“No way out?”

Jiang Yi’s heart shook. This was the worst news he could receive. If there was no way out, he would not be able to see Su Ruoxue, Feng Luan, Mo Yao’er, Jiang Yunhai, and the rest; this was unacceptable to him.

Furthermore, it was possible the situation outside could change at any time. Since the North Thearch was the mastermind, his designs were clear: he wanted to rule over the entire Stellarsky Domain, to become the next Mystic Thearch that ruled through the ages.

Since he wanted to unite the Stellarsky Domain, the demon race had to be exterminated while the Snow Region had to submit. Ao Lu would have to die while the Saint Empress would be in danger as well. Su Ruoxue and company would have nowhere to flee.

The North Thearch had already known that Jiang Yi had entered and that the Buddha Thearch and Jiang Yi could not leave this place; the North Thearch would definitely make his move. He could already have made it.

Jiang Yi’s eyes became cold as his gaze turned towards Wu Que’er again and said, “Why is there no way out? Could it be that no one here had left before? If that is so, how did your family gain control of this place? How did you manage to build your message transmitting secret formation? How could the Buddha Thearch and company’s weapons have been sent out?”

Wu Que’er was being controlled by Mei Ru and did not dare to lie or go against any of Jiang Yi’s wishes.

She explained seriously, “This spatial zone has a mysterious heaven formation; once one entered, one could not leave. That heaven formation is also the reason behind the thick concentration of heaven and earth essence energy here. Regarding the message transmitting secret formation, I do not know; it was the Saint Priest that had created it. The heaven formation in this mystic realm causes the spatial zone here to be exceptionally stable. The Saint Priest thought of many ways and finally decided on creating a Teleportation Formation; however, it can only send out some weapons, treasures, and spirit herbs. No human can be teleported outside; not even bodies.”

“The previous time the Wu Clan sent a transmission, the instructions were to kill the Buddha Thearch and company and send their bodies out. However, after trying a few times, we could not teleport them out. Hence, we could only send their weapons out. We actually wanted to kill them. However, the clan sent another message after that to keep them alive in case we had need of them...”

Wu Que’er explained everything. Jiang Yi sighed deeply as he forced himself to calm down. Although he had control over Wu Que’er, that did not mean he had control over the entire Death God Continent. He could not rest on his laurels for even a moment and also could not lose his reasoning abilities. He had to calm down, really calm down.

Jiang Yi thought for a moment and inquired, “Who is the Saint Priest? Is he from the Wu Clan as well? Also, is the Saint Emperor here one of you guys? How strong are the Saint Priest and Saint Emperor? How many people from your clan are there here?”

“Even I do not know who the Saint Priest is!”

Wu Que’er shook her head and said, “He is very secretive; he is also the main decision-maker on this continent. The Saint Emperor is not one of us, but he is very obedient to the Saint Priest. As for the Saint Priest’s strength... it is unfathomably strong. At least on the Death God Continent, he is unrivaled. Outsiders that came here would have limitations to their strengths and abilities; that was how the Buddha Thearch and company were captured by the Saint Emperor. They are now being held in the Saint Emperor City.

“En... they have all been poisoned and are unable to circulate their essence force. Three from my clan are here. We are all priests and priestesses. Together with my third brother and sixth sister, the three of us had arrived here more than a year ago.”

Jiang Yi became silent as he digested all the information. Wu Que’er suddenly thought of something and asked, “Right, my Lord. Didn’t you come in with many others? Where are they?”

“What’s wrong?” Jiang Yi glanced over. He explained, “Some are in the Mystic Divine Palace while others are hiding in a mountain.”

“Sh*t...”

Wu Que’er became anxious as she said, “They might be in danger. I had come on an inspection of the Undying Tribe precisely to ask the Chieftain to send troops to search the surroundings and find you guys. If the Undying Tribe managed to find them and if the Chieftain himself attacks, there would be trouble. The Chieftain is immensely strong; it would take at least an eight-star martial artist to fight him.”

If the Buddha Emperor and others died and if Jiang Yi received the news, Wu Que’er would definitely incur his wrath. Hence, she did not dare to hide this from him. If not, once Jiang Yi was angered, she would be in real danger.

“Damn! Why didn’t you say earlier?!”

Jiang Yi glared at her as he yelled, “Send me out and immediately order for everyone to depart.”

