After confirming the target, Jiang Yi studied the nearby terrain carefully. After complementing it with the green-clothed lady’s information, he finally decided with the location to start the battle. It was 50,000 miles towards the east of Flood Martial City, in Camel Mountain

Strictly speaking, the Camel Mountain was a mountain range, and it extended for thousands of miles. Plenty of small bandit legions were also hidden inside. Battles frequently happened in this place, and it wouldn’t attract a huge commotion. Even if the Flood Martial City’s people received the news, they would need at least one or two days before rus.h.i.+ng over. By then, Jiang Yi would have already escaped without leaving a trace.

According to Wu Ni’s travel route, he would have to travel across Camel Mountain in order to reach Flood Martial City. Camel Mountain had many bandit legions, and Wu Ni’s 10,000 men would be spread out to scout and make sure no one disturbed Wu Ni, allowing Jiang Yi to face lesser resistance.

Since Jiang Yi had made the decision, he wasn’t going to think so much.

He had ordered the green-clothed lady to send men to investigate the Flood Martial City immediately. They locked onto Wu Ying’er’s personal aide, the old slave Wu Gang’s position. Jiang Yi had to meet with Wu Gang in order to make certain of his soul spirit aura presence, voice, and manner of speech. At the same time, Jiang Yi had to imitate his actions and behavior so that he wouldn’t be exposed so easily.

Time was pressing, and he didn’t have time to go appraise the spirit herbs inside his ancient divine essence ring. He quickly stood up and rode the Heaven Fate s.h.i.+p to Flood Martial City.

When he arrived inside the Flood Martial City, the green-clothed lady had already arrived and had obtained accurate information. Wu Gang liked to watch operas in the theater during nighttime, and Jiang Yi could blend inside the theater to secretly observe Wu Gang.

As night arrived. Jiang Yi had been waiting inside Flood Martial City for an entire day and had headed for the city’s largest theater before it was even dark. He sat in a corner and waited for Wu Gang to appear.

The opera was local. There were two white-faced shengs

singing some unknown song, and they sounded very lady-like. Jiang Yi was getting gooseb.u.mps all over as he listened.

After waiting for one hour, a group of people flocked inside; and those guards were all arrogant and overbearing. As soon as they entered, they scanned with ferocious eyes and even pushed away some people directly.

Jiang Yi took a glance and squinted his eyes. Wu Gang had arrived, and he was wearing a gray robe. His head was lifted high up as though he was afraid no one knew he was very intimidating.

“Lord Gang, you have come!”

The theater’s chief supervisor hurried over and welcomed with a smile. Wu Gang’s eyes didn’t even look at the supervisor as he strolled forward and walked to a solitary seat before watching the stage. He spoke with a strange tone, “Why is Xiaobai not on stage today? Quickly get him on stage. I miss his play very much.”

“Right away, right away!”

The chief supervisor bent over and smiled apologetically. He waved his hand lightly, and the two white-faced shengs immediately backed off. A handsome white-faced sheng walked onto the stage quickly. He walked and sang a popular song while looking at Wu Gang with slanted eyes and had actually cast a coquettish glance.

“Bah!”

When Jiang Yi saw Wu Gang looking face-to-face with the white-faced sheng and actually had eyes of adoration, Jiang Yi instantly felt as disgusted as though he had eaten ten houseflies. This Wu Gang was actually an old gay and like men.

“Great, great singing, reward, quickly reward him!”

Wu Gang voiced echoed out like a rooster, and Jiang Yi nearly vomited after listening. He carefully sensed Wu Gang’s soul spirit aura presence and quickly left as he couldn’t stand it anymore.

Jiang Yi had thoroughly remembered Wu Gang’s soul spirit aura presence, and he could easily imitate his voice while his appearance could be altered with ease. People of this combat level had powerful soul spirits, and it was too easy to remember such things.

“Alright, report to the upper echelons. Tell them that all of you must not act without instructions for this matter. If anything happened to me, just get the upper echelons to report the news back. Tell them I am dead, and I have no regrets for my actions.”

Jiang Yi transmitted a message to the green-clothed lady and headed out of Flood Martial City. The wilderness during the nighttime was very dangerous, but he still did so regardless of it. When he headed out, his body naturally revealed a trace of killing aura as though he was an a.s.sa.s.sin that was going to kill an emperor and was completely prepared to risk everything.

