Chapter 1325: Fleeing

Uncle Lu spoke with arrogance. That was because of his power and might gave him the right. In the Divine Eagle City, Uncle Lu’s battle prowess was among the top hundred; he was a mid-tier God King.

The strongest in the Divine Eagle City were Luo Fu, City Lord Luo, as well as the Demon-Killing Pavilion Lord. All three were peak-stage God Kings. In ordinary circumstances, there wasn’t any God Thearchs in ordinary cities. If someone reached the God Thearch, Heaven Emanation, or Demon-Killing Battle God levels; he would go to the prefecture city or directly to the few larger domains within the Heaven Domain. As Uncle Lu’s strength was that of a mid-tier God King, he was someone of importance in the Divine Eagle City. If not, he would not have been tasked to protect Luo Ting either.

Once he flew out of the Divine Boat, Uncle Lu’s divine senses immediately surged forward like a tide. His senses were extremely sensitive and detailed as he searched even fifty-thousand kilometers underground. He didn’t search anything beyond that as even he could not extend his divine senses any deeper than that. The soil of the Earth Emanations Domain grew harder the deeper it went. Once the fifty-thousand-kilometer mark was hit, normal God Kings would be hard-pressed to tunnel any deeper than that, much less a martial artist at Jiang Yi’s level.

Uncle Lu’s investigation speed was neither fast nor slow. Since so many people had checked repeatedly to no avail, Jiang Yi must be in possession of a very strong concealing mystical ability. Hence, Uncle Lu needed to be extremely detailed in his search; he was not going to leave any stone unturned.

He found some traces very quickly. Luo Ji had not been lying. Uncle Lu found signs of a battle between two people, and there was indeed an explosion caused by a Thunderbolt Rock. There were also traces of Yellow Scorpion Powder in the vicinity. Uncle Lu had also found Jiang Yi’s bloodstains. As Uncle Lu followed the trail—within one hour, he had arrived near the volcano where Jiang Yi was hiding.

Yet!

After Uncle Lu scoured the surroundings, he did not find any signs of Jiang Yi. Even after he had used his divine senses to scan the interior of the volcano and had swept over Jiang Yi who was sitting cross-legged on a protruding rock, Jiang Yi was not detected.

He had overestimated the strength of his own soul spirit, as well as the combined strength of the Mirage Divine Ability, the Art of Concealment, and the Rootless Water. It was understandable that the God Generals could not locate Jiang Yi. The most important thing was… Uncle Lu had been following the wrong signs.

Uncle Lu had been tracking traces left behind by Jiang Yi. However, Jiang Yi was very smart. He did not leave a single sign of his presence within the volcano. If he had used his Fire Dragon Sword and dug a cave or something like that, that would have been instantly detected by Uncle Lu. However, at this moment, there was no sign of any human activity within the volcano. Hence, Uncle Lu had casually swept his divine senses once and had carried on to look in another location.

Of course, this had gone so smoothly because of another reason. It was a reason that Jiang Yi himself did not know about. There were signs of blood near the volcano that stretched for a long way. There was one drop every thousand feet. Uncle Lu, with his powerful divine senses, could easily track these bloodstains and had been diverted away.

As for where these bloodstains came from?

If Jiang Yi knew that there were bloodstains nearby, he would have guessed that it was the doing of Luo Qingyan. In fact, Luo Qingyan had asked men to intentionally protect Jiang Yi. Based on Jiang Yi’s current strength and mystical abilities—if no one helped him, he was not going to be able to walk out alive from the volcano. Luo Qingyan had spent so much time, effort, and manpower; she was naturally not going to let this plan fail. Jiang Yi, as the bait, was not allowed to die before he reached the Fire Lake.

Hoo-hoo!

Once Uncle Lu had flown far away five minutes later, Jiang Yi finally opened his eyes and breathed out heavily. These few hours, numerous divine senses had swept by him. There was one that had been extremely terrifying and most likely the divine senses of a God King.

“What should I do?”

Jiang Yi’s brain turned quickly. The Rootless Water could still last for six hours. However, that God King seemed very terrifying. Jiang Yi was very afraid that after this God King searched the surroundings, he would return once more to investigate any suspicious locations. By then, the Rootless Water would have lost its effectiveness. Jiang Yi’s soul spirit would also be extremely weak, and he would not be able to escape.

