Fury Towards The Burning Heaven

Panda Novel

“Is this the Gods Bestow City?”

“Oh, dear!”

“God, is the Gods Bestow City really bestowed by the god?”

After two days, the Heaven Fate Ship stopped. Jiang Yi and Feng Luan extended their divine senses immediately; they all fell into sheer shock.

It was a flatland with no grass. Dazzling beautiful flowers were everywhere. However, Gods Bestow City was not on the plain ground, it was—in the sky!

A block of huge black stone floated in the sky three kilometers above the ground. The slab of stone was at least 50 kilometers wide. It was a single giant stone, without any crack, or any supporting pillars below it. It just suspended in plain air abruptly. On top of the stone, there stood a grand giant city.

It was the largest city that Jiang Yi had ever seen—it was even twice bigger than the Fengdu City in the Mystic Divine Palace. The walls were made of black boulders which were 100 kilograms. City walls were as tall as three thousand kilometers, with an ancient and eternal presence. Even the Heaven Fate Ship, which was as big as a giant beast, seemed to be an ant compared to this city—let alone Jiang Yi and his group.

“God, how is this city able to hang in the sky?” Qing Yu’s little mouth was wide open, which could also fit a duck egg.

The city in the sky!

This was so incredible. It wasn’t just one Heaven Fate Ship. Its weight must be heavier than the Heaven Fate Ship by billions, tens of billions of times. Nothing could explain this, other than a miracle.

Jiang Yi swallowed a mouthful of saliva to soothe his breathing. It was quite late, they had to enter the city as fast as possible and buy a house. Otherwise, once the sun set, the Gods Bestow would be under curfew. If they couldn’t stay in the city, they were definitely going to die.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Countless men rose up from the Heaven Fate Ship and flew towards the Gods Bestow City. The Thearch Palace glistened on Jiang Yi’s hand. He let Qian Wanguan out and took Feng Luan and Qing Yu back in. After that, he took Qian Wanguan out of the cabin.

“Two distinguished guests, this is the VIP command token of the Green Bird Merchant Association. You can enjoy an 80% discount with this token. I’m very sorry about what happened, hope that you’ll forgive us.”

A commander quickly walked towards them and handed over a dark golden command token with two hands, wearing a big smile. Jiang Yi casually put it inside the ring, cupped his fists, and said nonchalantly, “Goodbye!”

The two rose up and flew towards the magnificent southern city gate. Soon, they landed on the black stone slab. It was a flat city plaza. They glanced around and found one hundred guards outside the city gate. Surprisingly, they were all middle-stage Heaven Monarchs and were led by one peak-stage Heaven Monarch.

“The four great clans are indeed influential!”

They were secretly startled and didn’t risk messing around. They joined the queue and entered the city obediently.

“Hm? Do we need to pay celestial stones to enter the city?! Ten thousand for each person?! These 13 clans are really evil…”

Jiang Yi took a few looks and scratched his nose in embarrassment. There were several thousand people in the queue right now, which meant several billion celestial stones. Some people were really miserable; they couldn’t hand in the celestial stones when Huangfu Taotian robbed them halfway. They almost exchanged all the treasures they had for celestial stones, which were barely enough for them to enter the city.

“These few people don’t have many celestial stones left. Won’t they be dead even if they go into the city?”

Jiang Yi sent a voice transmission to Qian Wanguan who rolled his eyes and sent a voice transmission back: “They may be going to their relatives or friends here for help. Or, they may already own properties in the city.”

“That’s true!”

Jiang Yi smiled embarrassedly. It was very fast to hand in the celestial stones. It was Jiang Yi and Qian Wanguan’s turn in less than one hour. Jiang Yi handed over the prepared 20 thousand celestial stones. However, one guard glanced at him coldly and shouted, “How dare you to fool us! There are obviously four people and one demon king in the spatial divine artifact, so it’s 70 thousand celestial stones in total. As you deliberately keep the truth from us, you have to pay ten times the celestial stones. It’s 700 thousand celestial stones in all!”

“What?”

Jiang Yi’s eyes shrank. They didn’t hold back the truth; they just didn’t know the rules. It was no problem to pay celestial stones, but they were just too unreasonable?!

When seeing the great displeasure in their eyes, the guards instantly roared angrily, “What’re you waiting for? If you don’t have the celestial stones, get lost!”

