Swish! Swish!
In the depths of the Netherworld Forest, there were nine figures which were traversing rapidly. They had anxious expressions while their robes and hair were in a complete mess. There were places on their robes which were slashed open.
“Young Clan Head, there are traces here!”
One of them suddenly shouted while the others responded by turning around immediately and scanning the place. Indeed, there were clear signs of a battle between a human and a demonic beast. Everyone was reinvigorated as they continued to move on when one of them yelled out again, “Young Clan Head, look! There is a giant footprint, and it looks like Young Master Yi’s Zouwu Beast’s prints!”
“En, the size is around the same.”
Everyone took a glance and was spirited again. Carried by a Soul Travel Realm expert, Zhan Wushuang took a glance and nodded. “It looks similar. Follow it!”
As they were following the trail, they quickly saw a few demonic beasts which were killed by a blast. When Zhan Wushuang and his group saw the remnants of fear in one of the eyes of the demonic beast, they quickly determined that it was done by Jiang Yi.
Apart from his Massacre Intent, not even a peak-stage Soul Travel Realm expert would be able to kill a tier-three demonic beast with such ease, right? Furthermore, this tier-three demonic beast experienced much fear before death, which meant it was frightened by Jiang Yi’s killing aura.
Everyone continued their search but quickly halted. Zhan Wushuang’s expression was extremely gloomy and immense. There was white fog that suddenly appeared in front of them.
“It’s all over...”
One of the Soul Travel Realm experts let out a deep sigh and said, “Young Master Yi has entered the Witch God’s forbidden ground. Long ago, a Vajra Realm martial expert from the Great Xia Kingdom entered this place and never returned!”
Everyone was at a loss and didn’t know what to do. No one dared to enter because no one had ever come back out after entering.
Swish!
Zhan Wushuang suddenly circulated his essence force and flew forward, but the Zhan Clan’s expert beside him reacted faster. The expert’s body flashed and immediately grabbed onto Zhan Wushuang. The rest of the people quickly reacted and surrounded Zhan Wushuang in panic.
“Let me go!”
Zhan Wushuang’s handsome face was completely distorted as he yelled out with agony, “I have to go in and look for Jiang Yi. Otherwise, how will I have the face to go back and see Su Ruoxue? Sister Xiaonu? If you still acknowledge me as a Young Clan Head, then let me go!”
Bang!
The response to Zhan Wushuang was a blunt hand chop. A peak-stage Soul Travel Realm expert knocked Zhan Wushuang out resolutely. His eyes flickered before he handed Zhan Wushuang over to another person and informed. “All of you will return with Young Clan Head immediately. There is no need to return to the Great Xia Kingdom. Just head straight to the Divine Martial Kingdom. If Young Clan Head makes a fuss again, knock him out again! Send someone to pass the message to Young Master Qian and Queen Ruoxue! Yun Lu should also be in the Witch God’s forbidden ground. Otherwise, Young Master Yi wouldn’t have entered. This operation is very successful. Go back and report.”
Swish!
After finishing his instructions, the Soul Travel Realm expert turned into an afterimage and rushed into the white fog. He then sent a message: “When Young Clan Head wakes up, help me to inform him that I went to search for Young Master Yi on his behalf. If... I never come back, then please trouble him to take care of my descendants.”
“He Lao!”
Everyone yelled out anxiously at the same time, but that peak-stage Soul Travel Realm expert had already vanished into the white fog.
“Let’s go!”
After everyone stared blankly for a moment, they then helplessly gritted their teeth and rushed towards the Great Xia Kingdom—as none of them dared to enter the forbidden ground. This pursuit of Yun Lu caused plenty of losses to both clans. The three peak-stage Soul Travel Realm experts were already turned into bones by Lu Lao’s sorcery. Now, another peak-stage Soul Travel Realm entered the forbidden ground, which was basically a trip of no return.
The scouts from the Mystic Dark City would be here quickly, and they didn’t dare to stay any longer either. The search of Jiang Yi had delayed them quite a bit. If they didn’t go now, they would soon be discovered.
...
“What? Boss entered the forbidden ground?”
