Chapter 807: Heaven Dome Quake

At this moment, even a fool would understand that the Devil Legion had a backer.

If there was no backer, how would a bandit legion dare to intercept a Heaven Fate Ship from the Green Bird Merchant Association which was one of the top three merchant associations from Gods Bestow City? It was a known fact that the Green Bird Merchant Association was linked to the four major clans in countless ways, and they were considered officials. There was an ancient saying that commoners should never go against an official, and no matter how powerful bandits were, they were ultimately still bandits.

Intercepting wasn’t as serious, but now that the Green Bird Merchant Association brought 10,000 Heaven Monarchs here, the Devil Legion were still so strong-willed? As long as the conversation didn’t go their way, they wanted to kill the hostages and start a war? It was obvious that their motive wasn’t for the 100 billion celestial stones.

“Wait!”

There was a burst of a yell as a fiery red figure flew out from a cabin of the ship. He stood arrogantly in the air and shouted with a cold voice, “Commander Mo Long, I am Jiang Yi. I don’t care about the feud between you and the Green Bird Merchant Association. I have two friends among the hostages, and I am willing to pay the ransom for them.”

Jiang Yi made his appearance and didn’t bother about the other hostages. He clearly stated that he only wanted Zhan Wushuang and Yun Fei.

“Jiang Yi?”

Mo Long’s eyes flashed with brilliance while many Heaven Monarchs behind had bright eyes as well. However, Mo Long quickly concealed it and said, “Are you that Jiang Yi that used Yi Piaopiao as your alias?”

Jiang Yi’s Fire Cloud Armor radiated with red light, making him look even more extraordinary. He nodded apathetically and said, “That is me!”

“Hahaha!”

Mo Long let out long laughter and paused before speaking, “Since they are Master’s friends, then I must give some face. Let’s do it like this. Master will hand over 100 billion celestial stones, and I shall release your friends. How about it?”

“100 billion?”

Many Green Bird Merchant Association’s guards were startled. Mo Long said to give face, but actually asked for 100 billion? Hundred billion for the whole group, but 100 billion for the two individuals as well?

Jiang Yi was laughing due to extreme anger. “Hahaha, your Devil Legion is really giving me face, huh!?”

“Naturally!”

Mo Long acted as though it was inevitable and right while saying, “What status does Master have? If a single Heaven Painting by Master can be sold for 100 billion celestial stones, celestial stones shouldn’t be of any problem to you. We stated the price of 100 billion celestial stones due to the respect we have for Master. If it is the Green Bird Merchant Association, our legion wouldn’t even give such face.”

Jiang Yi’s expression turned cold and said, “Is there no way to negotiate?”

Mo Long’s eyes flashed with killing intent and replied, “Why? Does Master also want to go to war with our legion?”

“I wouldn’t dare!”

Jiang Yi sneered and silently returned to the Heaven Fate Ship, but he didn’t say that he wanted to pay the ransom either. Mo Long waited for a moment and got frustrated and said, “Feng Lun, are you paying the celestial stones or starting a war? Make a decision! I—Lord Long’s time is precious and have no time to waste with you.”

Feng Lun stayed silent for a moment and yelled out, “Mo Long, wait for one hour. I will send a message to the President! After we pay the celestial stones, you will not go back on your words, right?”

“Naturally!”

Mo Long waved his hand with tyranny and said, “Our Devil Legion is the most trustworthy and will release the hostages after you pay the celestial stones. Since Master’s friends are inside, we must give some face, so you now have to pay 200 billion!”

“You…”

Feng Lun’s voice was so angry it was trembling, but he didn’t continue to infuriate Mo Long. He gritted his teeth and said, “Alright, 200 billion it is. Wait for one hour!”

Mo Long nodded his head lightly and spoke with a heroic spirit, “One hour it is. If you still do not have the celestial stones by then, then don’t blame us for killing the hostages!”

“Uh…”

Huangfu Taotian and countless Green Bird Merchant Association’s members were startled in the cabins as Mo Long was so forthright this time? He was actually willing to wait for one hour? Wasn’t he afraid that the Green Bird Merchant Association might play tricks in the dark? Or perhaps they were thinking highly of themselves and weren’t afraid of any schemes or plots?

Situ Yixiao and Qian Wanguan didn’t reveal any surprised expression but simply looked at Jiang Yi who had his eyes closed. Soon after, Jiang Yi opened his eyes and sneered. “Ten million miles to the west, south, and north, there are 10,000 individuals that arrived respectively; and all of them are Heaven Monarchs. They should be the nearby Luminous Star, Waning Moon, and Scorching Sun bandit legions. It seems like the mastermind spent countless celestial stones and gave great conditions to get four bandit legions to work together. Seems like my—Jiang Yi’s life is very valuable.”

