The next one and a half days were very peaceful. Perhaps Luo Qingyan’s diversion tactics had worked, or Luo Fu did not dare to come to pursue them alone. Jiang Yi’s wounds had also healed more or less and could move about unencumbered. The Rootless Water and China Root Elixir’s side effects had also worn off. The Dense Fog Peak was also getting closer and closer. Jiang Yi could not remain calm and did not even care about his injuries anymore.
Luo Shui and company had all returned and were following behind. Jiang Yi was quite determined. Although many people were participating in the two missions this time, there were more than a hundred people; there were not many formidable martial artists. Only Commander Xia’s son—Xia Rui—and a few peak-stage God Generals were present!
Jiang Yi did not even think much about peak-stage God Generals at this moment!
Not even accounting for the ten free God King guards following behind, even Gu Mu could single-handedly kill all of them. Hence, once their Divine Boat had reached five hundred kilometers from the Dense Fog Peak, Jiang Yi had immediately stopped trying to recuperate. After all, with the recuperation medicine he had taken and his strong body, he would naturally heal.
Jiang Yi locked onto the front using the transparent walls of the Divine Boat as his heart grew very anxious; all he could think of was the figure of that maidservant.
At last, a huge mountain peak appeared in front. There seemed to be no end to it; it was ten thousand feet high. The entire mountain peak seemed to be enveloped in the white mist, partially visible and partially hidden. The fog here was exceptionally thick; it probably had originated from the Dense Fog Peak.
Swish!
An Earth Emanations Pavilion martial artist wearing black battle armor that had a thorn apple flower insignia on it flew over. This was evidently a scout from the small troop of martial artists carrying out the mission that had been left behind as a guard. He shouted from afar, “The Earth Emanations Pavilion is currently undertaking a mission now. My Lord, what can we do for you?”
This scout was very intelligent. He had both announced his identity and alerted his comrades inside the mountain peak that formidable martial artists had appeared. Jiang Yi glanced at Gu Mu as the latter opened the huge door to the Divine Boat and flew out. The Earth Emanations Pavilion battle armor also appeared on Gu Mu as he glanced coldly and said, ‘Where is Xia Rui?”
“Earth Emanations?”
The Earth Emanations Pavilion scout’s eyes narrowed; Earth Emanations martial artists were commander-level formidable martial artists. For an Earth Emanations martial artist to appear from a Divine Boat to ask questions… could it be the person inside the Divine Boat was even more distinguished? The scout hurriedly genuflected in fear and said, “To reply my Lord, Young Master Xia is inside the mountain!”
“Lead the way!”
Gu Mu shouted in an overbearing voice. The scout hesitated but did not speak any further. Luo Shui and company were already standing by behind as Luo Qingyan sent a voice transmission: “Surround the Dense Fog Peak. If we were the ones to attack first, you guys must remember not to let even one of them live. Kill all of them. If not, there will be trouble for the Earth Emanations Pavilion Luo Clan.”
Kill all of them?
Luo Shui sucked in a mouthful of cold air. The Earth Emanations Pavilion had their rules: members of the Earth Emanations Pavilion were not to attack each other. If anything of the sort was discovered, all involved would be killed. The Earth Emanations Pavilion Luo Clan naturally belonged to the Earth Emanations Pavilion. If this matter was exposed, the Earth Emanations Pavilion Luo Clan would pay dearly.
Luo Qingyan knew this, obviously. However, she did not have any choice.
Furthermore, she had a very suitable scapegoat: Jiang Yi! She could throw all the blame to Jiang Yi, saying that it was Gu Mu who killed them. All those who would die this time were all small fry; Xia Rui was nothing to the Earth Emanations Pavilion Luo Clan either. As long as Xiao Di were to say something, the Earth Emanations Pavilion Luo Clan would not be implicated. Of course… the premise was that not one person could be left alive.
“Spread out and surround this place. Remember what Young Mistress had said. If a battle happens, not one is to be left alive!”
Luo Shui hurriedly gave the order as the other nine God Kings swiftly flew to surround the huge mountain peak. They spaced out evenly and had the mountain all surrounded. However, not one released his strong aura. They were still lying in wait as their divine senses scanned the surroundings.
Swish!
