Chapter 1321: Not Acting Logically

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Jiang Yi returned to his pavilion, sat for a moment, and soon left.
He removed his mental connection to the Mystic Divine Armor and left it in his room. As he now had medial-grade divine artifact battle armor while he could not bear to sell the Mystic Divine Armor, he decided to leave it for the Black Deity. He also left behind the demon race cultivation secret manual he had purchased from the Demon-Killing Pavilion, five hundred divine roots, and a letter for the Black Deity.
Jiang Yi did not bid farewell to the Black Deity; he detested the sorrowful feelings on such occasions. Jiang Yi’s letter had stated clearly that if he did not return in ten days, that meant that he had perished. The Black Deity was to take care of himself in the Higher Domain, and—if an opportunity came—to head to the Blue Lion City to find Jiang Xiaonu. The Black Deity was to instruct Jiang Xiaonu to find her own way to look for the Ink Feather Race and return to them.
Jiang Yi had originally wanted to find out more about the Ink Feather Race for Jiang Xiaonu; however, he did not have much time left. Jiang Yi drank a drop of the Rootless Water and his soul spirit indeed suddenly became more than ten-fold stronger. Jiang Yi hurriedly used his Mirage Divine Ability to transform into the Black Deity’s appearance and headed to the south city. He then changed his looks another seven or eight times. As his current soul spirit was incredibly strong, even ordinary Demon-Killing Battle Kings would not be able to see through his disguise. Jiang Yi was very relaxed.
After making turns here and there, Jiang Yi found the merchant association that Luo Qingyan had asked him to head to. The timing was perfect. Jiang Yi had only waited for two hours when a Divine Boat flew from the backyard of the merchant association into the air, heading speedily southward.
This Divine Boat was headed to the Divine Fire City to the south; it had to pass by the Demon Fire Mountain on the way. Luo Qingyan had already made arrangements for Jiang Yi to board and had also sent men to cover Jiang Yi’s departure; the Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan would not notice anything.
The Jiyang Tribe was not far from the Divine Eagle City. On a Divine Boat, it would only take around six Lower-Domain days. Divine Boats were rather fast. If Jiang Yi decided to make his own way, he would at least take a few months while he could easily be killed by the Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan’s men on the way.
As for… how Luo Ting and company would figure out that Jiang Yi had headed to the Demon Fire Mountain and whether Luo Ting would come personally to kill Jiang Yi? Jiang Yi did not need to care about these things. Luo Qingyan must have made plans for everything already. Jiang Yi only needed to disembark near the Demon Fire Mountain, and that would suffice.
Many people were onboard the Divine Boat. These should all be people heading to the Divine Fire City. Most of them were Heaven Gods; there were seven to eight God Generals as well. Jiang Yi had disguised himself as an ordinary elder, found a corner, and sat cross-legged; caring about nothing.
Lady Luo indeed has made plans. There are two of her men on this boat; is she afraid I would flee?
Jiang Yi entered the State of the Union of Heaven and Man and sensed his surroundings. As expected, he discovered two separate streams of divine senses that were scanning him without leaving any traces. If it wasn’t for his powerful soul spirit at the moment—combined with the State of the Union of Heaven and Man, Jiang Yi would never have noticed the duo tracking him.
If this was all devised by Luo Qingyan, she is indeed the most terrifying person in the Divine Eagle City.
Jiang Yi was silently amazed. Everything had been taken into account flawlessly. Most probably, before Jiang Yi reached the Demon Fire Mountain, Luo Ting would have received news that Jiang Yi had taken on a mission and had boarded a merchant association’s Divine Boat and that Jiang Yi was now flying towards Demon Fire Mountain. Once Luo Ting got this news, he would come hunting Jiang Yi immediately.
It doesn’t matter anymore!
Jiang Yi had no intention of fleeing. He wanted to take this gamble, successfully complete this mission, and return to claim the ten thousand battle merits. Jiang Yi wanted to live and head to Blue Lion City to find Jiang Xiaonu.
Even if Jiang Yi wanted to flee, where could he flee to? If that was the case, both the Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan and the Earth Emanations Pavilion Luo Clan would be hunting him down; Jiang Yi would definitely die. His only way out now was to complete the mission successfully and return to the Divine Eagle City. He could then be promoted to a Demon-Killing Battle General and ask Commander He to find a way to bring him to the Blue Lion City.
As to how Commander He could possibly secretly transfer him away under the watchful gaze of both the Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan and the Earth Emanations Pavilion Luo Clan, Jiang Yi could not think about that now. He chose to trust He Wei; Commander He also gave Jiang Yi the feeling that he was a man of his word.
Cultivate!
