enly turned his head, looking in a certain direction. His tongue, which hadn't retracted yet, licked away the last trace of blood from the corner of his mouth."What a vigorous life!""Unexpectedly, the...Since Gingercloud had already guessed what Emperor Xuan had done to her, she could naturally imagine the emperor's purpose in coming here. It wasn't for the Mirage Clan, but for herself.

If we truly let Xundi recklessly charge into the mirage clan, not only would he surely be discovered himself, but Xundi might also discover the existence of Emperor Xuanyuan and Gu San. That would be a real major problem.

Therefore, it's better to show up proactively and avoid implicating the Mirage Clan and Emperor Xuan Yuan, or causing trouble for Jiang Haochu.

Seeing Jiang Yun's appearance, Jiang Haochu's eyebrows couldn't help but wrinkle slightly. He transmitted his voice and said, "Who let you out!"

The Emperor considered Jiang Yun to be a seed, planting him and waiting for him to bear the fruit of an emperor's intention. Before that fruit was fully ripe, he naturally wouldn't kill Jiang Yun.

This is the confidence that Ginger Cloud has to stand up and face Emperor Xuan.

Hearing Jiang Yun's words, although Jiang Haochu no longer spoke, he took a step towards Jiang Yun, standing closer to him.

He was clearly prepared, just in case the Xundi truly intended to harm Jiangyun, he could at least lend a hand.

But Emperor Xuan laughed out loud, "Jiang Yun, I find myself appreciating you more and more!"

Ginger Yun retracted her smile and calmly looked at Emperor Xuan, "I wonder what honorable purpose brings Emperor Xuan to seek me out"

"Emperor Xuan smiled faintly and said, "I just want to ask you, did you come from the heavens or within"

"Heavens above" Jiang Yun frowned. "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, but I don't understand what you mean."

"Celestial Realm, that's where the Four Realms Prison is located. I'm just an ordinary cultivator, how could I possibly be qualified to enter Celestial Realm!"

Although Jiang Yun knew that Emperor Xuan had tampered with him, he couldn't admit to replacing Fan Xiao and becoming the Heavenly Guard of Tianguo even if it killed him.

Then the Emperor Xuan looked at Jiang Yun up and down for a few times, then suddenly changed to voice transmission: "Since you are unwilling to say, I will not force you."

"I ask you, do you want to protect the Demon Clan and the Spirit Tree"

This sudden shift in topic from the Emperor left Jiang Yun's brows furrowing even tighter.

Just moments ago, I was pondering my origins, but now I'm inexplicably drawn to the Mirage Clan and the Spirit Tree. This leaves me completely bewildered. What exactly is Emperor Xuan hiding in his gourd

Without waiting for Jiang Yun's reply, Emperor Xuan continued, "If you think so, just obediently listen to me."

“Not only will I not make things difficult for the Mirage Clan and Spiritwood, but I can also ensure that the Mirage Clan remains firmly seated as the top demonic clan, making it so that no one dares to disturb Spiritwood and the Wood Clan!”

Facing the Emperor Xu's threats and enticements, Jiang Yun remained silent for a moment before speaking, "I wonder, what does Emperor Xu need me to do"

"The smile on Emperor Xuan's face deepened as he said, 'This is perfect. I enjoy dealing with intelligent people.'"

"I need you to be the celestial marshal of heavens above!"

Jiang Yun was stunned for a moment, unable to help but wonder if he had misheard!

The Exalted Emperor, to actually make himself the Heavenly Marshal of Heaven Beyond Heaven!

After a moment of surprise, Jiang Yun gave a faint smile and said, "Your Majesty Xuanti, to think so highly of Jiang Yun is truly an honor beyond words."

But, Jiang Yun didn't even have the qualifications to enter the Heavenly Realm, how could he possibly become...

Before Gingercloud could finish her words, Emperor Xuan shook his head and interrupted, "I just said you were smart, why do you have to play dumb in front of me, Fanxiao"

Although Emperor Xuan directly exposed his identity as a replacement, Jiang Yun still refused to admit it. However, he didn't try to explain his identity any further.

Jiang Yun Mian revealed a wry smile, "My strength is insignificant. Within and outside of the Heaven's Beyond are countless experts."

"Not to mention the Heavenly Marshal, even the Nine Great Heaven Generals, countless deputy generals, and commanders, there are so many people whose strength surpasses mine. How could I, a mere guard, possibly become the Heavenly Marshal!"

