Fury Towards The Burning Heaven

Chapter 1320: Art of Concealment

Jiang Yi changed back into an old man’s appearance as he left the pavilion and returned to the south city. He changed his looks a few more times and finally back into the Black Deity’s appearance before heading back to his pavilion.

There were many spies around his pavilion. Jiang Yi did not know if the Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan’s men had known he had left. He was not afraid of the news of him going to Luo Qingyan’s pavilion being leaked. Luo Qingyan was so smart; she would definitely have made arrangements to not have any loose ends.

After returning to the pavilion, the Black Deity was waiting anxiously. Seeing Jiang Yi enter, the Black Deity finally relaxed. He did not know what had happened, but seeing Jiang Yi’s unusual movements today, the Black Deity had realized that something was wrong.

“It’s nothing; go back to your cultivation!”

Jiang Yi did not want to explain. The Black Deity went back to his room silently while Jiang Yi went to the main hall and sat there silently for an hour. He replayed what had happened in his head a few times. He then changed back into his original look and walked out brazenly towards the Demon-Killing Pavilion.

“Jiang Yi, what’s wrong?”

He Wei had been waiting in the Demon-Killing Pavilion. Jiang Yi chose to hide the situation from He Wei as he smiled faintly and said, “Everything is fine. I spoke the truth to her, and she did not make things difficult for me. Did you tell the truth to Commander Liu’s grandnephew?”

“No, I didn’t.” He Wei shook his head as he then raised his thumb and said, “You are impressive. You actually managed to come up with a fake manual and fooled everyone. Brother Liu is still sulking at the moment.”

“It was nothing. Let’s not tell him the truth about this matter, then.”

Jiang Yi smiled bitterly and shook his head. He then asked seriously, “What does a demonic beast need to break through to become a Demon God? What is required?”

He most probably might not make it back alive this time, and he wanted to leave the Black Deity something for coming up to the Higher Domain along with him. He Wei thought about it and said very earnestly, “This is simple. The heaven and earth spirit energy here in the Higher Domain can easily transform demonic beasts into a Demon God. You only have to go to the Mystical Abilities Pavilion to purchase any demon race cultivation techniques. Your demonic beast is already about to break through. As long as he cultivates any cultivation technique for a while, he should be able to break through.”

“Many thanks! I will go and take a look. Brother He, I will not hold you back from your business.”

Jiang Yi cupped his hands as He Wei nodded and left. Jiang Yi suddenly shouted, “Brother He, you are my only friend in the Higher Domain for now and forever!”

“Hahaha!”

He Wei laughed out loud as he gestured and left. Before he left, he said, “Lad, don’t say something like this. I do not like men...”

“Keke!”

Jiang Yi looked as He Wei left and he murmured, “He Wei, if I do not die this time and make it big one day, I will not forget your kindness.”

Jiang Yi turned and entered the Mystical Abilities Pavilion. He spent two thousand divine roots to purchase a demon race cultivation secret manual for the Black Deity. He had looked at the secret manual and knew that the Black Deity should be able to break through to become a Demon God. At that time, he would really be changed into a human and would be able to have a better life in the Higher Domain.

After that, Jiang Yi walked to one of the floors inside the Mystical Abilities Pavilion and picked out an aged yellowish book that contained a mystical ability secret technique.

This secret technique was called the ‘Art of Concealment’. It was a very special mystical ability that could hide oneself. It enabled one to become like a chameleon and blend in with the surroundings. As long as one did not move, he would be able to conceal himself within ten minutes. People without strong soul spirits would not be able to detect him at all.

The stronger the soul spirit of the user of this mystical ability, the more powerful it was. After Jiang Yi had obtained the ‘Rootless Water’ from Luo Qingyan, he had immediately thought of this mystical ability secret art. The Rootless Water could elevate his soul spirit for a short time. Combined with this ‘Art of Concealment’, that would be the most viable way to flee. If Jiang Yi could realize this Art of Concealment, his chances of survival would be greatly increased.

The Art of Concealment required three thousand battle merits or six thousand divine roots. Jiang Yi did not even blink as he produced six thousand divine roots to buy this mystical ability. Although divine roots were important—if Jiang Yi lost even his life, he had no use holding on to so many divine roots. He was very generous when it came to things like this.

