Chapter 1642: Dao Nu

“Report…”

In the biggest domain in the Heaven Domain, the Heaven Primordial Domain, on the Azure Supreme Thearch Peak—highest mountain peak to the south; a flustered cry rang out. Before long, the entire Azure Supreme Thearch Peak was in an uproar as a commotion broke out.

The Azure Supreme Thearch Peak was where the Azure Supreme Thearch had practiced Dao long ago. However, the Azure Supreme Thearch had not chosen to reside there after that. Instead, it had become the base camp of the number-one clan under the Azure Supreme Thearch, the Dao Clan.

The Dao Clan’s ancestor had been Azure Supreme Thearch’s saber bearer and followed him loyally for a hundred years. After being with the Azure Supreme Thearch for so long and receiving pointers from him, this ancestor finally reached the Pseudo Thearch-Ranked level of attainment. As this person was an orphan and had no name, the Azure Supreme Thearch had given him the clan name Dao and named him Nu. This was the origin of the Dao Clan.

Dao Nu was not on the Azure Supreme Thearch Peak; he had remained with the Azure Supreme Thearch and the day-to-day affairs of the Dao Clan were handled by Dao Nu’s son, Dao Nù. Dao Feng was actually Dao Nù’s son, and the report had been about Dao Feng’s soul spirit jade talisman breaking apart, signifying his death.

Furthermore, news had arrived from the Gongyang Clan, the Liang Clan, and other great family clans. Young Mistress Gongyang, Young Master Liang, and the other young masters and young mistresses had returned; they had been forced to return by the Earth Domain number-one talent, Jiang Yi. Before Young Mistress Gongyang had returned, she had seen Dao Feng’s Divine Escape Talisman being knocked away and sent flying while Dao Feng was being hunted.

The entire Dao Clan was up in arms. The Azure Supreme Thearch’s saber bearer had been rather active; he had given birth to more than ten sons, and most of them had reached King-Ranked, with two even becoming Pseudo Thearch-Ranked formidable martial artists. The entire clan was not lacking in formidable martial artists, and the Dao Clan’s reputation in the entire Heaven Primordial Domain was top-notch. They had accrued many battle accolades and battle merits in past years and was one of the main pillars of strength against the Netherworld Realm.

Now, one of the Dao Clan’s younger generation’s great young masters had been killed? He had also been killed by a youngster from the Earth Domain? The Dao Clan was naturally agitated and furious. Dao Feng’s status and identity… no one from the prestigious clans in the Heaven Domain would dare to touch him, right? Even if he really did something wrong, he would be disciplined; and no Heaven Domain prestigious clan would dare to kill him.

However, it was precisely because Jiang Yi was not from the Heaven Domain that he didn’t understand the power and influence the Dao Clan wielded, didn’t understand how terrifying the Dao Clan was, and so had dared to kill Dao Feng.

Once this news spread, the Dao Clan was definitely going to become the laughingstock of the Heaven Domain. A Dao Clan disciple had not died at the hands of the Netherworld Race but had been killed by a nobody from the Earth Domain. What a joke.

The Dao Clan Family Head Dao Nù was furious as he immediately sent a message to Dao Nu. Dao Nu replied with one word—kill!

Since Dao Nu had given his orders, the entire Dao Clan responded immediately. The Dao Clan’s Battle Hall Head Pseudo Thearch-Ranked Dao Leng personally brought tens of King-Ranked formidable martial artists and teleported to the Chaos Sea to kill Jiang Yi!

The entire Heaven Primordial Domain grew very boisterous. Formidable martial artists were constantly ascending or teleporting from the Earth Domain. However, these formidable martial artists had not made much of a name for themselves. At most, they had become generals or commanders in the Netherworld-Realm-exterminating armies.

Besides the Demon-Killing Supreme Thearch, no one else of significance had emerged. Jiang Yi had actually now made the Earth Domain famous. At the very least, many great family clans now knew that someone called Jiang Yi had killed the Dao Clan’s first young master.

…

Qi Qingchen’s guess was very accurate. Once Dao Leng and his men reached the Chaos Sea, they immediately took control over the Ethereal Spirit Island.

There were many Teleportation Formations on Ethereal Spirit Island that sent people to both the Heaven Domain and the Earth Domain. As long as they controlled this place, Jiang Yi and company would not be able to return to the Earth Domain.

A Pseudo Thearch-Ranked martial artist, the number-three person in the Dao Clan had arrived. The Chaos Sea four great clans’ clan heads immediately gathered to listen to his commands. Dao Leng did not actually leave the Ethereal Spirit Island. He held the fort there while he sent out fifty-odd other King-Ranked formidable martial artists. He also asked the four great clans to deploy their armies in a five-million-kilometer radius around the Demon-Killing Palace to seal it shut and wait for Jiang Yi to appear.

