Chapter 1145: Zhan Wudi

Once night fell, the Situ Residence bustled. The Family Heads of all thirteen clans had arrived. Those old Demigods did not appear. The fact that they had gone out of the city to welcome Jiang Yi back showed their attitude. It would be too much for them to be a part of such a movement now.

What should have been a good celebration was dampened because of what was happening on the Stellarsky Continent. Jiang Yi was in no mood to chat with the crowd. Instead, after entertaining everyone for a while, he retreated back to the Jiang Castle and prepared to leave.

This time, Jiang Yi was going to bring everyone along with him. Nowhere was safer than inside the Mystic Divine Palace. This palace could use Heaven Evasion. No one in the entire East Imperial Continent would be able to break through the restrictions of the Mystic Divine Palace in a short time. Thus, Jiang Yi was convinced that it was the safest inside the palace.

Since they had already contacted Qian Wanguan, Situ Yinian wanted to tag along as well. Jiang Yi did not mind this. Since Situ Yinian wanted to tag along, both Situ Yixiao and Huangfu Taotian wanted to stop work and tag along as well. The people of the thirteen clans never dared to step out of Sin Island. However, things were different now that they had the Mystic Divine Palace. Of course, they would not pass up the opportunity to step out and see the outside world safely.

Jiang Yi asked Situ Ao and Huangfu Qi if they had any objections, but neither of them did. Instead, the two of them were quite excited. After all, this was the first time that the disciples of the thirteen clans were allowed to step out of Sin Island. The Mystic Divine Palace could accommodate millions of people without a problem. Jiang Yi waved his hand and allowed everyone who wanted to come to enter the palace as well. Instead of putting them all up inside the palace itself, he asked them to stay in one of the eighteen strange spaces—the Moon Mirror Lake.

This was the thirteenth checkpoint. It was a strange space inside. There was a huge lake. Beside the lake was a dense group of green trees. This stage was supposed to be quite dangerous. There were tens of demon sovereigns hidden inside the lake, but since Jiang Yi was now the owner of the palace, the demon sovereigns could easily be transported to other spaces.

“This is beautiful!”

Feng Luan and the others were very impressed by the palace. The eyes of Situ Yixiao and the others brightened up. This place had very thick heaven and earth essence energy. Living here would be as comfortable for them as living in paradise. The only downside was that there was no palace here, nor any houses.

“Yixiao, ask people to cut down some trees to build some houses. You can also build a bridge across the lake, pavilions, and anything else that would make you all more comfortable!”

Situ Yixiao and Huangfu Taotian brought more than ten Heaven Monarchs and a few servant girls with them. It was an easy task for Heaven Monarchs to build houses. The group of them immediately got to work, cutting down trees and setting up the restrictions. Feng Luan, Situ Yinian, and the others gathered together and discussed how they wanted to decorate their new houses. Even Su Ruoxue joined them in these discussions. The chatter of the group of women filled the entire place with life.

“En? Not bad!”

Jiang Yi’s scrunched-up eyebrows relaxed slightly. He reached out and carried the three-year-old child that Zhan Wushuang had been holding. Smiling, he asked, “What is your name?”

Zhan Wushuang’s son looked very much like Zhan Wushuang. The two of them had bronze skin—they both looked very much like heroes. The child seemed full of bravery as he said proudly, “My name is Zhan Wudi! Uncle Jiang, my mother and the other aunts always talk about you. You’re their hero!”

“Hahaha! This is a very formidable name!”

Jiang Yi nodded slightly. He recalled something and set Zhan Wudi back down onto the ground. An exquisite dagger appeared in his hand. The runic patterns on this dagger lit up. The patterns on the dagger were complex, and it exuded a powerful aura. Even the blade of the dagger was beautiful. With one look, one could tell that this was no ordinary weapon. Jiang Yi handed this dagger over to Zhan Wudi and said, “This is a present from Uncle Jiang. When you grow up, use this dagger to conquer the world.”

“Uh…”

Zhan Wushuang raised his eyebrows. Both Situ Yixiao and Huangfu Taotian looked over at the dagger, astonished. Zhan Wushuang quickly held his hands up and said, “Jiang Yi, this is an ancient artifact. It’s a bit of a waste to give it to Zhan Wudi, isn’t it? You’ve already given me two treasures.”

