After resting for a day, Jiang Yi departed again. As he had remained in Black Deity’s transformation, it was very safe in the Endless Deep Sea. He wasn’t in a rush and would use the Heaven Evasion to travel a billion miles before resting for a day. Doing this would allow his body and soul spirit to recover to his prime state, and if he was to encounter any danger, he could use the Heaven Evasion to escape at any moment.
After executing the Heaven Evasion for five times and resting for six days, Jiang Yi reached the Heaven Fox Continent. He didn’t revert to his original appearance and continued to strut into Heaven Fox Continent as Black Deity. He then executed the Heaven Evasion again to arrive nearby the imperial city. The nearby Heaven Fox Race’s Clan Head led him and flew towards the imperial city.
Qianqian didn’t deceive him as the Endless Deep Sea did send over five Demon Sovereigns, and Tuoba Qin was currently unifying the Heaven Fox Continent. The Demon Empress and Xiao Fei were safely residing inside the imperial city.
“Greetings to Lord Black Deity!”
After entering the imperial city, Jiang Yi saw two of the Holy Elders who carried the Demon Empress and a group of Heaven Fox experts to welcome him. Jiang Yi had already found out that Tuoba Qin had gone to the north, and he wasn’t surprised about it either. He looked at the Demon Empress and said, “Where is Xiao Fei?”
The Demon Empress got a slight astonishment but still replied respectfully, “Lord Black Deity, Xiao Fei is in seclusion and is cultivating a Heaven Fox Race’s secret technique!”
“Oh!”
Jiang Yi waved his hand and said, “Let’s go in and talk!”
After entering the castle, Jiang Yi dismissed the Heaven Fox Race’s experts and transmitted a message: “Demon Empress, I am Jiang Yi. I am using a divine ability to disguise myself as Black Deity. My whereabouts must not be leaked out. Are you staying well here?”
“Uh…”
The Demon Empress took a suspicious look at Jiang Yi and was in disbelief. In her eyes, this person in front of her was simply Black Deity as he didn’t have any of Jiang Yi’s aura presence.
Jiang Yi smiled and transmitted another message: “Keke. Demon Empress, do you remember Fairy Peak? Demon King Xiao Hong, Summer Rain City, the imperial capital, Stellarsky City, Dugu Qiu…?”
The Demon Empress quickly nodded her head and was sure that this was definitely Jiang Yi. She didn’t show any surprise and spoke respectfully, “I thank Lord Black Deity for the concern. This servant and Xiao Fei are staying here well. Xiao Fei has been making rapid progress while cultivating in the Heaven Fox Race’s divine ancestor’s mystic realm. The Thearch and the elders are all treating us very well. We are staying here comfortably.”
Jiang Yi grew relieved and transmitted another message: “Demon Empress, I need to journey to a distant place, and I might not be able to see you and Xiao Fei for a long time. If you have any problems, immediately send a message to Qianqian. If you are not having a good time staying here, you can get Qianqian to bring you both to the Endless Deep Sea’s Xuanwu Palace or the Gods Bestow City.”
“En!”
The Demon Empress nodded repeatedly and spoke to Jiang Yi with concern, “Lord Black Deity, please be safe on your journey. Xiao Fei will miss you very much!”
Jiang Yi wanted to see Xiao Fei, but it was a pity that she was in seclusion, and since she was inside the Heaven Fox Race’s mystic realm, he couldn’t just enter. He sat for a moment before bidding farewell. Before he left, he left behind a painting, which was a portrait for himself and Xiao Fei, leaving a memento after Xiao Fei exited from seclusion.
“I am leaving. Demon Empress, please take care!”
Soaring up into the skies of the imperial city, Jiang Yi turned back and looked at the Demon Empress while the latter bowed and looked at Jiang Yi. She then spoke sincerely, “Please take care!”
Swish!
Jiang Yi didn’t wait for Tuoba Qin to return as he had immediately flown off. He didn’t get the Heaven Fox Race to escort him either as he looked for a secluded place and immediately executed the Heaven Evasion. This time, he was heading to Gods Bestow City. Before he left, he had to bid farewell to Qian Wanguan, Feng Luan, and others while also making some arrangements.
…
“Go inform Lord Qian and say that Qian Kun is requesting for a meeting!”
Twenty-six days later, Jiang Yi arrived outside Situ Courtyard. His current transformation was an ordinary middle-aged martial artist and only at the first stage of Heaven Monarch. He had an appearance that no one would take a second glance if he was thrown into a crowd. Right now, he was speaking indifferently with a guard outside the Situ Courtyard.
