Chapter 881: Three Ways
Why did Jiang Yi turn into a young man, ask people to stop the teleportation, and not allow them to look at him?
This incident surprised all the guards, but no one dared to ask. Even though they were suspicious, nobody dared to behave abnormally. After all, they were in the same team as Jiang Yi. Once something bad happened to him, they had to bear the consequences together. Of course, most importantly—they were very grateful to Jiang Yi. Without him, it was very difficult for them to reach the Heaven State Region.
Tantai Shi asked Song Zhong to find a big inn and arranged the guards to stay in the guest rooms in the front. Tantai Shi, Jiang Yi, and a few maidservants stayed in a courtyard on the back.
Once they entered the courtyard, Tantai Shi ordered the maidservants to go to the rooms with the kids. Looking at Jiang Yi, she suddenly a voice transmission: “My Lord, don’t worry about them. They are my soul slaves and will never reveal your secret.”
“Reveal my secret?”
Jiang Yi squinted his eyes, stared at Tantai Shi, and didn’t say a word. The latter blushed in shame and grew uneasy by his glare. After a while, Jiang Yi walked to a room and said in a deep voice at the doorstep, “Come in.”
Tantai Shi let out a look of shyness. She swiftly straightened her clothes and entered the room nervously. Jiang Yi sat on the bed, waved his hands, and ordered. “Turn on the restrictions.”
“Understood...”
Tantai Shi replied quietly and shot her essence force onto the mechanism of the door, which closed slowly. Jiang Yi looked around and found no chair in the room. He pointed at the bed and said, “Sit down.”
“Uh...”
Tantai Shi’s face was redder. She walked slowly and gracefully to the bedside and sat down with half of her butt on the bed. She lowered her head and didn’t say anything. She was a bit short of breath.
Jiang Yi saw Tantai Shi’s reaction and knew that she misunderstood him. He rolled his eyes and said, “My Lady, I think you misunderstand me. I’m not afraid of you telling my secret. The reason that I changed my appearance is that I once killed a Young Master of a small clan on the East Imperial Continent. Young Master went to my continent and did a lot of bad things. I come to the East Imperial Continent this time to destroy this small clan. I changed my appearance as I don’t want to alert them and let them escape.”
“En, en.”
Tantai Shi replied in disappointment. She thought she had discovered a big secret. She paused and asked curiously. “My Lord, which region is your enemy in?”
A chill look flickered across Jiang Yi’s eyes. Tantai Shi trembled and quickly apologized. “I am asking too many questions. I won’t do it again.”
“Why did this Teleportation Array annul my appearance altering art?”
The cold look faded from Jiang Yi’s eyes. He was rather happy with Tantai Shi’s sensitivity. He asked in a frown. “I consider this skill very advanced. This won’t happen in any ordinary Teleportation Array.”
“The Teleportation Array on the East Imperial Continent is not ordinary!”
Tantai Shi explained. “The Teleportation Arrays here were secretly rebuilt 200,000 years ago, to prevent the Sin Island’s spies from sneaking in. About 200,000 years ago, a mysterious martial expert sneaked into the East Imperial Continent before slaughtering the Young Masters of the Nine Thearch Clans along his way. This man had a mighty skill that changed his appearance. There was no way to track him down. At that time, at least hundreds of talented Young Masters died in the hands of that mysterious martial expert. It was a heavy loss.
“Since then, the Nine Thearch Clans ordered to rebuild the Teleportation Arrays across the East Imperial Continent. There are some special restrictions in the Teleportation Arrays, which canceled the effect of all appearance altering arts. With the Teleportation Arrays, the bandits are less rampant. After all, many bandit leaders are wanted; their portraits and information are all over the city.”
“So that’s how it is!”
Jiang Yi realized the reasons behind and was secretly glad. Fortunately, he was not teleported to any major city. The small city that he was at right now definitely didn’t have his information and portraits. He also changed his soul spirit aura immediately. Tantai Shi covered for him as well. Otherwise, he might expose his identity this time.
I will never take the Teleportation Array in the future. Otherwise, I don’t know how I die!
