silently praying that Jiang Yun would be able to safely weather this storm.Yin Hong and Meng Qiao, along with the other two, had also dispersed. After all, gathering together would make the descendin...What can a friend do

As Yuan An opened the door, a voice immediately came from outside.

Then, four cultivators appeared outside the gate, their eyes fixed menacingly on Jiang Yun.

These four people were the cultivators of the Broken Law Realm that Jiang Yun had sensed before. They should be here to protect Yuan An, sent by the Slaughter Heaven Venerable.

Ginger Cloud ignored the four people and coldly looked at Yuan Ando: "Yuan, you wait. For what you did to me today, I will get back at you sooner or later!"

After dropping that sentence, Jiang Yun strode out, passing four cultivators.

Even four people couldn't stop Jiang Yun, they just stared at him with cold eyes.

Only after they saw Jiang Yun leave did they nod to Yuan An, and then they disappeared together.

Yuan An didn't speak to them either. He reached out a hand, and the door closed again.

Sitting in the room, Yuan An's face was still flushed with anger. He muttered to himself: "Fame is not as good as seeing it. I thought this kid had some real ability, but he turned out to be a coward!"

He shook his head, Yuan An said no more, and closed his eyes.

But his eyelids were twitching slightly, as if indicating that his heart was unable to calm down.

Jiang Yun had arrived on the street. After walking to a secluded and deserted corner, he stopped, turned his head towards the direction of Yuan An's house, and furrowed his brow. He muttered to himself, "Something isn't right about that Yuan An!"

Originally, Jiang Yun was truly enraged by Yuan An and was about to directly use force to search his soul.

At the last moment, he suddenly realized that Yuan An's behavior was very strange.

He had no grudge against the other party, and he came here just to ask him a question. Moreover, this question was not only asked by himself.

My grandpa's people, both my master and uncle have asked about it.

If he's willing to tell others, there's no need to single himself out and make fun of him.

Therefore, Ginger Cloud decided to leave first and go find him again after she had thought it over.

Assuming he is telling the truth, although his master's visit was somewhat unusual, to someone who doesn't know his master, his actions would seem quite normal.

"If someone who didn't know the master came here, they would probably believe his words."

"So, if the master truly acted strangely, even if he was originally cold and distant, unwilling to interact with people, he could have simply spoken a few words to dismiss me. There was no need for him to drag it on for so long, going back and forth with questions, uttering a stream of nonsense, and refusing to tell me anything."

"...especially he asked me beforehand, if he told me, would I believe him..."

What does this mean

Ginger Yun closed her eyes, carefully recalling every word Original An had said to her, each and every one.

A moment later, he suddenly opened his eyes and said: "The last time Yuan An drove me away, he said three things, each with a 'nonsense' attached to it."

"Could it be that the real thing he wants to tell me is actually hidden within all the meaningless words he's saying"

His biggest lie was what he said after reading my memories.

"Where did you learn your craft The pine tree on the mountain looks quite pleasant, but alas, it seems a vine has sprouted on its trunk!"

Jiang Yun's eyes suddenly lit up. The place where he worshipped his master was on Mount Cang, but there were no pine trees on the surface of Mount Cang.

Throughout history, pine trees have always symbolized immortality. Could it be that he's referring to the master when he mentions pine trees Is the master not immortal

"What did the master gain when a vine appeared on the pine tree"

"Or could it be that Master isn't a single person, but there are others around him"

"A vine wrapped around a tree will kill that tree if it isn't discovered and moved in time. It could be planted somewhere else, like on Huajiang Mountain, perhaps saving it."

Huojiangshan!

A cold light flashed in Jiang Yun's eyes. He hurriedly walked out from the corner and entered a shop, asking the clerk inside: "Young man, I'd like to ask about a place. Is there a Hua Jiangshan here"

That fellow nodded and said, "Yes, Huajiang Mountain is just outside our city. It's also called Nanshan. After leaving the city, if you walk south for about thirty miles, you'll see it."

Thank you!

As soon as the words left his lips, Jiang Yun's figure vanished and appeared atop a mountain thirty miles south of the city!

