Chapter 4157: The Emperor's Trusted Aide

the stone demon from before.With a single blow, Jiang Yun's figure instantly returned to its original position, back above the cloud of mist.However, he didn't look at the astonished demons of Myriad...Gu San's inexplicable actions left Jiang Yun completely baffled.

However, he also understood that something major must have happened to make the emperor suddenly so cautious.

Therefore, he didn't even dare to send a message, and stood quietly in this ancient space opened up by the Three Realms, motionless.

As for the two guards who were going to kill Jiang Yun, they had already completely passed out.

And Gu San didn't open his mouth to explain anything to Jiang Yun, he just stared intently in one direction, his lips tightly pursed. Although there was no expression on his face, Jiang Yun could still sense that deep within his eyes, there was a hint of doubt.

Just like that, after about an hour had passed, the air in the direction Gu San was looking suddenly twisted and warped. A figure emerged from within it.

This was a chubby old man, with kind eyes and brows, no trace of energy emanating from his entire being.

However, as the old man appeared, Jiang Yun could faintly feel a divine sense emanating from him, even sweeping across this temporary space that had been opened up.

And seeing this old man, Gu San's pupils shrank suddenly, the trace of doubt deep in his eyes instantly transformed into a wave of anger.

Jiang Yun naturally also saw an elder. Although he didn't know the man at all, through Gu San's reaction, he could easily guess that Gu San knew him.

That is to say, the other party was not a guardian from beyond the heavens, but an ancient descendant!

Furthermore, the other party's divine consciousness could allow themselves in other spaces to faintly perceive it, which was enough to demonstrate the strength of the other party. Even if they were not an emperor, they would be a quasi-emperor or a royal level figure.

Just as the consciousness of that stout old man swept past, a figure suddenly appeared before him.

Even seeing this person, Rao Shi Ginger Cloud was even more composed, he couldn't help but widen his eyes suddenly, and a look of horror appeared on his face.

Especially after this figure appeared, he bowed respectfully to the plump old man with his fists clasped.

Because, the figure that appeared was... Yan Tianqi!

The leader of the Nine Great Heavenly Generals from Heaven Beyond Heaven, the legendary Hunter of Ancients, would appear here and display such a respectful demeanor towards an ancient cultivator.

As for the stout old man, he faced Yan Tianqi's bow with no expression on his face. He merely nodded slightly in response.

Then, the stout old man crushed a piece of formation stone, and before the two of them appeared a teleportation array.

Two people stepped into the teleportation array one after another. As the light flared, they vanished without a trace, their whereabouts unknown.

Although the two of them had disappeared, both Jiang Yun and Gu San remained silent. None of them spoke a word.

Obviously, both of them were stunned by what they had just seen.

After a long while, Gu San finally let out a breath and said hatefully: "That fat man just now was the emperor's confidant!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yun was taken aback at first, but then he understood. The astonishment on his face became even more intense!

The Emperor's confidant and Yan Tianqi, the leader of the Heavenly Generals from the heavens beyond, were not only meeting privately within this Wuning Cliff.

Moreover, Yan Tianqi showed himself submissive and subservient before the Emperor's trusted confidants, assuming a posture of inferiority.

This allowed Ginger Cloud's mind to already conjure an unbelievable thought.

"Yan Tianqi, either he's an ancient person, or he was bought by the ancients to do their bidding."

"So, every time he came to the forbidden zone to hunt for antiquities, he was actually meeting secretly with the Emperor."

Following this train of thought, Jiang Yun continued to delve deeper, his eyes gleaming with newfound brilliance.

Even, the military merits he obtained, the ancient people he killed, it is highly probable that they were deliberately allowed him to kill by the Sovereign Emperor!

Thinking of this, Jiang Yun suddenly turned his head to look at Gu San beside him. His face was ashen, and a raging fire burned in his eyes.

If my guess is right, then weren't the ancients that the Emperor allowed Yan Tianqi to kill, perhaps from Shifu's lineage!

Although Gingercloud desperately hoped her guess was wrong, it was the only explanation that could account for Gus's rage.

Indeed, Gu San spoke again: "That Yan Tianqi is a Heavenly General from Tiangwai Tian. You should have heard of him."

