The Three-Tailed Spirit Fox’s scent was easy to recognize; even when it was not releasing demonic arts and the foxy fragrance, its body would still emit a faint scent. It was a very unique scent that was very pleasant like a fragrance from a flower, which was very refreshing.
This fragrance was too indistinct. If Jiang Yi didn’t use the elixir that was provided by Zhuge Qingyun and the black essence force to enhance his sense of smell, he would certainly not detect it.
The Quinary-Color Peacock shot towards the north like a sharp arrow, and the scent that Jiang Yi detected got even more intense while his eyes became brighter. Now he could say with certainty: “It’s the little fox! This is definitely the little fox’s scent! I remember it clearly!”
“Alright!”
Principal Qi and the others were invigorated. As long as they found the little fox and successfully rescued it, the demonic beast army would withdraw; and they would be the ones who did an outstanding service for mankind, leaving their names in history.
“Chu-Chu!”
The Quinary-Color Peacock flapped the wings uninterruptedly, giving rise to violent winds and turning into an afterimage that shot forward. When they went over a tall mountain, a magnificent giant city appeared. Jiang Yi’s nose twitched as he yelled out, “The scent is originating from within the city. Descend and go into the city!”
“Swish!”
With the thought in Principal Qi’s mind, the Quinary-Color Peacock descended like a speeding arrow.
The Quinary Color Peacock had a massive body and also an intense aura, which immediately alerted the guards on the city wall. Countless experts burst towards them and nervously looked at Jiang Yi and the others who were on the Quinary-Color Peacock. A general wearing a blue armor yelled out, “Who goes there? The Ghost Eye City has been locked down, and any kind of entry or exit is forbidden! Please swiftly return; otherwise, you will be viewed as attackers and will be killed without mercy!”
“Ghost Eye City? This is one of the top ten main cities of the Saint Spirit Kingdom!”
Principal Qi quickly controlled the Quinary-Color Peacock to decrease its speed and suspend about the city. Just as she was about to explain, Jiang Yi suddenly burst forth from the Quinary-Color Peacock while turning his head to yell to Principal Qi and the others, “Quickly give chase! The scent of the little fox is fading. The enemy has been alerted and is trying to escape with the little fox!”
“You must be tired of living!”
The innumerable Soul Travel Realm experts were infuriated. That general’s large saber glowed brightly as he shouted, “Enemy assault, prepare to attack!”
“Enemy assault? Screw you!”
When Jiang Yi was falling, he was overwhelmed with anger when he saw the countless weapons that were glowing bright and were about to release the essence force attacks. He then roared, “I am Jiang Yi, the Empire’s Patrol Envoy! You dare touch me? This Envoy is executing a military affair, and if you delay me, your heads will not be enough for the beheading. All of you, get lost!”
“Jiang Yi?”
This name seemed to have some magical powers that stunned everyone below. Jiang Yi’s name had been the hottest topic in the entire continent recently, and his prowess had extended across the entire Ghost Eye City. This unlucky star suddenly appeared here?
“Everyone, don’t do anything. We are the Vice Principals from Mt. Spirit Beast College! We do not have any ill intentions!”
Principal Qi also yelled out and shot out a token towards the general below. “This is our Principal’s token!”
When the general took up the token and had a look, he instantly let out a breath of relief as this token was engraved with the wordings ‘Zhuge’ which carried a mystical authority. It put fear in their hearts, but it was definitely Zhuge Qingyun’s token. Furthermore, Principal Qi was a peak-stage Soul Travel Realm expert and was rather famous in the six kingdoms. This general had a recollection of seeing her images; he no longer had any doubts.
“Swish!”
Jiang Yi had already landed on the surface and was bursting towards the direction while Principal Qi and the others naturally didn’t dare to delay as she kept the Quinary-Color Peacock and jumped down with everyone else.
