“Plant Spirit? Damn it!”

Jiang Yi cursed out. This ancient sorcery was too troublesome, and he coordinated with Yun Fei in the Ghost Woods to kill plenty of enemies. The trees in the Ghost Woods were very special though, whereas the trees here could be sliced apart effortlessly. The enemy could make use of the trees to hinder with anyone in pursuit and quickly escape!

At this moment, he finally understood why this secret guard didn’t bring Yun Lu and try to break out of the entrapment towards Mystic Dark City. He came to the Netherworld Forest instead. He has the Art of Plant Spirit, and this Netherworld Forest was the best place for him to escape to.

“Wushuang, you handle the people around here and retreat immediately! Leave Yun Lu to me!”

Jiang Yi yelled out and vanished as he constantly instant shift to give chase. With experts from two clans in pursuit, and the enemy was carrying another person, meaning that the target’s speed would be affected. Jiang Yi still had a chance to catch up to the two of them and use his Massacre Intent to envelop the two of them, giving them no chance to escape.

“Alright!”

Zhan Wushuang nodded. The two clans sent seven Soul Travel Realm experts who were above the eighth stage. If they were still unable to kill Yun Lu, then it would really be heaven’s will. He was at wit’s end and could only settle the matters here.

…

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Jiang Yi instant shifted again and again, and after shifting for more than a few dozen times, he had shifted more than a few hundred miles but still couldn’t see any shadows? Along the way, he was able to hear the subtle and continuously yells from the two clans’ martial artists. They were obviously giving Jiang Yi some direction.

“Goddammit!”

Jiang Yi shifted for another dozen or so times and started to see some tier-two demonic beasts. He followed the voices along the way and was already dizzy from all the chasing. He didn’t know which direction he should go anymore.

It was apparent that he was already near the deepest parts of the Netherworld Forest. As one of the top ten most dangerous places on the continent and also one of the three largest forests, there were definitely tier-three demonic beasts, even tier-four demon kings. If they were to encounter a demon king, then everyone would be done for, which included Jiang Yi who wouldn’t be able to escape even if he had the Soul-Devouring Shifting Art.

Pong! Pong! Pong!

After pursuing another few hundred miles, Jiang Yi could finally hear the clear sound of explosions and also the yells of the two experts. Jiang Yi used the black essence force to enhance his vision, which allowed him to see through the fuzzy trees, where he saw flashes of essence force attacks.

“Hu Hu!”

Jiang Yi let out a breath of relief as he was about to catch up to Yun Lu. As long as he could get near, this battle would be over. After instant shifting for so many times, he felt mentally strained, which was the severe exhaustion of his soul spirit energy. He was glad that he was about to be freed from his worries.

Swish! Swish!

Soon enough, after shifting for another seven or eight times, he finally caught up with the experts from the two clans, giving a shock to four eighth-stage Soul Travel Realm experts who he overtook.

“Young Master Yi? Great, you finally arrived! Quick! Yun Lu is just ahead!”

“Quickly, Young Master Yi. Right ahead is the forbidden ground of the Netherworld Forest. No one has ever come out from the forbidden ground, and there might be a demon king in the nearby vicinity. We have already encountered a tier-three peak-grade demonic beast earlier!”

“That’s right. Young Master Yi, it is all on you now. The enemy has ancient sorcery, and we are unable to catch up to him!”

When the four of them saw that it was Jiang Yi, they were ecstatic as they quickly called out. Jiang Yi’s expression turned dark. He had heard about the forbidden ground in the Netherworld Forest which was one of the top ten most dangerous places. He didn’t expect it to actually be real?

He didn’t dare to stop over even though he was mentally fatigued. He had no choice but to endure his exhaustion and continued shifting forward while the four Soul Travel Realm experts gritted their teeth and continued to pursue.

Pong! Pong!

The battle at the front was very intense. Three peak-stage Soul Travel Realm experts were split into three as they constantly attack Yun Lu who was carried by Lu Lao.

