Clang-clang!
Dozens of Vajra Realm soldiers at the back all drew out their standard battle sabers, which were revolving with radiance, which were obviously saint artifacts. Sin Island was truly rich and overbearing, even their ordinary soldiers were using saint artifacts. When thinking about it, it was logically for 2000 celestial stones per entry, and they were exchanging saint artifacts for 500 celestial stones. It was imaginable how wealthy the clans in Sin Island were.
All the soldiers locked their killing aura onto Jiang Yi and his two members. Although Feng Luan and the Golden Flood Dragon were of the Heaven Monarch Realm, they didn’t even bother. Jiang Yi was confident that he could kill all these people, but what would come next? Was he going to use the Heaven Evasion and escape? If he was to lose this shelter at Sin Island, where else could he go?
He had no choice but to obediently take out the Thearch Palace and transmit a message for everyone to stop cultivating. He then teleported everyone out one by one.
“Young Master!”
Once Jiang Xiaonu was out, her gorgeous eyes immediately glanced at Jiang Yi while Jiang Yi immediately grabbed on her arm, indicating for her to stay silent. Qing Yu, Feng Luan, and the Golden Flood Dragon held onto Yun Fei and the others to prevent them from falling into the sea. Everyone looked in front nervously and didn’t understand what was happening.
“A total of nine, it is correct!”
After Lu Fei took a glance, he nodded with satisfaction and spoke to the Heaven Monarch at the Sky Thunder Island, “Lu Di, I will hand them to you! All of you, listen up. Listen to Commander Lu Di obediently, and after serving for one year, you will have the authority to walk freely in the Gods Bestow Tribe. All those discovered to be walking around the tribe without the tribe’s token would be executed.”
Lu Fei turned into the light as he flew back. Commander Lu Di swept a glance at Jiang Yi’s group and spoke in a hostile tone, “All of you, get down.”
Commander Lu Di descended to a small plaza in front of the castle first. Jiang Yi then gave everyone an eye signal to follow quietly. Everyone stopped looking around and didn’t dare to extend out their divine senses.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Thunderbolts constantly struck at the island, but it was still rather far away, which was several thousand miles from here. In this place, apart from the small castle, there was nothing else apart from the wilderness. There weren’t any flowers or plants apart from the wild and mountainous terrain, which extended out into the distance endlessly.
“Everyone, stop there!”
After flying down to the small plaza in front of the castle, Commander Lu Di took a quick glance and yelled out coldly. A bayonet suddenly appeared in his hand while his hand was radiating with essence force. He explained with frustration, “All of you wants to join the Gods Bestow Tribe and are willing to serve for one year. Hence, you are now the slaves of the tribe. According to the tribe rules... your foreheads will be marked with the slave mark, and after you finish your conditions, the mark can be removed. You will then obtain the tribe’s token, and you can travel anywhere within the tribe. All of you stay still; otherwise, don’t blame this Commander for carelessly chopping down your heads.”
After Commander Lu Di explained, the bayonet lit up with lit and shot out a green essence force, which was aiming at Jiang Yi’s forehead.
“Young Master!”
“Young Master!”
Feng Luan and the others were startled, and Jiang Xiaonu nearly transformed herself and started a fight. Jiang Yi yelled out coldly with a solemn expression, “Everyone, don’t move!”
Chi! Chi!
As the essence force flashed by and struck onto Jiang Yi’s forehead, he felt a sting and took two steps back, but it wasn’t bleeding. There was a word ‘slave’ that appeared on his forehead. The wording was very clear, and it was emitting a unique aura presence, which allowed anyone to casually sense that the wording was different.
“Slave...”
Jiang Yi laughed bitterly and found out that there was nothing special apart from the additional word on his forehead. He nodded to Feng Luan and the others. They didn’t dare to make any noise or move.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Lu Di quickly shot out several green essence forces and marked everyone’s forehead with a large ‘slave’ wording. Everyone felt extremely awkward and humiliated. The Yazi Beast and the Golden Flood Dragon didn’t mind as they were already spirit beasts and slaves. There wasn’t any difference with an additional slave wording now.
