617: Chapter 66 Cal_1 617: Chapter 66 Cal_1 The Cal Hump Mountain occupies an extrely vast area and stands as a rare large mountain within the flat terrain of the Central Region.
Nad for its resemblance to the humps of a cal, it has two main peaks, known as the East Cal Hump and West Cal Hump.
When cultivators speak of their speed of travel, they do not refer to their utmost speed, but rather, the fastest speed they can achieve without affecting their combat capabilities.
Given that they are in a transcendent world, no one knows where danger might co from.
Unless the situation is urgent, no one would speed up at the expense of their battle power.
Moreover, in the territories of so major powers, flying too hastily without any restraint is often seen as a provocation.
One would require prior permission to pass unimpeded, having their energy signature recorded by that power.
Jiang Wang maintained approximately ninety percent of his travel speed while flying swiftly.
Ever since he beca aware of Hai Zongming’s murderous intent, he had kept up this pace during the day, while at night he would still stop to cultivate, maintaining a very stable and regular schedule.
This was to preserve his usual pace of progress, to avoid arousing Hai Zongming’s suspicions and to make it easier for Hai Zongming to track his movents.
Entering the Cal Hump Mountain signified that Hai Zongming might strike at any mont.
Every half incense stick’s ti Jiang Wang spent traveling, he would stop to use the Red Mirror to reflect upon the environnt within a fifty-mile radius, primarily focusing on the eastern surroundings, of course.
As for Xiang Qian, he had already entered the West Cal Hump in advance and was busy setting up the Sword Array.
As one of the inheritors of the supre legacy in the era of flying swords, known as the Three Ultimate Swordsn, his ans were only more nurous than Jiang Wang’s.
Once Jiang Wang detected Hai Zongming’s presence here, he would imdiately rush to the West Cal Hump to lure Hai Zongming into the Sword Array.
The sky grew dark.
Jiang Wang found a stone on the mountain to rest.
This spot wasn’t chosen at random; the east side was shielded by rocks and trees, making it not easy to be spotted at first glance.
However, when he used the Red Mirror to observe his surroundings, he didn’t have to worry about limited visibility.
He was about to pass beyond the East Cal Hump, yet Hai Zongming’s trace was still nowhere to be seen.
If Jiang Wang passed the West Cal Hump, leaving the spot where Xiang Qian had set the trap, he would give up on this attempt.
He would decisively spend a large sum to enlist Hell Has No Door to make a move.
The Central Region was densely populated with many powers scattered everywhere.
Moving forward, it would be difficult to find an environnt as spacious as the Cal Hump Mountain for an ambush, where unexpected events could easily occur.
Each night spent traveling was Jiang Wang’s fixed ti for cultivation.
However, now that he had entered the boundaries of the Cal Hump Mountain, Jiang Wang of course didn’t have the luxury to continue cultivating; instead, he simply sat there and carelessly laid out a cluster of vine snakes around the wall, enveloping the Red Mirror, before entering the Mirror World to observe his environnt.
This was a quite monotonous task; it was possible that there wouldn’t be any changes in the fifty-mile zone throughout the entire night.
But exactly every minor stir of wind or rustle of grass required his careful observation, as overlooking anything might an missing important signs.
If Hai Zongming caught him off guard, all of his arrangents would be in vain.
Jiang Wang steeled his heart, keeping vigilant of everything reflected within the Red Mirror’s limits.
He concentrated fully, not allowing his mind to wander for a mont.
He wouldn’t permit any carelessness on his part.
It was probably around the fourth watch of the night when a figure flashed by within the range of the Red Mirror.
Hai Zongming had arrived!
Jiang Wang instantly leaped out from the Red Mirror, without the slightest hesitation.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, the sounds of explosions resounded as he imdiately transford into a blazing teor, fleeing towards the west.
At that mont, the bright moon hung high, and the fiery teor streaked across the sky.
It was indeed a fine ti for killing!
After Hai Zongming learned of Jiang Wang’s departure from Qi Boundary, he imdiately realized that this was a rare opportunity.
A genius without the protection of Qi Country, while outside its borders, was just a genius.
Even the most talented individuals required ti to grow.
