Fury Towards The Burning Heaven - Chapter 1707

Chapter 1707: Poison Devil Wasteland

The spy had guessed accurately. That was what Jiang Yi had planned to do.

The hostages had to be rescued, but he was not going to be the one to rescue them. He left behind the seal stone so that Heavenly King Wei and the others would go to the Longtan Mystic Realm. If they went there, Phantom King, Earth Emanations Sovereign, and Wintry Sovereign would be safe.

Of course, there was a condition to that: Dao Nù and Dao Leng could not kill the three of them. That was why he had to come to the Longtan Mystic Realm as well. He also had to lure Dao Nù and Dao Leng away, so that it would be easier for Heavenly King Wei to rescue the three of them. If Dao Nù and Dao Leng were not in the Longtan Mystic Realm, the people in the mystic realm would not dare to kill the three sovereigns. The Phantom King and the others would then have a higher chance of survival.

Luring Dao Nù and Dao Leng away was extremely dangerous. One mistake could cause Jiang Yi to perish in the void. However, remaining in the Longtan Mystic Realm would only speed up his death. Jiang Yi had no choice but to take a gamble and bet that Heavenly King Wei would rescue the three sovereigns before Dao Nù and Dao Leng could kill him. This was the best solution that Jiang Yi could think of. As for the outcome, he was not sure. Everything was up to fate.

…

“Not good!”

In a small mystic realm near the Longtan Mystic Realm, the jade talisman in Dao Leng’s hands lit up. He glanced at it, and his expression changed at once. In a low voice, he shouted, “Big Brother, Dao Hu had a change of heart and has betrayed us! Jiang Yi has killed most of the people in the Longyuan Mystic Realm, and they’re now escaping towards the north!”

“En?”

Dao Nù’s gaze hardened. He shouted, “Is that news accurate?”

Buzz!

Before Dao Leng could say anything, his jade talisman lit up again. When he saw it, his expression changed once more as he said, “Jiang Yi is indeed headed towards the north. Someone in the Longshe Mystic Realm informed me that Jiang Yi has arrived there. Apart from the person who sent me this message, everyone else has been killed! Big Brother… Ren’er is at the Longhe Mystic Realm, right?

“Let’s go!”

Dao Nù looked infuriated as he started to fly towards the mystic realm. As he flew, he shouted, “Jiang Yi is near the Longshe Mystic Realm now. Tell the people there to hold him back! Tell Dao Ren to get lost as well. Dao Meng, you all will keep an eye on the Longyuan Mystic Realm. If Jiang Yi keeps playing these decoy tactics, help me to delay him as long as possible. The moment the situation changes, execute our original plan!”

The Longshe Mystic Realm was not far from where they were. Given their speed, the two of them expected to arrive within an hour. The moment they got onto Jiang Yi’s trail, Jiang Yi would die for sure.

If they managed to kill Jiang Yi, none of this would matter. For the sake of this fight, the Dao Clan had made huge sacrifices. Dao Nù was prepared to go all out and suffer no repercussions for killing Jiang Yi.

Everything was well-planned. They only needed to wait for Jiang Yi to arrive. There was a minor hiccup in their plan, Jiang Yi did not appear, and they got betrayed by their own man. However, Dao Nù and Dao Leng were not bothered. Jiang Yi was already nearby; this meant that it would only be a matter of time before he was caught and killed.

Dao Nù and Dao Leng turned into phantoms as they flew over to the Longshe Mystic Realm. They were moving too quickly. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared from the soldiers’ sights.

“Pass down these orders: everyone nearby should go into the Longtan Mystic Realm. Scouts, be alert and wary! The moment the situation turns awry, carry out our original plan!”

A senior elder of the Dao Clan, Dao Meng, shouted at the soldiers. The martial artists at the Longyuan Mystic Realm flew towards the Longtan Mystic Realm at once. The Dao Clan’s special soldiers broke through the Primordial Astral Gas, forming multiple tunnels. Countless soldiers kept pouring in.

Of course…

Not many people from the Dao Clan arrived this time. Ordinary soldiers had already been dismissed earlier. There were only Titled God Thearchs and King-Ranked martial artists left behind. A total of one thousand of them were there. They were here to kill Jiang Yi this time and not to fight the Netherworld beings. Naturally, a thousand or so soldiers were enough.

Jiang Yi guessed that most formidable martial artists would chase after him. He did not think that only Dao Nù and Dao Leng would be lured away. It was obvious that he had predicted this inaccurately.

