Chapter 1352 - Leaving Voluntarily

Chapter 1352: Leaving Voluntarily

In just one Lower-Domain day and a half, the Divine Boat entered the Drizzling Mountain Ridges. Jiang Yi entered the State of the Union of Heaven and Man to keep an eye on the surroundings and felt quite surprised at what he saw. Indeed, there was nothing that the Higher Domain did not possess.

The moment they entered this mountainous region, it drizzled unendingly. They kept passing by clouds beneath them; they could not even see the view of the land below. Even Gu Mu could not see clearly with his own divine senses. They would only be able to see clearly after they landed.

Under ordinary circumstances, people who entered the Drizzling Mountain Ridges would not dare to land at will, unless they have arrived at their destination. After all, nobody knew what kind of dangers lay beneath. Since their divine senses were also limited, they flew slowly inside the region.

“What a good place!”

Jiang Yi thanked the heavens in his heart. It was no wonder that Luo Qingyan only wanted to take action while they were in this region. If they hid here, people flying overhead would not be able to sense them. At the very least, they would need to be within a couple of kilometers from them. At such a close distance, their chances of surprise-attacking the enemy were much higher. What’s more, both he and Gu Mu had strong disguising techniques.

“Should we do it?”

Jiang Yi turned to Luo Qingyan. One and a half days had already passed. Nobody knew if Luo Fu and his men had already caught up to them. If they started hiding and preparing to fight now and Luo Fu and his man suddenly arrived, they would be the ones in deep trouble.

“No way!”

Luo Qingyan shook her head. “We have just entered the Drizzling Mountain Ridges. Luo Fu’s God Kings must be on high alert. We are not likely to catch them by surprise now. Even if we do, we will be gravely injured. We have to move five million kilometers more.

“Five million kilometers?”

Jiang Yi’s expression fell. In a cold tone, he said, “What if Luo Fu and his men catch up to us?”

“Hehe.”

Luo Qingyan smiled confidently. “They won’t move that fast. If Luo Fu were alone, he would have arrived here by now. However, he is not acting alone. He is leading an entire group of people. What’s more, he is extremely scheming and evil. With a character like that, he would surely be fearful of death. He would suspect that this is a trap, and he would not take such a risk. After all, if he is destroyed, the Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan would be finished.”

“Then let’s travel five million kilometers more!” Jiang Yi pondered for a while and decided to trust Luo Qingyan this once. This woman was too intelligent. She was good at calculating others’ moves. Jiang Yi was confident that nothing would go wrong this time.

As they advanced, Luo Qingyan asked Gu Mu to send a voice transmission to the God Kings behind them, instructing them to go into hiding. Gu Mu was very confused as to why Jiang Yi was not questioning Luo Qingyan at all. Was he really going to trust Luo Qingyan just like that?

Time trickled by. An hour later, they traveled the entire five million kilometers. Luo Qingyan sent a voice transmission to Jiang Yi who then turned to shout at Gu Mu, “Gu Mu, go! Luo Qingyan, steer the Divine Boat five hundred kilometers ahead and wait for us there.”

“This…”

Gu Mu trembled. He finally understood.

Jiang Yi wanted Luo Qingyan to steer the Divine Boat on her own; it was clear that he already had her under control. Otherwise, Luo Qingyan would be able to escape way too easily. In his heart, he commended Jiang Yi. This little Heaven God who just ascended from the Lower Domain was amazing indeed. He could even cause the Young Mistress of the Earth Emanations Pavilion Luo Clan to become his own soul slave.

On second thought, Gu Mu no longer felt embarrassed about becoming a soul slave. Even the Earth Emanations Pavilion Luo Clan’s Young Mistress was one; who could say much about a servant of the Earth Emanations Pavilion Luo Clan like him?

The gates of the Divine Boat opened. Gu Mu led Jiang Yi outwards. Gu Mu was fast. In a couple of seconds, he charged towards the base of the mountains. Jiang Yi immediately swallowed a China Root Elixir and a drop of Rootless Water. Gu Mu released his divine senses to scan the surroundings. Once he was sure that there was no danger lurking around, he brought Jiang Yi into a valley below the mountains.

“Master, wait for me to fight first. Watch the situation before you act. Please, Master… don’t kill me, too!” Gu Mu sent a voice transmission to Jiang Yi before charging towards the peaks. Jiang Yi grinned widely. This Gu Mu was afraid that he would use his Merged Flames to kill him as well.

Without saying anything, Jiang Yi summoned his Mirage Divine Ability and turned into a disciple of the Battle God Pavilion, dressed in golden battle armor. There was a flash of light, and then he disappeared into thin air. He had summoned the Art of Concealment.

