Chapter 1647: Covering the Sky with an Enormous Net

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Once Jiang Yi managed to throw the pursuing King-Ranked martial artists off his trail, Jiang Yi was like a dragon returning to the sea. No one could find him anymore.

The Chaos Sea was just too vast; more importantly, divine senses could not be used here—not even Dao Leng’s were effective. The unique spatial zone restrictions here prevent divine senses from working. Without divine senses, they couldn’t find Jiang Yi even if they had the Mercury Stones and could use Spatial Zone Turbulence attacks.

Jiang Yi’s speed was not bad; he could easily evade the searching scouts while there were only that many King-Ranked formidable martial artists around. How could ordinary scouts detect him? Furthermore, even if they did, he could do as he had done before and charge into a city and attack, then taking advantage of the subsequent chaos to flee.

“What is the situation?”

Poison Spirit’s spatial divine item was a small palace. Jiang Yi and Qi Qingchen were seated inside as the latter asked Jiang Yi immediately.

Although Jiang Yi was very tired—now that Qi Qingchen had asked him, he could only gather some energy to explain the current situation to her. After hearing it, Qi Qingchen sighed as she stood up. Suddenly, her brows rose as she said, “Jiang Yi, have you thought of the possibility that there might be an ambush on Ethereal Spirit Island? Why is it that although they know the Ethereal Spirit Island is our only way back to the Earth Domain, they aren’t blocking our path there?”

“Do we have a choice even if there is an ambush waiting for us?”

Jiang Yi smiled bitterly as he said, “All the islands are guarded; we do not have a place to hide and will be found out sooner or later. I have killed so many people this time; the Heaven Domain might have even sent a Pseudo Thearch-Ranked formidable martial artist here. Our only hope is to reach the Ethereal Spirit Island as soon as possible and teleport back home.”

Qi Qingchen’s brows furrowed. She seemed to want to say something; seeing Jiang Yi’s tired face, she waved her hand and replied, “Take a good rest first. I will wake you if anything happens.”

“Alright!”

Within a few seconds, Jiang Yi was fast asleep and even began to snore; his snore was deafening. Qi Qingchen did not find him noisy. In fact, she looked at Jiang Yi in a daze as her expression was rather complicated.

She recalled the first time she had met Jiang Yi was in the Dao Heaven Mystic Realm. That time, Jiang Yi had also slept like this and was snoring gently. Jiang Yi’s level of attainment back then was very low; she had initially detested Jiang Yi a little. After that, when she managed to realize quintessence because of Jiang Yi, their fate had then intertwined.

She had witnessed Jiang Yi’s progression and rise step by step. Jiang Yi was like a comet rising; within a short amount of time, he had done so many earth-shattering things. She had never experienced so many things in her entire life as compared to what she did with Jiang Yi in such a short time.

A young ascendant had within a few months experienced things that many had never in hundreds of years. Not only had he killed King-Ranked formidable martial artists; he had even dared to kill a Heaven Domain prestigious clan’s young master. Even her majesty father, Phantom King, or Earth Emanations Sovereign would not dare to do so, right?

Her relationship with Jiang Yi had become rather close. Of course, even at this point, she had not thought of Jiang Yi as her most ideal partner. She had a knot in her heart that she could not untie: her relationship with Yi Piaopiao. Jiang Yi was Yi Piaopiao’s son. Although in Earth Domain terms, she was still a young lady while Jiang Yi was a young man.

“Sigh, I’m not going to think about this now; we might not even be alive soon!”

Qi Qingchen sighed gently. Although things had escalated to this level, she did not regret anything. One could not turn back time. From the day she had decided to come to the Demon-Killing Palace, Qi Qingchen had already thought of the worst possible outcome. For a martial artist—if they were constantly afraid of death, they would never be destined for greatness.

Although they had not gotten that many treasures this time in the Demon-Killing Palace, Jiang Yi had given her a Primitive Spiritual Treasure battle armor while she had realized the Five Hundred Kilometer Accelerator. Qi Qingchen was already very satisfied. All that was left was to see if they could make it back to the Earth Domain safely.

…

Jiang Yi slept for more than twenty hours this time. After he woke up, he was very refreshed. However, he did not immediately ask Poison Spirit to let him out. Poison Spirit’s temperament was rather calm and composed. Since Poison Spirit had not said anything to the two of them, that meant that all was well outside.

