Shadow Emperor returned in less than one hour and with a thick stack of information. After he handed the information to Jiang Yi, he stood there silently as Jiang Yi opened up the information and got dumbstruck.
The information was very thick, and there were countless Yi Piaopiaos and Yu Wens stated in the information. There were some information that were very detailed: it contained their clan, age, strength, and even those members of their parent’s generations. There were some which were very simple and only had a few words. There were at least tens of thousands of Yi Piaopiao and Yu Wen listed in this stack of information. The demon race scout was indeed incredible.
Jiang Yi patiently read through all the information and took out a brush to strike out those unrelated people. Like some Yi Piaopiaos who were already over 70 or 80 years old, making it totally impossible.
Ao Lu wasn’t in anxious while Shadow Emperor stood straight by the side like a log. Jiang Yi read through everything and spent over two hours to finally scan through the tens of thousands of Yi Piaopiaos. He had struck off a majority of the people, leaving only slightly more than a hundred.
As for Yu Wen, it was even more challenging as he didn’t even know if Yu Wen was a male or female. What was his age; what was his strength? He could only strike off those that were too far in disparity and ultimately leaving slightly more than 300 Yu Wens.
“Lord Shadow Emperor, can I trouble the demon race to help me investigate on these hundreds of people? See if they went over to the East Imperial Continent! That’s right…”
Jiang Yi handed the information over to Shadow Emperor and recalled something else and said, “Six or seven years ago, Yi Piaopiao had come over to the G.o.ds Bestow Tribe and brought along a DemiG.o.d expert. They then had a huge battle with the Lu Clan’s experts. I can draw the portrait of those two individuals!”
“Alright!”
Shadow Emperor silently nodded while Jiang Yi took out his paper and brush to paint it quickly. After sketching out Yi Piaopiao and that DemiG.o.d expert’s remarkably life-like portraits, Shadow Emperor received it and nodded. “Young Master, don’t worry. I will do my best to investigate, and I will make sure to find the person you are looking for.”
“Shadow Emperor!”
Ao Lu spoke as well, “Jiang Yi’s Little Sister is from the Ink Feather Race and can transform. She is now at the peak of the second stage of the Ink Feather Divine Art, and after she transforms, her strength will reach the peak stage of Heaven Monarch. Is there such a bizarre race on East Imperial Continent?”
Shadow Emperor was startled for a moment, and he answered firmly subsequently, “There isn’t!”
Jiang Yi knitted his brows and asked with doubts, “Lord Shadow Emperor, don’t you need to check it?”
“I don’t need it!”
Shadow Emperor answered firmly, “I know all the special races in the entire Stellarsky Domain, and there isn’t such a race as mentioned by Young Master. This is the first time I am hearing Ink Feather Race… these three words.”
“That is strange…”
Jiang Yi blinked his eyes in doubt and pondered for a moment and waved his hand. “Then investigate on Yi Piaopiao and Yu Wen first!”
After finding Yi Piaopiao, the puzzle of Jiang Xiaonu’s history would unravel by itself. With the help from the demon race, Jiang Yi had already ruled out plenty of people. It should be easy to investigate, right?
“Alright now, kid!”
Ao Lu waved his hand and dismissed Shadow Emperor before speaking in a serious tone, “The things that you need have been arranged for you. The members of the demon race will immediately report to you once there is any information. When are you going to depart for the Golden Crow Race’s mystic realm and comprehend the Mirage Divine Ability? The Mystic Divine Palace will be opening in five years, and Qianqian can only survive for another ten years. The earlier you depart, the higher the chance for Qianqian’s survival.”
Ao Lu was also at wit’s end. The human puppets that the demon race controlled weren’t powerful, and even experts would find it hard to infiltrate the Purgatory Ruin which was near the Buddha Thearch City. Jiang Yi might not have overwhelming strength, but he could see through the Mystic Thearch’s arrangement. Ao Lu highly regarded him and believed that Jiang Yi would definitely be able to obtain the Fire-Snake Orchid.
“I will inform Xiaonu and depart immediately!”
Jiang Yi wished to fly to East Imperial Continent as soon as possible, too. The earlier he went to East Imperial Continent, the fewer days where Su Ruoxue would have to suffer. Ao Lu nodded and spoke loudly, “Qianqian, bring that la.s.s over here.”
Short moments later, Qianqian came over with Jiang Xiaonu. Jiang Yi elaborated the situation to Jiang Xiaonu, and as soon as Jiang Yi finished explaining, Jiang Xiaonu responded, “Young Master, I will follow you to the East Imperial Continent.”
“No way!”
