Chapter 765: Meeting an Old Friend in a Foreign Place

“Boss, the Gods Bestow Plaza is right ahead!”

In the large street, Jiang Yi and his group had squeezed their way out of the crowd. Qian Wanguan was at the front, Jiang Yi was at the side, and the Golden Flood Dragon was at the back, surrounding the three girls. The six of them had used the appearance alteration elixir to change their appearance, and after putting on some ordinary clothes, they looked very normal. As their strength wasn’t overly formidable, no one noticed them.

“So many people?”

When Jiang Yi looked at the densely packed crowd at the front which looked like a whole cluster of ants, he got a headache as he didn’t want the three girls to be taken advantage of. There were more than half of the bandits outside the Gods Bestow Island which had entered the city, and most of them were used to having their ways and not having to comply with rules. Whenever they saw women, they would reach out their perverted hands. If it wasn’t for Jiang Yi and the two other men protecting the girls, they would already have been groped multiple times.

No one dared to act violently in the city, and even if someone groped the girls, they wouldn’t dare to fight back. There were just too many people in the city plaza, and Jiang Yi was hesitating if they should go inside.

“Let’s just casually watch from the corner.”

Jiang Yi took a glance and found a corner which wasn’t as crowded. Since everyone’s visions were quite good—even though the plaza was rather big, they still would be able to see clearly. There wasn’t a need to enter the plaza.

After opening a path in the crowd, they struggled and finally reached a corner outside the Situ Merchant Association, where they silently waited for the Gods Bestow Ceremony to begin.

At the center of the Gods Bestow Plaza, there was also a giant statue, which was also the Great Emperor Nangong. However, this statue was several times bigger than the one in the southern part of the city. Right now, there were tall platforms which surrounded the three-kilometer radius of the statue; and it was guarded by soldiers wearing black-colored battle armor. There were nine giant bronze cauldrons placed on the tall platforms which circled around the statue. They were each lit up with a blazing flame which illuminated the surroundings with a red light.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

A group of people soared into the sky from the northern castle complex and flew over to the tall platforms quickly. In this group, there were males, females, old, and young. All of them were wearing sky-blue battle armors. The males had boundless aura presence while the females had extraordinary heroic spirit. This group of people was already more than 40 years of age and all had mountain-like aura presence, and they were obviously peak-stage Heaven Monarchs.

“The Lei clansmen are out!”

“Quickly take a look at the no.1 young lady of Lei Clan, Lei Zihan; she is so beautiful. The no.1 young master of the Lei Clan, Lei Qiyan is also so dashing. The two of them are already in the Heaven Monarch Realm. The talents of the Lei Clan’s youth generations are all here.”

Swish! Swish!

Just as everyone was in discussion, hundreds of people soared into the sky from the eastern castle complex and flew here rapidly. The Situ Clan had appeared, and Situ Ao was leading a group of experts as they landed swiftly on the high platforms. He too had several graceful young masters who plenty of people had paid attention to.

“I heard that Situ Yixiao had just broken through to the middle-stage of Heaven Monarch. Tsk tsk… if it isn’t because of the traitorous son from the Huangfu Clan, Situ Yixiao would definitely be the no.1 young master of the tribe.”

“Huangfu Taotian had already been expelled from the Huangfu Clan and cannot be considered a young master of the Huangfu Clan, right? In my opinion, Situ Yixiao is already the no.1 young master of the tribe.”

Swish! Swish!

There was a group of people that flew from the western castle complex. They were all dressed in black battle armor, and they were the people from the Huangfu Clan. Many people took glances, but when they didn’t see Huangfu Taotian inside the group, they were all in a heated discussion. The Gods Bestow Festival was of such importance, and Huangfu Taotian wasn’t here. It seemed like he had truly been expelled by the clan.

“What crimes did Huangfu Taotian commit? Such a heaven-defying talent was actually expelled from the clan? Is the Huangfu Clan that willing?”

After hearing the discussions, Jiang Yi sent a transmitted question to Qian Wanguan while the latter let out mischievous laughter and replied: “I did find out some rumors, but I don’t know if they are true. The rumors said that… Huangfu Taotian actually started a fight with his father in the clan because of a woman. Finally, he even caused the clan’s torture chamber to collapse and even stated that he will revolt against the Huangfu Clan. He killed his way out of the city on the same day and even injured dozens of clansmen. The Huangfu Clan Head was trembling with anger and had announced that Huangfu Taotian had been evicted from the clan on the next day.”

“So aggressive?”

Jiang Yi was silently shocked? The more powerful the clan, the stricter the clan rules. After Huangfu Taotian left, it would probably be hard for him to return to the clan. With his talents—if he was to stay in the clan, he would definitely be chosen as the next clan head.

