Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The Sky Thunder City was very busy this night. All the martial artists that went to the Thunder Mountains returned. However, instead of going home, many stayed in the city plaza, and a lot of Heaven Monarchs went straight to the City Lord Mansion.

Shh-shh-shh!

A group of men came from the west of the city. Martial artists that gathered at the periphery of the city plaza instantly rose up fearfully. They greeted deferentially, "Chief Jiang!"

Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+

Countless people looked over, and their eyes brightened when they saw a handsome young man among the crowd. They looked either admired, envious, or bitter. However, as the young man walked past, everyone looked extremely humble and shouted uniformly, "Chief Jiang!"

Jiang Yi went forward silently and turned a blind eye at those groveling smiling faces. He remembered clearly the way that these people looked at him and ridiculed him when he entered the city on the first day. Of course, he had no intention to pursue the matter. He only felt a bit disgusted at them.

Qian w.a.n.guan followed Jiang Yi. His breathing was a bit short of breath, but he kept his chubby head up high. Many who greeted him were Vajra Realm martial experts; Jiang Yi could ignore them. However, he never saw so many martial experts before, and naturally, he felt a little nervous and excited.

"Chief Jiang!"

Entering the City Lord Mansion, Jiang Yi heard reverent shouts of many martial artists again. Jiang Yi glanced at them and nodded slightly. They were Heaven Monarch martial artists; all the chiefs had their own Heaven Monarch martial artists. They should be welcoming him.

Qian w.a.n.guan's breathing got even faster. His fat body trembled slightly. He refined the soul spirit dao pattern shard and reached the Vajra Realm, he would detect these men's abilities. With dozens of Heaven Monarch Realm martial artists warmly welcoming them, he was doing okay as long as his legs weren't quaking.

"Ke-Ke!"

Jiang Yi sensed the tension that Qian w.a.n.guan felt. He smiled softly and grabbed Qian w.a.n.guan's shoulders, striding forward. Qian w.a.n.guan's body stiffened; he felt the eyes that were fixed on him. Suddenly, he wanted to cry for no reason. However, his breathing slowly calmed down, and he straightened his back and marched together with Jiang Yi.

At this moment, he felt more powerful than ever. Jiang Yi extended a hand towards him, which clearly meant: 'You are my brother; I will always protect you'. Qian w.a.n.guan felt fearless now.

They walked into the Hundred Flower Inn together. There were many people; those who were supposed to be here were all here. Even Brother Dong, who seldom got involved in the dispute between chiefs, showed up. Only Big Sister Bell was not here.

Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+

Everyone that was sitting inside stood up instantly. Even Chief Leng, who sat at the center, rose up but with no smile. Chief Li said with a smile from a distance, "Chief Jiang, you're late. You should drink three cups of wine as punishment."

"Hahaha!"

Jiang Yi laughed loudly and glanced at the chiefs and their subordinates. He cupped his hands and said, "Everyone, I am sorry to keep you waiting as I needed a longer time to heal from the wounds that Chief Leng inflicted on me. Let me introduce my brother, Qian w.a.n.guan, to you. w.a.n.guan, greet the chiefs."

Qian w.a.n.guan was extremely nervous on the inside but appeared abnormally calm on the surface. He cupped his hands at everyone and said, "Greetings to all the chiefs."

Niu Deng peeped at the inarticulate middle-aged man seated second on the left and whispered to Jiang Yi, "Chief Jiang, that's Brother Dong."

"Greetings to Brother Dong!" Jiang Yi smiled and cupped his hands. "I've heard a great deal about Brother Dong. Jiang Yi has been looking forward to meeting you for a long time."

The inarticulate middle-aged man smiled faintly and cupped his hands, saying, "Chief Jiang is very polite. I admire Chief Jiang very much, too."

Jiang Yi marched straight to the main seat in the center with Qian w.a.n.guan. He sat down blatantly. Qian w.a.n.guan didn't dare to have a seat, but Jiang Yi pointed at the seat beside him to let him sit down.

Niu Deng waved his hands, and many maidservants came in with good wine and delicious food. Jiang Yi held up a cup of wine and laughed loudly. "Thank everyone for meeting with me. Come, the first toast is to everyone here!"

