“Damn, this soul sword is so powerful!”
Jiang Yi scared himself, too. This was his first time triggering the soul swords at full force after they evolved. Never did he expect that they worked so well and killed two peak-stage Heaven Monarchs right away.
Although these two peak-stage Heaven Monarchs shouldn’t be very powerful and were the kind of martial artists that promoted themselves by comprehending a lot of low-grade dao patterns, they were still peak-stage Heaven Monarchs.
“The speed has been increased by three times. Even the slow three-star martial experts can’t dodge it, right?”
Jiang Yi became excited. This soul sword was so powerful and was his another mighty means of attack, besides the Divine Sound Heaven Skill and Fury of Thunder. The only pity was that he had very few dark gold soul swords. There were only three dark gold ones and 13 gold ones. After they were used, he would be left with none.
He could find Hu Danni and ask for the butterfly’s spring, but he couldn’t get more divine silkworms. Thus, there were only three dark gold soul swords.
“I shouldn’t use the dark gold soul swords in the future until it is the last resort. It is such a pity to have it destroyed.”
Jiang Yi warned himself in the mind. He paused, flew to the lakeside, and detected the surroundings with Divine Perception. He was relieved to be certain that She Fei, Yi Chan, and their groups were gone.
He didn’t return to the magma lake. He sat cross-legged at the same place and carried on the search to see whether the magma continued to erupt. As for the two dead She Clan’s martial experts, they already melted to ashes by the magma, along with the treasures on them. Jiang Yi didn’t pay attention to them.
He got the Fire-Snake Orchid!
Jiang Yi freed himself from the mental burden. At least, he had finished one of the things that he promised to Ao Lu, and Qianqian could be treated. He could plan the rest of the things slowly. Even if he couldn’t take Wu Ni and Ji Tingyu down this time, he would do so next time.
After waiting for one hour, the magma lake erupted again. This time, the eruption was extremely turbulent. Magma shot up to the sky 300 meters above the ground, with magma falling over all over the place.
Jiang Yi found a snowy three-leaf lotus flower in the magma. Once he smelled the lotus flower, his whole body felt warm and comfortable.
“Great item!”
He didn’t know the use of this three-leaf lotus flower, but he was certain that it was precious. He shot over towards the lotus flower in the lake center.
“Eh?”
Once he was close to the three-leaf lotus flower, it flew down to the lake as though it were alive. It was very fast with leaves trembling slightly and appeared that it didn’t want to be caught by Jiang Yi.
“Trying to flee?!”
Jiang Yi sneered and sped up. He sprinted straight to the magma lake and snatched the lotus flower single-handedly. Then, he flew up again.
“What’s this spirit herb? What’s its use?”
Inhaling the pleasant smell and looking at the shaking lotus flower, Jiang Yi wondered. He was totally oblivious of such things and didn’t care about it. He tossed in straight to the Ancient Divine Essence Ring and planned to ask people about it when he got out.
He sat near the magma lake for four hours, there were no more eruptions. All the spirit herbs should be gone. Jiang Yi waited for two more hours and made sure that there was no more eruption. Then, he got up and left.
Only eight days had passed, Jiang Yi successfully obtained the Fire-Snake Orchid. Naturally, he wouldn’t just sit idly. He still had more than twenty days left. He was going to strolling in the ruins and see whether he would meet Wu Ni and Ji Tingyu.
He had the Divine Perception sorcery arts. He would be able to avoid all the people as long as he was careful. If he saw Wu Ni and his group, he would follow them and think of ways to kill them.
He changed back to the look of the young man in white using the Mirage Divine Ability and turned on the dragon flame divine shield, moving forward slowly. His dragon flame divine shield was too vulnerable and broke every few kilometers. He had to turn on the divine shield again and didn’t risk going too fast. Moreover, he had to enter the state of the Union of Heaven and Man constantly to check the astral winds.
Every eight hours, he would release the Divine Perception sorcery art to detect the surrounding situations… in order to avoid Tu Long, She Fei, and their men. He also had to rest for one hour after traveling for one day. Otherwise, it would be too much of a drain on his soul spirit and very troublesome once he encountered strong enemies.
He stopped from time to time.
Jiang Yi wandered around for three days and found two ruins. Unfortunately, there was nothing in the ruins. He saw She Fei again, but She Fei had too many people with men. Jiang Yi didn’t dare to go closer and kept away from him using Divine Perception sorcery arts.
“Er? These two girls again?”
On the fifth day, Jiang Yi detected that Yin Ruobing and Yin Ruobing were 250 kilometers away, and they were heading towards him.
He paused and decided not to see them. These two beauties were too attractive. The longer that he stayed with them, the greater the danger that he would be exposed. Thus, he turned around decisively and headed in another direction.
Fairy young ladies were always wooed by fine young men!
Especially in this patriarchal society, it was common for a man to have many wives. It was not strange for one to marry 3000 beauties. Jiang Yi was a normal man and desired pretty girls. However, he was more aware of his purpose in coming to the East Imperial Continent. With his relationship with the Nine Thearch Clans—if he carried on entangling with these two women, he would be doomed.
To his slight disappointment—!
He wandered for seven days and spent half a month in the Purgatory Ruin, but he hadn’t seen Wu Ni and Ji Tingyu who seemed to vanish or die a long time ago. He detected the presence of many people over the past 15 days, but there was no news from either of them.
“I will find them for five more days. If I still can’t, I will find a place to lie in ambush and wait for the deadline.”
Jiang Yi made up his mind and continued to march forward. It was tiring to walk in this place, despite resting for one hour every day.
There were a lot of city remains in the Purgatory Ruin, but over 700,000 years had passed, countless people came in. Therefore, there was nothing but skeletons in many city remains. Jiang Yi was getting impatient.
…
He continued to stroll around for five more days and found four new remains. However, he got nothing and decided to rest on the spot. He was so slow that he wouldn’t travel more than 500 thousand kilometers in 10 days. It was meaningless to continue the search.
During these five days, he found Ye Ying, Tu Long, Ling Qijian and his sister, and several descendants of the ancient clans. However… there was just no trace of Wu Ni and Ji Tingyu.
“A small col is over there. I will rest there!” He looked through the surroundings and found a good place. He released the dragon flame divine shield and ran quickly. It took him two hours to arrive at the col.
Buzz!
He took out the black iron sword and dug a hole next to the mountain. He spent ten minutes making a big hole in the ground, which he buried himself in. He searched the place and made sure that no one was nearby, and then he closed his eyes and rested.
Jiang Yi slept for a good five hours. After he woke up, he didn’t go out. He was going to explore this place and begin cultivating in this underground hole.
“Divine Perception!”
Releasing the Divine Perception, he began the search. When his divine perception reached a small mountain over 350 kilometers away, he suddenly quaked. There were 70 people under that small mountain. He saw three familiar faces—Jian Wuying, Wu Ni, and Ji Tingyu!
Bang!
He shot from the underground hole like a sharp sword, and his body was overwhelmed with killing aura. Since he spotted Wu Ni and Ji Tingyu, he naturally wouldn’t do anything. Even though he was outnumbered, he could follow them. Maybe, he had a chance to take the two down!
