Chapter 1594: Ask Zhu Qiang over for Questioning
“Who says I can’t?”
A ring in Jiang Yi’s hand lit up as a pair of black gloves appeared. It was the Spatial-Tearing Gloves, Ren Tianfan’s treasure. After Ren Tianfan had been killed in the Green Soul Mystic Realm, Jiang Yi had taken his interspatial ring; and he had long refined this pair of gloves in the Demon-Buster Valley.
“Spatial-Tearing Gloves? Isn’t this General Ren’s? Oh…”
Qi Qingchen recognized this pair of gloves as she understood quickly. She thought about it and said, “Let me go with you; at least we will have each other’s backs. Even if someone seeks revenge against you at the risk of their own deaths, they might be warier if I am with you.”
“That sounds good!” Jiang Yi nodded. Qi Qingchen walked out of the Teleportation Formation as Qi Yue and Qi Xia teleported away. Jiang Yi wore the glove as he clawed at the spatial zone furiously.
Tsk! Tsk!
The Spatial-Tearing Gloves were very magical. In an instant, a hole appeared in s.p.a.ce as Jiang Yi told Qi Qingchen, “Let’s enter.”
Qi Qingchen’s body flashed as she entered the spatial zone while Jiang Yi hurriedly followed behind. The two emerged in a pitch-black spatial zone with a patch of golden light behind their bodies. Jiang Yi looked about as he turned his gaze to the left downward and said, “The Ten Thousand Saints Domain is that way; let’s go!”
According to the information he had read, the Ferocious Fire Mystic Realm was near the Ten Thousand Saints Domain. As Jiang Yi and Qi Qingchen both didn’t have Chaos Divine Boats, they could only fly forward. The last time, the Chaos Divine Boat Qi Qingchen had been on was the Wintry Sovereign’s.
The spatial zone was pitch-black and unusually quiet. As this area was near a domain, there wasn’t much turbulence normally; and the two were not worried. However, as the surroundings were just so dark and the duo was flying close to each other, it felt as if they were two singles sharing a room at night. It was a little awkward. Both of them did not know what to say, and the more the silence continued, the more awkward things became. There was also a sliver of charm and grace between them that Jiang Yi really enjoyed but made Qi Qingchen even more restrained and awkward.
Fortunately, the Ten Thousand Saints Domain was really not far; after flying for more than two hours, they saw a huge light ahead. As the two grew closer, a huge domain appeared before their eyes.
The Ten Thousand Saints Domain was huge. Of course, it was very small compared to super huge domains such as the Earth Emanations Domain. However, it was at least a few hundred folds bigger than mystic realms. Qi Qingchen looked at Jiang Yi worriedly as she stared at the Primordial Astral Gas ahead and said, “Jiang Yi, have you pierced through the Primordial Astral Gas before? This thing is very dangerous; you have to be careful.”
“While I have never done it before, I have seen it done previously. Rest a.s.sured! I have Primitive Spiritual Treasure battle armor now and the Spatial-Splitting Divine Gloves; how could the Primordial Astral Gas harm me? Enter my spatial divine item now, please.”
Jiang Yi smiled faintly as confidence and calmness appeared on his face that stunned Qi Qingchen. This child-like man in her eyes had actually matured so much after the huge battle. Previously, she had felt that she needed to take care of him all the time; now, she actually needed his a.s.sistance.
Jiang Yi took out his Chaos Essence Pearl and sent Qi Qingchen inside as his body shot forward towards the Primordial Astral Gas. White battle armor appeared on his body. This was Heavenly King You’s white-jade battle armor; it was a Primitive Spiritual Treasure, and Jiang Yi had naturally refined it immediately once he got it. This was something that could save his life.
As expected!
With the Spatial-Tearing Gloves, the Primordial Astral Gas was easily swept aside and didn’t even touch Jiang Yi’s body. Even if it did, Jiang Yi’s Primitive Spiritual Treasure battle armor protected him. Just like this, Jiang Yi easily pierced through and appeared above the high skies of the Ten Thousand Saints Domain.
“This Ten Thousand Saints Domain’s spirit energy is rather concentrated; however, it is still much less concentrated than Earth Emanations Domain’s.”
Jiang Yi looked about from his vantage point in the high skies as his body was pulled down rapidly by gravity. However, Jiang Yi was not fl.u.s.tered at all. The Ten Thousand Saints Domain was a va.s.sal of the White River Domain; the most formidable martial artists here were probably only t.i.tled Battle G.o.ds. That was nothing to him.
