Chapter 360: Certainly Perish

“Moo-Moo!”

Under the Netherworld Forest, a giant beast would let out a low roar from time to time as it rushed with rapid speed. Jiang Yi was seated on the front—closing his eyes to rest—while He Lao was seated at the back, recuperating.

After making haste for an entire day, they were at the borders of the Netherworld Forest and further east would be the territories of the Great Xia Kingdom. Jiang Yi was very worried about Su Ruoxue and the others, and so he had been rushing towards the Great Xia Kingdom in a straight line.

“We should be around there, right?”

After one hour, Jiang Yi opened his eyes and calculated in his mind that he should be reaching the territories of the Great Xia Kingdom. He was rather impatient to scout out some information as he wanted to know if Su Ruoxue and the others were safe.

“Big Huang, to the surface!”

After making haste for a moment more, Jiang Yi yelled out, which awakened He Lao. After recuperating for another day, his injuries were mostly recovered; and his fractured bones wouldn’t ache anymore. However, it would be difficult for him if he had to walk.

Bang!

Big Huang ascended rapidly and broke out of the surface. Jiang Yi and He Lao looked around and noticed that they were indeed in the Great Xia Kingdom’s territories. There was a large river in the nearby vicinity at this place.

“Wu River?”

He Lao took a few glances before he took out a map to take reference. He then spoke with an excited voice, “Young Master Yi, let us explore this place. There should be Mt. Lao Town here. It is the strategic point for the Qian Clan and our Zhan Clan. We can scout out some information over there.”

After Jiang Yi collaborated with the Zhan and Qian Clan to ambush Yun Lu’s army, it must have created a huge commotion; and the King of the Heaven Mystics Kingdom must be enraged. The two of them had been in the Witch God’s forbidden ground for half a month; who knew what was the situation on the outside? It was better to scout out some information first.

“Alright!”

Jiang Yi muttered for a moment before he controlled Big Huang to explore the nearby vicinity. After spending one hour, they finally found a small town under a mountain.

“That’s right! This is Mt. Lao, and our clan’s secret code is on that stone wall. Young Master Yi can just enter directly. This town is in complete control of the Qian Clan. They will not leak out our whereabouts.”

When He Lao saw an obscure symbol on the stone peaks of the mountain, he was immediately excited. He had successfully returned with Jiang Yi, and once this news traveled back to the Zhan Clan, Zhan Wushuang would definitely be ecstatic.

“Big Huang, let’s go!”

Jiang Yi believed He Lao without any suspicion and controlled Big Huang to make haste for the small town in the distance.

Swish! Swish!

Before they even got near to the town, countless martial artists emerged from the courtyard. Jiang Yi could sense the presence of two Soul Travel Realm experts, but their strengths weren’t considered strong,

“Wu-Wu!”

There was a rhythmic horn that sounded off, which caused the town to go into chaos. Many of the commoners and martial artists who rushed out from their rooms and fled towards the other exit of the town. Big Huang’s aura presence was too powerful and had shocked everyone in the town.

“Wu—Wu-Wu!”

He Lao called out towards the sky, which was one short and two long shouts. It was obviously a special signal. As soon as he called out, the town instantly yelled out with delight, “Everyone, don’t panic! It isn’t a demonic beast attack. It is our clansman.”

Swish!

Over a dozen figures rushed out of the town and saw that it was Big Huang which was ridden by Jiang Yi and He Lao. Everyone blinked their eyes with confusion and quickly realized it. Especially after they saw Jiang Yi’s blood red hair, some of them were so overwhelmed that they were trembling.

Plop! Plop!

All of them knelt on one knee and spoke in an excited voice, “Is it Lord Regent and Elder He who has arrived?”

Jiang Yi didn’t speak while He Lao nodded and spoke softly, “I am He Tieshu. Immediately put the town on lockdown. Our whereabouts must not be leaked.”

“Understood!”

The members from the Qian and the Zhan Clans were immediately ecstatic as they looked at Jiang Yi with eyes of worship and zealotry. They knew that Jiang Yi and He Lao had entered the Witch God’s forbidden ground and assumed that they were dead. They didn’t expect for the two of them to actually escape from that place? Zhan Wushuang and Qian Wanguan would send a message over every three to five days, seeking information about the two of them.

