Xing's form not only began to shrink but also gradually became solid again.But the dark aura on his face and the stench of death clinging to him hadn't vanished. Instead, they grew even stronger.Altho...Yu Qingcang took a long look at Gu Bulao, said nothing more. His hands moved with incredible speed, forming several hand seals in succession. Then, he pressed his right thumb hard against the air and drew it forcefully across.

Space, just like paper, was sliced open by him with a gash, and continued to be ripped apart until it transformed into a gaping hole that spanned several feet.

Still unconscious, Jiang Yun was swept into the cave by Yuan Qingcang's waving sleeve and vanished in an instant.

And the hole healed quickly, soon returning to its original state, with no trace left behind.

After sending off Jiang Yun, Yuan Qingcang finally turned his gaze back to Gu Bulao Dao: "My task is complete, and now it's your turn to keep your promise!"

Gu Bulao chuckled and said with a booming voice, "Yuan Qingcang, you're getting more talkative these days. I'm afraid you'll make me renege on my promise!"

Yuan Qingcang finally stopped talking, turned around, and took a step back, disappearing as well.

Within this boundless realm, it seemed as though only Gu Bulao and Bai Li Guang'an remained.

Gu Bulao was as if nothing had happened. He turned his head to look at Bai Li Guang'an Dao: "Ji Mie, are you still waiting here for others to come find me"

Bai Li Guang'an also laughed and shook his head like nothing had happened, "No need to wait."

Besides Ginger Cloud, no one else should come looking for you.

"It's pointless to wait any longer, let's just head straight to the Mystic Eye!"

Gu Bulao looked him up and down, "Your body doesn't seem very familiar to you!"

"Well, since you couldn't wait for Ji Kongfan's body, you set your sights on my disciple instead."

As for the fact that the Great Emperor of Extinction wanted to forcefully keep Jiang Yun, Gu Bulao felt that he probably didn't want to kill Jiang Yun, but rather wanted to occupy Jiang Yun's body.

Perhaps it was because Bai Li Guang's body, light and dark as it was, wasn't quite a match for his power, or perhaps the Emperor of Annihilation didn't want to share a body with Nai Luo.

Just like Jiang Yun and Ji Kongfan, Gu Bulao's guess stems from the fact that they both possess the Annihilation Body.

Bai Li Guang'an, as if he hadn't heard Gu Bulao's words, turned his gaze to the ancient town gun in his hand and said, "This spear feels quite good in my hands. It seems I've made some progress."

"Let's go!"

After finishing his words, Bai Li Guang's wrist flicked with a turn, and the Town Ancient Spear was put away by him. He then strode towards the outside of Xuan Wu Jie.

Gu Bulao smiled faintly and surprisingly followed behind him.

Thus, the two of them, one after the other, walked out of the Xuanwu Realm. Within the realm, they walked further and further away.

After the two figures disappeared completely, in the Xuan Wu Jie, Yuan Qingcang and his daughter reappeared.

Yuan Qingcang's daughter looked at her father with a displeased expression: "Father, even though Gu Bulao was more powerful than you in his previous life, he didn't pledge his life to you, but to the Yuan family."

"You privately opened the exit and sent his disciples away. After returning, you will still be punished by your family."

This matter does not benefit you in any way, why bother meddling!

"Haha!" Yu Qingcang burst out laughing with great delight. "Yiyi, your vision shouldn't just be focused on the present; you need to think long-term."

"From what I can see right now, there's no benefit to me at all, but in the future…"

Speaking of this, Yuan Qingsang suddenly slowly retracted the smile on his face and looked earnestly at his daughter. "Yiy, remember this, our Yuan family may seem prosperous, but in reality, it is precarious."

What's even more terrifying is that because of my original family's status, my original family has no friends at all.

One day, my family might face a catastrophe.

"If, at that time, a powerful person were willing to step forward and help my ancestral home for one hundred years, then my family would surely prosper immensely!"

That's why I was willing to break the family rules to send him away, even though it meant going against them.

As for the punishment my family would inflict upon me, at most it would be to have me face the wall for a hundred years.

"A hundred years is but a fleeting moment!"

