Chapter 1351: Drizzling Mountain Ridges

East of the Blue Lion City was a vast mountainous region called the Drizzling Mountain Ridges!

The structure of the earth in this region was quite amazing. There were plenty of steep peaks, and the clouds seemed to remain for ages. Visibility was low, and even divine senses would not be very helpful there.

Crucially, the region was covered in dense vegetation. Everywhere they looked, they saw ancient trees and plants, dating back to heavens-knows-when. This gave birth to many wood-elemental Chaos Beasts. Wood-elemental Chaos Beasts were exceptionally good at camouflaging in the woods, rendering their enemies incapable of fighting back. This was why the Drizzling Mountain Ridges was widely known to other Heaven-God-grade martial artists as a place of no return. Even God Kings did not there to go too deep into the region.

Dangerous places were often filled with many treasures. On these barren mountains, there were many spirit and immortal herbs. That was why anyone on a mission to search for spirit and immortal herbs would be sent to Blue Lion City. Blue Lion City’s Earth Emanations Pavilion, Demon-Killing Pavilion, and Battle God Pavilion normally progressed faster than their counterparts in other cities. Of course… the death rate of these three pavilions in this city was also the highest in Blue Eagle Prefecture.

Jiang Xiaonu must have accepted a mission to collect herbs. Ever since she arrived in Blue Lion Tribe, she had been accepting missions non-stop. She was working extraordinarily hard. In addition to her beauty, innocence, and youth; she quickly became a central character in Earth Emanations Pavilion. Countless young men were driven to madness by her.

“Master, Lady Xiaonu is near the Dense Fog Peak surrounding the mountainous region. Judging by her speed, she will arrive soon!”

Gu Mu clarified the situation and even obtained a detailed map. If nothing happened to them on the way, they would only need about three Lower-Domain days to arrive at Dense Fog Peak. Yet, could they ensure that nothing would happen to them? Gu Mu’s eyes were filled with worry.

Luo Qingyan sat in the ship cabin in silence, her expression heavy. She had already received news that Luo Fu and his men were heading towards them. Xiao Di and Luo Xiang were also halfway, but she did not know this. Since Luo Xiang wanted to travel as fast as he could, he did not have time to send a message to Luo Qingyan to inform her.

Thus, Luo Qingyan remained anxious. She did not want to die; neither did she want to end up in the hands of the Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan. Now, even without Jiang Yi’s orders, she had to think of a way to protect Jiang Yi. If Jiang Yi died, she would perish as well.

In the face of life-threatening danger, her mind worked extremely quickly. She thought of all sorts of plans. Suddenly, she waved to Gu Mu and said, “Give me a copy of the map of Drizzling Mountain Ridges.”

Gu Mu turned to Jiang Yi, who had been closing his eyes, in the State of the Union of Heaven and Man. At that moment, he nodded gently without opening his eyes. Gu Mu handed Luo Qingyan a copy of the map, and the latter began to study it closely. A full hour later, she asked, “Where are we going, and what are we going to do? Can you tell me everything?”

Gu Mu looked at Jiang Yi, who once again nodded slightly. Luo Qingyan was his soul slave; she would not harm him or harbor any ill intentions towards him. Jiang Yi was very certain of this.

Gu Mu sent a voice transmission to Luo Qingyan, telling her everything. Luo Qingyan began to mumble to herself. Five minutes later, she said, “Luo Fu is leading a group of thirty God Kings. Together with the seventeen God Kings behind us, that’s forty-eight God Kings in total. Among them, there are two peak-stage God Kings and ten upper-tier God Kings. All the formidable martial artists of the Earth Emanations Pavilion Luo Clan have been activated as well, but my father might still be stuck in Blue Eagle Prefecture. Thus, given our powers alone, we are certainly no match for Luo Fu and his men. If we want to survive this ordeal, we must depend on ourselves!”

Gu Mu’s eyes glinted. This Lady Luo had been intelligent from a very young age. She was exceptionally skilled in coming up with plans. Could she have thought of a plan to save all of them? Jiang Yi finally opened his eyes and looked at Luo Qingyan. “How are we going to do that?”

Luo Qingyan placed the map on the table and pointed at a dot. “This is the Dense Fog Peak. Are we going to rescue your sister here? I heard from Gu Mu that the son of a commander from Blue Lion City’s Earth Emanations Pavilion might be planning to harm her?”

