the qi and blood within his body churned restlessly. Jiang Yun's eyes narrowed slightly, a glimmer in them that was unreadable to others.Although Jiang Yun had raised the cultivation level of this de...Originally, Ginger Cloud had thought that this Old Song would directly cast some divine ability, hiding his body and taking him to the entrance of the restricted area in the Heavenly Outside Heaven. Then he would throw Ginger Cloud into the restricted area.

But unexpectedly, Old Song actually brought himself directly to the teleportation array leading from the inner city to the outer city.

This made Jiang Yun realize that the other party seemed to be preparing to take him to the entrance of the forbidden zone without any disguise

When Jiang Yun stepped out of the teleportation array, two guards from the Heavenly Realm immediately walked over.

Although they didn't know Ginger Cloud and Old Song, they at least knew that the two were from the Inner City, so they respectfully asked, "May I ask where the two of you are headed"

Ginger Cloud remained silent, and neither did Old Song speak. He only glanced calmly at the two men, and immediately the two guards obediently retreated to the side.

Lao Song's footsteps never stopped, continuing towards the Martial Arts Hall.

Ginger Cloud narrowed his eyes slightly, glancing at the two guards whose expressions held a hint of confusion, yet they seemed to have already turned a blind eye to him and his companion.

Looking at Old Song's back, it naturally became clear that this Old Song was likely a powerful expert in illusion magic.

Just now, his glance, seemingly ordinary, actually caused these two guards to fall into a momentary illusion.

Even with Song Lao's prowess comparable to that of a renowned emperor, even if someone later searched the souls of those two guards, they would probably find nothing.

This also made Jiang Yun have to secretly admire, it is really bold of an artist!

Elder Song himself is powerful, and he has the backing of Emperor Xuan, so he acts without any scruples.

If this were me, even if I had Old Song's abilities, I definitely wouldn't dare do something like this.

As expected, Old Song's voice rang beside Jiang Yun, "Don't just stand there, hurry up and leave!"

"You don't need to worry, with my abilities, unless the Emperor of Punishment himself arrives, he would be able to detect any clues. Otherwise, even Leng Yichen wouldn't notice anything unusual."

"While the Emperor of Punishment is likely meeting with the Emperor of Xuan right now, he has no time to attend to other matters beyond Heaven's Gate."

Jiang Yun let out an "oh" from her mouth, but in her heart she was very clear. Old Song's words were said deliberately for her to hear.

The purpose of this is to let himself know, how much effort the Emperor Xu had put in, and what price he had paid in order to allow him to return safely to Heavenly Outside Heaven. Even going as far as personally stopping the Emperor Xing.

Next, Old Song swaggered with Jiang Yun, heading straight for the entrance of the forbidden zone.

Although they encountered over a dozen guards in succession, including several at the presidential level, all of them were ignored by Song Lao's gaze as if they didn't exist.

Quickly, the two arrived at the front of the Military Armaments Hall, at the entrance to the forbidden area.

The entrance is a swirling vortex.

Even now, it still retains the appearance Gingercloud had when it first entered, silently suspended there.

Jiang Yun remembered, this entrance was opened by a talisman personally crafted by the emperor.

This also made him think, did the valuable space talismans that Emperor Xuan had previously told him about, all come from that same Great Emperor

At this point, Old Song spoke again: "Alright, Your Majesty can only help you this much. What comes next depends on you."

Remember not to disappoint the Emperor!

Jiang Yun nodded, bowed to Lao Song, and without hesitation, stepped into the vortex. He found himself on a wide road.

Jiang Yun's divine sense swept over the surroundings. After confirming that there was no one nearby, he immediately changed his appearance to that of Fan Xiao, and let out a long sigh.

So far, so good.

Just by fabricating eight years' worth of memories within the forbidden land, one could then return to the heavens beyond.

Even if Mozhe is still in charge of my return, I wouldn't even have to fabricate memories!

Back then, Mo Ze sent two people to kill Jiang Yun. Jiang Yun still can't figure out the reason behind it to this day, but this is undoubtedly a good bargaining chip that can be used to blackmail Mo Ze.

