The increase in the number of scouts was actually not entirely targeted at Jiang Yi and company.
There were twenty-seven Demon-Killing Pearls in total. The majority of these would land in the Heaven Domain, a minority in the Chaos Sea, and one or two that would occasionally be found in the Earth Domain.
Every time these pearls were discovered, a conflict would ensue to gain possession over them. Ultimately, most of them would end up in the hands of the great family clans. Since the great family clans’ young masters and young mistresses had these pearls, they naturally knew the location of the Demon-Killing Palace’s appearance and would head there in advance… to stop the others who had the Demon-Killing Pearls.
If the Demon-Killing Pearls were all in the possession of the great family clans’ young masters and young mistresses, then everyone would enter together to hunt for treasures to each of their own. However, if an insignificant figure got the Demon-Killing Pearl, that person would not have the right to enter; and their Demon-Killing Pearl would be snatched away. If they knew what was good for them, their life would be spared; if not, this person would be killed.
One pearl entitled three persons to enter. Hence, having one additional pearl would allow another three to enter while there would be lesser people competing as well. Previously, many of these hunts had followed this pattern. Some who got their hands on the Demon-Killing Pearl ultimately did not have the right to go in and even lost their lives over it.
Qi Qingchen was actually spot-on. The Demon-Killing Pearl was directing them to the center of the Random Star Islands. At this time, many formidable martial artists were gathered in the Random Star Islands, and there were scouts everywhere to block those who had gotten the remaining Demon-Killing Pearls.
“There are so many people!”
Jiang Yi and Poison Spirit entered stealthily as they continuously found scouts and patrols around. However, these men were not that strong—the strongest was only a God Thearch-equivalent—and couldn’t detect Jiang Yi and Poison Spirit at all. The two easily weaved their way forward undetected.
They saw many floating small islands along the way. However, these islands were so small and were roughly only five-hundred-kilometer wide. Each island often only had a single city. However, each city had its shield up, and many people were obviously inside each of them.
Jiang Yi and Poison Spirit didn’t dare to enter any city; they didn’t want to enter either. They found a deserted spot, took out the Demon-Killing Pearl, ascertained their direction, and continued on their way.
After traveling for around five hours and not encountering any problems even though they came across tens of thousands of scouts and patrols, Jiang Yi and Poison Spirit finally breathed easy. It seemed as if they were very safe using the Art of Concealment, and no one could sense their presence.
Another hour later, something finally happened!
When Jiang Yi found yet another deserted spot and took out the Demon-Killing Pearl to check their direction, he found that the Demon-Killing Pearl was no longer lit up but was flashing incessantly.
As he was looking at it confused, air-splitting noises sounded from afar; and within a few seconds, a few hundred figures appeared. They were all Titled God Thearchs while a yellow-robed young mistress held onto a flashing pearl as well; it was actually another Demon-Killing Pearl.
“This is bad! When Demon-Killing Pearls get close to one another, they can sense each other.”
Jiang Yi finally understood as he immediately kept the pearl and continued forward stealthily with Poison Spirit. As the fog about them was thick, it seemed as if the duo had tunneled into the fog and fled.
“Chase them!”
A gentle, woman’s voice rang out. Immediately, the few hundred men fanned out and started to chase after Jiang Yi and Poison Spirit.
However, as Jiang Yi and Poison Spirit were traveling in stealth while this bunch of Titled God Thearchs could not use their divine senses, after searching for fifty kilometers; they could not find the duo at all.
After hearing all the negative reports coming back to her, that yellow-robed young mistress’ face revealed a slight coldness as she said, “Send order for Uncle Zhu to lock down a fifty-thousand kilometers radius. I must have this Demon-Killing Pearl.”
As her orders were sent out, groups of formidable martial artists rose from the countless islands nearby and formed a huge encirclement. This encirclement did not shrink but was sealed shut. A person stood guard every thousand feet as a King-Ranked formidable martial artist brought along a few hundred formidable martial artists and started to search in detail within the encirclement, trapping Jiang Yi and Poison Spirit.
“What should we do, Young Lord?!”
Jiang Yi and Poison Spirit stood upright in midair. Their bodies were transparent though they could still sense each other. Poison Spirit looked at the few formidable martial artists ahead that were trying to sense the spatial zone as his expression grew sour.
