Chapter 1698: Fish Bait
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Yun Bing could not fish anything out of Jiang Yi. All she could do was leave begrudgingly. She did not dare to really chase Jiang Yi out. Her own father had instructed her not to provoke Jiang Yi.
What’s more, Heavenly King Yun arranged for many people in the Flying Feather Command to let him know the moment anything seemed suspicious. Now, ordinary people were not allowed to even enter the mystic realm which contained the Flying Feather Command.
Yun Bing left, and Jiang Yi continued cultivating. He did not take a single step out of his secret cultivation room. All the spies hidden in the army were stunned.
Many spies kept activating their divine senses to look around as if afraid that Jiang Yi would leave all of a sudden and fall outside their control. However, nobody knew how long he planned to cultivate. After all, they could not possibly keep their divine senses on the castle indefinitely. That would be as good as letting the Flying Feather Command know that they were spies.
However, the spies from the various great family clans were very intelligent. At last, they used their various connections to act as the guards outside Jiang Yi’s castle. This way, they could keep an eye on the castle in broad daylight. No matter how hard he tried, Jiang Yi would not be allowed out of their sights.
Jiang Yi, on the other hand, had no plans to leave whatsoever. He was prepared to stay there for a full year. He forgot everything in the past and paid no attention to anything in the present. Instead, he wholeheartedly focused on cultivating.
This made the Dao Clan anxious. After waiting for a full month, nothing happened. Many people’s heads were beginning to hurt. The Dao Clan and many other family clans were keeping their eyes peeled, waiting for Jiang Yi to emerge. All of them had their battle swords sharpened, but it was proving to be pointless. They were so frustrated that they wanted to cough up blood.
As time kept passing, some Clan Heads of the family clans decided not to bother about this matter anymore. If Jiang Yi decided to remain in there for ten years, were they supposed to stand by the entire time? In any case, the spies were keeping a close eye on him. Once an opportunity presented itself, they would naturally burst into action.
Dao Nù was also growing impatient. Initially, he asked about Jiang Yi’s movements every single day. Subsequently, he only asked every three or five days. Now, he was not even bothering to ask. Asking would only make him more frustrated.
The good thing was that Dao Leng finally returned after a month. White River King did not disappoint him. Secretly, they investigated every single detail about Jiang Yi; they even knew how many people there were in the Jiang Clan in Skyplume City. Most importantly, nobody knew that they did this. Although the Earth Emanations Sovereign became suspicious, he did not discover any secrets in the end.
Dao Nù quickly led Dao Leng to Dao Nu. Dao Nu then led Dao Leng to the Azure Supreme Thearch’s Lost Stone Forest to see the Azure Supreme Thearch.
Buzz!
The Azure Supreme Thearch’s eyes congealed on a smooth cliff wall. Neither Dao Leng nor Dao Nu dared to look him in the eyes. The Azure Supreme Thearch asked in a cool tone, “What’s the situation now?”
Dao Leng retrieved a huge chest, which contained jade slips. On them were recorded the details of eighteen generations of Jiang Yi’s ancestors. Dao Leng respectfully reported, “Azure Supreme Thearch, here is all the information concerning Jiang Yi. We’ve already investigated everything thoroughly. En… we also did not draw any attention to ourselves.”
Swish!
A gentle breeze blew past them but quickly dissipated. The Azure Supreme Thearch’s emotionless voice sounded again, “Have you read it? Read it and tell me every detail.”
Of course, Dao Leng had already read all the information. Immediately, he replied, “Jiang Yi was born in a Pan Universe Small Realm named Stellarsky Domain. It is extremely small. Jiang Yi’s clan was small as well. All eighteen generations of his ancestors were indigenous to the Stellarsky Domain, and there was nothing extraordinary about them. His father is also indigenous, but his mother is a Young Mistress of one of the divine races in the Earth Domain, the Phantom Race. Azure Supreme Thearch, have you heard of them? The scouts of some armies in the Heaven Domain are all the Phantom Race.”
“En, go on!”
