Chapter 1503: Someone’s Following Us
He! He!

From afar, they heard a series of shouts. Jiang Yi turned, secretly rooting for Qi Qingchen.
This woman brought all the men present to shame. Like a breeze, she flowed through the Sword Emanations Race beings. Each time her soft sword moved, one Sword Emanations Race being’s head would be cut to pieces; and its body would fall to the ground. Countless Sword Emanations Race beings charged towards her from all directions like sharp knives. Yet, she managed to dodge every last one of them.
She charged forward, sideways, backward… around and around…
Qi Qingchen was demonstrating the most beautiful form of movement techniques that Jiang Yi had ever seen. Her body moved like catkins in the wind. Many times, her entire body bent and twisted so much that she looked like a permed lock of hair. It was almost as if she did not have any bones. Yet, her expression remained calm and relaxed, and her movements remained elegant and graceful. The observers could not help but admire her.
Bang!
Jiang Yi was so captivated that he did not notice a little blade stab into his chest, causing his body to fly backward. He quickly turned away from Qi Qingchen. This woman was a poisonous poppy flower indeed. The longer Jiang Yi stared at her, the more interesting she looked and the more captivated he became.
Of course, Jiang Yi was purely appreciating the beautiful things in life. His heart had turned cold a long time ago. He already promised Yi Chan, Yin Ruobing, and the others that he would not fall for another woman in the Higher Domain. This woman was toxic; falling for her would cause his bones to break easily.
The other six people were ferocious as well. They were not Titled Battle Gods for nothing. These six people were the guards that the Wintry Sovereign specially sent to protect Qi Qingchen; their battle skills were a sight to behold. What’s more, the Sword Emanations Race’s attack was plain vanilla. They only depended on their little blades. Although the other six people were not as powerful and aggressive as Qingchen Battle Goddess—in just five minutes, they killed several hundred Sword Emanations Race beings as well.
Each time they killed one, ten thorns would fall to the ground listlessly. The pressure that the rest face weakened over time. The formidable martial artists began to move further apart, prepared to clear out a couple of Sword Emanations Race beings themselves. After all, they could not depend on Qi Qingchen and her six companions every time these beings appeared, could they?
A single Sword Emanations Race being was not strong on its own. They were scariest when they joined forces to attack. They could also attack with their limbs. If one went through an army of Sword Emanations Race beings, they would feel long swords attacking them from all directions. No matter how hard they tried to dodge, they would not be able to.
Now, the formation had already been messed up by Qi Qingchen and her six companions. It was not hard for many people to rush into the middle of the formation and begin killing more Sword Emanations Race beings. Their morale was boosted, and they fought with much more gusto.
Slowly, everyone became familiar with the way that the Sword Emanations Race fought. As long as they did not allow them to gather together, they were not that scary. The Fire Phoenix Army was made up of Battle-God-ranked formidable martial artists. There were no young masters inside. This gave them leverage in terms of skills.
The only thing that troubled the army was…
The Sword Emanations Race’s defense was too strong. Without superior-grade divine equipment, they could not break their heads with just a couple of moves. What’s more, attacking their bodies and limbs caused no injury to them whatsoever. They were dead; of course, they would not feel anything even if their bodies got attacks.
With a hundred or more people joining the battle, they managed to kill off the Sword Emanations Race beings much faster. In just an hour, more than half of thousands of Sword Emanations Race beings were gone. Qi Qingchen turned back around, allowing the remaining people to clean up after her. Jiang Yi, Di Ling’er, and the Poison Spirit did not join in the battle there. Jiang Yi knew his own skills well, Di Ling’er’s battle skills were too weak, and the Poison Spirit had to stay behind to take care of both of them.

General!

None of the Sword Emanations Race beings were attacking them anymore. Jiang Yi curiously asked,
How many Sword Emanations Race beings are there in this mystic realm? Will we meet an army of tens of thousands of them?


Of course, we will!

Qi Qingchen answered him confidently.
Back then, when I accompanied Majesty Father here to train, we met an army of more than a hundred thousand Sword Emanations Race beings. However, this happens very rarely. Mostly, the armies would contain tens of thousands of such beings. As long as we don’t go to the base camps of the Sword Emanations Race and our luck does not get too bad, we will probably not meet an army of more than a hundred thousand of them.


Oh!

