On the next day, Jiang Yi paid a visit to Big Sister Bell and presented a generous gift. Big Sister Bell treated Jiang Yi a meal and leisurely took him to the City Lord Mansion.

They walked side by side on the street with no entourage. When people ran into Big Sister Bell, they didn’t even dare to greet her but just waited respectfully by the side for them to pass first.

“Big Sister, why don’t people greet you?” Jiang Yi asked curiously.

Big Sister Bell smiled faintly and said, “I gave an order before that no one will greet me. If anyone dares to say anything before I speak, I will cut his tongue.”

“Uh…”

Jiang Yi gave her a big thumbs-up and signed with emotions. “Big Sister is so domineering. That’s right… being called by people every day is quite painful to the ears.”

Big Sister Bell smiled faintly. She stopped talking and walked to the City Lord Mansion with Jiang Yi. After going inside, they didn’t stop and quickly went to the second floor. This time, Jiang Yi didn’t walk side by side but was behind her. He watched her plump ass wriggling.

“Be careful. I will gouge out your eyes.”

With having to turn around, Big Sister Bell felt the insolent glare behind her, and so she sent a voice transmission. Jiang Yi giggled and stopped peeping. He laughed and sent a voice transmission that said: “Big Sister, you’re gorgeous.”

“Glib tongue!”

Big Sister Bell sent a voice transmission over. When they reached the second floor, the soldiers that guarded the doorstep cupped fists and even greeted Big Sister Bell. “Greetings to Big Sister Bell.”

These two soldiers paused and cupped their fists at Jiang Yi on the back. “Greetings to Chief Jiang!”

Big Sister Bell nodded arrogantly. Jiang Yi said in a friendly tone with a big smile, “I trouble you two.”

It was his third time going to the second floor of the Sky Thunder City, Jiang Yi felt different. At least, he was more relaxed and no longer had to worry about the thunder stones.

Big Sister Bell walked straight to the central hall. When she reached the central hall that was farthest away from the entrance, she knocked on the door and said, “Aunt Lu, Qiling requests to see you.”

“Come in!”

An indifferent voice came from the central hall. The door flashed with black light and opened automatically. Big Sister Bell gave Jiang Yi a look and sent a voice transmission that said: “After going inside, be respectful. Remember what I have told you this morning.”

Jiang Yi nodded and followed Big Sister Bell inside. The central hall was very luxurious with all kinds of sumptuous furnish. There was also a window, and a gray-haired old lady was sitting on a couch chair in front of the window, reading books. She didn’t say anything when seeing them coming in; she just took a glance.

“Aunt Lu!”

Big Sister Bell said in an easy manner. She walked to the back of the old lady with a dazzling smile and began massaging her shoulders. Jiang Yi bowed reverently and said, “Lone Wolf sends his greetings to the City Lord.”

“Rise.”

The old lady still sounded cold. She handed her book to Big Sister Bell behind her, looked at Jiang Yi, and said, “Chief Jiang? Why did you come to the Gods Bestow Tribe?”

Jiang Yi replied, “To my Lady, I came here because I offended the Young Master of the She Clan—She Fei—and had no other choice.”

“She Fei?” The old lady nodded and asked curiously, “Isn’t She Fei the most powerful Young Master in this generation of the She Clan? You even made it here alive despite offending him. You are already quite mighty.”

Jiang Yi trembled slightly. This City Lord of the Sky Thunder Island even heard of She Fei?! However, when he realized that the Nine Thearch Clans and the Thirteen Clans of the Sin Island were mortal enemies, he understood why.

Jiang Yi smiled bitterly and said, “I just got lucky. I’m just a small chip in the eyes of the She Clansmen, unworthy of their attention.”

“I see!”

The old lady didn’t pursue this matter. In her opinion, She Fei definitely didn’t trouble the whole clan. Otherwise, Jiang Yi would be long dead.

She paused and frowned. Chilly light glittered in her eyes, her aura oozed out, and she asked in a deep voice, “Chief Jiang, exactly how did you kill Ba Dao and Chief Long, and how did you defeat Chief Leng? As far as I can tell… you are at the Vajra Realm, right? I’ve heard that you have Thunder Fire?”

Jiang Yi’s heart shivered again. Big Sister Bell lowered her eyes and seemed that she didn’t dare to speak. This was the Sky Thunder Island, a very important place for the Lu Clan to garner their wealth. It was fine that Jiang Yi was not afraid of the Thunder Fire; it was completely not okay if he could tame the Thunder Fire. What if he destroyed the Thunder Gathering Array on the island? The Lu Clan would suffer heavy losses.

