Chapter 1058: Divine Sonar Valley

Jiang Yi did not rescue Tang Yan and Tang Xue because he wanted to own them. Still, after discovering that they probably had astral bodies, he was quite surprised.

Instead of saying that he was being kindhearted, it was more accurate to say that he was having a great internal struggle.

In all these years, his hands had become covered with blood. He had killed many people. Although he never once killed a civilian, some killings he committed were unnecessary. He felt like he had become quite numb to the entire process. Now, he was not even sure he still knew who he was. He wanted to look inside himself and try to find some sense of humanity.

After gifting a rose, the hand would have lingering fragrance!

Helping people made him happy. Seeing the two girls happy, he felt like he did something good for once. There was an unspeakable joy that filled him from within. This world was way too cruel and ruthless. Take Tang Ming for example: he did not want to hand those two girls over to that disgusting pervert to be mistreated either. However, for the sake of his own clan, he hardened his own heart.

Society was a huge dye vat. It could bury one’s innate goodness. When they were children, all of them lived in some sort of fairy tale. They thought that the world was perfect, and everyone was friendly. However, as they grew up, they began to see for themselves how cruel the world could really be. If they continued to be kind to others and act like they were in a fairy tale, there would be no way they would be able to survive. All they could do was adapt and become cruel themselves.

This was exactly what happened to Jiang Yi!

He had never liked killing others. He did not even like conflict to begin with. Much less did he care for becoming the second Mystic Thearch. All he wanted was to live peacefully together with the woman he loved. The cruel world forced him into this. In order to protect the people he loved, he had to pick up the sword and keep fighting. He was most afraid of turning into a killing machine—the kind of people that he hated the most.

So he made up his mind on the Heaven Fate Ship. He had to help Tang Yan and Tang Xue. Not only would he be helping them, but he would also be helping himself to discover his original self. He wanted to awaken his conscience and the humanity inside him.

…

They were four days away from the wedding of the Great Young Master of the Chen Clan. Tang Ming, Jiang Yi, and the others were put up at a resident wing. Tang Ming had a reputation of his own outside of his own Tang Clan. Many people came forward to visit and greet him. Jiang Yi tried not to bother about all these little things. He stayed in his own room, locking himself away from everything that was happening beyond his four walls. He had to prepare himself to follow Tang Ming to the Divine Sonar Valley on the day of the wedding.

He set up some restrictions around the room and allowed Tang Xue and Tang Yan to come out. He scanned the hairpins on their heads and then subconsciously took note of their heights. He faced the older sister, Tang Xue, and asked, “Tang Xue, do you have some kind of special astral bodies? Why is that Old Fiend Li so eager to bring the both of you over?”

“Ah?”

On hearing the three words ‘Old Fiend Li’, the color drained from the two girls’ faces. Tang Yan began to tremble slightly. She looked pitifully at Jiang Yi and said, “Sir, you’re not going to hand us over to him, are you? I beg you—I’d rather you kill us right now.”

Jiang Yi’s expression darkened. Tang Xue quickly chided her, “Little Sister, don’t spout nonsense. This gentleman is not like that. Quick, apologize to the good sir.”

Tang Yan looked slightly indignant as her eyes began to well up. Still, she turned to bow to Jiang Yi. “Sir, Yan’er has wronged you. Please punish me as you please.”

Looking at Tang Yan, the anger that Jiang Yi initially felt dissipated. His expression remained cool as he said, “Smack your own behind a hundred times! Hmph, how dare you insult my character?”

“Ah?”

Tang Yan jumped, her face turning red immediately. This teenage bashfulness could make a man’s heart sway. She bit her red lips and actually began to smack her own behind.

“Alright, alright. Little Sister, the good sir was just teasing you.” Tang Xue giggled. She turned to Jiang Yi and said, “Why not you smack her yourself?”

“If I smack anyone, it’ll be you.”

Jiang Yi stared at her and then waved his hand. He took on a serious expression as he said, “How about what I asked you earlier?”

The older sister Tang Xue was much livelier than Tang Yan. She was more playful as well—she was not in the least bit afraid of Jiang Yi. She stuck out her tongue and then said, “We don’t know either, but our mother is of the Civet Race. My father spent about ten million celestial stones to buy her over. When we were ten years old, our clan was wiped out by enemies. Everybody was killed—even our parents died. That was when we were sold to become slaves.”

“The Civet Race?”