Principal Qi gestured for the others to follow Jiang Yi while she suddenly sent a message to that general: “General, we are now on a secret mission and cannot explain the details. I can vow with my integrity that this matter involves the existence of mankind and even involves millions of citizens of the Saint Spirit Kingdom. I plead you to not hinder us.”
Principal Qi dared not explain that they were here to look for the little fox as the entire continent was looking for the kidnapper, but there wasn’t a single trace of information. Principal Qi suspected there was a powerful mastermind behind all these, and they naturally had to keep a secret that Jiang Yi was able to detect the scent of the little fox. If this information leaked out, and the enemy was to know about it, a lot of different variables would appear.
The general of the Ghost Eye City didn’t question any further. Since Principal Qi had the backing of Zhuge Qingyun, he naturally didn’t have any suspicion. After all, Zhuge Qingyun was one of the top ten martial experts on this continent. His eyes flickered before he asked softly, “Madam Qi, do you need my assistance?”
“It is temporarily not needed as long as our movements are not hindered. If I need any assistance, I will inform you.”
Principal Qi then flew into the distance, chasing in the direction where Jiang Yi and the others went. The general then quickly gave his order: “Gui Wu, send some men to follow them. As long as they didn’t do anything reckless, do not interfere with them.”
“Swish!”
A Soul Travel Realm expert immediately led about a hundred men to follow them. Principal Qi and her group were too powerful; they wouldn’t be able to relax if they didn’t follow to see what they were up to.
“This side!”
In the city, the Vice Principals had already caught up with Jiang Yi; and Vice Principal Liu was carrying Jiang Yi while they were sprinting, causing a disturbance in the city.
In just a few dozen breaths…!
Jiang Yi and the group arrived outside of a huge inn at the north of the city. This inn looked very luxurious and had several guards outside. When they saw that Jiang Yi and his group were about to barge, they stood vigilant with their weapons drawn like they were about to face the enemy.
“Get lost!”
With a furious yell, Vice Principal Liu used a palm strike to send all the guards flying. Under the guidance from Jiang Yi, they immediately shot into a small courtyard at the inner part of the inn.
“It is this place!”
The Fire Dragon Sword appeared in Jiang Yi’s hand as he shook off Vice Principal Liu’s arm and shot into the courtyard. All the Vice Principals fanned out and rushed into, using their blade-like eyes to scan the interior.
“No one is here?”
The courtyard was quiet. When Vice Principal Liu and the others rushed in, they couldn’t find a single person!
“Here!”
Jiang Yin entered a room and used a single hand to slam on a large bed!
“Boom!”
The bed exploded into smithereens as there was a bottomless hole under near the bed. Jiang Yi’s nose twitched as he exclaimed, “They have escaped underground. Other than the little fox’s presence, there are seven or eight others. Their strength… unknown!”
“Let’s go!”
Since they were already here, they naturally wouldn’t leave things unfinished. Even if all seven or eight of them were at the peak stage of Soul Travel Realm, Vice Principal Liu, Principal Qi, and the others had no choice but to go all out.
“Wait!”
Jiang Yi yelled out while a spirit beast talisman appeared and let out flash. An enormous spirit beast appeared, which collapsed the entire room. Jiang Yi leaped onto the beast and shouted, “All of you come up, this spirit beast is faster than all of you underground!”
“Ancient species, Zouwu Beast!”
Principal Qi and the others’ eyes all widened. They might be able to traverse quickly underground using their spirit artifacts and heaven artifacts; however, it was definitely not as effortless as the Zouwu Beast.
The Zouwu Beast was massive, and to carry Principal Qi and the others wasn’t a problem. They quickly leaped on and grabbed onto a spike while Jiang Yi ordered, “Big Huang, pursue!”
“Moo-Moo!”
Big Huang let out a deep roar before moving its hooves and rushing underground while the horns on its head glowed with yellow light.
“Boom!”
The surface of the ground shook, and the already-damaged loft—because of the Zouwu Beast—had completely collapsed. When the members of the Ghost Eye City came over to investigate, Jiang Yi had already vanished into the ground without a trace.
