Chapter 1355 - Dense Fog Forest

Chapter 1355: Dense Fog Forest

“Kill—”

Once Gu Mu had acted, Luo Shui and the others outside also started their attacks. The moment Jiang Yi had given his order, the Dense Fog Peak was destined to become a living hell.

The Dense Fog Peak had many people in it. Xia Rui had brought tens of men with a near hundred others that had come along for the same mission while Jiang Xiaonu had tens of other companions on her mission as well. There were more than a hundred people in total. However, there was not one God King. On Jiang Yi’s side were eleven God Kings; the difference in strength was stark. In a mere five minutes, all the Earth Emanations Pavilion members on the two missions were all killed.

Jiang Yi carried Jiang Xiaonu and stood on a stone peak as he coldly watched; he did not feel guilty at all.

These people were basically killed by the Earth Emanations Pavilion Luo Clan God Kings. The Earth Emanations Pavilion Luo Clan had been afraid that word would spread, and so Luo Qingyan had ordered a massacre. Jiang Yi was also clear that either he or the Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan would end up bearing responsibility for this crime; for someone of Luo Qingyan’s intellect, she would definitely see to that.

As expected!

Luo Qingyan gave Luo Shui a look, and the latter gathered his men to dump the fragments of the seventeen Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan God Kings’ battle armor in an inconspicuous spot. A ruined transmission token was also added to the mix. All these would serve as iron-clad evidence in the future.

“Young Master’s subordinates are so strong!”

Jiang Xiaonu had already stopped crying. However, she was still trembling slightly as she held on to Jiang Yi desperately, afraid that he would disappear. Her huge eyes were looking about curiously as she could not figure some things out. Jiang Yi had ascended together with her. How did he manage to recruit so many God Kings under his command in such a short amount of time? Could it be Jiang Yi had already reached the God Thearch level? However, Jiang Yi’s aura was still very weak.

She did not know that the ten God Kings here could turn against Jiang Yi and kill him anytime. Jiang Xiaonu could only feel proud that her young master was indeed someone extraordinary. She had given it her all for so long and had only become an official disciple of the Earth Emanations Pavilion. On the other hand, Jiang Yi had gotten control over a group of God Kings.

“Okay! We can leave now!”

Luo Qingyan received a message from Luo Shui as she respectfully reported to Jiang Yi. Jiang Xiaonu looked at Luo Qingyan warily. After all, the latter’s airs and looks were outstanding. Could it be Jiang Yi had gotten yet another woman here in the Higher Domain?

“Let’s go!”

Jiang Yi beckoned as he brought Jiang Xiaonu, Luo Qingyan, and Gu Mu up into the Divine Boat. The group flew swiftly towards the Dense Fog Forest in the vicinity. After Jiang Xiaonu boarded the Divine Boat and realized that they were traveling in the opposite direction, she asked slightly bewildered, “Young Master, where are we heading to?”

“Haha, don’t you worry. You only have to follow me. There are still a group of wild dogs behind us!”

Jiang Yi held onto Jiang Xiaonu as he sat on a chair in the front cabin, softly stroking her silky hair and saying very painfully, “Xiaonu, you have suffered much this time. It is all because I am useless.”

“I have not suffered!” Jiang Xiaonu shook her head as she looked at Jiang Yi, her eyes filled with emotion. “As long as I can be together with Young Master, I am willing to go through even ten times more suffering.”

“Younger sister? This relationship seems sexual in nature though…”

Luo Qingyan stood at a side as she murmured. Jiang Yi swept her a glance and said unhappily, “What are you still standing here for? Scram!”

Luo Qingyan sauntered away, slightly begrudgingly. Jiang Xiaonu finally asked, “Young Master, who is she? Also, the group of God Kings, are they all your men?”

“This is a long story; I’ll tell you another time.” Jiang Yi smiled slightly and said, “Let’s talk about you and the Blue Lion City instead. Who else has bullied you? I will seek redress for you when we get back.”

“En!”

Jiang Xiaonu started to tell her story obediently. She started with how she had ascended to a place near the Blue Lion City and had been taken into the Blue Lion Tribe where she finally chose to enter the Earth Emanations Pavilion and took on tough missions all along the way.

Dong, dong!

Jiang Xiaonu had not finished speaking before there were knocks on the door. Luo Qingyan hurriedly entered as she reported, “Luo Fu and the others have arrived at the Dense Fog Peak. The mechanisms that Luo Shui and company had left have been activated!”

“So fast?”

Jiang Yi’s eyes became cold as he asked, “Didn’t you arrange for them to be misdirected? Why is it they managed to reach the Dense Fog Peak so quickly?”

