Chapter 1466 - Go Back On My Word

Chapter 1466: Go Back On My Word

Strange...

Countless people exchanged stares, at a loss at what was to be done. They were absolutely hoodwinked.

The Earth Emanations Sovereign had been hiding in Saint Spirit Domain secretly. He did not turn up earlier but only appeared after Jiang Yi caused big trouble there. Then, he said something exceptional and even offered to take the punishment on Jiang Yi’s behalf. Now, he was even... offering his Primordial Spiritual Treasure in exchange for Yi Piaopiao.

If the Earth Emanations Sovereign had not gone crazy, then their ears must have been broken!

Who was Yi Piaopiao?

She was the most beautiful flower in the Phantom Race, the youngest daughter of the Phantom King. She had made a huge mistake and was locked in the Eighteenth Level of the Saint Prison, being crushed. Still, the Phantom King did not strip her of her title in the royal family. Yi Piaopiao was still part of the royal family of the Phantom Race and one of the most beautiful women in Saint Spirit Domain at that. Who was the Earth Emanations Sovereign? Who was he to take Yi Piaopiao away? He was even offering to treat Yi Piaopiao as his own daughter, in exchange for a Primordial Spiritual Treasure?

What was the Primordial Spiritual Treasure?

There were only three Primordial Spiritual Treasures in the entire Earth Domain. One of them was with the Earth Emanations Sovereign, another was with the Green Eagle King, and the last was with the Wintry Sovereign. The Phantom King himself did not have any. Therefore, the Phantom King had just been testing the Earth Emanations Sovereign out earlier when he suggested it. He did not think that the Earth Emanations Sovereign would agree so quickly.

The Phantom King had been hoodwinked as well. He blinked and exchanged a meaningful look with Yi Tu. Both of them felt like something was amiss. There was a very big problem with all of this!

“Keke!”

The Earth Emanations Sovereign activated his heavenly powers, causing the golden glow around the clock to darken. He undid the spiritual connection that he had established with the clock and held it out. “I’ve already broken my spiritual connection with the Heaven Soul Clock. It’s now an item without any owner. Phantom King, if you’re willing to let her go, this Primordial Spiritual Treasure will be yours at once. As the second most powerful in the Earth Domain, you would not go back on your word, would you?”

The corners of the Earth Emanations Sovereign’s lips twisted up in a cold smile. It was almost as if everything was going according to his plan.

In reality...!

The Earth Emanations Sovereign had already planned this earlier. Everything that happened today was within his predictions. Of course... he did not expect Jiang Yi to play that divine song. It was also because of that divine song that the Earth Emanations Sovereign suddenly changed his plan.

The Earth Emanations Sovereign guessed Jiang Yi’s character. He knew that Jiang Yi would cause trouble upon arriving at the Saint Spirit Domain. What he wanted was for Jiang Yi to fall out with the Phantom Race. Otherwise, since Jiang Yi’s mother was from the Phantom Race, just one word for her would cause Jiang Yi to hop over to the Phantom Race’s side and depend on them for the rest of his life.

Jiang Yi was very important, and the Earth Emanations Sovereign knew this best. That was why he was giving up everything to keep this man by his side. As long as Jiang Yi remained close to them, the Mo Clan would benefit greatly in the future.

Every man was inherently selfish, and the Earth Emanations Sovereign was no angel. He would not have nurtured Jiang Yi into a formidable martial artist just to hand him over to the Phantom Race later. That was why he wanted to use Jiang Yi’s temper to cause conflicts between himself and the Phantom King. If the two of them fell out, and he stepped in to resolve their differences, the ending would be perfect for him.

Was it worth it to trade his Primordial Spiritual Treasure with Yi Piaopiao?

Of course!

The Earth Emanations Sovereign knew this very well. His skills were not considered very strong. Even with the Primordial Spiritual Treasure, he could not become the most powerful person in Earth Domain. Thus, even if he lost the Primordial Spiritual Treasure, the Earth Emanations Domain would not fall to others.

He was taking such a shocking gamble that Jiang Yi would one day rise. He was even willing to pay such huge costs to hang onto his position. The most important reason for all of this was the divine song that Jiang Yi had performed earlier.

The Phantom King was completely torn!

The Primordial Spiritual Treasure was a treasure of heaven and earth, produced in the Primordial Mystic Realm itself. How many Primordial Mystic realms were there in Earth Domain?

Just one!

In other words, in these hundreds of millions of years, only three Primordial Spiritual Treasures had appeared in the Primordial Mystic Realm. The Ink Feather Race, the Mo Clan, and the Qi Clan each had one of those. This Heaven Soul Clock was not obtained by the Earth Emanations Sovereign, but by the Mo Clan’s ancestors.

A Primordial Spiritual Treasure could help a family clan gain enough power to deter others. It could also improve his battles skills by about thirty percent. Perhaps if he refined the Primordial Spiritual Treasure, the Green Eagle King would not be the most powerful person in Earth Domain anymore.

