Chapter 916: Divine Temple
Rus.h.!.+ Rus.h.!.+ Rus.h.!.+
Jiang Yi didn’t release the dragon flame divine s.h.i.+eld this time. Instead, he released the Earth fire absorbed from the magma from his Fire Spirit Pearl. This Earth fire was different from that in the volcano and was much hotter than the Nine Heavens Dragon Flames. Of course, it was not as hot as the refined thunder fire.
Jiang Yi didn’t have time to refine the flame. As he was in a rush to catch up, he released the earth fire to congeal an earth fire divine s.h.i.+eld, which was, unsurprisingly, harder than the dragon flame divine s.h.i.+eld. It only broke in every ten kilometers. Of course, it was because Jiang Yi was in the state of the union of heaven and man, which enabled him to avoid a lot of astral winds.
With the earth fire divine s.h.i.+eld, Jiang Yi was much faster. After traveling for half of a day, he was excited to find that Wu Ni and his group stopped for rest. He quickly resumed the journey.
He traveled more than 200 kilometers in one day and reduced the distance between them to 100 kilometers. Wu Ni and his group finally started moving towards the north. However, Wu Ni and his group were too fast and kept widening the gap between them.
“Chase!”
Anyway, he couldn’t kill them right away when he caught up with them. Jiang Yi gritted his teeth, chased frenetically, and waited for the chance to come.
He didn’t take any rest or care about the consumption of the Earth fire. He stood a greater chance to take Wu Ni and Ji Tingyu down here than on the outside. Naturally, he wouldn’t let the opportunity slip.
Even though he didn’t stop pursuing them, the distance between them was widened to 250 kilometers. Clearly, Wu Ni and his group had some ways to stop the astral winds. They were too fast.
In one day, Jiang Yi ran wildly for another 200 kilometers, but they were not over 450 kilometers apart. Jiang Yi’s Divine Perception could barely reach them.
Luckily, Wu Ni and his group stopped for rest again. After going another 100 kilometers, Jiang Yi dug a hole and rested. He was too tired. If he continued to run like this, it was very possible that he would be killed by the astral winds.
He slept for only one hour before getting up. He explored the surroundings and kept on chasing. When he was 200 kilometers away, Wu Ni and his group started moving again and heading to the north.
“d.a.m.n, it’s not working! They are too fast. I’m afraid that I can’t catch them when one-month time is up. Besides, Jian Wuying and Wu Ni are going together. Even if I keep up—with so many people, I will just be walking to my grave!”
Jiang Yi cursed them while rus.h.i.+ng forward. He had no idea where Wu Ni and Jian Wuying were heading. They didn’t stop at the city remains on the way and went straight to the north at full speed.
Only eight days were left. If Wu Ni and their group continued to go so quickly like this, Jiang Yi wouldn’t catch up when the one-month time was up.
“Whatever, I’ll try my best!”
Jiang Yi rushed forward blindly, without caring whether he would catch them. The earth fire in his Fire Spirit Pearl was using up rapidly, which no longer worried him.
In five days…!
Jiang Yi traveled madly for thousands of kilometers and used up the earth fire a long time ago. There was not much thunder fire left either.
Wu Ni and his group also ran to the north for thousands of kilometers and were still 200 kilometers ahead from Jiang Yi. This was the result of them resting for half of a day after walking for one day.
There were only three days left, and Jiang Yi gave up completely. Wu Ni and Jian Wuying had always been together. He couldn’t kill them if he kept up. Right now, he chased them just to see where they were rus.h.i.+ng to.
“Eh?”
Jiang Yi slept for one hour in an underground cave before looking around tiredly. However, he noticed a very strange scene—150 kilometers away on the east, a group of men was rus.h.i.+ng to the north as well. There were over 50 people in that group. They were She Fei’s and Tu Long’s men.
Moreover, one hundred and fifty kilometers away on the west, he also detected two other contingents. Yin Ruobing, Yi Chan, and Ling Qijian were heading to the north together. Also, 300 kilometers away, Ye Ying and the s.h.i.+ Clan, one of the ancient clans, and one other clan were marching together. They, too, aimed to the north!
“What’s happening? What’s in the north?”
There were only three days before everyone was teleported out. Why were they rus.h.i.+ng so madly? Jiang Yi wouldn’t believe that there wasn’t something precious in the north.
“Hur-Hur!”
Jiang Yi already gave up the thought of taking Wu Ni and Ji Tingyu down. They were protected by too many martial experts; he was not an idiot. How could he go there and ask to be killed? He had an idea right now. He would follow the group and prevent Wu Ni from getting the treasures by all means. Since he couldn’t kill him for now, he would make his life miserable and sabotage their plans.
“Let’s go!”
Jiang Yi was happy to do anything that made Ji Tingyu and Wu Ni uncomfortable. He rushed to the north rapidly. He suddenly stopped after narrowing the distance between them to 100 kilometers in half a day.
As the astral winds in this place became very little. He didn’t even need to let out the thunder fire divine s.h.i.+eld; the dragon flame divine s.h.i.+eld could easily last for several kilometers.
“Let me look into the place!”
He dug a hole and buried himself in. Divine Perception spread out, and he soon found Wu Ni and his group. They were resting under a mountain and didn’t show any strange behaviors.
His Divine Perception swept to the two sides, and he easily found She Fei and his group. They were resting at the foot of a mountain several kilometers on the east. On the other side, Yi Chan and Ye Ying were resting below a mountain 50 kilometers away, too.
“It’s a huge mountain!”
Jiang Yi’s Divine Perception extended to a giant mountain on the north. There were hardly any tall mountains in the Purgatory Ruin. He only saw two mountains in the Wind Absolute Valley. The mountain that he saw right now was several times taller and bigger than those in the Wind Absolute Valley.
“Eh?”
Jiang Yi’s Divine Perception swept to the mountain. He soon spotted the unusual things and understood why everyone was here.
There was a huge circular valley in the center of the mountain range. Inside the valley, there was a well-preserved building, which looked like a temple and had a round shape. It was a large temple and was several kilometers wide, which looked very magnificent. Jiang Yi could also sense the ancient vicissitudes of this temple.
“Divine Temple!”
Two words appeared in Jiang Yi’s mind. Yin Ruobing told him that there was one building which was kept in good condition in the center of the Purgatory Ruin—the Divine Temple. It was extremely horrible. The astral winds outside it were 100 times stronger. It also had terrible restrictions. Nine out of ten people who dared to go in would lose their lives. The only ten people who made it out alive only took a round in the periphery.
“Something isn’t right…”
Jiang Yi let out a cold look at his lips. Yin Ruobing must have lied to him. Even not, she must have held back some information. Otherwise, these descendants of the big clans couldn’t all arrive near the Divine Temple at this moment.
One hundred-fold astral winds?
Jiang Yi believed that no one in the Purgatory Ruin could stand it. They reached the Divine Temple a few days before the one month time was up. Surely, they were up to something!
Purgatory Ruin was the residence of an ancient great clan. All the clansmen were annihilated, and the city turned to ruins, except for this Divine Temple. It went without saying that the Divine Temple was the residence of the Clan Head of the ancient clan, with an absurd amount of treasures!
“Let’s go!”
Jiang Yi was going to risk it. He would be teleported out in three days anyway. Even if he was exposed, it was not a big deal to be hunted for just three days. He could use the Divine Sound Heaven Skill to hang in there for three days. Once he was out, he would change his appearance and soul spirit aura right away and sneak out.
He was going to enter the Divine Temple with the rest. It didn’t matter whether he could get the treasures—anything. He would make life difficult for Wu Ni and Ji Tingyu!
