Chapter 1664: Powerful and Unparalleled

Although he trusted He Nongying, Jiang Yi still did not dare to be too careless. He entered the State of the Union of Heaven and Man and cultivated while keeping an eye on his surroundings. It was not until ten Lower-Domain days had passed and the city remained calm that Jiang Yi finally decided to let his guard down. If He Nongying betrayed him, Dao Leng and Dao Nù would both be here by now.

The two Pseudo Thearch-Ranked martial artists did not come, but Dao Ren did.

Dao Feng was dead. Dao Ren had become the most powerful young master in the Dao Clan. One could say that he was excited. He Nongying was the god-granddaughter of the Qilin Empress. If Dao Ren could marry her, he would surely become the Family Head of the Dao Clan in the future. What’s more, He Nongying was one of the most beautiful women in the Heaven Domain. She was a distinguished lady who was well-sought-after by men.

Since Jiang Yi was in the city, He Nongying had no choice but to humor Dao Ren for a while. Dao Ren’s actions made He Nongying hate him even more. Although she despised Dao Feng, Dao Ren seemed to be worse in every aspect. How long had it been since Dao Feng died? Jiang Yi was still not caught, and Dao Ren was already throwing such airs around the city, trying to woo He Nongying.

Dao Ren later accompanied He Nongying to a nearby city to continue their search. They had with them a hundred thousand soldiers and two King-Ranked elders. Dao Ren looked formidable indeed, but it was obvious that he was not concerned about the search at all. His thoughts were all on He Nongying. He was putting on such an act that He Nongying felt sick.

After searching the four or five nearby cities, the army returned. He Nongying said that she was getting used to living here and that she wanted to get some rest because she was tired. She was going to seclude herself and deny guests. Dao Ren thus had no choice but to lead his men away. After all, his entire clan was out searching for Jiang Yi. If he remained here for no reason, it would look bad on him.

Half a day after Dao Ren left, He Nongying prepared to bring Jiang Yi out, for fear that he would return in a short time. She sent someone to send a message to Jiang Yi who quickly emerged from seclusion and rushed to the City Lord Manor.

“Ugly…”

When He Nongying saw Jiang Yi’s face, she sent a single voice transmission and did not look at him again. She boarded the war chariot with Auntie Shuang who shouted in a cold tone, “Big White, let’s go!”

A snow-white beast, about twelve to fifteen meters long, flew into the air. The war chariot tore through the sky as He Nongying glanced at Jiang Yi and said, “He Da, follow us.”

Swish!

Jiang Yi flew up into the sky and followed closely behind the war chariot, towards the north-east region. They were fifty kilometers from the city when the war chariot suddenly stopped in front of him. He Nongying sent a voice transmission saying, “Come into my spatial divine item. You can cultivate safely there. Five days later, we will be out of the Azure Region.”

“That long?”

Jiang Yi was secretly shocked. How big was the Azure Region? Why wasn’t He Nongying teleporting out? However, he was too embarrassed to ask all of these questions. Without any hesitation, he allowed He Nongying to send him into her spatial divine item: a small, beautiful, white hall.

“Keke, this brat is quite bold. Isn’t he afraid that Young Mistress would sell him away?”

Auntie Shuang glanced at He Nongying’s small, white hall and smirked. Jiang Yi was selling his own life to He Nongying by agreeing to be sent in there. If the spatial divine item were to explode, Jiang Yi would not even have a body to be buried.

“I am very good at reading people.”

He Nongying said confidently, “If he doesn’t die, he will at least become a Pseudo Thearch-Ranked. He would very likely become the second Demon-Killing Supreme Thearch. It’s just that he has very strong murderous intent. I’m afraid that he would turn the entire Heaven Domain upside down in the future.”

“Since you’ve already done it, there’s no need to keep thinking! We’ll leave everything to fate,” Auntie Shuang said sorrowfully. In a low voice, she shouted, “Big White, go faster!”

The huge beast in front of her glowed white and sped up. They were traveling at the speed of Pseudo Thearch-Ranked martial artists. The war chariot disappeared into the distance, behind the innumerable peaks and valleys.

They met many soldiers of the Dao Clan searching along the way. However, on seeing He Nongying, none of them dared to obstruct her way. Not only did people not block her way, but a couple of soldiers even offered to escort her on her way. However, He Nongying rejected all of them.