“Alright!”
Lu Di sheathed his bayonet and turned to walk back into the castle. He then waved his hand casually and said, “Lu Tong, bring them to Sky Thunder City and tell them about the rules.”
A youth walked over. He might only be at the third stage of the Vajra Realm, but he looked at everyone with arrogance. He paused at Feng Luan and Jiang Xiaonu for a moment before he beckoned his hand and said, “Follow me!”
He soared into the sky and swaggered as he flew forward. The Thearch Palace flashed in Jiang Yi’s hand as he was preparing to put Jiang Xiaonu and the others in, but Jiang Xiaonu shook her head, indicating that she didn’t want to go in as she was worried about Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi then looked at Yun Fei and the others, and they all shook their heads in response. He had no choice but to keep the Yazi Beast and the Golden Flood Dragon inside. He then carried Qian Wanguan and Zhan Wushuang while Feng Luan and Qing Yu each carried a person as they followed Lu Tong.
“Hmph. Kid, let me give you a piece of advice.”
After Lu Tong flew for a moment, he turned around and sneered. “If I were you, I will not expose my treasures unless necessary. Exposing your treasure in the Gods Bestow Tribe is no different from asking for death!”
Jiang Yi was startled as he quickly nodded with gratitude and said, “Many thanks for the advice, your Honor.”
Lu Tong looked like he wasn’t 30 years of age yet. He nodded and suddenly transmitted a message to Jiang Yi, “Kid, I can see that you are quite smart. Let me give you another piece of advice. Without any backers in the Sky Thunder Island, you will also die very quickly. You might have two Heaven Monarchs, but if you were to be targeted by powerful slaves on the island, I guarantee that all of you will perish in less than one month. En... our Commander Lu Di is one of the top ten commanders on the Sky Thunder Island. If he is to call out to the powerful slaves on the island, your survivability will be even slimmer!”
“What does it mean?”
Jiang Yi’s brows lifted and thought if this was the so-called hidden rules? Was he hinting Jiang Yi to bribe him?
He paused for a moment and quickly replied with a transmitted message: “That is of course. Here are 1000 celestial stones. Could I trouble you to pass it over to Lord Commander? It is just a little appreciation from me.”
“Ke-Ke!”
Lu Tong mocked and said: “You have underestimated our Lu Clan. Our Lu Clan is only one of the 13 Clans of the Gods Bestow Continent. Do you think we lack celestial stones? Kid, the Commander doesn’t like celestial stones or treasures. He likes... beauties. Are these four beauties your servant girls?”
“Uh...”
Jiang Yi’s expression turned dark. Was this soldier hinting for him to give Feng Luan and the others to Commander Lu Di? Although it was a subtle hint, it nearly infuriated him. His heart flashed with killing intent as he nearly released the Massacre Intent to kill this puny Vajra Realm martial artist.
Feng Luan and Qing Yu were his women. Jiang Xiaonu might be a servant girl, but they were like siblings. Yun Fei was Zhan Wushuang’s wife and his sister-in-law.
Let alone giving them away, just the mention of it had infuriated him.
He endured the anger in his heart and replied with a transmitted message: “I am sorry, your Honor. These women are not my servant girls, and I cannot give them away!”
“Hurhur, I didn’t say anything. Let’s go.”
The soldier’s expression immediately changed as he flew forward with his face down. He didn’t take another glance at Jiang Yi and the others.
“Huff...”
Jiang Yi’s expression turned a little better. It seemed like the Lu Clan’s rules were very strict, and this soldier didn’t dare to act recklessly. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be hinting so subtly. The 13 Clans were the dictators of Sin Island, and if their clans didn’t have strict rules, that Lu Di would already have forcefully taken the women.
If the officials didn’t dare to behave recklessly, Jiang Yi felt a little confident. As for those slaves? It was hard to say who would survive this ordeal. At the same time, he didn’t believe that slaves that couldn’t even offer 2000 celestial stones would be excessively powerful.