“I have!”

Jiang Yi replied, gritted his teeth, took out 700 celestial stones from the ring, and threw them over. Then, he strode into the city. He previously had a good impression on the Gods Bestow City, which was completely ruined by this guard. He had a much worse impression of the four great clans, too.

After going into the gate—instead of a long street, there was a giant city plaza. There were a lot of people and heavy traffic. In the center, a massive statue stood there.

“Great Emperor Nangong?”

The statue was very vivid. It was an average-looking middle-aged man, and the only outstanding thing was his deep eyes. There were three big words below it. Jiang Yi turned around and asked Qian Wanguan, “Who is the Great Emperor Nangong?”

“He is the extraordinary man that built the Nine Dragons’ God-Slaughtering Array, the Great Emperor acknowledged by the thirteen clans.” Qian Wanguan explained. Swiftly, he sent a voice transmission confusedly: “Boss, do you really not know the four great clans?”

Jiang Yi nodded and sent a voice transmission: “I knew about Huangfu Clan only. I got that information only after I met Huangfu Taotian. You never told me anything…”

He seldom looked into such matters before. He spent days and nights cultivating in the Thunder Mountains so he was rather unfamiliar with the happenings on the Gods Bestow Island. Qian Wanguan rolled his eyes and said, “The four great clans of the Gods Bestow Island are the Lei Clan, the Nangong Clan, the Situ Clan, and the Huangfu Clan. They are the strongest four among the thirteen clans and have controlled the Gods Bestow Island for 100 thousand years.”

“Oh, okay!”

Jiang Yi nodded and looked confused. How came he was so familiar with the surname Nangong? It seemed that he had heard it before.

“That’s right… Big Sister Bell!”

Jiang Yi suddenly clapped his head. It occurred to him that before Big Sister Bell left, she brought up her surname deliberately, which was Nangong. He felt puzzled that time about why Big Sister Bell purposely said it. Did it have some special meaning?

“Is Big Sister Bell a member of the Nangong Clan? That doesn’t make sense… if she is a descendant of the Nangong Clan, why did she go to the Sky Thunder City? She also talked about revenge. If she was really the young mistress of the Nangong Clan, wouldn’t she be able to kill a man by just giving the order?”

Jiang Yi pondered for a while and dismissed the idea. He stopped thinking about it. The Gods Bestow Tribe was too big. Perhaps, he would never meet Big Sister Bell in his lifetime again.

“Boss, it’s getting dark. Let’s buy a courtyard house first.”

They continued to go forward. Qian Wanguan was very eloquent and soon found out that there was a southern City Lord Mansion on the north of the city plaza. They quickly walked in, went straight to the third floor, and entered a central hall.

“Hello, my Lord. We would like to purchase a courtyard house!”

Jiang Yi stood aside, and Qian Wanguan came forward and inquired politely. An old man in a black robe sat there. He glanced at them expressionlessly, and said in a deep voice, “The small courtyard is 10 billion merits, with a monthly rent of 10 million celestial stones. The medium courtyard is 30 billion merits, with a monthly rent of 20 million celestial stones. The large courtyard is 100 billion merits, without any celestial stones required.”

“What?”

Qian Wanguan thought he heard wrongly. Wasn’t it said that only merits were needed? Why did they need to hand in celestial stones every month? Moreover, it was 10 million celestial stones a month—they might as well just rob them.

“What? Are you going to buy or not? If not, please go out.” The old man peeped at Qian Wanguan indifferently and said in a deep voice.

Qian Wanguan looked at Jiang Yi, who nodded expressionlessly. He now had an even worse impression on the four great clans. This was a place that ate people up without even sparing the bones. If one was unable to hand in the monthly rent, he had to undertake missions and kill men for the celestial stones. If any accidents happened, one might lose his life, which meant that his courtyard house was up for sale again.

Qian Wanguan took out the merit command tokens and celestial stones, in exchange for a white jade command token, with no.1112 written on it.

They left the City Lord Mansion side by side. Jiang Yi looked at the giant city plaza and the over 30-meter tall statue, sighed heavily, and said, “We can’t stay in this Gods Bestow Tribe for a long time. We have to improve our strength as soon as possible and then go back to the East Imperial Continent secretly as soon as possible. The longer we stay here, the more quickly we’ll die…”
