Chapter 121: Striking It Rich!

“You’re the best, Old Ginger!” Nezha shouted excitedly at Jiang Yuan.

“Go, Pikachu. It would be best if you tore Peach Mountain apart,” Jiang Yuan said with a smile.

In any case, he had already planned to help Nezha break through to the Golden Immortal Realm. Whether it happened sooner or later made no difference. Besides, Nezha had now developed a certain dependence on him.

“What is Pikachu?” Nezha asked curiously.

“Don’t worry about what it is. Go dismantle the mountain first,” Jiang Yuan said indifferently.

“Don’t worry, Old Ginger. I guarantee I’ll tear Peach Mountain apart until not a scrap remains!” Nezha declared excitedly.

He had only just broken through and was itching for somewhere to vent his overflowing strength.

With that, Nezha invoked his Three Heads and Six Arms divine ability and charged toward the summit once more. He intended to dismantle the mountain from the top down.

Seeing Yang Jian’s barely restrained eagerness, Jiang Yuan smiled. “I know you’re desperate to rescue your mother. You go as well. Don’t kill these Golden Crows.”

“Leave them for me to deal with.”

Yang Jian nodded, unusually animated. At last, he would be able to see his mother again!

Unlike Nezha, he did not rush toward the mountaintop. Instead, he searched for an entrance into Peach Mountain at its foot.

After all, his mother was imprisoned inside the mountain.

“Zhang Kui, you go too. Just keep those Golden Crows occupied. Though those beasts are Golden Immortals, their intelligence is nothing special.”

“They’re still young, so holding them back will be enough,” Jiang Yuan instructed Zhang Kui.

Jiang Yuan intended to deal with the juvenile Golden Crows himself.

If he casually cut down a few of them, each one would be a Golden Immortal—and each one would bring him a substantial number of Tyrant Points.

“My king, is keeping them occupied truly enough? Why don’t I go and kill those beasts?” Gao Lanying asked Jiang Yuan curiously.

Since they had even killed the Celestial Clan’s Eighth Elder, there was no reason to spare a few beasts.

Gao Lanying was not a particularly mild-tempered woman. Otherwise, Zhang Kui would not have been so afraid of her.

Yet she was also a woman of considerable wisdom.

The two men before her had not volunteered to kill the Golden Crows themselves because she wanted to see what her king intended.

Now that his position was clear, she no longer needed to hesitate.

Jiang Yuan shook his head. “I’m waiting for someone. With such a commotion at Peach Mountain, it’s impossible that no one from the Celestial Clan will come.”

“And what difference will it make when they arrive?” Gao Lanying asked, puzzled.

“Kill the one who comes first, then kill the Golden Crows,” Jiang Yuan said calmly.

If nothing went wrong, the next member of the Celestial Clan to arrive should be a Grand Golden Immortal.

That was also why Jiang Yuan had not sent Gao Lanying up.

He did not know how powerful her magic was. If she could not defeat the newcomer, it would be awkward.

Then he would never get to meet the Celestial Emperor.

And how could he provoke the man if he never met him?

Everything unfolded just as Jiang Yuan had expected. An elderly Celestial Clan man with a head of white hair soon arrived with a large contingent of Celestial clansmen.

“Who dares cause trouble in the territory of my Celestial Clan?” a majestic roar rang out.

Jiang Yuan was speechless. Why did every member of the Celestial Clan have exactly the same attitude?

Did they truly believe no one would dare make trouble in their territory?

“It was I who came to cause trouble for your Celestial Clan. Is there a problem?” Jiang Yuan said indifferently as he looked at the old man.

“You are the Human Sovereign?” Yun Zang recognized Jiang Yuan at a glance.

“Your eyesight is better than those two fellows before you,” Jiang Yuan said with a smile.

“What brings you to the Celestial Clan?” Yun Zang asked calmly.

He did not particularly care about the deaths of Yun Yi and his son.

The deaths of one or two Golden Immortals and True Immortals would not damage the Celestial Clan’s foundations. There were ten Golden Crow youths at Golden Immortal level on Peach Mountain alone. The Celestial Clan was vast and powerful; such losses were insignificant.

