Chapter 843 - The Final Victor
Bang!
In North Thearch City’s Wu Castle… there was a muffled sound that echoed with inside the Sin Hall. Wu Ni had slammed the table with rage, turning that expensive jade table into dust. The commanders at the side all had a change in expression as they knelt down while feeling terrified. “Young Master Ni, please calm down. We have done things unfavorably, we have sinned.”
“Idiot!”
Wu Ni turned to look at those people before looking back at Ji Tingyu who was sitting there peacefully. He glared at the commanders and said, “You don’t even know why I am angry, and you came to beg for forgiveness? The Wu Clan had nurtured all you useless people for nothing.”
“All rise!”
Ji Tingyu spoke indifferently, “Young Master doesn’t have the intention to blame all of you. He is angry because Jiang Yi’s luck was simply too good this time. Alright, all of you may be dismissed…”
The commanders quickly dismissed themselves before Wu Ni would abuse them due to rage. Young Master Ni’s temperament might have been better during recent days, but everyone was frequently abused by him in the past.
“That’s right!”
After everyone left, Wu Ni turned around and let out a long breath before speaking, “This kid’s luck is simply heaven-defying. Tingyu, you have taken great pains to think of this deadlock plan, but it was actually broken by the Endless Deep Sea’s Thearch at the final moment! This Thearch actually escaped out of the Mystic Divine Palace due to Jiang Yi? During the treasure hunt at that time, this old thing must have cheated for Jiang Yi, right? We have utterly failed this time, and we will not have another chance to kill Jiang Yi. The 13 Clans will not dare to deal with Jiang Yi, and they will certainly think of all ways to protect him as they are afraid something might happen to him. Sigh… god’s plans have superseded our own plans.”
That’s right!
The deadlock plan on Jiang Yi was all planned by Ji Tingyu while Wu Ni had fully participated as well. During this period of time, he had been deeply convinced by Ji Tingyu’s wisdom and assumed that Jiang Yi was definitely going to perish this time, but he didn’t expect the last-minute failure.
Ji Tingyu was the one who got someone to hand over the information to Lei Qiyan on the relationship between Big Sister Bell and Jiang Yi. The information of Jiang Yi smuggling thunder stones was given to the Lu Clan by Ji Tingyu, too. The East Imperial Continent’s merchant who dealt with Qian Wanguan was actually a chess piece from the Jian Clan. Everything that Jiang Yi did was closely monitored by the Nine Thearchs Clans.
That President Liu was actually a member of the Wu Clan. On the surface, President Liu’s clan had been persecuted by the Ye Clan, but the clansmen that got killed by the Ye Clan were all fake. Their true objective was to gain Qian Wanguan’s trust.
With Ji Tingyu’s help, President Liu had made a lot of contributions and set up plenty of open and hidden connections, and Qian Wanguan had slowly regarded him highly, promoting him to the position as President. Qian Wanguan had attempted to test out President Liu a few times, but with Ji Tingyu’s help, they were all successfully covered up. The Nine Thearchs Clans were too powerful, and how could Qian Wanguan outmatch Ji Tingyu when he didn’t have any foundation in East Imperial Continent?
Now that Qian Wanguan’s second man was Ji Tingyu’s hidden chess piece, everything was made easier. Ji Tingyu then arranged for thousands of low-class spies to infiltrate with ease. It was too easy to determine what Qian Wanguan and Jiang Yi were going to do as long as they monitored the ten soul slaves that Qian Wanguan had recruited.
Using others to do the dirty work!
The method that Ji Tingyu used this time was very simple. The better Qian Wanguan was doing in Situ Clan, the more concerned the three clans were, making it more dangerous for Qian Wanguan and Jiang Yi.
If the three clans didn’t want the Situ Clan to continue expanding, they had to think of ways to kill Qian Wanguan and Jiang Yi. The fact that Jiang Yi smuggled thunder stones and colluding with the enemy was a great excuse for the three clans. Those three clans didn’t bother if the incidents were real or not. On the wedding day, when Qian Wanguan sent people into Nangong Clan, the three clans decided to make the move.
The results had many Wu Ni and Ji Tingyu very satisfied. Jiang Yi’s speed of growth had surprised the two of them, too, but it was a pity that Ao Lu appeared at the final moment, ruining their flawless plan.