Today's banquet was rather formal, and so there was no prost.i.tute around. Only a few singing girls were playing the instruments quietly. The main hall was very s.p.a.cious. Niu Deng placed a golden stage in the center and two rows of golden tables along the sides of the stage. Behind them, there were many square wooden tables. More than half of the Heaven Monarch martial artists in the Sky Thunder City came here. When Jiang Yi gave the order, everyone held up their cups and drank up the wine. Jiang Yi's men shouted loudly. The atmosphere instantly turned friendly.

"The second toast!"

After filling up the cup again, Jiang Yi looked at Chief Leng and said politely, "Thanks, Chief Leng for sparing my life. Hope that you will go easy on me."

A smile immediately appeared on Chief Leng's previously sullen face. Jiang Yi had shown him enough respect. He thought that Jiang Yi was going to humiliate and mock him on today's banquet. Never did he expect that Jiang Yi behaved so deferentially since the beginning.

Right now, he quickly stood up and said, "Chief Jiang is too humble. Chief Jiang is extremely mighty and extraordinarily talented. You will definitely be at the top in a few years. I'll hope for Chief Jiang to go easy on me instead."

"Chief Leng, please don't praise me excessively."

Jiang Yi smiled in all humility. He held the wine up again and looked at Chief Li and the rest, he laughed loudly and said, "The third toast is to Chief Li, Chief Ying, Brother Dong, Chief Hei, and Brother Hu. If I do something wrong in the future, I humbly beg for your forgiveness and advice…"

The group quickly stood up. They appeared to be smiling, but deep down, everyone was cursing. Who dared to advise Chief Jiang? Chief Leng and Chief Heng tried to teach him a lesson, but what happened to them in the end? Of course, since Jiang Yi had put himself in such a low position, the crowd still felt that they were granted much dignity and respect and were less hostile to Jiang Yi.

After a few drinks, the moods were lightened up by a lot. Jiang Yi brought up the main business. He coughed lightly to draw everyone's attention, and then he said solemnly, "Well, after I went back, something occurred to me; and I want to discuss it with you. Brother Ba Dao, Chief Long, and Chief Heng had unfortunately pa.s.sed away, leaving three vacancies and many of their subordinates without leaders. Although many people suggest that they want to follow me, I am still young; and people may not be convinced. Thus, I politely declined many people. I only wish for 1,000 men and one Thunder Mountain. The rest is up to everyone; how about this?"

"Uh…"

After Jiang Yi finished his speech, everyone present whispered in surprise. Chief Leng and the rest had their eyes full of shock.

Jiang Yi was so generous?!

After the grand victory, he didn't seize the opportunity to control more territory but took the initiative to make concessions instead. There were about 7,000 subordinates in total that worked for Brother Ba Dao, Chief Long, and Chief Heng. The number of thunder stones that these men could hand in every month was not a small number. No one would dare to disagree even if Jiang Yi wanted to keep all to himself.

Chief Li, Smiling Tiger Chief Ying, and the others looked at one another. When they turned to Jiang Yi again, they looked much softer as he was capable and respectful. Who didn't like a junior like him?

Instantly, Chief Li said, "Chief Jiang is wrong. You are extremely powerful, and everyone has witnessed your virtuous conduct. If the old folks like us are convinced, who dares to differ? In my opinion, you should lead at least 5,000 men as the more competent one should be awarded more. We are old now and can't take in so many people…"

Chief Ying quickly added on and said, "That's right, that's right. Chief Jiang is known for your moral character and ability. You will be capable of leading 10,000 men, let alone several thousand."

Jiang Yi saw that the Smiling Tiger was going to speak again, he waved imperiously and said, "Everyone, please don't say anything further. I have made up my mind. I only want 1,000 men and one Thunder Mountain. I don't want to care for the rest. You can discuss and work out a solution. Let's talk about these matters later and drink now."

"Let's have a toast!"

Chief Li and the others all held up their cups, even Chief Leng let out a smile on his face. Jiang Yi threw away a big cake for the rest to split. Everyone would get their share and was happy. The atmosphere at the banquet got livelier and more harmonious.