On the other side, Gu Mu was already hidden. He had turned into a stone that had no aura of life whatsoever. This disguising technique of his was exceptionally powerful. Unless one was a peak-stage God King, they would definitely not be able to realize he was there. This time, among the seventeen God Kings behind them, there were no peak-stage God Kings.

Swish! Swish!

Once the two of them were hidden, they heard a series of ten things cutting through the air. The ten God Kings of the Earth Emanations Pavilion Luo Clan were here. After Luo Tian sent a voice transmission to Luo Xiang, he immediately sprinted to catch up with them.

The ten people were already informed of Luo Qingyan’s plan. Honestly, this plan worried them. If Jiang Yi could not gravely injure at least the majority of the God Kings, they would be seriously injured themselves even if they ended up winning. However, since Luo Qingyan had given the orders, they had no choice but to obey her.

Luo Qingyan remained on the Divine Boat alone, steering it. However, the Earth Emanations Pavilion Luo Clan’s God Kings did not dare to go and rescue her. This was what really surprised them all: Luo Qingyan had given orders for them to fully cooperate with Jiang Yi and not to try to rescue her. She said that she would perish otherwise. Yet, she did not explain why. The group of them dared not take the risk; none of them wanted to be held responsible if anything went wrong.

The ten of them released their divine senses to scan the surroundings but found no trace of either Jiang Yi or Gu Mu. They were not surprised that they were not able to locate Gu Mu, but why couldn’t they detect even Jiang Yi, a mere Heaven God? Still, this boosted their confidence a little bit.

“Go!”

Luo Shui shouted in a low voice. The entire group rushed forward, causing both Jiang Yi and Gu Mu to tense up at that moment. Just tens of kilometers behind Luo Shui were the seventeen God Kings.

As expected!

A couple of seconds later, three strong divine senses scanned the vicinity. Jiang Yi completely relaxed, not allowing even his essence force to move. He entered the State of the Union of Heaven and Man and made himself one with the heaven and earth around him. He wanted the enemies to not be able to sense anything out of the ordinary where he was at all.

The three divine senses swept past him, not finding anything. First, it was because both Jiang Yi and Gu Mu were well-hidden. Second, it was because the clouds and fog in Drizzling Mountain Ridges were so thick that their visibility and divine senses were affected. After the three divine senses disappeared, countless more swept past them. Without any exception, every one of those divine senses disappeared in front after sweeping past them. None of them discovered the two people in hiding.

Thirteen, fourteen, fifteen…

Jiang Yi was secretly counting the number of divine senses he had already felt. He slowly let go of his worries. Fifteen people’s divine senses had already swept past him. There would likely not be a problem with the last two, right?

The sixteenth person’s divine senses swept past him without stopping, but when the last one’s swept past, it lingered near him for a while. It then swept past him a second time and then a third.

Not good!

Jiang Yi’s heart was pounding. This man’s divine senses were evidently stronger than the sixteen people before him. Could he be suspicious?

If they were discovered prematurely—not only would all their efforts go to waste, but they would also have to kill as many people as he could mercilessly. His Merged Flames were aggressive, but… he was way too slow. He could not close up the distance, and he would not be able to kill them.

Swish!

At that moment, the ten God Kings in front suddenly turned around and charged backward. Someone far away exclaimed, “Run! There’s a Primordial-Grade Chaos Beast!”

“En?”

The God Kings of the Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan were naturally frightened. After all, Primordial-Grade Chaos Beasts were the strongest among Chaos Beasts. Even God Kings could be easily killed by them. It was said that there were a few such beasts hidden inside the Drizzling Mountain Ridges. Could they have emerged?

“Something isn’t right…”

The Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan’s God Kings immediately got yanked back to reality; there was no strong bestial aura around them. This was a trap! What’s more, the ten God Kings of the Earth Emanations Pavilion Luo Clan were already activating their strongest attacks while charging towards them.

Bang!

Gu Mu, who was not far away, started moving. Like a sharp sword, he flew towards the group, extending the metal rod in his hand towards them as well. The metal rod turned into a long, gigantic rod, which carried with it a black, destructive nomological mystical ability on the top. He quickly struck down at the seventeen God Kings’ waists as hard as he could.

Luo Qingyan, don’t let me down!

Jiang Yi entered the State of the Union of Heaven and Man and locked in on the seventeen men in the air. According to Luo Qingyan, these seventeen men would fly down soon. If this guess was wrong, their plan would all go to naught; and the battle would result in terrible bloodshed.
