“Old Wu!”
Now that the Green Eagle King had left, the White River King flew over and said in a heavy tone, “Jiang Yi could not have been in the Little Eagle King’s ring. Could the Green Eagle King and his son have put on this show to bring Jiang Yi back to the Ink Feather Mystic Realm?”
The Heaven Desert King and the others’ expressions changed. If Jiang Yi had really been brought back to the Ink Feather Mystic Realm, the various clansmen would have died in vain. What’s more, by the time Jiang Yi remained hidden and cultivated for ten years, he would probably have reached the King Rank. Jiang Yi’s temper was explosive; the various family clans would probably perish.
“I don’t think so!”
Heavenly King Wu answered confidently. “I know the Green Eagle King very well. Although he is aggressive and unreasonable, he is very principled. He knows the gravity of the matter. What’s more, I heard that the Green Eagle King nearly smacked Jiang Yi to death back at the Earth Emanations Domain. Jiang Yi even swore that he would come back and torture the Green Eagle King like a dog once he returned in ten years. If he can’t do it, he would kill himself! Everyone in the Earth Emanations Domain knows about this. Just ask around, and you will find out as well. If you were the Green Eagle King, would you help Jiang Yi?”
“…”
Many people turned to one another, at a loss as to what was to be done. If this thing really happened, they would not help Jiang Yi, much less the Green Eagle King, given his temper. Instead, they would hope that Jiang Yi would perish here.
Heavenly King Wu fell into deep thought. After a long time, he said, “The Little Eagle King has obviously helped Jiang Yi. That means that Jiang Yi must have escaped in the opposite direction. Jiang Yi has no way of breaking through the Primordial Astral Gas. Not much time has passed since he escaped. That means Jiang Yi should be nearby, hiding in a little mystic realm or a wasteland. Of course, we’re not ruling out the Purgatory Mystic Realm as well. Yi Zu, get the map!”
In a flash, Yi Zu retrieved a map of the void. Heavenly King Wu gathered the entire group and pointed to the map as he said, “The seven of us and Yi Zu will break into eight groups and take one region each. We have to search every mystic realm and wasteland. Not one location is allowed to go unchecked. Send a message to the surrounding domains and Hunting Envoys, asking them not to come in and hunt. We have to form one circle to surround all the surrounding regions, so that Jiang Yi cannot escape this area.”
“Alright!”
Heavenly King Wu’s plan was quite good. Everyone nodded one by one before flying off to their respective Chaos Divine Boats. Five hundred or so Chaos Divine Boats divided themselves into seven groups and flew off in different directions. Each group was responsible for searching one region.
The message-transmitting secret formations on the Divine Boats were used to send messages to the various Hunting Envoys of the bigger domains. They were told to keep an eye out on the outside to make sure that Jiang Yi could not escape. Jiang Yi probably did not have a Chaos Divine Boat. Even if he did have one, he probably would not dare to use it. After all, that would make him a huge target. It would be easy for everyone to find him and stop him.
Heavenly King Wu once again returned to the Purgatory Mystic Realm. To him, it was highly probable that Jiang Yi would head back there. The others split up and looked around the regions that they were in charge of. One by one, they went through the mystic realms and the wastelands.
The White River King was in charge of the area around the Lava Wasteland. After flying around for several hours, the White River King arrived near the Lava Wasteland and personally went there to search.
Fortunately, he did not dare to go near the Lava Wasteland, too. From five thousand kilometers away, he felt the extremely high temperatures from the wasteland. Without even searching, he led his team away from the area. Given the terrifyingly high temperatures, he guessed that nobody would be able to hide there for sure.
After this, the White River King went to the Green Soul Mystic Realm. He used his divine senses to scan the surroundings. Once he found no sign of life, he retreated and told his subordinates to continue searching. Bai Ditian was not killed so the White River King was not as eager to kill Jiang Yi as Heavenly King You was. He was only helping to search for him on Heavenly King You’s account. Naturally, he was not going to give his all to find a small character like Jiang Yi.
Since they were unable to find any clues in either of those places, they were much less able to find anything in the other mystic realms and wastelands. The group of people searched high and low and covered every single mystic realm and wasteland in the region. Still, they made no findings.
The Purgatory Mystic Realm!
