Chapter 4059: Hatred to the Bone

region, he was truly oblivious before. Now, hearing Ye Zhiqiu's explanation, he finally had a general idea in mind.Of course, he also understood the purpose behind Ye Zhiqiu's words to him. It was not..."Greetings, seniors!"

At the same time, Xing Lingjing, who had been sitting atop the mountain for ten days, suddenly beamed with joy, exclaimed in surprise, and with a flick of her wrist, a talisman appeared in her hand.

The paper rustled like it was alive, moving without wind. A sword-shaped rune glowed faintly on its surface.

Looking at the talisman, Qi Sicheng's eyes flashed with cold light. His powerful divine sense immediately enveloped the surroundings, and his palm suddenly rose, pressing down towards the void below.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, a ripple almost imperceptible to the naked eye arose from within the city of Dongli, surging upwards until it reached ten thousand feet.

If someone could see this ripple, they would discover that this sky-piercing ripple is distinctly a gigantic pagoda.

Then, this pagoda, at lightning speed, expanded outwards in all directions.

In the blink of an eye, the pagoda had completely enveloped the entire Dongli City and continued to spread wildly beyond its walls.

Dongli City, as a strategically important transportation hub, sees a constant flow of cultivators coming and going at all times.

At this moment, the situation is no exception. Many cultivators are heading towards Dongli City from all around.

And that intangible pagoda swept past these cultivators, yet none of them could perceive it.

Jiāngyún, who was tens of thousands of zhang away from Dōnglì City, stopped his figure because of a strange sense of danger that arose in his heart. He frowned and looked around.

Although his eyes and divine sense coverage revealed nothing amiss, Jiang Yun had never doubted his intuition.

Therefore, he knew that in places he hadn't discovered, there must be some danger waiting for him.

As for the source of danger, the first person that came to his mind was Emperor Xing! Besides Emperor Xing, no one else in the Four Realms knew about his arrival.

In fact, Ginger Cloud had also thought about whether Emperor Xing would be waiting for her near the Mirage Clan.

But in his thoughts, Emperor Xing was of such high status, that even if he were bored out of his mind, he wouldn't have the time to personally wait for him.

It has already been half a month since I left the Mirage Clan, and this Dongli City does not belong to the Mirage Clan's territory either.

Now, he has changed his appearance again and even his aura is different. So even though Jiang Yun thought of the Emperor Xing, he still didn't think it was him.

But Jiang Yun didn't have time to think about who was waiting for him. All he wanted to know was where the danger came from! Jiang Yun raised his hand, and his finger plunged fiercely into his brow, drawing a line of blood. From within, a golden figure shot out and charged forward.

Just as the golden figure dashed out, a mere few thousand zhang away, Jiang Yun's eyes caught sight of an enormous, illusory pagoda rapidly expanding before him. It was drawing closer and closer.

"What is this!"

Jiang Yun was a well-traveled person, but he had never seen such a pagoda before. He couldn't even see the top of it.

Although he didn't know the origin of this pagoda, he knew he absolutely couldn't be enveloped by it. This made his eyes flash, and his figure instantly moved towards the rear at lightning speed, vanishing without a trace, melting into the void.

"In that direction!"

At the same time that Jiang Yun's figure retreated, Xing Ling in his hand shot the talisman paper towards Jiang Yun.

And he himself, closely following behind the slip of paper, chased after it.

"This kid is too sensitive and his reactions are extremely fast. He actually discovered our ambush and broke through space to escape!"

Qi Sicheng stood up. Although his divine sense couldn't see Jiang Yun's figure, he could feel the spatial distortion from that direction, so it was natural to deduce that it was Jiang Yun.

A flicker of hesitation crossed Qi Sicheng's cold face before he, too, took a step forward and followed Xing Lingjing, chasing after him.

Ginger Cloud has already pushed his physical technique and the power of Emptying to their limits, rapidly fleeing through space without even looking back.

In the blink of an eye, he had escaped tens of thousands of miles away, truly fleeing beyond the reach of the pagoda's coverage.

However, he couldn't shake the talisman that clung to him like a shadow.