One by one, the formidable martial artists invaded the Longtan Mystic Realm and disappeared inside it. Calm was restored over the surroundings. The light around the Longtan Mystic Realm kept flashing. From afar, it looked like a huge beast, hiding in the darkness.

…

“The mystic realm that we passed by should be the Longshe Mystic Realm, right?”

While in the void, Jiang Yi’s eyes glowed. The mummy led him to advance at rapid speed while it gripped onto the lower half of his body. Nevertheless, Jiang Yi could still hold a map in one hand as the cogs in his mind kept turning. He kept trying to analyze the situation.

He had passed by the Longshe Mystic Realm on purpose. He knew that there were scouts in there. He also killed almost everyone and left one person behind. His main purpose was to lure Dao Leng and Dao Nù over.

“Mummy, change direction! Let’s head over here!”

On further thought, he decided not to take the risk. If Dao Nù and Dao Leng did not come after him, but Heavenly King Wei did; Phantom King and the others might not be able to keep their lives. He turned around and locked his gaze on a small mystic realm in the north-west—Longhe Mystic Realm. He decided to go to that mystic realm and kill the scouts there as well. That was the only way to really anger Dao Nù and Dao Leng.

The Longhe Mystic Realm was not far from where Jiang Yi was, and the mummy’s speed was comparable to Heavenly King Long. In just ten minutes, they arrived in the vicinity of the mystic realm.

Swish!

He activated his divine senses and scanned the surroundings before steering the mummy into the mystic realm. Like before, he retrieved his zither and began playing. He wanted to shock all the people hiding inside and cause them to emerge. In the end, what confused him was that no one was in the mystic realm at all.

“How is this possible?”

Logically, there should have been scouts in all the surrounding mystic realms. Dao Nù could not have such a huge gap in his plan. Yet, there was no time for Jiang Yi to think too much. He glanced at his map and continued flying towards the north.

He was not heading towards the north for no reason. He was not flying directionlessly.

Five hundred thousand kilometers in the north, there was a mysterious place. Nearby, there was a wasteland; near that wasteland were many whirlpools. There were at least hundreds of them, covering a radius of five-thousand-kilometers. This wasteland was also filled with terrifying, poisonous fog. Even King-Ranked martial artists would die if they entered that wasteland.

This wasteland was called the Poison Devil Wasteland. It was notorious in the surrounding regions, and it was specifically marked out on the map. When Jiang Yi saw this map, he immediately decided that this was his destination.

Dao Nù and Dao Leng were much faster than him. Jiang Yi guessed that they would arrive about an hour later. On the other hand, he had no idea how long Heavenly King Wei and the others would take to arrive at the Longtan Mystic Realm. That was why he had no choice but to go to that wasteland. He needed to rely on the whirlpools in the air around Poison Devil Wasteland to fight Dao Nù and Dao Leng off. He needed to buy himself time!

“Quick, quick, quick!”

Jiang Yi shouted in a low voice. Although the Poison Devil Wasteland was marked out on his map and some descriptions were offered about it, he had no idea what the Poison Devil Wasteland actually looked like. He had to arrive there as soon as possible and find a terrain that would be advantageous for him. That would greatly increase his chances of survival.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

After flying for only hundreds of kilometers, he heard sounds of people cutting through the air. Chaos Divine Boats began to appear one by one as countless divine senses locked in on Jiang Yi. Some of them were extremely powerful. Without a doubt, he guessed that they were King-Ranked martial artists.

“Hmph! Jiang Yi, you’re still trying to escape?”

A cold voice was heard as formidable martial artists began to fly out of the more-than-ten Chaos Divine Boats, floating in midair. There were not many of them; Jiang Yi guessed that there were about three to four hundred of them. However, the least skilled among them was a Titled God Thearch. In addition, there were seven King-Ranked martial artists.

These people neither flew towards a single place or towards Jiang Yi. Instead, they split up into a fan-formation and remained in their positions in midair. Weapons and battle armors began to appear. Jiang Yi scanned the group of people, knowing full well their intentions.

They wanted to delay him until Dao Leng and Dao Nù arrived!

“Kill—”

At a time like this, there was nothing much to be said. Jiang Yi steered the mummy forward without any fear as his Heavenly Wind Armor formed around his body. His eyes began to flash red as the mummy’s dark-green glow flashed as well. The man and the mummy glowed together, looking extraordinarily terrifying.
