My Fury Will Burn The Heavens Chapter 329 - Spotted

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

The Netherworld Forest was huge.

The entire forest took up around a tenth of the Heaven Mystics Kingdom's territory. It started from the south of Mystic Dark City and extended all the way to the southern part of the continent. This one was one of the three largest forests in the continent, and it was also one of the top ten most dangerous places. It was rumored that the depths of the forest was a forbidden place where Vajra Realm martial experts didn't dare to enter.

The royal capital, Mystic Heaven City, of the Heaven Mystics Kingdom was in the south. If they wanted to return from Summer Rain City, they would have to go through the Netherworld Forest or detour around the forest before going south.

Of course… if it was for safety, they could continue on southwest from Mystic Dark City and turn back south, which would be a much longer trip.

If Yun Lu was going through the Netherworld Forest, Jiang Yi and his group would be able to make arrangements easily. They could hide within the Netherworld Forest and wait for Yun Lu, killing him as he pa.s.sed by. They could then retreat back into the forest and escape effortlessly.

Everything was an uncertainty; there was no use to discuss any further. Jiang Yi and his group just buried their heads and made haste without any rest. Days pa.s.sed by easily for Jiang Yi and Zhan Wushuang as they cultivated along the way, and so time flew by.

Qian w.a.n.guan found it a bitter experience. This Zouwu Beast was traveling in a very stable state, but there were bound to be some b.u.mps. Furthermore, Qian w.a.n.guan was used to the living like a prince, but he could only eat rations when he was hungry and could only hug on the spikes to sleep when he was drowsy. After all these days, Qian w.a.n.guan had lost a few kilograms; but he was rather strong-willed and didn't yell out any complaint.

On the sixth day, they finally arrived at the borders of the two kingdoms. Yun Lu was still on his way while their clansmen were already laying in ambush nearby, getting ready to kill at any moment.

Zhan Wushuang became busy as he sent his mean to scout the entire terrain. He then sent a few expert scouts to check out the situation in the Heaven Mystics Kingdom's territory. Qian w.a.n.guan didn't bother and just went to sleep in a cave.

Jiang Yi's message token would light up every now and then, which gave him full control of Yun Lu's whereabouts, allowing him to deduce which path they were going to take. Just as expected, Yun Lu was headed straight for Mystic Dark City before heading back to Mystic Heaven City.

Three days later, Yun Lu's route was within Jiang Yi and the other's expectation, as they all started to slink into the Netherworld Forest, making arrangements.

Killing Yun Lu and his men weren't a big problem; the problem was the route for the retreat. The Mystic Dark City was one of the main cities in the east of Heaven Mystics Kingdom. It had a few hundred thousand soldiers, and there were at least one thousand Soul Travel Realm experts. The Netherworld Forest was just one thousand miles away from Mystic Dark City. If the army advanced from the city at full speed, it would only take them half a day to arrive at the forest.

The three of them began to travel underground again while the three thousand soldiers vanished quietly into the Heaven Mystics Kingdom. Jiang Yi couldn't see everyone, but if these people were sent to carry out such a dangerous mission, they must be the cream of the crops among the elites. If the two great clans went through meticulous planning, they naturally didn't have to worry about them being noticed by the scouts from the Heaven Mystics Kingdom.

One day later, Jiang Yi and his group arrived at the Netherworld Forest while their army arrived one after another. Zhan Wushuang then started to make arrangements. Jiang Yi couldn't help but view him with admiration, seeing how calmly he dispatched the troops. These Young Clan Heads from the great clans truly extraordinary. They might not have led troops into battle, but their experiences in the military were brilliant. Even if they were to enter the military without relying on their clans, they would quickly blend in and stand out from the rest.

Qian w.a.n.guan was also busy, and so Jiang Yi didn't go bother them. He was only in charge of providing the information and slaughtering the enemies at the final moment.

Su Ruoxue sent over some information, stating that Yun Lu led an army and was headed straight for Mystic Heaven City. If everything went smoothly, they would pa.s.s by in about two days. Zhan Wushuang and his group had already arranged their path for retreat as he asked several Soul Travel Realm experts to dig multiple tunnels. Once they eliminated Yun Lu and his men, they would evacuate through the tunnels.

Even if the army from the Mystic Heaven City was to arrive at their fastest speed, they would still need a few days to track them down. With the capability of the Zhan and Qian Clans, these three thousand elites would have vanished without a trace.