Yuan Qingcang closed his mouth, his gaze fixed on the dark domain. On his face, which had been calm before, a hint of gloom inexplicably appeared.

As for her father's words, Yuan Yiy was listening with a vague understanding.

She said she didn't understand at all, so it was impossible.

As a member of the original clan, she naturally knew that every ten thousand years, when the Illusory True Eye opened, her clan would undergo a test.

This exam, it is said to be very, very difficult, but the Yuan family is not experiencing this for the first time, therefore they have prepared and are confident in their ability to cope.

But she could see that her father lacked confidence, placing all his hope for their family to overcome this trial on Gu Bulao.

Keku Buluo is now in danger and it's unknown whether he will live to see the day his original home is tested.

The father's hopes may be placed on him, but it is highly likely to be a futile effort.

Hope, in the end, turned into disappointment!

With a slight hesitation, Yuan Yiyin directly voiced her concern: "Father, is there any way to know if Gu Bulao will be able to escape from that person with two souls"

"What if he is killed, or doesn't make it to our original home in time What then"

"Yuan Qingcang said softly, 'Gu Bulao... it's indeed highly unlikely to appear. So, when the time comes, we can only find his disciple to fulfill his master's promise.'

"

"You're hoping for Jiang Yun" Yuan Yiyi stared wide-eyed.

Yuan Qingsong fell silent for a moment before nodding. "Yes, Gu Bulao told me that although he accepted Jiang Yun as his disciple, he had never given Jiang Yun anything."

And this time, he had managed to repay his debts to Ginger Cloud in full.

"Yuan Yiyi was initially taken aback, but then she suddenly realized, "Could it be the mark that Gu Bulao had drawn on Jiang Yun's brow"

"Not bad!" Yuan Qingcang said, "That's not an ordinary mark, that's the ancient... fate!"

Life!

Yuan Yiy this time really didn't understand, Gu Bulao gave his own life to Jiang Yun

However, just as she was about to continue asking for clarification, Yuan Qingcang spoke up in a loud voice: "Alright, let's end things here for today."

"Now, I shall return to accept my punishment. Perhaps by then, I'll still be in time for the opening of the Illusory Eye."

"Let's go!"

After finishing his words, Yuan Qingcang didn't wait for his daughter's reaction. With a flick of his sleeve, he enveloped his daughter's body and disappeared with her.

The Xuanwu Realm has finally returned to complete tranquility.

However, three months later, another unwelcome guest arrived in the Xuanwu Realm.

This is a bald man standing in the sky of the Xuanwu realm. After looking down for a long time, he sighed and said, "Although I reluctantly acknowledge you as the leader, you have indeed been good to me."

Now that you are dead, all past matters are naturally erased.

"If one day I become emperor, and if I ever meet the person who killed you, then I will kill him and avenge you."

"I guess this is fate, fulfilling our master-servant bond."

This bald man, of course, is Kùzhú.

After escaping from the Xuanwu Realm that day, he found a world to hide in.

He had been hiding until now, and only then did he appear, gathering his courage to return to this Profound Nothing Realm. He considered it a pilgrimage, paying respects to the late Jiang Yun.

"Alas, the old boss's lifelong wish was to go to the Eye of Illusion. Anyway, I have nowhere else to go now, so why not continue to the Eye of Illusion and fulfill the old boss's wish!"

He shook his head, Ku Zhu turned around and left the Xuanwu Realm.

Just as Jiang Yun was sent back to the Zhutian Jyu by Yuan Qingcang, in the forbidden land of Si Jing Zang, there stood a magnificent and colossal palace.

Deep within the palace, a middle-aged man wearing an imperial crown held a cup of wine in his hand. He sipped it delicately while smiling and gazing at a palm-sized figurine hovering before him.

The doll's body was already covered in cracks, and at this moment, its head was also rapidly displaying crack after crack.

Until a dull boom echoed out, the little doll completely exploded into a cloud of fragments.

Hahaha!

That Emperor's crown man suddenly laughed loudly, looking up to the sky: "It's broken, finally broken!"intentionally handing me a victory"As he spoke, Wuxingzi's divine consciousness also spread towards the boundary fissure, searching for the helper that Jiang Yun had brought who should be able to cont...
