he could sense divine consciousness, he still didn't know what had happened within that domain gate.It's even impossible to say how Wu Shang managed to acquire the qualifications to enter the Domain...At this very moment, Jiang Yun had half his body already stepped into the vortex, and this vortex, like a teleportation portal, meant he had entered the forbidden zone.

The sudden surge of danger in her heart, however, made Jiang Yun immediately withdraw from the vortex without hesitation.

Ginger Yun has always been confident in her own intuition.

He has also saved his life many times by relying on this intuition.

This time, the same!

Even before his body had fully exited the vortex, he could distinctly feel a terrifying power surging from the other end of it, striking his calf with a sudden impact.

Jian Yun gritted her teeth, making a decisive decision. She not only waved her hand to sever her own leg, but also crushed the token in her hand!

The token shattered, the vortex vanished instantly, and that terrifying power was naturally cut off.

Looking at the broken token and bloody wound in his hand, Jiang Yun's face darkened.

This token was given to Gu Sansong by himself. He said that as long as he opened the token anywhere within the Four Realms' hidden grounds, it would allow him to enter the forbidden zone.

Then Gus would personally come and escort himself.

But now, just as he was about to enter the forbidden zone, someone was clearly waiting for him there, and they were going to kill him.

Logically speaking, the person who attacked himself would most likely be Gu San, but Jiang Yun didn't suspect Gu San at all.

After all, Gu San's loyalty to his master couldn't have been faked.

Besides, Gu San has wanted to kill himself countless times already. He's been dead so many times that there's no need to wait until now.

After a moment of silence, Ginger Cloud softly uttered two words from his mouth: "Emperor!"

Within the forbidden zone, the only one who can kill you is an emperor!

Moreover, knowing the specific restricted area to which this token issued by Gǔ Sāns leads and being able to release such an attacker could only be an Emperor or someone sent by an Emperor.

As for why the Emperor wanted to kill him, Jiang Yun wasn't hard-pressed to guess. It was because he was his master's disciple.

I had already thought of that.

Master is venerable, the most venerable among the ancients. While the Emperor, though a powerful ancient emperor, might surpass Master in strength, his prestige and status in the hearts of the ancient people are absolutely inferior to Master's.

If the Emperor and Zun Gu could work together, they could naturally coexist peacefully, and even allow the ancient times to become even greater.

If one person is not satisfied with this unequal identity, then the two of them must have one die.

Furthermore, when we first entered the forbidden zone, both I and Gu San saw with our own eyes that the Emperor's most trusted confidants were walking together with Yan Tianqi, the leader of the celestial generals from Outside Heaven.

To such an extent that even Gusandū believed the Di-zūn used Yantianqī's hands to secretly kill some ancient descendants who had a relationship with his master.

Even the master warned himself not to trust the people of old.

Then, once the Emperor knows about the existence of this ancient disciple of his, he will definitely find a way to kill me.

Thinking about this, Jiang Yun touched his brow. A four-petal flower mark slowly appeared there, and he muttered to himself: "It seems that Senior Gu San has already told the Emperor about my master and this mark."

Jiang Yun's guess was right!

Although Ginger Cloud had once warned Gu San, telling him that he must not reveal anything related to his master to anyone in the Forbidden Land, especially the Emperor.

But Gusān was rather old-fashioned. Having served alongside Zēngǔ before, after Zēngǔ left, he devoted himself to seclusion, with limited experience and exposure to the world. He even lacked much guile.

Even though he knew that the Emperor's trusted confidant and Yan Tianqi were colluding, and that the Emperor was planning to completely eradicate forces loyal to the ancient times from the empire, there was still a glimmer of hope in his heart.

He believed that since Venerable Ancient was still alive and not in any danger, as long as the news was relayed to the Emperor, there might be a chance to persuade him to stop persecuting Venerable Ancient's forces and wait for his return.

Even, he still fantasized that the Sovereign Emperor could let go of his

Ancient envy and resentment.

