Chapter 4125: Premonition

s. After all, hitting is loving and scolding is caring!""You!"The Snow Clan maiden's pale face now had a flush of color, making her appear more alluring. It was enough to make the bald man's mouth wa...If it weren't for Liu Meng's prior reminder, Jiang Yun might have simply thought the man's appearance here was a coincidence.

But after being caught by himself, the man directly blew himself up and confessed. To be honest, Jiang Yun had encountered countless enemies along his journey, but there were very few who dared to be as straightforward as this man.

Therefore, Ginger Cloud's doubts grew even deeper.

If he really knew I was coming beforehand and deliberately waited here for me, then this hunt, and this fugitive we're going after, would be interesting!

"It's a shame, lacking a head means losing a thousand military achievements!"

"But it's alright, next time I meet a criminal, I'll kill them. I shouldn't feel any guilt!"

Jiang Yun once again released his divine consciousness, spreading it in all directions.

However, when his divine sense had only spread out for just ten miles, a tremendous pressure suddenly appeared, forcefully suppressing his divine sense and preventing it from advancing further.

This made Jiang Yun feel even more strange! Although this was Jiang Yun's first time participating in a hunt, he had also inquired from Liu Meng and learned that during previous hunts, there were no restrictions on criminals or guards.

It's about pitting two equally matched groups of people in a confined area, where they fight to the death.

If it is restricted, then the meaning of the hunt is lost.

But this time, the hunt was different. Each guard who entered here first swallowed a pill that limited their cultivation levels.

Now, even a powerful divine sense like that of Elder Jiang Yun can only extend for ten miles in this world.

This made Ginger Cloud realize that this hunt was becoming increasingly wrong.

"The hunt, was organized by Tiānwàitiān himself. It was meant to hone the strength of the Chain Guard and also provided them with a chance to earn military merit."

In that case, it should lean somewhat towards defense.

Although there have been cases in the history of hunts where the pursued ultimately triumphed, nine times out of ten, the hunt ends with the guards prevailing.

This time, at least in terms of cultivation restrictions, it seems to have favored the criminals.

"If the criminals knew our location beforehand, the guards would be in a very bad situation!"

"But why would they arrange it this way"

The guards who participated in the hunt volunteered, and before it officially started, no one knew which guards would join. This way, the possibility of revenge could be ruled out.

"It's not about revenge, then what is it for"

Maybe, it's just me overthinking things!

Jiang Yun pondered for a moment, but couldn't figure out what was going on. He decided not to dwell on it any longer and randomly chose a direction before his figure shot into the air.

Thankfully, his flight wasn't restricted, but because his divine sense was suppressed, Jiang Yun's flying speed wasn't very fast.

After all, the world is quite large. In a month, finding nearly a hundred criminals without divine insight's assistance would be incredibly difficult, even at top speed. We might easily miss some.

As Jiang Yun flew, he also took in the surroundings.

This desert is also extremely large. Jiang Yun flew for a full hour and still did not see the end.

However, at this moment, Ginger Cloud's brow furrowed slightly.

Because he had seen, ten li away from himself, a white-haired old man suddenly plunged into the desert, and there was no sound.

Although the elder's speed was extremely fast, Jiang Yun only caught a glimpse of him, but it wasn't hard to tell that this elder was also a prisoner.

"Another one buried in the sand. Could it be a coincidence, or did he already know I was coming and deliberately hid himself in the sand waiting for me"

"If it's the latter, then it means either his divine consciousness is unaffected, or he can know my location!"

Jiang Yun was very confident in his own divine sense. His divine sense could only cover ten li, while the divine sense of others could probably only cover one li at most.

If the elder's divine sense were also similarly limited, he would not have been able to perceive his arrival.

The other party happened to be hiding on their own path, which meant it was either unintentional or they knew I was coming beforehand.

After a slight pause, Jiang Yun suddenly changed direction and deliberately slowed his flight speed.

After just a few breaths passed, a cold light appeared in Jiang Yun's eyes.

Because he saw the old man who had previously been hidden in the sand, reappear ten li ahead of him, and then burrow back into the sand.

To this point, Gingercloud could finally confirm that these prisoners were able to know his location.

Even so, they should all know that after entering this world, they will be randomly sent to any location.

The man who had blown himself up earlier was waiting for her there on purpose! Of course, the other party didn't just know her location, but also knew the locations of all the guards from Heavenly Beyond.

The prisoner knows our location, but we know nothing about them. This hunt is a hunt by the prisoner against the guards of Heavenly Realm!

But, how did they know

A flash of light crossed Jiang Yun's eyes as he suddenly remembered the pill he had swallowed before entering this place. "The answer will be revealed soon!"

As the elder appeared, Jiang Yun raised his hand and formed a seal that entered the other's body, sealing their body and cultivation to prevent them from self-destructing again.

The old man's eyes widened, his pupils bloodshot. His aged face was etched with terror as he stared intently at Jiang Yun.

It was obvious that he hadn't expected Jiang Yun to suddenly appear before him.

Jiang Yun didn't waste any words with him. His divine sense had already condensed into a needle, directly piercing the other party's brow and beginning to search their soul.

"Buzz!"

However, just as Jiang Yunshen's divine consciousness entered, before he could even make out the memories in the old man's soul, a buzzing sound, like that of a swarm of bees, reached his ears.

"Ah!"

Immediately after, another scream rang out. The old man's soul vanished without a trace.

Although Jiang Yun had anticipated that the other party's soul might possess protective power, at this moment, the force was completely unyielding against his divine consciousness. Upon detecting his intrusion, it directly destroyed the elder's soul.

"Long…" As Jiang Yun was about to perform the Longevity Art, he suddenly stopped mid-word.

Even if the art of longevity could summon back the soul of an elder, the power within their soul would also return. One would still be unable to search their mind, and might even risk revealing their own mastery over time reversal.

However, this time Jiang Yun finally left the old man's corpse. His divine sense flipped over the corpse and discovered a storage magic artifact, as well as a compass that looked like a mirror, with several points of light flickering on its surface.

"Sure enough, they know our location. These spots must be all the guards of the Heavenly Court."

Jiang Yun swept over the compass, his eyes narrowed slightly. The light points on the compass now stood at a mere fifty-seven.

That is to say, from entering this world until now, in just over half an hour of time, one hundred guards have already died nearly half! "Most of them should have been killed by the criminals who knew their positions beforehand and ambushed them as soon as they arrived in this world!"

These criminals could know our location because of the pills we swallowed, which means that there is collusion between the guards in Heaven Beyond Heaven and these criminals!

Just as Jiang Yun was pondering these questions, somewhere in this world, there stood a stone tablet that soared a thousand zhang high.

A middle-aged man stood on the stone tablet, muttering to himself: "I didn't expect that most of the guards entering this time would have good strength."

"Arranging a hundred-man ambush still let half of them escape."

"Especially one of them, who had actually turned around and killed both of us."

"Interesting, I want to see who this person is!"

As the man's voice fell, a powerful aura suddenly emanated from his body, an aura comparable to that of a royal-rank powerhouse!, he frowned and said, "Feng brother!"For this old man, Jiang Yun didn't know him, but most of the people present did.As is well known, throughout the entire Southern Barbarian land, there is only one...