The four great clans worked in unison as they deployed all their formidable martial artists. A full five million formidable martial artists all teleported to the Random Star City and then rushed to the vicinity of the Demon-Killing Palace, forming a huge encirclement.

Teleportation out of the Demon-Killing Palace was automatic. However, as the radius for teleportation was five-hundred-thousand-kilometers, regardless of where Jiang Yi was teleported to; he would immediately be found out, surrounded, and killed.

The entire Chaos Sea was in an uproar. Jiang Yi had already caused a commotion previously when he killed a King-Ranked formidable martial artist from the Liang Clan; that had led to the deployment of many men to hunt and kill him.

Unfortunately, they had pursued Jiang Yi for days to no avail. The moment Jiang Yi had appeared and dashed into the Demon-Killing Palace, many people had a premonition that something was going to happen; alas, something indeed did happen. Dao Feng was killed while many clans’ King-Ranked bodyguards had been slaughtered as well.

The Teleportation Formations in the Ethereal Spirit Island lit up after many hours as formidable martial artists from each clan in the Heaven Domain were teleported over. Young Mistress Gongyang had come again while Young Master Liang and the other young masters and young mistresses had all returned, this time with their clans’ formidable martial artists.

They were prepared to coordinate with Dao Leng to kill Jiang Yi and redeem the Heaven Domain prestigious clans’ face.

Formidable martial artists were everywhere in the Chaos Sea now; at least three to four hundred King-Ranked formidable martial artists were present while a Pseudo Thearch-Ranked martial artist was personally holding the fort in the Ethereal Spirit Island and had set an elaborate trap to kill one Jiang Yi.

The Teleportation Formations to the Earth Domain were also all sealed. No one from the Earth Domain could teleport up while no one could descend to the Earth Domain as well. Dao Leng did not take even one step out of the Ethereal Spirit Island. As long as Jiang Yi could not return to the Earth Domain—no matter how or where he fled, he would end up dead.

…

Jiang Yi did not know that so many formidable martial artists had gathered, waiting for him to appear. He brought Poison Spirit and sped about the maze. After running for a few hours, they still did not find the entrance or He Nongying.

“How big is this place exactly?”

Jiang Yi was a little exasperated. They had run about for so many hours; they still had not found a way out? If they hadn’t been following He Nongying’s scent, Jiang Yi would have thought that they were lost.

Swish!

Since they had already come so far, what could Jiang Yi do? He could only follow the scent and continue forward, putting all his hopes on He Nongying.

Every path in this maze looked the same. The walls and ceiling had restrictions; even the luminous pearls on the ceiling were exactly the same. Jiang Yi had been in here for so long and did not notice a single difference in the passageways, much less finding a loophole or clue to the real entrance.

After running about for a full sixteen hours, Jiang Yi and Poison Spirit finally stopped. There was no path ahead of them anymore; they had actually found He Nongying.

He Nongying was seated ahead, cross-legged, as a look of serenity and peace was on her face. Hearing the footsteps, she opened her eyes, smiled slightly, and said, “Jiang Yi, you have arrived.”

“En?”

Jiang Yi asked Poison Spirit to step back as his white battle armor flashed and appeared while he released his mummy as well. His gaze fixed on He Nongying as he asked, “You knew that I would follow you?”

“Of course!”

He Nongying smiled slightly as she said, “As a matter of fact, I had purposely released this scent. You must have thought that I know the way out of this maze, right? Haha, I’m sorry. My clansmen had not entered this maze before; I have been walking about blindly. As you can see, this path is actually a dead end!”

“Uh?”

Jiang Yi’s face grew cold; He Nongying had actually led them on a wild goose chase? He didn’t mind that they had wasted time. More importantly, he could no longer find the correct entrance now. Once he walked a wrong path in this maze, he would be trapped here forever. Now, he could only wait to be teleported out.

“Keke!”

He Nongying smiled lightly as she said, “Jiang Yi, you are a very lucky person. I naturally couldn’t let you walk in this maze as you pleased and find the Demon-Killing Sword, Demon-Killing Armor, or the Demon-Killing Palace. You should sit here with me and wait till it’s time to be teleported out. Eh? You’re wearing Dao Feng’s battle armor? You killed him? You have balls. I hope that you can live to return to the Earth Domain.”

Buzz!

A hexagonal jade talisman appeared in He Nongying’s hand as she broke it furiously and was teleported back to the Heaven Domain, leaving behind Jiang Yi whose face was now full of anguish and agony.

He Nongying’s intention had been clear: if she couldn’t get the Demon-Killing Sword, Demon-Killing Armor, or Demon-Killing Palace; neither could Jiang Yi. As long as Jiang Yi couldn’t find them, these treasures would sooner or later be the Heaven Domain great family clans’—be her He Clan’s.