Jiang Yi refused immediately and spoke as though there was no room for discussion. “This matter must not be messed around with. After I comprehended the Mirage Divine Ability, I will bring you back to G.o.ds Bestow City. This time, no one can go. It will be even more dangerous if I bring any of you along.”
Jiang Xiaonu looked back at Jiang Yi like a lion cub and bit her lip while replying, “If Young Master doesn’t bring me, then I will go myself. Unless Young Master ties me up or kills me.”
“You…”
Jiang Yi was trembling from anger, and Ao Lu was a little impatient after listening. His eyes flickered as he transmitted a message, “Kid, go to the Golden Crow Race’s mystic realm first. Later on, this Great One will train this la.s.s and make her stronger. Don’t worry… with this Great One around, nothing will happen to this la.s.s.”
“Alright!”
Jiang Yi nodded silently. If Jiang Xiaonu was brought back to G.o.ds Bestow City, Qian w.a.n.guan and the others wouldn’t be able to stop her from venturing out. By staying here, not only would she be able to increase her strength, but Ao Lu wouldn’t allow Xiaonu to slip away either. With Qianqian around, Xiaonu wouldn’t feel lonely as well. He no longer tangled around with Jiang Xiaonu anymore and after speaking ambiguously for two statements, Ao Lu got Black Deity to bring Jiang Yi to the Golden Crow Race’s mystic realm.
Jiang Xiaonu was afraid Jiang Yi might leave her behind and insisted on going along. Jiang Yi had no choice but to bring her along while Qianqian had no choice but to follow with a forced smile.
…
The Golden Crows were originally powerful and ferocious avians. After the demon races were forced into the Endless Deep Sea, the Golden Crow Race had no choice but to follow into the sea. Due to the inadaptability to life underwater, the Golden Crow Race had suffered a great blow and had nearly gone extinct.
It was fortunate that the Golden Crow Race had happened across a mystic realm and comprehended a divine ability, which allowed them to change their physical form and soul spirit aura presence. Whenever a powerful enemy invaded them, they would turn into the Endless Deep Sea’s most powerful race to intimidate and repel the opposition. It allowed the Golden Crow Race to struggle at death’s door and survive, and after they slowly adapted to the underwater life, their race gradually got stronger.
With Black Deity paving the path, the journey was extremely peaceful as the demon races would avoid long before they approached. Jiang Yi had been conversing with Qianqian using transmissions, and he had gotten to know about Black Deity’s status in the Endless Deep Sea.
The Endless Deep Sea was a hundred times bigger than the Blood Night Fearsome Sea. Back then, millions of demon races’ members had all been chased out into the sea, which allowed the Endless Deep Sea to have tens of thousands of powerful demon races. There were at least a hundred races which possessed Demon Sovereigns. In other words… the Endless Deep Sea possessed at least a few hundred Demon Sovereigns.
Before Ao Lu returned, the Endless Deep Sea was in a state of chaotic battle as the powerful races each occupied their territory by force, which caused frequent and violent battles between races. After Ao Lu returned, he destroyed five of the powerful demon races alone and eliminated more than ten Demon Sovereigns, causing the entire Endless Deep Sea to cower under his martial prowess. The 36 strongest Demon Sovereigns were bestowed with t.i.tles by Ao Lu like the Black Deity and Shadow Emperor. There were plenty of Demon Sovereigns that weren’t even qualified to enter the Xuanwu Palace, let alone having t.i.tles.
The Golden Crow Race’s Demon Sovereign wasn’t qualified to receive the t.i.tle, too.
In a ravine at the seabed, Jiang Yi was led by the Black Deity and had arrived at the Golden Crow Race’s territory. The Golden Crow Race had constructed a giant array at the entire ravine at the seabed, which isolated seawater. There were countless castles which were towering on both sides of the ravine. When the Golden Crow Race’s chief felt the Black Deity’s aura presence, he quickly led the Golden Crow Race’s expert out to welcome them.
“Greetings to Princess Qianqian and Lord Black Deity!”
Jiang Yi and Jiang Xiaonu revealed astonished expressions when they saw a group of black-robed men and women martial artists bowing and greeting to Qianqian and Black Deity. These Golden Crow Race members were actually three-legged, and it was fortunate that the duo had seen plenty of strange races in the deep sea. They weren’t overly surprised.
Black Deity waved his hand and spoke in a callous tone, “Open up the mystic realm and let Jiang Yi enter to comprehend!”
“This…”
The Golden Crow Race’s Chief revealed a trace of astonishment and shook his head while replying in a cold voice, “Apologies, Lord Black Deity. Apart from the Golden Crow Race’s members, no other races are allowed inside the mystic realm, let alone humans!”