“What’s yours is yours! This is for my nephew.”

Jiang Yi turned and saw the look in Situ Yixiao’s and Huangfu Taotian’s eyes. More pieces of equipment appeared in his hands: a long spear and an awesome battle sword. He gave one to each and said, “These two weapons are ancient artifacts as well. What’s more, the dao patterns within them are very deep. I think they are quite powerful. These are for you.”

“Hehe, good stuff! Jiang Yi, you’re really something.”

Huangfu Taotian did not look in the least bit embarrassed. He quickly took the battle sword and admired it. Situ Yixiao admired his own long spear as well. Fighters had very little resistance toward divine weapons and equipment. Yet, the disciples of the thirteen clans had been trapped inside Sin Island. There was no way that they were able to travel to ruins and historic remains to pick up powerful weapons like these. Huangfu Taotian and Situ Yixiao aside, even Lei Banxian and the others had no ancient artifacts with them.

As they spoke, houses were being built. One elder among the Heaven Monarchs built the Jiang Castle singlehandedly; thus, this task was peanuts to him. The speed at which the group was building houses was frightening. In just two hours, more than ten buildings stood by the lake. At this time, Situ Yixiao also went out and came back with many things that the maidservants could use to decorate the houses.

“If we’re almost done, let’s get going!”

Jiang Yi nodded satisfactorily. The Mystic Divine Palace disappeared into thin air from the Gods Bestow Island and used Heaven Evasion toward the Blood Night Fearsome Sea. There was almost no need at all to control the Mystic Divine Palace now. All Jiang Yi had to do was use Heaven Evasion, and they were guaranteed a smooth and peaceful journey.

Situ Yixiao brought a total of ten Ancient Divine Essence Rings along on the journey. There were all sorts of random things inside the rings. He also brought more than ten maidservants with him. Feng Luan and the others got very busy but also looked very happy with decorating their new houses. The ten or so buildings quickly became decorated so that they looked beautiful and homely. In fact, they looked more like ten castles.

“Mm, living here is more comfortable than living in the Mystic Thearch Pavilion. If there’s a chance in the future, I should bring Mo Yao’er and Yin Ruobing here as well. I wonder if they will object though…”

Young masters and young mistresses from the thirteen clans were gathered here. Yin Ruobing was a disciple of one of the Nine Thearch Clans of the East Imperial Continent. If he made her stay with these people, there would be a conflict between them for sure. This gave Jiang Yi a headache again. Mo Yao’er was more obedient. The only thing that Jiang Yi was worried about with her was that she would not be able to blend in with Feng Luan and the others. He had no choice but to leave this problem to be solved another day.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder!

It was a pity that what was happening at Stellarsky Continent was really weighing down on Jiang Yi’s heart. He was not in the mood to get intimate with Feng Luan and the others at all. Of course, Jiang Yi stayed with them for two days or so and told them all a bit about what happened back at the East Imperial Continent. He also gave each of them a treasure from his travels.

Su Ruoxue stayed with Feng Luan, Qing Yu, Yun Fei, Situ Yinian, and the others for a long time and became visibly happier. Feng Luan, Qing Yu, and Big Sister Bell could deal with the situation quite well, too. Once they heard from Yun Fei who Su Ruoxue was and what had happened to her, they treated her extra nicely and helped her to get comfortable with the rest of the family very quickly.

“Ai! We have no time to go to the Endless Deep Sea as well. I wonder how Jiang Xiaonu is.”

A few bridges were built in the Moon Mirror Lake as were a couple of pavilions. Under one such pavilion, Jiang Yi and Zhan Wushuang sipped their tea. Still, images of Jiang Xiaonu were filling Jiang Yi’s mind. He also thought about the little fox in the Heaven Fox Continent. He wondered if the little fox had grown up after all these years.

“Hoho!”

A laugh rang from across the lake. The group looked for the source of this laugh and saw Situ Yinian, Yun Fei, Su Ruoxue, and the others playing with Zhan Wudi in the lake. The scene was extremely heartwarming.

Jiang Yi’s face broke into a grin, and a determined look filled his eyes. For the sake of these women and children’s future happiness, he had to be strong. He had to get rid of the Wu Clan completely, along with all the enemies who threatened to break this peace.
