Jiang Yi continued to realize the dao patterns days and nights. Several days later, fifty men sneaked out of the city from the west city walls at night.

Forty-five out of the 50 men were Heaven Monarchs. The other five men were all at the Vajra Realm. One young man, who was as fat as a ball, was surrounded by others. They were all in black robes with bamboo hats. There was no way to see their faces clearly.

They climbed over the city walls. At night, there were fewer guards on the city walls, but there were still people stationing every 500 meters. However, these 50 men easily climbed over like foxes. The guards up the walls turned a deaf ear to them. There was originally a transparent shield over the city, but at this moment, there was nothing in the sky.

These 50 men rushed straight to the northwest direction after leaving the city. There were patrols on the island at night, but there was nobody on the island tonight, not even a ghost. The group easily got to the seaside, turned into 50 sea fish, dove into the water, and disappeared.

One hour after the crowd left, commander Lu Feng made a leisure patrol on the island. He swept across the sea region as sharp as electricity and murmured in a voice that only he could hear, “Lord Qian, don’t let my lord and me down. Otherwise, don’t blame us for being heartless and sparing no one...”

...

Qian Wanguan took 49 men and left the Sky Thunder Island quietly. They were heading to the White Tiger Island five million kilometers away, which was the second biggest island in the White Dragon Archipelago. They were going to trade with the merchants from the East Imperial Continent on the White Tiger Island.

Five million kilometers were not very far. Jiang Yi would reach there by one Heaven Evasion in five minutes. However, the group needed to travel for five days in total. They didn’t dare to march publicly as they would be targeted by the numerous bandit legions in the nearby sea region.

Although there were 45 Heaven Monarchs among them and normal bandit legions wouldn’t risk approaching them—if they encountered some powerful bandit groups, it was very likely that they would be annihilated.

They needed to dive to the White Sprout Island nearby and then take a merchant ship that belonged to a merchant association on the island. This merchant association wasn’t the Lu Clan’s but was quite famous on the White Dragon Archipelago. Bandit legions didn’t dare to provoke the merchant association’s fleet as this merchant association was backed by an elder of the Lu Clan who held the real power.

Collusion between the government and the merchants was always the magic weapon to make big money!

Any merchant association had to gang up with the local ruler if they wanted their business to prosper and to obtain enough profits. There were ten big merchant associations on the White Dragon Archipelago. Every one of them was supported by the Lu Clan’s elders. The merchant association’s fleet would be robbed by bandit legions before leaving the harbor if they didn’t have any background.

Commander Lu Feng asked people to secretly pull the strings a long time ago. Of course, he didn’t expose himself. Even if the middle man was exposed, it wouldn’t be traced to him. Qian Wanguan and the rest would arrive at the White Tiger Island under the cover of the ship fleet to go to the agreed place and trade with the men from the East Imperial Continent.

It appeared that Qian Wanguan and his group were completely safe, but in fact, dangers were everywhere. For example, it would take half a day to dive to the White Sprout Island. Though bandits seldom stopped people in this sea region between the Sky Thunder Island and the White Sprout Island, there were always exceptions.

Moreover, on the White Tiger Island, they still needed to walk for half a day to the trading location. In the Gods Bestow Tribe—as long as they were not in the city, everywhere was dangerous.

The most crucial thing was that Qian Wanguan was a slave. Half of the other 49 people were slaves, with a big word ‘SLAVE’ on their foreheads. Once they were spotted by the Lu Clansmen, they would be immediately executed!

The quiet leaving of Qian Wanguan and the rest was noticed by many people in the city on the second day. After all, so many Heaven Monarchs disappeared suddenly; no one was blind.

However, soon a rumor was passed around in the city. Feng Luan’s plan started working. The rumor said that those 50 men were out to kill people. There were too many Heaven Monarchs in the city. It was better to let them out to make money than idling about in the city. There were over 10,000 bandit legions in the nearby sea region around the White Dragon Archipelago. Though many bandit legions had a lot of members, very few were Heaven Monarchs. If they destroyed the bandit legions, they would be awarded a great number of treasures and celestial stones!