Jiang Yi immediately sat cross-legged to cultivate as he tried to accumulate more Power of Heaven and Earth. Every second was precious, and his Power of Heaven and Earth was more or less used up. Without the Power of Heaven and Earth, Jiang Yi would not be able to control the mummy. If they encountered a huge group of King-Ranked formidable martial artists, the three would perish.

Buzz!

After Jiang Yi cultivated for the better part of a day, a huge suction came onto him and Qi Qingchen as the duo’s eyes were dazzling as they were sent outside. Jiang Yi was instantly on the alert as he sent out his mummy and looked around.

“Young Lord, don’t worry! All is well!”

Poison Spirit’s voice rang out. Jiang Yi nodded as he took out his Chaos Essence Pearl and kept Poison Spirit and Qi Qingchen inside. Poison Spirit looked very tired, and it was evident he was spent and needed to rest.

Swish!

After cultivating for the better part of a day and having accumulated some Power of Heaven and Earth, Jiang Yi was more confident now as his body transformed into a sharp sword and continued on his way. As he flew, his body became transparent as he used the Art of Concealment and disappeared within the fog.

Eh… something is amiss!

Jiang Yi traveled for two hours before realizing that something was wrong. In those two hours, he had not encountered a single scout while the number of people on the islands he had passed by had lessened. The cities’ restrictions, however, were still activated.

Without a doubt, something was amiss!

Jiang Yi was a little hesitant. The Dao Clan couldn’t possibly have retreated; why were they not blocking his way then and allowing him to go to the Ethereal Spirit Island? Could it be as Qi Qingchen had guessed and there was an ambush on Ethereal Spirit Island, a trap waiting for Jiang Yi to enter?

If a few hundred King-Ranked martial artists were waiting at Ethereal Spirit Island, Jiang Yi would definitely die if he headed there. Jiang Yi was deep in thought for a while as he finally decided to take a risk and catch two guards to ask them about the situation.

Although the people on the islands closest to Jiang Yi had lessened by a lot, there were still some people patrolling. Jiang Yi decided that even if he exposed himself, he could always rush into another small city, cause havoc, and escape amidst the chaos.

Jiang Yi took a few spins around as he locked onto an island. After making sure the city on that island could easily be penetrated, he made his move.

Jiang Yi did not attack recklessly but surveyed the island first. There were ten-odd people on the island, and they were split into two waves. Jiang Yi thought about it: since he would be discovered even if he took just one or two men, he decided to kill or capture all of them. That way, news of his appearance would be delayed at the very least.

Jiang Yi silently neared the six or seven men to the south of the island as his mummy suddenly appeared, and he surfaced and jumped on top of it. The mummy shot forward as the six or seven men were momentarily stunned as someone took out a messaging jade talisman and was about to send a message.

“Die—”

Jiang Yi did not intend to let them live. The mummy transformed into a shadow as it clawed furiously at the two soldiers that were about to send messages as their brains exploded. The mummy’s leg kicked forward as the remaining men were all sent flying, with two of them having their brains kicked out and another two suffering severe injuries and fainting.

“Not bad…”

Jiang Yi was very satisfied with the mummy’s speed and attacking power. However, these An Clan scouts were only God Thearchs; Jiang Yi himself could have easily killed them, much less the mummy.

Swish!

Jiang Yi flew over as he killed the two severely wounded soldiers as he then sent out a few low-grade flames to incinerate all the bodies. He then rushed towards the other side of the island.

This side was even easier to handle. No one was outside the island. As the city had activated its restrictions, it did not know what was happening outside at all. Jiang Yi retrieved his guqin as he played it furiously while the mummy attacked and killed a few men. The remaining three soldiers’ divine cores were also crippled by Jiang Yi as he took out his interspatial ring and tossed the three into his Chaos Essence Pearl.

“Poison Spirit, interrogate them. Ask them why there are so few people blocking our way to the Ethereal Spirit Island? Is there a plot? Is there an ambush at Ethereal Spirit Island? Force them to say everything they know.”

Jiang Yi brought Poison Spirit out and gave him his orders as he sent Poison Spirit into his Chaos Essence Pearl again. He then used flames to incinerate the remaining bodies as he swiftly flew away and hid himself.

More than ten scouts had suddenly disappeared. This matter was bound to be known and reported to the higher-ups. Jiang Yi had to leave this place as fast as possible to prevent from being surrounded and killed.
