Chapter 1499: Paying the Price for Destroying His Reputation
They obtained a total of a million battle rits for the mission this ti. A total of one hundred and forty people from the Fire Phoenix Army went out on a mission this ti. Even if Qi Qingchen gave up her share, and they distributed the battle rits equally among the rest, each person would only get six or seven thousand battle rits. As the Inspector-General, Jiang Yi could get a bit more. However, he would not get as much as fifty thousand battle rits.
Di Ling’er smiled sweetly and explained, “This is what everyone wants to do. With you here, we don’t have to make use of our Demon-Buster Elixirs. If we had to obtain more Demon-Buster Elixirs in the future, we would have to spend much more battle rits. Moreover, you put in a lot of effort this ti. I’m giving you my share of the battle rits as well. I have no use for them anyway.”
“Uh!”
Jiang Yi was slightly astonished. His expression darkened as he said, “Young Mistress Ling’er, you cannot do this. You need battle rits to cultivate as well. Why are you giving them to ?”
“Hehe!”
Di Ling’er stuck out her pink tongue and answered cheekily, “My grandfather is the lord of the General Pavilion. It would be too easy for to obtain battle rits. What’s more, I am already of a high-enough cultivation level. I am just lacking in practical battle experience. I ca here this ti to train in that area, just like Young Mistress Qingchen. Jiang Yi, when you achieve teoric success in the future, you can return the battle rits to .”
“Alright then!”
Jiang Yi shrugged his shoulders helplessly, gazing at Di Ling’er gratefully. Then, he stood up and said, “Get so rest. I’m going to the Mystical Abilities Pavilion to look for more information on the Divine Sound Laws.”
“Divine Sound Laws?”
Di Ling’er’s eyes brightened. “I’ll co with you. You know that I’ve been training in the Divine Sound Laws. I know a bit about this!”
“That’s right!”
It suddenly dawned on Jiang Yi. Di Ling’er’s realization of the Divine Sound Laws was already very deep; she was a bit stronger than he was. It only seed like he was more powerful because he had rged the heavenly springs rhythm into his technique. Di Ling’er ca from a great family clan; she must be familiar with the Divine Sound Laws.
He quickly asked her, “Young Mistress Ling’er, do you know what technique can channel sound in a certain direction? In other words, how can I make it so that only those who I want to hear it would hear the sound?”
“Uh...”
Di Ling’er was highly intelligent. If she was not, she would not have achieved such a high cultivation level at such a young age. There were many young masters and young mistresses who had limitless resources at their fingertips—but without natural talent, they would not be able to advance so quickly. With just one question from Jiang Yi, Di Ling’er understood. Her eyes lit up as she exclaid, “Jiang Yi, you want to use the Divine Sound Laws to fight the Netherworld Race?”
“That’s right!”
Jiang Yi nodded and said, “Young Mistress Ling’er, do you have any ideas?”
“It’s actually not that difficult to channel sound!” Di Ling’er’s words caused Jiang Yi’s heart to imdiately stabilize. Yet, her next few sentences disappointed him once again. “However, while the Netherworld Race’s living beings have soul spirits, they are different from the human race. Living beings from the Netherworld Realm were all born out of Netherworld Aura. They don’t have thoughts, feelings, desires, or resentnt like humans. These are exactly what the Divine Sound Laws make use of to affect enemies.
“Throughout history, many cultivators of the Divine Sound Laws have thought of various thods to fight the Netherworld Realm beings using this technique, but they had very little impact. Your Divine Sound nomological mystical abilities are special, but I don’t know if you will be able to affect them.”
“So it is like this...”
Jiang Yi looked sorrowful. Then, he felt that it was insipid. After pondering for a mont, he said, “I’m still going to check it out and study it for a while. If it wouldn’t work, I’ll let it go.”
“En, go and give it a shot. If it works, this will be a killer move for sure.”
Di Ling’er looked very excited. It was almost like she was talking about her own mystical abilities. She stood by Jiang Yi’s side, offering unwavering support, partly because of the divine tune that Jiang Yi played before. She loved Divine Sound nomological mystical abilities, and Jiang Yi seed more proficient than she was in this area. Naturally, she admired and respected him.
