Chapter 970: Ambush

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The mind would be in a state of disorder when one was concerned!

Ji Tingyu had guessed Jiang Yi’s thoughts accurately, and she was clear that Jiang Yi was a very intelligent person. He was very terrifying when he was calm, and it would be hard to find any loopholes on him.

Since that was the case, she had to make him anxious. A fake Su Ruoxue was enough to make him lose his cool. As long as he was no longer calm, he would no longer be invulnerable. As long as they could catch one loophole, it would be enough to consign him to eternal d.a.m.nation.

Take this moment for instance: some trick had been done to this fake Su Ruoxue by Ji Tingyu, and her soul spirit was deep asleep. Jiang Yi wasn’t thinking that this Su Ruoxue was a fake but had been poisoned. He would a.s.sume that Wu Ni had made use of some antidote for the poison to impede him.

“What happened to Young Lady Su?”

In North Level City, Qi Tianyu’s brows were knitted together, and he asked when looking at Su Ruoxue.

Qi Tianyu was very clear about how much Su Ruoxue meant to Jiang Yi. He had risked everything to go against the Wu Clan for this moment and cleansed the four regions with blood. Qi Tianyu naturally had to ask clearly and didn’t dare to casually take her.

Wu Ni spoke calmly, “When this woman was teleported to Chief Hall back then, her strength was too weak; and the extremely long-distance teleportation had shaken her soul spirit. If we didn’t use spirit medicine to treat her, she would have been dead a long time ago. When you bring her away, you better don’t use the teleportation array. Otherwise, do not blame us when she dies. As to whether she can wake up or not, it will be up to Jiang Yi if he could find some peak-grade soul spirit medicine. Alright… where is the ancient artifact?”

“We cannot use the teleportation array?”

Qi Tianyu was greatly alarmed. If they couldn’t use the teleportation array, what were they going to use to transport ‘Su Ruoxue’? Could it be that they must use a Heaven Fate s.h.i.+p to travel to Sin Island? It was very far away from here—let alone the fact that the Wu Clan might be up to something, the safety along the way would truly be a headache for them. Jiang Yi had mentioned that they had to escort her to Sin Island, and if there were any mishaps, they wouldn’t be able to redeem themselves even if they died ten thousand times.

Qi Tianyu’s divine senses scanned ‘Su Ruoxue’ and noticed that her soul spirit was indeed very frail, like a candle flame that might extinguish anytime in the wind. He didn’t dare to act in a rush and transmitted a message to his subordinate in the city. That person quickly teleported away and brought a hundred men over after 15 minutes.

“En?”

When one hundred men teleported out, the city’s guards were extremely nervous. These one hundred men were at least high-stage Heaven Monarchs, and there were thirty of them that had reached the peak stage of the Heaven Monarch Realm.

“Jiang Yi actually had so many powerful subordinates? Are they people from Sin Island?”

When Wu Ni received the report, his straight brows locked together and silently cursed at the Wu Clan’s intelligence department who were all useless people. So many spies had infiltrated this place, and there wasn’t even a rumor. If DemiG.o.d experts were to sneak into the continent, how many of their Nine Thearchs Clans’ members would be killed?

Qi Tianyu asked most of the men to standby outside and only allowed four men to enter the city lord residence. He then took out the ancient artifact and tossed it to Wu Ni before asking the four men to carry Su Ruoxue away.

“Convey the message to Jiang Yi. A man must keep his promise. If he didn’t, then he shall face the consequences!”

Wu Ni examined the ancient artifact and knew that it was trash. He said a statement to Qi Tianyu coldly before he turned and walked towards the inner courtyard. Qi Tianyu and the others then swiftly moved to the west of the city under the eyes of countless experts.

After exiting the west city gate, Qi Tianyu took out a medium-sized Heaven Fate s.h.i.+p and asked everyone to board the s.h.i.+p before they flew to the west rapidly. At the same time, he used a special method and asked someone to send a message to Jiang Yi, relaying a report to Jiang Yi and seeking for the next instruction.

Jiang Yi’s heart was so anxious that it felt like it was burning, but he didn’t dare to approach the Heaven Fate s.h.i.+p. When he obtained the information, he had also gotten a headache. If they were to fly like this, the journey would take at least a year, and it wouldn’t be as peaceful.

The question was… who would dare to use Su Ruoxue’s life and take the risk? Her soul spirit was simply too weak, and if they teleported like this, her soul spirit might truly crumble and would be completely dead.

“Hire the Tang Clan’s Heaven Fate s.h.i.+p. It doesn’t matter how much celestial stones it costs. Ask them to escort Su Ruoxue to the Waterfront Region, and after going out to the sea, ask Sin Island to send experts for escorts.”

