Chapter 4058: Waiting for a Rabbit in the Tree Hole

them as quickly as possible or run away immediately!"If you were killed here, no one would know, and your clan wouldn't come looking for revenge."Alright, that's all I have to say. Now let's go find t...Dongli City, although it seemed the same as usual, those who lived there year-round could clearly sense a difference. There were noticeably more guards in the city, especially at the gates.

Moreover, these extra guards didn't come from the Lord's Manor; they were unfamiliar faces. They must have been temporarily called in from elsewhere.

These guards' appearance served to intensify the questioning and scrutiny of those entering and leaving the city, especially the cultivators.

At this moment, atop a mountain outside Dongli City, an old man sat cross-legged, releasing his divine sense to silently cover the entire city of Dongli, observing every person entering and leaving.

Behind the elder stood a middle-aged man, smiling wryly and saying: "Senior Qi, Dongli City has always been a crucial transportation hub within the Four Realms' Hidden Lands, with connections in all directions."

> "The number of cultivators entering and leaving every day is enormous. Wanting to pass through here, monitoring it to find Jiang Yun would be like looking for a needle in a haystack!"

The old man said with a serious expression: "The Great Emperor said that the outsider who appeared from the mirage tribe should be Jiang Yun."

Although the emperor didn't find Jiang Yun, Jiang Yun definitely wouldn't dare to stay in the Mirage Clan any longer. He would definitely leave and go to other places.

The middle-aged man nodded and said: "Even if Ginger Cloud is leaving the Mirage Clan, there are more than just Dongli City as passages to other places. How did the Emperor determine that he would come here"

The elder continued, "The Four Realms have always been closed off and never opened. Yet, Jiang Yun appears in the Mirage Clan, which means he must have entered through a special channel—a hidden realm within the Four Realms."

The Great Emperor personally investigated, from the beginning of the Four Realms' closure to now, a total of three times the special passageways hidden within the Four Boundaries have been opened, each located in a different place.

Among them, there was a passage near Dongli City.

"And the mountain spirits and the Siren women, they have indeed visited this Dongli City. Therefore, the Great Emperor believes he is very likely to come here again."

Either he would leave from here to go somewhere else, or it's highly probable that he would return to the Realm of Chaos from here.

The man frowned and said, "Didn't the emperor investigate who passed through the passage near Dongli City into the Four Realms at that time"

Of course I did!

The old man replied, “At that time, it was the young masters of all the families who opened the passage. It was his son, Zhu Cang, who entered the Four Realms Treasury.”

"Since each faction has a powerful ruler, it is not convenient to investigate further before concrete evidence is available."

All in all, we're just sitting here waiting for something to happen.

If you can meet Jiang Yun, it's naturally best. If not, it's just a waste of time.

"Speaking of which, the old man turned his head and looked at the man, saying: "Starling Well, the reason why I tell you so much is because this time whether we can catch Ginger Cloud, your Star Clan plays a very important role."

After all, Ginger Cloud is skilled at changing appearances and even auras. It's possible to mistake them for a demon, and even if they pass right in front of us, we might not recognize them.

Only your Star Clan can determine his identity through the Imperial Artifact he stole.

Therefore, if you can capture Jiang Yun this time, your Xing Clan will be credited as the first contributor. Afterward, your Xing Clan will inevitably come into the Emperor's sight.

Upon hearing this, a light instantly shone in the man's eyes. He bowed to the elder and said, "Senior Qi, please rest assured, our Star Clan will definitely not disappoint the Emperor's expectations."

However, if that Ginger Cloud were to discard or give away the imperial artifact they are trying to steal, then I'm afraid we would be powerless to stop them.

The old man nodded and said, "The Great Emperor is not a unreasonable person. We just need to do our best. If we really haven't met him, the Great Emperor won't be angry."

After finishing his words, the elder stopped speaking. The man also closed his mouth and spread out his divine sense, carefully paying attention to everything around him.

Of course, these two were the people that Gingercloud had sent to investigate the events after wiping out the Starfall Pavilion within the ruins.

The elder's name was Qi Sicheng, from the Cang Lao Hui. He was a powerful Heavenly Venerable killed by Jiang Yun, and the older brother of Qi Siyuan, an imperial-level expert.