After the China Root Elixir had worn off, Jiang Yi’s physical body had been very tired. However, exhaustion of the physical body was not as dangerous as the exhaustion of the soul spirit. Jiang Yi’s Art of Concealment would most likely stop working if his soul spirit became weak. At that time, even normal God Generals would be able to locate him.

Now that many hours had gone by, the physical weakness in Jiang Yi’s body had already disappeared. Jiang Yi could try and use another China Root Elixir and find a way to run towards the Fire Lake. As long as he reached the Fire Lake, Jiang Yi would have a chance at survival. There were many fire-element Chaos Beasts there; Jiang Yi was not afraid of fire at all!

“Go!”

Jiang Yi thought for a while and felt that this place was not safe anymore. He decided to take a risk. Once the Rootless Water wore off, he would definitely die if he remained here. If he acted now, he might still be able to live.

Buzz!

Jiang Yi used the Mirage Divine Ability to change his appearance as he changed into Luo Ji. In terms of battle armor, appearance, body shape; he was almost identical to Luo Ji. If it wasn’t someone who knew Luo Ji very well and traveled with him, no one would be able to tell that Jiang Yi was actually in disguise. There was, however, a difference in the duo’s soul spirit auras. However, as Jiang Yi’s Rootless Water had not lost its effectiveness—as long as he did not meet that God King, normal God Generals would not be able to tell them apart.

Swish!

Jiang Yi swallowed another China Root Elixir as his physical body grew ten-fold stronger. Like a huge beast, he leaped from the cliff at the mouth of the volcano and shot forward, keeping an eye out for his surroundings. He deduced the direction towards the Fire Lake and speedily headed there.

Jiang Yi’s physical body was very strong. However, he still could not fly. Without reaching the God General-level—without sufficient heavenly powers, he was still not able to resist the strong gravity of the Earth Emanations Domain. This time, Jiang Yi did not dare to jump that high, in case someone found him. His steps were also very light as he constantly entered the State of the Union of Heaven and Man to check on his surroundings.

“There is a movement to the left in front!’

After moving for five hundred kilometers, Jiang Yi suddenly stopped. He kept his aura immediately as he sat cross-legged under a big tree and activated his Art of Concealment.

As expected!

Within fifteen minutes, a streak of divine senses came spreading forward. Fortunately, it did not linger on Jiang Yi but continued spreading into the distance. From afar, there was also an ear-splitting sound as a God General hurriedly flew by and disappeared into the distance again.

“Go!”

Jiang Yi was sweating with cold sweat profusely. He was lucky he had his State of the Union of Heaven and Man and that the Rootless Water had amplified his soul spirit ten-fold. If not, he would not have been able to sense incoming enemies just by analyzing the spatial fluctuations. Jiang Yi’s resoluteness and quick response time had also saved him. If he had hesitated a few seconds more, he would probably had been discovered.

Jiang Yi became more excited. Having successfully avoided the detection of one God General, Jiang Yi was becoming more confident. This place was not far from the Fire Lake. If all went well, Jiang Yi could definitely reach the Fire Lake before his Rootless Water lost its effectiveness.

Swish!

Jiang Yi continued to move stealthily, even more careful this time. He constantly sensed the spatial fluctuations and stopped immediately once he sensed anything out of the ordinary, to activate his Art of Concealment at once.

“The sixth one!”

Four hours later, Jiang Yi once again managed to avoid another God General’s search. The journey had been rather peaceful; Jiang Yi had successfully avoided six God Generals and was just about to reach the Fire Lake.

Without using his map, Jiang Yi now already knew that the Fire Lake was just ahead. The terrain had steadily changed as he moved, and it became a red desert. There were no trees or bushes about, only reddish-brown soil and stones.

It was very clear that heat was being released from the Fire Lake. After a long time, the soil and stones had all become reddish-brown; no vegetation could grow. Jiang Yi tried keeping his Fire Spirit Pearl within his ring, but the high temperature made his sweat profusely, and his blood began to boil.

“I should be able to reach the Fire Lake within an hour!”

Jiang Yi took out his Fire Spirit Pearl as he excitedly continued his sprint. However, after ten minutes, he stopped abruptly, his face full of shock and grimace. There was a man seated beneath a mountain ahead. That person seemed to have been exhausted from flying and was taking a short break. It was precisely so that Jiang Yi had not been able to detect any spatial fluctuations and had not realized that man’s presence.

This was a God General. It was also a familiar God General; it was the same God General that had been hunting Jiang Yi together with Luo Ji.