Jiang Yi blinked. This was the first time he was hearing of such a race. However, if someone would pay ten million celestial stones for someone from the Civet Race, they must be pretty special. He pondered for a long while but soon became lazy. He allowed the two girls to go and entertain themselves while he sat cross-legged on his bed. He decided to try and realize more dao patterns and comprehend more sorcery. Without a proper training room, his progress was extremely slow. A while later, he gave up even training.

…

The closer they got to the wedding day of the Great Young Master of Chen Clan, the noisier the Divine Sonar City became. The Nine Thearch Clans aside, even the various leaders in the surrounding cities and clans sent people to come and deliver their congratulations.

Jiang Yi remained in his room the entire time. After all, he was pretending to be a commander in the Tang Clan. No one minded him. Whatever happened, Tang Ming was there to handle it.

Four days later, the day of the wedding finally arrived. Jiang Yi had stopped training a long time ago. He sent the two girls into the Thearch Palace before putting on his blue full-body armor. Looking like a dashing soldier, he finally emerged from his room.

“Let’s go. We have to go outside to gather first. We’ll only go and observe the ceremony at the Divine Sonar Valley later on.”

Tang Ming had woken up early as well. Once Jiang Yi arrived, he led the group of five outside. There, an elder of the Chen Clan led the entire group to the city plaza. They mounted another chariot and headed toward the Divine Sonar Valley.

There are so many people!

The moment they entered the city plaza, Jiang Yi got shocked by the crowd gathered there. There was a straight line of prestigious chariots lined up along the city plaza. Jiang Yi guessed that there were at least ten thousand chariots. In other words, there were at least ten thousand people in the city plaza witnessing the wedding ceremony. Nearby, there were tens of thousands more people observing the ceremony.

Tang Ming, Jiang Yi, and the others were led to a certain chariot. After waiting for a couple of minutes, many chariots flew up into the sky and headed toward the east of the city. From his own chariot, Jiang Yi saw the other chariots ascending into the sky. The sight was one to behold. He secretly thanked the heavens that the Great Clans of the East Imperial Continent were big enough. Wanguan’s wedding ceremony was nothing compared to this.

Once I get to the Glazed Pagoda and bring Ruoxue back to the Gods Bestow Island, I will surely throw a huge wedding ceremony for her as well.

Thinking about Su Ruoxue perked Jiang Yi up. His mind filled with images of that beautiful young lady’s body. By the time he came back to reality, the chariots in front of his own were already landing. He suddenly realized that they had arrived at their destination—the Divine Sonar Valley.

“Eh?”

The empty land suddenly shone brightly. A huge valley appeared in front of them. There were also three green mountains surrounding it. It was obvious that there was some kind of illusion zone below.

There were mountains, rivers, reservoirs, trees, flowers, and the like!

Jiang Yi nodded subtly. This Divine Sonar Valley was a good place for one to live quietly. It was no wonder that the Sonar Thearch did not live in the city. It would be much better for him to remain in seclusion here to train.

The chariots stopped on a piece of flat land in front of a building. There were red carpets on that flat land, and on them were several golden tables. Delicacies were already laid out nicely on those golden tables. Standing all around, there were at least five thousand female servants. There were so many people that Jiang Yi was already getting dizzy trying to process them all.

The Sonar Thearch has not appeared yet, right?

Jiang Yi used his divine senses to scan the area and found that there was no aura belonging to a Demigod. All he could do was follow Tang Ming to one of the golden tables to wait for his arrival.

Woo…

At that moment, they heard the cry of a dragon coming from the south. A huge golden dragon cut through the air and flew toward them. It was about three hundred meters long, and its body was glowing in the sun. It had ten claws. The formidable aura caused all the female servants to hold their breaths. This was the Demon Sovereign.

“A Ten-Claw Divine Dragon? That’s someone from the Zhan Clan!”

Someone suddenly shouted. Tang Ming looked up at the dragon suspiciously. “Zhan Tianlei? Don’t the disciples of the Zhan Clan rarely come out of their Mystic Thearch City? Even they are here to observe the ceremony this time?”

“I know why.”

Jiang Yi, who was behind Tang Ming, suddenly spoke up. He had a bitter look on his face as he stared at the handsome man riding the back of the golden dragon. Beside him stood a beautiful woman.

The woman was dressed in a white dress. Her features were extremely beautiful. She looked just like one of the spirits of the forest. The most eye-catching thing about her was her valuable jade legs.

It had already been two years. Jiang Yi was obviously shocked to see Yin Ruobing again.
