“Demon King, what the hell is this? Why can’t I instant-shift anymore? Why can’t you move either?”

Feeling his body being dragged down quickly, Jiang Yi was in absolute astonishment. This thing could even tie up the Demon King? Was it really the Demon Thearch’s tail? It was just that he didn’t sense any aura of the demonic beast on this black vein.

“Boy, we’re in serious trouble this time. This is the Devil Star Vine!”

The demon king growled sorrowfully as his giant body was deformed by the vein. It didn’t even release its sorcery or move its body. It seemed like it didn’t have any intention to fight back at all.

“Devil Star Vine? What is that?”

Seeing the Yazi Beast’s expression, Jiang Yi was more shocked. Pulsing, the demon king explained sullenly: “This is not one of—but the most terrifying goblin on the Stellarsky Continent. Master was also entangled in it back then. However, at Master’s dying moment, he accidentally comprehended a kind of extremely powerful mid-grade Dao pattern and reached the peak stage of the Heaven Monarch Realm. After that, he injured this Devil Star Vine and escaped.

“It’s just that... Master was attacked by the Devil Star Vines in the East Sea. I didn’t know that there were Devil Star Vines in the West Sea, too! This damn vein should be the toughest thing on this continent. My attack can’t break it at all. At the same time, it can disturb your body’s energy and oscillate the space. Thus, you and I can’t get out. We have to wait for it to devour the essence of our flesh when it gets hungry one day...”

Jiang Yi was completely stunned after listening to Yazi Beast’s explanation. According to the Demon King, even the Demon Empress probably couldn’t do anything to the Devil Star Vines. The Demon Empress had just recently broken through. Back then, the Witch God had attained the peak stage of the Heaven Monarch Realm before he could hurt the Devil Star Vines.

Jiang Yi’s face darkened and asked, “Goblin? What’s a goblin? Does it exist in the East Sea? The sea is indeed dangerous. No wonder that even the Witch God didn’t dare to enter the deep sea.”

The Demon King exhaled heavily and said in a deep voice, “Beasts can absorb the essence of the Heaven and Earth, evolve into powerful demonic beasts, and manifest after that. In this world, there are special plant spirits that can also cultivate. All of these plant spirits are called goblins! The deep sea is indeed full of terror. Master told me that this is a big world... with countless powerful creatures that are beyond our imagination. Even he, with the strength during his peak days, might very likely die if wandering around carelessly—let alone I with my weak strength.”

Err... no wonder the Demon Empress dared not to bring the little fox with her when she left the Stellarsky Continent. It’s because she was afraid that she couldn’t protect Xiao Fei in times of danger.

Jiang Yi let out a deep sigh. He soon realized this wasn’t the moment for emotions. He and the Demon King could die at any time. He should think of ways to solve this crisis now.

His brain was spinning fast, only to realize that there was no solution. If the Fire Spirit Rock was with him, he might still have a chance.

Fire Spirit Rock? Er... why do I have a feeling of déjà vu about the Devil Star Vines? That’s right! The Sea of Death, the female corpse under the sea! Isn’t there also a mysterious black rattan under that ancient coffin? I was entangled by the black vein before, and I was once unable to instant shift and had my essence force disturbed. That rattan was terribly tough, but this Devil Star Vine was much stronger than that black rattan with a terrifying aura.

One thing suddenly occurred to Jiang Yi. When he broke into the Sea of Death by mistake on Starfall Island, he encountered this black vein. In the end, it was Xiaonu who broke the magic vein after her transformation, saving him and He Lao.

Xiaonu! If Xiaonu comes, will she be able to chop off this Devil Star Vine?

A trace of hope rose in Jiang Yi’s mind before he instantly shook his head. She can’t come! Xiaonu mustn’t come! The Devil Star Vines give out an aura that is ten times stronger than that black rattan. Surely, the Devil Star Vines are ten times more powerful. Xiaonu will only rush to her death if she comes here...

Tsk-Tsk!

