Chapter 425: Ancient Desolate Realm >

ome squads of a thousand people were assigned to missions, but with that number, when they returned and split the spoils evenly, each person could only gain ten military merits.Needless to say, if Jia...Evidently, Bai Ze's long silence was spent pondering the questions about this world, and now it clearly has the answers.

Ginger Cloud was also very eager to understand the situation in this world, but there were still Xiao's father and son in front of him, so he hurriedly said, "Wait a moment."

As for the reason why Xiao Yun said this, Jiang Yun knew it well. He just wanted to invite her to be the shrine maiden of Xiaocun, helping them tame beasts.

As for the beast fighting tournament, it was previously mentioned in the midst of that thicket. It's not hard to guess that it involves various tribes bringing out their own domesticated beasts to compete against each other.

Anyway, I don't have anywhere else to go. And the key to getting recognition from the Mirage Tower is to help all kinds of beasts. So staying in Xiao Village as a priest and helping them tame beasts would be a win-win situation.

Therefore, Ginger Cloud didn't wait for Xiao Yun to finish his words and nodded directly: "No problem, I'll stay in your village temporarily!"

"Besides, Village Chief Xiao, I'm a bit tired. I wonder if there is a quieter place. I want to rest for a while."

Jiang Yun agreed so readily, that the Xiao father and son were instantly stunned, a little unable to react.

To know, inviting outsiders to serve as attendants will inevitably require a certain payment.

In their opinion, since Ginger Cloud was able to kill Liu Gongfeng from Kimura in one fell swoop, the reward for keeping him would naturally be higher.

But before they even got to specify the compensation, Jiang Yun had already agreed.

“This…”

Xiao Yun was momentarily speechless, but Xiao Wangjie reacted quickly and hurriedly nodded. “We were so caught up in our joy that we forgot our senior had traveled far and must be tired. Of course there's a place to rest, senior, please follow me.”

Ginger Cloud immediately stood up and bid farewell, following Xiao Wangjie into a small hut near the back mountain.

Although the furnishings inside are a bit simple, they are quite clean.

"Senior, I apologize for the inconvenience of having you stay here temporarily. Once we've tidied up the houses on the hillside, we'll arrange a better place for you."

"Great!"

Jiang Yun nodded and went to the bed in the room, sitting cross-legged.

"If any seniors have any orders, just speak up!"

Xiao Wangjie tactfully shut the gate, retreated outside, and called a young man to stand guard at the door, ready to attend to Jiang Yun's every command.

After finishing all of this, Xiao Wangjie returned to the tree and looked at his father.

Xiao Yun's face was no longer smiling, replaced by a solemn expression. "Having four strange beasts, being skilled in alchemy, powerful, decisive in killing, and so young, such a person is probably the descendant of a Daoist sect!"

"Dao Clan!"

Hearing these two words, Xiao Wangjie's face changed instantly and he said, "It's impossible! There is only the Xia family in the Daoist sect of the entire Nanman land!"

And the Xia family members all took pride in their own clan. Even when they went out to travel and hone their skills, they wouldn't change their names or surnames!

Xiao Yun looked up at his son and said, "Although there is only the Xia family among the Daoist clans on the land of Nanman, what about the Daoist clans in the other four regions!"

"Judging from his appearance, he doesn't seem to be from the Nanman region. He must be from somewhere else."

Xiao Wangjie smiled bitterly and said, “Other regions, according to recent rumors about the Central Earth, are millions of miles away from our Nanman land. How could he possibly have come here”

Xiao Yunzheng said solemnly, “Our Xiao family, besides the first-generation ancestor, has never left the Numan land throughout generations. What we have seen and heard is limited, so our vision is short-sighted, like a frog at the bottom of a well. What we cannot do does not mean others cannot.”

When scolded like this by his father, Xiao Wangjie retorted somewhat unconvinced: "Anyway, I can't imagine how he managed to cross this distance of millions of miles!"

