Chapter 328: Netherworld Forest

“I will definitely be going!”

Zhan Wushuang spoke with resolution. If such a significant event was messed up and exposed, the Divine Martial Kingdom wouldn’t be able to withstand the pressure. It would surely deal it over to the Zhan and Qian Clans, and so Zhan Wushuang was naturally worried about it. He looked at Qian Wanguan and Jiang Yi while speaking in a serious tone, “The two of you better stay put. I have so many men with me. There shouldn’t be any problem.”

“Ke-Ke!”

Qian Wanguan laughed while his small eyes were filled with radiance. “Big Brother Wushuang. Your command over the army might be much superior to me, but in terms of schemes and plots, I am definitely much better than you. If I am to go along, I guarantee that I will make the arrangements flawlessly.”

Jiang Yi waved his hand and spoke with a tyrannical tone, “Stop all the nonsense. The three of us will go. Once Ruoxue is back, we will depart immediately. Go arrange for your men to depart for the borders between the Great Xia Kingdom and the Heaven Mystics Kingdom. Ask the army to travel covertly and don’t let the scouts from the Great Xia Kingdom notice them.”

“Hehe!”

Qian Wanguan grinned and said, “The Great Xia Kingdom only has over a hundred thousand soldiers, and there aren’t many scouts either. Our army will not travel through the cities and will split into several groups, disguising themselves as bandits. Even if someone noticed them, it will not be an issue.”

“That’s good!”

Jiang Yi nodded his head while Qian Wanguan and Zhan Wushuang exchanged eye contact. They each took out a high-grade message token and started to give their orders, indicating for their troops to depart for the borders between the two kingdoms. Summer Rain City was around seven to eight days away from the Heaven Mystics Kingdom. Yun Lu, who was pampered from young, wouldn’t travel tirelessly through day and night, giving them ample time to make arrangements.

“Her Majesty has returned!”

Soon enough, there was a sound of hurried footsteps that echoed from the outside. Eunuch Liu’s voice quickly sounded out as well. Zhan Wushuang and Qian Wanguan stood up nervously while Jiang Yi was still sitting leisurely. To others, the ruler of the Great Xia Kingdom was a highly noble governor, but to him, she was just the woman he loved.

A group of eunuchs and palace maids flocked in while Su Ruoxue came in with lotus steps. Zhan Wushuang and Qian Wanguan immediately bowed and greeted, “Greets to Queen Ruoxue!”

“All of you are dismissed!”

Su Ruoxue was wearing a specially-made dragon robe, which portrayed the majestic presence of a ruler and yet retained the soft beauty of a woman. Complemented by the crown and phoenix hairpin, it made her so beautiful that no one dared to look her directly in the eye. It was most probable that every man would be in frenzy excitement to be in her presence.

“Enough!”

After the palace maids and eunuchs were dismissed, Jiang Yi immediately waved his hand and laughed. “We are not outsiders. You guys don’t have to be so prim and proper!”

Su Ruoxue laughed as well. She looked like a hundred blossoming flowers, which dazzled Zhan Wushuang and Qian Wanguan. She nodded and said, “Zhan Wushuang, Qian Wanguan. You two are Jiang Lang’s brothers, so please don’t be so punctilious. Just treat this as your home.”

Qian Wanguan silently gave a thumbs-up behind his back to Jiang Yi and grinned. “Queen Ruoxue, I feel that I am more used with addressing you as Mentor Su. Of course… I should start calling you sister-in-law!”

“Fatty Qian, you are always asking for a beating!”

Su Ruoxue’s charming face turned slightly red while she drifted into her own palace chambers. She quickly changed into an ordinary palace dress and came back out. Jiang Yi then talked to her about killing Yun Lu.

If Jiang Yi wanted to go along with Zhan Wushuang and Qian Wanguan—while receiving timely reports about Yun Lu, then he would need Su Ruoxue to coordinate with them. Su Ruoxue was the queen of Great Xia Kingdom, and there were many things that she could conveniently do covertly.

Su Ruoxue muttered for a moment after listening, causing Zhan Wushuang and Qian Wanguan to get nervous. Jiang Yi had agreed to help, but it didn’t mean that Su Ruoxue would agree, too. After all, this might implicate the Great Xia Kingdom, which was something that the Great Xia Kingdom couldn’t afford.

“Alright!”

Unexpectedly, Su Ruoxue nodded and replied with determination, “You shall depart slightly later. Leave other things to me. I guarantee that Yun Lu’s whereabouts will be reported to you as soon as there is an update. I will also help to conceal your movements.”