Swis.h.!.+

As it got deeper into the night, Jiang Yi’s speed got faster, and he was flying. He was flying 10 meters in the sky and circulating the Nameless Divine Art, constantly absorbing the astral winds. He required a huge amount of astral winds, and so he was planning to fly directly to Camel Mountains during these few days and continuously absorb astral winds during the night.

Of course!

He didn’t dare to fly too high, as he wouldn’t know if there were any ambushes nearby. If he flew too high, he would cause a commotion while flying at 10 meters wouldn’t have such an impact. Jiang Yi had entered the Union of Heaven and Man state while scouting the surroundings.

After flying for a night, he didn’t encounter anyone. During daybreak, Jiang Yi rested at a small mountain. He sat cross-legged and released the Divine Perception, and after making sure no one was around, astral winds were released in a steady flow and quickly condensing. He waved his hand and yelled out, “Go!”

A cool breeze flew out as the astral winds condensed into an ugly battle saber and flew forward. It then quietly buried into the small mountain at the front.

The small mountain didn’t have any movements until the astral wind blade flew past it. The top section of the small mountain suddenly trembled and slid off, cras.h.i.+ng into the ground.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The ground was shaking, smoke was spiraling, and shards of rocks were flying in all directions. Jiang Yi scanned the top of the mountain with his divine senses and saw a flat plateau. He grinned silently while thinking that this astral wind blade was too incredible and could easily split a mountain peak without using too much energy.

Most importantly… the astral wind blade didn’t disintegrate, and it meant that he had fused it flawlessly.

“Go!”

Jiang Yi casually swung his hand and controlled the astral wind blades to fly in the surrounding. Everywhere the astral wind blades flew across, patches of trees would be severed by the waist, and boulders would be cleanly split into two. Two nearby small mountains were split apart by Jiang Yi. The ground was rumbling nonstop, and smoke covered the sky, leaving behind devastation.

Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+

Jiang Yi then blasted out a few essence force to turn the surrounding mountain peaks in a mess to prevent anyone from seeing this scene. After making the place into a mess, he continued to advance.

“Should I try to activate the Smelting Divine Furnace?”

After sprinting for two hours, Jiang Yi suddenly paused. The Smelting Divine Furnace was his most powerful treasure. If he could activate it, even if he couldn’t capture Wu Ni, he would still be able to kill a group of experts with ease and retreat.

Doing it as soon as he thought about it. Jiang Yi first scouted the surrounding thousand miles radius to make sure no one was around, and he took out the Smelting Divine Furnace.

Buzz!

A giant stone furnace appeared after his ancient divine essence ring flashed. The Smelting Divine Furnace didn’t have any aura presence now and looked no different from a block of stone. Jiang Yi gradually poured his essence force in, and the Smelting Divine Furnace reacted and emitted a faint glow while the runic patterns were faintly discernible.

“It is very hard to activate indeed!”

After pouring in hundreds of wisps of essence force, the Smelting Divine Furnace was getting brighter, but there was no reaction. The lid of the furnace didn’t even have ripples. Jiang Yi had obtained the information from the Smelting Divine Furnace. Only by opening the lid of the furnace would he have considered activating the Smelting Divine Furnace.

“Continue to pour in!”

Jiang Yi gritted his teeth and continued to pour essence force inside. However, he was extremely disappointed. No matter how much essence force he poured inside, the radiance of the Smelting Divine Furnace didn’t grow brighter; and the lid of the furnace wasn’t moving at all. With his current essence force realm, he was still unable to activate the Smelting Divine Furnace.

“Do I have to pour in the power of stars?”

Jiang Yi was having a headache. The power of stars was extremely precious, and it would be gone after he poured it inside. Right now, there were no enemies around, and why would he even activate the Smelting Divine Furnace? What if he couldn’t activate it after pouring in his power of stars? Wouldn’t it be in vain?”

“Sigh, I shall go to Camel Mountain first!”

After pouring in his essence force for another moment later, and seeing no reaction, Jiang Yi stored the Smelting Divine Furnace helplessly. There was still a few days before Wu Ni arrived. Jiang Yi had to scout the terrain of Camel Mountain first and make his battle preparations so he could intercept and kill them at any time.