Finally, Jiang Yi thought of a plan that wasn’t really a solution. If they were to ride the Tang Clan’s Heaven Fate s.h.i.+p, they wouldn’t only be faster, but they would also be much safer.

Qi Tianyu’s men quickly contacted the Tang Clan, but they had been rejected. The Tang Clan might never have been involved in the disputes of the continent and would do anything as long as they could have profits. However, this matter overly significant, and they didn’t dare to act recklessly. Jiang Yi was a spy from Sin Island and helping him would be to collude with the enemy and would be making the Nine Thearchs Clans their enemy.

The Tang Clan stated that they could sell a top-cla.s.s Heaven Fate s.h.i.+p to Jiang Yi at the price of 300 billion celestial stones!

“Buy, buy, buy!”

The Endless Deep Sea didn’t lack celestial stones, and as long as they could ensure Su Ruoxue’s safety, this amount of celestial stones was nothing. Without the need for Jiang Yi to give the orders, Qi Tianyu immediately transmitted the message to Qi Tianchen and Qi Tianchen immediately gave the orders to buy the s.h.i.+p. He then mobilized another one thousand experts that were secretly smuggled into the continent to escort and safeguard Su Ruoxue’s safety.

The top-cla.s.s Heaven Fate s.h.i.+p’s speed was fast, and the barrier was very powerful. Regular bandit legions wouldn’t dare to provoke such top-cla.s.s Heaven Fate s.h.i.+ps. With over a thousand experts as deterrence, it would further prevent the bandit legions from acting. As long as Jiang Yi didn’t reveal himself and didn’t get killed, Qi Tianyu and the men should be safe.

In a small city, Qi Tianyu received the Heaven Fate s.h.i.+p from the Tang Clan, and ten days later, the one thousand high-stage Heaven Monarchs that Qi Tianchen mobilized had also arrived. Among them, there were over one hundred peak-stage Heaven Monarchs, and there were five Five-Star experts. These were the strongest forces that the Shadow Emperor could mobilize, only lacking Qi Tianchen who wasn’t sent over.

Jiang Yi let out a breath of relief. With these guards, the journey should be safe. Of course, with the conditions that he didn’t get killed by the Wu Clan’s members.

He was even more cautious and had barely made any contact with Qi Tianyu’s group. Of course, he had been tailing from behind but set a distance of ten million miles from the Heaven Fate s.h.i.+p. He constantly checked the surroundings to ensure the absolute safety of the Heaven Fate s.h.i.+p.

The Wu Clan was very obedient and didn’t send anyone to follow the Heaven Fate s.h.i.+p. Jiang Yi was constantly scouting the vicinity of the Heaven Fate s.h.i.+p and didn’t notice anyone stalking them. They were just about to exit the Wu Clan’s territories and arrived in Yi Clan’s four regions. Jiang Yi had also let out a big relaxed breath.

“It is too peaceful!”

On a mountain peak, Jiang Yi had used the Mirage Divine Ability to transform into a violent bear while his giant eyes were filled with bewilderment. How could the Wu Clan possible let him go like this? Were they going to simply let them leave? This wasn’t the operation style of the Nine Thearchs Clans.

Strange things must have a catch!

However, Jiang Yi didn’t know what the catch was. He rested for one hour and didn’t bother about his exhausted soul spirit and released the Divine Perception to scout again. The Heaven Fate s.h.i.+p should have arrived inside the Yi Clan’s territories by now, right?

“En?”

When Jiang Yi tracked the Heaven Fate s.h.i.+p with his Divine Perception, he discovered a situation that had alarmed him extremely.

The Heaven Fate s.h.i.+p had just entered the Yi Clan’s territory and was above a gigantic mountain range and had suffered powerful attacks. Qi Tianyu and his group were in an intense battle with a bandit legion. Wrong… it should be a few bandit legions as there were at least a few tens of thousands of bandits. There were countless experts, and Qi Tianyu had already lost half their men!

“Ji Tingyu!”

It was at this moment that Jiang Yi found out what the catch was. Ji Tingyu had made her move, and it was an overt plot. She had bribed the bandits to attack the Heaven Fate s.h.i.+p. If Jiang Yi didn’t rescue them, Qi Tianyu, ‘Su Ruoxue’, and his men were all going to die. If he rescued them… he might be ambushed by an army.

“Kill!”

How could Jiang Yi not rescue them? Could he watch as ‘Su Ruoxue’, Qi Tianyu, and his men perish?

The answer was clear!
