Chapter 1710: Nice Job

Dao Leng and Dao Nù hunted Jiang Yi down in anger while countless Chaos Divine Boats surrounded and closed in on the Longtan Mystic Realm from within a five-million-kilometer radius. The entire sky was filled with these Chaos Divine Boats!

In the recent few years, this was the greatest number of soldiers that the Nine Yang Army had deployed for battle.

Apart from the six armies, the rest of the Nine Yang Army had been activated. Under the command of Heavenly King Wei, they took Teleportation Formations out into the void. Then, they teleported from various interchanges to the ones nearest to the Longtan Mystic Realm. At last, they took Chaos Divine Boat towards their destination.

How long had it been since Jiang Yi left the Flying Feather Command?

Just twenty hours after Jiang Yi left, tens of millions of soldiers from the Nine Yang Army had already arrived in the void. One could tell from this situation how fast and coordinated the entire army was.

However, this could also be attributed to the fact that the Nine Yang Army was perpetually going on missions outside the void. This explained why they were always battle-ready and efficient.

Two Heavenly Kings led the entire army and caused them to form a huge net that surrounded the mystic realm. Heavenly King Wei and Heavenly King Yun acted alone, rushing towards the Longtan Mystic Realm as quickly as they could. When Dao Nù and Dao Leng went after Jiang Yi, they were already in the vicinity of the mystic realm.

Swish!

The two of them formed six streams of light across the sky. However, as if there was a spatial zone turbulence, nobody could see their faces clearly. All they could see were figures rushing past, disappearing into the darkness.

Both of them were eager. The Dao Clan had spent so much time and effort plotting to kill Jiang Yi. They even deployed so many people. This allowed the two Heavenly Kings to guess what the Dao Clan’s true motive was: they wanted to learn about the Heavenly Thearch from Jiang Yi.

In other words, the Dao Clan or the Azure Supreme Thearch—for some reason—found out that Jiang Yi was the Heavenly Thearch’s successor. They must have suspected that Jiang Yi was somehow related to the Heavenly Thearch. Otherwise, they would not spend so many resources on one mere Jiang Yi.

The fact that the Dao Clan spent so many resources trying to kill Jiang Yi proved all-the-more to the two Heavenly Kings that Jiang Yi was the Heavenly Thearch’s successor. The Nine Yang Army was the Heavenly Thearch’s guards. How could they stand by and watch as the Heavenly Thearch’s successor got killed? Although they did not know whether this successor was worth their loyalty, they needed to at least give him the time and chance to prove himself to them.

The Heavenly Thearch’s successor could be trash, and they could choose not to follow the Heavenly Thearch’s successor. However, they had to spend all their effort protecting him because this was the man whom the Nine Yang Heavenly Thearch chose!

Ten minutes later, the two Heavenly Kings arrived at the Longyuan Mystic Realm. They activated their powerful divine senses and found clues of Jiang Yi’s battle here. However, the corpses had already been reduced to ash. All they could find were traces of blood.

“Something’s amiss! There’s somebody!”

Heavenly King Wei looked around, and his eyes suddenly lit up. As quickly as an eagle, he soared towards the huge abyss in the Longyuan Mystic Realm. However, before he could even arrive at the abyss, he suddenly halted in midair. A blinding light shone at him from below. Then, there was a series of explosions. The mountains shook, and huge rocks filled the abyss. The deafening explosive sounds echoed throughout the abyss, reverberating continuously.

“Suicide?”

A look of rage crossed Heavenly King Yun’s face. The Dao Clan was not planning to leave any evidence behind, were they? Even the scouts that were sent here to stand guard had to kill themselves so decisively.

“Second Brother, don’t look anymore! Go to the Longtan Mystic Realm!”

Heavenly King Wei paused. Then, his body turned into a stream of light as he rushed towards the west. Heavenly King Yun regained his composure and followed him closely. This scout must have informed the people at the Longtan Mystic Realm about their arrival before he killed himself.

The two of them rushed to the Longtan Mystic Realm as quickly as they could and arrived within an hour. They did not find any signs of scouts in the nearby mystic realms.

“Go in!”

Heavenly King Wei led the way into the mystic realm, tearing his way through the Primordial Astral Gas. A light beam shot out of his palm as he advanced forward, and Heavenly King Yun stuck behind him. Both of them entered the mystic realm easily.