Jiang Yi understood this. Big Sister Bell indirectly brought up this matter during the meal with Jiang Yi just now. Thus, he already drew up a script in his mind. Cupping his hands, Jiang Yi said, “My lady, I don’t have the Thunder Fire with me. Mine is not the Thunder Fire, but a very special kind of flame. I cultivate the fire-element dao seed and have comprehended a very unique fire-element divine skill.”

“Oh? Not the Thunder Fire?” The old lady sneered and said mockingly, “Then you release some to show me.”

Jiang Yi asked in surprise, “Here?”

“Ke-Ke!”

The old lady smiled in conceit and said, “Are you afraid of burning me to death? Release as you wish.”

Jiang Yi waved his hands and said awkwardly, “I didn’t mean this. The flames are extremely hot. I’m worried about destroying the furniture in this room…”

“Why is that a problem?”

The old lady smirked. A stream of black light glowed on her hand, which was congealed into a ball, similar to a bubble. As she continued to inject the black light, the ball got bigger and bigger. When it grew into the size of a human, she lightly pushed Jiang Yi in.

Buzz!

A semi-transparent black shield appeared around Jiang Yi’s body, and the old lady’s voice sounded: “Release freely!”

“Alright!”

Jiang Yi gritted his teeth and took out the Fire Dragon Sword. The Fire Spirit Pearl shone, but he didn’t let out the Thunder Fire, but the Nine Heavens’ Dragon Flames instead. However, he let the flames out very ingeniously. He poured the flames into the Fire Dragon Sword first, and so that fire tongues appeared gushed out of the sword. The temperature instantly became very high.

Chi! Chi!

The semi-transparent black shield around his body radiated with brilliance, but it didn’t crack. Jiang Yi clenched his teeth and circulated a sliver of Thunder Fire from the Fire Spirit Pearl, which was on the Fire Dragon Sword. Thus, when the Thunder Fire appeared, it seemed to be coming from the sword, too—just as the Nine Heavens’ Dragon Flames.

Buzz!

The light of the black shield got even brighter. The old lady turned pale and sent a voice transmission that shouted deeply: “Alright!”

Jiang Yi didn’t release much Thunder Fire in the first place. As he heard the old lady, the Fire Spirit Pearl automatically took in the Thunder Fire and the Nine Heavens’ Dragon Flames. The outer black shield disassembled, too. The scorching heat shrouded the whole room in.

Luckily, Jiang Yi withdrew the Thunder Fire and Nine Heavens’ Dragon Flames. Though the temperature was high, it had yet to reach the point of catching fire. Still, the old lady and Big Sister Bell felt a shortness of breath.

The old lady nodded and said, “It is really not the Thunder Fire and is much hotter than the Thunder Fire. Chief Jiang, carry on with your cultivation and improve your essence force. You’ll have a promising future. When you reach the Heaven Monarch Realm in the future and would like to join our Lu Clan, I can be your referee.”

Jiang Yi was secretly delighted, certainly because the old lady didn’t saw through his trick that it was actually the refined Thunder Fire. He quickly bowed and said, “Many thanks to the City Lord.”

“Alright!”

The old lady waved her hands and said, “You just keep one thing in mind that you will never destroy the Thunder Mountains. Otherwise, even if Qiling pleads on your behalf, I won’t spare your life. Leave us now. Qiling, stay to chat with me.

“Jiang Yi will remember that carefully.”

Jiang Yi cupped his fists and excused himself. The moment that he stepped out of the door, he let down his guard. He had passed the City Lord and was finally safe in the Sky Thunder City. With the connection of the Big Sister Bell, no one would be a threat to him in this Sky Thunder City.

He could immerse himself in cultivating, accumulating merits, and comprehending dao patterns. When he got one million merits, he would go to God Bestowing Island. Then, he would cultivate for a few more years and wait for his strength to reach a certain level before he could go to the East Imperial Continent and rescue Su Ruoxue.

“Rest for some days and spend some time with Xiaonu, Feng’er, and Qing Yu. Then I’ll go to the Thunder Mountains!”

As Jiang Yi walked out of the City Lord Mansion, he started to think over what his next plan was. After he was outside, he looked at the sky on the east. Frowning, he mumbled to himself, “Don’t know whether I can catch that trace of dao pattern presence and comprehend that strange dao pattern now.”
