“What? Old Qi has been killed?”
“No one could stop Jiang Yi?”
“Jiang Yi has made it to Feng Xue Island?”
One by one, the messages came in. Countless King-Ranked martial artists who had been rushing to assist in the battle were dumbfounded. The clan heads of the four great clans had been together when they heard Jiang Yi’s message for them. There was not even a hint of fear; instead, all of them were enraged.
They had the support of the prestigious clans of the Heaven Domain. The Dao Clan was the An Clan’s pillar. It was one thing for Jiang Yi to embarrass the prestigious clans of the Heaven Domain, but now, he had even killed one of the martial artists of the Chaos Sea?
Immediately, the four clan heads found a nearby island and teleported the rest of the way. When they got to the north of the Random Star Islands, they waited for Jiang Yi to fly towards them. The four clan heads even sent messages to the Dao Clan and other prestigious clans of the Heaven Domain, asking them to send men to teleport through the islands and attack Jiang Yi from the front.
However—
By the time countless other King-Ranked martial artists rushed to the north of the islands, Jiang Yi turned and headed towards the west. On the journey, he killed three King-Ranked martial artists and seriously injured another one. Among those killed was an elder from the Dao Clan.
The mummy was moving extremely quickly. Jiang Yi guessed that he was even faster than more than half of the hundreds of King-Ranked martial artists in the Chaos Sea. They were surrounded by thick clouds, and too many people were sending messages. One moment, Jiang Yi was headed in this direction. The next moment, he had changed direction. All four clan heads were at a loss as to what to do. Each time they received a new message, more time was wasted. By the time they teleported over, they were told that Jiang Yi was headed towards the east.
Nevertheless, a few King-Ranked martial artists were already hot on Jiang Yi’s trail. They were traveling at the same speed as Jiang Yi. No matter which direction he changed to, they followed closely behind him.
As long as they remained behind him, where could Jiang Yi run to?
Slowly, more and more King-Ranked martial artists trailed behind Jiang Yi. Many people teleported until they were near him and then stopped teleporting. As fast as they could, they charged at Jiang Yi and remained behind him.
The clan heads of the four great clans had already caught up. They were quite far away, trailing tens of kilometers behind Jiang Yi. In actual fact, it was not that they could not keep up with Jiang Yi. At least two of the four great clans’ clan heads were faster than Jiang Yi’s mummy. They were lagging behind because… they were afraid!
Only an hour had passed since Jiang Yi teleported out of the palace, and more than a hundred thousand ordinary God Thearchs had already been killed. Nine of the King-Ranked martial artists died, and four of them were seriously injured.
Jiang Yi’s Thousand Illusory Hands, when used together with his Merged Flames, were too frightening. What’s more, the mummy was too aggressive. The three elders of the An Clan were wearing Primitive Spiritual Treasure battle armors, and yet they were all killed with a single blow. The four clan heads were frightened by this because… they also only had Primitive Spiritual Treasures as battle armors.
Anyone would cherish their lives, and anyone would feel fear.
The Dao Clan had sent so many formidable martial artists over. Even Dao Leng, the third most powerful person of the Dao Clan and a Pseudo Thearch-Ranked martial artist was here. Of course, the four clan heads did not dare to put their lives on the land. They wanted the Dao Clan’s martial artists and those of the other prestigious clans to do the hard work while they trailed behind and packed up the mess.
Many people were starting to realize who the mummy was: it was the mummy of a formidable martial artist of the Mighty God Race. What’s more, this mummy was even stronger than any of the mummies in the prestigious clans of the Heaven Domain. They guessed that this mummy had been cultivated for a long time after one of the lords of the Mighty God Race passed on. It was obvious that Jiang Yi had obtained this mummy from the Demon-Killing Palace. They just did not know how Jiang Yi managed to refine it.
After the news reached Dao Leng, Dao Leng remained where he was. All he did was instruct the rest of the Dao Clan’s disciples to continue killing.
However, he also told them not to get too close to him. Dao Leng was sure that Jiang Yi would not be able to continue controlling the mummy for long. He also instructed the army to retreat, so that no more lives would be lost unnecessarily.
When the clan heads of the four great clans received these orders, they heaved a huge sigh of relief. At once, they ordered the army to retreat and return to their respective islands. Then, they activated the restrictions around the cities and stood guard there.
Two hours later, more King-Ranked martial artists were hot on Jiang Yi’s trail. There were almost three hundred of them now, and even more of them were rushing over.
All of them had heard Dao Leng’s orders and were trailing behind Jiang Yi. Whatever they did, they could not afford to lose sight of him.