After Qian Wanguan got to know this information, all his fatty flesh trembled, but he didn’t act rashly and wanted to go into the Netherworld Forest. Neither did he send anyone to go rescue Jiang Yi either. His eyes flickered, and he immediately yelled out, “Go inform Mentor Su about this immediately, but do not tell Sister Xiaonu. Ask Mentor Su to look for the little fox and request for the Demon Empress to help!”
Normal people only knew that the Netherworld Forest had a very dangerous forbidden ground. Only young masters from major clans like them would know how terrifying this forbidden ground was.
This forbidden ground appeared over three thousand years ago and was created by a peak-stage Vajra Realm martial expert from the Heaven Mystics Kingdom. Moreover, this martial expert was originally a prince of the Heaven Mystics Kingdom. After he lost the battle of ascension, he entered the depths of the Netherworld Forest to escape assassinations. Finally, due to fate, he coincidentally tamed a tier-four demon King. Because the Heaven Mystics Kingdom also had Vajra Realm martial expert, he didn’t recklessly seek revenge. Instead, he hid in the forest and devoted his study on the sorcery and formation arrays.
This martial expert had extraordinary talents. After cultivating in seclusion for thirty years, his overall strength was at the peak stage of the Vajra realm. He then led that demon king back to Mystic Heaven City and killed his own blood brother who was the King, in front of the Vajra Realm martial expert of the Heaven Mystics Kingdom! Afterward, he didn’t ascend to become the ruler. He went back to the Netherworld Forest instead. He devoted his heart to study the arts of sorcery, comprehending dao patterns and desiring to breakthrough to the Heaven Monarch.
Due to the fact that this person was very powerful and comprehended many ancient sorcery arts, many of the people in Heaven Mystics Kingdom wanted to be mentored by him and learn sorcery! Of course, many of the great clans’ descendants tried to enter by using their relationships. Thus, many individuals risked their lives and entered the depths of Netherworld Forest, which disturbed and bothered this martial expert. Finally, he set up a forbidden ground in the Netherworld Forest and declared to the world that whoever dared to enter would certainly die.
Once this declaration was out, many of the Heaven Mystics Kingdom’s people still risked their lives and enter. As a result, none of them came back out. One of the Vajra Realm martial experts from the Great Xia Kingdom didn’t believe it and went in as well, only to vanish forever. This incident was quite a sensation back in the continent. Majority of the people said that this Heaven Mystics Kingdom’s martial expert might have broken through to the Heaven Monarch Realm and was going to rule the continent!
The depths of the Netherworld Forest had since become the forbidden ground. That Vajra Realm martial expert never came out ever since, and no one knew if he had broken through to the Heaven Monarch Realm yet. No one else dared to enter the Witch God’s forbidden ground; there were people who went in accidentally and never returned as well.
Over three thousand years had passed!
Even if that martial expert did breakthrough the Heaven Monarch Realm, he would be dead by now. There were certainly plenty of formidable killer formations and restrictions inside. Let alone a Soul Travel Realm expert, even a Vajra Realm martial expert might perish if they entered.
Qian Wanguan did feel the urgency, but he endured it and asked Su Ruoxue to request for the Demon Empress’ help through the little fox. In his heart, he felt that only the Demon Empress would be able to save Jiang Yi.
The news traveled to Su Ruoxue two days later. Her body went soft and immediately collapsed on the ground, but she quickly got back up and asked someone to lead Jiang Xiaonu away from the little fox. She then personally looked for the little fox.
When the little fox heard this, it also felt imperative. Under the protection from Su Ruoxue’s men, it went out of the north city gates and looked for the eighteen Demon Kings which were all in a nearby mountain. They then quickly departed for Mt. Thirty-Thousand.
“Grandma Tao!”
After Su Ruoxue saw the little fox left with the demon kings, she pretended to be calm and informed that old grandma. “Immediately ask someone to make a human skin mask that looks exactly like Jiang Lang. Find someone to pretend as Jiang Lang and ask him to appear occasionally. No one must know that Jiang Lang had vanished. Otherwise, the Heaven Mystics Kingdom would surely guess that it was Jiang Lang who killed Yun Lu...”
When the old grandma went to make arrangements, Su Ruoxue stood on the city walls and looked towards the southwest. Tears flowed down involuntarily from the corner of her eyes, which was quickly dried up by the wind. She then painfully closed her eyes and muttered, “Jiang Lang, you must come back out alive. Without you... how will Ruoxue continue to live?”