This Lord Qian he was speaking about was naturally Qian Wanguan!
The guard hesitated and looked at Jiang Yi as Qian Wanguan was the son-in-law of the Situ Clan Head. How could anyone just ask for a meeting like this? Before this guard got rid of him, Jiang Yi spoke coldly, “Just go and inform him. You just have to bring up my name ‘Qian Kun’, and Lord Qian will naturally meet with me. If he doesn’t meet with me, you can kill me.”
The guards looked at each other and confirmed that Jiang Yi wasn’t a retard as no one would use their life as a joke. One of the guards quickly walked towards Qian Castle.
Jiang Yi stood there indifferently. He had spent 26 days to reach Gods Bestow City and turned into this form, specifically to conceal his identity. The Gods Bestow City definitely had spies from the East Imperial Continent, and not even the Situ Courtyard was absolutely safe. Hence, he had to be careful.
As seen by everyone, he had gone to the Endless Deep Sea. If he was to return to Gods Bestow Tribe, he would certainly garner a lot of attention. Jiang Yi wanted to give the East Imperial Continent’s spies a misconception that he had never returned from the Endless Deep Sea. He would then be able to infiltrate the East Imperial Continent secretly and plot in the dark.
“Lord Qian asked you to enter!”
The guard got out quickly and was much more respectful. The two guards escorted Jiang Yi into the Situ Courtyard, and after many turns, they finally arrived Qian Wanguan’s residence, Qian Castle.
After entering Qian Castle, Jiang Yi could sense around eight powerful aura presences locking onto him. One of them was even at the Demigod Realm. After checking for a moment, they had all vanished. Jiang Yi was silently in approval as the Qian Castle was absolutely safe.
“Who are you?”
There was an awe-inspiring youth that walked out from the main hall. After a few months, Qian Wanguan had slimmed down even more, and his presence got even more extraordinary. A single statement from him was enough for Jiang Yi to feel a faint pressure.
Jiang Yi looked at the suspicious Qian Wanguan and cupped his hands. “Lord Qian, I am Qian Kun from Mt. Spirit Beast College. Back then, I was fortunate enough to roam the world with Lord Qian, like the Soul Break Valley, Tomb of the Heaven Monarch, Fairy Peak, Starfall Island… does Lord Qian still remember?”
Qian Wanguan’s eyes flashed with brilliance as he revealed a smile and nodded. “I remember, come in first before we talk!”
Jiang Yi was in admiration of Qian Wanguan’s quick wits as he followed inside. Once Qian Wanguan entered, he waved his hand immediately and said, “Everyone, out. Activate the restriction. I will be attending to my guest behind closed doors. I will not be seeing anyone today!
“Boss, is that you?”
Once the restriction was activated, Qian Wanguan immediately jumped and was filled with surprise while that awe-inspiring presence had vanished.
Jiang Yi grinned, his body gradually transformed, and his aura presence had reverted to normal. He nodded and said, “Wanguan, it has been a long time. You rascal slimmed down a lot, huh? You look much better like this.”
“Hahaha!”
Qian Wanguan walked over, gave Jiang Yi a bear hug, and had this touched expression as he asked, “Boss, what ability were you using earlier? You can actually change into an entirely different person? If you didn’t speak of all those things, I would have never guessed. That’s right… Boss, why didn’t you disguise yourself and sneak back? What about Xiaonu?”
“Hehe!”
Jiang Yi rubbed his nose and laughed. “This is the Mirage Divine Ability. Let alone you, even if I stand in front of your father-in-law, he will not recognize me. En… even if it was those old monsters, they could only dream of seeing my true identity if they didn’t have any special ability! Xiaonu is staying in Xuanwu Palace as Ao Lu said he will help her comprehend the third stage of the Ink Feather Divine Art. As for why am I in disguise, that is because… I am going to the East Imperial Continent!”
“East Imperial Continent?”
Qian Wanguan’s eyes contracted as he revealed a trace of surprise. He slapped on his chest and said, “Boss, I will go with you! Be it mountains of daggers or seas of flames, we brothers will venture together. We will go wreak the East Imperial Continent and turn them upside down!”
“Wreak your head!”
Jiang Yi slapped Qian Wanguan at the back of his head and laughed while berating. “Go get everyone here. I need to make some arrangements, and I will depart after resting for a few days.”
