It was easy to chase after that other scout. After all, the scout was only an eighth-stage Heaven Monarch—far weaker than Jiang Yi. He had only taken a couple of minutes to catch up with him. In the end, he found that the result was the same. Before Jiang Yi could do a thing, the scout killed himself.

Jiang Yi searched the Ancient Divine Essence Ring on this scout’s body and found that apart from a message token and some celestial stones, there was nothing else that could prove the man’s identity. He had no more leads left.

Bang!

With one slap of his palm, the scout’s corpse was reduced to dust. After searching the surroundings and finding nothing out of the ordinary, Jiang Yi had no other choice but to continue on his way.

This time, he did not make use of the underground passages. That would only slow him down. What’s more, he was not afraid of generating astral winds. Thus, he could fearlessly rush above ground. As he did so, he kept his divine senses on the surroundings. Each time he detected someone in the distance, he would make a detour and go around him.

Over the past two years, his spirit had strengthened significantly. His divine senses could now reach more than fifty kilometers away. Normally, a peak-stage Heaven Monarch could not achieve the same distance unless their spirits had additional boosts.

The rest of the night was rather uneventful. Jiang Yi only stopped to rest when the sun began to rise again. After a while, he checked his surroundings again and resumed his journey. On the way, he met several scouts and armies. However, they were just like the ones Jiang Yi saw the day before. The armies and martial artists from the Chen Clan were just putting on a show. They did not cause any trouble whatsoever for Jiang Yi.


They’re back again!


Three days later, Jiang Yi discovered two more scouts in black. They were dressed just like the two scouts he had met that very first time. What’s more, their skill levels and speed were about the same. They followed him from afar. In the day, Jiang Yi did not dare to go too fast in the daylight so it was a breeze for the scouts to stalk him.


Kill!


It was not a good feeling to be followed and under the control of these people behind him. Jiang Yi waited until the scouts got closer than fifty kilometers before he turned right around to chase them down.

There were scouts from the Divine Sonar Region around. Jiang Yi did not dare to make use of the Divine Sound Heaven Skill. Thus, when he reached the scouts, both of them had already killed themselves. However, Jiang Yi was sure that even if he had made use of the Divine Sound Heaven Skill to capture the two scouts, he would not have gotten any new clues. People who were not even afraid of death surely could not be scared into talking.

After getting rid of these two scouts, Jiang Yi continued on his way. He changed his physical form and spiritual aura once again. He was now an old man. Three days later, there were more scouts on his tail.


How freaky…
 

Jiang Yi was in a dilemma now. He almost immediately used Heaven Evasion. So many days had passed, and the North Thearch still had not caught up with him. Jiang Yi guessed that his true identity had not yet been exposed. These scouts must have some kind of mystic ability that could lock in on him.

At last, Jiang Yi did not use Heaven Evasion. He wanted to find out who exactly was chasing him down. Logically, whatever major clan this was had been chasing him down for so long now. Whoever was behind it should be showing his face anytime now, right?

He turned around and easily got rid of the scouts before he continued on his way again. On the ninth day, he arrived at the boundary between the Divine Sonar Region and the Yin Clan’s huge territory. The scouts behind him finally revealed themselves.

There are more than three thousand people and three hundred peak-stage Heaven Monarchs among them. I guess there are about ten or so five-star martial artists? What a strong army!

Jiang Yi used his divine senses to scan the thousands of people who were running toward him. All of their divine senses seemed to lock in on him. There were thousands of people now trying to take his life. A few of them had obviously been trained in wind-elemental dao patterns. Some of them even tried to go around him and attack him from behind so that he had nowhere left to run.

There were so many formidable martial artists who were traveling much faster than him. Jiang Yi only had two options: First, use Heaven Evasion to get out of here. Second, kill them all.

He chose the second option. If he did not find out how these scouts followed him, he would not be able to eat or rest properly.

Jiang Yi sat quietly on the peak of a hill, without too much concern about the countless martial artists running toward him. Instead, he closed his eyes and released his divine perception. If he wanted to kill this many people—among who were about ten five-star formidable martial artists at that—he would have to use all of his powers. If there was anyone nearby observing all of this, his identity might be exposed.


