Chapter 4282: The Deputy General Confirmed

ord be so weak!Before his thoughts could even finish turning, nine black swords appeared within the exploding black mist. These were slightly shorter than the previous black swords!Above the nine blac...Jiang Yun originally thought it was really Mo Ze who wanted to find himself and chat with him about the matter of being a general, but unexpectedly, the one who really wanted to see him turned out to be Leng Yichen.

At this moment, Mo Ze stood beside Leng Yichen, his head bowed low, as if he had done something wrong and didn't dare to look at Jiang Yun.

And Leng Yichen gazed at Jiang Yun. Although there was no expression on his face, his body released the pressure of a quasi-emperor powerhouse, directly covering Jiang Yun.

It seems that as long as Ginger Cloud's answer doesn't satisfy him, he will unceremoniously kill her on the spot.

However, Leng Yichen also discovered that under his own pressure, Jiang Yun did not show any unbearable appearance.

Not even his face twitched, as if he didn't feel the slightest bit of pressure.

This is also the reality!

The pressure released by Xi Xiu was oppressive, crushing the cultivators' physical bodies.

But Jiang Yun's physical body was extremely strong, and besides, he had endured the pressure of an emperor.

Therefore, with only the imperial strength that Leng Yichen possesses, the level of pressure he released couldn't threaten Jiang Yun.

Right now, Jiang Yun is thinking about whether Leng Yichen truly realized his identity or if he was deliberately trying to deceive him.

Although Leng Yichen is someone the Emperor wants to protect, that doesn't mean Jiang Yun can trust him.

Even, between Jiang Yun and Leng Yichen, can be said to be in a state of antagonism.

After all, Ginger Cloud's true purpose in coming to Heaven Beyond Heaven is to find his parents and save them.

And Leng Yichen, being the Heavenly Marshal of Tiangwai Tian, was in charge of all prisoners. Of course, he couldn't agree to Jiang Yun rescuing his parents.

However, Jiang Yun also knew in his heart that the old Fan Xiao was too weak and incompetent. Compared with the current Fan Xiao, they were simply worlds apart. Anyone who saw what he had done would have doubts.

After a moment's pause, Jiang Yun replied calmly and respectfully, "My subordinate is foolish and does not know what Your Majesty means by these words"

"His subordinate's name is Fan Xiao, hailing from the Fan clan of Nanyang. Since joining Tianwai Tian, he has served for over three hundred years."

"As for all the information pertaining to my subordinates, I believe that both Heaven and Earth hold detailed records. My Lord can compare them with what I have provided for verification."

"If the adults find today's Fan Xiao different from previous ones, then the subordinate has already explained it to Mo Tian."

When one is weak, subordinates can only choose to lie low. But once one has strength, subordinates are no longer content with obscurity and forever being just a small guard.

After hearing Jiang Yun's words, Leng Yichen fell silent for a moment before suddenly raising his hand and striking towards Jiang Yun with a palm strike in mid-air.

Ginger Yun knew very well that Leng Yichen was trying to test her true abilities!

Gingercloud raised her hand without hesitation, meeting Leng Yichen's palm.

"Bang!"

Their palms met, and the earth beneath Ginger Cloud's feet shattered instantly. Ginger Cloud sank directly into the ground from his calves down.

Leng Yichen retracted his palm, gazed at Jiang Yun for a moment, and then slowly opened his mouth: "I don't care who you are, nor do I know that you didn't use your full strength just now. But the strength you displayed is enough to qualify for the position of lieutenant general."

Jiang Yun bowed to Leng Yichen with a fist salute and said, "Thank you, sir!"

With Leng Yichen's words, Jiang Yun knew that his position as the deputy general was practically confirmed.

Leng Yichen waved his hand, sat down in Mo Ze's seat and said, "Alright, the important business is over, so next, let's talk about personal matters!"

"I heard from Mo Ze that you have a way to protect me in the big match."

Now, I'm curious, what exactly are you going to do

For Leng Yichen to ask this question, Jiang Yun was not surprised.

He knew Mo Ze was incredibly loyal to Leng Yi Chen, so he would naturally tell Leng Yi Chen about his own affairs.

However, unexpectedly, Leng Yichen would directly ask her again.

Jiang Yun charged toward Leng Yi Chen with a fist salute and said, "My lord, it wasn't that I intentionally kept things from you, but some matters, if spoken of prematurely, might lose their effectiveness."

About Yan Tianqi and the Emperor's collusion, Ginger Cloud naturally couldn't tell others. That way, he would be exposing himself as well.

"Oh" Leng Yichen raised an eyebrow, his face expressionless. "If you don't say now, then I guess for a very long time, you won't need to say it anymore."

Ginger Yun frowned slightly and said, "What do you mean, sir"

Leng Yichen closed his eyes and leaned back against the chair, saying nothing. Mo Ze, who had been standing silently with his head bowed all along, finally looked up at Jiang Yun and said: "The competition will be suspended for a long time!"