Following the paper, Jiang Yun naturally saw Xing Lingjing and Qi Sicheng.

A Celestial Venerable, a royal-ranked powerhouse... I've never seen anyone like this before. It's probably someone sent by the Emperor of Execution.

That talisman paper, I don't know what kind of magic treasure it is, but it can't be shaken off. It clearly tracks my breath and even recognizes me as Jiang Yun. I must find a way to destroy it!

Jiang Yun quickly and accurately assessed the current situation.

Then, a spark suddenly ignited in his hand, which he flung towards the talisman behind him.

"Whoosh!"

The successful ignition of the Mars paper sparked a flame, which burned brightly.

Xinglingjing, who trailed far behind the burning paper talismans, saw this scene and instead of panicking, a sinister smile spread across his face. "You think burning the paper talismans will let you escape"

"Clang!"

After the talisman paper burned to ash, the sword-shaped rune on it remained unscathed. It detached from the paper and transformed into a real sword, emitting a clear and sharp ringing sound.

Above the sword, a palm-sized old man appeared. His face was ferocious, and his eyes were filled with intense hatred as he stared straight at Jiang Yun! The sword beneath him sped up even faster, stabbing directly towards Jiang Yun! Seeing the appearance of the old man, Qi Sicheng, who had always been at the end, was slightly startled. He sent a voice transmission to Xing Lingjing: "Noble Clan Elder, you really hate Jiang Yun to your bone!"

He even left a divine consciousness on the talisman paper to deal with him.

Xingling nodded, "The clan elder loved Xing Yi and Xing Ning very much, so he always wanted to avenge them personally."

Jiang Yun also heard the sound of the sword cry, and saw standing on the blade was an old man whose divine sense should belong to a king-level powerhouse.

Especially after seeing clearly the shape of the rune sword, Jiang Yun suddenly understood who was chasing him.

"Star Clan!"

This rune-inscribed sword is exactly the same as the Imperial artifact that Jiang Yun had snatched from Xing Yi. So it turns out that the Star Clan had set an ambush here, hunting him down. This was truly beyond Jiang Yun's expectations.

"

A Heavenly King-ranked expert had this sword attack me.

"

"If I use the Nine-Nine Return to One Technique, I should be able to shake the sword away, but I don't know if that divine consciousness old man only has one attack left, or if he still has some strength remaining."

Besides, even if the divine consciousness and Runeblade were destroyed, there are still two pursuers. Therefore, the Nine-Nine Return to One technique should not be used lightly.

Although he knew the identity of his pursuers, Jiang Yun was outnumbered and outmatched. His mind raced, desperately trying to figure out how he could escape this predicament.

"Got it!"

A spark flashed in Jiang Yun's eyes as he thought of a plan.

His divine sense swept across the surroundings, discovering that deep within the ground not far ahead there were many hollowed-out caves.

But the next moment, he suddenly quickened his pace and charged toward the earth ahead.

As his body was about to touch the ground, Ginger Cloud waved his hand, and the ground immediately split open, creating a fissure.

After Jiang Yun slid inside, the fissure instantly healed.

Above the blade, the Elder of the Xing Clan looked down at Jiang Yun who was entering the underground, and sneered: "You don't really think you can rely on these underground caves to consume my power and escape my pursuit, do you!"

"Bang!"

As soon as his voice fell, the elder had also activated the sword beneath him, plunging it fiercely into the ground.

But he couldn't integrate with the earth like Gingercloud, relying purely on strength to pierce it.

Xing Ling quickly followed, without hesitation, also entering the underground.

But Qi Sicheng's figure suddenly stopped, staring at the large hole pierced by the rune sword, and muttered to himself: "He not only devoured Qi Sifen's fire realm, but also practiced earth power..." As he spoke, Qi Sicheng couldn't help touching his brow.

Above his brow, there was a mark shaped like soil, flashing past!alk!"Although these powerful individuals remained aloof, events unfolded in a way that truly validated the Emperor of Punishment's words.This battle, initiated by the Emperor's Tomb, was a war that ev...