“There’s an expert!”
Jiang Yi was already more than five hundred thousand kilometers away from the Demon-Killing Palace. Suddenly, he realized that there was no one blocking his way anymore. However, he also realized that there was not just one person on his trail, but many, many people behind him.
It was obvious what they were trying to do. An expert noticed that he would not be able to control the mummy for long. The group behind him was waiting for him to run out of the Power of Heaven and Earth before they launched a combined attack against him. By then, they would easily be able to kill him.
There were many people following him after all. From their aura, Jiang Yi could tell that all of them were King-Ranked martial artists. Jiang Yi did not dare to fight back. Hide? Without the mummy running—if he chose to hide, he would immediately be knocked out of his hiding place. Then, he would not even know how he would die.
He was running out of Power of Heaven and Earth. Jiang Yi secretly began to panic. The cogs in his mind kept turning. A moment later, a small island appeared in front of him. Jiang Yi averted his gaze and immediately thought of a plan.
Swish!
Before this, he did not dare to enter any island. He was afraid that there would be people hidden within the cities on the island. Now, however, since there were so many King-Ranked martial artists behind him, he guessed that there would be no more formidable martial artists in the cities. After all, there were too many islands and cities to take care of.
Swish!
The mummy was moving as fast as it could. In front of them, a medium-sized city appeared on the horizon. There were countless soldiers inside, who immediately panicked and shouted when they saw the mummy racing towards them. The city burst into action at once.
“Break!”
Jiang Yi roared. The mummy’s claws kept attacking the protective layer around the city. At the same time, Jiang Yi released his Merged Flames to assist with breaking through the restrictions of the protective layer.
The city was not considered big. Of course, the protective layer was not that strong. The Merged Flames, when coupled with the attacks by the mummy, caused the restrictions to fall apart at once. The remnant flames caused the surrounding temperatures to shoot up. Countless people in the city cried out in pain, and the city descended into chaos.
“Everyone, listen up! Leave this island at once! In five minutes—if you are still here, I will kill you without any hesitation!”
Jiang Yi shouted these instructions as he immediately retracted the flames in his hands. If he did not do that, all the civilians in the city would have been burned to death in seconds. He quickly shot streams of light which caused the city’s castles to collapse. Everything was in more of a mess than it was before.
“Ah, quick, run!”
“Help me…”
“Get out of the city, or we will lose our lives…”
Countless screams and shouts could be heard as millions of people rushed out of the city as quickly as they could. Jiang Yi’s eyes lit up. Suddenly, he kept the mummy and activated his Art of Concealment. He rushed into the city and disappeared into the crowd.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
In just twenty seconds, a King-Ranked martial artist shot towards Jiang Yi like a dart. However, once they reached the city, they were dumbfounded. People were running around inside and outside the city. They looked like a dense group of ants, running in all different directions. Jiang Yi was nowhere to be seen among the crowd.
“Quick, split up and search for him! Use your Spatial Zone Turbulence and don’t let him get away!”
One of the formidable martial artists of the Dao Clan roared these instructions, asking the hundreds of King-Ranked martial artists to use their various mystical abilities or Mercury Stones to look everywhere for Jiang Yi. They surrounded the entire island and began to activate their Spatial Zone Turbulence.
Even as they caused the region around the island to undergo turbulence, they still could not find any hint of Jiang Yi. Everyone had no choice but to use the island as the center and move outwards in search of him. As they continued to cause turbulence in the space surrounding the island, they kept an eye out for Jiang Yi.
“Keke!”
By the time all of the King-Ranked martial artists moved outwards to search for him, the city began deserted. Suddenly, soft laughter was heard.
The most dangerous place was often the safest. Divine senses could not work in the Chaos Sea. Spatial Zone Turbulence? Jiang Yi was hiding in a wasteland and burying himself underneath the rubble. Even if they did turn the space upside down to through him out, would they be able to find him?
“Ethereal Spirit Island is in the east of the Chaos Sea?”
Jiang Yi waited for a while before he headed out, still concealed. As long as he could get rid of those King-Ranked martial artists on his trail, he would be able to keep himself hidden and escape. If he could find the Ethereal Spirit Island, he would be able to get his mummy out and kill all the formidable martial artists on that island. Then, he would let Qi Qingchen out and get her to activate the Teleportation Formation which would bring them back to the Earth Domain. Finally, their job would be complete.
Little did he know that Dao Leng still had not left the Ethereal Spirit Island and was waiting for him to arrive.
