Chi! Chi!
A large palm over 17 meters wide pressed down from the high altitude, causing the layers of air to shiver. The essence force attacks that Jiang Yi shot out were like moths into the fire as they were dissipated by the large palm effortlessly. That large palm had this disdainful aura presence that smashed down viciously and was going to turn Jiang Yi into meat pulp.
At this moment, Yin Ruobing had acted. The white longbow in her hands had vanished, and it was replaced by a small red bow. This bow was two times smaller than the white bow, but it had a horrific aura presence. After the essence force was poured in, the surface of the bow instantly glittered with runic patterns. Her hands gently moved and shot a red arrow that struck the large palm that was smashing down at Jiang Yi.
There was no explosion and no fluctuation, and that large palm had been dispersed by the small red arrow easily. Afterward, that small red arrow spun in the air and flew rapidly towards Zi Fengtian.
“God-Shooter Bow? Retreat now!”
Zi Fengtian’s expression changed, and a large shield appeared in his hand. He tossed the shield in front abruptly and immediately retreated like a rainbow while the rest of the Zi Clan’s guards had also escaped frantically.
Bang!
The giant shield was obviously a pseudo-divine artifact, and after it was gently hit by the small red arrow, it flew over three kilometers away. That small arrow continued to pierce the sky before crashing hard into a small mountain peak in the distance.
Boom!
The mountain crumbled, and the ground shook. Sounds of the explosion echoed in the radius of a hundred miles which caused Jiang Yi’s eardrum to vibrate. His face had a shock that he had just survived a calamity, but his heart was actually sneering.
This was obviously a great show, and it was acted for him!
Yin Ruobing’s spirit-connected cardinal treasure had never been revealed from the start, and it was only taken out just as he was about to be killed. Furthermore, Sister Xing didn’t try to rescue him either. There was only one objective, and it was to test his true combat strength, or perhaps… forcing him to reveal himself.
Jiang Yi even had suspicions if this Zi Fengtian truly had a feud with Yin Ruobing? Even if he was a descendant of an ancient clan, would he truly dare to touch the members of the Yin Clan? In fact, Zi Fengtian might be Yin Ruobing’s subordinate, and he was here to specifically to act this show?
That fragrance that was suddenly emitted from Yin Ruobing… was it intentional? Was the objective to test his reaction?
Could the Fragrant Lady Race’s special body have the ability to sense something?
Jiang Yi’s mind thought quickly. If Yi Chan had some suspicion, then it was normal for Yin Ruobing to have detected something as she had a special astral body. However, it could be determined that Yin Ruobing was only suspicious and not certain. Otherwise, there would be no need for the show earlier.
This woman is very smart!
Jiang Yi held Yin Ruobing with higher regard now, but he didn’t hate her. If he was in her standpoint, he would also try to test himself. After all, Jiang Yi was a stranger and even had a strange ability. If Zi Fengtian was truly her subordinate, this scheme would truly be brilliant as he had nearly released his Divine Sound Heaven Skill and exposed his identity.
Hoo-Hoo!
Jiang Yi reacted accordingly and panted deep breaths after standing up, revealing an extremely terrified expression. When Yin Ruobing moved towards him, he quickly cupped his hands with emotions and said, “Many thanks for Young Lady Yin’s rescue. Bai Yi is moved to tears with gratitude.”
In the deepest part of Yin Ruobing’s eyes, there was a trace of disappointment as she spoke indifferently, “Ruobing is the one that implicated Young Master. Let’s go, Zi Fengtian wouldn’t dare to come to look for trouble again.”
Two members of the Yin Clan had suffered light injuries, and it wasn’t worth paying attention to. Everyone packed up and continued their journey. Jiang Yi followed behind Yin Ruobing while trembling with fear and had noticed she was much colder now. He was silently rejoicing as he actually didn’t see any problem when Yin Ruobing treated him with such respect earlier. How could a Young Lady of the Yin Clan treat a regular person with such modesty? There was obviously something wrong.
Sister Xing remained at the front to open up the path while everything followed behind. Along the way, Jiang Yi constantly released his Divine Perception to scout, and he was much quieter, too. The group quickly found the ruins of the city due to Jiang Yi’s scouting, but it was a pity as this ruin had been searched through. There were no treasures here.
