Chapter 247: Like a Beggar

e, Jiang Yun's strength was indeed getting stronger and stronger.As for the reason, he was also clueless.The only thing he felt more than anyone else was that he didn't seem to be fighting Ginger Clou...Something that came out of nowhere hit Ginger Cloud, causing her expression to change drastically.

Because his divine consciousness was always vigilant, covering the surroundings, even so, the appearance of this thing, he and Han Mingyi Bat did not perceive it at all.

If this thing is a weapon, then I'm either dead or seriously injured right now!

Thinking of this, Jiang Yun couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine. At the same time, he cautiously looked at the thing that had fallen to the ground.

It was a stone the size of a finger.

Looking at this stone, Ginger Cloud slightly startled and said, "Formation Stone!"

This is clearly a stone tablet containing some kind of magical formation!

In the depths of this ice cave, near the ring of nine snow formations, a formation stone appeared.

Before Gingercloud could recover, another white mist suddenly appeared before him. It twisted for a while and gradually transformed into a middle-aged man in white.

"Snow, Snow senior!"

Looking at this middle-aged man, Jiang Yun couldn't help but be astonished again.

Because the other party, it turned out to be Xue Mu Cheng again.

At this moment, Xue Mu Cheng’s face was adorned with a smile of approval as he nodded toward Jiang Yun with an amiable air. "I didn't expect you to still recognize me; I am Xue Mu Cheng!"

“Little one, since you managed to come here, it means you're destined to be connected with my Xue Clan and this Nine Snow Chain Formation.”

"So, I've decided to give you this spirit stone. Just crush it, and you can return here at any time, anywhere. This will allow you to continue studying the Nine Snows Linked Formation and enhance your mastery of formations."

After hearing Xue Mu's words, Jiang Yun still said in a daze: "You, could it be another wisp of divine consciousness left behind by Senior Xue"

"Not bad!" Xue Mu Cheng nodded. "I left a sliver of my divine consciousness here, just waiting for the arrival of someone destined."

"Obviously, you are the person I've been waiting for!"

Xuemucheng's figure suddenly began to blur, as if it were about to dissipate.

Ginger hastily said, "Wait! Senior Xue, why did you set up a Nine Snow Consecutive Formation here"

"I have hidden a treasure here, a treasure that any cultivator who obtains it can immediately ascend to the next level!"

"As long as you break through this Nine Snow Chain Formation, the treasure will be yours!"

Speaking of this, Xue Mu Cheng even shot a mysterious smile at Jiang Yun and said: "Little fellow, pick up the array stones, don't let me down, oh! I'll be waiting for you here!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Xue Muceng's figure vanished without a trace, leaving only Jiang Yun standing there in stunned silence.

After a long while, he shifted his gaze back to the stone tablet on the ground and frowned slightly: “It’s strange that Senior Xue would leave two strands of divine consciousness, one guarding the Lìhuǒ Xuě Palace, and the other guarding this Jiǔxuě Liánhuán Array.”

"Furthermore, if there's a treasure that can allow any cultivator to achieve enlightenment in a single step, why not leave it for the Xue Clan instead of hiding it here Could it be that they're afraid of it being stolen"

"Even if you're afraid of others snatching it, you can put this treasure in the Ice and Snow Palace and have a sliver of your divine consciousness guard it. Why go through so much trouble"

Although there was some confusion in his heart, Jiang Yun didn't think too much about it. He could only consider this as Xue Mocheng being overly cautious, hence leaving a sliver of divine consciousness behind to prepare for both possibilities.

He shook his head and Jiang Yun reached out to pick up the stone from the ground.

Looking back once more at the pitch-black depths, he turned and walked back the way he came, with the cold Shadewing Bat on his shoulder.

Jiang Yun didn't know that after he left the Wan Zhang Shui Yu, Xue Mu Cheng's figure materialized again. After a moment of distortion, he transformed into a young man wearing a silver Taoist robe, no bigger than a palm.

Watching Jiang Yun leave, the man sneered and said, "As long as you crush that stone tablet, my aura will spread. By then, my father will surely sense it!"

Even if Father can't sense it, I don't believe you can withstand this formation and the allure of the treasure. As long as you break the formation, I can completely rely on my own power to leave here!

"Xue Mu Cheng, you have imprisoned me for thousands of years. In time, I will make you and your Snow Clan pay the price for this!"

As his voice trailed off, the man's form suddenly exploded.

But in the deepest part of the Nine Snow Chain Formation, on that phantom man atop the snow mound, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

The blurry, text-like symbols that surrounded him, began to fade quickly.

If Jiang Yun could see this symbol, then he would recognize it.

This symbol, indeed, is a word, and it is the very "Dao" character that gets imprinted onto any object he takes out from the sea of stone after his transformation.

A mouthful of fresh blood spurted out, and this man's illusory form trembled violently, like a candle in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment.

And this also made the ferocity on his face even stronger: "I hate it so much, I, a dignified Dao son, would actually end up in such a state!"

After finishing this sentence, a sinister smile suddenly appeared on the man's face in addition to his ferocity. "Come on, little human," he said.

"If you can break this formation and set me free, then as a reward, I will take your body and allow you to ascend in one step, living forever!"

"Pfft!"

As his words fell, the man's illusory form finally transformed into a wisp of blue smoke, disappearing into the snow-covered mound beneath him.

And this ten thousand zhang deep sea once again restored its calm.

……

Ginger Cloud surged forward with all its might, finally bursting out of the ice cave.

At this moment, the outside world is still night. Snowflakes are falling from the sky, just like it was before he entered the ice cave.

Looking back into the icy water of the cave, this month's experience felt like a dream.

If it wasn't for the stone still clutched tightly in his hand, Jiang Yunzhen would have almost thought he was dreaming.

Shaking his head, Jiang Yun put away the formation stone and the cold-blooded bat wing, then took out the formation stone given to him by his grandfather that could lead to Tian Yao City.

Now that the Snow Clan has left, and Wan Yao Ku won't let Jiang Yun go, staying here for another moment would mean facing danger. Therefore, Jiang Yun is preparing to head to Tian Yao City first.

But just as he was about to crush the formation stone, his expression suddenly changed. He raised his head, scanned the surroundings, and with a cold face, said: "Since you're here, don't hide!"

As Jiang Yun's words fell, countless figures emerged from the snow all around.

But looking at these figures, Jiang Yun's eyes narrowed slightly.

Just a moment later, his brow furrowed involuntarily, and the coldness on his face was instantly replaced by doubt.

In Jiangyun's estimation, at this time, hiding in the valley that originally belonged to the Xue clan, what awaited him would inevitably be the demons from the Wan Yao Ku.

After all, they suffered such heavy losses in the Snow Tribe and here. Although a month is not a long time, it's enough for them to send another large army.

But now, looking at this very moment, standing before him were nearly a hundred figures. Yet Jiang Yun felt puzzled.

Although these demonic creatures are numerous, they appear to be from various different tribes based on their appearances. Almost all of them are young adults.

But without exception, everyone's attire was like that of a beggar.

His clothes were ragged and dirty, his hair was unkempt, his face was pale, and his skin was covered in dirt and bloodstains.

And the aura fluctuations emanating from them, Jiang Yun could easily discern that their strongest was no more than the Blessed Land Realm, while the weakest was still in the Pulse Connecting Realm.

Especially their gaze toward themselves, there was not a shred of hatred, but rather a kind of excitement, a kind of anticipation, a kind of longing.

This really baffled Ginger Cloud. Unable to figure out their identities, she could only furrow her brow and ask, "Who are you"
