Chapter 903: City Remains

After Ye Ying ordered to set up the formation, over 20 men stood around him and formed a strange circular array. They spun around him quickly before rushing forward rapidly. Jiang Yi extended his divine senses in surprise and saw a very magical scene.

Once the group went forward, the astral winds were naturally triggered. However, as they were spinning around Ye Ying, the astral winds didn’t just attack one person. Instead, the astral winds attacked them in rotation.

When the divine shield of the person who was struck darkened, another person would instantly step forward and handled the next attack by the astral winds. The previous person—on the other hand—infused essence forces back to his divine shield, increasing the strength of the shield to the maximum again. In this way, everyone only bore one round of attack by the astral winds, which wouldn’t be fatal.

“The man who created this array formation is brilliant!”

Jiang Yi nodded secretly in approval. Of course, it required years of practice. Otherwise, if one person took the wrong step, the entire array would be disrupted; and many people would be killed.

“Dash!”

With people blazing a trail in front of him, Jiang Yi was happy to reap what they sowed. The astral winds were consumed when colliding with the divine shields and wouldn’t flow over in a short time. Jiang Yi was very safe to follow them.

The Purgatory Ruin had existed for 100,000 years. The treasures and spirit herbs on the periphery were already cleaned up. To obtain the real treasures, one had to go to the center. Even though the astral winds at the center might get stronger and stronger, there would be no point to enter the Purgatory Ruin if one didn’t want to take the risk.

Jiang Yi followed Ye Ying and his group. He traveled forward for several kilometers; sure enough, the men in front noticed him. A Ye Clan’s martial expert cursed. “A bastard is following up. Damn, he’s taking our advantages.”

Ye Ying released his divine senses and instantly said in a sneer, “Stay focused on the road and don’t care about him. What difference will it make by following us? Won’t he die in the end?”

The astral winds in front were getting stronger and stronger. Jiang Yi appeared to be at the level one or two of the Heaven Monarch Realm. As far as Ye Ying saw, he might lose his life anytime. Naturally, he didn’t want to waste his time on Jiang Yi.

As Ye Ying gave the order, those divine senses stopped sweeping over. They were not bothered to have a look at Jiang Yi. Perhaps in their minds, Jiang Yi was just a dog that picked up some bones behind him.

Jiang Yi went forward very easily along the way. After two hours, he began to see some broken stones and some collapsed houses.

Ye Ying, his group, and Jiang Yi all jolted with excitement. It seemed like they were in the inner region of the ruin. It was the residence of an ancient great clan. Logically, treasures were in the city remains.

“Uh…”

Jiang Yi detected a lot of bones in the city remains, too. The bones were very big; most of them were over three-meter long, which meant that the clansmen of this ancient clan were giants. They were over three meters long, as strong as the elephants.

Slowly, there were more and more collapsed buildings. Jiang Yi and the rest released their divine senses and couldn’t see the end at all. Collapsed castle, broken cliffs, and bones were everywhere. Curiously, there were fewer astral winds in these remains.

“Alright, dismiss the array formation. Everyone, split up and watch out for the astral winds!”

Ye Ying gave the commands. Jiang Yi dared not to follow them anymore. Otherwise, if the Ye Clan martial experts found him annoying and attacked him straight away, it would be very troublesome.

He hid inside a room and kept still. A person in a distance detected his presence, but when he saw that Jiang Yi behaved himself, he didn’t waste time to fly over to kill him. He flew around and searched for treasures instead.

“Wow, Young Master, I find a pseudo-divine artifact!”

“Young Master, there is a rare Black Muddy Grass!”

The Ye Clansmen soon had a lot of finds. They found some weapons on skeletons in a while. There were two pseudo-divine artifacts and several strange treasures. Jiang Yi didn’t dare to be greedy and continued to hide under the remains. The Ye Clan martial experts didn’t bother to attack him and just ignore him straight away.

“Let’s go!”

After searching the surroundings, Ye Ying waved his hand and led the group to continue moving forward. Jiang Yi didn’t go out; it should be very safe here. He was going to try out the Divine Perception to test whether it would explore father.

Divine Perception indeed didn’t let him down, but he felt a bit disappointed at the same time.

Although the Divine Perception worked, it could only reach as far as 500 kilometers, which was 100,000 times closer than that outside the ruin. However, as compared to the divine senses which only spread as far as three kilometers, it was much better.

He easily found that Ye Ying and his group were hunting for treasure in front. It was all ruins 15 kilometers away from the place he was at now. It should be another city remains. He also noticed that there were the remains of another city several hundred kilometers away on his left. Right now, Ling Qijian was searching with his group over there.

What gave him a headache was that even though the astral winds were weaker in the city remains, the winds were ten times stronger once leaving the city. It would be very troublesome for him to go forward!

The problem was he couldn’t find the Fire-Snake Orchid, Wu Ni, and Ji Tingyu if he didn’t go forward.

“Let’s go!”

He thought for a while and decided to go the right to try his luck.

Ye Ying and his group were still searching in front. Jiang Yi left from the right side and didn’t startle them. When Jiang Yi was about to exit the city remains, a pearl in his hand glowed before a heatwave shrouded the surroundings. Even Ye Ying and his group noticed it, but the range of their divine senses was very small. By the time they got closer in suspicion, Jiang Yi already disappeared into the distance.

“Damn, the Thunder Fire is used up so fast!”

Jiang Yi released the Thunder Fire Divine Shield; otherwise, even if Jiang Yi entered the state of the Union of Heaven and Man and could bypass the region with strong astral winds, he would still be unable to go forward. While he was running, his Thunder Fire Divine Shield kept shaking from attacks of the astral winds.

He moved left and right, up and down, and appeared like an acrobat. From time to time, he threw himself on the ground. In the state of the Union of Heaven and Man, he could find the safest route and was only attacked by at most two astral winds every time. Otherwise, when he encountered a dozen astral winds at the same time, even his Thunder Fire Divine Shield wouldn’t handle the force; and he would be killed straight away.

“I can’t continue to use the Thunder Fire. Otherwise, if the Thunder Fire is used up, I will be doomed once a powerful enemy showed up!”

After traveling for over a dozen kilometers, the Thunder Fire Divine Shield burst. Jiang Yi clenched his teeth and decided to replace the Thunder Fire with the Nine Heavens Dragon Flames. Although it was easier for the Dragon Flame divine shield to crack, he still had black iron armor which would save his life at the crucial moment. He just needed to congeal the Dragon Flame divine shield a few times more, which was no big deal.

As expected!

After only seven attacks, his dragon flame divine shield made from the Nine Heavens Dragon Flames was broken. He had to stop and congeal another dragon flame divine shield before continuing.

He stopped from time to time and was slower. After traveling for over 100 kilometers, he dug a small pit using the black iron heavy sword and buried himself in. Then, he released the Divine Perception again to explore the surroundings.

“Hey… there are city remains 15 kilometers away, and no one is there right now?! I hope that the treasures there are not all gone!”

Jiang Yi checked the surroundings and made sure that no one was around. Then, he rushed to the city remains as fast as possible.
