Chapter 405: Whoever Gets it, We will Take it from Them!

Qian w.a.n.guan replied with a message one day later. The answer made Jiang Yi speechless. Qian w.a.n.guan said that someone discovered a rare demonic beast in the western sea… the Black Wasp.
The Black Wasp was naturally a type of wasp, but it was extraordinary. Not only could it grow up to a meter long, but its abdomen was also bulging out like a pregnant woman. This Black Wasp had this sting that was very toxic, and almost all the victim would die from the sting. However, the Black Wasp’s honey was a supplement of the best grade and was ranked third in the top ten heaven-and-earth treasures.
This wasn’t an important point. What was important was that… the Black Wasp’s honey could be used to extend a martial artist’s lifespan. One could actually increase their lifespan for more than a few decades after consuming the honey!
Didn’t all the martial artists diligently cultivate just to extend their lifespan? There were also plenty of influential figures who had esteemed positions and great authority, who naturally wanted to live longer. Of course! The ladies that had n.o.ble status were the ones who were most concern about the honey. Since it could extend lifespan, it could also nourish the skin and beautify them—maintaining their youth.
A few thousand years ago—when someone spotted a hive of Black Wasps, all the experts in the continent gathered to fight for that little bit of honey. Finally, after hundreds of deceased experts, the victor was the Northern Liang Kingdom; and that generation’s king had lived for more than an additional hundred years.
The Black Wasp was a tier-three peak-grade demonic beast, and there would be at least a few tens of thousands of them in a single hive. They had a dreadful toxic sting, but as long as they were careful, they weren’t hard to deal with.
Jiang Yi wasn’t really interested in this matter, but Qian w.a.n.guan, Zhan Wushuang, and even Yun Fei had gone over. He was a little curious, and after he received the information he muttered for a moment and asked, “Did Queen Ruoxue send anyone?”
“She did!”
The deacon nodded and replied, “However, she only sent one peak-stage Soul Travel Realm general along with a few men and plenty of treasures. I reckoned that she didn’t ask them to go fight for it, but to use treasures to exchange for some.”
“Uh!”
Jiang Yi had this indescribably sick feeling. She was a queen of one of the six va.s.sal kingdoms, and she only sent a few men? It wasn’t even comparable to a great aristocratic clan. A ruler of a kingdom wanted something and didn’t dare to send someone to s.n.a.t.c.h it. They also had to use treasures to exchange for it submissively. With all that, then this ruler was truly too restrained.
“Ruoxue wants the honey, too?”
Jiang Yi’s heart was tempted. Ever since he knew Su Ruoxue, he had never gifted her something that she liked. She did like that G.o.d Shooter Bow, but a pity that her cultivation was too low, and she had pa.s.sed it onto Jiang Xiaonu.
“We are getting married soon. If I can get that honey and present it to Ruoxue, she will definitely be happy. En… I shall go to the western sea then. Since there are so many individuals there, would any of the Vajra Realm martial experts dare to kill me publicly?”
Jiang Yi made the decision quickly. With the speed of the Yazi Beast, this trip to the Western Peace City would probably take a two-week round trip. Since the Witch G.o.d’s inheritance was already obtained, there wasn’t a difference in spending these two weeks.
“Send a message to Queen Ruoxue. Tell her I will go to Western Peace City. Ask her to wait for my return with ease.”
Jiang Yi instructed the deacon and left the small town while riding on the Yazi Beast. He flew towards the northwest direction and quickly arrived at the nearby vicinity of the Netherworld Forest.
Buzz!
He looked around to make sure no one was around before the Fire Dragon Sword suddenly appeared in his hand. He gathered the orange essence force and poured it into the Fire Dragon Sword. He then cleaved vigorously at the forest at the front.
Tsk-Tsk!
The orange essence force immediately split into tens of thousands of little fire dragons and was launched ahead. An entire patch of forest was destroyed while the soil and rocks on the surface of the ground were instantly turned into dust. There was a sky-shaking explosion, which gave rise to smoke and dust which covered the sky.
“Oh, my G.o.d!”
Once the dust and smoke settled down, Jiang Yi was shocked after scanning the destruction. The entire forest ahead was destroyed, and the radius was around one mile. The surface of the ground was left with a giant pit that was at least a hundred meters deep.
“Demon king, let’s go!”
Jiang Yi had a boost of confidence. This attack was already comparable to a peak-stage Soul Travel Realm attack. He had just to refine some more celestial stones, and his attack strength would be comparable to a Vajra Realm martial expert.
