Twenty hours passed by quickly. The Heaven-Splitting Army moved out once again. General Ren Tianfan personally led the army and guards to the teleportation formation, paving the way for the others. Ten more armies followed closely behind them.

The Little Eagle King’s team had just completed a mission and was intending to rest and seclude themselves for a day. However, since Heaven-Splitting Army was going out, he felt that it would be impolite for him to stand down by himself. Thus, he had no choice but to lead his team out as well.

Two hundred thousand people took a total of ten hours to teleport. The Little Eagle King’s army was the last to set off; they had been waiting in the army camp for instructions the entire time. It was not until the first team finished teleporting that the Little Eagle King walked out of his tent and waved his hands coolly. “Let’s go!”

Two hundred thousand people ran out of the army camp as Little Eagle King led the wave of people to the Teleportation Formation. He did not even have the chance to take a close look at his own army so he did not realize that there were five more strangers in his army. The Poison Spirit and the others were donning the Heaven-Splitting Army’s battle armor and posing as personal guards in the army. These soldiers were sent to Mo Huaisang from Mo Changhe. They were in charge of ensuring Mo Huaisang’s safety. It was too easy for the Poison Spirit and the others to sneak their way in.

People in the army noticed that there were four more female bodyguards among them. After all, Yi Chan and the others’ cultivation levels were too low. Immediately, the people around them could sense something was amiss. Of course, nobody dared to poke their noses into their business. This was because they thought that these women were young mistresses of the Earth Emanations Domain and that Mo Huaisang was leading this group of ladies out to play.

In actual fact, the Poison Spirit did not want to bring Su Ruoxue, Yin Ruobing, and the others with him. After all, the Purgatory Mystic Realm was far too dangerous. However, the Poison Spirit did not feel safe leaving them behind either. What if something happened to them while he was gone? Yin Ruobing and Su Ruoxue insisted on coming to see Jiang Yi. They did not feel safe staying behind in Demon-Buster Valley. What’s more, Di Ling’er wanted to tag along as well. The Poison Spirit had no choice but to bring all of these ladies along.

This was what the Poison Spirit was thinking: Di Ling’er and Mo Huaisang were both of noble backgrounds. If the three ladies followed them, anyone who wanted to attack them would have second thoughts for sure.

The Poison Spirit instructed Yi Chan and the three companions time and time again to stay close to Mo Huaisang. They were not allowed to go anywhere else. Yi Chan and company knew the gravity of this situation as well and promised the Poison Spirit that they would not leave Mo Huaisang or Di Ling’er’s sides. Yi Chan was a very objective and wise woman. She was stable in all of her decisions, and she knew how to think of the bigger picture as well. The Poison Spirit was rarely wrong about people; he trusted that they knew what to do.

Buzz!

The Teleportation Formation’s light dissipated. When Mo Huaisang and the group of hundreds of people emerged, countless divine senses swept past them. Someone shouted in a low voice, “Mo Huaisang, go to the peak of that mountain. Don’t go out. Record the battle progress in real time.”

The person who sent this message was the Little Eagle King’s adjutant. Mo Huaisang looked around, then nodded, and said, “Alright, Assistant Commander Mu. Please don’t worry. I will not go out.”

This hill was not big at all. The peak of the mountain measured only five hundred meters in radius. At the very most, only ten thousand people could stand atop it. The clerks of the various armies already made up more than a thousand people. This time, in order to get rid of the Lunar Beasts, they had to take turns to set up array formations so that the army could be protected from the effects of the Demonic Repellant. Thus, at that moment, the peak was filled with people.

Mo Huaisang brought her group of bodyguards to a corner in the east because the army that the Little Eagle King was leading was floating midair in the east, waiting to start their mission.

The Poison Spirit retracted his aura and made use of his appearance altering art. Since he had the Heaven-Splitting Army’s battle armor on and he followed behind Mo Huaisang, nobody paid much attention to him. Yi Chan, Di Ling’er, and the two other women followed closely behind Mo Huaisang as well. When they finally reached the corner, Mo Huaisang asked them to rest where they were. The Poison Spirit turned to look at Yi Chan and sent a voice transmission: “Lady, do you feel anything?”

Yi Chan did not say anything. Instead, she sat cross-legged with her eyes closed, meditating. Di Ling’er and the others surrounded her nervously, waiting for her to share the outcome of her sensing around.