A few King-Ranked martial artists locked their gazes on the Purgatory Mystic Realm. After all, Jiang Yi had survived in there for twenty days. After a round of communications, the King-Ranked martial artists and Yi Wu all headed back towards that mystic realm and began to search for Jiang Yi there by covering every inch of the area. A few of them were prepared to look around in the Purgatory Mystic Realm and not give up until Jiang Yi was found.
…
More than sixty hours had passed. Jiang Yi opened his eyes, feeling a huge weight being lifted off his chest.
After such a long time, the first round of searching conducted by the enemy must have been completed. Since no one tried to enter the wasteland and neither did he feel any divine senses sweep past him, Jiang Yi finally was able to relax significantly.
When he opened his eyes, he looked forward in a daze, recalling what happened in the Purgatory Mystic Realm. Until this moment, he could not understand why twenty days had passed by in a flash. What exactly happened? Who was that mysterious martial artist? Was it the Earth Emanations Sovereign or the Phantom King? However, if it were either of them, they would have brought him out of there immediately.
After pondering for a long while, Jiang Yi shook his head and cast all of these thoughts to the back of his mind. His head began to hurt slightly as he looked around. There was no spirit energy here. Naturally, he would not be able to cultivate. At that moment, he was still worried that danger would befall him at any moment. Thus, he could not quiet his heart down enough to realize the Quintessence. Sitting there and doing nothing would surely cause time to crawl by.
“Why not check out the heaven-and-earth special flames here? I’ll see if I can absorb them.”
Jiang Yi pondered for a while before this thought surfaced in his mind. If he could absorb these special flames and merge them with the five-colored flames in his ninth star sphere, he would be much more powerful. For all he knew, he would be able to burn King-Ranked martial artists alive.
“No way…”
Jiang Yi recalled how frightening the flames were and still dared not take the risk. He might have entered the Lava Wasteland successfully, but he did not go near the heaven-and-earth special flames. If he went near them and found that he was not able to withstand them, he could turn into ash immediately.
“That’s right, the Heaven-Swallowing Beast!”
Jiang Yi recalled the little sleeping beast in his Fire Spirit Pearl. This little beast was even more resistant towards flames than he was. It could even swallow such strong flames as the five-colored merged flames. It would probably not be afraid of these flames, right? What’s more, it could probably sense whether these flames would harm it or not. If it could not swallow the flames, it probably would not go near it either.
“Little Ferocious!”
He quickly sent a voice transmission into his Fire Spirit Pearl. “There’s a place near me with heaven-and-earth special flames, but they are terrifying. Come out and sense it. If the temperatures are too high, go back in immediately.”
Buzz!
The moment Jiang Yi finished speaking, the Fire Spirit Pearl lit up; and a dark-red beast flew out of it. Its eyes were twinkling as it cried out twice before sending a voice transmission to Jiang Yi: “Where are the heaven-and-earth special flames? I want to eat, I want to eat…”
“Don’t do anything rash.”
Frightened, Jiang Yi quickly grabbed the little beast. The temperatures here were so high, but the little beast did not seem in the least bit bothered. This helped Jiang Yi to relax slightly.
He paused for a moment and then pointed to the Lava Pit and sent another voice transmission: “Heaven-and-earth special flames are below that Lava Pit. However, you must be very, very careful. These flames are the most powerful ones I have ever seen. Approach it slowly. If you feel any threat, retreat at once, understand?”
“I understand! I understand!”
The little beast nodded, eager to free itself of Jiang Yi’s clutches. Like a stream of light, it immediately rushed into the Lava Pit. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared into it.
“The f*ck!”
Jiang Yi had belittled the thirst that this foodie had for delicacies. He used his divine senses to sense the Lava Pit, wanting to see if the little beast could swallow the heaven-and-earth special flames. Unfortunately, the Lava Pit weakened the strength of his divine senses. Jiang Yi could only follow it as far as a few kilometers before he lost sight of the little beast completely.
Swish!
Just as he retracted his divine senses, a dark red figure shot out of the Lava Pit in front of him and charged right towards him. The Heaven-Swallowing Beast was running back, and its eyes were glowing. As it ran, a screaming voice transmission sounded in Jiang Yi’s ears: “Big Ferocious, save me! There are many Heaven Flame Beasts! Ah, ah, ah!”
