Half a month had passed by in an instant. Jiang Yi had exited his seclusion on time, and after having a conversation with Qian Wanguan, he decided to depart.
Gods Bestow City was in peace, and the new merchant association was started to rebuild. After the Sky Ascension Peak incident, the various didn’t dare to look for trouble with Jiang Yi and Qian Wanguan’s group. The Jiang Castle had become the safest place inside Gods Bestow Tribe, and so Jiang Yi felt reassured to leave everyone here.
This time, he was originally planning to go by himself as he wasn’t on a leisure trip, but Jiang Xiaonu had insisted on coming along. After considering the fact that she didn’t have the Ink Feather Divine Art’s third stage and was unable to cultivate, he had agreed.
Jiang Xiaonu had a reclusive character, and apart from having a slightly better relationship with Su Ruoxue, she was unable to fit in with Feng Luan, Yun Fei, and others. She didn’t have any hobbies, and she would only be happy when she was following Jiang Yi. Even if there was nothing to talk about, she was content to simply stay beside Jiang Yi.
The trip to the center of Endless Deep Sea was a long journey. If there weren’t any fast-moving transportation, they would need a few months if they rode on the Heaven Fate Ship. However, Jiang Yi didn’t have to consider such things as Qianqian stated clearly that… Black Deity could carry them.
Jiang Yi originally thought that Black Deity would carry him and fly. He didn’t expect when he looked for Qianqian at the Situ Small Construct and said that he could depart, Black Deity flew up into the sky while his body flashed with a black light. He had transformed back into his original form and into a giant black dragon. He then spoke coldly, “Everyone, come on top.”
Swish!
Qianqian nodded to Situ Yinian before she flew up and onto the black dragon’s head. Jiang Yi and Jiang Xiaonu looked at each other in dismay. This Black Deity was a Demon Sovereign. They might not know his exact strength, but it was highly possible that he was in the Demigod Realm. How could he and Jiang Xiaonu step on his head?
When Qianqian saw Jiang Yi hesitate, she giggled and said, “Jiang Yi, it is fine. You rescued Forebear out from the Mystic Divine Palace, and that is the greatest gratitude towards the demon race of the Endless Deep Sea. Uncle Black will not mind it.”
Black Deity’s giant eyes looked at Jiang Yi and spoke indifferently, “Hurry up, Thearch is waiting for us!”
“Alright!”
Jiang Yi didn’t try to argue anymore as he gently carried Jiang Xiaonu and soared onto Black Deity’s giant head. Black Deity swept a glance at Situ Ao and the Situ Clan Patriarch and considered it as bidding farewell. His massive body twisted a little before he turned into an afterimage and flew high up into the sky above the city.
“Eh? Isn’t that Black Deity?”
“Black Deity is returning? Princess Qianqian is going to leave again…”
“Not right, everyone, look quickly! There are two individuals standing beside Princess Qianqian!”
“Jiang Yi, it’s Jiang Yi and his little sister!”
“Uh… Jiang Yi can actually stand on Black Deity’s head. That is a Demon Sovereign… are they going to the Endless Deep Sea?”
When Black Deity was flying up into the sky, he had immediately attracted countless attention from the city’s martial artists. The city instantly got lively as Jiang Yi was now a popular man in the city, and everyone was paying attention to his every move.
Swish!
Black Deity totally ignored the gossip from the city while he flew towards the high altitude with his small mountain-like body which was over a few meters in size, along with his majestic aura presence. Soon enough, he rushed out of Gods Bestow City’s barrier and towards in the direction of the Endless Deep Sea.
“Such fast speed!”
Jiang Yi and Jiang Xiaonu could see the Gods Bestow City shrinking to the size of a fist while the countless people had turned into the size of ants. The Gods Bestow City was still getting further away, and in just a few blinks of the eye, they could no longer see Gods Bestow City. The duo was silently shocked as they had confirmed that Black Deity’s strength was definitely at the Demigod Realm as his speed was at least several times faster than a peak-stage Heaven Monarch.
Standing on Black Deity’s body, Jiang Yi couldn’t feel any hint of powerful demonic beast prowess—or any hint of the gale. Black Deity’s body wasn’t lit up with any barrier, making it very mystical. Jiang Yi looked around for a moment and asked Qianqian curiously, “Princess Qianqian, with a speed like this, how long do we need to reach Xuanwu Palace?”
“Ten days!”
