Chapter 988: I am Jiang Yi

The valley was huge, and plenty of places were grown with white herbs. These herbs were actually in abundance, but regular people wouldn’t even know the usage for them. No one would go and harvest them.
Jiang Yi had rushed to the vicinity of the valley with his fastest speed. When he was ten miles away from the valley, his body flashed with white light; and his body gradually transformed. He ultimately turned into a giant of the Mammoth Race. He similarly had a horn on his head and was shining with blue light. Of course, his horn couldn’t shoot out any blue light waves, and he could only put on a pretense.
Bang, Bang, Bang!
After he transformed, he rushed to the valley with large steps and jumped onto the tall mountain which was outside the valley and immediately jumped to the peak of the mountain. Subsequently, his eyes locked onto the three ladies in the valley.
“En?”
The three ladies were alerted, but their faces didn’t have any change in expressions. They took an indifferent glance at Jiang Yi and continued to harvest the herbs. Jiang Yi’s large eyes locked onto the three ladies, and he was even more certain that they were from the Heaven Hidden Sect. Even their harvesting motion of the herbs was pure and simple, and it was obvious that they had done these things frequently.
Ladies with such extraordinary aura would be either esteemed young ladies or adored concubines if they were in regular sects. Why would they be harvesting herbs? There was another factor. The trio was all rather formidable: one of them was a high-stage Heaven Monarch while the other two were middle-stage Heaven Monarchs. It was rather commendable to reach such strength at such a young age.
Swish!
Jiang Yi stomped on the mountain peak and leaped up high before landing in the valley with a loud rumble. He then cupped his hands and said, “Are the three fairies the Heaven Hidden Sect’s disciples?”
The trio swept an indifferent look at Jiang Yi again and didn’t have any intention to respond. They continued to harvest the herbs while Jiang Yi anxiously cupped his hands again. “Three fairies, I wish to ask about some things. If three fairies are able to answer me, I will give three ice beasts to the three fairies!”
“Ice beasts?”
The trio looked at each other, and each was a little tempted. That high-stage Heaven Monarch turned around and asked, “Are you serious?”
“Of course!”
Jiang Yi’s ancient divine essence ring lit up, and he tossed over an ice beast corpse and grinned. “This is my deposit. Are the three fairies the Heaven Hidden Sect’s disciples?”
The high-stage Heaven Monarch lady kept the ice beast and replied indifferently, “That is right. We are disciples from the Heaven Hidden Sect. I am a disciple of the Yan family, Yan Ru!”
“It is nice to meet you, Fairy Yan Ru.”
Jiang Yi’s heart was stirred up as he quickly asked politely again, “I wish to know if your Heaven Hidden Sect has recently brought back a lady from the East Imperial Continent?”
Yan Ru and the two other ladies had an immediate change in reaction while Yan Ru spoke solemnly, “We cannot divulge anything about the matters of the sect!”
“Uh...”
Jiang Yi’s heart had sunk, and his large eyes flickered before he asked again, “Okay then, I will not ask about this matter. You just have to tell me where is the Heaven Hidden Sect? I have something I wish to see your eldress for. This matter is very important and is also very important to your Heaven Hidden Sect.”
Yan Ru’s expression got even colder as she immediately threw that ice beast corpse out and said, “We do not want your things. We have no comments on your question. No information about the Heaven Hidden Sect can be divulged. This is the sect rule!”
As she finished speaking, the trio leaped up lightly and flew to the distance. Jiang Yi’s eyes flashed with killing intent and had almost captured the trio to interrogate. However, when he recalled that the Heaven Hidden Sect was the snow region’s no.1 sect, had over a dozen Half God experts, and their Matriarch was an expert that was comparable to the Nine Thearchs, he ultimately held back.
Su Ruoxue was still in the Heaven Hidden Sect. If he had a conflict with the Heaven Hidden Sect, he would have to forcefully take Su Ruoxue if he wanted to rescue her in the future.
Hence, he gritted his teeth and decided to stalk the trio and follow them until he found the Heaven Hidden Sect.
It was obviously unrealistic to be stalking while in the Mammoth Race’s transformation as such a massive body would be easily discovered. Thus, after the trio from the Heaven Hidden Sect had left, he immediately transformed into Mo Xing’s appearance and rushed into the underground and tracked them.
