Chapter 1374 - Xuanyuan Lingyan (1/2)

Commander Liu’s words were spot on. Before long, many clans came to pay their respects to Jiang Yi, bringing countless precious and priceless gifts. After Jiang Yi received two such persons, he lost interest in this and asked Commander Liu to dismiss the rest while keeping the gifts; after all, he wasn’t going to reject their generosity.

Taking over the Earth Emanations Army went very smoothly. With Xiao Leng around, who would dare to cause trouble?

However, many commanders in the Earth Emanations Army were from the Earth Emanations Pavilion Luo Clan. Taking complete control of the Earth Emanations Army still required some housekeeping. After seeking Jiang Yi’s approval, Commander Liu arranged for a few Demon-Killing Pavilion commanders to be reassigned to take over the Earth Emanations Army.

Originally, Commander Liu had invited Lu Hong as well. However, since Commander Liu was already the Assistant City Lord, Lu Hong was mindful of his current status and declined. After the few Demon-Killing Pavilion commanders took over the Earth Emanations Army, the Divine Eagle City would naturally become the Demon-Killing Pavilion’s heaven. There was no difference if Lu Hong took up post or not.

The Earth Emanations Pavilion Luo Clan was exiled from the Divine Eagle City by Xiao Leng while their commanders in the Earth Emanations Army also left with them. The Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan also decided to move to the Blue Eagle City. The Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan had a formidable martial artist that was now the Blue Eagle City Battle God Pavilion Assistant Pavilion Lord. Since Luo Fu and Luo Xiang were both dead, the two clans felt that if they stayed in the Divine Eagle City, they would suffer heavily under Jiang Yi. Even if Jiang Yi did not do anything, they would be suppressed harshly and would never be able to rise again. The two clans felt that leaving would give them a better chance at survival.

Jiang Yi did not bother about these things. Since he had decided to let the two clans off, he naturally did not want to play any tricks to harm them. He was presently in the Earth Emanations Pavilion Luo Clan’s manor and was inside the now Jiang Manor, drinking tea and chatting with someone.

“Tsk, tsk! Jiang Yi, the passing of a day leads to a man changing for the better. This saying aptly describes you. My dear City Lord, my father had been in the Earth Emanations Domain for so long and is only still a commander. You have actually become a City Lord after only ascending for a few days…”

He Wei looked about the castle as he sighed. When he heard that Jiang Yi was the new City Lord, he could not believe his ears. It was only after a commander had brought him into this castle and he had seen Jiang Yi that he finally believed it was true.

“Jiang Yi, are you and Lord Mo Lingqiu related?

“How did you escape after taking Luo Qingyan hostage? What happened after that?

“How did Luo Xiang, Luo Fu, and company die?”

He Wei asked many questions consecutively. Jiang Yi did not wish to discuss these matters; he was feeling rather down. He waved his hand and said, “Let’s not talk about these things. He Wei, if you want to, please stay in this castle. If you are too bored, you can be Commander Liu’s helper and manage the Divine Eagle City.”

“In that case, I shall not hold back!”

He Wei was naturally willing to take up such a good offer. He was very sensible and did not press Jiang Yi anymore regarding what had happened after Jiang Yi had left the Divine Eagle City. He thought about something and said, “Jiang Yi, you have given everything to Commander Liu and the others to take care of. However, things might go wrong easily. You should personally oversee some matters yourself.”

“I do not have time for these things!”

Jiang Yi shook his head and said, “I actually do not wish to be this City Lord. I only want to cultivate to increase my strength. I do not intend to grow old here in the Divine Eagle City and live here forever. Oh, yes, He Wei, regarding cultivation, could I trouble you to help me get some information on this? I am still not very clear how I can increase my strength.”

“Alright then!”

He Wei nodded as he walked out. He went to find Commander Liu first and then made a trip to the Demon-Killing Pavilion and brought back many secret manuals and books on cultivation.

Jiang Yi received the books and then went into seclusion. He did not care about anything happening in the city: he left Commander Liu and the others to take care of the matters in the city while affairs of his manor were left to the Black Deity. Xiao Leng had remained within the castle, and the Jiang Manor was as safe as it could be.

Unless Demon-Killing Battle God-equivalent formidable martial artists came to attack, no one would be able to hurt Jiang Yi. With Mo Lingqiu and Xiao Hong’s backing, which Demon-Killing Battle God-equivalent formidable martial artist would dare to cause trouble? Furthermore, who would purposely make a trip to Divine Eagle City without justification to kill Jiang Yi?

The Divine Eagle City slowly regained its peace and serenity. After Jiang Yi had entered his castle, he had never shown his face again. He also did not make any peculiar movements. Hence, all the clans big and small within the city slowly started to settle down once again.
