Fury Towards The Burning Heaven-Chapter 1706 - Alarming the Enemy
Now that the Teleportation Formation had been destroyed, it was not possible for anyone who wanted to follow Jiang Yi to do so; not even Heavenly King Wei or Heavenly King Yun could!
However, the spy still brought Jiang Yi along at his fastest speed. Unfortunately, as the spy was only a God Thearch, his speed was so slow. Jiang Yi matched his speed, following behind rather relaxed; he did not look anxious at all.
After the spy flew for two hours, he turned and said to Jiang Yi, "Jiang Yi, bring me along and fly!"
"Why should I?" Jiang Yi glared as he said brazenly, "Fly on your own."
"You…"
The spy's eyes hardened. It was his first time seeing someone so crazed. His loved ones were being held hostage, but he still could act like a Chief? The spy thought for a moment and said coldly, "Don't you want to rescue the hostages sooner? If we fly so slowly and Heavenly King Wei and the others catch up, the three would definitely die."
"What do you know?!"
Jiang Yi sneered and replied, "Stop jabbering. If you continue with your nonsense, I'll kill you!"
"…"
The spy was really lost for words. However, he didn't dare to speak anymore. If Jiang Yi really wanted to kill him, that was a piece of cake. The two transformed into shooting stars as they continued heading west. Within the spatial zone, turbulence abounded. The duo sent their divine senses all around so that they could instantly avoid any such events.
After flying for around fifteen hours, Jiang Yi suddenly paused and stopped flying. The spy stopped warily and asked, "What's wrong? Let's go."
Buzz!
A ring in Jiang Yi's hand lit up as a guqin appeared. Jiang Yi pulled on it, and this spy's soul spirit experienced excruciating pain as he tumbled about in midair. Jiang Yi kept his guqin as he flashed; his Spatial-Tearing Gloves appeared. One of his hands held onto the spy's neck while another pierced into his abdomen and grabbed hold of his divine core.
"Jiang Yi, how dare you!"
The spy cried out in much pain; he didn't dare to move, however. Jiang Yi could easily destroy his divine core or break his neck.
Jiang Yi's eyes were ice-cold like a wild beast's as he stared at the spy. He said softly, "You are but someone insignificant; even if I kill you, the Dao Clan wouldn't mind. You should know this very clearly. If you don't want to live, let me know; I will send you to the Netherworld Realm. If you want to live, however, then answer me a few questions. I will give you a hundred million divine roots, and you can flee wherever you'd like."
The spy's eyes glistened. From Jiang Yi's gaze, he knew that Jiang Yi was not messing about. Furthermore, the spy knew Jiang Yi's character very well. This was someone that had the guts to even kill Dao Feng; Jiang Yi would not hesitate to kill him.
The spy was not a fool, however. He gritted his teeth and said, "What if I cooperate with you and you then kill me?"
"I have said that you are insignificant. To me, you are nothing!"
Jiang Yi replied coldly. "Since that is the case, killing or not killing you would not affect me at all. I am someone important after all; my word is gold."
"Alright!"
The spy gritted his teeth as he said, "If I betray the Dao Clan, my wife and kid will die as well. Jiang Yi, I want you to swear the Heavenly Thearch Blood Oath; only then will I tell you what you want to know. If not, I'd rather die."
"Alright!" Jiang Yi did not hesitate as he relaxed slightly internally. This spy had indeed been tempted by the hundred million divine roots. As his options were death or fleeing with a hundred million divine roots, normal people would choose the latter. If his wife died, he could remarry; he could also produce more offspring in the future. However, if he lost his life, that was game over.
"Who from the Dao Clan had come this time?"
"The Family Head and Cold Thearch!"
"They are definitely not within the Longtan Mystic Realm, right? Are they hiding nearby?"
"Eh… you could even guess this? There actually aren't many people in Longtan Mystic Realm; most of the formidable martial artists are hidden outside. As to where exactly, I do not know. I am not high-ranking enough."
"Do you have a map of the vicinity of the Longtan Mystic Realm?"
"Yes!"
Since this spy was going to bring Jiang Yi to the Longtan Mystic Realm, he naturally would bring along the map of the surroundings. After he took out his map, Jiang Yi started to examine it closely. The spy didn't know what Jiang Yi wanted to do as he stood at one side recuperating while keeping watch on Jiang Yi.
A few small mystic realms surrounded the Longtan Mystic Realm; these were mystic realms without any spirit energy. Jiang Yi took a few looks as he gestured and said, "Let's go!"
