Chapter 1309: Taking the Unorthodox Path

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The castle was extremely grandiose. There were elaborate and dazzling decorations all around. The moment Jiang Yi entered, he saw a huge, long hall that resembled the one in Demon-Killing Pavilion. On either side of the hall were broad hallways. There were a total of thirty hallways on both sides of the hall, which led to the thirty side halls.
Many people were coming in and out, and most of them had face masks on. It was obvious that they did not want to be recognized. Jiang Yi found the hallway that led to side hall number sixteen. Once he entered, he retrieved a face mask and put it on. However, this face mask could not block off formidable martial artists’ divine senses. Still, Jiang Yi guessed that the people here would not investigate others at whim.
After walking about three thousand meters, Jiang Yi discovered that there was not just one hallway leading to side hall number sixteen. In fact, there were three. In front of him were three roads. Each of the roads was labeled: Fighting Ground, Quarry, and Playground.
Jiang Yi did not know where his target was. All he could do was pick one road. After making a couple of turns, he entered yet another huge hall. There were close to a thousand people inside. In the middle was an elevated stage, on which two formidable martial artists were fighting. Many observers stood in the spectator’s stand, shouting and cheering.
“Kill him, kill him!”
“Red dog, kill Black Dog. If you lose, Chief will kill you!”
“Black Dog must win!”
All around, people were shouting. It was obvious that the two people on the battle stage were Heaven Gods. One of them was dressed in black battle armor while the other was dressed in a red one. Both of them were going all out in the fight. Jiang Yi surveyed both of them and immediately understood what was happening. This battleground was actually a huge casino. People were betting on whether the people on stage were going to live or die.
Jiang Yi did not bother too much about the fight between martial artists. Instead, he looked around for his target. It was a pity that so many people were hiding their faces here. People either put masks on or used their mystical abilities to cause their own features to look blurry so that other people would not recognize them. Among the people who were not hiding their faces, Jiang Yi could not find his target.
After confirming that the target was not present, Jiang Yi finally left the battleground and headed for the quarry. The quarry was much smaller, and it was filled with countless weird-looking rocks. There were not many people inside as well: only close to a hundred. They were all surrounding the rocks, fighting to get a closer look. Jiang Yi quietly made one round around the quarry. Once he made sure that the target was not there, he headed for the Playground.
Once he entered the playground, Jiang Yi felt like he had just entered a brothel.
There were many booths inside the playground. Each of those booths contained one well-dressed man, who looked elegant and rich. Each of those men had several guards standing behind them. They also had several beautiful women accompanying them. These women were all dressed skimpily. Some wore translucent, long dresses; some were half-naked; and some were completely nude.
In the middle of the booths was an elevated stage. Inside, two women fought. Those two women did not look out of place. They each held a dagger in their hands and fought each other with all their might on the stage. The countless people in the various booths kept laughing out loud.
That’s the target!
Jiang Yi scanned all the booths, and his eyes suddenly narrowed. He discovered that the target was seated at the sixth booth from the left. He was a young, purple-haired gentleman. At that moment, the gentleman had both of his hands in the dress of the woman next to him. He was playing around with her body. At the same time, the gentleman kept his gaze fixed on the elevated stage as he shouted, “Kill her, kill her!”
Four guards were standing behind the purple-haired man. However, none of them were God Generals, and their auras did not seem that strong. All four of them were captivated by the lady next to the purple-haired gentleman. However, none of them dared to move. They were very professional.
Bang!
One of the seductive ladies on the elevated stand retrieved a dagger and stabbed the opposing party harshly. As fast as lightning, she stabbed her another ten more times. Both of their pure, white dresses were dyed red by now. Tens of people inside the booths laughed maniacally while others became enraged.
“Damn it, good-for-nothing! You lost me a thousand divine roots!”
The purple-haired gentleman must have lost. He jumped to his feet in anger, cursing and yelling to let off steam. He suddenly grabbed the hair of the lady next to him and slammed her head against the stone stage in front of him. He did this extremely violently and caused the woman’s head to start bleeding. He hit her head so hard that the stone stage even cracked a little.