Swish!

The moment they entered, their divine senses poured into the surroundings like streams of water. They wanted to quickly grasp the situation in the mystic realm. What astonished them was that they could not find a single person in their sights. However, they found countless low-grade Netherworld Envoys.

“Let’s go!”

The Longtan Mystic Realm was huge. Even both of their divine senses could not cover the entire area. They locked in on a huge lake in the middle of the mystic realm and quickly rushed over to take a look.

“Descend!”

The lake was very deep. When they arrived at the surface of the lake, they jumped down towards the base of the water body. As they did this, they released their divine senses and searched around. Very quickly, their expressions changed. There was not a single person underwater. However, what they both saw were two huge array formations. One of them was destroyed, and the other one had been torn open.

They were very familiar with one of those array formations. They had seen it before: the Titled God Demon-Trapping Formation. This was the scene that they saw in the seal stone. However, there were three people stuck in this array in the seal stone. At that moment, the three people seemed to have disappeared without a trace. The array formation had been destroyed. The Heavenly Kings had no way of knowing whether the Phantom King and the two other sovereigns had been killed or taken away.

The other array formation was a Teleportation Formation. It was obvious that it was newly built. Now, it was torn apart. This showed that the other connected Teleportation Formation had already been destroyed. That would explain why this Teleportation Formation would fall apart.

“Nice job!”

No matter how frustrated they felt, Heavenly King Wei and Heavenly King Yun had to give it to Dao Nù.

The people in the Longtan Mystic Realm had probably only moved here a while ago. Immediately, after the scout at the Longyuan Mystic Realm died, the people here left and destroyed the Teleportation Formation. All the evidence had been destroyed. Even if they knew the Dao Clan was responsible, they could not do anything about it.

“Where’s Jiang Yi? Has he been killed?”

Both of their hearts sank. Jiang Yi should have arrived here sooner than they did. After all, Jiang Yi had taken a Teleportation Formation straight through several interchanges. He must have ended up much closer to this mystic realm than they did.

“Jiang Yi should be alive!”

Heavenly King Wei used his divine senses to scan the surroundings. After pondering for several seconds, he said confidently, “If Jiang Yi was dead or captured, the Dao Clan’s people would have retreated. They would not have left their scout here to die for no reason.

“What’s more, Second Brother, feel the spirit energy around here. The spirit energy feels quite thick and rich. This shows that the Teleportation Formation had just been activated. The Dao Clan’s people only left just before we arrived.”

“That’s right!”

Heavenly King Yun’s eyes lit up. If the Dao Clan people got what they wanted, they would have left a long time ago. They would not have waited until now to leave in a hurry.

Yet, if Jiang Yi was not dead, where was he now?

Swish!

The two of them made one round around the Longtan Mystic Realm, using their divine senses to continue scanning the surroundings. Once they were sure that there was nothing to be found, they left. Heavenly King Yun sent a voice transmission to the remaining Heavenly Kings of the Nine Yang Army to update them about the situation there. Then, he instructed them to put together the clues from various locations and determine where Jiang Yi might be.

After he sent the voice transmission, they flew around, looking for clues. They wanted to see if they could find any more people from the Dao Clan or any more clues to put the puzzle together.

Buzz!

Five minutes later, Heavenly King Yun’s jade talisman lit up. He glanced at it, and his eyes lit up. In a low voice, he shouted, “Big Brother, Ninth Brother guessed that Jiang Yi has gone to the Poison Devil Wasteland. Dao Nù and Dao Leng should be chasing him now.”

“Let’s go!”

Ninth Brother was the best at strategizing among the thirty-six Heavenly Kings. All along, he had always been the military adviser to the Nine Yang Army. Heavenly King Wei did not doubt his guess at all. As fast as he could, he flew towards the Poison Devil Wasteland.

“Jiang Yi, hang in there!”

Both Heavenly Kings had been to the Poison Devil Wasteland before. They were very familiar with the terrain and environment there. Given their speed, they needed at least an hour to get there. If both Dao Nù and Dao Leng were working together to hunt him down, would Jiang Yi be able to fend them off for an hour?

The two of them did not know. Everything had to be left up to fate!