The Azure Supreme Thearch responded, expressing that he knew about the Phantom Race. Dao Leng continued, “Jiang Yi was born out of wedlock. At a young age, his mother brought him to a smaller family clan to be raised. However, his mother was later arrested by people from the Phantom Race. Now, she is being crushed under the Saint Spirit Mountain. When he was young, Jiang Yi was not talented at all. In fact, one could even say he was trash. When he was sixteen, however, his powers suddenly saw a breakthrough…”
Dao Leng had indeed investigated everything in detail. He carefully explained everything that happened to Jiang Yi in Stellarsky Continent, how he later got to the Mystic Thearch Palace, Sin Island, Snow Region, and everything else. He even explained clearly the number of women Jiang Yi married.
The people of Stellarsky Domain were too weak. White River King casually sent a God King and a God Thearch there, but just their powerful divine senses alone could scan through the memories of many people’s soul spirits. They did not need to alert a single person to what they were doing in order to get all this information.
Dao Leng was even clearer about what happened later when Jiang Yi got to the Earth Domain. It was a full hour later when Dao Leng finally finished explaining everything about Jiang Yi. He left almost nothing out. Of course, Dao Leng had no way of finding out what outsiders did not know.
After Dao Leng finished speaking, the Azure Supreme Thearch fell silent. It was almost as if he was trying to digest all the information. Five minutes later, he finally asked, “The sword he used to kill the Netherworld General was called the Fire Dragon Sword? There was a very powerful mysterious elder in the sword? Do you have a painting of the sword? Do you have a painting of that mysterious elder?”
“We have a painting of the sword, but not the mysterious elder. Nobody remembers him. I guess he was the sword spirit of the Fire Dragon Sword.”
Dao Leng found the painting of the Fire Dragon Sword, and the Azure Supreme Thearch used his divine senses to scan it. Confused, he asked, “How come no one remembers what that elder looks like? Did everyone involved in that battle die?”
“No…”
Dao Leng shook his head and answered, “I don’t know who used some mystical ability to wipe out the memories of all those who were involved in that battle. We only found out about the elder through rumors. I am not sure if the story about the mysterious elder is even true.”
“Could it be a coincidence?”
The Azure Supreme Thearch mumbled to himself. He stayed quiet for a long time before he ordered, “Think of a way to kill Jiang Yi and snatch his sword from him.”
Dao Nu and Dao Leng exchanged a look as if confused by this instruction. Dao Nu asked, “Master, is there something wrong with that sword? Dao Leng has seen it before. It looks like an ordinary Dao Heaven Spiritual Treasure.”
“Don’t ask what you don’t need to know.”
The Azure Supreme Thearch replied coldly. “Just think of a way to kill Jiang Yi. However, you have to do it in secret. Don’t let Wei Pingping become suspicious of you. Be dismissed.”
Dao Nu and Dao Leng left, and the pair of eyes disappeared into the cliff wall once again. A moment later, another confused voice sounded. “Fire Dragon Sword? Could it really be the one that belonged to the Heavenly Thearch? Didn’t the Heavenly Thearch’s Divine Weapon fall in the hands of the Netherworld Thearch? If not… why would Wei Pingping think so highly of Jiang Yi?”
Dao Nu and Dao Leng returned to the Azure Supreme Thearch Peak, having received the Azure Supreme Thearch’s orders. However, the Dao Clan’s people were in for a hard time. It would be easy to kill Jiang Yi, but difficult to keep it a secret. What’s more, they were instructed not to let Wei Pingping become suspicious of them. If Jiang Yi was still hiding in the Nine Yang Valley like a turtle in its shell, how would they kill him?
Dao Nu gathered all the elders of the Dao Clan to think of a plan. After a round of discussions, they came up with the last resort: to lure the snake out of its cave. They wanted to make Jiang Yi walk out on his own!
The Dao Clan decided to activate the Teleportation Formation that led to the Earth Domain, so that people from the Earth Domain would be able to come up to the Heaven Domain. They could then return to the Earth Domain to spread rumors that Jiang Yi was in danger. That would lure Jiang Yi’s closest friends and relatives up to the Heaven Domain to rescue him.
Once they came here, the Dao Clan would come up with a plan to trap them in a place. They would then send a spy to inform Jiang Yi, luring him out of Nine Yang Valley to rescue them.
The Dao Clan could not bring themselves to take Jiang Yi’s closest friends and family hostage. That would be stooping below their level. What’s more, they did not want Wei Pingping to become suspicious of them.
All they could do was leave the fish bait out, and hope that Jiang Yi—the big fish—would take it.
