Chapter 466: Deception

Bead of Life!

Jiang Qiling really had reached the Noble Lord Realm. Given her status, she must have made the breakthrough for some time now. She was close to the middle stage of the Noble Lord Realm, no weaker than Ming Yu.

A Noble Lord Realm warrior didn't stand a chance when faced with a Human Sovereign Realm warrior. However, how could Jiang Yi ever be bold enough to fight her? Not even Jiang Wuwo could contain her when she goes nuts. She can even probably tear the Island of Delicacy apart.

Jiang Yi was forced into a dilemma. He communicated with Jiang Wuwo, who was in his study, with psychic power. Jiang Wuwo couldn't decide, either. The fact that Jiang Qiling had reached the Noble Lord Realm was proof that she was really gifted. Her future could be promising. Her status would be no lower than his and she might be able to succeed Jiang Wuwo as future Family Patriarch.

Therefore, Jiang Wuwo didn't want anything to happen to her. But Lu Li was here again, disturbing her. If Jiang Wuwo indulged them, he was afraid that some undesirable things were going to happen sooner or later.

Jiang Wuwo scanned Lu Li with his psychic power and was shocked to find that Lu Li had reached the Eternal Realm. Lu Li had been cultivating at a speed unforeseen by Jiang Wuwo. After all, Lu Li grew up in the Northern Desert. According to the information Jiang Wuwo collected, Lu Li grew with no Mystical Materials. He was not even a warrior when he was 15.

"Never mind…"

Jiang Wuwo sighed. He sent a word to Jiang Yi who felt that the matter was quite tricky and yet could not disobey Jiang Wuwo. Jiang Yi stared at the furious Jiang Qiling and said, "Family Patriarch has said that Young Lady can go out but I must accompany her."

Jiang Qiling pulled a long face. Lu Li winked at her to calm her down. He understood that this was as far as Jiang Wuwo was willing to give in. If they didn't accept this offer, Jiang Qiling might not be able to leave the City of Delicacy.

Jiang Qiling understood Lu Li's signal. She said in a cold voice, "Let's go. Don't mind him. Just think of him as a dog."

Jiang Yi was trembling in rage but Lu Li burst into laughter. They sailed away. Soon, they were out of the Jiang Family yard. Jiang Qiling took Lu Li to the Teleportation Formation and Jiang Yi followed them reluctantly.

Lu Li's mind was occupied with questions about the battlefield. Since Jiang Yi was with them, he could not ask now. He had to wait for a chance.

When they were teleported to the Clouds City, Lu Li finally came up with an idea. He pointed to the Teleportation Formation and said, "Lady Qi, the people of the Palace of Peaceful Heavens are quite nice. They helped us build this Teleportation Formation. Should we pay a visit to their master to extend our gratitude?"

Jiang Qiling took the hint. She said to a team leader, "Lead us to your master."

The Master of the Palace of Peaceful Heavens as at the Clouds City so Jiang Yi didn't read too much into the request. As far as he could see, no one here would dare to show any disrespect to Jiang Qiling since the Palace of Peaceful Heavens was one of Pavilion of Delicacy's major subordinates.

The Master of Palace of Peaceful Heavens welcomed them in person. After all, both Jiang Yi and Jiang Qiling were here. What came next were some polite exchange of pleasantries, which was boring. Lu Li and Jiang Qiling expressed their gratitude to the master while Jiang Yi and the master praised each other highly.

Then the master personally invited them to dinner, an offer that Jiang Qiling didn't decline. But she demanded not to have her dinner with Jiang Yi, claiming that she wasn't a fan of eating with an old guy.

The master had to listen to her. Jiang Yi was unhappy but he didn't say anything. So, they set off to different dinners.

Finally, Lu Li had a chance to ask quietly about how to enter the Demon-slaying Grounds. He thought that he could handle everything else as long as Jiang Qiling told him about the location of the entrance.

"You thought everyone could get in?"

Jiang Qiling rolled her eyes and said, "You cannot enter unless I am there with you in person. Think of a way to get rid of Jiang Yi. We have to teleport immediately and quickly so it will be too late before he catches up."

Lu Li sunk into deep thoughts, trying to figure out a way. The Palace of Peaceful Heavens sent over a young lady and a young master to keep Lu Li and Jiang Qiling company. The young master was warm-hearted and he kept toasting the two. The young lady, on the other hand, was shy. She rarely spoke, though her looks were amazing.