The Yazi Beast had been flying towards the northwest, and Jiang Yi asked it to fly 30 kilometers up in the sky, where normal martial artists wouldn’t be able to detect them. As for Vajra Realm martial experts? He was now traveling at the borders of the Saint Spirit Kingdom and Heaven Mystics Kingdom, which meant that there would be zero possibility of any Vajra Realm martial experts below.
Furthermore, even if a Vajra Realm martial expert detected him, he wasn’t afraid at all. Who would dare to publicly kill him? Also, this Yazi Beast wasn’t just a mount.
…
The Western Peace City, which was located in the northwest of the Heaven Mystics Kingdom and also near the sea, was currently very bustling with excitement. The gathering of the experts had frightened the Western Peace City Lord, Yun Li, causing him to be deprived of sleep at night.
The city might have tens of thousands of soldiers, but there were less than a hundred Soul Travel Realm experts. Right now, the young masters and ladies from the various clans had brought along Soul Travel Realm experts which numbered more than five hundred.
Fortunately, Yun Fei had brought along some men while Zhan Wushuang and Qian w.a.n.guan had also brought some Soul Travel Realm experts, too. With the young masters and ladies from the great aristocratic clans—and also the princes and princesses around, none of them dared to behave recklessly. Hence, it gave Yun Li a bit of relief.
During this period of time, all the mountain peaks and wilderness in the nearby surroundings of the Western Peace City had been explored by scouts; but no one was able to find the Black Wasps’ nest.
It was obvious that the Black Wasps’ nest should be located in one of the islands of the western sea. Recently, these princes, princesses, young masters, and ladies were all purchasing various types of necessities to venture out to the sea. This helped the merchant stores in the Western Peace City profited a lot of money.
Venturing out into the sea was very dangerous!
There were plenty of sea demons in the sea, and these young masters, ladies, princes, and princesses weren’t particularly strong. If they were to fall into the sea by accident, the consequences would be unimaginable. Hence, the various clans and the royal clans had made ample preparation. They prepared dozens of firm wooden s.h.i.+ps, which were all kept in the ancient divine essence ring, to prevent any mishaps if their current s.h.i.+p was destroyed.
Three days later, dozens of s.h.i.+ps departed; and all the n.o.ble and royal descendants were very excited. The sea was a forbidden area for the Stellarsky Continent, and these people might never have the opportunity to venture out into the sea.
Right now, because of the Black Wasps, everyone was gathered and could take care of one another mutually, which gave them this great opportunity. The various royal clans and great clans must have considered this point and allowed them to take this risk. Since they had to experience some kind of tribulation in order for them to achieve rapid growth.
This time, the Azure Dragon Empire sent Prince Ling Fei and Princess Ling Yue. The Northern Mang Kingdom sent out Xiao Tianhu from the no.1 aristocratic clan, Dao Zhan, and the others. The Divine Martial Kingdom sent Xia Feiyu, Jiang Yiliu, Zhan Wushuang, Zhan Lin’er, Qian w.a.n.guan, and the others. The Heaven Mystics Kingdom only sent Yun Fei and Young Master Huo Shu. The Northern Liang Kingdom sent a princess and eight other young masters. The Saint Spirit Kingdom similarly sent a princess and more than ten young masters.
The three major colleges sent a few vice princ.i.p.als and a group of students. Shui Qianrou, who had been humiliated by Jiang Yi, was in a slump. Hence, Shui Youlan took the opportunity and asked her to lead a group of people out here to relieve her stress, preventing her from sinking into oblivion. The Great Zen Monastery still sent out the little monk, Huigeng, along with a group of monks with shaven heads.
It was worth to mention that Dugu Yan was also here, and the number of men she brought along wasn’t any lesser than the other clans. A lady was most concerned about their outward appearance, and this Black Wasps’ honey was considered the best supplement which was able to extend the lifespan and could slow down the aging process. Furthermore, she was able to meet all the elite young masters on the continent; and she was naturally not going to miss such a huge event.
This was considered an a.s.semblage of talented youths, and every clan had powerful guards that tagged along. There was a whole stretch of Soul Travel Realm experts that numbered more than five hundred, with more than one hundred peak-stage Soul Travel Realm experts. Of course, none of the Vajra Realm martial experts had come as it was just a hive of Black Wasps. If a Vajra Realm martial expert had to make a move, it would be as though they were making a big fuss out of a minor incident.
What everyone didn’t know was that…
Two days after they departed to the sea, an enormous beast was following behind silently. Jiang Yi was seated leisurely above and looked at the tiny black spots from a distance. He let out a mischievous laugh and said, “Demon king, follow them from a distance and don’t get too close. We will let them fight in the front while we snagged from behind. Whoever gets it, we will take it from them!”