Wu Que’er hurriedly sent Jiang Yi out. Everything outside had long been taken care of. Many people were looking enviously at Jiang Yi; to be able to be in the same room as the priestess was a blessing and honor.

Jiang Yi acted fearful and skittish as he went back to Chui Ye’s side. The next instant, Wu Que’er had appeared and, with a wave of her hand, ordered, “Depart now. We will return to the Undying Tribe.”

“Ah?”

Many of the savages thought they had heard wrongly. They had finally managed to fight back the demonic dragon king; they were heading back now? However, no one dared to defy the priestess’ orders. Everyone immediately left and headed towards the Undying Tribe.

It was easier to descend than ascend!

Within one hour, almost the entire convoy had descended the mountain. Jiang Yi, Chui Ye, and company continued to take the rear. The dozens of men near him were all under Mei Ru’s control. Jiang Yi did not even need to say much as he closed his eyes and sat cross-legged on his tiger. He was trying to analyze all the information he had received.

He had gained much from speaking with Wu Que’er.

First, there was no doubt the North Thearch was the mastermind. Whether the Heaven Nether Sect had a part in this or not, this still had to be verified either with the Saint Priest or other Wu Clan Demigods once they got out of this mystic realm. The Saint Priest was very strong; Jiang Yi, the Buddha Emperor, and the others combined were definitely not going to be his match. Furthermore, Wu Que’er said that it was impossible to leave this place. Hence, these things could be figured out later on.

Second, the Buddha Thearch and company were being held in Saint Emperor City. With Wu Que’er helping along the way, it should not be too difficult to rescue them!

The problem was—what was going to happen after that?

If there was no way to leave this mystic realm—even if they managed to save the captives, all of them would still be hunted and killed by the Saint Priest and the Saint Emperor. There was another problem: they had to go to Saint Emperor City if they wanted to save the prisoners. Wu Que’er would definitely meet with her siblings from the Wu Clan when she comes back and could possibly be summoned for an audience with the Saint Priest or the Saint Emperor. If her bewitchment was seen through by the Saint Priest and others, Jiang Yi would not only have failed in saving the Buddha Thearch and company, but would have also signed his own death sentence as well.

This godforsaken place was also unusually stable. Jiang Yi and company’s attack and movement speeds were severely restricted. On the other hand—as the natives here have been living here for long, they had become exceptionally strong, with their defensive abilities shocking.

Although he had subdued Wu Que’er, Jiang Yi felt even more vexed at this time. After thinking for a while, he decided not to think so much for now. He would rescue the Buddha Emperor and company first and then inform them of the situation so that they could all think of something together.

...

It had taken them seven to eight days to reach this mountain. Hence, although the convoy’s speed had increased, the journey was still going to take five to six days. After all, they were traveling such a long distance while wild beasts were harassing them along the way constantly as well. Although Jiang Yi grew anxious, he couldn’t think of any reason or dared to go and chat with the priestess like this. Once suspicion was raised, he would probably be killed the moment he entered Saint Emperor City.

While Jiang Yi and company were moving speedily, something major had happened outside once again on the East Imperial Continent. The North Thearch, Sword Thearch, and Beast Thearch had finally returned with their men!

Even while they were on their way back, all the great family clan heads and the sovereigns of continents big and small had all teleported to North Thearch City to wait for their return. There were three nine-star formidable martial artists on the continent; there was only the North Thearch left now. Everyone was hoping that the North Thearch would make a clarion call and unite everyone on the East Imperial Continent once again to form yet another alliance army, to combine their brains and brawns to tide over this calamity.

Facing the danger of extermination, the human race had never been more united. Every great family clan of repute had sent their envoys, and everyone was waiting quietly inside the North Thearch City. The North Emperor and Wu Ni had personally received them and had settled everyone down.

While Jiang Yi was halfway back to the Undying Tribe, the North Thearch, Beast Thearch, and Sword Thearch brought a group of Demigods and teleported back to the North Thearch City.

That night, the North Thearch gathered all the great family clan heads in the city plaza of the Wu Castle. The huge city plaza was packed with tens of thousands of people. The Sword Thearch then announced something that caused an uproar—it was indeed Ao Lu and Jiang Yi who had killed the Battle Thearch; they had gotten iron-clad evidence!
