Fury Towards The Burning Heaven

Chapter 898 - Old Friends

Chapter 898: Old Friends

Sure enough, the journey was very safe. Jiang Yi didn’t come out after he entered the cabin. During the night, the guards he had hired would stop the Heaven Fate Ship at the wilderness beneath them and would only continue their journey once it was dawn. Occasionally, they would spot big Heaven Fate Ships passing by, and there would be a huge ‘Yi’ word on the side of those ships. Clearly, those were the Yi Clan’s patrol army.

After flying for six to seven days, Jiang Yi would frequently encounter middle or smaller size Heaven Fate Ship which similarly had young masters and ladies riding it. Of course, those young masters and ladies were a lot more awe-inspiring than him. They brought along hundreds or thousands of guards with them. Jiang Yi even saw a young master bringing along ten thousand Heaven Monarch bodyguards. However, Jiang Yi had no idea which clan was he from.

“Get lost!”

On the tenth day, Jiang Yi was awoken by a deep yell. He extended his divine senses towards the origin of the voice. After which, his soul spirit immediately trembled for a moment before he commanded. “Give way to the side!”

The chief guard he employed immediately controlled the Heaven Fate Ship and flew to the side even without Jiang Yi giving the order because a huge Heaven Fate Ship was approaching them from behind. The ship was actually 300 meters long, and its speed had reached the peak stage of Heaven Monarch Realm. Shockingly, it was the same grade as Tang Clan’s top-grade Heaven Fate Ship.

“Jian Clan? Could it be Jian Wuying?”

Jiang Yi’s divine senses were able to examine the huge ‘Jian’ word at the side of the ship. His heart grew somewhat apprehensive. A big shot from the Jian Clan was definitely sitting within such a big Heaven Fate Ship and would have a lot of experts accompanying him. Things would turn troublesome if they were to see through his identity.

Buzz!

Sure enough, dozens of formidable divine senses swept past his body. His Heaven Fate Ship’s protection cover was too weak and was impossible for it to block against the experts scanning them. What caused him to heave a sigh of relief was that the dozen of divine senses retracted back after it swept past him casually. The Heaven Fate Ship broke through the sky quickly as it disappeared into the clear sky.

“It’s undoubtedly Jian Wuying!”

Jiang Yi was able to guess that Jian Wuying’s cultivation must have advanced greatly. Since he was an arrogant and condescending person, how could he possibly not attend such a grand occasion in order to show off? The regular Jian Clan’s descendants were not ostentatious and overbearing as him.

“This Mirage Divine Ability is really remarkable. Those dozens of people were unable to see through me even though they had such formidable strength.”

Ao Lu had said before that other than those Demigod old codgers, no one would be able to see through him. After experiencing it first hand this time, he was completely relieved as he continued to cultivate in seclusion.

More and more Heaven Fate Ships could be seen as the distance between them and the Purgatory Ruins got nearer. Once again, Jiang Yi was able to spot a top-grade Heaven Fate Ship. However, it wasn’t from the Nine Thearchs Clan. Rather, it was the Shi Clan. Jiang Yi only knew that this ‘Shi Clan’ was actually a great clan after he inquired about it from the chief guard. It was an ancient aristocratic clan that dominated three regions in the central section of the continent. They had an extremely powerful influence.

Jiang Yi no longer cultivated as they would reach the Purgatory Ruins in three days. He started to extend his Divine Perception to examine the terrain. Only by knowing oneself and one’s enemy could one emerge victorious in every battle. It was always a good thing to be familiar with the terrain.

It was unknown if it was because the Yi Clan had dispatched troops to suppress the bandits or whatever the reason could be, there were actually no bandits concealing themselves in this vicinity. After examining the area for a while, Jiang Yi realized that it was due to the powerful astral winds in the high altitude. He reckoned that the astral winds would be even stronger during the nighttime. Thus, moving around in this vicinity was too dangerous.

As expected!

Jiang Yi discovered a terrifying situation after examining the area during the nighttime. During the night, the astral winds ten meters above the ground were ten times stronger than the other places. It got even more terrifying when it reached 300 meters in the sky. It was estimated that even a Five-Star expert wouldn’t be able to endure it without any special ability.

“What a pity. There’s no opportunity for me to comprehend that kind of miraculous wind attribute dao pattern. Otherwise, fleeing would be a piece of cake in this place!”

Jiang Yi sighed inwardly. If he was able to comprehend that kind of wind attribute dao pattern, which expert would dare to hunt him if he was able to penetrate through three kilometers into the high altitude? They could only look at his escape helplessly, and there wasn’t even a need for him to use the Heaven Evasion.

