The influence almost spans over half of the Eastern Domain, what kind of a concept is this?
Impossible to estimate!
You must know the Eastern Domain consists of seven provinces and one city, yet this Thirteen Association has such great power, making it clear that the Thirteen Association mentioned by Jin Yuzhi is absolutely extraordinary.
Compared to this so-called Thirteen Association, my Dragon Soul Alliance is really insignificant.
"Sect Leader Jin, are you sure you aren’t exaggerating?" Fang Yi still had some skepticism.
Jin Yuzhi sneered: "Do you think I’m the type of person to exaggerate?"
Fang Yi probed: "Maybe you were bullied too severely, so you..."
"...so you exaggerated their strength to save face?"
"Damn you!" Jin Yuzhi flared up again: "I’ve really put up with you for too long!"
Fang Yi immediately distanced himself: "Calm down, Sect Leader Jin, it’s my fault!"
Jin Yuzhi glared hard at Fang Yi, took a couple of deep breaths as if calming her anger, then continued:
"The Thirteen Association consists of thirteen individuals, and these thirteen people are extraordinary. Some are business tycoons, others are entertainment moguls, there are underground heroes, and even sect leaders from large martial arts factions. In short, they are all top figures in various fields, and their subordinates are all exceptionally talented. In terms of both financial and human resources, they are far beyond what we can afford to provoke."
Jin Yuzhi explained a lot, meticulously informing Fang Yi about the Thirteen Association, and this was just on the surface. As for the deeper foundation and strength of the Thirteen Association, neither Jin Yuzhi nor Hua Huiyue knew fully.
Fang Yi also felt the gravity in Jin Yuzhi’s words. If this is the case, his Dragon Soul Alliance wouldn’t be enough to fill the gap, let alone help avenge them.
Fang Yi hadn’t heard of this Thirteen Association since returning to his country. He had originally thought Tianjing was the place where Xuan Cang best concealed talents, but now it’s evident other places can’t be underestimated either.
Moreover, Fang Yi profoundly felt the current stagnation in his power; even though he’s able to protect himself, trying to dominate other regions seems a bit whimsical.
For instance, when Hua Huiyue and Jin Yuzhi were bullied, he couldn’t possibly lead the Dragon Soul Alliance to confront the Thirteen Association head-on; that would be suicide.
"By the way, you haven’t told me how you got caught in a trap." Fang Yi realized the conversation had shifted and quickly brought it back.
"It was all because of that Oblivion clue. Your mother-in-law got the information and took me there. We were strangers in that place, so we relied on our status to find an informant who led us to the location of Oblivion, but..."
"But as soon as you got there, you realized you were surrounded?" Fang Yi interjected.
"Exactly, thinking about it is so infuriating. Carefully recalling, we realized our whereabouts were exposed as soon as we arrived. The middleman, including those who ambushed us, were all part of a calculated plan. Fortunately, we are Heavenly Level masters without other concerns, so we managed to escape easily."
Fang Yi nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "It seems the opponent didn’t intend to trap you intentionally."
Jin Yuzhi raised her eyebrows: "What do you mean? You think Hua Huiyue and I could escape because the opponent let us?"
Fang Yi nodded and said, "It’s possible."
Jin Yuzhi sneered: "You really underestimate me and your mother-in-law, don’t you? It’s not that the opponent was weak, but that we were strong, hence our easy escape."
Fang Yi lit another cigarette, took a couple of puffs, and fell into contemplation, slowly saying: "What you said about the Thirteen Association is indeed formidable, and there must be many Heavenly Level masters among them. Even if you are both powerful, perhaps two fists can’t beat four hands."
Jin Yuzhi’s beautiful eyes widened thoughtfully.
Fang Yi continued: "Also, when you visited Oblivion’s place, did you see Oblivion himself?"
Jin Yuzhi said, "Well..."
Fang Yi said, "Alright, I get it, you didn’t see him, right?"
Jin Yuzhi frowned and said, "How do you know what I was thinking?"
"Yes, that’s it!" Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs N()velFire.net
Fang Yi snapped his fingers and said: "You indeed got played, and it’s the kind where you got played badly."
Jin Yuzhi’s stunningly beautiful face instantly darkened, her eyes turning cold: "You seem happy seeing me and your mother-in-law get played?"
Fang Yi honestly said: "Honestly, there is a bit of schadenfreude, because both of you have always acted so high and mighty. Learning from mistakes is beneficial, isn’t it?"
"However..." Fang Yi’s tone shifted, suddenly becoming icy: "Dare to bully my mother-in-law, it’s bullying Fang Yi. I won’t let it slide!"
Jin Yuzhi immediately raised her thumb in admiration: "Well done!"
Pause, Jin Yuzhi then asked: "When do we set off?"
"Yes, sooner rather than later. Bring your people, shall we go tomorrow?" Jin Yuzhi encouraged, her face full of excitement.
Fang Yi earnestly looked at the excited Jin Yuzhi, after a while, slowly said: "Sect Leader Jin, can you have some face? You ask me to take my people, what will you do?"
Jin Yuzhi said: "I’ll cheer you on!"
Fang Yi said: "So I provide manpower, and you just cheer me on? How about you bring everyone from your Desire Sect, we go tomorrow, and I’ll join you and cheer you on, how about that?"
Fang Yi continued: "Not only will I cheer you on, I’ll give you massages and leg rubs, how about that?"
Jin Yuzhi turned her head indignantly, no longer wanting to talk to Fang Yi.
Fang Yi also didn’t feel like arguing with her any further, glanced at Hua Huiyue who was playing games, sighed, said nothing, got up, and went to the bathroom to take a shower, relaxing his entire body.
Song Wuliang and Qian’er had just finished washing the dishes, and who knows what mischief Song Wuliang was planning, pulling Qian’er out, leaving only Fang Yi, Hua Huiyue, and Jin Yuzhi in the house.
But Fang Yi didn’t want to deal with the two of them again, lest they both coaxed him into avenging them.
The revenge certainly needs to be exacted, but it must be measured!
If he impulsively rushes in, who knows how he’d die; it requires careful planning.
Fang Yi then thought of the Dragon Soul Alliance, it’s been a while since he visited, wondering how the Dragon Soul Alliance is doing now.
Thus, Fang Yi left a note and left the house.
As he closed the door and was about to leave, he suddenly paused.
He turned his head to look at the tightly closed door next to him; it was once Xia Ziqi’s home, now no one dwells there, leaving the place empty, evoking sentiment in Fang Yi’s heart.
"Ziqi, someday I’ll bring you back!" Fang Yi said in his heart.