Zhan Wushuang and Qian Wanguan were delighted. Jiang Yi didn’t find it a surprise at all. Su Ruoxue might seem tough on the outside, but she was soft on the inside. If it was something Jiang Yi had decided in, Su Ruoxue would never object and would provide her full support.

Jiang Yi and the others casually ate some food before Jiang Yi appeased Jiang Xiaonu and the little fox. They then quickly departed.

Zhan Wushuang and Qian Wanguan brought along three thousand soldiers, and they had thrice the number of experts than the opposition. Coupled with Jiang Yi’s Massacre Intent, they would be able to slaughter the enemies like dogs. The three of them naturally didn’t feel any pressure and was very confident that they could eliminate Yun Lu and his army by the borders of the Heaven Mystics Kingdom.

The three of them departed from the palace through the underground. Jiang Yi had the Zouwu Beast and was able to travel in a straight path, which made the trip less tiring. Qian Wanguan’s strength was too weak, and if they made haste with him, it would probably tire him to death.

The Great Xia Kingdom and the Heaven Mystics Kingdom were both situated in the south of Stellarsky Continent. The Great Xia Kingdom was in the southeast while the Heaven Mystics Kingdom was in the southwest. Su Ruoxue asked someone to deactivate the underground protection while Jiang Yi rushed towards the southwest with the Zouwu Beast taking the underground route.

“Wow! Boss, your spirit beast is awesome. Its speed is truly fast, and it can travel underground like the wind.”

This was the first time Qian Wanguan was going to fight alongside with Jiang Yi, and he was rather excited. His cultivation was too low and wasn’t qualified to tame a high-tiered spirit beast, but he wasn’t willing to settle with a lower-tiered beast either. That’s why he still didn’t have any spirit beast; he was now acting like an ignorant villager who never seen the outside world. As he sat on the Zouwu Beast, he would rub the spikes and the scales from time to time and gasp with amazement.

Rustle!

There was a sound wave that suddenly came from the surface of the ground at the front. Jiang Yi’s eyes turned cold as the Fire Dragon Sword immediately appeared in his hands. Zhan Wushuang just gestured with his hand and said, “Jiang Yi, don’t be anxious. They are the secret guards from our clans!”

Qian Wanguan’s message token lit up as well. He took a look and said, “That’s right. They are the people from our clans.”

Tsk-Tsk!

Soon enough, the surface of ground broke out while two peak-stage Soul Travel Realm experts came in. They took a glance at Jiang Yi and immediately greeted with cupped hands. “Greetings to Young Master Yi and the two Young Masters!”

“En!”

Jiang Yi nodded and said, “We are going to travel for a few days. Why not sit on Big Huang, too?”

“No problem!”

One of the Soul Travel Realm guards bowed and said, “We will travel with one of us in the front and back. I will open up the path ahead, which will make things safer.”

Before Jiang Yi could reply, the two of them brandished the heaven artifact in their hands and traveled underground. The two of them were very powerful, and with the heaven artifacts, they traveled underground as though they were on flat land.

“Let’s go, Jiang Yi!”

Zhan Wushuang indicated for Jiang Yi to not bother about them. Jiang Yi nodded and continued to control the Zouwu Beast.

Buzz!

Half a day later, a token shined bright in Jiang Yi’s clothes. This was a special message token that Su Ruoxue handed over to him before they left. She would send a message every few hours, informing him of Yun Lu’s whereabouts.

Yun Lu and others were indeed traveling leisurely, resting every now and then. They would even enter a city to rest at night. Yun Lu would probably need at least ten days before reaching the borders of the two kingdoms. On the other hand—if Jiang Yi and the others made haste through day and night, they would only require around five or six days to reach the same destination.

If everything went according to plan!

On the third day, Jiang Yi received a message from Su Ruoxue. He took out a map from his Fire Spirit Pearl and pointed at a location, speaking in a soft voice, “Yun Lu and the others will surely enter the Heaven Mystics City from the Summer Water City. Shall we ambush them in the Netherworld Forest which is a thousand miles south from the Mystic Dark City in the eastern side of Heaven Mystics Kingdom?”

“Netherworld Forest?”

Zhan Wushuang and Qian Wanguan’s eyes lit up while the latter quickly nodded and said, “Boss has the same thinking as me. This Netherworld Forest should be the most ideal location. We will enter it first to scout it. If we are certain that Yun Lu is going to travel through the Netherworld Forest, we will kill him there.”