Standing atop the mountain, Jiang Yun gazed down at the landscape below, muttering softly: "Huajiang Mountain, Nanshan! Nanshan, pine trees, Nanshan Evergreen Pine..."

"Yes, the pine tree in Yuan An's words refers to the master."

"The vines were all over the trees, and although I don't know exactly what it means, it seems that Master had run into a big problem when he first arrived here."

"But, why would Yuan'an know so clearly Why couldn't he tell me directly, instead choosing to speak so cryptically"

"Could it be that someone was watching him, right by his side Making it impossible for him to speak openly about it"

"But before I entered his house, I had carefully checked and found no traces of any consciousness or other people monitoring him."

"The one who could deceive my divine senses is at least an emperor-level expert."

However, only an emperor-level expert should be able to threaten the master and put him in danger.

"By the way, he told me not to use soul searching on him, or I'd definitely regret it!"

Ginger Cloud's eyes narrowed slightly. "I understand, he is indeed being watched."

"The only problem is, the one watching him wasn't outside, but hidden within his soul, watching him closely. This made him afraid to tell me the truth."

If that's really the case, then the vines he mentioned entangling a tree should refer to someone hiding in his master's soul as well...

"No, he only has the strength of the Illusory Realm. It's impossible for him to see the strong divine consciousness in his master's soul. That means someone must be with his master."

This person, so-called Teng, follows his master around and puts the master in danger.

Even the Master, after visiting Yuan An, transferred his divine consciousness into Yuan An's soul. This prevented Yuan An from revealing his existence.

This is also why the people sent by Grandpa were unable to find out from Yuan An the reason why the master appeared in the Yuangian Realm with others!

Besides, since he replaced his master's given name with a pine tree, it shows that he knows his master's name.

"Whose idea was this name Did the master tell him, or did he already know the master"

"It should be the latter. He and his master might even be friends, or perhaps he received a favor from his master. Otherwise, there's no reason for him to risk telling me this!"

Ginger closed her eyes, and in her mind, a picture gradually began to form.

Yuan An, as usual, was telling stories in the teahouse where he always spoke. Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

Because he saw two people walking in from outside the gate.

One of them was his friend, his benefactor, Gu Bulao!

He hadn't seen Gu Bulao in a long time, to the point where he even considered giving up storytelling and rushing over to say hello.

But Gu Bulao simply glanced at him nonchalantly, then looked at his companions before finding a seat and sitting down.

For Gu Bulao, Yuan An was knowledgeable about him.

Logically, Gu Bulao shouldn't have ignored him when he saw himself.

In addition, Yuan An may not be strong in terms of ability, but his eyesight is excellent.

And only then did he notice that Gu Bulao's face was pale, and his walk was listless, as if he were injured.

This made him realize that Gu Bulao was probably in trouble.

Therefore, Yuan An did not greet Gu Bulao and pretended not to know him. After finishing his own book, he left the tavern and returned home.

After a few moments of quiet waiting at home, an unexpectedly familiar voice suddenly rang out from outside the door: "Is Mr. Yuan at home"

Just now I listened to your book, and it benefited me immensely, so I specially came to visit Mr. Yuan.

The original peace in the room suddenly darkened.

In the past, Gu Bulao was always domineering and tyrannical in his actions. He had never been this polite before.

It seems my guess was right, Gu Bulao is in trouble!

Therefore, he coldly said: "No!"

Then, excuse me. I'll be taking my leave!

Outside, the elderly guest bowed politely before slowly turning and leaving.

Hearing that Gu Bulao had actually left, Yuan An couldn't help himself. He rushed to the door, flung it open, wanting to call out to Gu Bulao.

Before he could even speak, the stranger beside Gu Bulao suddenly turned his head and gave him a cold smile.

From this point forward, his soul gained an extra spark of divine consciousness!

Jiang Yun also slowly opened his eyes.

"Why did he make me come to this HuaJiangshan!"sion, gradually raising the temperature of the life fire.The pain of this soul being scorched by the flames of hell is something ordinary people couldn't possibly endure.Just moments after being press...