“I’ve come to rescue someone from your Celestial Clan,” Jiang Yuan replied evenly.

Yun Zang glanced at Jiang Yuan, then looked toward Nezha, who was repeatedly smashing Peach Mountain with his Fire-Tipped Spear. He immediately understood whom Jiang Yuan intended to rescue.

The only member of the Celestial Clan who had ties to humanity and had been imprisoned by the clan was the Third Princess, Yun Hua.

“The Human Sovereign wishes to rescue the Third Princess?” Yun Zang asked.

He was somewhat courteous toward Jiang Yuan. After all, he had witnessed the prosperity of the human race, and the Human Sovereign was someone who deserved a measure of respect.

Still, Jiang Yuan himself was not yet worthy of much fear.

Yun Zang revered only the title of Human Sovereign—not Jiang Yuan personally.

“Precisely,” Jiang Yuan said, utterly composed.

In Yun Zang’s eyes, Jiang Yuan seemed like a reckless young fool, charging straight into Celestial Clan territory as though he had no idea of the clan’s foundations.

“Why didn’t you have someone announce your arrival outside the barrier?” Yun Zang asked.

“Announce my arrival? Was there anyone outside your barrier to receive such a message? Whom was I supposed to notify? Since no one was there, I had no choice but to come myself.” Jiang Yuan found the question rather amusing.

“Since you refuse to follow the rules, you can forget about taking the Third Princess away,” Yun Zang said indifferently.

Jiang Yuan raised the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand and smiled faintly. “That is not for you to decide. The Celestial Emperor might have the authority to say such things here, but you have no right to say them to me.”

“Then we shall see whether the Human Sovereign possesses the ability to back up his words!” Yun Zang sneered.

With that, he shot toward Jiang Yuan. Since reason had failed, everything would now be decided by strength.

Only when Yun Zang drew near did Jiang Yuan finally see his system information.

Character: Yun Zang
Position and Title: Fourth Elder of the Celestial Clan
Realm: Grand Golden Immortal
Possessions: White Rainbow Sword, Azure Cloud Gourd, Origin-Reaching Staff
Cultivation Manual: Record of Solar Spirit
Loyalty: 0
Favorability: 0
Tyrant Points Obtainable: 1,000

The moment Jiang Yuan saw the Tyrant Points associated with Yun Zang, his eyes lit up.

A thousand Tyrant Points!

As expected of a Grand Golden Immortal.

Jiang Yuan could not help feeling excited. Even if he accomplished nothing else, killing Yun Zang would make this trip worthwhile.

This would be the first time he had ever killed a Grand Golden Immortal.

The thought stirred him deeply. After all, it was his first.

Jiang Yuan turned to Gao Lanying, who had yet to make a move, and asked, “You are both Grand Golden Immortals. Madam Zhang only recently advanced to this realm. Are you confident?”

“If not, I can find another way.”

Gao Lanying replied confidently, “There is no need for Your Majesty to concern himself with this. I truly cultivated my way to the pinnacle of the Golden Immortal Realm. I am not comparable to someone like him, whose realm was merely piled up through the use of resources.”

Only then did Jiang Yuan relax and nod. “Good.”

Otherwise, he would have to buy more medicine from that damned system. He wondered how expensive a potion effective against a Grand Golden Immortal would be.

The damned system would probably fleece him mercilessly once again.

When it came to extorting him, the system never showed the slightest hesitation.

Jiang Yuan wondered whether he could drug the Celestial Emperor when the man arrived. But that idea was still somewhat unrealistic.

Just how long had the Celestial Emperor lived?

He was older than the history of humanity itself. Drugging him would probably be difficult.

Jiang Yuan stepped back, leaving the battlefield to Gao Lanying and Yun Zang.

As for himself, he would deal with the minor figures behind Yun Zang.

Killing all these Celestial clansmen would probably earn him a considerable number of Tyrant Points as well. The Celestial Clan was no Fiend Corpse Tribe.

It seemed he was about to make a fortune today. He might even plunder a substantial sum from the Celestial Clan.