Jiang Yi made up his mind. If his identity was revealed and if some powerful clans laid a trap in the city right away—by the time he arrived at the destination, he would be killed instantly, without the chance to leave via Heaven Evasion.
If we don’t take the Teleportation Array, am I really going to fly to the Buddha Thearch City?
Jiang Yi was secretly vexed. Safety aside, it would at least take years to fly there. A few years on the road? It was simply unacceptable to him.
Besides, the Mt. Mystic Divine would change after five years, and everyone could climb up the mountain. He had to be the first to enter the Mystic Divine Palace when the Mt. Mystic Divine changes so that he would have the opportunity to get the Mystic Divine Palace.
The Mystic Divine Palace was the no.1 cardinal treasure in the Stellarsky Domain. Obtaining the Mystic Divine Palace was equivalent to getting the heritage of the Mystic Thearch. He might also attain the legendary Mystic Divine Saber and Mystic Divine Armor. If he wished to overturn the Martial Arts Hall, he had to get the Mystic Divine Palace.
“Actually, My Lord, you don’t need to worry.”
When Tantai Shi saw Jiang Yi silent, she smiled slightly and said, “My Lord, your enemy is just a small clan, which is definitely not capable of issuing wanted posters. Only the Nine Thearch Clans and Region Lords can send out wanted posters. Ordinary small clans can’t bother the Region Lords and the Nine Thearch Clans. Just now, the troops in the city didn’t get suspicious, which means that you are not wanted. Thus, it should be fine for you to take the teleportation array.”
“What do you know?!”
Jiang Yi almost said the dirty words. Small cities didn’t have his wanted notices, but all the big clans definitely had his portraits. He turned his eyes and said, “No, this Young Master killed all my family. I have to wipe out his whole clan. Thus, I don’t want any leaks. We are not going to take the Teleportation Array. Is there any other option to speed up the journey?”
“Yes!”
Tantai Shi nodded and said, “In fact, the Teleportation Array is too expensive. On the continent, other than the Clan Heads and Elders of big clans, even ordinary Young Masters don’t use the Teleportation Array unless they have the command tokens of the Nine Thearchs or the Region Lords. Normal people have three ways.”
Jiang Yi eyes brightened up before replying heavily, “Speak!”
“Firstly, we can fly to the place, but it is quite slow and very dangerous...”
Tantai Shi’s first sentence was rubbish. Jiang Yi almost gave her a slap across the face. Tantai Shi saw Jiang Yi’s darkened face and quickly said, “Secondly, take the big merchant association’s Heaven Fate Ship. For example, all the Nine Thearch Clans have super big Heaven Fate Ships. It is completely safe, and the speed is comparable to the peak-stage Heaven Monarch.”
Jiang Yi nodded slightly. A peak-stage Heaven Monarch was really fast. It would probably take one year, at most, to reach the Buddha Thearch City.
Unfortunately, Tantai Shi’s following words made Jiang Yi dismiss this option. “My Lord, to get on the Nine Thearch Clans’ Heaven Fate Ship, we will be teleported, too. This Teleportation Array is the same as that in the city and is meant to prevent spies from sneaking in. Since my Lord doesn’t want to take the Teleportation Array, then the Nine Thearch Clans’ Heaven Fate Ship is certainly out of option.”
“Of course!”
Tantai Shi paused and continued. “There are too many profit-driven big merchant associations on the East Imperial Continent, such as the Tang Clan, the builders of the Heaven State Region. They don’t care about the spies; their concerns are making celestial stones. Therefore, we can take the Tang Clan’s Heaven Fate Ship to the Heaven State Region. However, it is rather expensive. To get the Heaven State Region, one person should cost about 100 million celestial stones.”
“100 million?”
Jiang Yi shrank his eyes. There were over 60 people including Song Zhong and his group. Would he have to spend over six billion?”
As Tantai Shi saw Jiang Yi’s awful look again, she quickly explained. “If my Lord wants to take the Tang Clan’s Heaven Fate Ship, you can leave Song Zhong and his group out. You just need to bring Xiao Yu, Xiao Tian, and me. When I go back to my clan, I will return the 300 million celestial stones to you.”