Jiang Yi nodded solemnly. “That’s right!”

“Then…!”

Luo Qingyan’s gaze shifted, and she said confidently, “So many of us came earlier and made such a commotion in Earth Emanations Pavilion. The commander must have received news of this, so… the commander’s son must be gathering his men to charge towards the Dense Fog mountain region.”

“That’s possible!”

After pondering for a second, Jiang Yi nodded. “We asked three team leaders. This cannot be hidden from the Earth Emanations Pavilion’s disciples in Blue Lion Tribe. Yet, so what if they come after us? We already have so many enemies; it makes no difference even if we add them…”

“Wrong!”

The corners of Luo Qingyan’s lips twisted up in a smile. In a low voice, she said, “The problem is that the Blue Lion Tribe’s Earth Emanations Pavilion’s disciples don’t know the relationship between me and the Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan. Therefore, what we have to do is kill the commander’s son the moment we arrive at Dense Fog Peak!”

“Uh?”

Jiang Yi and Gu Mu looked astonished. To kill Xia Rui would be to offend Commander Xia for sure. This would mean war with the Blue Lion Tribe’s Earth Emanations Pavilion. The entire situation was already a mess. If they made one more powerful enemy, wouldn’t they be worse off?

“Messy?”

Jiang Yi’s eyes brightened as he exclaimed, “You want to make the situation as messy as possible so that we can find a chance of survival in the chaos!”

“Clever!”

Luo Qingyan smiled and nodded. The finger pointing at the Drizzling Mountain Ridges on the map suddenly moved. “Five thousand kilometers east of the Dense Fog Peak is the Dense Fog Woods. This forest is extremely big. The map shows that this area is ranked three stars for danger. In other words, even God Kings might die inside there. Once we rescue your sister, we can immediately head here.

“There would be many Chaos Beasts, and the terrain would be difficult. Clouds and fog will surround us, and our divine senses will not aid us much. However, as long as we make it in here, we can ask Gu Mu to use his disguising techniques to make himself look like he’s from the Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan or Earth Emanations Pavilion, Then, he can continue to provoke the counterparties to attack each other. Only then can we hope to make an escape.”

“Not bad!”

Jiang Yi thought about it all and secretly felt a deep respect for Luo Qingyan’s wits. Gu Mu’s expression crumpled. Asking him to act like the other two parties and fight would mean that he probably would not survive. Luo Qingyan was really seeking revenge against him.

“There’s still time. Just think about the details of this plan to make it more perfect!”

Jiang Yi waved his hand and left everything to Luo Qingyan. Gu Mu looked astonished. How could Jiang Yi trust Luo Qingyan this much? Was he not afraid of being plotted against by Luo Qingyan? Jiang Yi closed his eyes and continued cultivating, and Gu Mu had no choice but to swallow all of his questions back into his gut. At the same time, he prayed that Luo Qingyan would not think of other evil schemes to put him to death, or he would surely be the first among them to die.

As Jiang Yi closed his eyes to cultivate, the ten God Kings kept following them. About three kilometers behind them, seventeen God Kings lingered around.

They had been flying at top speed for about two hours when Jiang Yi suddenly opened his eyes. “Luo Qingyan, there is a problem with your plan. You’re too conservative, and… you don’t know the true extent of my skills. I was just thinking about it, and I decided to take the initiative to attack. We have to kill the seventeen God Kings first. At least when Luo Fu arrives, we and your Earth Emanations Pavilion Luo Clan’s back-up soldiers would not be overwhelmed.”

“En?”

Luo Qingyan looked astonished. In a shocked tone, she asked, “You… can kill all seventeen of them?”

“Just give me an opportunity!”

Jiang Yi and Gu Mu exchanged a meaningful glance. Grinning widely, he said, “As long as there aren’t too many upper-tier God Kings and peak-stage God Kings, I can kill a hundred God Kings easily, much less those seventeen!”

“That’s right!”

With lingering fear in his heart, Gu Mu exclaimed. “As long as we give Master a chance, he will be able to destroy those seventeen people!”

“Alright!”

Luo Qingyan tutted and jumped to her feet impressively. “It’ll be too easy to set that up. Let’s cripple the Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan first, then.”