"Let's go?" The spy's eyes blinked as he said, "Jiang Yi, didn't you say you were going to let me go?"
"I did; however, not now. Once we are near the Longtan Mystic Realm, I will naturally let you go. I'm afraid that you would alert them beforehand if I let you go now. Furthermore, once you bring me to the vicinity of the Longtan Mystic Realm, the Dao Clan would not be suspicious of you betraying them and won't pursue and kill you."
Jiang Yi coldly said this as he started flying forward. The spy thought for a moment and felt that Jiang Yi's words actually made sense. If he fled now, the Dao Clan would definitely think he had betrayed them. Once they neared the Longtan Mystic Realm, then he would be absolved of such suspicion.
The two continued to fly and curiously, they did not encounter patrols on the way; there weren't any Chaos Divine Boats chasing after them as well.
As Chaos Divine Boats were faster than them, even if the Teleportation Formations had been destroyed, by right; they should be able to catch up. Since Jiang Yi had left the seal stone behind—based on Heavenly King Wei and others' intellect, they ought to have easily identified that he was headed to the Longtan Mystic Realm.
The only explanation was… the Dao Clan had made other plans that have delayed Heavenly King Yun and the others. The patrols nearby must have been diverted long ago as well. All had been arranged, and all that was left was Jiang Yi's arrival.
As they grew closer to the Longtan Mystic Realm, Jiang Yi grew more and more anxious. Seeing a black dot in the distance, he hurriedly took out the map and scanned it. He determined that this small mystic realm ahead was the Longtan Mystic Realm; they were only two hours away from the Longtan Mystic Realm.
Swish!
Under the spy's directions, Jiang Yi swiftly headed to the vicinity of the Longtan Mystic Realm. When they got really close, Jiang Yi's aura suddenly was unleashed as he shot straight into the Longtan Mystic Realm.
This mystic realm did not have Primordial Astral Gas outside; only faint black fog was present outside it. Jiang Yi entered easily as he played a note furiously on his guqin, and a horrifying guqin sound rang out in the entire mystic realm.
"Uh?"
"Ah…"
A few cries of pain echoed in the mystic realm as tens of men suddenly appeared from a deep crevice below, hugging their heads and tumbling in midair. Jiang Yi's hand lit up as a huge mummy appeared, and he flew downward. His mummy easily clawed these men to death.
"This…"
The spy's eyes narrowed. These men were definitely Dao Clan scouts that were hiding here. They had been forced out by Jiang Yi's playing and were now being slaughtered.
Not all of them!
Jiang Yi had left one alive. However, this person's divine core had been torn out. The guqin music finally stopped as Jiang Yi coldly said, "Send a message to Dao Nù and Dao Leng; if they want to kill me, they have to catch me first."
After speaking, Jiang Yi flew towards the spy as he tossed a ring to the spy and said, "Alright, your mission is accomplished. This is a hundred million divine roots; whether you can escape or not, that depends on your luck."
Swish!
The mummy flashed with light as it brought Jiang Yi along as a beam of light and flew northward. The spy grabbed onto the ring as his entire being shuddered. He looked at Jiang Yi's back and cursed, "Jiang Yi, you lied to me; you will die a horrible death."
There were indeed one hundred million divine roots in the ring. However, Jiang Yi's actions had made it clear that this spy had betrayed the Dao Clan. The Dao Clan clansmen were all around; where could he flee to?
Although the Longtan Mystic Realm was to the west, Jiang Yi had chosen to fly north and had left a scout alive to send a message to Dao Nù and Dao Leng. The spy vaguely knew Jiang Yi's intention.
He wanted to alarm the enemy and make them come after him while others saved the hostages!
Since Dao Nù and Dao Leng's target was Jiang Yi, knowing that Jiang Yi was flying northward, they would definitely pursue him.
At that time, fewer formidable martial artists would be present near the Longtan Mystic Realm. If Jiang Yi could last as long as it took for Heavenly King Wei and company to save the three hostages and come to his aid, he would be able to live. This time, Jiang Yi planned to save the hostages no doubt. He was here to save them, not to court his own death!
"His reputation is indeed not just for show. I'm not going to care so much; I'll flee first."
The spy exclaimed as he hurriedly started to fly south desperately. He kept on praying along the way that the Dao Clan would focus solely on killing Jiang Yi and ignore an insignificant person like him.
