“Wuu-wuu-wuu!”
Just as Jiang Yi was contemplating, the sky in the east echoed with a strange sound again. Feng Luan’s eyes took a look, and her body suddenly shook. She quickly pulled Jiang Yi down into a p.r.o.ne position which shocked Jiang Yi as he didn’t even dare another look.
There was another individual that flew over from the eastern sky, and he looked very young—around the age of 17 or 18. His attire was very frightening, and he wasn’t flying either. He was standing on an artifact which looked like a giant strange beast’s skull. The beast skull was at least ten meters in diameter and was flowing with a black light. There were dark gray wordings that were flowing on it, and before the skull even got near, an evil wind blew over which caused Jiang Yi and Feng Luan’s scalp to go numb.
This youth was wearing strange clothing as he was wearing a red gown as a man. His hair was filled with tiny braids, and his neck had a necklace made of unknown beast’s bones. He looked very das.h.i.+ng, but a pity that his eyes were filled with an ominous glow. Feng Luan merely took a single glance and didn’t dare to look anymore as she was afraid she might attract this person’s attention and unnecessary trouble.
“Hmph!”
Afterward, that strange youth suddenly snorted which sounded like a thunderous explosion by Jiang Yi and Feng Luan’s ears, causing Jiang Yi’s eardrum to bleed. Feng Luan’s eyes had a flash of murderous intent, but Jiang Yi quickly grabbed her hand, indicating for her to not be reckless. This youth might not have an aura presence of a Heaven Monarch expert, but he was very strange and might be cultivating some evil art. It was best to endure and not cause any commotion.
Fortunately, this individual didn’t really mind about Jiang Yi and Feng Luan. Perhaps he was in a hurry to look for artifacts; hence, he flew towards the northwest on the giant skull which whizzed with evil winds.
“Young Master, are you alright?”
Feng Luan took out a handkerchief and gently helped Jiang Yi to wipe off the blood from his ear. Seeing Jiang Yi shake his hand, she asked with concern, “Young Master, are you thinking of s.n.a.t.c.hing the Dest.i.tute Dragon Gra.s.s?”
“Keke, I can only think about it.”
Jiang Yi laughed bitterly. That Mystic Thearch Divine Palace had a name that indicated how extraordinary it was. If so many of the prestigious clan’s young masters and young ladies from the East Imperial Continent had gone there—coupled with the Pegasus Continent’s experts and the likelihood of Umbra Continent sending people as well, it was definitely a gathering of experts at the Mystic Thearch Divine Palace. It was hard to say if he could even make it in there. Even if he could go into the divine palace, what was he going to use to s.n.a.t.c.h with others?
Taking ten thousand steps back…
Even if he managed to s.n.a.t.c.h the Dest.i.tute Dragon Gra.s.s, he would definitely be pursued by the various experts. A mere Young Master Fei Tian was already enough to make him flee like a dog. If he was pursued by all those prestigious clan’s descendants, he would have to die even if he flew to the sky or hid underground.
However…
The Dest.i.tute Dragon Gra.s.s was such a divine herb, and it only appeared once every ten thousand years. Every stalk would probably be fought for by various experts. Even if he couldn’t obtain this one and managed to encounter another one with heaven-defying luck, wouldn’t he still have to watch helplessly?
Without the Dest.i.tute Dragon Gra.s.s, his ruined body would never be able to improve. Without cleansing his marrows and veins, he wouldn’t be able to continue cultivating. Back when his third star sphere mutated, his essence force nearly went berserk and killed him. If he was to continue cultivating to transform the fourth star sphere, he would definitely die from his body exploding.
Flesh is the root, essence force is the source, and soul spirit is the foundation!
None of the three aspects must be lacking. If his essence force didn’t reach a certain realm, he wouldn’t be able to produce any power even if he could comprehend an ultimate grade dao pattern and would be stuck at the Vajra Realm for his until life.
He and the Martial Arts Hall were nemeses, and Jiang Bieli had died in the Martial Arts Hall’s hand. The revenge of the killing of his father must be served. Su Ruoxue had been taken by Ji Tingyu to the East Imperial Continent. She was the woman he most loved, and he had to save her. With his measly strength, what use could he have even if he managed to reach the East Imperial Continent?
Thus, he had this urgency to obtain the Dest.i.tute Dragon Gra.s.s. Right now… one had appeared, but he had to look on helplessly, which caused this bitter agony in his heart.
“Forget it. Better not take the rest as it is too dangerous. It is fine if I am to die, but Xiaonu, Wushuang, w.a.n.guan, and the others are going to die along with me. I better go to the East Imperial Continent and look for Yu Wen first.”
