Chapter 3,379: Setting a Precedent
ebird that rushed to his face."Boom!"In the midst of the roar, the firebird exploded in an instant, transforming into a shower of sparks that dissipated into the air.And Xia Zhongxing trembled all ove...The voice of the Angel of Guardians boomed, like thunder, throughout the Celestial Domain and the Ancient Spirit Realm, causing everyone to display expressions of shock and bewilderment on their faces.
Jiang Yun, although already a rising star and having made many enemies within the Heavenly Domains, only six top-tier powerhouses truly cared about him: Xu Wu, Feng Ming, and the Gu clan.
And the angel, from beginning to end, showed no interest whatsoever in Jiang Yun.
But now, just as the Spirit Ancient Battlefield is about to end and the domain gate of the Spirit Ancient Domain is about to close, he suddenly inexplicably issued an order to apprehend Jiang Yun!
Everyone is baffled and confused, completely unable to understand why the angels would do such a thing.
To know, the Celestial Patrol lineage, why it can have a transcendent status in the myriad heavens domain, is naturally because of the powerful strength of the celestial patrol members.
But more importantly, the actions of the Xuntian lineage have always been extremely just and fair.
Firstly, the Xuntian lineage will not proactively intervene in any disputes within the myriad realms.
Secondly, if they are truly passively involved in a dispute, their own people will also be impartial and thoroughly investigate the ins and outs of the dispute. Then, they will go on to mediate the dispute.
Furthermore, if something strange happens within the Celestial Realm, the Xun Tian lineage will always take the initiative to send people to investigate and provide solutions.
Therefore, whether it's the Nine Great Heavenly Venerables or the Three Major Clans, they have all tacitly acknowledged the existence of the Xuntian lineage.
The Xuantian lineage has always remained neutral, acting as a mediator between various powers and maintaining the stability of the entire Zhetjien domain.
Otherwise, celestial venerables of that level would all be arrogant and dismissive. How could they tolerate the existence of an extraordinary lineage like the Heavenly Patrol, practically towering above them
However, at this very moment, the Heavenly Inquisitor did not give any reason and directly ordered to seal off the Ancient Spirit Realm and capture Jiang Yun.
Prior to this, he had not consulted with the other twelve powerhouses. Such a unilateral decision was unprecedented in their collective memory.
However, this approach naturally also made the twelve powerful beings feel a bit of displeasure while they were confused.
Among the twelve strong contenders, Xu Wu Tian Zun's eyes flashed with cold light. He was the first to act, his face sinking as he coldly asked, "Xun Tian, what do you mean by this"
"That Ginger Cloud is someone I have my eyes on, and he's also obtained my Illusory Void Mark. He has some connection with me."
"Even, you could say he's my disciple. You suddenly want to arrest him, shouldn't you give me a reasonable explanation"
"Not bad!" The Slaughter Sovereign continued, "Xun Tian, we've known each other for so many years, and we're not outsiders, this isn't like your style at all!"
Leiyin Tianzun, clad in a white robe, with an elegant appearance and hands clasped together, said: "Although that Jiangyun is indeed guilty of great sins, this matter does not warrant your Heavenly Patrol's intervention!"
The fourth opening belongs to the Heavenly Venerable of Myriad Illusions.
Although this man was middle-aged, his handsome features were even more alluring than those of a woman. He glanced at Xun Tian and said, "What, could it be that Jiang Yun has also killed your Xun Tian lineage"
Last but not least, even the ever-popular Fengming Tianzun, all eyes turned to the Heavenly Patrol Angel and said: "Patrol Heaven, I also need an explanation."
Although only five Heavenly Venerables were present at the opening, the gazes of other top-tier powerhouses, including Ancient Yang and four other Heavenly Venerables, were all fixed on the Angel of Patrol.
As for the heads of the Yun and Ji clans, they were top-tier powers that emerged later.
Besides, Yun was still supported by the Heavenly Guards, so although he didn't explicitly state his position, he wore a sullen expression and remained silent.
It is obvious that Xuntian's actions have already amounted to a provocation of the majesty of their twelve families, and they have crossed their bottom line. Therefore, they are temporarily united in an effort to demand an explanation from Xuntian.
There are some things that you can never set a precedent for.
Once opened, and there's a first time, then there will inevitably be a second, third...
