ce of the shocking facts before them, many disciples also began to question Master Xiao's words.Apart from the many disciples, the peaks' masters and elders, as well as the inner disciples, were even..."Huff!"

Jiang Yun was gasping for breath, every muscle in his body aching. There were even a few more gruesome wounds on him, bleeding profusely.

And all around him, the corpses of ferocious beasts were piled high. The nearly thirty beasts that had previously surrounded him were now, without exception, all slain by his hand.

If any disciple within the sect were to witness this scene, they would undoubtedly view Jiang Yun as a celestial being.

To slay nearly thirty Grade 7 or higher ferocious beasts single-handedly is equivalent to killing almost thirty cultivators at the Pulse Opening Seventh Stage or higher, including several Eighth and Ninth Stage practitioners.

This is simply impossible, even for inner disciples. It not only requires powerful cultivation as a foundation but also rich combat experience as support.

And all of this, Ginger Cloud possessed in full.

However, in order to kill these nearly thirty ferocious beasts, he exhausted all means, both physical strength and spiritual techniques. This resulted in his body once again falling into a state of exhaustion.

Gingercloud's gaze did not look at the corpses of the beasts on the ground, but kept circling around. Because until now, the unknown existence that had just given orders to these beasts had not yet appeared.

And that unknown entity might just be its greatest enemy, even possibly the cause of Lü Xiayu's death.

Ke Momo silently waited for a while, but nothing unusual happened around him. Jiang Yun simply sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes slightly, and the mantra of "Tunjue" appeared in his mind. While continuously absorbing spiritual energy from all directions, he also kept his senses at their peak, on high alert for that unknown presence.

Look, the official chapter

is up on .mB*

It's a pity that Jiang Yun didn't know, just as he sat down, a mass of black mist, as tall as a person, quietly appeared not far behind him.

From within the mist, a sinister voice echoed: "Such a formidable physique, it must be delicious to chew on! Hehe, this time the Questioning Dao Sect has produced two fine disciples. Too bad, I've gotten lucky!"

As soon as the voice fell, the mist vanished from its original location and reappeared before Jiang Yun. Strangely, however, Jiang Yun's usually sharp senses were completely useless at this moment. He didn't even see the black mist.

The mist, like an explosion, suddenly swelled and instantly enveloped Jiang Yun's body completely.

Then, in the mist, they swirled silently, coalescing into strands as thick as hairs, pressing towards Jiāng Yún's nine acupoints.

From afar, it looked like the mist suddenly transformed into wriggling worms, desperately trying to squeeze into Ginger Cloud's body.

However, just as those black lines were about to touch Jiang Yun's body, they were suddenly all bounced back, as if there was some powerful force within him preventing the black lines from entering.

This sudden change stopped the mist from swirling and the black lines became still. Then, after a moment, that eerie voice echoed again: “I said I felt like I knew this beast skin kid. It’s him! No wonder he could withstand me! This is troublesome. It would be a waste not to eat him, but if I do, what if that guy comes looking for me someday”

The mist began to rise and fall constantly, as if reflecting the hesitation and struggle within the voice's owner. After a long silence, the voice spoke again, letting out a long sigh: "Forget it, one more or less won't make much difference to me. I might as well do him this favor! Just, I have to let this kid know, otherwise this favor will be for nothing."

As the voice faded, the mist abruptly began to shrink. It not only released Jiang Yun's body but also condensed into a withered, gaunt old man in black before his eyes.

Jiang Yun also suddenly opened his eyes, saw the old man in front of him, his body suddenly leaped up, rapidly retreated, at the same time, a strange look flashed across his face: "Who are you"

Since the opponent could appear silently and without a trace in front of him, their strength was definitely far superior to his. It was very likely the unknown entity that had previously manipulated the beasts.

The withered old man touched his cheeks that were as dry and rough as tree bark and said, "Hee hee, I'm a friend of your friend!"

"Friend of a friend"

Jiang Yun's mind raced, calculating quickly. His circle of friends was pitifully small. Besides the villagers from Jiang Village, the only ones he could truly call friends were Dongfang Bo, his second senior sister, and Lu Xiaoyu.

For a moment, Ginger Cloud hesitated, then furrowed his brow and asked, "Do you know Senior Brother"

In Ginger Cloud's opinion, the people of Ginger Village were absolutely impossible to have such powerful friends, and Lu Xiao Yu shouldn't either. Since this Caged Beast Forest was close to the Question Dao Sect, then the other party could only be Dong Fang Bo's friend.

"He's your senior brother" The old man seemed startled, but he quickly nodded. "That's right, I've known your senior brother for quite a long time."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yun believed a portion of the old man's identity but remained cautious. He kept his distance and clasped his hands together in a respectful bow, saying: "My name is Jiang Yun. Although I am not yet Master Senior Brother's disciple, Master Senior Brother has treated me with great kindness. Since you are a friend of Master Senior Brother, you are naturally my friend as well. What should I call you"

The old man chuckled and said, "Just call me Lao Hei!"

Jiang Yun didn't care about the other party's address, and he didn't even ask if the one who drove the ferocious beasts was him. He flipped his wrist, and a sachet appeared in his palm. He said urgently: "Brother Lao Hei, have you ever seen the owner of this sachet She is a little girl, twelve or thirteen years old, about my age, and also a handyman disciple of Wen Dao Zong."

"Old Hei Brother" Lao Hei's mouth twitched slightly, apparently finding Jiang Yun's title quite strange. However, after glancing at the sachet, he nodded and said, "Nice to meet you!"

Ginger Cloud could only feel her breath quicken: "Is she still alive"

"This..."

Old Hei thought to himself, "I'm still alive, but I'm already in his belly. Could he possibly make me spit it back out"

After a moment's hesitation, Lao Hei continued, "First tell me, what is your relationship with that little girl"

"She is my sister!"

"Sister"

Lao Hei's facial muscles twitched again involuntarily, and he even felt like crying: "Although he only asked me to take care of this boy, he didn't tell me that he also had a sister! This is a huge loss. To bring one, I have to send one!"

"Well, since we've already put one in, what's the harm in putting another"

Thinking about this, Lao Hei suddenly pointed to the back of Jiang Yun and said: "She's still alive, just her breath is a bit weak. She's in a tree hole over there."

Ginger Cloud was both surprised and delighted, so much so that she forgot to say thank you. She immediately turned around and dashed towards the direction Old Black had pointed, like a bolt of lightning.and dragging them into the Dao Ruins.But before them stood Ji Kongfan, his face grim and his eyes cold.Before either of them could react, streaks of black annihilation patterns flashed across Ji Kongf...