The middle-aged man's name was Xing Lingjing, he was a member of the Xing clan, and a powerful Tianzun.

That day, Qi Sicheng learned about Jiang Yun's annihilation of the Xingmingle Pavilion through the mirror of time. After reporting the matter, Lao Zang ordered the sealing of the Four Disordered Realms and the ruins, secretly searching for Jiang Yun and Gu Bingyan's whereabouts.

These days, they have almost searched the entire Chaos Realm and Ruins, but there has been no harvest.

Just then, Emperor Xing received news about Jiang Yun from the Mirage Clan and decided to visit them himself.

Although Emperor Xing ultimately failed to find Jiang Yun, Emperor Xing believed that Jiang Yun must be hiding within the Mirage Clan and dared not continue to stay there.

So, he summoned Qi Sicheng back, having them monitor the area near Dongli City to see if they could find any trace of Jiang Yun.

Now, those unfamiliar guards that have appeared in Dongli City are actually members of the Star Clan disguised as such.

And the reason for choosing Xingzu as the main force to find Jiangyun is because Xingyi's father, the elder of Xingzu, driven by hatred, actually came up with a way.

This method cannot directly locate Jiang Yun, but it can use a simple talisman to sense the imperial artifact that Jiang Yun stole from the Star Clan. As long as that artifact is still on Jiang Yun, finding the artifact will naturally lead to finding Jiang Yun.

The StarClan also highly valued this opportunity and sent a large number of Clanmates.

Finding Jiang Yun not only allows us to avenge the destruction of Xing Yi, Xing Ning, and Xing Yin Pavilion, but also gives us access to Cang Lao's perspective. It's a win-win situation.

I have to say, Emperor Xing's deduction was extremely accurate.

Jiang Yun not only left the Mirage Clan, but was truly heading towards Dongli City.

At this moment, Gingercloud is sitting on the small boat given to her by Yuan Kui, traveling through the air.

Although this small boat's speed can't compare to Jiang Yun's own flying, it's better at conserving strength, and he can even meditate and cultivate on it.

The little boat doesn't need manual operation, just add Diyuan Stone and control the direction, it can fly by itself, very convenient.

Ginger Cloud wasn't in a hurry now, so she let the small boat drift towards Dongli City. She used this opportunity to think about some things.

Of course, the first thing he thought about was the safety of the Mirage Clan.

Although Jiang Hao had given him his word again and again, how could he truly let go of his worries

Therefore, he pondered just as Emperor Xuanyuan had thought, whether he should wait until reaching the Heaven Beyond Heaven to see his parents, or go back to the Forbidden Land first.

However, even if he were truly going to the forbidden land, he wouldn't use the token Su Qianchen had given him. He was going to go to the heart of the forbidden land himself.

After all, he certainly didn't want to be the only one whose soul could enter the forbidden zone.

Besides the safety of the mirage clan, he also carefully looked over that dream fruit.

He truly didn't expect that his grandfather would leave him a Dream Fruit.

To be honest, he occasionally has a flash of impulse, wanting to swallow the dream fruit and see where it would take him, if he could even meet Tie Ruonan! Of course, this impulse is always dispelled by himself as soon as it appears.

Unless he was desperate, he would never swallow a dream fruit.

After contemplating all of these matters, Jiang Yun's attention finally focused on what he needed to do next.

Jiang Haochu's guess was right, Jiang Yun was going to see his own parents! Although Jiang Yun knew that, not to mention rescuing his parents, whether he could even see them was a mystery, since he was already in the Four Realms Hidden, he had to go see them no matter what.

"Heavens Beyond Heavens, just hearing the name evokes a sense of longing. An uninformed person might assume it to be some wondrous place, but who could have imagined that it's actually a prison!"

In this way, after more than ten days, Ginger Cloud's divine consciousness finally saw Dongli City.

Although it was still tens of thousands of zhang away from Dongli City, Jiang Yun had already stood up, put away his small boat, and prepared to fly into Dongli City himself.

But just at that moment, a sliver of danger, unexpectedly arose from Jiang Yun's heart.t even bother to care what it was. He directly raised his hand and slapped out a palm strike in mid-air.Huoyun's expression changed drastically, and he glared fiercely at Mushaolong: "As expected of s...
