ould all be his men. When he wakes up, just have him bring them all up here to receive the Mark of the Wasteland Master!”After uttering those words, the middle-aged man turned and was about to leave.H...Not only were guests invited to watch the grand military competition, but even guards who were not entitled to be outside or inside the Heavenly Palace could attend.

This naturally leads to too many participants, so each time the competition is held, a deserted world is chosen as the location.

This time is no exception.

>More than a month ago, when Leng Yichen received the order from the two emperors that he could prepare for the grand competition, the Nine Great Heavenly Generals had already chosen a world together and sent guards to set it up.

When Jiang Yun passed by the Wǔwǔ Hall, he found that a large number of cultivators had already gathered in front of the hall at this moment.

In front of the palace, ten teleportation arrays were hastily set up. Each array was guarded by a celestial warrior from Heaven Beyond.

These cultivators, led by ten Heavenly Guards from the Outer Heavens, stepped into the corresponding teleportation array and proceeded to the location where the grand competition would be held.

Jiang Yun only glanced at it before withdrawing his gaze, silently turning around and leaving. He returned directly to his own area and appeared in front of Liu Meng.

According to regulations, guards participating in the grand competition must be led by their superiors and only then are they eligible to enter the venue of the competition.

Therefore, even if Jiang Yun's strength is strong, he is still just a small guard now, and can only come to Liu Meng first.

When Liu Meng saw Jiang Yun standing in front of him, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, open his mouth, and stare blankly.

In his opinion, for so long, Jiang Yun hadn't appeared again, he must have died in the forbidden land.

However, to his surprise, Jiang Yun was now standing right in front of him, alive and well.

But after the shock, Liu Meng's face was filled with excitement. He opened his arms wide and strode towards Jiang Yun, clearly wanting to give him a hug.

Ginger Cloud, however, waved his hand and said, "Liu Sir, there's no need to be so polite."

Liu Meng, also someone Jiang Yun will surely kill.

In order to seek revenge on Fan Xiao, the person who had taken his place, Jiang Yun naturally wouldn't get too close to him.

Stopped by Jiang Yun, Liu Meng put his arms down a little sheepishly, but the smile on his face didn't change. He shouted loudly, "Brother Fan, I miss you so much!"

"You don't know, all these years you've been in the forbidden zone, I've always been worried about you meeting with an accident."

"Fortunately, little brother, you're a kind person who has good fortune. You've finally returned safely."

"By the way, when are you coming back Why didn't anyone tell me I still need to report back at Tianjiang."

"No need, Mo Tianjiang already knows I'm back," Jiang Yun said faintly.

Liu Meng's heart suddenly moved, which was naturally something that made him feel a little surprised.

Mo Ze actually knew about Jiang Yun's return before him.

That means Jiang Yun should have gone beyond himself and made direct contact with Mo Ze.

Although Liu Meng felt a bit resentful, he also knew that Fan Xiao was not the same as he used to be now.

Don't be fooled by their claims of authority. In reality, they are incapable of commanding respect and loyalty from those under them for long.

Therefore, he eagerly nodded and said, "That's good, that's good! So you're going to participate in this year's military competition"

Liu Meng is not stupid either. Since Fan Xiao could contact Mo Ze directly, he would still run to his face, he must be participating in the military competition.

Ginger Cloud admitted, "That's right. So I'll have to trouble Lord Liu to bring it back."

"That's right, that's right!" Liu Meng nodded again. "We joined Tiantuotian to seek a better future."

“Now, this opportunity is right here in front of us. Brother Fan has been laying low for years, this time, he's probably going to make a huge splash.”

"Jiang Yun smiled slightly. "I wouldn't say it's a stunning debut, but of course I want to try my luck."

"By the way, Lord Liu, has there been anything unusual at the prison we've been guarding these past years"

Jiang Yun was trying to find out about the barbarian tribesman, but Liu Meng naturally thought that Jiang Yun was referring to the good things they had found and whether outsiders knew about them.

Liu Meng looked around and transmitted his voice, "Calm."

Only then did Ginger Cloud feel relieved.

Although he still wanted to go there, he decided not to because the Derby was about to begin and he didn't have much time.

