Chapter 1348: Blue Lion City

Since Luo Qingyan had become a soul slave, her life was intertwined with Jiang Yi’s. She herself was pretty afraid that the Earth Emanations Pavilion Luo Clan would mess around. Thus, after asking Jiang Yi for permission, she sent a voice transmission to Luo Shui: “You can protect us, but don’t do anything stupid. Don’t attack Jiang Yi. Those are my orders!”

Luo Shui had never thought about doing anything stupid. He obediently kept watch from three hundred meters away, his divine senses on a constant lookout for danger.

After a second, the ten or so God Kings from Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan arrived. Once they saw the God Kings from Earth Emanations Pavilion Luo Clan keeping watch, they were stunned.

Luo Fu gave them orders to take Jiang Yi at all costs. The problem was… how were they supposed to do that? Jiang Yi was right in front of them, but there were hundreds of Earth Emanations Army soldiers, along with ten God Kings and Gu Mu guarding the war chariot.

If they attacked him now, they had a fifty percent chance of taking Jiang Yi. However, if they were to do something like that in the city, the Blue Eagle Prefecture’s army would probably be activated against them. Then, the Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan would turn to ash. Surely, ‘at all costs’ did not include destroying the Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan.

The group of them had no choice but to meet up with the original two and act as if they were strolling around the city plaza nonchalantly. At the same time, they sent a voice transmission back to Luo Fu, asking him for advice on what they should do next. An hour later, Luo Fu replied to them. He did not give any clear instructions. Instead, he just told them: keep following them and wait for the chance to strike.

This showed that even Luo Fu did not know what to do. Once they left Divine Eagle City, they were no longer on the Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan’s territory. The Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan had a disciple who was a high-ranking member of Blue Eagle Prefecture’s Battle God Pavilion, but not Earth Emanations Pavilion. This was Earth Emanations Domain after all. No matter how strong they were, they could not be above the local gangsters who were above the law. They could only act according to the Earth Emanations Sovereign’s wishes.

“Ha!”

Four hours later, Jiang Yi finally recovered. He entered the State of the Union of Heaven and Man and studied the situation around him. The Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan’s hunt for him resulted in him having more than ten God Kings protecting him for free. This made the journey much safer indeed. At first, he was worried about the Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan. However, now, it looked like they would not be in big trouble unless they left the city.

Six hours later, the Black Deity finally recovered. Jiang Yi brought Luo Qingyan, the Black Deity, and Gu Mu into the next Teleportation Formation. The Earth Emanations Pavilion Luo Clan’s God Kings followed them closely to protect them. The Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan’s people dared not go too near to them; they could only watch as the group of people left before their eyes.

Just like that, the group kept advancing, stopping intermittently. After three Lower-Domain days, Jiang Yi became thrilled. They had already arrived at Earth Dragon City. This meant that they only needed to teleport three more times before arriving at Blue Lion City.

Just thinking about being reunited with Jiang Xiaonu soon caused Jiang Yi to be overcome with excitement. It was a pity that the Black Deity was on the verge of collapsing once again. He himself was feeling quite exhausted. They had no choice but to stop and rest for a couple of hours.

Jiang Yi closed his eyes as he sat inside the war chariot. Yet, he could not calm his mind down. He felt like time was passing extremely slowly.

Time trickled by, and he rested a total of eight hours. By the time the Black Deity was—more or less—recovered, Jiang Yi became restless. He shouted in a low voice, “Let’s go! We’re going to Blue Lion City!”

Luo Qingyan kept her war chariot, and the group went on their way. Of course, on the surface, Luo Qingyan was leading the way; and Jiang Yi, the Black Deity, and Gu Mu were all protecting her. The four of them entered the Teleportation Formation, and a white light flashed. They disappeared from the city. The ten God Kings from Earth Emanations Pavilion Luo Clan followed closely behind them through the Teleportation Formation, followed by the seventeen God Kings from Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

They teleported three times in a row. Jiang Yi and company finally arrived at Blue Lion City. At once, Gu Mu scanned the city with his divine senses. Then, he sent a voice transmission to Jiang Yi out of his own initiative: “Master, we are indeed at Blue Lion City!”

“Go to Blue Lion Tribe!”

Jiang Yi’s soul spirit no longer felt exhausted, and the Black Deity was still hanging on fine. Jiang Yi, thus, gave the next order very decisively. The group boarded the war chariot once again and headed toward the city gates. Very quickly, the God Kings from Earth Emanations Pavilion Luo Clan caught up with them, with the God Kings from the Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan trailing behind.

Commander He gave Jiang Yi news that Jiang Xiaonu was in the Blue Lion Tribe.

