Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“To the east!”

Thirty kilometers under the Ghost Eye City, Jiang Yi rode on the Zouwu Beast, sprinting nonstop. There was an average-sized tunnel that extended towards the north, and after Jiang Yi gave chase for a moment, they realized that the tunnel began to turn. After giving chase for such a long time, they had yet to even spot a single person. If Jiang Yi had not been able to detect the scent of the little fox, they would have lost the target.

“Principal Qi, prepare for battle at any moment. The enemy is definitely strong, has heaven artifacts, and is very fast, too!”

After being in pursuit for two hours, Jiang Yi’s nose twitched as he felt that the scent was getting more intensive. Hence, he immediately informed Principal Qi and the others.

“Jiang Yi, don’t you worry! Even if we die, we will rescue the little fox back.”

Principal Qi, Vice Principal Liu, and the others looked at each other with eyes of determination. The little fox was closely related to the deaths of countless people, and the Demon Empress mentioned that as long as the little fox wasn’t handed over, she would not withdraw her army. If they couldn’t find the little fox, the entire continent would be devastated; and the death count would continue to rise. If they really had no other ways, Shui Youlan, Zhuge Qingyun, and the other martial experts would have no choice but to risk their lives. It would definitely end with both sides having grave losses.

“Eh?”

After sprinting for another few dozens of miles, the tunnel ahead actually extended towards the surface; and Jiang Yi could sense the little fox’s presence getting denser. He controlled the Zouwu Beast to rush upwards while using his enhanced hearing to listen carefully.

“They are right ahead—eight of them! All of them are above the seventh stage of Soul Travel Realm.”

Jiang Yi bellowed, to which Principal Qi and the others responded by drawing their weapons and getting ready for battle.

“Bang!”

The surface of the ground suddenly burst open as the Zouwu Beast broke through the surface. Principal Qi and the others immediately shot into the sky and scattered in all directions with lightning speed.

“Over there!”

Principal Qi scanned with her chilly eyes and dashed at extreme speed towards a tall mountain peak at the left while she roared out while the others quickly followed closely behind. Jiang Yi looked over, and he indeed saw eight shadows running at rapid speed. They were all dressed in stealthy clothing and were covering their faces with black cloths. Jiang Yi enhanced his vision with the black essence force and could see the individual at the front carrying a sack. He took a deep breath with his nose and roared out, “The little fox is in that sack!”

“Swish!”

Principal Qi and the others burst over while she roared out in mid-air, “All of you, stop right there and immediately release the little fox! I don’t care who prompted you to do so, but after kidnapping the Demon Empress’ daughter, you are the sinners of mankind. If you do not mend your ways, you shall become the public enemy of all humans!”

“Hmph!”

The black-robed individual that was carrying the sack, turned around, and let out a cold snort; his eyes were filled with murderous intent. His made a hand gesture while they split up five individuals to attack Principal Qi and the others. He and two others turned into afterimages and sprinted up the mountain peak, quickly vanishing in everyone’s eyes.

“Dragon Eagle!”

Jiang Yi felt imperative as he had painstakingly found this group of people. How could he look on helplessly and allow them to escape? When he saw Principal Qi and her group locked in an intense battle with the five enemies, he immediately withdrew the Zouwu Beast and took out another spirit beast talisman to summon the Dragon Eagle. He decided to pursue the three other enemies from the sky.

“Eh?”

Principal Qi and the other Vice Principals were startled. Wasn’t Jiang Yi’s spirit beast the Zouwu Beast? Why did it become a Dragon Eagle? The five individuals were already approaching, and they had no choice but to concentrate on combat. Principal Qi’s lips moved as she sent Jiang Yi a message: “Jiang Yi, you follow them and don’t let them escape. Wait for us to eliminate these five, and we will immediately catch up to you.”

“Chu-Chu!”

The Dragon Eagle flew up along as its wings gave rise to violent winds. Jiang Yi didn’t dare to ascend too high as he locked his eyes on the three individuals who were fleeing frantically. All three of them were formidable and were at least at the eighth stage of Soul Travel Realm, or even at the peak stage of Soul Travel Realm. The three of them were too fast. If Jiang Yi wasn’t flying in the sky across such rugged terrain, he would have lost them.

“Ji-Ji!”

Suddenly, a soft cry came echoing from the sack on the back of the black-robed individual, closely followed by two rays of white light that shot into Jiang Yi’s mind. A familiar voice echoed: “My Lord, quickly save Xiao Fei! Xiao Fei is so scared and wants to go find my Empress Mother!”

“Xiao Fei, little fox!”

Jiang Yi’s body shivered as he immediately roared, “Xiao Fei, don’t be scared, I will surely rescue you and bring you back to your mother!”

“My Lord, quickly save Xiao Fei! Xiao Fei will surely let my Empress Mother thank you greatly...”

Two white rays of light shot out again, and the black-robed individual realized it. He suddenly extended his hand and slammed on the sack, causing the little fox to faint.

He then swept a look at Jiang Yi in the sky and revealed a cruel smile as he yelled out coldly, “Kid, if you aren’t afraid of death, come chase me!”

“Hmph!”

Jiang Yi couldn’t be bothered to even argue with these people as he dove with the Dragon Eagle. The Fire Spirit Pearl had a flash which took out a Fire Spirit Rock. He then swiftly transferred the mysterious energy into the Dragon Eagle, to prevent it from burning to death. His hand executed a palm strike with lightning speed on the Fire Spirit Rock which was fuming with green flames, launching it towards the three of them below.

“En?”

The instant the Fire Spirit Rock appeared, it caused the surrounding air to heat up extremely, the air distorting like it was being burned up.

“Escape underground!”

Fortunately, Jiang Yi was quite a distance away from them; and their speed was too fast for the Fire Spirit Rock to catch up with them. The three of them were truly frightened; the one at the front quickly drew a golden longsword, slashing at the ground and quickly digging a tunnel before dashing in.

“Hu-Hu!”

As the Fire Spirit Rock fell, it immediately burned up all the surrounding trees, giving rise to flames. Soon enough, the prairie fire morphed into a blazing conflagration.

“Dragon Eagle, return!”

When Jiang Yi saw those people vanishing into the ground, he couldn’t care less anymore. He immediately withdrew the Dragon Eagle while summoning the Zouwu Beast to continue chasing.

Just as he rushed 3000 meters underground, he had this strong sense of danger that welled up in his heart. His eyes shrank as he immediately withdrew the Zouwu Beast while his Fire Spirit Pearl kept on radiating and endlessly releasing Earth Fire.

“Tsk-Tsk!”

A loud sound came from the left side of the mud wall suddenly as a crescent-shaped blade light flew over, turning all the obstructing mud and rocks into dust. It was like an unstoppable scythe of the grim reaper that was slashing at Jiang Yi.

“Pong, Pong, Pong!”

Jiang Yi released the Earth Fire just so timely; otherwise, his body would have been ripped into pieces by the horrific blade light. As the blade light and Earth Fire clashed constantly, it blasted off half of the Earth Fire that Jiang Yi released before the essence force attack was neutralized.

“Pfff...”

The Earth Fire might have resisted the attack, but the impact of essence force attack was too great, jolting Jiang Yi’s innards and causing the blood to roll all over. Jiang Yi uncontrollably vomited a mouthful of fresh blood.

“Hmph. Kid, you dare to meddle in our business? Then you shall die!”

A black shadow emerged from a distant tunnel with eyes brimming with killer aura. The man launched a small green cauldron, and even though it was still far away, the horrific aura had already enveloped Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi felt his body became immobilized as his blood was boiling within—just like when he faced the Man-Ruler Seal.