They flew peacefully for a full day before He Nongying’s war chariot suddenly stopped in midair. A huge army was blocking the way in front of them. Leading the army was Young Master Dao Ren. What shocked both He Nongying and Auntie Shuang was that even Dao Leng was there.

The third most powerful person of the Dao Clan was obstructing her way. What did this mean? It meant that the Dao Clan was growing suspicious of her. They suspected that she had rescued Jiang Yi. Why else would someone like Dao Leng come here?

“Auntie Shuang, don’t say anything. Leave everything to me.”

He Nongying felt uneasy, but her expression remained unchanging. After she sent that voice transmission to Auntie Shuang, she parked the war chariot and then stood up and bowed to Dao Leng. “Greetings, Cold Thearch. Greetings, Young Master Dao Ren.”

Dao Leng did not say anything. Dao Ren, however, smiled bitterly and said, “Young Mistress Nongying, why did you leave without saying a word? That’s quite impolite, isn’t it? Dao Ren was still waiting for you to come and join me at Azure Supreme Thearch Peak. When I received news that you were returning home, I rushed over at once.”

He Nongying smiled subtly and said, “I’m just going around to see the scenery around the Azure Region. I went to Chaos Sea for a while and returned to the Azure Region after that. It’s time to go home.”

Dao Domain smiled and nodded, saying, “That’s only right. You’ve been in the Azure Region for so long. The Qilin Empress must be missing you. It’s just that we haven’t been very good hosts; Dao Ren feels guilty.”

He Nongying replied, “Young Master Ren, you’re too kind.”

Dao Ren stopped talking, and Dao Leng smiled as he said, “Young Mistress He, why aren’t you teleporting home? Isn’t it… tiring to fly this way?”

As expected…!

He Nongying sighed in her heart. Dao Leng was indeed suspicious of her. However, she had already thought of an explanation long ago. Still smiling, she said, “Thank you for being so considerate, Cold Thearch. Nongying has been cultivating the Soul-Silencer mystical ability. If I can avoid teleporting, I will do so.”

“Soul-Silencer?”

Dao Ren’s eyes lit up as he stuck his thumb-up. “The Qilin Empress imparted the Soul-Silencer to you? Young Mistress Nongying, you will surely be the next Qilin Empress!”

“Young Mistress He, you’re very fortunate.”

Dao Leng nodded and praised her, but he quickly changed the topic. “I heard that Young Mistress He found one of your clansmen in the Azure Region? Where is he?”

Auntie Shuang tensed up. Dao Leng was calling He Nongying out on the spot. It was obvious that he had already suspected that He Da was Jiang Yi. If one really thought about it, this ‘He Da’ was indeed very suspicious. None of the Dao Clan’s soldiers had seen He Da with He Nongying and Auntie Shuang the entire time. It was only natural for Dao Leng to get suspicious.

“Oh? Are you talking about He Da?”

He Nongying casually replied, “He is the son of my clan’s old housekeeper. I’ve sent him out on a task. Cold Thearch, why are you so concerned about a servant in my clan?”

He Nongying answered confidently and surely, and her expression did not even change. Instead, her entire being was exuding calmness. If Jiang Yi were here, he would give her a thumbs-up for sure.

Dao Ren saw that He Nongying was becoming a bit cold. He quickly stepped in to ease the tension, saying, “Young Mistress Nongying, please don’t be offended. Uncle Leng was just asking questions casually, just asking casually.”

“Wrong!”

Dao Ren was trying to ease the tension, but Dao Leng shot him down right away. In a cold tone, he said, “Young Mistress He, I suspect there is something wrong with this He Da. What’s more… I suspect that He Da is in your spatial divine item. Can you let him out so that I can inspect him?”

“Uh?”

The smile on Dao Ren’s face hardened. Auntie Shuang was also becoming angry. Dao Leng was not showing them any respect. As He Nongying’s bodyguard, how could she not get angry?

He Nongying’s expression, however, remained unchanged. She smiled slightly and looked Dao Ren in the eyes before she faced Dao Leng. “I heard a long time ago that the Cold Thearch’s combat abilities are powerful and unparalleled. He Nongying will get to witness it for myself today. He Da really is not in my spatial divine item. If Cold Thearch does not believe me, you can come and conduct a search. Of course… if you search and find that I am indeed speaking the truth, I hope your Dao Clan will be able to answer to my grandmother!”