Beast!
On seeing the purple-haired gentleman mistreat the lady, Jiang Yi’s eyes flickered with anger. However, he quickly controlled himself because a distinguished, middle-aged woman walked towards him at that moment, smiling. “Lord, do you want to make a bet? Each time you make a bet, you must pay five hundred divine roots. You can choose any four ladies to play with you. You can treat or mistreat them however you like. If you feel angry, you can even kill these female slaves. Each one of them only costs a hundred divine roots…”
Jiang Yi could not bring himself to listen to her any longer. This Black Market Castle was really a place filled with evil and wrongdoing. The female slaves here were not even treated as humans. People were allowed to abuse them however they wanted. In fact, it would only cost Jiang Yi a hundred divine roots to kill one of them. People who could come here to have fun were definitely perverted!
Jiang Yi did not have a single divine root on him. Playing with women and gambling aside, he could not even afford to drink one glass of alcohol. He said coldly, “I’m taking a look first!”
“Sorry, Lord.”
The middle-aged lady seemed to have guessed that Jiang Yi was a peasant. However, she still said politely, “As long as you are willing to spend a hundred divine roots, you can watch for two hours. However, if you don’t want to spend a single cent, please go somewhere else to find entertainment.”
The target was so close, and yet Jiang Yi could not do anything. It was not just the fact that there were guards planted all around. This middle-aged woman in front of him was at least a Demon-Killing Battle General already. Even if he could kill the target, he probably would not be able to make it out of Crazed God Castle alive.
I’m going to wait!
He was sure of his target’s identity. He also knew that his guards were not strong, and his abilities were only equivalent to a Heaven God’s at most. Jiang Yi was quite confident.
This mission was worth a thousand battle merits. It was hard to come by indeed. As for what would become of him after killing the purple-haired gentleman, he could not be bothered to think so much. Jiang Xiaonu was alone in Blue Lion City, and Jiang Yi was getting extremely worried about her. He had to take this risk.
He decided to walk around side hall number sixteen. After all, they could not charge him money for walking around, could they? He did not want to go outside to wait, for fear that the purple-haired gentleman would have a Divine Boat waiting for him. If that was the case, Jiang Yi would never be able to catch up with him even if he tried.
Ten hours, twenty hours… eighty hours.
Jiang Yi walked in and out like a lunatic. The guards were already starting to get suspicious of him, but he did not do anything out of the ordinary. The guards remained professional. They neither caused trouble for him nor tried to bother him.
At last!
After three Lower-Domain days, Jiang Yi heard the sound of cursing coming from the hallway. The purple-haired gentleman was walking out with four people in tow. It was obvious that he had lost a significant amount of divine roots. Jiang Yi did not dare to look at them as he walked alongside them. The purple-haired gentleman led his four men towards the outside of the castle.
Chase!
Jiang Yi waited for a while before giving chase. The guards in Crazed God Castle seemed to have realized that something was amiss, but since Jiang Yi did not take action inside the castle, none of them interfered. The castle itself was filled with evil and wrongdoing. Jiang Yi had obviously come looking for the purple-haired gentleman and his companions. They were not about to interfere in this private dispute.
Once they walked out of the city gates, Jiang Yi’s expression turned cold and hard. The gentleman had a Divine Boat waiting for him indeed. One of his men was retrieving the Divine Boat now, and the rest were getting ready to board it.
The Divine Boat traveled ten times as fast as Jiang Yi, and it had strong restrictions as well. Jiang Yi knew that if the purple-haired gentleman was allowed to step onto the boat, he would lose his chance to kill him. His eyes twinkled, and he gritted his teeth as he sprinted toward the purple-haired gentleman. As he ran, he shouted, “Gentleman, wait, my young mistress is looking for you!
“Merged Flames!”
At the same time, the merged flames in Jiang Yi’s ninth star sphere surged. If he could only get close to these people, he was confident that he would be able to kill all five of them! As for what the Crazed God Castle would do after he killed them, he could not afford to think about for now. He had to act first!