Luo Qingyan had thrown the ten-odd bodies in different directions back then. If Luo Fu and company had traced the bodies, they would not have been able to reach the Dense Fog Peak in such a short amount of time.

Luo Qingyan, however, was not that surprised. She said bitterly, “Luo Fu’s second uncle must have come out of seclusion. This man has been the strategist of the Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan for a long time; for someone of his experience to see through the diversions is not unusual. If it really is this old curmudgeon, he would probably have also guessed that we are heading to the Dense Fog Forest. They would be able to catch up to us in at most fifteen minutes.”

“Uh?”

Jiang Yi’s face darkened as he hurriedly asked, “How much longer before we reach the Dense Fog Forest?”

Luo Qingyan stretched out three fingers as she replied, “We need at least fifteen minutes! However… I have already asked Luo Shui to deploy three men to fight to their deaths. Hopefully, that could buy us some time.”

“Fight to their deaths?”

Jiang Yi secretly felt that Luo Qingyan was too cruel and vicious. She could sacrifice her own clansmen without even showing any guilt.

Jiang Yi’s eyes glistened as he sighed. Even if the three went to fight to their deaths, that might not buy them much time. At most, they might be able to enter the Dense Fog Forest. If their reinforcements did not come in time or there weren’t enough formidable martial artists among them—even if they entered the Dense Fog Forest, that would be for naught.

“How much longer before your clan’s reinforcements arrive?”

Jiang Yi turned and asked. If the Earth Emanations Pavilion Luo Clan’s troops arrived in time, they would still have a chance of survival. If the Earth Emanations Pavilion and the Earth Emanations Pavilion Luo Clan’s formidable martial artists do not make it in time—based on their current strength, they would easily be wiped out by the Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan.

“We are not sure…”

Luo Qingyan shook her head and said, “After we entered the Drizzling Mountain Ridges, it had become difficult to send messages; there is a unique force at work here. Luo Shui and the others cannot use long-range transmissions and have not received any word either.”

“Damn!”

Jiang Yi stood up angrily as he locked onto Luo Qingyan and asked, “Do you have any good ideas?”

“I do not…”

Luo Qingyan shook her head and replied, “I can only ask Luo Shui to send his men to death one by one to delay Luo Fu and to buy time for us!”

“That won’t work!”

There wasn’t much use in Luo Shui and company going to die one by one. There were still thirty God Kings on the Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan’s side; two of them were even peak-stage God Kings. If Luo Shui and his men went one by one, they would all die without being of much use.

Jiang Yi’s eyes glistened as in the face of impending death, his thoughts became crystal clear. He shouted hurriedly, “This can’t do. We have to escape from the enemy’s control. We cannot take the Divine Boat anymore. Ask Luo Shui to send someone to control the Divine Boat into the Dense Fog Forest. We will head to the surface and find a detour to the Dense Fog Forest. Furthermore, even Gu Mu will have to take a different route; the remaining men from your clan as well!”

“Leave the Divine Boat? Take a detour?”

Luo Qingyan’s brows rose as she said hesitantly, “Without the Divine Boat, we would be in so much trouble if we encountered Chaos Beasts. Furthermore, if we take a detour and without Gu Mu bringing us along, it would take even longer to reach the Dense Fog Forest. There are too many unknown variables…”

Jiang Yi resolutely waved his hand and said, “Every option seems to be unsafe. Let me ask you—wouldn’t it be harder for Luo Fu to find us?”

“If we do this, it would indeed be hard for them to find us,” Luo Qingyan thought about it and said. However, she hesitated again and said, “However…”

“There aren’t that many howevers! Xiaonu, let’s go!”

Jiang Yi cut off Luo Qingyan’s words very abruptly as he brought Jiang Xiaonu outside. He asked Gu Mu to disassociate his mental connection with the Chaos Ring as Jiang Yi refined it and brought Jiang Xiaonu down from the Divine Boat. Luo Qingyan did not have a choice but to follow. She could only act according to Jiang Yi’s wishes. She summoned one person to guide the Divine Boat as she instructed Gu Mu, Luo Shui, and the others to fly with Jiang Yi away from the Divine Boat.

Swish!

The Divine Boat continued its journey forward as Jiang Yi brought Luo Qingyan and Jiang Xiaonu towards the southwest direction. Gu Mu could only force himself to fly solo towards the north while the other men all fled in different directions.

Everyone had grown tensed at this moment. Luo Fu and company were just like a bunch of Death Gods in the vicinity. Whoever they caught up with, that person would probably die.