The three of them quickly left the castle and headed towards the General Pavilion. The General Pavilion’s castle was very big. There were big and small halls alike inside. Jiang Yi guessed there were close to two thousand of them in total. The Mystical Abilities Pavilion was on the second floor, inside a side hall.
The three of them entered the General Pavilion and imdiately caught the attention of many other people. Most of these people were gazing at Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi was now famous throughout the Demon-Buster Valley; very few people did not know who he was. Of course... these gazes were not friendly at all. Instead, many people looked at him with evident animosity.
Jiang Yi did not pay any attention to them. Instead, he headed straight for the second floor and located the Mystical Abilities Pavilion shortly.
The hall was very big. Inside, there were five smaller halls, each one of them containing rows and rows of bookshelves. There were books on all sorts of mystical abilities, much like the one in Demon-Killing Pavilion. Many of these books were hand-copied and had restrictions on them.
Jiang Yi was prepared to ask the manager inside about where the books on Divine Sound Laws and nomological mystical abilities were located. An elderly man dressed in black robes suddenly walked stiffly towards them and said, “I’m sorry, three of you. The Mystical Abilities Pavilion has been going through reorganization recently. We are not selling any of the books on mystical abilities for now. Co back again another ti!”
“En?”
Jiang Yi’s gaze hardened. He had seen people walk out from this place just monts ago, holding boxes of books. Yet, the mont he walked in, they were going through reorganization? You Tianni was really good at playing tricks on him. He was trying to force them into a corner.
Di Ling’er saw through this as well. Her expression beca angry as she pointed to the door. “How co so many people could buy those books before? Why can’t we do the sa?”
“I don’t know about that!”
The manager shrugged his shoulders coolly. “I just received orders from Commander Cheng. If you have any questions or doubts, you can look for him to clarify them.”
“Alright!”
Jiang Yi saw that Di Ling’er wanted to argue so more, but he waved his hand. “Young Mistress Ling’er, what’s the point in talking to this manager? Let’s go.”
Once he finished speaking, Jiang Yi grabbed Di Ling’er’s hand and walked out. Once they got out of the side hall, they walked down the stairs. Still angry, Di Ling’er said, “No way, I have to look for Commander Cheng to argue things out. They are obviously bullying us.”
“Keke!”
Jiang Yi laughed bitterly and replied, “Young Mistress Ling’er, you co from a great family clan, and you don’t know what it is like in the outside world. You can try reasoning with these old oilbags day and night, and you might even find loopholes in their argunts. However, even if you report this to the three chief commanders, there would not be any use. Just wait. There will be many bad things coming our way. We are paying the price for destroying You Tianni’s reputation.”
Di Ling’er pouted and followed Jiang Yi out of the castle without saying another word. When they got outside, she finally cald down. Turning to him, she said, “Forget it, if they don’t want to sell the books to us, I don’t care for them anymore. Jiang Yi, wait here. I am going to send soone to tell Grandfather, asking him to send books like these to us at once.”
“This...”
Jiang Yi hesitated. He had to repay favors that he owed to others. However, when he realized that there was no other way he could resolve this problem, he nodded and said, “I’ll have to trouble Young Mistress Ling’er and the General Pavilion Lord, then.”
“What trouble is there? Let’s go, we’ll go back. We will never co to Mystical Abilities Pavilion again.”
Di Ling’er stalked off, and Jiang Yi had no choice but to follow suit. After walking halfway, Di Ling’er left on her own. Jiang Yi guessed that she was going to ask Di Qianjun to send a ssage back to Di Ming.
Jiang Yi led the Poison Spirit back to take a rest. After the battle, he was completely exhausted. At first, Jiang Yi wanted to go to the ten-thousand-tis secret cultivation room, but after what just happened, he had lost the motivation to do so. What’s more, he guessed that Di Ling’er’s book on mystical abilities would be delivered soon enough. It would be much better if he just went to take a nap.
He slept for almost a day. When Jiang Yi woke up, he felt refreshed. The Poison Spirit sensed that he had woken up and imdiately ca to report updates. Di Ling’er’s technique book had not arrived. Instead, soone special ca to visit Jiang Yi: Yi Buhui. He had been waiting in the living room all this ti as well.
“Hasn’t he been locked up for a month? Did he get released early?”
Jiang Yi beca suspicious. This man was considered his cousin, but he did not know what he was doing here. Could there be news about Yi Piaopiao?