In this snow region, the spatial zone was unique and the divine senses would only be able to extend slightly over ten miles. Jiang Yi’s soul spirit was barely comparable to a high-stage Heaven Monarch, and so that Yan Ru from the Heaven Hidden Sect would only be able to scout slightly more than ten miles. However, Jiang Yi could release his Divine Perception to scout hundreds of miles, allowing him to stalk them easily.
Chi! Chi!
Jiang Yi had been releasing his astral wind blades to dig a tunnel while advancing. The astral wind blades were too sharp, and it was easy to dig with even though the soul was tough as steel. Jiang Yi’s speed had reached his limits as he continued to track.
Jiang Yi would stop and release the Divine Perception every 30 minutes to locate the trio’s position. There were two middle-stage Heaven Monarchs among the trio, and their speed wasn’t too fast. They weren’t running at high speed either, allowing Jiang Yi to keep up effortlessly.
The trio was advancing to the north, and they didn’t stop even during the night but were much slower. After tracking them for one day and night, the three ladies stopped at a small mountain range and started to harvest the white herbs again.
Jiang Yi was around 60 miles away from the trio and didn’t dare to approach while waiting in the underground patiently.
“Eh?”
One hour later, Jiang Yi noticed a large army marching over from a distance, and they had quickly discovered the three Heaven Hidden Sect’s disciples who were harvesting herbs. When that large army spotted the disciples from the Heaven Hidden Sect, they avoided them like venomous snakes and scorpions. They scouted from a distance and immediately retreated and didn’t even dare to approach.
“It seems like the Heaven Hidden Sect is indeed the hegemon of the snow region!”
Jiang Yi was sighing silently with emotions. He didn’t know what race was that army, but they had at least 800 men. They actually didn’t dare to provoke these three ladies. This clearly stated the martial prowess that the Heaven Hidden Sect had in the snow region.
After the three ladies harvested for half a day, they advanced to the north again while Jiang Yi continued to follow from a distance. Along the way, the three ladies would encounter other races from time to time. Without any exception, they would quickly detour from far away when they noticed the three ladies. They didn’t even dare to approach, let alone intercepting them.
It had made it absolutely safe for Jiang Yi to be following the trio from behind, and the trio wasn’t aware that Jiang Yi was tracking them from behind.
One day, three days... six days!
The three ladies walked, stopped, and harvested herbs along the way. They finally stopped outside a mountain peak.
“This is where the Heaven Hidden Sect is?”
Jiang Yi’s Divine Perception examined that mountain peak and didn’t find anything suspicious. When he noticed a few dozens of ladies who all had extraordinary auras, he immediately determined that the Heaven Hidden Sect was in the vicinity.
Swish!
When the three ladies soared into the sky, Jiang Yi didn’t dare to approach and locked onto them from a distance. However, he had nearly vomited blood because... those three ladies rushed up the mountain peak which then lit up with a teleportation array’s radiance before they vanished inside the teleportation array.
The Heaven Hidden Sect wasn’t in the vicinity. If anyone wanted to enter the Heaven Hidden Sect, they had to pass through the teleportation array!
The teleportation array couldn’t be activated by a normal person. Unless the Heaven Hidden Sect’s disciples on the peak of the mountain activated the array, it was impossible for Jiang Yi to make it to the Heaven Hidden Sect. Even if Jiang Yi managed to control dozens of people at the top of the mountain, he would be instantly exposed when he teleported to the Heaven Hidden Sect.
“What should I do?”
Jiang Yi’s eyes looked around, and he hesitated for 15 minutes in the underground tunnel. He finally gritted his teeth and gradually transformed into his original appearance. He then burst out from the ground and headed straight for the top of the mountain.
Once Jiang Yi moved, he immediately alerted the Heaven Hidden Sect’s disciples on the mountain peak. Dozens of people flew out, and a hale and hearty old man yelled out, “This is the Heaven Hidden Sect’s encampment. Outsiders are not allowed to enter. Immediately return, or you will be killed without negotiation!”
Jiang Yi didn’t retreat or stop. His red hair fluttered, and his eyes were like lightning. He stood in midair and yelled with a tone that was neither haughty nor humble. “I am Jiang Yi. I am here to pay my respects to the Heaven Hidden Sect’s Matriarch!”