Jiang Yi ultimately made his decision. Of course, he had this excessive expectation in his heart that Yi Piaopiao was still alive. If he could successfully find her, he might be able to request for her help to rescue Su Ruoxue. He could slowly take his time for the search of the Dest.i.tute Dragon Gra.s.s and revenge.
Yi Piaopiao had mysterious origins, and it didn’t matter if she was the daughter of Yi Qianfo, she definitely had an extraordinary background. Jiang Yi wouldn’t feel ashamed to rely on his own mother since he was facing the ma.s.sive Martial Arts Hall, the North Thearch Wu Shang!
Since it had been decided, Jiang Yi didn’t think so much anymore. After waiting for a moment and seeing that no one else came, he instructed Feng Luan that he was going to release his Divine Perception to check the surroundings just in case.
His Divine Perception expanded out limitlessly like a breeze extending out in all directions.
Thirty minutes later, he opened his eyes and gestured. “Let’s go to the seaside. It is very safe now.”
“Young Master, we are not s.n.a.t.c.hing the Dest.i.tute Dragon Gra.s.s?”
Feng Luan saw how Jiang Yi was at a loss earlier. She hesitated and clenched her teeth and said, “If Young Master really wants it, Feng Luan will risk her life to get it for you.”
“Uh?”
Jiang Yi’s heart s.h.i.+vered. This was the second time Feng Luan took the initiative to do something for him; furthermore, she was prepared to risk her life. Jiang Yi felt indescribably touched and smiled lightly. He reached his hand and patted on Feng Luan’s shoulder and spoke sincerely, “Feng’er, there is no need. Thank you. Let’s go.”
Hearing how resolute Jiang Yi was, Feng Luan didn’t say much before she quickly carried him and flew towards the seaside. The two of them were originally not far from the sea, and in just four hours, the Flying Shadow Sea was in sight.
This Flying Shadow Sea was just like the Flying Beast Sea. It was an inland sea which was separated by two continents. It wasn’t considered large, and it didn’t have much powerful sea demons. The seaside was filled with the Pegasus Empire’s soldiers and had a much stricter defense than the western seaside. On the opposite side of the sea was the Umbra Continent, and the Umbra Empire’s strength was on a similar level as the Pegasus Empire.
“Let’s go out to the sea!”
Jiang Yi used his divine senses to scout and quickly found a route. He didn’t have any hesitation as he asked Feng Luan to bring him towards the sea.
Once they ventured out to the sea, the two of them didn’t stop at all. Feng Luan carried Jiang Yi and detoured around the patrol teams and flew into the deep sea region. After making sure that no other patrol teams were around, Jiang Yi asked Feng Luan to go to the bottom of the sea before they entered the Thearch Palace to rest.
After continuous travel for several days and now completely out of danger, the two of them were completely at ease. They each found a room in the Thearch Palace and went into a deep sleep.
After sleeping for 16 hours, Jiang Yi gradually woke up. The first thing he did was to release the Divine Perception and check the surroundings. After everything was safe, he then used his divine senses to check the situation in the Thearch Palace.
Jiang Xiaonu actually went into seclusion? Could she have some comprehension? If she could comprehend the second stage of the Ink Feather Divine Art, she might be able to reach the strength of a Heaven Monarch after her transformation. Jiang Yi was looking forward to it.
Yun Fei’s doors were shut tightly, and she also seemed to have gone cultivating or studying the sorcery arts and restrictions. Zhan Wushuang and Qian w.a.n.guan’s doors were still shut, which made Jiang Yi very satisfied, especially towards Qian w.a.n.guan. That fatty had always felt that cultivation was a ch.o.r.e, and if he could go into seclusion for such a long time, it seemed like he was serious this time.
The little fox was also asleep while the Yazi Beast was snoring in a large hall. Jiang Yi divine senses ultimately stopped at Feng Luan’s room. The doors weren’t closed, and the restrictions weren’t on either. Feng Luan had already woken up and was having some small talks with Qing Yu.
Buzz!
The restriction in Jiang Yi’s room flashed as he vanished and appeared in front of Feng Luan and Qing Yu. He had refined the Thearch Palace and could control the restrictions in here to teleport anywhere he wanted.
“Young Master!”
Feng Luan and Qing Yu got a shock and quickly got up. Jiang Yi shook his hand and smiled. “From today onwards, you don’t have to call me Young Master anymore. You are no longer my soul slave, and I shall return your freedom. You can go home now.”