Inside the mountain, Gu Mu brought the scout and flew as the Divine Boat carrying Jiang Yi and Luo Qingyan followed behind. The Divine Boat was flying very low. Jiang Yi could see through the transparent walls that Earth Emanations Pavilion martial artists were searching all about beneath them. They were probably looking for some herbs.
“Where is Xiaonu? Luo Qingyan, ask Gu Mu to use his divine senses to find Xiaonu!”
Jiang Yi felt a little anxious as Luo Qingyan sent the word out. Gu Mu had already started searching on his own. However, as this mountain was so big and divine senses were restricted here, his search radius was extremely small.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
After proceeding ahead for another thirty-odd kilometers, a dozen-odd God Generals suddenly flew by, all of them locking their eyes on Gu Mu, their faces changing. One of them cupped his hands and said, “My Lord, we are from the Blue Lion City Xia Clan. Can I ask what you are doing here?”
Bang!
“Ah—”
At this moment, an explosion could be heard from ahead, followed by a scream for help. Following that, a screeching voice rang out, “Ah, this bitch actually dares to hurt me. Kill her, kill her!”
“I am an Earth Emanations Pavilion disciple. If you guys dare to kill me, the Earth Emanations Pavilion would exterminate your clan!”
A woman’s voice that raised Jiang Yi’s goosebumps rang out as his eyes turned red, and he roared, “It’s Xiaonu! Gu Mu, kill all of them!”
Swish!
Gu Mu did not hesitate at all when it came to orders from Jiang Yi. He single-handedly grabbed the scout and killed him as a metal rod appeared in his other hand. He swept it forward as the God Generals in front of him were all smashed to death.
His body shot forward like a sharp sword as Jiang Yi and Luo Qingyan also flew from the Divine Boat. Jiang Yi immediately swallowed a China Root Elixir and shouted, “Xiaonu, I have come!”
“Young Master?”
In mid-air ahead, an absolute beauty with a whole head of green hair, wearing black battle armor, and emanating a killing aura could be seen. Her battle armor had now been pierced by her two wings as she trembled and disbelief appeared on her face. Tears started falling like a river.
“En?”
The four to five God Generals flying to kill Xiaonu, as well as a handsome young master, all sensed Gu Mu’s strong aura as their faces immediately turned pale. Their hands lit up with different types of light. However, no one dared to continue their attack as they looked horrifyingly at Jiang Yi and Gu Mu that were heading speedily towards them.
“Young Master, it really is you! Young Master, I have thought about you so much!”
Seeing that familiar figure—that mesmerizing face, Jiang Xiaonu could no longer control her emotions as she threw herself into Jiang Yi’s embrace like a young lady that had suffered immensely, seeing her kin coming to her aid. She grabbed onto Jiang Yi tightly, afraid that he would disappear.
“Don’t be afraid, Xiaonu, I am here! No one can bully you ever again!”
Jiang Yi’s heart was about to break. All this time, he had been constantly thinking about Jiang Xiaonu, worrying about her, and fearing that she had suffered any injustice, that she had died!
Now, he had finally found her and had managed to do so before she was hurt. The huge weight on his shoulders was finally lifted. Seeing Jiang Xiaonu crying so pitifully, he was filled with rage as he swept a look at Xia Rui and company. He shouted at Gu Mu, “Are you a dead man? What are you doing standing there? Kill all of them!”
Swish!
Gu Mu flew forward as Jiang Xiaonu’s frightened voice cried out, “No, young master, you cannot kill indiscriminately. They are members of the Earth Emanations Pavilion, and that man is Commander Xia’s son. If you kill them, there will be big trouble.”
“Who cares who his father is? Whoever dares to hurt you will die!”
Jiang Yi replied very ferociously, as he patted Jiang Xiaonu’s back and softly said, “Don’t be afraid, Xiaonu. I am here for you!’
“En!”
Hearing the last few words, Jiang Xiaonu did not care about anything else anymore. For her, Jiang Yi was her everything. As long as he was around, the sky would never fall!
“No, you guys cannot kill me…”
Xia Rui was enveloped by Gu Mu’s fearful aura as he let out a pitiful cry. However, he had not finished his sentence before Gu Mu’s huge metal rod smashed on him; and he was instantly turned into a ball of flesh.