Lu Li and Jiang Qiling's thoughts were otherwise occupied so they answered with lukewarm attitude. The young master was given the cold shoulder. But he didn't feel embarrassed or reduced his excitement. He knew how to behave.

Seeing how passionate the young master was, Jiang Qiling thought of an idea. She looked at the young lady next to her and said, "Dear, you haven't spoken much. I think you must be tired. How about you go back to have a rest? I have something I want to talk to your brother about."

The young lady left shyly after bidding goodbye. Jiang Qiling looked at the young master with her enticing eyes and said, "Young Master He, is it? Can I ask a favor from you?"

Jiang Qiling didn't talk to the Young Master He much until now. Her sudden smile made him excited. He answered with determination right away, "Please, name it, Lady Qi. I am willing to risk any danger for you!"

Jiang Qiling's smile grew bigger. She moved closer to Young Master He and whispered to him. Hearing her words, his eyes opened wide in terror as he said, "How? This is…"

Jiang Qiling became angry at once. She looked at Young Master He and said with a mock, "Who just told me that he is willing to risk any danger for me? Young Master He, it's not that I am belittling you. People like you don't have a promising future. I don't think you are future master material."

Promptly, Young Master He's cheeks went rosy in excitement. He shouted coldly, "Fine, I will do this. To sacrifice my life for Lady Qi is my pleasure."

"Ha, ha, ha, it's not that serious. Your father will not punish you. Just tell him it's my idea." Jiang Qiling waved her hand and continued, "Go and set it up. If you can do this right, I owe you one, a big one."

"Okay!"

Young Master was cheered up by the idea of her owing him. He left quickly. Lu Li and Jiang Qiling continued their feast in the hall. Jiang Yi would scan over with his psychic power every now and then but he would stop as soon as he made sure the two were still there. He was cautious.

"Later, run to the Teleportation Formation as fast as you can. The third one, remember!"

Jiang Qiling whispered to Lu Li. Her eyes glowed as if she was a girl meeting her lover secretly.

Lu Li grinned. He knew Jiang Qiling must have come up with something naughty and he only had to wait in patience.

"Boom!

An hour later, there came a huge noise of explosion from the west side of the city. Then cries and shouts came out. The master of Palace of Peaceful Heavens scanned over with his psychic power. Soon, he flew up in rage toward west as he roared, "Who is it? How dare you make a fuss at the Clouds City? Courting death!"

"Whoosh!"

Jiang Yi rushed over at once to Lu Li and Jiang Qiling to protect them. Jiang Qiling probed over and said, "Just two small thieves and they are only at the Fate Wheel Realm. Why are you so nervous? I didn't know that the Hall of Peaceful Heaven's public security is so degraded, though."

Jiang Yi was relieved after he made sure that it really was only two warriors at the peak of the Fate Wheel Realm. However, right at that moment, three people appeared in the yard and were dashing toward Lu Li and Jiang Qiling.

"Jiang Yi, incoming enemies. Stop them!"

Jiang Qiling shouted. Without giving it much thought, Jiang Yi flew out. His horrifying qi and energy spread out as he was about to release Force Field and kill the enemies.

"This is not safe. Let's go back to the City of Delicacy."

Jiang Qiling shouted. Then Lu Li released his Fate Wheel while she released her Bead of Life. They rushed to the Teleportation Formation at the top of their speed. They were so fast that they vanished into the Teleportation Formation as quick as one breath. Jiang Yi didn't even realize what had happened.

"No—"

The master of Palace of Peaceful Heavens and Jiang Yi both sensed something was off. The master found out that those troublemakers were his people wearing the Illusions Masks and he recognized them as soon as he was close enough.

As for Jiang Yi, before he approached anybody, the three people that were coming at him all knelt down and said, "Patriarch Yi, I am forced to do this. This is not my fault…"

"Buzzing!"

Lu Li and Jiang Qiling were already inside the Teleportation Formation and it was glowing. If by this moment Jiang Yi still could not tell that this was a ruse put on by Jiang Qiling, he would have wasted his years on earth.

"Boom!"

When Jiang Yi made his way to the plaza, Young Master He suddenly came out and then made a determined move to cut at the Teleportation Formation with a ray of sword light. In a boom, the Teleportation Formation was destroyed.