Jiang Xiaonu was not very skillful. She likely could not obtain huge amounts of divine roots or battle merits in such a short time. Thus, she probably could not leave the Blue Lion Tribe. Her motives for joining Earth Emanations Pavilion were obvious: she wanted to obtain as many battle merits and divine roots as she could, so that she could look for Jiang Yi.

“The moment we get out of the city, ask the group of God Kings to be on high alert. Watch out for any sneak attacks by the Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan!”

The war chariot raced on as Jiang Yi gave Luo Qingyan instructions. The latter nodded, opening the restrictions around the war chariot and sending her divine senses out. She locked in on Luo Shui and then began sending voice transmissions to him. Although they were not allowed to fight even in the tribe, the space in mid-air did not belong to the tribe or the city. This meant that if the Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan’s God Kings decided to take the risk and attack them then, they would be in big trouble.

“Gu Mu, the moment we leave the city, take Black Deity and Luo Qingyan with you in your Chaos Essence Pearl!”

Jiang Yi instructed Gu Mu at once. If a battle ensued, the Black Deity would be the easiest to kill. He could not afford for Luo Qingyan to die either, or the ten God Kings from Earth Emanations Pavilion Luo Clan would stop protecting them. Instead, they might even turn around and attack them.

They had to remain prepared for anything to happen. The city gates were right ahead of them. Jiang Yi’s entire body tensed up as he closed his eyes and entered the State of the Union of Heaven and Man. He was ready to start fighting at any moment. He still had nine balls of Merged Flames. Even if the God Kings from Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan attempted to kill him, they would surely pay the price for doing so.

Swish!

They did not need to be inspected as they left the city so the war chariot flew straight out, shooting towards the Blue Lion Tribe below. At that moment, Jiang Yi’s body relaxed. The people from Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan did not do anything. Instead, they just trailed behind them. Perhaps it was because they were not confident, or perhaps it was because they were afraid of provoking the Earth Emanations Army.

The war chariot soon arrived at the city plaza of Blue Lion Tribe, attracting the attention of many people. The tribe was home to all the civilians. Of course, such an elegant war chariot—with ten God Kings following closely behind it—harbored important people. It was rare for such important people to come to villages like theirs.

Gu Mu had already kept Luo Qingyan and the Black Deity into his Chaos Essence Pearl the moment they left the city. Jiang Yi brought him out of the war chariot and asked him to keep it. At the same time, he sent a voice transmission to Luo Shui, telling them to keep an eye on the Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan’s actions at all times.

The God Kings from Earth Emanations Pavilion felt increasingly frustrated as they watched Jiang Yi and Gu Mu saunter into the Earth Emanations Pavilion.

All they could do was remain outside the Earth Emanations Pavilion like a bunch of door guards, keeping an eye on the Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan. The people from Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan were even more frustrated. They walked around the city plaza like wandering ghosts, not knowing what to do at all.

The Blue Lion Tribe’s Earth Emanations Pavilion guards were exceptionally nervous. All of a sudden, more than twenty God Kings had appeared. What’s more, these people looked extremely suspicious and abnormal. The commander of the guards shot one of his subordinates a look. The man immediately walked towards Earth Emanations Pavilion and updated the commander inside about the situation.

Gu Mu had the Earth Emanations Pavilion token, and he was an upper-tier God King. He was let into the Earth Emanations Pavilion without much difficulty.

He brought Jiang Yi along with him as he walked into the side hall. They found a team leader inside. Loudly and proudly, Gu Mu said, “I want news about one person. She is a newbie in Blue Lion City’s Earth Emanations Pavilion. Her name is Jiang Xiaonu. Find her for me at once!”

Gu Mu was an Earth Emanations cultivator in the Earth Emanations Pavilion, and an upper-tier one at that. Of course, the team leader would not dare to defy his orders. Hurriedly, he gathered his subordinates to ask about Jiang Xiaonu. A moment later, he returned and cupped his hands. “Reporting to my lord: this person really is a part of our pavilion. She just ascended not long ago, and she is now a formal disciple of the Earth Emanations Pavilion!”

Jiang Yi’s eyes lit up at once. He quickly asked, “Where is she? Why didn’t you bring her over?”

The team leader frowned. It was clear that he was furious that Jiang Yi—a mere Heaven God who was not even from Earth Emanations Pavilion—was shouting at him and ordering him around. However, after Gu Mu shot him a cold look, he quickly smiled and said, “Reporting to my lord: she is not in the tribe. She has gone out on a mission. En… I don’t think she’s far from here. If all goes well, she should return within a day.”

“A day?”

Jiang Yi frowned. A day in the Higher Domain was akin to a hundred days in the Lower Domain. Who knew what could happen in such a long time? Yet, Jiang Yi did not dare to take the risk and leave the city to find her. After all, the Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan would be allowed to attack them at will the moment they left the city.