Swis.h.!.+
When he was about ten thousand feet from the ground, Jiang Yi used his heavenly powers as his body shook, and he started to float in the sky and flew towards a nearby small city. He then hid his white-jade battle armor as he released Qi Qingchen. He smiled at her, didn’t say anything, and continued flying ahead.
The two very quickly reached a small city. This city didn’t have a protective s.h.i.+eld around it as the duo flew straight into the city.
The two’s abrupt and rude actions caught the attention of the formidable martial artists in this city. A G.o.d King shot up, cupped his hands, and said, “May I ask who my Lords are? Where have you come from? Why have you barged into the Earth Star City?”
Jiang Yi and Qi Qingchen were trying to keep a low profile. Before entering the city, Qi Qingchen had even put on a veil to hide her face while she had restricted the aura emanating from her body. Hence, this G.o.d King could not detect their levels of attainment. However, it was obvious the two didn’t feel like residents of the Ten Thousand Saints Domain.
Jiang Yi expressionlessly replied, “You do not have a right to know who we are. Where is Stellarsky City? We want to go there. Also… there is someone from the Ten Thousand Saints Domain called Zhu Qiang, right?”
“Zhu Qiang? Young Master Qiang?”
The G.o.d King was scared witless by Jiang Yi’s words. Zhu Qiang was from the royal family of the Ten Thousand Saints Domain; he was just like the crown prince.
This G.o.d King hurriedly brought Jiang Yi and Qi Qingchen towards a Teleportation Formation as he explained along the way. “The Stellarsky City is in the southernmost Star River Prefecture. My Lord, you two have to teleport to the West Long Prefecture city, then ask the Prefecture Lord there to activate the Teleportation Formation to send you to the next prefecture.”
Jiang Yi and Qi Qingchen teleported and left. After they did, this G.o.d King murmured to himself, bewildered. “Who on earth are these two? They are so powerful. Heading to Stellarsky City? Hasn’t the issue there been resolved? Why are they still headed there? Could something else have happened?”
…
Buzz!
Jiang Yi and Qi Qingchen appeared in West Long City. This was a prefecture city, and so there were more formidable martial artists here. The duo’s auras that they couldn’t conceal alarmed some of them.
A few divine senses swept over; however, no one recognized the two of them. A G.o.d Thearch formidable martial artist flew out from a castle as he looked at the two warily and said, “Who are you two? Why have you come to West Long City?”
“We are just pa.s.sing by.”
Jiang Yi answered casually as he immediately took out some divine roots and said, “We wish to head to Star River Prefecture; please facilitate the teleportation.”
“Uh?”
This G.o.d Thearch did not take Jiang Yi’s divine roots. Instead, he grew even warily of the two as he asked coldly again, “Who on earth are you two? You two aren’t from the Ten Thousand Saints Domain, right? If you do not reveal your ident.i.ty, I will have to take you two as spies.”
“You do not have the right to know.”
Jiang Yi’s eyes flashed coldly as Qi Qingchen’s powerful aura flashed and pressured that G.o.d Thearch as he buckled and almost knelt down. Jiang Yi said coldly, “Activate the Teleportation Formation. If you want to ask about our ident.i.ty, ask Zhu Qiang to come and do it.”
During the Ten Thousand Domain Tournament, Jiang Yi recalled that the Ten Thousand Saints Domain’s representative had been Zhu Qiang. This person should be rather high-ranking in the Ten Thousand Saints Domain. That G.o.d Thearch heard this name, and his face immediately changed. He looked extremely cautiously at Qi Qingchen as he bowed and said, “My Lords, please.”
Jiang Yi and Qi Qingchen entered the Teleportation Formation. However, before it was activated, Jiang Yi spoke again. “We are just going to the Star River Prefecture’s Stellarsky City to visit a friend. Send word ahead for all subsequent prefectures to cooperate. Also, ask Zhu Qiang to come to us. Once he arrives, he naturally will know who we are.”
It seemed as if the journey to Star River Prefecture was rather far, and Jiang Yi didn’t want to be questioned at every place he went, thus instructing such. This G.o.d Thearch hurried and asked someone to send word ahead. He also immediately sent word to the Ten Thousand Saints Domain’s Sovereign city, to pa.s.s on the message to Zhu Qiang.
“To Stellarsky City?”
The G.o.d Thearch waited for Jiang Yi and Qi Qingchen to leave before he murmured, utterly perplexed. “There isn’t anyone of importance in Stellarsky City, right? The City Lord seemed to have caused some trouble a while ago; could the two of them be targeting the City Lord?”