This Lu Lao was one of the consecrators for the Heaven Mystics Kingdom’s royal clan. He was specially assigned by the King to protect Yun Lu, which obviously showed his high regards for Yun Lu. If it wasn’t for Lu Lao, Yun Lu would have died more than a thousand times.

Lu Lao was very old which was similar to Zhuge Qingyun. His face was wrinkled like dried-up tree bark, but he was very powerful. Especially his Sorcery Art of Plant Spirit, allowing him to control the big trees behind him and moving them towards the three peak-stage Soul Travel Realm experts. The trees would constantly release vines to obstruct the three of them and stopped the other four from giving pursuit.

The pursuers would constantly shoot out essence force, which Lu Lao had to constantly dodge. Lu Lao would release his sorcery to disrupt the advancement of these three pursuers. Hence, both sides were not in a deadlock where Lu Lao was unable to shake off the pursuers, and they were unable to catch up to Lu Lao.

Of course!

When Jiang Yi caught up the situation immediately reversed!

“Young Master Yi!”

One of the peak-stage Soul Travel Realm experts who just managed to slice up the vines suddenly saw a figure appearing in front of him. He was instinctively shocked while was quickly followed by ecstatic feelings.

“Young Master Yi is here!”

The peak stage Soul Travel Realm experts on the other two sides were also ecstatic. They immediately shot out two essence force attacks, which was a finger force and a saber light which both drew across other air with lightning speed, aiming at Lu Lao in the distance.

“Yun Lu!”

Jiang Yi didn’t bother about the experts from the two clans and locked his eyes onto Yun Lu and Lu Lao who was more than three kilometers away. His mouth revealed a chilling intent as he sneered. “Are you guys still able to escape?”

Buzz!

His body flashed with white light as he shifted again!

“Jiang Yi?”

“Jiang Yi!”

When Lu Lao and Yun Lu heard Jiang Yi’s roar, they quickly looked over and saw Jiang Yi vanished in place, causing their faces to change instantly. Yun Lu’s eyes were filled with fear as Jiang Yi’s Massacre Intent and the Soul-Devouring Shifting Art was famed in the world. Once they were enveloped by his Massacre Intent, Lu Lao and he wouldn’t be able to escape anymore!

“Jiang Yi, you dare kill me! Even the Demon Empress will not be able to protect you when my kingdom’s army razes Summer Rain City to the ground!”

Yun Lu was yelling out hysterically, but before he could finish his sentence, he was suddenly thrown by Lu Lao into the distance. Lu Lao’s message immediately echoed in his ear: “Your Highness, this forbidden ground is set up by one of the Yun Clan’s ancestors from Heaven Mystics Kingdom. Your body flows with the blood of the Yun Clan, and you will have an opportunity for life in the forbidden ground. You might even have the chance to obtain an inheritance from the ancestor! Go quickly!”

Yun Lu immediately realized and understood why Lu Lao would escape into this place; Lu Lao had already planned this out. His overall strength had barely reached the first stage of Soul Travel Realm after exhausting plenty of precious materials. Once he landed, he immediately sprinted forward.

“Die! All those who want to deal with the people of the Witch God Clan shall die!”

After Lu Lao sent the message, he immediately roared out violently. His body was radiating green light, and his entire body was enveloped by it. The light was so blinding that no one could open their eyes while looking at him. A formidable aura presence was emitted from his body, which caused Jiang Yi and the three pursuing Soul Travel Real experts to felt a shudder in their hearts.

“Young Master Yi, run quickly! This is a very terrifying ancient sorcery! He is going to burn up his own sorcery and die along with us!”

One of the peak-stage Soul Travel Realm expert’s body shook and exclaimed after he took a glance. His reaction time was too late because all the trees and branches which were illuminated by the green light were growing in a frenzy. All the plants extended towards them with lightning speed while glowing with green light, like a giant python trying to engulf the three of them and Jiang Yi.

At the same time, the weeds on the ground also grew in a frenzy while countless vines and roots broke out from the soil. In just a split moment, it surrounded the entire space, forming a cage, and this cage was rapidly shrinking.
