Chapter Forty-One: A Sword's Light
Yue Qing's heart brimmed with hatred towards Dao Lian'er, towards Jiang Yun, and even towards this entire Sea-Mountain Realm.After receiving Dao Lian'er's permission, Jiang Yun completely ignored Yue...Hearing this indifferent voice, all the elders and peak masters immediately stopped their movements. Inside the main peak, Jian Dao Peak, a rather stout middle-aged man in a yellow robe's face changed rapidly before he anxiously said: "Sect Master, this figure's strength is obviously much stronger than Yu Xuan's. If we don't go, Yu Xuan might be in mortal danger."
Originally, this speaker was none other than the Sect Master of the Asking Dao Sect!
The Sect Leader's voice rang out once more: "When that disciple named Jiang Yun was in mortal danger, why didn't any of you go to his aid"
The man in the yellow robe was startled and said, "Him Him He couldn't possibly be compared to Yu Xuan. What's more, he might be from the Hundred Thousand Desolate Mountains, a spy sent by the demon clan!"
"Master Wei, do you have any evidence"
The moment these words were spoken, the man in yellow robes was speechless. The others dared not speak either. They believed that rumors of Jiang Yun coming from the Hundred Thousand Barren Mountains were just guesses; how could there be evidence to prove he was a spy sent by the demon race
Although the Sect Leader's voice was no longer heard, these people naturally didn't dare to make any further movements. Only on the top of Hundred Beasts Peak, the white-haired old man let out a long sigh from his mouth, though his figure had never moved in the first place.
Meanwhile, in the square, facing Fang Yu's full power, the blurry figure suddenly produced a faint sword shadow and casually swung it towards Fang Yu!
That light and airy manner, like wielding a sword to drive away a fly before one's face, not even raising a hint of wind.
But Fang Yu-xuan, who was right in front of them, suddenly changed his expression.
Between the flashes of that figure's sword, he distinctly felt a terrifying sword aura as vast as the sky, enveloping his entire body. Even if he exerted all his strength, he couldn't escape even a fraction of it.
Even if this sword qi were willing, it could easily slice itself into countless pieces!
Now he looks just like he did when Jiang Yun was subdued by him not long ago.
"Ah!"
Finally, with a scream that reached the absolute peak of horror, this terrifying sword energy suddenly transformed into a violent hurricane, engulfing Fang Yu Xuan and charging towards the distant horizon, the very direction he had been gazing at just moments before his arrival.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Fang Yu-xuan just mysteriously disappeared!
Or perhaps, under the swing of his sword against that hazy silhouette, he vanished.
And after he disappeared, the blurry figure also vanished, leaving all the disciples in the square bewildered and confused.
No one knows whether Fang Yuxuan disappeared on his own out of fear of the shadows, or if he was forcibly vanished by the blurry figure using some unknown sorcery.
This question, I'm afraid, can only be answered by Fang Yuxuan himself.
No, perhaps Jiang Yun could answer, because that blurry figure appeared right after he burned an amulet.
Then, all eyes turned back to Jiang Yun.
While Ginger Cloud's face remained expressionless, a hint of shock appeared in his eyes.
That talisman, of course, was the life-saving substitute talisman sent to him by his second senior sister.
Gingercloud, who was never accustomed to asking for help from others, had almost forgotten about the substitute talisman until an elder in Baishou Peak spoke up for him, prompting him to suddenly remember it.
However, he also hadn't expected that this talisman would release a blurry human figure, and the power of this figure was simply terrifyingly strong.
Especially that final, random swing of the sword, in other people's eyes, it might have seemed like nothing at all. But in Jiang Yun's eyes, it was filled with a white, blade-like light, and nothing else!
As for the origins of that figure, he was just as clueless. All he knew was that it definitely wasn't his second senior sister.
No matter what, this stand-in talisman really saved his life and also brought a warmth to his heart.
Gritting his teeth, Jiang Yun stood up from the ground and strode towards Fang Ruolin, who was frozen in place. He said coldly, "Tell me, where is Xiaoyu"
To say the most bewildered person right now is Fang Ruolin, in her heart, her own brother was the strongest being, capable of anything. Yet now, he has mysteriously disappeared at the hands of a blurry figure.
Upon hearing Ginger Cloud's words, Fang Ruolin's body trembled slightly. She finally withdrew her gaze from the sky and turned to look at Ginger Cloud.
Although her eyes still held a deep resentment, the disdain was gone. Especially when she saw Jiang Yun's body, already stained red with blood, her body trembled involuntarily again.
Without her brother's protection, she dared not be arrogant anymore. She could only grit her teeth and helplessly say, "I let her go to the Monster Forest to catch a Azure Wolf back for me!"
Desperate situation!
A cold light suddenly erupted in Jiang Yun's eyes, as if it were a tangible thing, piercing fiercely into Fang Ruolin's eyes, making her unable to meet his gaze.
Fortunately, after a blink of an eye, the cold glint in Jiang Yun's eyes had vanished. She even turned and left, but only her voice lingered beside Xiao Yu's ear: "If Xiaoyu suffers any harm, I will make you pay double."
Facing the direction of Bai Shou Peak, Jiang Yun clasped his hands and bowed deeply.
After straightening his body, he slowly walked towards the gate of Wenzhao Zong.
Although he was now near his end, with both his physical strength and spiritual energy depleted, and his body riddled with serious injuries, his footsteps did not falter for a moment.
Because he had to rush to the Beast's Den immediately.
Although the Wudao Sect only has five or six peaks, it is built into the mountains. There are continuous mountain ranges surrounding the entire sect.
Where there are mountains, there are naturally forests. This encirclement is a forest that grows on the mountain range.
This forest is vast. It's known as a "trap for beasts" because many ferocious creatures gather within its depths.
Although the number of ferocious beasts within is incomparable to the hundred thousand Mang Mountains, it is definitely not a place anyone can enter casually. Even the Wudao Sect specially placed powerful restrictions throughout the forest, leaving only one entrance, allowing only human cultivators to enter and exit. Furthermore, they designated this forest as a training ground for their inner disciples.
For Baishou Peak, the significance of the Beast-Tamer Forest is even greater. Whether it's inner or outer sect disciples' spirit beasts, they all need to be captured from within the Beast-Tamer Forest.
However, even disciples of the Beast Summit dare not venture too deep into the Beast Prison Forest. They can only linger on the outskirts of the forest because the deeper they go, the stronger the beasts that exist become.
However, now Lu Xiao Yu, a mere disciple of the pulse-condensation stage, was tricked by Fang Ruolin into going to the Beast Trap Forest to catch the Qing Guang Wolf. No wonder she said earlier that even if Jiang Yun knew about Lu Xiao Yu's whereabouts and rushed over, it would be useless.

Besides, the Beast Enclosure wasn't far from the Question Dao Sect. At a fast pace, it could be reached in half an hour. Originally, Jiang Yun was thinking of catching up to Lu Xiaoyu by relying on his speed, but now calculating the time, Lu Xiaoyu had already entered the Beast Enclosure long ago.
No matter what, even if Lü Xiuyu has truly encountered an accident in the forest, Jiang Yun must enter the Beast's Trap Forest.
Looking at Jiang Yun's slightly staggering figure, gradually fading away, the many disciples on the plaza fell silent. Even Xiao Yishu opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he shook his head, remained silent, and let Jiang Yun disappear from everyone's sight.ure enough, he found a strange symbol above his eyebrows, shaped like the character "four"!And he didn't have time to think about why the numbers on his and Ye Guchen's foreheads were different. He tu...