For a moment, besides these thirteen cultivators, all the other cultivators didn't even dare to breathe.
The current situation is equivalent to twelve top-level powerhouses besieging a single Heavenly Guardian. This also makes many cultivators close to the Heavenly Guard lineage unable to help but worry for the Heavenly Guardian!
Even the most powerful Seraphim would be no match for the combined might of twelve Heavenly Venerable-level experts.
And if the archangel cannot give an answer that satisfies the twelve, then perhaps the twelve will really make a move against the archangel.
A battle between thirteen top powerhouses, no matter who wins or loses, will be a tremendous disaster for the Ten Thousand Realms.
Besides these thirteen top experts, Gu Bulao in the distance also frowned!
The old man beside him was even more puzzled, rubbing his chin with his hand and looking at Gu Bulao: "Old Gu, what is going on here"
"You just said you wanted to keep an eye on Chuntai, didn't you Do you know he wants to arrest your fourth son"
Seeing Gu Bulao completely ignore him, the old man continued to himself: "This is a bit of trouble now. The Heavenly Patrol has issued an order. If he doesn't take it back, then just the two of us definitely won't be able to protect your fourth child!"
The ancient man's eyes, though still sharp, had narrowed slightly. Although the order to patrol the heavens had come with surprising suddenness, it did not cause him much surprise.
Because he knew there was only one situation in which the Heavenly Patrol would act like this!
That is, the Heavenly Angel, knows Jian Yun's true identity!
As for Gingercloud's origins, he was also unknown even to Gu Bulao's other self before it awakened.
But when his avatar awoke, with his experience and status, coupled with the various secrets hidden within Jiang Yun's body, it was natural for him to deduce —
Ginger Cloud, is the descendant of the Ginger Clan, which was once the strongest clan in the Nine Heavens Domain!
Even, Ginger Cloud has a high possibility of being the son of Ginger Autumn Yang, the head of the Ginger clan!
Once this identity is known to the cultivators of the Zhutian Jidu, then Jiang Yun will become an enemy of everyone in the Zhutian Jidu!
Even if one had received favors from the Ginger clan in the past, on the surface, it would be impossible to stand with Ginger Yun and only become an enemy of Ginger Yun.
Even if he were ageless and could recklessly stand up to protect Jiang Yun, he would still have to bear immense pressure and there was a possibility that he wouldn't be able to protect her.
Therefore, in fact, Gu Bulao's heart was against Jiang Yun entering the Zhutian Collection Region.
However, he also knew that if Jiang Yun didn't enter the Zhutian Gathering Domain and just stayed in the Lower Realm, then he wouldn't amount to anything in his lifetime.
...For Jiang Yun's safety, no one knew that after Gu Bulao returned to the Zhutian Collection Realm, he had been secretly inquiring about matters related to the Jiang clan over the years.
He secretly erased the memories of many cultivators. The purpose was to ensure as much as possible that his disciples would not reveal their identities after entering the Gathering Domain of the Myriad Heavens.
Even, the reason why he deliberately killed the members of the Gu clan despite knowing that the Karma Elder was stationed in the lower realm was to lure Gu Yin and Gu Yang to the lower realm. By using them as a reference point with his technique "Viewing through Antiquity," his true intention was to force the Karma Elder to make a move and reveal his location.
The status of the Causal Elder in the hearts of all cultivators across the myriad heavens is even higher than that of the Celestial Inspectors, making them an existence that no one dares to offend.
When people know that the Karma Old Man is in charge of the lower realm, then naturally no one will go to that lower realm, which maximizes the guarantee that Jiang Yun's identity will not be leaked.
As for Gu Bulao's intentions, the cause-and-effect elder was well aware. He had been tricked by Gu Bulao in this matter, which made him hate Gu Bulao with all his being.
Although Gu Bulao had done so much for his disciples, he never expected that at this moment, the patrolling angels would already know Jiang Yun's identity.
He just couldn't figure out how the angel of surveillance knew.
At this moment, facing the questioning of twelve top-tier powerhouses, the Angel of Patrol suddenly looked at Gu Yangdao: "Gu Yang, what do you think, why did I issue such an order"n really revealed his own Ruinous Patterns, then what awaited him would not be the respect of the Ruinous Clan, but he would immediately be captured by the Ruinous Clan and forced to reveal the origin...
