Chapter 1356: Ghost Noise Cave

As a matter of fact, Jiang Yi’s decision was the right one!

Luo Shui had consecutively sent three men to their deaths; these three men had barely bought them any time. When the three kept their distance, Luo Fu and company ignored them completely and continued their advance towards the Dense Fog Forest. When the trio finally could not resist it and attacked, Luo Fu personally retaliated and slaughtered the three.

There was a small and skinny elder next to Luo Fu who had almost turned entirely white. His pair of small eyes observed the battle ahead, and after the trio had been killed, he said, “No matter what happens along the way, do not bother. Head straight to the Dense Fog Forest. They have no other choice but to head into the Dense Fog Forest to increase their odds at survival.

“En, all will be according to second uncle’s orders!”

Luo Fu nodded as he gestured and brought everyone as quick as he could and flew forward. Luo Fu had respected and revered his second uncle since young. If it was not for this second uncle, the Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan would long have perished. His second uncle was vicious and ruthless while also smart beyond measure. His experiences and astuteness were known throughout the Divine Eagle City. Under ordinary circumstances, he would not make a mistake.

Luo Shui did not dare to send any more men to stall them but followed Luo Qingyan’s arrangements, asking one of his men to navigate the Divine Boat while the others fled in all directions. This was to increase the difficulty for Luo Fu and company in finding Luo Qingyan and Jiang Yi.

Swish!

Within fifteen minutes, the group had caught up with the Divine Boat while ahead of the Divine Boat was a huge forest that was covered with fog. Luo Fu laughed coldly as he gestured, “Still want to flee? All are to pay attention and not kill that lad!”

The Divine Boat had activated its strongest restrictions. Even Luo Fu’s divine senses could not reach the inside of the Divine Boat; no one knew who was inside. The group flew forward as fast as they could. When Luo Fu was only five thousand kilometers away, a strange imprint appeared on his hands as he roared, “Buddha’s Palm!”

Buzz!

A huge palm appeared above the Divine Boat; it was a thousand feet wide. It furiously grabbed on to the Divine Boat, and the Divine Boat actually couldn’t move anymore. It shimmered and shook incessantly as if trying to escape from the palm.

Bang!

At long last, the Divine Boat was able to escape from the palm, and the latter disintegrated. However, the Divine Boat had been delayed by a few seconds. Luo Fu and company were extremely fast. Within that few seconds, they had already flown ten thousand feet ahead of the Divine Boat.

“Break!”

A huge white battle-ax appeared in Luo Fu’s hand as he slashed a semicircle in front of him. The spatial zone near him rippled as the battle-ax transformed into an arc of white light and smashed into the Divine Boat.

Bang!

The restrictions on the Divine Boat lit up so brightly that everyone averted their eyes for a second. However, it instantly went dark again as a loud explosive sound could be heard. The Divine Boat had been spliced into half; with its restrictions destroyed, it had become just a normal block of wood and had been blown into pieces by the powerful attack. As the Divine Boat was destroyed, a shadow appeared in mid-air.

“Eh?”

Thirty-one sets of divine senses swept forward, and everyone was bewildered. There was only one God King within the Divine Boat; there were no signs of Jiang Yi or Luo Qingyan.

Could it be that the two had been placed inside a spatial divine item that the God King was carrying? However, Luo Fu’s Buddha’s Palm attack had shaken the spatial zone so violently; if it was any normal spatial divine item, anyone hidden inside would have long been shaken out.

Luo Fu’s second uncle Luo Qi’s small eyes shone as he said mockingly, “Sacrificing one for all? Passing off the sham as the genuine? This is quite clever!”

Tsk! Tsk!

A few Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan God Kings had already taken action. Another peak-stage God King had also immediately released his soul spirit attack to prevent the Earth Emanations Pavilion Luo Clan God King from self-imploding and the latter was instantly taken captive.

Luo Fu ordered his man to seal the captured God King’s dantian as he asked coldly, “You should know me and my methods. If you do not wish to suffer, tell me where that small Heaven God and Luo Qingyan had fled to!”

“They had gone to that side!”

The God King pointed at the direction where Jiang Yi and company had fled to as everyone turned to look in that direction. Luo Fu’s second uncle Luo Qi was the first to react next as he cried out, “No good! He is going to commit suicide!”

It was a pity.

