Chapter 1957: Crucial

gh hopes for, would betray the sect and their clan.The brawny man's face instantly contorted with anger, but he quickly regained his composure and said in a cold voice, "Didn't you hear what the Sect...Three months have passed in the blink of an eye, and tomorrow is the day the Tianxiang Clan opens the Holy Medicine Stone for testing by its members.

Such a test, the Tianxiang clan holds once every year.

Although foreign cultivators are allowed to come and observe, not many actually arrive each time.

However, this time is different!

Over the past three months, the entire Heavenly Fragrance Realm has been like a grand celebration, with a continuous influx of cultivators from various foreign races.

The quantity is far greater than ever before!

Everyone knows why this is happening.

Besides, this time the Tianxiang Clan is using this test to select those who will participate in the Southwest Desolate Region Pharmacist War soon. The other reason is that there is a foreign cultivator within the Tianxiang Realm whose reputation has spread far and wide!

This foreign cultivator is named Jiang Yun!

Although Jiang Yun had not been in the Tianxiang Realm for long, his deeds within it had already become widely circulated.

For a discarded member of the Heavenly Fragrance clan, Jiang Yun single-handedly challenged both the Heavenly Fragrance clan and the Blood Refining clan, two powerful factions. He not only held his own but also remained dominant throughout the conflict.

He oppressed the grandson of the Tianxiang Clan's elder, questioned the Tianxiang Clan's pride of heaven, and with a sword formation, he resisted the attacks of a hundred strong warriors from the Tianxiang Clan. He even single-handedly killed Lianhen of the Xuelian Clan and his father, Liancheng.

Especially the process of killing the transformed being was astonishing to all who witnessed it.

Ten steps, one sword, clean and decisive!

Therefore, many foreign cultivators had a curious heart about Ginger Cloud, and there were all sorts of rumors about his origins.

Some say he is from a powerful clan within the seven major regions of the Myriad Domains, sent out by his clan to hone his skills through travel and experience.

Some say he is a member of an upcoming hidden clan, laying the groundwork for their emergence. Therefore, he remains silent until the moment he makes his grand entrance and shocks the world.

Some say he is the sole survivor of a fallen race, now appearing strong to avenge his people.

In short, there are all kinds of statements, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false.

The more so this was the case, the more mysterious Jiang Yun became, and the more he attracted attention. That's why so many people came to the Heavenly Fragrance Realm to witness this young man with their own eyes.

This period of time, outside Tianxiang City, that remote courtyard, which had almost become a ruin, has become the most popular place in the entire Tianxiang realm.

At all times, a great number of cultivators would come here to take a look at this courtyard, which was always shrouded in sword formations.

However, no matter what their intentions were, no one dared to test the waters and charge into this sword formation to see its power. They only watched from afar, so they didn't disturb Jiang Yun.

This situation gives the Heavenly Fragrance Clan a headache.

After all, this area is not inhabited solely by Ye Younan. There are many other relatives from his clan living here as well.

But as foreign cultivators, they are guests from afar. It would not be good to drive them away or prevent them from entering.

Unable to do anything else, they had to temporarily relocate all the collateral relatives within the tribal grounds, completely emptying out that area.

As a result, foreign cultivators became even more unrestrained, brazenly occupying those vacant houses and courtyards, gathering in groups of three or five, waiting for Jiang Yun's appearance.

At this moment, Ginger Cloud did not appear. However, outside the sword formation, a middle-aged man appeared and directly entered the courtyard without any obstruction!

Autumn Leaves!

For the appearance of Ye Zhiqiu, foreign cultivators did not find it unexpected.

Since they already knew, although the entire Tianxiang clan wasn't very friendly towards Jiang Yun, at least Ye Zhiqiu was the one who had been protecting Jiang Yun from beginning to end.

Tomorrow is the day of testing, and Ye Zhiqiu will surely come to see Jiang Yun.

In the courtyard, Jiang Yun sat cross-legged without even opening his eyes. Ye Zhiqiu, without being at all polite, sat directly in front of him and said, "I truly admire you. Even under these circumstances, you can still cultivate peacefully!"