Although I don't care about hunting antiques or matters concerning the Four Realms, I have heard of Yan Tianqi's name and deeds.

"Because, I've always been curious. This Yan Tianqi, he's not even a true emperor. How can he run rampant in my ancient territory, as if it were uninhabited"

> Every time he entered the forbidden area, he was able to return unharmed.

"Especially once he entered the Forbidden Heavenly City, not only did he go on a killing spree, but after killing the city lord Gu Qi, he was able to leave alive in the end!"

"Gu Qi is also a royal-level powerhouse, about to step into the Quasi-Emperor realm, and is the most hopeful one to become an Emperor."

Their lineage boasts exceptional talents, even earning praise from the esteemed Emperor himself in their youth.

"Gucci, how could he possibly have died at the hands of Yan Tianqi"

"Now, I understand, I finally understand!"

The last sentence, Gu San gritted his teeth and said it, revealing the hatred in his heart!

Upon hearing Gu San's words, Jiang Yun also knew that his previous speculations had all been correct.

The Imperial Venerable secretly bought out Yan Tianqi, not only turning him into a person from the forbidden land, but also supporting him all the way to the position of the leader of the Nine Great Heavenly Generals in the Heavenly Beyond.

Perhaps the Emperor bought him out to find out about the Four Realms's Hidden Treasures and the news of Old Elder Cang.

But in order to allow Yan Tianqi to obtain more information and help him rise rapidly, the Emperor personally sent the lives of many ancient descendants to him!

And these ancient subjects sacrificed by the Emperor, like discarded pawns, the vast majority were also related to their master.

In short, the Emperor's approach can be understood as him gradually erasing everything that belongs to his master in this way.

Even, Jiang Yun's gaze once again fell upon Gu San.

Will this master's most loyal follower also become a target that the Emperor needs to eliminate

Although the master respected ancient traditions, to be honest, Ginger Cloud didn't feel much about the ancient descendants who were sacrificed by the Emperor.

Just as he regarded the Ginger clan in their suffering, he saw them all as strangers.

But, this kind of behavior from the Empyrean made him unable to condone it, and he even felt ashamed of the Empyrean's character.

The Empyrean is displeased with his master and wants to fight him, fine, but if you have the guts, go and challenge your master openly.

To strike when the master is away, what kind of skill is that!

Although Jiang Yun couldn't possibly say these words to Gu San's face, he had to speak about his safety.

Because Ginger Cloud could see through Gu San's personality, he was quite simple and straightforward in his dealings with people.

This should be related to Gus's experiences. He himself said that he hasn't seen many outsiders in his whole life.

Apart from serving the venerated elder in the beginning, he should have stayed within the ancient realm, devoting himself to cultivation and ignoring worldly affairs.

With such a personality, if he wasn't an emperor, one could even suspect that the Emperor Venerable had already killed him long ago.

Now that Gu San knows about the Emperor's purchase of Yan Tianqi, given his personality, he will probably go back and directly ask the Emperor about it.

Therefore, Gingercloud spoke up: "Ancient Predecessor, could you please leave the restricted area, or depart from the Four Realms' Sanctuary Let's go together to find our master!"

"Gu Sanshao smiled and shook his head. 'I can't leave Si Jing Zang.'"

"I know you're worried about me, don't worry, nothing will happen to me before I see Zunggu!"

"Alright, enough about that. The most important thing now is for you to find Venerable Gu as quickly as possible. As long as he returns, all these problems will be solved."

Jiangyun didn't know if Gusans words were true or false, but he couldn't afford to stay here any longer.

At this time, Gu San Yi pointed at the two people lying unconscious on the ground and said, "What's wrong with them"

"They want to kill me!" Jiang Yun said, "Ancient senior, can you please help me search his soul and see who sent them to kill me"

"What's the trouble, it's a small matter!"

Gu San smiled slightly, her divine sense already probing into the heart brows of the two.

However, just at this moment, Gu San suddenly let out a cold snort and said, "Without my consent, you can't die!"didn't have any power to fight back at all. Its body was repeatedly smashed hard onto the ground by Jiang Yun.Although the demon beast's flesh was incredibly tough, with every fall, everyone could cle...
