My Fury Will Burn The Heavens

Chapter 1424: Based on What?

The Qin Clan Head Qin Lianshan was indeed furious this time. It was mainly because this matter had spread throughout the entire Earth Emanations Domain. If the Qin Clan did not make an example out of Jiang Yi, people would start belittling them. For a great family clan, what mattered the most was its reputation. If its reputation was ruined, how could it still recruit formidable martial artists to join its ranks in the future?

The previous time, the Poison Spirit incident had made the Qin Clan lose face; the Poison Spirit had fled while the Qin Clan could not find him at all. Now, a puny little character like Jiang Yi dared to embarrass the Qin Clan? Although it was said that Jiang Yi had ties with the Ink Feather Race, Qin Lianshan did not care anymore. Even if the Ink Feather Race came to look for trouble, the Earth Emanations Sovereign would definitely step forward to protect the Qin Clan.

Qin Lianshan had been so overbearing and unreasonable today, not giving Mo Lingqiu and Di Ming any face, all to signal his intent: Jiang Yi had to die!

As expected!

Yet another two men expressed their abstentions while a third pronounced Jiang Yi guilty as well. The Earth Emanations Halls rules were simple: a motion could be passed as long as there were seven votes for it. If there were less than seven votes, the side with the most number of votes would win. As long as they decided that Jiang Yi was guilty, there was nothing left to debate; all that mattered then was Jiang Yis sentencing.

Those that abstained were all those who had bad ties with the Qin Clan. Since Qin Lianshan had seemingly gone mad, they werent prepared to go all out against him this time but had chosen to abstain instead. Most importantly, Jiang Yi was but an inconsequential person; it wasnt worth their effort to help him.

Out of the thirteen, eight had already made their decisions clear. Five had deemed Jiang Yi guilty while three had abstained. The remaining five were silent. If one more person were to find Jiang Yi guilty or abstained, there would be no way to reverse this situation.

Qin Lianshan saw that everyone had grown quiet as his gaze turned towards an elder with a goatee. That elder smiled slightly and said, Guilty!

Six votes!

Jiang Yis body shook as Xiao Hong, Di Ming, Mo Lingqius faces darkened. More than nine people had voted; only four men had not. Even if the remaining four voted not guilty, that would be meaningless.

Jiang Yis mouth also revealed a sliver of mockery. He actually laughed out loud twice and said, Alright, theres no need to continue voting. What is the point of continuing this farce? The Earth Emanations Hall is reputed to be the fairest place in the Earth Emanations Domain; it seems like I was mistaken. If you guys want to kill me, feel free to do so. After I reincarnate, I will be reborn once again!

Mo Lingqiu was expressionless while Di Ming, however, looked a little abashed. As for the other elders present, they did not reveal any emotions at all. Verbal attacks like these had no effect on them.

Was there truth and justice in this world? Might was right in this world, right?

Not guilty!

Di Ming looked at Jiang Yi with sorrow in his eyes, not bearing to see him die. Although Di Ming knew that his vote was meaningless, he still spoke ultimately.

Jiang Yis gaze looked towards Mo Lingqiu. Seeing that the latter was still keeping mum, Jiang Yi laughed a few more times as he deeply bowed towards Di Ming. He said respectfully, Many thanks to the General Pavilion Lord. I had sworn in the Divine Eagle Tribe that as long as the Demon-Killing Pavilion does not betray me, I will forever be a member of the Demon-Killing Pavilion this life and even in death! I am lucky that I had not chosen wrongly at the start! I feel proud to be a member of the Demon-Killing Pavilion.

Sigh!

Di Ming sighed softly as he shook his head and did not say anything else; he felt so much pity for Jiang Yi internally.

He had on hand some information regarding Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi had only ascended a few days ago but had managed to slaughter a Qin Clan Heaven Emanations single-handedly? He had even abducted a Qin Clan young mistress? His exponential growth was astounding while he had this amount of courage in him; who else could be like him?

There was nothing to be done nothing.

Di Ming not giving face to Qin Lianshan made the latters face darken very much. Qin Lianshan gestured impatiently as he said, Alright, could the rest vote now, please.