Qianqian let out a big smile and replied politely, “Jiang Yi, you can just call me Qianqian. Qianqian is very grateful to you for rescuing Forebear. If you still address me as Princess or something, Qianqian will have no choice but to address you as Young Master Jiang Yi.”
“Don’t, just call me Jiang Yi!”
Jiang Yi laughed bitterly and asked curiously again, “Qianqian, are you of the same race as Lord Ao Lu? What race are you?”
Qianqian smiled and explained. “Yes, we are of the Black Tortoise Race, but when we transform, I feel that I am no different from a human. I am simply Qianqian. Jiang Yi, you wouldn’t dislike me just because I am of the demon race, right?”
“Why would that be so?”
Jiang Yi replied very sincerely, “In fact, when I was 16, I got to know a little fox and had become its friend. The Yazi Beast might just be a Demon King who cannot transform, but I had always treated him as a friend—so is the Golden Flood Dragon. I feel that as long as a demonic beast has spirit wisdom, they are no different from humans. As long as the demon race transforms, they would be humans; and we are of equal standings. In my heart, Qianqian has always been a pretty young lady!”
Qianqian blinked her big eyes and stared at Jiang Yi for a moment before she spoke with gratitude, “Thank you, Jiang Yi. Your words are very sincere. You are the first human that truly treats our demon race as friends!”
“Ke-Ke!”
Jiang Yi laughed and said, “All living things have spirit, and all living things have good and bad. Doesn’t the human race also have many evil people? It means that not all demon race is of bad nature as well. For example, Qianqian is a very kindhearted lady. When the little fox evolves and can turn into human form, I think you two will definitely become good friends.”
“Oh, right!”
When mentioning about the little fox, Jiang Yi had this suddenly though as he recalled about the Demon Empress. Huangfu Taotian and the others didn’t know about the Heaven Fox Continent, but since Qianqian was a demon race princess of the Endless Deep Sea, she might know it? After all, the Demon Empress was also of the demon race. He quickly asked, “Qianqian, do you know of the Heaven Fox Continent? That continent is filled with the Heaven Fox Race.”
“Heaven Fox Continent?”
Qianqian knitted her brows and thought for a moment before she shook her head and said, “I have to go back and check on the information!”
“There is no need to check!”
The black dragon below suddenly grinned and spoke indifferently, “The Heaven Fox Continent is at the north of the Endless Deep Sea and is a small continent. Qianqian, you might not know it, but I have been there once.”
“En?”
Jiang Yi and Jiang Xiaonu’s eyes lit up. The Demon Empress had treated them kindly, and she mentioned that she was going to return and take revenge. Jiang Yi had been wanting to find out about the Demon Empress and see if he could help her in any way.
In the past, his strength was weak, and he wouldn’t be able to help even if he found out anything. Right now, Jiang Yi and Jiang Xiaonu’s overall strengths were already at the peak stage of the Heaven Monarch. It was natural that they wanted to think of ways to help the Demon Empress as Xiao Fei must not lose her mother.
Jiang Yi quickly asked in a serious voice, “Lord Black Deity. Is the Heaven Fox Continent far from here? Can we make a trip to the Heaven Fox Continent before going to the Xuanwu Palace?”
“Hmph?”
Black Deity let out a little dissatisfied grunt and didn’t respond while Qianqian’s brows knitted. Since Ao Lu wanted Jiang Yi to rush over within a month, there must be something important. If they were to go over to the Heaven Fox Continent, they would still need around half a month even with Black Deity’s speed, meaning there would be delays.
Seeing Jiang Yi’s hopeful face, Qianqian bit her lips and said, “I will send a message to Forebear first. If Forebear agrees, then we will make a trip to the Heaven Fox Continent!”
Qianqian took out a blue token which was different from the token that Qian Wanguan used. There were no runic patterns as there was just a simple flash of blue light. After a moment later, there was another flash of blue light. Qianqian took a glance and nodded. “Forebear replied and mentioned for us to go and come back with haste! Uncle Black, change of direction!”
“Oh!”
Black Deity responded with a little dissatisfied voice as he turned and flew towards the northeast direction and increased his speed further. Jiang Yi and Jiang Xiaonu were ecstatic. With these two incredible individuals of the demon race, it wouldn’t be a problem to raze the Heaven Fox Continent to the ground. However, they didn’t know… if the Demon Empress was still alive?