Everyone’s reaction was too late. The God King’s soul spirit broke apart as his entire body shivered, and he bled from his seven apertures and died. Luo Fu and Luo Qi exchanged glances of helplessness. Luo Fu then asked, “Second uncle, what should we do now?”

“There is no choice!”

Luo Qi shook his head slightly, sighed, and said, “There are still six to seven of them. If I am correct, they must have split up. If we split up as well, we have a seventy percent chance of finding Luo Qingyan and Jiang Yi. However, the Earth Emanations Pavilion Luo Clan’s Sixth Elder and the others are just behind us. It is also possible we would be picked off one by one if we split up and end up being annihilated! So… if Clan Head believes me, we should head directly into the Dense Fog Forest. Then, we will watch the stump and wait for a hare!”

“Watch the stump and wait for a hare?”

Luo Fu’s eyebrows knotted as he said hesitantly, “What if they had not entered the Dense Fog Forest but had actually sneakily made their way back to the Blue Lion Tribe? Our efforts till now would have been for naught; seventeen of our clansmen would have died for nothing.”

Luo Qi sighed helplessly and replied, “There is no choice. We can only make this gamble. Clan Head, you have to decide for yourself.”

“Then, let’s gamble!”

Luo Fu chose to believe in Luo Qi. Luo Qi had been very accurate all his life; anything that he deduced had an eighty to ninety percent chance of coming true. The Earth Emanations Pavilion Luo Clan Sixth Elder and others were just behind and could catch up with them anytime. If they split up now, they could probably all end up dead. They could only wager that Jiang Yi and company had not escaped but had found a detour into the Dense Fog Forest.

“Go, let’s enter the Dense Fog Forest. Ten men to a team, split up!”

The thirty-one people formed into three teams as they shot straight into the Dense Fog Forest. Under Luo Qi’s directions, they headed to three different places.

These three locations were where Luo Qi believed that if Jiang Yi and company entered the Dense Fog Forest, they would go and hide themselves in. These three places were the safest ones. Hence, they were going to head to these locations first and lay in wait to ambush Jiang Yi and company.

…

Swish!

To the southwest of the Dense Fog Forest, Jiang Xiaonu brought Jiang Yi along as they flew crazily, with Luo Qingyan in front scouting the way. Jiang Yi’s speed was too slow without the China Root Elixir while Jiang Xiaonu’s speed was much faster. After she had reached the Heaven God level, her speed was almost comparable to the mid-tier God General Luo Qingyan’s. Hence, with Jiang Xiaonu bringing Jiang Yi along, their speed was much faster.

Jiang Yi had wanted to place Jiang Xiaonu inside his Chaos Essence Pearl where the Black Deity currently was. However, Jiang Xiaonu would die rather than obey that request. She had had enough of the days of worrying and being afraid. She resolved to never be separated from Jiang Yi ever again. Jiang Yi did not have a choice and allowed her to bring him along to fly.

“We have to enter fifty thousand kilometers deep inside the Dense Fog Forest; only there would we be safe!”

After entering the Dense Fog Forest, Luo Qingyan had retrieved a map and pointed at a specific location, saying, “After we enter the Dense Fog Forest, there will be many wood-element Chaos Beasts. Although their attacking abilities should be weaker than Chaos Beasts of other elements, they are adept at sneak attacks. Furthermore, once they have been mobilized and someone has been trapped, that person would encounter a combined onslaught of Chaos Beasts attacks.

“These are the three safest places in the forest. The place we are headed to is called the Ghost Noise Cave. There is a strange Ghost Noise that prevents Chaos Beasts from getting close. If you consume the Rootless Water, you would probably be able to withstand the Ghost Noise!”

“Alright, let’s go there!”

Jiang Yi nodded. This Ghost Noise should be similar to the Divine Sound Heaven Skill, right? If it was a soul spirit attack, his Divine Sound Heaven Skill combined with the Rootless Water should be more than enough to deal with it. Jiang Xiaonu was also almost completely immune to soul spirit attacks. As long as they could reach this place, all of them would be safe for the time being. As for the next step, they could discuss that once they have reached the Ghost Noise Cave. As they enter the Dense Fog Forest, there would be danger around them all the time.

Luo Qingyan was very smart. Unfortunately, they were up against an even smarter old man this time. They did not know that Luo Fu’s men had probably already reached the Ghost Noise Cave and were waiting for them to show up.