Just like oneself, truly respect the ancients from the heart!

That way, all the descendants of Gu would benefit and Gu would become stronger, recreating its past glory.

Therefore, he took advantage of the question about Zanggu Flower to tell the Emperor everything about Jiang Yun and Zun Gu!

To Gu Sanshin's delight, the Emperor was truly shaken after hearing it.

He not only believed what he said, but also expressed that if Jiang Yun really wanted to enter the forbidden zone, he would go with him to welcome Jiang Yun at that time.

For this reason, Gu San decisively moved the exit of the vortex to the back garden of the Imperial Palace!

When the consciousness of the Ginger Cloud Deity entered the token, Gu San immediately sensed it and notified the Emperor. The Emperor also arrived instantly.

However, the turn of events that followed was a complete surprise to him.

First, Jiang Yun's body stepped into the forbidden zone. However, just halfway in, it inexplicably retreated outward.

What he didn't expect was that as Jian Yun exited the vortex, the Emperor would make a move, and with all his might, clearly intending to kill Jian Yun!

Also thanks to Jiang Yun's quick reaction, after realizing he couldn't fully retreat in time, he immediately crushed the token. Otherwise, even if Jiang Yun didn't die now, he would probably be a cripple.

At this very moment, within the Imperial Palace's back garden, Gu Sanzheng stared at the Emperor with anger etched on his face. "Emperor," he said, "what are you doing!"

The Emperor didn't pay any attention to Gu San at all. His face was gloomy, his eyes narrowed slightly as he stared at the spot where Jiang Yun had entered but then disappeared. He muttered to himself: "Strange, how could he leave suddenly after already entering"

"Could it be that they sensed my presence"

But that's simply impossible, I've already retracted all my aura.

"Not to mention that he is just a cultivator from the mundane reincarnation realm, even some emperors in the four realms' hidden treasury might not be aware of it."

Seeing that the Emperor didn't pay him any attention, Gu San suddenly took a step forward and came right in front of the Emperor. He ignored everything else and pointed his finger at the Emperor's nose and said: "Emperor, I am talking to you!"

"Why did you just do that"

"Didn't you say that you believe everything I tell you and want to see the Ginger Cloud"

Even if you don't believe what I say, you shouldn't attack that child!

He is a disciple of Zun Gu. If he dies at your hands, Zun Gu will definitely not let you go once he returns!

Facing Gu San's string of accusations, and especially seeing Gu San's fingers almost touching the tip of his nose, a cold light flashed in the eyes of the Sovereign Emperor.

I really wish I could slap Gu San to death right now!

However, Gu San was not an ordinary descendant of the ancient people, but an emperor.

If I were to fight him directly, even if I could kill him, I would definitely be injured myself.

Moreover, among the people of the ancient era today, there is indeed a need for an emperor to support them. Killing Gu San means losing one emperor who would dedicate his life to serving them.

Therefore, the Emperor suppressed his anger and waited until Gu San finished speaking before shaking his head and sighing, "Gu San, you were deceived by that Jiang Yun!"

"What" Gus three was taken aback and then hurriedly said, "Impossible, on him, I felt the aura of the Venerable Ancient. Everything he said also matched the events related to the Venerable Ancient, absolutely impossible to deceive me!"

"Alas!" The Sovereign sighed again. "He may have met the Ancient Venerable, or perhaps, like you, he served the Ancient Venerable for a time. So, it's normal that he has some understanding of him."

If he is truly Zun Gu's disciple, then wouldn't Zun Gu, knowing he had entered the realm of Si Jing Zang, refrain from telling him about us

But the first time he saw you, he didn't even know you!

He's a con artist, and you're too naive to see through his lies.

"I'm worried that he's using you to do things that are bad for our ancient race, so I followed you to try and catch him and get some answers."issipated. It was clear that they were unable to break through the flames.This scene caused Jiang Yun's pupils to constrict slightly. He thought to himself, "Could Master Uncle's name 'Unending' refer...
