Chapter 1541 - Main Culprit (1/2)

Yi Tu’s gaze turned to Poison Spirit as he also paused and spoke, “Yi Fan, follow me and return… to the Saint Spirit Domain!”

Poison Spirit’s entire body shook; Yi Tu’s meaning was very clear. As long as Poison Spirit was willing to follow him back, Yi Tu would help Poison Spirit regain his status as a member of the Phantom Race and Poison Spirit was to be given an important position. Yi Tu had said this because he evidently regarded Poison Spirit’s realization of the Divine Spirit Thrust very highly. Of course… Yi Tu was also giving Jiang Yi face.

“Many thanks, Lord Yi Tu!”

Poison Spirit thought for a while as he gritted his teeth, cupped his hands, and said, “You guys can go ahead first. I want to wait a while longer; Young Lord is not someone who would die so easily.”

Qi Qingchen looked over and nodded in agreement, indicating that she would wait a while longer as well. Mo Lingqiu and Yi Tu could do nothing else as they activated the Teleportation Formation and returned to the Demon-Buster Valley.

Swish!

After the Teleportation Formation was activated and the group left, Qi Qingchen and Poison Spirit acted at the same time as they became two shadows and sped to the south. The duo was not going to give up so easily; they decided to head to the Divine Tree and take a look. They were determined to either see Jiang Yi in the flesh if he was alive or his body if he was dead!

The Divine Tree wasn’t that far from the Teleportation Formation; based on the duo’s speed and strength, they could reach the Divine Tree in at most ten hours. Although the Purgatory Mystic Realm was very dangerous—given the two’s level of attainment and strength, they could easily withstand half a day or even one full day.

Bang, bang, bang!

After the two had flown for a short distance, the ground beneath exploded as countless Lunar Beasts shot upwards. A red, flexible sword appeared in Qi Qingchen’s hands as she shouted, “Poison Spirit, go ahead first; I will take care of these!”

Poison Spirit did not hesitate; he was much weaker than Qi Qingchen, and he also had not come to the Purgatory Mystic Realm before. He was very unfamiliar with this place while Qi Qingchen had come here once before to train. However, she had only lasted for half a day before she retreated.

“Clean-Sweeping Hurricane!”

Qi Qingchen’s flexible sword danced as all the clouds and wind in the vicinity were channeled into wind dragons as they soundlessly soared forward and easily slammed the incoming Lunar Beasts away. Qi Qingchen did not linger to fight with the Lunar Beasts as she consecutively released a few Clean-Sweeping Hurricane attacks to beat back the pursuing Lunar Beasts. She then sped to the south immediately.

“Sword Emanations Race beings!”

The two had flown for only five minutes when they saw that the ground was filled with the destroyed bodies of the Sword Emanations Race beings. The two were overjoyed for a second. Jiang Yi had indeed headed towards the Divine Tree; they could now follow the Sword Emanations Race beings’ bodies to track him down.

Along the way, they triggered many Lunar Beasts. After observing Qi Qingchen battling a few waves of Lunar Beasts, Poison Spirit soon learned how to coordinate with her. He did not attack but released a few hundred clones that fled in all directions. As his clones were identical to his real self, he easily lured the Lunar Beasts away.

“Alright!”

Qi Qingchen’s eyes lit up. With Poison Spirit’s help, it became much easier for her to deal with the Lunar Beasts. The two did not linger to battle the Lunar Beasts as they flew southwards at their fastest speeds.

Gong!

A low sound traveled from underground as the duo’s hearts immediately felt pain; it felt as if their soul spirits were under attack. Qi Qingchen’s soul spirit was very strong; she did not suffer much injury. However, it was Poison Spirit’s first time here and now that he had been suddenly attacked, his face instantly became very pale. His heart also sank. This Purgatory Mystic Realm was so terrifying; could Jiang Yi really have survived?

Poison Spirit’s soul spirit was considerably strong; at least it was a few times stronger than Jiang Yi’s. Although the Demonic Repellent started to subtly affect the two of them, they were not in serious trouble in the short-term.

As they continued flying, they kept on finding Sword Emanations Race beings’ bodies along the way. When they grew closer to the Divine Tree, Qi Qingchen’s eyes lit up as well. The last time she and the Wintry Sovereign had gone to the Divine Tree, they had discovered how mystical that Divine Tree was. If Jiang Yi had successfully reached the Divine Tree, his chances of survival would definitely have been much higher.

…

Swish!