The Devil Star Vines continued to retreat to the bottom. At this moment, it was already 30 kilometers under the sea. Nobody knew where the Devil Star Vines were going to take him and the Demon King. Perhaps, the Devil Star Vines came from the Netherworld Realm and were going to pull Jiang Yi and the Demon King directly to the hell.

...

“Black veins? Black veins that can trap the Yazi Beast?”

Inside the Clear Sky Pavilion on Starfall Island, Shui Youlan was the first one to receive the news. Though Shui Qianrou detested Jiang Yi, all the guards of the Clear Sky Pavilion knew how highly Shui Youlan thought of Jiang Yi. Thus, without any delay, they sent the message back to Starfall Island using message secret formation.

“Dugu Yan rallied the crowd to attack the Black Wasps?”

After reading the message carefully, Shui Youlan rolled her pretty eyes and sneered. “I’m afraid the Black Wasps were a trick designed by the Martial Arts Hall against Jiang Yi. Dugu Qiu hasn’t returned yet. Why do those two old folks allow Dugu Yan to mess around? Besides, the plan is so comprehensive. It even deceives everyone!”

“Devil Star Vines. This time, it’s really troublesome. It’s up to the one at the Mt. Thirty Thousand. If she can’t find any solution, Jiang Yi has to save himself! Sigh...”

Shui Youlan sighed softly and disappeared in the Clear Sky Pavilion abruptly, leaving a heavy sigh behind her.

“Jiang Yi was entangled by a black vein, together with the Yazi Beast?”

Zhuge Qingyun soon received the message. The Spirit Beast City sent over a vice principal this time. After seeing the Yazi Beast, immediately, he was certain that the man was Jiang Yi. He returned to the Western Peace City and used message secret transformation to pass the information back to Zhuge Qingyun.

“Principal Qi, you preside over the college. I’m going out.”

Only after a short contemplation, Zhuge Qingyun sent a message to the Principal Qi. The Spirit Beast Talisman was lit up in his hand, a giant golden dragon whizzed by. Flinging his sleeves, he launched his wheelchair and steadily landed on the golden dragon. That golden dragon circled in the air before it howled loudly, turning into a golden ray and shooting towards the west.

“Golden dragon? What happened? The Principal is going out?”

The long howl of the golden dragon demon king startled the entire college. Numerous students rushed out of the rooms and gathered around in discussion. Their eyes were full of worry.

“The Supreme Marshal of the Empire is in danger?”

In the Mystic Heaven City, Grandma Silver Flower didn’t hesitate after getting the news. Her body rose to the middle of the air; she flew towards the northeast direction. Her speed was exceedingly fast. A normal person could only see a flash of shadow in the Mystic Heaven City.

“What? Jiang Lang is in trouble?”

At the royal palace in the Summer Rain City—when Su Ruoxue heard the news, a teacup on her hand fell to the ground and shattered into pieces. She was stupefied for a moment before checking the information one more time. Then, she got up determinedly and went to the Drifting Snow Palace.

It was not long before a little fox shot out and left the city from the north—under the protection of two martial experts. She found two demon kings and sprinted towards the Mt. Thirty Thousand as fast as possible.

At the same time, Su Ruoxue led a group of martial experts, rode on aerial spirit beasts, and flew towards the west quickly from the royal palace. The group of officials and generals below them were worried to death.

The king of a kingdom just left without prior notice and caused such commotion. When this was spread, the entire Great Xia Kingdom might be in turmoil.

“Xiaonu, are you sure you can save Jiang Lang?”

The aerial spirited beast was an ordinary white crane which didn’t move so fast. Still, it was better than most of the tier-three spirit beasts. Su Ruoxue’s robe and hair fluttered with a loud noise by the wild wind, but she didn’t care. She stared at Jiang Xiaonu next to her and asked gravely.

“I’m sure!”

Nodding heavily, Jiang Xiaonu looked at the west. Moving her lips slightly, she muttered in a voice that only she herself could hear. “Young Master. Wait for Xiaonu. I’ll get you out even if I have to give up my life...”