It was why Wu Ni was so furious when he received the detailed battle report. The plan that they had taken so much trouble to set up and was just about to succeed, which would make Wu Ni’s name renowned in the Nine Thearchs Clans. No one had expected for it to result in a last-minute failure.
“Young Master doesn’t have to be angered!”
Ji Tingyu had this indifferent smile on her face the whole time while her expression remained calm even after reading the battle report. It seemed as though she would never be angry.
She stood up and poured a cup of tea for Wu Ni and spoke gently, “We might have failed this time, but the clan will definitely take notice of you. After all, a huge commotion was stirred up; and the four clan’s Demigod experts were all forced out while the Endless Deep Sea had brought out so many Demon Sovereigns. The three clans and the Situ Clan had formed a thorough gap while more than 1000 Heaven Monarchs from the three clans had been killed—at least 100 peak-stage Heaven Monarchs were killed, right?
“Furthermore, the Endless Deep Sea’s Demon Sovereign had behaved so overbearingly, which would definitely cause dissatisfaction in the hearts of the people from Gods Bestow Tribe, forming a crack in the alliance. All these are huge contributions. Just you wait, Young Master, the clan’s elder hall will summon for you very soon. Later on, you have to be cautious of your way of expressing. You are not trying to deal with Jiang Yi but causing internal conflict and friction in Sin Island. There wasn’t any war this time, but paying such a small price to cause such a huge commotion, Young Master must be in a new light in the eyes of those old fellows in the elder hall.”
“Uh…”
Wu Ni didn’t think so deeply, but he was reminded by Ji Tingyu. His eyes then lit up. After carefully thinking about it, this seemed to be a rather good thing?
This time, he didn’t use much of the clan’s resources at all and had planted more chess pieces again instead. Moreover, he had wrecked the 13 Clans so much that they nearly had internal strife. The Situ Clan and the three clans were definitely on unfriendly terms now while the Endless Deep Sea and the Gods Bestow Tribe’s alliance had a crack. All these were his contributions!
“This isn’t right!”
Wu Ni turned to look at Ji Tingyu abruptly and said, “These are not my contributions. I didn’t do anything as all these are planned by you. Tingyu, if the clan summons me, you should go with me, right?”
“No!”
Ji Tingyu giggled and shook her head. “Without Young Master’s support, Tingyu wouldn’t be able to do anything. All these contributions must be accounted on Young Master. What good would be for them to be accounted on Tingyu? I would at best become an elder of the clan? But Young Master is different, Young Master can continue to contribute and become Young Clan Head, become the North King, and become the North Thearch! Young Master must remember… the more authority you get, the more Tingyu can help you to plot. Tingyu’s ultimate target is to assist Young Master to become the next generation Mystic Thearch and conquer the Stellarsky Domain.”
“Alright!”
Wu Ni was surging after listening to all those. He looked at Ji Tingyu with burning eyes and said, “What can’t I achieve with Tingyu? Tingyu, the day I become the Young Clan Head, I will marry you as my First Wife.”
Ji Tingyu smiled as though a hundred flowers blooming. She nodded lightly and said, “Tingyu looks forward to it!”
Gulp!
Wu Ni picked up the tea on the table and drank it before speaking in a vicious tone, “Jiang Yi, you are lucky this time. I hope you never step out of the Gods Bestow Tribe in this lifetime; otherwise, I will surely kill you.”
Shh-shh-shh!
There was an echo of footsteps on the outside, while a man’s voice echoed immediately after. “Young Master, the elder hall summons you!”
“Here it is!”
Wu Ni and Ji Tingyu looked at each other while he revealed a resplendent smile before he tidied up his robes and walked out in large strides.
Ji Tingyu stood up to send him off. After Wu Ni walked out, she leisurely sat back down and flipped through a few sets of information and muttered in a cold voice, “Not coming out of Gods Bestow Tribe for this lifetime? Hehe, it will not be long before Jiang Yi will definitely sneak into East Imperial Continent, right? Su Ruoxue is your most beloved woman, isn’t she? Jiang Yi, our confrontation is just beginning. The final victor shall be determined by the one with the superior methods…”