The two Soul Travel Realm experts from the Zhan and the Qian Clans guarding this place escorted Jiang Yi and He Lao into the town while the rest of the martial artists gathered and sealed up this town.

Jiang Yi withdrew the Zouwu Beast and walked straight into a large courtyard while a Zhan clansman supported He Lao in. Jiang Yi didn’t even bathe and change his clothes as he immediately inquired, “How is the situation? Is Ruoxue doing fine? What about Wushuang and Wanguan?”

One of the deacons from the Qian Clan—who defended this town—bowed with cupped hands and replied with respect, “Lord Regent. Queen Ruoxue is safe and doing fine. Our Young Clan Head and Young Master Wushuang have both safely retreated to the Great Xia Kingdom. They should currently be in Summer Rain City. The operation was very covert, and Queen Ruoxue even got someone to pretend as you. The Heaven Mystics Kingdom didn’t suspect that it was you who did it.”

“Huuu…”

Jiang Yi and He Lao looked at each other, relaxing their tensed-up hearts. The Zhan Clan’s deacon bowed with cupped hands and reported. “The Heaven Mystics Kingdom was suspicious of our Zhan Clan and had sent men to investigate in the Great Xia Kingdom for a long time. They even activated their scouts in the Divine Martial Kingdom and captured many of our clan’s scouts. Fortunately, our Clan head and Master Qian planned this meticulously and had only used the hidden forces of our clans, and those accountable members were all unmoved. Hence, we determined that the Heaven Mystics Kingdom couldn’t guess who the mastermind was.”

“So what if they can guess it? Without any evidence, what can they do?”

He Lao sneered. They had done this perfectly, and there weren’t any pieces of evidence. Zhan Wushuang had swept the entire battlefield detailedly, and there shouldn’t be any pieces of evidence left that would be in the hands of the Heaven Mystics Kingdom.

He Lao negotiated with Jiang Yi before he gave his orders. “Immediately send a message to Young Clan Head and Young Master Qian. Tell them we have returned safely, but ask them to not make any moves. Wait for Young Master Yi to return to Summer Rain City first.”

The deacon from Qian Clan immediately went to arrange for the sending of the message. He Lao then turned to speak with Jiang Yi, “Young Master Yi, rest for a day or two first. You must be tired out during this period of time. Once my leg is fully recovered, I will be able to return to the Summer Rain City with you.”

“Alright then!”

Jiang Yi felt his scraggly beard and smelly body before he nodded. It was fine since he knew that Su Ruoxue and the others had made proper arrangements. The Qian clansman would immediately send a message back, which would put everyone at ease. There wasn’t much difference if he was to return earlier or later by a day, and he was indeed very tired and should take some proper rest.

He stood up walked towards the inner courtyard. After taking a good bath, he ate a sumptuous meal with He Lao. They didn’t have a taste of cooked food for a long period of time and was already sick of the rations.

After eating to a full, Jiang Yi walked into the room arranged for him and immediately went to sleep. He slept all the way to the second morning before he woke up. Jiang Yi cultivated for a few hours before he started to make a plan for his future path.

He quickly made his decision and strived to excavate the Divine Vein within half a year, but he wouldn’t refine the celestial stones; otherwise, he might incite the fury of the Witch God. After obtaining the celestial stones, he would then go to the Witch God’s forbidden ground and learn the sorcery arts and restrictions from the Witch God. After comprehending those sorcery arts, his combat strength would have a huge improvement; and he would then refine those celestial stones and obtain the strength of Vajra Realm. With assistance from the Yazi Beast demon king, he might have the capability to go against the six influential forces in three years time.

After resting a peaceful day in the town, Jiang Yi prepared to set off on the next morning. He Lao’s injuries were near complete recovery, and so he gladly agreed when Jiang Yi proposed.

“Lord Regent! Elder He!”

Before they had a chance to make a move, the deacon from Zhan Clan suddenly walked over and spoke with a grave expression, “Something happened! We just received news from the Heaven Mystics Kingdom. Yun He and Yun Lu’s faction are preparing to make a move on Princess Yun Fei and Prince Yun Xian. If they don’t receive any external assistance, they would… certainly perish!”