There was only a difference of one place between the first and second most powerful people in Earth Domain. Yet, the difference in their reputations was like heaven and earth. If he got the Primordial Spiritual Treasure, he would even be able to hand it down to his descendants. The Phantom Race’s descendants would then reap the benefits for generations to come.

The more important a person was, the more competitive they were. At that moment, the Phantom King nearly agreed. Yi Piaopiao was his daughter, and she would remain as his daughter even in Earth Emanations Domain. If he gave one order, Yi Piaopiao would come back to him for sure. Even if she did not, so what?

Sacrificing one Yi Piaopiao could allow generations of the Phantom Race to benefit, and his battle skills to improve greatly. That was a good trade indeed. What’s more, the Earth Emanations Sovereign had said so himself: he would treat Yi Piaopiao like his own daughter if he was allowed to take her back to the Earth Emanations Domain.

“Majesty Father!”

Yi Tu sent a voice transmission to the Phantom King, causing him to jump in shock. What Yi Tu said next made the Phantom King hesitate as well. “There is something wrong with Jiang Yi’s identity. He might well be... Piaopiao’s son!”

“Piaopiao’s son?”

The Phantom King recalled that Qi Qingchen, Jiang Yi, and Di Ling’er had snuck into the Eighteenth Level of the Saint Prison just the night before. At the time, he thought that Qi Qingchen had been the one who wanted to visit Yi Piaopiao. Now, he realized that there was a problem: Jiang Yi’s expression the previous night really looked strange.

“If you can give me one person, I can promise that this brat will never set foot in Saint Spirit Domain again, much less will he make you his enemy.”

He recalled what the Earth Emanations Sovereign said and the way Jiang Yi treated the Phantom Race as his own enemy. He had found it strange at first. Wasn’t it just the championship title for the Wen Fight? Could Jiang Yi afford to offend the Phantom Race by announcing that they were his enemies? If there wasn’t something wrong with Jiang Yi’s head, then he must have been looking to die!

That’s right!

There was also Yi Piaopiao in the Saint Spirit Mountain. Others may not have known, but the Phantom King knew this very well: the restrictions of Saint Spirit Mountain were flashing nonstop because Yi Piaopiao was attacking them!

The Phantom King immediately turned to glare at Jiang Yi. He scanned him from head to toe and found that he did indeed resemble Yi Piaopiao in some way. The more he looked at him, the more alike they looked. At that moment, there was no anger in his heart at all. He did not even feel the urge to kill Jiang Yi. Instead, a complicated look appeared on his face.

“Phantom King, you really cannot kill this man, or you will regret it for the rest of your life!”

Now, what the Earth Emanations Sovereign said when he first appeared was making more and more sense to the Phantom King. The hidden meaning was becoming clearer. He turned to the Earth Emanations Sovereign and sent a voice transmission: “You knew of Jiang Yi’s identity from the start? You did this on purpose, didn’t you?”

The Earth Emanations Sovereign smiled and sent a voice transmission in reply: “Even if I brought Jiang Yi here and made his identity clear, would you have let her go?”

The Phantom King fell silent once again. If the Earth Emanations Sovereign had brought Jiang Yi here and asked him to let Yi Piaopiao go from the beginning, given his temper, he would not have released her. Instead, he probably would have killed Jiang Yi in the heat of the moment.

The Phantom King suddenly began to regret his actions. He regretted causing the relationship between him and Jiang Yi to sour to this stage. He heard Jiang Yi’s ‘divine song’ and could decipher the endless pining and endless pain in the melody. He could tell that Jiang Yi loved Yi Piaopiao deeply. Humans were not like plants; how could they be emotionless?

Had he almost killed his own beloved grandson earlier? If he really did, Yi Piaopiao would surely kill herself once she received the news. Then, the ending would be him—a white-haired man—sending off his daughter, a black-haired woman. The Phantom King’s heart was racing. He did not know what to do now.

Grandson? What kind of grandson is he? He brings shame to my Phantom Race! The thought flashed across the Phantom Race’s head, and fury immediately filled his heart. Yet, he did not have the heart to kill him.

Perhaps it was because the word ‘grandson’ was too impressive, or perhaps it was because the Earth Emanations Sovereign had made such a big deal out of Jiang Yi, causing the Phantom King to genuinely see Jiang Yi as an important character and not... a bastard child that Yi Piaopiao had with a mortal.

The Earth Emanations Sovereign watched as the Phantom King’s face turned green and then pale. He watched as the Phantom King looked at Jiang Yi then at the Saint Spirit Mountain. He watched as the Phantom King’s expression turned from fury to regret. Then, he discovered that something was amiss. Immediately, he said, “Hey, hey, Phantom King, you’re the sovereign of the Saint Spirit Domain, and the second most powerful man in Earth Domain. You’re not going back on your word, are you? Are you going to let her go or not? Speak!”

“I won’t!”

The Phantom King’s cool gaze landed on the Earth Emanations Sovereign. His face trembled as he said, “I am going to go back on my word today. So what? If you’re not happy about it, you can fight me!”