“Young Lady Yin, I have something I don’t understand!”
After completing the search quickly, Jiang Yi couldn’t help but ask a question that was in his mind, “Is the terrain inside the Purgatory Ruin constantly changing?”
Those who exited the Purgatory Ruin would be wiped out of all memories, but they could use a brush to draw a map of this place. Those who entered afterward would be able to use the map to search for treasures. These cities’ ruins were very strange. Those ruins on the outskirts contained treasures, but those on the inside had all been searched through?
Yin Ruobing nodded insipidly and said, “Your guesses are correct. The terrain here is indeed constantly changing. Of course, that lake has an unusual landform that would never change, but no one would know where it is located in the ruin. We have to search for it. The only thing unchanged… is a Divine Temple located in the center of the ruin. That is the only structure that had yet to be destroyed, but we are unable to enter it now.”
“Divine Temple?” Jiang Yi asked curiously, “Why can’t we enter it?”
“Ke-Ke!”
Yin Ruobing laughed and replied, “The astral winds inside is 100 times stronger than the outside. Not even Sister Xing will be able to withstand it, and there are plenty of terrifying restrictions inside, too. There is an 80% death rate for all those who entered. In our Yin Clan’s history, there are less than ten individuals who were able to survive after entering the Divine Temple, and those survivors had only explored the outside of the Divine Temple…”
“En, en.”
Jiang Yi nodded and didn’t ask anymore as he wasn’t interested in entering that so-called Divine Temple. If it was so terrifying inside, he would certainly die if he entered. After he obtained the Fire Snake Orchid and didn’t find any chance to capture Wu Ni and Ji Tingyu, he would immediately find a place to hide and wait for one month until he was teleported out.
Jiang Yi was very careful this time. It didn’t matter if Zi Fengtian was Yin Ruobing’s subordinate, he wasn’t going to give Yin Ruobing another chance to test him. He could scout to his limits, and he would do it every half a day. Even if someone wanted to approach him, it would be extremely different.
Five days later, Jiang Yi and the group had discovered five cities ruins; and they had all been searched thoroughly. They did encounter some familiar people like Ling Qijian, Tu Long, and the others. Jiang Yi might be wishing to kill Tu Long, but without the ability to release the Fury of Thunder, he had gotten the group to avoid them long before they could approach.
“Eh? There are tall mountains on both sides at the front? There is a valley in the center?”
On the sixth day, Jiang Yi conducted his routine scouting and discovered a strange landform. The Purgatory Ruin didn’t have many tall mountains and mountain peaks that were taller than 300 meters were extremely rare. These two mountains were very large, and if they were going to detour around it, it would probably take two to three days. It was impossible to climb up the surface of the mountain. Let alone Jiang Yi, not even Sister Xing would dare to do so. The higher it was, the stronger the astral winds.
After scouting for a few times, Jiang Yi opened his eyes and explained the situation. He then proposed with a little concern. “That valley is very deep, and I reckon that will be danger in there. Shall we detour it?”
“Wind Absolute Valley?”
Yin Ruobing, Sister Xing, and the others all lit up. Sister Xing waved his hand and said, “Let’s go quickly and don’t let others reach that place first. The Wind Absolute Valley has the Jewel Divine Silkworm!”
“Jewel Divine Silkworm?” Jiang Yi frowned and looked at Yin Ruobing.
“Let’s speak as we move!”
Yin Ruobing waved her hand and ordered everyone to advance with their fastest speed while she explained along the way. “The Purgatory Ruin has many mystical landforms. This Wind Absolute Valley and that Lava Lake are two of them. According to the clan’s records, there is a type of Divine Silkworm inside the Wind Absolute Valley. It doesn’t spit silk but a type of silkworm serum. This silkworm serum is a treasure for the soul spirit. It couldn’t enhance the soul spirit, but it would evolve the soul spirit. It is a priceless treasure for martial artists who are adept at soul spirit attacks.”
“Silkworm serum? Evolving the soul spirit?”
Jiang Yi’s brows lifted. Wasn’t this time the same as the Butterfly Lady Race’s Butterfly’s Spring? His twelve soul swords had evolved and doubled in speed. It would be rather good to obtain some of this silkworm serum. He didn’t know if Yin Ruobing would share any with him after they obtained it.