Jiang Yun hesitated for a moment and said, "My lord, since I am already a deputy general, shouldn't I be qualified to know about some things"

Mo Ze didn't answer immediately, but instead turned his gaze to Leng Yi Chen.

After seeing this, he gently nodded his head before changing to a telepathic voice and saying: "Blood is Eternal, trapped within the Heavenly Realm beyond Heaven for countless years, there has never been any sign of movement."

But after you defeated Lu Wenlin, Xue Wu Chang's seal loosened, and there was even a hint that it might break.

For this reason, Emperor Xing would gather all the emperor-level powerhouses from outside the heavens to suppress it.

Jiang Yun couldn't help but be a little surprised and asked, "With the Emperor Xing's strength, he couldn't even suppress that Xue Wu Chang himself"

Mazu shook his head and said, "It's not that he can't suppress it. It's just that Emperor Xing isn't good at sealing arts, and the seal was left by an emperor."

Unless the seal can be completely repaired, a cultivator must constantly infuse it with their own power to ensure that it does not deteriorate further.

As for why the Emperor who excels at sealing didn't come personally to repair the seal once more, you needn't ask, because I don't know either.

In short, the Emperor Xing and the Emperor Xuan, as emperors, could not stay in Tianwai Tian forever, using their own power to suppress Xue Wu Chang.

So, it requires all Heaven's Layers imperial-level experts and above to take turns guarding there.

Therefore, the Grand Tournament can only be temporarily postponed. As for when it will resume, it depends on when the seal can be fully repaired.

Mo Ze's explanation made Jiang Yun suddenly enlightened.

When it comes to seals, Jiang Yun knows far more than Mo Ze.

Simply put, it's like a chain that binds He Who Has No Form, preventing him from breaking free.

But now, this chain is missing a section, giving Xue Wu Chang the possibility of breaking free.

Either that, or have the person who originally made this chain come back and replace the missing part.

Either way, it can only be done by those with a certain level of strength, who temporarily act as the broken section of the chain using their own power.

Now the abnormal situation of blood is the second kind!

After a moment's hesitation, Jiang Yun said: "Master, I also have considerable knowledge of sealing techniques. Perhaps I could go and take a look at Xue Wu Chang's seal"

Although Gingercloud is not a royal-rank expert, as a deputy general now, he is skilled in sealing.

Especially when facing Lü Wenlin before, Jiang Yun even managed to slightly seal his blood-colored long sword, letting Mo Ze know that he was telling the truth.

Mo Ze was just about to nod in agreement, but Leng Yi Chen suddenly spoke up: "Even if you understand the seal left by the Great Emperor, you wouldn't be able to fill that gap."

And according to Emperor Xing and Emperor Xuan, Xue Wu Chang very likely already knows that you almost killed Lu Wenlin. He must surely harbor resentment towards you.

If you go, you might actually provoke him.

Now that both emperors have left the Heavenly Domain, what if we really provoke him and he breaks free from his seal If he escapes, none of us here would be able to control him.

Therefore, I'll wait and go later!

"Right now, you'd be better off getting familiar with the territory you're about to oversee."

Mo Ze also hurriedly said, "That's right, Lu Wenlin is the deputy general in charge of area thirty-three, which is areas thirty-four to sixty-six."

Although positions are divided into upper, middle, and lower ranks, the actual job duties remain the same. This distinction is merely for addressing purposes.

From now on, you are the Zhong-biased general, responsible for Zone 33.

Jiang Yun's heart moved. The area he wanted to enter was the back thirty-three district.

Therefore, Ginger Cloud boldly said: "Two lords, I wonder if you could let me serve as the upper or lower assistant general"

"No!" Mo Ze directly refused, "Each general earned their position through their own merits. How can they be picky and choose"

As he spoke, Mo Ze pulled out a token and tossed it to Jiang Yun: "This is the general's insignia. Go familiarize yourself with it. I've already informed one of Lu Wenlin's subordinates, a president, that they are waiting for you at the general's mansion!"

Jiang Yun took the token and said, "Sir, I wonder if I could dispatch some other guards to area thirty-three"

"Well, I can do that but perhaps not right now. You're new in your position and it wouldn't be good to cause too much disruption. Why don't we wait a bit longer"

Yes!

Jiang Yun bowed to the two people, then turned and left.

But when Jiang Yun walked out of the Heavenly General's Mansion, Mo Ze only then looked at Leng Yichen, his face full of puzzlement: "My lord, Xingdi clearly said that he would let Fan Xiao go to the thirty-third district!"er Heiyun.Just like that, Jiang Yun had slowly approached the black cloud and was about to enter it.But just at that moment, a wave of foul stench suddenly surged out from the black clouds.A whiff of...