Moreover, even if he went, there was a high probability that the Barbarian Emperor wouldn't be able to respond to him. There would be no point in going, so he temporarily dismissed this idea.

"Liu Meng, however, suddenly followed up with, "Brother Fan, is there anything else good over there"

Jiang Yun hesitated for a moment and then said, "Since Lord Liu has asked, I'll be honest. There are indeed some good things left."

"Alright, how about after the big match we go again"

Then, I'll take all the good things inside and split them evenly with the grown-ups.

However, as soon as Gingercloud finished speaking, Liu Meng grinned and rubbed his hands together, saying, "Why wait until later Let's just go now!"

"Now" Jiang Yun was slightly taken aback. "The Grand Competition is about to begin, it's too late to go now, isn't it!"

Liu Meng smiled and said, "Younger brother, I know that after this big competition, you will definitely be promoted and leave here."

"By then, if you want to come back, it'll be much harder."

That's true. If Jiang Yun is transferred away from District 99, then even if he and Liu Meng are good friends, they won't be allowed to enter District 99 again.

Once revealed, it's a death sentence.

"So, let's go now. Since there are a lot of spectators watching this battle, it would take some time to teleport everyone there."

"And now, almost all the guards have been deployed to handle the Grand Tournament, so no one is looking after us anymore."

We got what we needed and went straight to the location of the big competition, unseen by gods and demons, wouldn't that be perfect!

Jiangyun was completely convinced of Liu Meng's greed.

He was worried that after the big exam, he would leave and never come back, or that by then his official rank would be higher than his.

By then, he wouldn't dare to ask for favors from him anymore, so he wanted to take advantage of the fact that the competition hadn't started yet and get as much benefit as possible.

Jiang Yun thought of the situation at the Martial Arts Hall just now, and knew that Liu Meng was also telling the truth.

With so many people sending messages individually, it would definitely take some time.

He left early and was just waiting around, so he might as well go take a look at that Emperor of the Wilderness.

So Ginger Cloud nodded and replied, "Since Lord Liu is so anxious, let's go right away."

Liu Meng said impatiently, "Then what are we waiting for, let's go!"

The two of them acted decisively and immediately left, heading to the teleportation array within the manor. They crept inside and entered the ninety-ninth district.

"Liu Meng smiled at Jiang Yun and said, "Because this time it's top secret, I purposely avoided the prisoners here."

"As usual, I'll keep watch for you. Little brother, you go and get what we need, but you have to be quick about it. This time, absolutely no delays."

"It's alright if I lose this big competition. However, my younger brother will have to wait another hundred years."

Jiang Yun smiled slightly and said, "Good!"

As soon as his voice fell, Jiang Yun ignored Liu Meng any longer. He took a step forward and came to the place where the wild grass formed the desolate pattern. He sat down cross-legged.

In Jiang Yun's view, the Empyrean Emperor of the Wilderness Clan definitely wouldn't pay any attention to him, so sending out his divine sense and wilderness patterns was merely a tentative attempt with no expectations whatsoever.

However, what he didn't expect was that as soon as his divine consciousness and the desolate patterns plunged into the depths of the earth, he suddenly sensed a powerful force.

This made Jiang Yun's face change drastically.

Meanwhile, inside the Tianshu Mansion in TianwaiTian City, Xing Di sat on the seat that originally belonged to Leng Yichen and looked down at Leng Yichen, saying: "This time, the grand competition has been delayed for over a year. Has there been any movement inside"

Leng Yichen cupped his hands and said, "Only the Third Heaven, Sixth Heaven, and Seventh Heaven are moving. The other Heavens are completely still."

However, even these three places of great chaos have calmed down considerably and have already been subdued by my subordinates.

The Emperor of Punishment nodded. "Mm, it seems the other Heaven Realms are almost..."

"Hm" Before the Emperor could finish his sentence, he stopped abruptly, his brows furrowing slightly. "Something's happening in the first heaven!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Emperor Xing's figure had vanished without a trace!e, Jiang Yun finally spoke: "Senior Lü, is our agreement truly just about protecting Miss Nan"Any transaction must be conducted under the condition of equality.And the first three gifts Lü Lun sent to...