“Woman?”

Jiang Yi couldn’t understand. Huangfu Taotian was a man with such splendid talents; what kind of woman could he marry? Why would he fall out with his father over a woman?

Considering Qian Wanguan’s information was based on rumors and gossips, Jiang Yi didn’t overthink and didn’t treat it like facts. In his heart, he had a good impression of Huangfu Taotian. Perhaps it was because of their similar experiences and character as he too intended to kill his way into Jiang Yi City and cause havoc in the Jiang Clan. Both of them had the rebellious temperament deep in their bones.

Swish! Swish!

Another group of people flew out from the south castle complex, and it was the Nangong Clan. Jiang Yi took a casual glance which caused his eyes to suddenly contract. Not only him, but Feng Luan, Jiang Xiaonu, Qing Yu, Qian Wanguan, and the others were also shocked. They saw someone familiar… Big Sister Bell!

“My name is indeed Qiling. However, my family name is not Qi, but Nangong. Little Brother. Take care. If I live, I will surely come back to see you.”

When Jiang Yi recalled about the words that Big Sister Bell said before she left, his eyes were filled with doubt. Big Sister Bell might be standing behind the group of people, but her status wasn’t probably very high in the clan. If she could appear today, it meant that she was definitely a young lady from the Nangong Clan.

Since she was a young lady from the Nangong Clan, why would she wander to the Sky Thunder City? She even seemed to have some blood feud with the clans from the White Tiger City? She was a young lady from the Nangong Clan. Putting aside the regular clans, not even the Lu Clan would dare to offend her, right?

However, no matter what, Jiang Yi’s mood immediately got better. Life had four happy occasions: ‘rain after a drought’, ‘meeting an old friend in a foreign place’, ‘wedding night’, and ‘getting top scores in an imperial exam’. It was truly great to be able to meet an old friend in Gods Bestow City.

Big Sister Bell was like his elder sister, his close female friend and even like his lover. This woman had once unselfishly helped him, and if it wasn’t for Big Sister Bell, he would be impossible for him to come to this place.

“Should I transmit a message to Big Sister Bell?”

Jiang Yi had absolute trust for Big Sister Bell, but when he saw the countless peak-stage Heaven Monarchs on the tall platforms, he didn’t dare to act recklessly. Who knew if there was anyone inside the crowd that had powerful abilities or secret arts? He had no choice but to think of another method to contact her.

“Hahaha! Everyone has arrived so early!”

There was a burst of hearty laughter that came from the skies as more than a thousand individuals flew over from the southwest side. Jiang Yi took a glance and quickly lowered his head while the others had shrunk back as they saw Lu Lin and Lu Qi in that group of people. They should be the clansmen from the rest of the nine clans.

With all the 13 Clans here, the ceremony was going to start. The bonfires in the nine large cauldrons were burning vigorously. The Lei Clan Head looked at the sky and lifted his hand while saying, “Let’s begin!”

Everyone present was instantly quiet, and even a pin drop could be heard.

A few elders walked out from the four major clans and were about to perform a ritual for the Gods Bestow Ceremony. Right at this moment, a giant and deep roar could be heard from the western skies, which was immediately followed by a horrific aura presence which enveloped the entire city. Countless eyes looked over and countless expressions changed instantly!

There was a giant black flood dragon flying over from the west. This flood dragon wasn’t of the same class as the Golden Flood Dragon as its body was more than 200 meters long and was obviously countless folds stronger than the Golden Flood Dragon.

The black flood dragon was covered with black scales glistening with cold light as though they were cast with molten iron. Its basin-sized eyes were filled with cold intent and were like the bright moon in the sky. The massive black flood dragon’s body had covered half the sky, and its powerful aura presence was like a mountain floating in the sky. Everyone didn’t even dare to let out a large breath, and their souls were shivering.

“This black flood dragon should be beyond the peak stage of the Heaven Monarch? It might even be limitlessly close to the existence of a god!”

Jiang Yi took a glance and was silently appalled. However, he and everyone else didn’t place their attention on the black flood dragon—but above the head of the black flood dragon.

Someone was standing on the head of the black flood dragon—an absolutely beautiful green-haired young lady who had looks comparable to Jiang Xiaonu.

The young lady was very beautiful, and her green hair draped behind her back like silk. She was wearing a pink long dress, and she had this aura of innocence from her entire body. Especially now that she was standing on the head of a horrific black flood dragon, it allowed her to give off a hair-raising beauty.

The corner of her mouth had this faint smile as she spoke with a sweet-sounding voice that echoed throughout the entire city, “Qianqian is representing the Endless Deep Sea’s millions of demon race to pay tribute to the Great Emperor Nangong!”