As for why these 50 men were able to sneak out of the Sky Thunder Island without alerting anyone, the explanation to that was rather unbelievable. It was said that... Chief Jiang was pretty close to a commander who could provide information on the exact locations of the bandit legions. With the covert help from the Lu Clan commander, it was very simple to destroy a small bandit gang.

This rumor was very specific and made sense. It implicated Jiang Yi and a Lu Clan commander, which made the story more mysterious. All the low-grade martial artists fell for that instantly; some Heaven Monarchs firmly believed it, too. Only very few Heaven Monarchs who knew the inside story smirked at it. The celestial stones awarded for killing some bandit legions would never be enough for Qian Wanguan to go through all these troubles. They were fooling themselves.

Five days later, Qian Wanguan and his group returned safely. They all had a smell of blood and appeared murderous. After returning, Qian Wanguan took the 49 men to spend the whole night drinking and eating in the Hundred Flower Inn.

On the second day, more rumors were spread from the prostitutes in the Hundred Flower Inn. It was said that the group successfully took down a bandit legion this time, killed thousands of men, and got nearly one million celestial stones.

This time, almost everyone believed the story. Even those Heaven Monarchs who knew the inside story grew suspicious. Did Qian Wanguan really take the men out to exterminate the bandit legion? Otherwise, why did they have such a strong smell of blood on their bodies and such strong killing aura? Many people in the city had gone through the severest trials and were most sensitive to such aura. They would never get out such strong murderous aura if they didn’t kill many men.

Yang Dong and Niu Deng didn’t take part in selling the thunder stones this time. Qian Wanguan and Big Sister Bell never told them anything. They came to Qian Wanguan right away and implied that Qian Wanguan never let them participate in such lucrative things and asked if Jiang Yi no longer trusted them.

Qian Wanguan spent some time comforting them well and went to find and report to Jiang Yi in the afternoon.

However, Jiang Yi was guarded by two Heaven Monarchs and passed on Jiang Yi’s order that he wouldn’t be disturbed except that the sky fell, and everything was left to Qian Wanguan and Feng Luan to handle by themselves. Follow current s on novelenglish.net . Fɪre

Qian Wanguan looked at Jiang Yi who was sitting cross-legged on the hilltop in a distance. His little eyes sparkled. Jiang Yi would never give such an order if there wasn’t something important. From his looks... it seemed like he was realizing some kind of mighty dao pattern.

Jiang Yi was indeed realizing dao patterns. Just the day before yesterday, he finally managed to realize a sliver of pattern from that dao pattern presence and deduce a low-tier dao pattern—the power of thunderbolts.

He refined a lot of thunder stones and was struck by lightning for hundreds of thousands of times. He had gotten a vague understanding of the power of thunderbolts a long time ago. After he divided the trace of dao pattern presence this time, he worked out a sliver of the pattern of the power of thunderbolts. Success was assured when the conditions were ripe.

Dusk fell; two Heaven Monarch guards went back. Jiang Yi still indulged in his deduction and realization. Thunder Fire wandered over at night, but Jiang Yi acted like he never noticed it.

When the Thunder Fire got close to Jiang Yi’s body, it released lightning bolt to attack him. However, his resistance to the lightning bolt had reached a horrible level. The lightning bolts surrounding his whole body, and yet he was still immersed in the realization and didn’t show any reaction. After the Thunder Fire approached him, it would be absorbed by the Fire Spirit Pearl automatically.

The day broke; two Heaven Monarchs quickly came here to stand guard. Just like this, days passed. After seven days, Jiang Yi, at last, opened his eyes slowly.

Buzz!

The instance his eyes opened, electricity appeared around his body and flashed deep in his eyes, causing the souls of the two Heaven Monarchs nearby to tremble. At this moment, they both felt that Jiang Yi was not a man, but a thunder god!

“Realization of the power of thunderbolts dao pattern is successful!”

Jiang Yi looked very thrilled. Being able to realize one dao pattern suggested that he would be able to realize the second, the third... and the ninth. After he integrated all the dao patterns together, he would be able to realize a mighty upper-tier dao pattern.