Seven votes were needed to decide on this matter. If no side received more than seven votes, the side with the majority of votes would win. Now that the conclusion was already known, Qin Lianshan did not want to waste any more time. Yet another elder spoke, Guilty!

Seven votes!

The remaining members including Mo Lingqiu did not need to vote anymore. Qin Lianshan stood up grandly as he said, We still need to abide by the rules; if not, anyone can kill indiscriminately in the future, anyone can be insubordinate, and anyone can kidnap others at will. I propose for Jiang Yi to be sentenced to death. If anyone has any objections, he can speak it out!

Speak it out

Qin Lianshan had already gone this far; who would dare to go against him now? Furthermore, even if someone did stand against him, if Qin Lianshan called for yet another vote and his motion received seven votes again; wouldnt the opposer be embarrassing himself?

Seeing how so many people had voted so swiftly and decisively, it went without saying that Qin Lianshan must have made many promises and given many carrots to some others. Since there was no way to turn this situation around, even Di Ming did not open his mouth. Qin Lianshan waited for a while and seeing that everyone kept mum, he nodded and said, Alright, since no one had objected and all think that Jiang Yi should pay for his crimes

I object!

At this moment, a light and breezy voice rang out in the central hall. At that moment that voice rang outbesides Jiang Yi, Xiao Hong, and Qin Yuewen; everyone else was startled, their faces full of disbelief. Jiang Yis downcast eyes suddenly lit up. As he looked at everyone elses reaction, his eyes lit up even brighter like stars.

This voice did not belong to the thirteen men. To dare to send a voice transmission here and say something so brazen in the Earth Emanations Hall, that could only mean one person: the Earth Emanations Sovereign!

Thud! Thud!

Mo Lingqiu led everyone, and besides Jiutian Wu and Di Ming, everyone else genuflected. Jiutian Wu and Di Ming also bowed slightly. Xiao Hong and Qin Yuewen were scared out of their wits as they hurriedly knelt in fear. Jiang Yi paused for a while but ultimately did not kneel but bowed deeply.

Sovereign!

Mo Lingqiu shouted respectfully. He then said seriously, Please give your instructions!

It is but a small misunderstanding!

That old voice once again floated by. This matter had actually spread throughout the Earth Emanations Domain? Arent you people ashamed of yourselves? All are dismissed!

Yes!

Mo Lingqiu and the others shouted in unison. Even Qin Lianshan respectfully bowed again and did not dare to utter another word or reveal his displeasure or rage. There was only a sliver of shock and confusion deep in his eyes!

Everyone else had a similar look. The Earth Emanations Sovereign had termed this a small misunderstanding, and this matter was settled; no one dared to touch on this topic again. Qin Lianshan would also not dare to find fault with Jiang Yi again.

In the Earth Emanations Domain, the Earth Emanations Sovereign was the absolute overlord; no one could go against his wishes!

It was precisely so that everyone had been so stunned!

Jiang Yi was a puny character; heat mosthad some ties with Jiang Xiaonu. Why was it the Earth Emanations Sovereign was protecting him now? What was it that would make the Earth Emanations Sovereign offend the Qin Clan, a loyal follower of the Mo Clan?

Although Jiang Xiaonu was the Green Eagle Kings daughter, the problem was that the Eagle Empress and the Green Eagle King were both very unhappy with Jiang Yi. If the Green Eagle King had seen Jiang Yi previously, he would probably have killed Jiang Yi then. Hence, the Earth Emanations Sovereign was definitely not giving face to the Green Eagle King.

In that case, what was the reason?

Everyone could not understand why. At this momenthowever, everyone was starting to look at Jiang Yi differently. Jiang Yi had become an important figure in an instant; the Earth Emanations Sovereign was backing him no less.

Jiang Yi also did not understand. He had no ties with the Earth Emanations Sovereign at all; he did not even know how the Earth Emanations Sovereign looked like. However, he guessed that he was probably going to find out soon enough. At that moment, Mo Lingqiu had sent him a voice transmission: Jiang Yi, come with me. The Earth Emanations Sovereign wants to see you!

Hoo-hoo!

Jiang Yi took in a few deep breaths as he followed Mo Lingqiu into a corridor ahead, and they both disappeared from the central hall. All they left behind was a group of bewildered lords and clan heads.