Very well!


Jiang Yi checked the surroundings within a hundred kilometers of himself. He was surprised to find that apart from the three thousand people running toward him, there was no one else. After thinking for a while, he made up his mind. These three thousand people must have been hiding here for a long while. They must have gotten rid of all the bandits who had been in hiding before. They were just waiting for him to walk right into their trap. Jiang Yi guessed that they did not want to expose who they were either.

Swish! Swish!

The three thousand people quickly formed a circle and surrounded Jiang Yi. They closed in on him, but Jiang Yi did not make a single move. He did not even open his eyes. Instead, he entered the State of the Union of Heaven and Man and locked his divine senses in on them.


Eh? Why does this man not look like the man in the picture? Could we have made a mistake?



That’s right. The man in the picture is young. This is an elderly man who is only a fifth-stage Heaven Monarch. Didn’t Sixteenth Elder say the man we’re looking for is a peak-stage Heaven Monarch?



It is a little strange. Let’s ask Lord Zhan.



…


As the army came within twenty kilometers of Jiang Yi, they caught the side of his face and became astonished. They began to discuss among themselves. Jiang Yi overheard these discussions, and both of his eyebrows raised slightly. His body stiffened.

Lord Zhan?

These three thousand or so people were clearly from different clans. Jiang Yi could easily separate them into four different groups. These must be the formidable martial artists from aristocratic families in the surrounding region. A Lord Zhan, who was able to activate these clans… that could only be someone from the Zhan Clan, which was among the Nine Thearch Clans!

Zhan Tianlei!

Jiang Yi sniggered, and yet he did not understand. Why was Zhan Tianlei coming after him? Why was he plotting to kill him? Could Zhan Tianlei have found out about his relationship with Yin Ruobing?


There’s no need to think about it any longer. This man is Yi San. The disciples of our Zhan Clan are trained in the Blood Debt Seal. Whoever has killed someone from the Zhan Clan would have blood debt on their hands and body. We could sense him from hundreds of kilometers away. He must be trained in some kind of disguising technique.


Someone with a cool, hard voice spoke up among the crowd. Jiang Yi locked in on one particular elder in black robes. Finally, the mystery that had been plaguing him over the past few days was resolved. Jiang Yi hardened his heart and quickly changed his aura once again so that he became Yi San. Secretly, he was shocked that the Zhan Clan was so strong. They were actually trained in such a magnificent skill, so that whoever dared to kill one of their own would perish.


Kill—


The thousands of people hesitated no more. One by one, they flew toward Jiang Yi like divine rainbows. Countless divine senses once again scanned his body. By the time the crowd was two or three kilometers from Jiang Yi, Jiang Yi realized that a significant person’s divine senses were trying to enter his spiritual consciousness. He also heard the man in the black robe laugh mirthlessly:
That’s right. This is Yi San. His spiritual aura is exactly the same as his. I searched him before back at the Divine Sonar Valley.


This sped the thousands of martial artists back up again. Their hands began to light up as they prepared to attack him. The man in the black robe spoke again.
Be careful when you attack him. Don’t cause any damage to the spatial realm. See if you can catch him alive. This rascal has two girls hidden in a spatial divine item. Those are the people that Young Master wants alive. Be careful, everyone. This man’s spiritual attacks are extremely formidable.



Hehe!


Jiang Yi celebrated in his heart. These people wanted him alive? A colony of bees was now flying toward him—that made it so much easier for him to kill them all. However, the thought that Zhan Tianlei wanted Tang Xue and Tang Yan caused Jiang Yi’s heart to sink. If there was a chance, he would want to kill Zhan Tianlei no matter how strong the Zhan Clan was.

If people leave me alone, I would not cause them trouble either. If they want to come after me, then I go after them at all costs! 

This was the principle that Jiang Yi lived by. No matter what kind of amazing background people had, he would make sure that anyone who tried to harm him perished.


Icebound Thousand Miles!


As the thousands of people got even closer to him, Jiang Yi opened his eyes. Both his hands danced around his body as he released the strongest group-attacking dao pattern that he knew. He wanted to make sure that all of them would die here.