Jiang Yun didn't rush to return to Heavenly Outside Heaven immediately.

Although Song Lao was very confident in his own abilities, the fact that Fan Xiao, who had been silent for seven or eight years, suddenly appeared just as Xuan Di and they entered the Heavenly Outer Heaven was still a bit too coincidental.

After all, it wasn't just Emperor Xuan who came this time, but also Emperor Xing.

If the Emperor personally became curious about him and wanted to see for himself what had happened during his seven or eight years in seclusion, then even if he had fabricated his memories perfectly, they could still be exposed as false.

Therefore, Ginger Cloud decided to wait a while longer, until after the banquet at Heaven Within had started before quietly returning.

In any case, avoid contact with Emperor Xing as much as possible.

Ginger Cloud turned his gaze to the depths of the forbidden land, his eyes narrowed slightly. He recalled the scene from not long ago when he had almost been killed by the Emperor.

I wonder how Senior Gu is doing now!

After a brief pause, Jiang Yun's figure vanished from where he stood, heading towards Wuning Cliff, the place where he and Gu San had made an agreement years ago.

He naturally knew that the current Wuning Cliff certainly had nothing, but he was doing nothing anyway, so he might as well spend some time here in this forbidden land.

And he didn't want to run too far in this forbidden land. In case he encountered Gu, he wouldn't be able to kill him, nor would he be able to spare him. So he might as well go back and take a look at Wuning Cliff again.

Soon, Jiang Yun arrived at Wuning Cliff. As expected, there was no one around.

Jiang Yun casually found a place to sit cross-legged and muttered to himself, "Since the Emperor couldn't kill me, he must be unwilling."

"As long as I'm alive, he'll be tormented, unable to rest, and will definitely keep looking for opportunities to kill me."

He himself was inconvenient to leave the forbidden area, and people like Su Qianchen and Gu Bingyan were not necessarily able to kill me.

So, if he wants to find someone to kill me, he can only find...

When he said this, a chill flashed across Jiang Yun’s eyes as he stated: “It’s not good. My incarnation as Fan Xiao—others may not know about it, but Elder Gu San does.”

"If the Emperor had concocted a reason to lure Elder Gu San into it, then he very likely already knew about my incarnation as Fan Xiao and my infiltration of Tianwai Tian."

"Then, if he truly wanted to have someone kill me, the most suitable candidate would naturally be... Yan Tianqi."

Yan Tianqi, as the leader of the Nine Heavenly Generals of Tianwai Tian and a renowned hunter of antiquities, secretly colluded with an ancient emperor.

Originally, Ginger Cloud saw the scene where the Emperor's confidant met Yan Tianqi right under this Wuning Cliff.

And now, combining his own deductions, Jiang Yun became increasingly aware that his guess was very likely true.

If the Emperor only knew that Fan Xiao was Jiang Yun, he would certainly have Yan Tianqi kill himself.

As someone of Yan Tianqi's stature, killing a mere guard would be as easy as turning his hand over.

Now things are really getting complicated!

Jiang Yun frowned and said, "That Yan Tianqi should also be a quasi-emperor. If he wants to attack me, I'm really not his opponent!"

And I can't reveal his collusion with the Emperor.

"Because aside from my memory, I have no other evidence."

"And this matter is of great importance, involving ancient emperors. If I were to truly report it, Emperor Xing would definitely intervene personally."

When the time comes, under my soul-searching, I will even offer myself up.

Ginger Cloud had no idea that his guess was coming true at this very moment!

Yan Tianqi, dressed as a Confucian scholar, was about to attend the Heavenly Banquet when his figure suddenly flickered and he appeared in a secret room.

The four walls of the room, along with the ceiling and floor, were covered in intricate runes.

Standing here, Yan Tianqi finally took out a communication jade slip. After opening it, there were only ten words inside: "At all costs, kill Fan Xiao!"e the Imperial Cave is not by chance."Jiang Yun's divine sense continued to spread throughout the jungle, even penetrating into the earth. As he watched, he muttered to himself, "The Imperial Cave is...