Situ Yixiao and Qian Wanguan looked at each other and smiled as everything was within their anticipation. Situ Yixiao looked at the map and suddenly pointed at an island and said, “We will attack the Luminous Star Legion first. Wanguan, send out the message for all troops to attack!”

“Alright!”

Qian Wanguan had a message token that was the same as the one Feng Buxi had, and the token was radiating with runic patterns. Situ Yixiao looked at Jiang Yi and said, “Brother Jiang, I have to trouble you to continue scouting. President Feng will get everyone to standby and prepare for battle!”

“Hehe! If you want to cheat someone, you have to be prepared to get cheated, too. This time, we will completely wipe out all four legions.” Jiang Yi let out an indistinct smile and closed his eyes to enter the Union of Heaven and Man state while his Divine Perception spread out like the cool breeze.

…

Eight million miles to the west of Devil Island, ten thousand individuals were silently flying. They were all donned with blue battle armor while only revealing their icy cold eyes like the Devil Legion. They didn’t release any aura presence from their bodies, but the killing aura in their eyes was enough to make anyone tremble with fear.

“Increase speed!”

At the front, there was an expert that was three meters tall, who had a tough and stocky build like a giant. He burst out with a yell and said, “The Great Commander said that if we do this job well, we will all be able to return to East Imperial Continent and be granted with a region. We will all be city lords in the future, and we will enjoy honor and glory for generations!”

All the Heaven Monarchs behind him had bright eyes, and some were shaking with excitement. They might not be as excited if they were offered celestial stones or treasures, but it was just too huge of temptation. If they were given the chance to return to the East Imperial Continent with a legitimate status where all of them could be city lords to enjoy for generations.

They might die anytime when being a bandit in this place. Even if they didn’t die, what future prospects did they have? Could their future generations all be bandits?

Swish! Swish!

Ten thousand essence force jolted as all of them increased their speed and flew to the east. Their eyes were filled with burning heat as though there were groups of naked beauties waiting for them to enjoy.

However, there weren’t any beauties ahead. An intense spatial fluctuation was a few hundred miles ahead instead. Immediately after, black figures shot out from the void one after the other.

One hundred, one thousand—twenty thousand!

In just a few dozens of breaths of time, 20,000 experts emerged from the void ahead. These experts were all wearing grey battle armor, and they were wielding grey battle sabers. When these 20,000 individuals appeared, they instantly released their divine shields. They were actually all Heaven Monarchs.

“Void Transference? Situ Clan!”

The Vice Commander of the Luminous Star Legion exclaimed while his eyes contracted. He didn’t have any hesitation as he retreated the way he came from. He yelled out severely, “There is an ambush. Retreat back to the Luminous Star Island!”

“Wa!”

Ten thousand bandits were all frightened. The original information they received was to deal with the Green Bird Merchant Association. Who would have expected for the Situ Clan to actually appear?

If they knew the Situ Clan was making a move, they wouldn’t dare to oppose them even if someone beat them to death. The Situ Clan was one of the chiefs of the Gods Bestow Tribe. Whoever dared to make an enemy out of the 13 Clans would only have death awaiting them.

The Situ Clan might have brought 20,000 Heaven Monarchs, which was not only double their numbers. Even if the Situ Clan brought 1000 men here, the Luminous Star Legion wouldn’t dare to start a battle either. This was the Situ Clan which was famed for their military prowess that killed their way out of blood and fire for hundreds of thousands of years!

“Hmph, still trying to escape?”

A sneered echoed from the Nine Heavens above, which was followed by a giant palm that slammed down abruptly.

That palm was over 300 meters wide and covered the entire sky. The palm wasn’t slamming towards the people, but at the spatial zone which caused it to shake. Immediately after, the spatial zone within the hundred-mile radius was vibrating intensely as cracks appeared like the spider web. Only a few hundred individuals from the Luminous Star Legion were able to continue flying while the rest were all immobilized and could only tumble around in the spatial vibration.

“Six-star dao pattern, Heaven Dome Quake! Situ Battle Hall Elder, Situ Nu!”

The Vice Commander roared out with fear while his eyes revealed despair. The strongest peak-stage Heaven Monarch of the Situ Clan was here… did they still have any chance to survive?