Although with the Art of Concealment activated, they were formless and without aura; there were just too many people ahead. Someone stood guard every thousand feet, and if the two wanted to flee, they had to weave their way through two men. In such a short distance, they couldn’t guarantee that the guards would not be able to sense their presence.
“That young mistress is probably from the four great clans; if not, she couldn’t possibly activate so many people!”
Jiang Yi’s lips twitched as he emitted the sound of a mosquito. He took a few glances forward at the barely visible martial artists as he gritted his teeth and said, “Let’s pierce through directly. Even if we are detected, how can they pursue us once we are outside?”
“Alright, Young Lord, you go first. I will guard the rear.”
Poison Spirit’s lips moved as Jiang Yi silently moved forward. He held his breath and did not make any noise. When he reached the edge of the encirclement, his speed slowed even more as he carefully weaved through the two martial artists there.
Safe!
Jiang Yi managed to pass through as he breathed out in relief. The two martial artists had not detected him at all. He looked at Poison Spirit as the latter followed and easily pierced through as well.
Roar!
Suddenly, at this moment, a deafening roar traveled from afar; and a powerful beast aura enveloped the surroundings. That roar was so loud that it shook Jiang Yi and Poison Spirit such that their heavenly powers were disrupted for a moment, and their bodies were revealed.
Woo…
A huge beast soared from afar. However, after detecting Jiang Yi and Poison Spirit, it changed course, made an arc in the sky, and continued to fly forward.
At that moment, Jiang Yi and Poison Spirit caught a passing glimpse of a black Chaos Beast; it was a Primordial-Grade Chaos Beast. On its head stood a youngster while at least ten formidable martial artists were accompanying that beast. This person was obviously a great family clan young master who was passing by.
“Oh, no, run!”
The two did not have time to bother with the identity of that youngster as they hurriedly activated the Art of Concealment once again and fled into the distance.
“Uh?”
The nearby formidable martial artists had not managed to react just now as they had been affected by that huge beast’s aura; they finally did so only after Jiang Yi and Poison Spirit had once again gone into stealth mode. Everyone roared out loud as countless shooting stars soared towards the general vicinity of where Jiang Yi and Poison Spirit were at. Unfortunately, Jiang Yi and Poison Spirit’s speeds were considerable, and they had long fled.
“These two know how to conceal themselves; send word to Young Mistress An. Ask them not to continue with the search.” One person shouted as he brought a group of men and started to pursue in all directions while leaving a few men to send a message to that yellow-robed young mistress.
“They know how to conceal themselves?”
That yellow-robed young mistress that was still searching in detail within the encirclement heard a voice transmission as she stopped. Her eyes shifted as she shouted, “Let’s go!”
She brought a group of men to where Jiang Yi and Poison Spirit had revealed themselves and found the person who had sent the message. Her ring lit up as she retrieved three paintings and showed them to him. She asked, “Take a good look; is it these three?”
The martial artist took a few looks and nodded furiously. “Young Mistress An, it is them! Although I only caught a glimpse, I can ascertain that it is indeed these two men. That youngster with the red hair is very recognizable.”
“It is indeed Jiang Yi!”
Young Mistress An nodded as her brows rose, and she murmured to herself. “According to Young Master Han’s information, Jiang Yi is the Earth Domain’s number-one talent and had killed a King-Ranked formidable martial artist in the Earth Domain. He also knows the Phantom Race’s Art of Concealment. Send my order for everyone to disperse. Since they can use the Phantom Race’s Art of Concealment, we cannot find them.”
“We’re not going to catch them? What about the Demon-Killing Pearl?”
One elder’s brows rose as he said, “Someone from the Earth Domain dares to come and join in the treasure hunt? Young Mistress An, the two know the Art of Concealment, right? If they enter the Demon-Killing Palace, they would be even harder to catch. All the powerful treasures would be taken by them…”
“It’s not that we’re not going to catch them anymore.”
Young Mistress An smiled brightly as she said, “Jiang Yi has a close relationship with many Earth Domain formidable martial artists. We, the Chaos Sea, should stay out of this matter; it is not as if I am lacking Demon-Killing Pearls. Send word to Young Master Han and the others. Those Heaven Domain great family clans would naturally take action. Let the Heaven Domain’s geniuses fight with the Earth Domain’s number-one talent. A good and free show will soon be ours to watch.”