And if he missed this chance, the likelihood of regaining the Red Mirror would beco increasingly slim.
Therefore, he decisively announced he was going into seclusion but actually quietly left Crescent Island.
Of course, he didn’t know that no sooner had he left Crescent Island than this information was “leaked.”
The world is vast, and few people knew where Jiang Wang had gone, but for Hai Zongming, this wasn’t a problem.
He was tracking Jiang Wang with the help of a secret treasure, known as the Qi-Pointing Compass.
This “qi” is not air, but the vital essence within one’s spirit.
It is indispensable and unavoidable for everyone.
By quietly collecting a bit of Jiang Wangsheng’s “qi” from the places he has lived, one could easily track him down.
Linzi might be a bit troubleso, but for Hai Zongming, Green Sheep Town was practically defenseless.
Following the trail with the Compass of Directional Qi, Jiang Wang’s pace was quite normal, traveling by day and resting by night, seemingly oblivious to Hai Zongming’s approach—of course, this was to be expected.
If not for the clue in that ancient to, he wouldn’t believe he was on the hunt for the murderer who killed Hu Shaong.
Who could anticipate a move that not even he had foreseen?
In this pursuit, he traveled day and night without rest, finally nearing his target.
The Compass of Directional Qi indicated that Jiang Wang was within the Cal’s Hump Mountain.
Understandably, Hai Zongming knew that Jiang Wang possessed Divine Skills from God’s Inner Mansion, even aware that his Divine Skill was the Samadhi True Fire.
But this did nothing to dampen his confidence.
It is said that a Transcendent with access to God’s Inner Mansion could rival an ordinary cultivator from the Outer Building, yet there was still a gap between them.
And while Jiang Wang had opened just one Inner Mansion, Hai Zongming had established four levels!
Hai Zongming, having waged war at sea his entire life, was not the type of cultivator who enjoyed a life of ease with empty cultivation.
Why shouldn’t he be able to capture Jiang Wang?
When he discovered Jiang Wang transford into a blazing teor, he was not alard but delighted.
Though uncertain how Jiang Wang had detected his approach, it fit the profile of a so-called prodigy, didn’t it?
Jiang Wang’s decisive escape suggested he lacked the confidence to confront a powerhouse from the Outer Building.
With his thoughts racing, Hai Zongming’s movents were just as swift.
In the night sky, brilliant points of light erged in the east, south, west, and north, with the vast starlight cascading down.
He had directly connected with the Four Holy Buildings!
Even when a hawk strikes a rabbit, it uses all its strength.
Hai Zongming, though firmly believing he could easily kill Jiang Wang, still would not be careless and give his opponent a chance.
What does fifty li an to a cultivator at the peak of the Outer Building?
When Jiang Wang spotted Hai Zongming, he was still fifty li away.
By the ti Jiang Wang turned into a blazing teor and swooped down near the Western Cal’s Hump, Hai Zongming’s towering figure was already in sight!
In the blink of an eye!
The starlight of the Four Holy Buildings augnted his body, and at the earliest opportunity, he brandished his Magic Artifact.
A faint dragon’s roar echoed in the sky, a divine dragon’s phantom flashed by, and had already caught up with the fleeing blaze of the fiery teor.
Hai Zongming’s most powerful Magic Artifact, the Body-Binding Chain!
With a touch, one is bound; even gods and demons struggle to escape!
Just as the Body-Binding Chain was about to capture its target, Jiang Wang leaped out from the state of a fiery teor.
In the void, a pitch-black chain suddenly erged, colliding with the Body-Binding Chain in a coincidence of both timing and urgency.
The Body-Binding Chain!
One of the ten famous chains of the Legalists, it could naturally rival the Body-Binding Chain if fully mastered.
However, Jiang Wang was only a beginner and thus, the Body-Binding Chain, designed specifically to bind, was imdiately entangled.
But because of this, the Body-Binding Chain also lost Jiang Wang.
This was exactly the contingency that Jiang Wang had planned for in advance.
At the sa ti, his body dropped from the sky as if weightless, falling directly through the high altitude.
As Jiang Wang descended, the sound of sword cries arose.
This was the Western Cal’s Hump.
The blazing teor represented his fastest speed and was also a warning to Xiang Qian!