Xuan Di smiled and said, "You don't need to belittle yourself. Your current strength is indeed a bit weaker, but since even I look at you differently, it means you have something admirable about you."

Besides, I don't expect you to become a celestial being right away. I'll give you plenty of time!

Jiang Yun pondered for a moment, "Given His Majesty the Emperor's status, arranging an Heavenly Marshal shouldn't be difficult, so why would He ask me to take on that role"

Xuan Di smiled and said, "Let me tell you the truth, there are many secrets hidden in the world beyond the heavens, and I am very interested in some of them."

"However, I am restricted by my identity and cannot involve myself in affairs beyond the heavens. I cannot even know these secrets."

"And the selection of guards for Heaven's Gate was also extremely rigorous."

Within the entire Heaven Within a Heaven, from the celestial marshal Leng Yichen at the top to the ordinary guards at the bottom, including you, every individual's origins and backgrounds are recorded. You cannot have any connection with any of the Emperors.

"I could find any one of them, and they would all be apprehensive."

Therefore, only you, Fan Xiao, who is free from attachments and has no relatives, are the most suitable!

To put it simply, I don't care why you got involved with the Heavenly Realm. All I need is for you to become a Heavenly General and help me uncover some secrets within it.

If you do well, maybe I'll let you off the hook!

Ginger Cloud fell silent for a moment before asking, "Could you tell me, Emperor Xuan, what secrets are hidden within the realm beyond the heavens"

The Emperor shook his head and said, "No!"

Ginger then asked, "What if I don't agree, or what if I can't do it"

Then Emperor Xuen, with a smile, pointed his finger at the Mirage Clan's path behind Gingercloud: "And you, Mirage Clan, Ling Shu, Mu Family, everything I know about you and your connections will disappear forever from within the Four Realms Vault!"

Jiang Yun knew very well that if he truly became a Heavenly Marshal, whether or not Emperor Xuan would let him go was hard to say. However, if he refused, then the other party would definitely keep his word and wipe out everyone related to him.

However, becoming the celestial marshal of Heavenly Beyond, this is actually also a way for Jiang Yun to return to Heavenly Beyond. For him, there is nothing unacceptable about it.

Therefore, Jiang Yun pretended to think seriously for a long time before finally putting on a helpless smile and saying, "Since Emperor Xuan has said it this way, what other choice do I have!"

"However, I wonder if I could make a small request"

Emperor Xuan said with interest, "Tell me about it!"

Jiang Yun pointed at himself and said, "Can you please ask the Emperor Xuan to remove his hands from me"

"Firstly, I'm not comfortable being watched."

"Second, in case I encounter other Emperors and they find traces of the Emperor Xuan's handiwork on me, not only will I be unable to become a Heavenly Marshal, but I might also implicate Emperor Xuan, preventing him from doing even greater things for him."

Besides, now the Sinking Clan, the Wood Clan, and the Spirit Tree Clan are all under Emperor Xuan's control. Even if Emperor Xuan didn't monitor me, I wouldn't betray him.

After a moment's thought, Emperor Xuan smiled and nodded. "Very well!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Emperor Xuan raised his hand and grabbed towards Jiang Yun in mid-air. A green mist flew out from Jiang Yun's body and landed in Emperor Xuan's hand.

And seeing that touch of green, Jiang Yun's heart couldn't help but stir. It was a distinct trace of wood power!

This naturally also made Jiang Yun understand, this thread of wood power should have originally existed within Mu Ming's body!

As he helped Mokument reshape his body, this sliver of wood essence quietly hid within him.

Although Emperor Xuan had extracted this thread of wood power, Jiang Yun was still unsure if there was any other wood power left within his own body.

However, he still bowed to the Emperor Xuan and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The Emperor turned to leave, but then stopped and said: "By the way, this military competition is also a good opportunity for promotion. Don't give up."

Ginger shook her head and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to make it!"

The Emperor smiled slightly. "Rest assured, I've already delayed both the passage to the forbidden zone and the military competition for you. You will definitely make it in time!"

But you'd best hurry.

"Alright, Ginger Cloud, I'll be waiting for your good news!"

After uttering those words, Emperor Xuan's figure vanished without a trace., they reprimanded him severely.And as he was leaving, the man also gave him a storage device filled with heavenly stones.By the time the cultivator came to his senses, the other party had already lef...