Jiang Yi’s expression darkened. If they met an army of tens of thousands of Sword Emanations Race beings, it was likely that they would suffer huge losses and injuries. Qi Qingchen glanced at Jiang Yi and said,
Don’t worry, if we meet such a big army, I will lead some other people to hold the fort. If both of you retreat immediately, it will not be too dangerous.


No way, that’s still too dangerous!

Jiang Yi turned to the Poison Spirit and said,
Poison Spirit, go in place of Qi Fei to inspect the path. If you find a huge army of Sword Emanations Race beings, we will make a detour immediately.


Poison Spirit?

Qi Qingchen turned to glance at him and then laughed lightly.
If he goes to inspect the path, we will indeed be much safer. The Phantom Race’s Art of Concealment is the best in the world!


General, you flatter me.

Poison Spirit cupped his hands and said humbly,
Poison Spirit will go and try my best. General, please protect my young lord on my behalf.


Keke!

Qi Qingchen grinned and said,
Don’t worry. With me around, your young lord will not die. Go ahead…

Swish!
Poison Spirit seemed to disappear into thin air and replaced Qi Fei to inspect the path. Jiang Yi’s heart immediately relaxed. The Phantom Race made excellent scouts; there was no better than them.

Base camps?

Jiang Yi recalled what Qi Qingchen said, his eyes lighting up slightly. In a low voice, he said,
Did the King-Ranked martial artists who came to investigate earlier enter these base camps? Perhaps there are formidable martial artists hidden in those base camps, and maybe there are bigger arrays there. I can’t help but feel like these Sword Emanations Race beings are more like puppets.


No…

Qi Qingchen gave a sure answer and explained,
The King-Ranked martial artists have all gone to those base camps. Even Majesty Father had gone before. They searched the base camps very thoroughly but did not find any restrictions or arrays; neither did they find any sign of life. These Sword Emanations Race beings are indeed strange creatures, born out of heaven and earth. Keke… Jiang Yi, when you become stronger in the future, you can go into the base camps of the Sword Emanations Race. It is said that there are hundreds of millions of Sword Emanations Race beings in there…


No!

Jiang Yi shook his head profusely. He was not a masochist; why would he seek to be tortured?
As they spoke, the battle came to an end. This battle went perfectly. No one died, but about twenty people were injured. Two of them were seriously injured at that.

Qi Hai, bring those two people into the spatial divine item to recuperate. Everyone else, we’ll move along. Qi Fei, there is no need for you to inspect the path anymore. Come along with everyone else.
Qi Qingchen had already given the order. At the same time, she scanned Di Ling’er and Jiang Yi and said,
Qi Hai, you’ll be in charge of guarding the Inspector-General and the rest later on.

When Qi Fei saw that the Poison Spirit had disappeared, she did not feel too surprised. Instead, she felt relieved of a big burden. The Phantom Race formidable martial artists were natural scouts. They could not possibly leave this talent out of the job and use tactless and impulsive people like him to do the inspecting.
Qi Hai hid the other two seriously injured soldiers away and then flew to lead Jiang Yi and the soldiers forward. This time, their mission location was a bit further. They had to fly for a full day and a half before they would arrive at the destination. However, it was not too dangerous. Everything depended on whether their journey would be peaceful.
The journey was indeed peaceful!
After flying more than half a day, they did not meet another Sword Emanations Race army. Along the way, the Poison Spirit left behind clues to let the people behind him know the right path to travel. All the group had to do was follow these clues.
A day later, they still did not meet another army of Sword Emanations Race beings. The Fire Phoenix Army was finally convinced of the Poison Spirit’s talents. Even Qi Qingchen specially sent a voice transmission over, expressing her surprise at the Poison Spirit’s power.
Swish!
Another two hours passed before the Poison Spirit suddenly returned. Jiang Yi gazed at him nervously and asked,
What’s the matter, Poison Spirit? Is there an army of Sword Emanations Race beings ahead?


No!

The Poison Spirit shook his head, but there were obvious shock and suspicion on his mediocre face. He turned to glance at Qi Qingchen and then explained quietly,
I found traces of the Phantom Race’s formidable martial artists nearby. Although we did not come face to face… I am seventy-percent sure that the Phantom Race’s formidable martial artists are following us.


Phantom Race?

Jiang Yi and Qi Qingchen exchanged a meaningful look. Both of them looked astonished. The Demon-Buster Army had people from the Phantom Race. Could Yi Buhui be leading formidable martial artists here? Why was Yi Buhui sending people to follow them? Could they be plotting something?