After buying the Art of Concealment, Jiang Yi went to the Sundry Goods Hall and bought an assortment of items. For example, deadly poisons and a special rock called a Thunderbolt Rock. This rock was refined by the most powerful artisans and contained complicated restrictions and divine formations; it contained an immense amount of power. If one was struck by it, even a God General-level martial artist would be severely wounded.

Luo Qingyan had given Jiang Yi ten thousand divine roots while he originally had more than a thousand of them. This time, Jiang Yi almost spent all of them. He only kept a thousand for any emergencies. He bought a total of five Thunderbolt Rocks and five portions of the deadly poison Yellow Scorpion Powder.

After settling all these, Jiang Yi went to the Mission Office. As expected, Sister Mei was there; and after seeing Jiang Yi, she actually smiled. She then sent a voice transmission: “Lad, you are not bad. Someone actually named you for a mission? It is also a top-class assignment for the Heaven-God-level with ten thousand battle merits! However... I will advise you to not take this mission. I feel that it is a trap; it will lead you to your death.”

“Keke!”

Luo Qingyan had taken action swiftly. Jiang Yi stretched out a hand and said, “Give me the mission, please.”

Sister Mei retrieved a scroll. Jiang Yi looked at it and laughed. This mission was too simple. He was to head to the Demon Fire Mountain to retrieve a hundred portions of a spirit herb called red primrose. It contained information about this spirit herb. Jiang Yi had seen this spirit herb multiple times north of the Jiyang Tribe. This spirit herb was very common; it was probably not that useful.

This mission was so peculiar; even a blind person would know that something fishy was up. However, Jiang Yi thought about it for a while and then relaxed. This mission was above board; the Demon-Killing Pavilion had no reason to reject it.

“Something’s not right...”

Jiang Yi suddenly thought of a problem. What if he did not go to the location in the Demon Fire Mountain that Luo Qingyan had indicated but actually went to pick some red primrose and sneaked back to the Divine Eagle Tribe? He would be able to get ten thousand battle merits easily, right? Wouldn’t Luo Qingyan be afraid that he would not honor his word?

Nevertheless!

Jiang Yi decided to take on the mission. The scroll had indicated that this mission had to be accomplished within five days. As to how Jiang Yi was going to be able to reach Demon Fire Mountain in five days? Jiang Yi was not worried at all. Luo Qingyan must have already made the necessary arrangements.

“Little man!”

Sister Mei saw that Jiang Yi was about to inject his heavenly powers into the scroll to indicate his acceptance of the mission, sighed, and said, “Are you really going to risk your life? I know you want to be promoted to a Demon-Killing Battle General; you actually do not need to use your life to fight for it. As long as you are together with me and accompany me, I will do my best to help you.”

“Haha!”

Jiang Yi laughed out loud as he injected his heavenly powers into the scroll. It lit up, and the mission officially began. Jiang Yi shrugged his shoulders and said, “My apologies. My life has always been cheap; I cannot stand being a freeloader. Sister Mei, you should find someone else.”

After speaking, Jiang Yi tossed the scroll into his ring as he turned and left, taking huge and determined steps. His back was extremely straight as if a ferocious warrior about to make his final stand.

“Fool!”

Seeing Jiang Yi leave, the pity in Sister Mei’s eyes retreated and was replaced by coldness. Sister Mei murmured to herself and said, “You still think you are smart? Ten thousand battle merits are indeed tempting; however, you will not live to reclaim them. It is unfortunate I had not had the chance to torture you, and you will be dead soon. Hehe, Luo Ting is the Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan’s young clan head. Once he dies, Luo Fu would be furious beyond measure.

“At that time, he will definitely find fault with the Demon-Killing Pavilion; the Demon-Killing Pavilion will have no choice but to ally with the Earth Emanations Pavilion Luo Clan. Lady Qingyan is indeed formidable. Hmph, the Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan is finished this time. The Divine Eagle City will no longer be run by the Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan, but the Earth Emanations Pavilion Luo Clan!”