Jiang Yi dispelled all the thoughts coursing through his mind; he could think about all of this later on. He had to focus on realizing the Art of Concealment now and cultivate his heavenly powers. This way, his chances of survival would be increased.
“Uh…”
Once he started realizing, Jiang Yi found out that something was different. As his soul spirit was now incredibly strong, his mind was also moving a thousand times faster than normal. This helped immensely in realizing. Jiang Yi hurriedly suppressed the agitation in him as he focused solely on realizing the Art of Concealment. One drop of Rootless Water could amplify his soul spirit for half a Lower-Domain day; every moment was very precious.
With Jiang Yi’s mind turning at such a fast pace, every two hours was like a thousand normal hours; his realizing speed was so fast. When the Rootless Water started to wear off and his soul spirit started to become weaker again, Jiang Yi had already realized the Entry Stage of the Art of Concealment.
Hoo-hoo!
Any elixir that could temporarily amplify one’s strength and abilities would have side effects. Once the Rootless Water wore off, Jiang Yi’s soul spirit felt extremely tired. He grew very dizzy and almost fainted on the spot.
Jiang Yi gritted his teeth to stay awake. He could not afford to fall unconscious at this moment. If not, the Mirage Divine Ability would be deactivated. Jiang Yi closed his eyes and leaned on the wall. He rested for almost eight hours, and the extreme lethargy of his soul spirit finally steadily dissipated. Jiang Yi then opened his eyes and sighed lengthily.
After realizing the Entry Stage of any mystical ability, the rest was much easier. Although Jiang Yi’s realizing speed had decreased significantly—once the Entry Stage had been reached, fully realizing this mystical ability was only a matter of time.
Time passed by very quickly. Five days had gone by.
The Divine Boat’s journey had been very smooth. It had encountered a Chaos Beast once, but it had been easily diverted by the guards on the Divine Boat. Luo Qingyan’s arrangements were very meticulous. In the past five days, not one pursuing martial artist had appeared. For such a powerful clan like the Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan, to not have anyone chasing after Jiang Yi after such a long time was no doubt due to Luo Qingyan’s efforts.
Alright, the Art of Concealment has been realized. It is a pity I cannot try it out here.
Jiang Yi opened his eyes at this moment, full of excitement. This mystical ability was the Demon-Killing Pavilion’s; there shouldn’t be any problem with it. Jiang Yi looked outside from the transparent walls of the Divine Boat and tried to pinpoint his location with the map he had. He confirmed that the Demon Fire Mountain was not far away; they should reach it in a day.
According to the plan, he had to disembark one day later. Luo Ting would probably reach at about the same time. Then, the pursuit would begin. Jiang Yi had to run for half a day and arrive deep inside the Demon Fire Mountain, near the fire lake in it.
The fire lake was actually a lava lake. There was a huge fire mountain nearby that erupted frequently. The Primitive-Grade Chaos Beast that had evolved into an Ancient-Grade Chaos Beast lived inside that fire mountain. It was reported that there were more than ten Primitive-Grade Chaos Beasts nearby as well. However, these Primitive-Grade Chaos Beasts should not be hard for Luo Ting and company to deal with. Jiang Yi guessed that Luo Ting would bring along at least one God King guard. Thus, if Jiang Yi did not lure them close to the fire lake and close enough to disturb the Ancient-Grade Chaos Beast, the pursuing forces could not be destroyed.
If the Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan’s forces could not be killed, Jiang Yi would have nowhere to run either. Once his Rootless Water was depleted, he would definitely be executed by the Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan’s soldiers. Regarding this matter, Jiang Yi and Luo Qingyan had the same goal of killing the Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan forces.
However!
Jiang Yi did not go exactly according to Luo Qingyan’s plan. After another half a day on the Divine Boat, Jiang Yi suddenly shouted at the housekeeper of the merchant association on the boat and said, “Stop, I wish to disembark.”
“En?”
The two guards monitoring Jiang Yi exchanged a glance as they looked stunned. The housekeeper did not bother as he informed the front cabin, and the Divine Boat stopped. Its big door opened, and Jiang Yi flew out into the mountains beneath.
“Little bastard!”
One of the Earth Emanations Pavilion Luo Clan’s guards started to rise as he cursed. Jiang Yi had not gone according to plan and was now beyond their control. If he messed up the plan and Luo Ting and company could not find him, all their plans would be laid to waste.
“Don’t rush!”
The other man laughed sinisterly and sent a voice transmission: “Luo Ting is already on the way. This lad can only move so fast. Luo Ting had brought almost a hundred God Generals and even one God King; it would be easy for so many people to locate him. Send a message to Commander Gu and tell him the situation. Ask him to bring forward the plan. When necessary, we will help this lad and make sure that he doesn’t die before reaching the fire lake. If there isn’t a bait left, how can we catch our fish?”