Almost everyone from the Heaven-Splitting Army had already arrived. There was only a portion of the Little Eagle King’s army remaining. The huge army surrounded the mountains in silence, waiting for everyone in the army to take their place. Of course… the crucial thing they were waiting for was the red light, which signified the beginning of the attack of the Lunar Beasts.

The best time to act was when the Lunar Beasts were activated. They could clean them all out in a very short time. The Heaven-Splitting Army General guessed that it would be a good idea to get the army used to the groaning which would emit from underground every fifteen minutes. Otherwise, once the battle began, accidents would easily occur.

Ten minutes later…

Countless figures outside stiffened, their expressions a mask of pain. The good thing was that the weakest soldier in the army was a God King. If Jiang Yi could withstand the pain, this entire group would be able to as well. As long as they did not stay outside for too long, they would not be severely affected by the Demonic Repellent. The protective layer of light outside the peak of the mountain was obviously made out of very powerful restrictions. The groaning had no way of penetrating the restrictions. The people on the mountain peak inside the protective layer of light were not in the least bit affected as well.

“Things will not descend into chaos like that!”

The Poison Spirit nodded subtly. Two hundred thousand soldiers were taking turns to rest, in order to eliminate any effect that the Demonic Repellent had on them. As long as the army did not panic—with so many formidable martial artists co-operating with one another, it would not be too difficult to clear out the Lunar Beasts batch by batch.

“En?”

The poison spirit suddenly realized that Yi Chan’s body was vibrating uncontrollably. Her eyes lit up a thousand times as she looked out into the distance. The moment Yi Chan opened her eyes, she became agitated. As she faced the south, she whispered, “There! He’s alive!”

“Ah?”

Di Ling’er, Yin Ruobing, and Su Ruoxue immediately stiffened as well, pure joy filling their eyes. Mo Huaisang, however, was surprised. She did not believe that Jiang Yi would be able to survive twenty days in here. The other people around Mo Huaisang had no idea what Yi Chan was talking about; neither did they dare to eavesdrop.

The Poison Spirit’s two hands trembled slightly as he clenched his fists. The divine tree was located in the south. There were also countless Sword Emanations Race beings’ remains there. Jiang Yi had indeed gone that way. Yi Chan did not know which direction Jiang Yi had gone when he came in here. Now, she was saying that he was in the south. This meant… Jiang Yi could really be alive.

Hoo-Hoo!

The Poison Spirit heaved out two long sighs and sent a voice transmission in a heavy tone: “Lady Yi, can you sense how far south the Young Lord is?” 

“Yes!”

Yi Chan whispered back confidently. She pondered for a moment and then gave an estimate. “He should be at least five billion miles away!”

The Stellarsky Domain and Higher Domain’s measurements were the same, and their cultures were similar as well. The Stellarsky Domain’s culture should have been derived from the Higher Domain. The Poison Spirit calculated this distance in his heart, and his eyes brightened suddenly. According to his calculations, the divine tree should be about five billion miles from where they were. Could Jiang Yi be near the divine tree? Was he caught by the strange divine tree then?

Jiang Yi was last seen under that tree. Although the remnants of his zither were found nearby, the Poison Spirit did not manage to find anything else. If Jiang Yi had been ripped to pieces, he would have at least left behind his interspatial ring, wouldn’t he? His interspatial ring could not have disappeared into thin air. There were no bones or flesh around the area, too. The Lunar Beasts’ attacks were formidable, but they could not have destroyed Jiang Yi so that not even a bone remained, right?

He’s alive! Young Lord is definitely alive!

The Poison Spirit was so agitated that his entire body was trembling. He forced himself to calm down. The army outside had not started battling. If he acted strangely now, his identity would be exposed for sure. For all he knew, people would start to hunt him down. That was why he had to wait quietly for the battle outside to begin before he could sneak out.

At the same time…!

Five billion miles south of where they were, Jiang Yi suddenly opened his eyes. There was a look of disbelief on his face. At that moment… he felt Yi Chan’s presence.

“How is this possible?”

His eyes brightened up, but he still suspected his own gut. However, his body contained Yi Chan’s Sky Thunder true essence. At that moment, he could clearly feel that Yi Chan was close by. She was in the Purgatory Mystic Realm.