Xiao Yun frowned and said, “Don't forget what the ancestor said, our world may be in the belly of a giant beast. Can you imagine that”

"Could it be that you think our ancestor deliberately deceived us!"

Seeing his father bring out the Ancestor, Xiao Wangjie dared not speak any further, he lowered his head and closed his mouth.

Xiao Yun sighed and said, "Wang Jie, no matter what, since this person is willing to stay with us, we must treat him with courtesy and spare no effort to satisfy any of his demands!"

"My time is running out. I was originally worried about the safety of my family after I leave, but his arrival might be a stroke of luck for our Xiao family!"

Xiao Wangjie hurriedly raised his head and said, "Father, your illness hasn't really flared up in all these years, so it definitely won't be a major issue. Besides, the Hundred Families Gathering is just around the corner in a few days. By then, I'll bring enough spirit stones and will definitely invite a highly skilled doctor for you."

Xiao Yun shook his head, said nothing, and Xiao Wangjie fell silent for a moment before asking, "Father, what about Kimura"

"It's fine not to mention Kimura, but once you mention him, Xiao Yun couldn't help but glare fiercely at his son and said: 'Before, you shouldn't have stopped Jiang Dao from making a move to kill Mukuo!' "

"Kill Mu Congsheng, even if Mu Wanchun suspects us from Xiao Village, without concrete evidence, he will have to weigh his options. But now you let Mu Congsheng escape back, he will definitely bring people back!"

"Things have come to this, and there's nothing else we can do but hope that this formation can continue to hold them off for a while."

Xiao Yun's gaze fell on the formation at the entrance of the valley. Ginger Cloud was unaware that this naturally occurring formation was about to collapse.

"As long as we can persevere until the gladiatorial games, then perhaps this crisis can be resolved."

As Xiao Yun's words fell, both father and son fell silent.

At this moment, Jiang Yun, after setting up the isolation formation, was just about to ask Bai Ze when Su Yang's voice rang out first: "Master, the old slave has something to report!"

"Confess What's wrong with you"

"I am but a wisp of my former self, clinging to existence. I was on the verge of annihilation until my master took pity on me and allowed me refuge within this lamp, enabling me to survive."

But before that, in order to send the master away from this world, the old slave spent a lot of energy, so now I need to sleep for a while and can't serve the master temporarily.

Su Yang's voice was filled with sincerity, apology, helplessness, and self-justification.

If someone unfamiliar with the situation were to see him, they would surely believe he was a loyal servant to Jiang Yun.

Although Jiang Yun knew Su Yang's character, he was still a little surprised to hear that he was going to fall asleep.

He had originally thought that with Su Yang becoming a spirit, he would have gained another powerhouse at the Heaven's Blessing Realm. But unexpectedly, he was going to fall into slumber.

But this is also unavoidable. It should be extremely taxing on the mind for him to remain conscious in that world back then.

"Just sleep, don't worry about me!"

"Thank you, master, for your understanding. Please rest assured, once this old servant awakens, I will dedicate myself to serving you wholeheartedly until my death."

"Go to sleep!"

Only after seeing Su Yang fall asleep with her own eyes did Jiang Yun let out a breath of relief, and immediately couldn't wait to ask Bai Ze: "Bai Ze, what on earth is going on in this world"

"But Bai Ze didn't answer, instead he asked, “Is that apparition trustworthy”

Su Yang didn't know about Bai Ze's existence, but Bai Ze did know that Su Yang had entered the Wuyan Puppet Lamp.

Moreover, he had a strong hostility towards Su Yang.

After all, Su Yang, like him, is also a powerhouse at the Heavenly Blessing Realm.

"I don't know either, but at least for now, he doesn't seem to have any ill intentions towards me. Anyway, he's in the lamp and can't leave without my permission. Well, let's not worry about him anymore, you better tell me what happened."

Bai Ze took a deep breath, as if to suppress his excitement.

Even so, his voice still trembled slightly: "This world, if I'm not mistaken, should be the ancient chaotic wasteland!"