Ginger Cloud remained closed-eyed and said, “What does their arrival have to do with my retreat”

For three months, Ginger Cloud had not left the courtyard half a step and naturally knew of the arrival of those outside.

However, as long as they didn't bother him and Ye Younan, and their divine sense and vision couldn't penetrate the formation, so Jiang Yun didn't pay them any mind.

Ye Zhiqiu turned his gaze to the room protected by several isolating formations, and after a moment, he withdrew his gaze and said: "She hasn't come out yet"

"Don't worry, we'll definitely be there tomorrow!"

"For such a cold attitude, Ye Zhiqiu sighed and said, "Jiang Yun, I know you have some resentment towards my father, but he is also forced to do so. I hope you can understand."

"Just say what's on your mind, you're not one for beating around the bush!"

"Well," Ye Zhiqiu smiled wryly, shaking his head. "Do you know that refining into a ghost hasn't died!"

"I know!"

Ye Zhiqiu wasn't surprised that Ye Yun knew. He continued, "You also know that tomorrow, not only will he appear, but he will also invite several influential groups of people. His purpose, I think you understand better than me."

"En!"

Seeing Jian Yun's always lukewarm attitude, Ye Zhiqiu was truly out of patience and said, "Forget it, I'll introduce you to the distribution of forces in our Southwest Desolate Region first!"

The entire Southwest Desolate Region has nine Great General Clans, so it can actually be divided into nine major regions, with each clan occupying one.

"Each of the clans has three slave tribes under its command, governing their respective areas."

"My Tianxiang Clan territory is under the jurisdiction of the Lang Wolf Clan, therefore it is called the Lang Wolf Region."

"His three subordinate slave races were the Peach Blossom Clan, the Sky-Bearing Clan, and the Fire Lion Clan!"

"This time, among the several clans that came to the alchemy conference, there were even people from the Fire Lion Clan!"

Hearing this, Ginger Cloud finally opened her eyes.

As for the power distribution in the desolate southwest region, he was truly oblivious before. Now, hearing Ye Zhiqiu's explanation, he finally had a general idea in mind.

Of course, he also understood the purpose behind Ye Zhiqiu's words to him. It was nothing more than a reminder to be careful during his alchemy and with the Fire Lion Tribe.

How does the true strength of your Tianxiang Clan compare to that of the Fire Lion Clan

Only strong, not weak.

Then what about the gluttonous wolf clan

"Almost there!"

Jiang Yun nodded and said, "In that case, over so many years, your Tianxiang Clan has actually weakened!"

As a member of the Nine Slave Tribes of Annihilation, even at its peak, it wouldn't dare say it was comparable to the Will Tribe, but it shouldn't be too far off either.

And the earliest Sky Fragrance Clan's power was comparable to the combined might of the Nine Slave Clans. Then at least it should be the same as the Will Clan.

But now they are weaker than the Lang Clan, so in fact, the overall strength of the Tianxiang Clan has weakened.

After finishing his sentence, Gingercloud closed his eyes again.

Looking at Jiang Yun's composed expression, Ye Zhiqiu chuckled and said, "I told you so much, and all I get is that one sentence"

Then what do you still want me to say I'm not going tomorrow"

“This…”

No matter what clans come tomorrow, even if it is the Greedy Wolf clan, I will still step into your Tianxiang Clan's territory!

"Well, I also hope you and Younan can give us some surprises tomorrow. Goodbye!"

Ye Zhiqiu said no more, stood up, and walked out.

And with Ye Zhiqiu's departure, Jiang Yun opened his eyes again and looked at Ye Younan's closed chamber, a smile appearing on his face.

Tomorrow is not only crucial for Ye Younan but also for Jiang Yun.

Tomorrow will be his true debut in this desolate domain!

Tomorrow, whether he can obtain the recognition of the Tianxiang Clan and become its master will determine whether he can have his own foothold in this Desolate Domain!

Once successful, he could challenge the two royal families, rescue the Yue Ling clan, find clues about his parents, and even uncover the truth behind the annihilation of the Jie Mie clan!

A sleepless night, dawn is breaking!