They were about to reach the Purgatory Ruin. He wouldn’t be able to comprehend it even if Jiang Yi could have instant comprehension. Thus, he no longer dared have excessive expectations as he continued to examine the terrain. He released his Divine Perception to probe around because it could extend very far. During the night, he was able to see lots of Heaven Fate Ships that had also stopped. Or, there would be groups of martial artists camping the night. Even a top-grade Heaven Fate Ship wouldn’t dare to fly in this vicinity, and even if it could withstand, it would certainly consume a lot of energy.

Dawn arrived, and the Heaven Fate Ships continued its flight. When they stopped during the night, Jiang Yi discovered that the astral winds had gotten even stronger. He no longer dared to continue staying inside the ship as he pitched a camp on the ground after putting away his Heaven Fate Ship. His heart was somewhat excited because he would reach the vicinity of Purgatory Ruin tomorrow.

He no longer probed around for the night. Rather, he had a proper sleep to preserve and nurture his spirit so that he would be at his optimal state. There was going to be a gathering of experts in the Purgatory Ruin. Furthermore, there were a lot of old friends there, and he must not expose a single trace of error. Although he had changed his outer appearance, he still needed to change a lot of his habits. Otherwise, people could spot the problem easily, and he would be consigned to eternal damnation.

He slept till dawn and did not rush to set off. Rather, he got his guards to capture a few wild animals while he set up the fire to prepare a meal. Only after eating a good meal did he carry on his journey leisurely.

He had employed this group of guards for three months. In these three months, the ten of them would be his subordinates and bodyguards. However, the merchant association had an agreement. They would escape if they were to encounter a formidable enemy that they couldn’t defeat, and so Jiang Yi didn’t place hope on these ten middle-stage Heaven Monarchs.

The closer he got to the Purgatory Ruin, the more Jiang Yi didn’t dare to release his Divine Perception. He was able to use his divine senses to sense countless Heaven Fate Ships had gathered towards the Purgatory Ruin. An average person would never be able to sense his Divine Perception sorcery arts. What if there was a special race? It would infuriate the experts if he were to probe around unrestrainedly.

Finally, everyone reached the destination during the afternoon, and Jiang Yi inhaled a deep breath of cold air when the scenery entered his vision!

Ahead of him was a big patch of plains, and on the north side of the plains was a range of mountains that were filled with vegetations. That mountain peak was very steep and was three kilometers tall. The mountain peak was also very big, and it looked as if numerous huge beasts crouching there.

There was a deep canyon in the middle of the mountain peak and that should be the entrance to the Purgatory Ruin because majestic city walls could be seen at the sides of the canyon. However, a lot of it was badly damaged, making it seemed somewhat desolate.

All of these weren’t the main point. The main point was the plains outside the canyon!

The perimeter of the plains was around a hundred miles. At this moment, the plains were filled with tents. The boundary of it couldn’t be seen with a single glance, and if one were to look down from on top, it would feel as though there were hundreds of thousands of white flowers blooming.

Taking an average of ten people inside each tent, there would at least be millions of people beneath!

After deducting the bodyguards from all the clans, there should at least be several hundred thousands of people entering the Purgatory Ruin. However, there were still countless Heaven Fate Ships heading over. Besides, there were still ten days before the ruin would open up. Who knew how many people were still going to make their way here?

“Descend!”

Jiang Yi no longer dared to probe around when his Heaven Fate Ship had reached above the plains. All of them descended from the Heaven Fate Ship before Jiang Yi kept it away. He led the ten of them and flew towards a piece of the empty ground like streaks of light.

When Jiang Yi and others descended, hundreds of divine senses swept over immediately. Jiang Yi’s complexion was icy cold, and he ignored those divine senses. He flew towards the vacant space and took out two Heaven Fate Canopies before signaling the ten of them to enter one of the Heaven Fate Canopies while he entered the other Heaven Fate Canopy.

Those hundreds of divine senses had disappeared. Since Jiang Yi brought so little people with him, he was certainly not a major clan’s descendant, and so no one paid attention to him. The Heaven Fate Canopies here were relatively smaller, and the grades were somewhat lower. Therefore, it wouldn’t attract anyone’s attention if Jiang Yi was to hide inside it.

Swish!

A sharp and acute voice rang out from the east just when Jiang Yi had settled down. Immediately, his divine senses swept up as a trace of killing intent flashed past his eyes instantly!

That was the highest grade Heaven Fate Ship, and there were some huge ‘Xie’ words at the side of the ship. At this moment, the Heaven Fate Ship disappeared in mid-air as a demonic youth donned in a red gown and wearing an animal bone necklace with earrings at the side of his ear hovered in mid-air with a thousand martial artists as he looked around. Who was it if it wasn’t She Fei?