"Alright!"

Jiang Yi was still seated and cultivating. When Zhan Wushuang and Qian w.a.n.guan returned, they were both extremely confident. Zhan Wushuang said, "If everything goes according to plan, the day after tomorrow will be the day of Yun Lu's burial!"

"En!"

Jiang Yi nodded and continued his cultivation. Zhan Wushuang and Qian w.a.n.guan began to rest and replenish their strength for one big push, waiting for the great battle!

On the third day…!

Jiang Yi and the others were up early and had a good meal. They were all hidden by the side of the forest in the bushes, silently waiting for Yun Lu's army to arrive.

"Report! Target is around 100 miles away from here. They will arrive in about six hours…"

"Report! Target is around 30 miles away from here. They will arrive in about two hours…"

Scouts would constantly come to report. Jiang Yi took a quick scan and only saw a thousand individuals in the surroundings. There weren't a lot of experts as well; he couldn't help but ask with bewilderment, "Brother Wushuang, where did your men lay in ambush? Are you sure they wouldn't escape later on?"

Zhan Wushuang let out a faint smile and said, "Don't worry. They laid in ambush everywhere. You don't make a move first. You should only step in if it is absolutely necessary."

"Alright!"

Jiang Yi had it easy as Yun Lu only had two peak-stage Soul Travel Realm experts, and there were only a pitiful number of fifth-stage Soul Travel Realm experts. There was no pressure to him, and if these people weren't able to kill the enemies, it still wouldn't be late for him to step in.

Pong! Pong!

Two hours later, there were tremors that came from the grounds ahead. Several warhorses were galloping over, but they weren't fast and were all scanning around nervously. They were obviously the advance scouting party.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The surface of the ground suddenly burst open, and several black shadows flew out. These people were all wearing stealthy clothes and were all like killer G.o.ds who all at the Soul Travel Realm. Each of them was wielding a heaven artifact, emerging like apparitions from beneath this advance scout party and instantly killing all of them.

Tsk-Tsk!

There were several martial artists who were wearing stealthy clothes that shot out of the forest at the same time. All of them were wielding G.o.d-Exterminating Crossbows and turning those half-alive scouts into hornet's nests. Their movements were clean and crisp with flawless coordination. All the scouts didn't have their guards up, and so none of them could release any signal flares before they died.

Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+

One hundred individuals rushed out from behind Zhan Wushuang and Jiang Yi to clean up the battlefield. Those experts that burst out from within the ground quickly went back into the underground.

In just 15 minutes, all the corpses and warhorse were gone; and the surface of the ground became level again. Even the stench of blood in the air had dissipated as though nothing ever happened. Jiang Yi was dumbfounded by all these actions.

They are here!

One hour later, tremors came from the northeast again. Soon enough, black groups of warhorses appeared in everyone's visions. Jiang Yi and everyone began to tense up and held their breaths while waiting for the opposition to fall into their schemes.

"Stop!"

Suddenly… a Soul Travel Realm expert who was at the front of the army immediately turned the horst around and yelled out, "Turn around! There is an ambus.h.!.+ Send the rescue signal flare immediately!"

The army from the Heaven Mystics Kingdom was shocked, but they all reacted quickly. All of them turned around, and a few signal flares went up into the sky, bursting like fireworks.

Swis.h.!.+

The two peak-stage Soul Travel Realm expert swiftly jumped out from the army and carried the frightened Yun Lu, abandoning the army. They used their fastest speed and rushed towards Mystic Dark City.

"How did they spot us? Is there an individual that has the Astral Body of Wood that could sense through the trees?" Zhan Wushuang suddenly stood up and waved his hand with a burst of yell, "All troops attack! Take down Yun Lu!"

Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+

Countless martial artists immediately emerged from all directions, surrounding and killing the army. There were a few hundred soldiers that were ambushed at where Yun Lu and his two guards were escaping. They desperately rushed out from the ground and surrounded the three of them.

"Leave Yun Lu and the two peak-stage Soul Travel Realm experts to me!"

Jiang Yi stood up as well and his eyes were br.i.m.m.i.n.g with killing aura. He could not allow Yun Lu to go back alive. Otherwise, Yun Fei would be in danger, and everyone's efforts would be in vain. He pulled up his face mask while his body flashed with white light as he utilized the Soul Devouring s.h.i.+fting Art, vanis.h.i.+ng instantly.
