Chapter 469: Change of Approach
as Jiang Yun's bold ideas surfaced in his mind, he couldn't help but want to try them out.The four-pronged sword tide suddenly rolled back into Ginger Cloud's side, forming three swirling currents, an...Li Yue clearly didn't believe it, and stammered, "She, she really is Xia Mingzhu"
Jiang Yun shrugged and said, "She said she was, and I've never seen her!"
"Ginger offering, I summon you!"
Li Yue said with a wry smile, "Sometimes I really wonder if you're from our world."
Having been suspected of his origins twice in a single day, Jiang Yun could only smile wryly and say, "Is she really that famous"
Li shouted, "It's not just about being famous! Xia Mingzhu is the number one beauty in our Nanman land. I don't know how many men want to have a taste of her beauty. You, you actually don't know!"
"The first beauty!" Jiang Yun nodded. "She is indeed beautiful!"
For Ginger Cloud's bland response, Li Yue was utterly speechless. He simply stopped talking and turned his gaze to the battlefield in the distance, which was still raging on.
Xiao Yun and his son, along with Xiao Fu, are fighting hard against Qian Jin!
Actually, after Master Feng used an array to trap Qian Jin, Xiao Fu could have killed him several times. However, Jiang Yun had secretly instructed him to let the Xiao Yun family personally deal with Qian Jin, which is why it dragged on until now.
Suddenly, Xiao Wangjie slammed his palm into Qian Jin's chest, sending the latter staggering and vomiting blood before collapsing to the ground. His eyes widened in terror as he stared at the two figures before him.
Qian Jin opened his mouth wide, clearly wanting to surrender, but Xiao Yun didn't give him a chance at all. He stepped forward and delivered another palm strike, finally killing him completely.
Silently, Xiao Yun stared at the corpse of Jin for a long while before turning to face Xiaofu. He bowed deeply to Xiaofu, of course realizing that Xiaofu had deliberately let him take revenge with his own hands.
Then, he bowed deeply to Ginger Cloud.
To this point, he had finally personally avenged his hatred.
Jiang Yun nodded, but silently absorbed the life sparks of these corpses into the Wuyan Puppet Lamp.
In the Netherworld, Jiang Yun had already consumed all the life fire within his lamp in order to block Yu Xuan's sword. He couldn't find an opportunity to replenish it.
As another trump card, Ginger Cloud urgently needed to increase the life fire in the lamp.
Then, Ginger Cloud raised his hand and threw a small creature the size of a rat to Xiao Fu: “Give it to you, make it listen!”
Of course, that was the phantom rat. When Xiao Fu heard this, his small eyes suddenly lit up and he glared fiercely at the phantom rat.
Though a chimera, this little phantom rat is quite weak. Facing Xiao Fu's cold gaze, it could only curl up its body.
"Alright, let's continue on our journey!"
As for the corpses lying on the ground, Jiang Yun didn't even bother to destroy them after taking their storage devices.
Because in his mind, the Qian family was already equivalent to disappearing.
With everyone and the beasts back inside, the Overcast Sky was once again under Gingercloud's control. It continued to move towards the location of the Beast Arena where the event would be held.
The rest of the journey, the lone traveler did not encounter any ambushes.
It wasn't until three days after leaving the place of battle that Jiang Yun encountered four men who were in a panic. They were dressed in similar attire and stopped him under the gloomy sky, asking if he had seen a woman.
Ginger knew they were looking for Xia Mingzhu, but since Xia Mingzhu had instructed him before leaving, he shook his head.
These people did not make things difficult for him, and they left in a hurry.
As for this matter, Ginger Cloud merely treated it as a minor anecdote and didn't take it to heart at all.
Finally, after nearly another month had passed, Li Yue excitedly stood up and said, “Ginger offering, ahead is the city of Xia!”
Xia City, established by the Xia family, is where the Beast Fighting Tournament takes place.
To be honest, even Ginger Cloud who had seen a lot of the world, felt deeply shocked when he saw Xia City from afar.
It's more like a country than a city!
Although it is far away, from afar, this city looks like a monstrous beast, lying on the earth.
The area of this city is unimaginably vast.
According to Li Yue, it could accommodate at least tens of millions of living beings inside. Even a giant beast hundreds of meters tall wouldn't feel cramped within the Holy City.
However, Xiacun was not built all at once but rather grew to its current grand scale through countless renovations and expansions.
It is clear that one of the main reasons for building it so large was for gladiatorial combats.
"Here we are, finally!"
Everyone else stood up as well, looking out at the distant summer city. Every face was filled with excitement and awe.
Although they have been famous here for ages, they never expected to actually visit this place in their lifetime.
Even if I don't participate in the gladiatorial games, just being able to see this summer city with my own eyes would be worth it.
"I really hope other members of my tribe can come see this city!"
Hearing Xiao Yun's murmured words, Jiang Yun's face showed a thoughtful expression, but soon after, he smiled faintly: "Perhaps, it might not be impossible!"
As the chatter around them grew louder, they drew closer to Xia Cheng. At this moment, Jiang Yun, soaring above the throng, spotted a dazzling array of aerial vehicles.
Some were large ships, some were square rugs, and some were hordes of strange beasts, making it a dizzying sight.
Obviously, these people are various tribes from the land of Nanman, just like Jiang Yun and his group, who came here to participate in the Beast Fighting Competition.
However, when they were still thousands of miles away from Xia City, a heavy sense of oppression appeared in the sky ahead, forcing the dark clouds to gather and stop them.
Li Yue explained, "There is no permission. Within ten thousand miles of Xia City, flying is prohibited!"
From this point of view, Xia Jia's domineering nature is also evident, truly worthy of being a descendant of the Dao Clan.
Ginger nodded and said, "Then let's go down!"
Not only Jiang Yun, but all the flying vehicles in the sky landed on the ground. The cultivators inside also came out and walked along the very wide road towards Xia City.
Jiang Yun discovered that most of the groups carried their spirit beasts, yet none were kept outside. They all remained inside like he had kept his within the Cloudy Sky.
Evidently, they also have similar artifacts that can house the beasts.
Jiang Yun's gaze kept scanning the surroundings, looking at the cultivators dressed in various styles. It was quite an eye-opener.
He never expected that there would be so many cultivators in this ancient desolate realm, and they were all humans.
However, he also wanted to see if he could find a familiar face in the crowd.
He believes that besides himself, his fellow disciples and even people like Gui Li might have also come to this world.
Not to mention Gingercloud, even Xiao Yun, those native inhabitants who were born and raised in this realm, wore expressions of astonishment, as if they wished they had more eyes.
Only Li Yue remained calm, as he had already visited Xiac City once with Kimura during the previous beast fighting competition. This time was like a nostalgic revisit to familiar ground.
Have you heard Rumor has it that this year's gladiatorial combat will be different from previous years.
Just then, the low murmur of two burly men talking in the distance caught Jiang Yun's attention. He pricked up his ears and listened intently.
"Never heard of it. What could be different Isn't every gladiatorial tournament just a platform where people challenge each other one by one"
Yes, this method hasn't changed, but the top ten chosen this time won't be competing against each other. Instead, they will be decided in a different way to determine the ultimate winner.
What way
It is said that...
By this point, the burly man had switched to telepathy, and Jiang Yun expanded his divine sense to its limit before faintly hearing two words—Daojian!
