Chapter 606: Ginger Village is Gone

relentlessly provoking Jiang Yun, completely oblivious to the changes happening in Han Mingyi's bat as it stood behind her.Seeing the fear clearly reflected in Han Mingyi's eyes, Jiang Yun suddenly r..."Grandpa!"

With a gasp, Ginger Cloud's eyes flew open.

Before one's eyes stand towering trees with luxuriant branches and leaves. Although raindrops constantly fall from the lush foliage, they all automatically part to the sides just before reaching one.

"Hey!"

With a long breath, Jiang Yun closed his eyes once more.

Just now he had a dream, in which he saw his grandfather, Yue Rou, the village head, and all the people of Ginger Village were somehow in a strange place.

That place had no sky, no earth; there was nothing but endless emptiness.

Grandfather and they kept walking there, incessantly, incessantly, yet they could never see an end, nor find a way out, as if trapped within.

Although I can see them, I am unable to enter that place.

Even if they shouted as loudly as they could, they couldn't hear their own voices.

"Well, it was just a dream!"

Just as Jiang Yun was about to speak a second time, the eyes that had just closed suddenly opened again.

He remembered the reason for his coma: he had been severely injured, and with his strength depleted, he was captured by Xuedianyi who used his divine sense to search his soul.

But he wasn't dead. Where was the blood-soaked clothes

Thinking about this, Jiang Yun wanted to sit up, but his whole body felt like it had been taken apart. Not only did he have no strength, but even a slight movement sent a tearing pain through his body, making it impossible for him to sit up.

"You're awake!"

Just then, a strange voice rang out in Jiang Yun's ear.

Next, a similarly unfamiliar middle-aged man appeared in Ginger Cloud's eyes.

Looking at this man who resembled a Confucian scholar, Jiang Yun's eyes showed a hint of caution as he said, "Who are you!"

"My name is Liu Tianren!"

"Willow, Heaven, Humanity!"

He repeated the name softly, and a glimmer of anticipation replaced the vigilance in Jiang Yun's eyes. "Are you Senior Liu Tianren"

The man nodded lightly, a gentle smile appearing on his face. "My name is Liu Tianren!"

Although Ginger Cloud had never met the man before him, his name was one he had heard long ago and always kept in mind.

Because Liu Tianren is the strongest in the Ten Thousand Mang Mountains.

Back then, grandpa also used this name to stop the harassment from Fengcun.

Even, the third senior brother Xuanyuan Xing had once encountered him and fought with him.

Unexpectedly, I finally met Liu Tianren today.

As familiarity with the name grew, a wave of memories about Mangshan surged into Jiangyun's mind, making him forget his pain and grit his teeth to sit up.

"Willow Senior, you must quickly lead the hundred thousand demon beasts of Mangshan to leave. Bloodstained Clothes..."

Before Jiang Yun could finish his words, Liu Tianren had already interrupted with a smile: “Rest assured, Xue Yan Yi has left, and along with all the monsters from Wan Yao Ku, they will never dare to set foot in Nanshan Prefecture again!”

"Really"

Ginger was stunned for a moment, unable to believe his ears until Liu Tianren nodded heavily.

That's great!

Ginger's mouth let out another long breath, and his face relaxed considerably. "It must have been Senior Liu who took action to defeat Xue Ran Yi and saved me, right"

"I did not defeat the blood-stained one, but I brought you here!"

"Here..."

It was only then that Jiang Yun remembered, having been so engrossed in his conversation with Liu Tianren, that he still had no idea where he actually was.

Turning his head to look around, Jiang Yun's brows gradually furrowed as he sized up the surrounding scenery.

Because of the towering trees that filled his view, he felt a strange sensation - familiar yet foreign.

He knew he was certainly already in the midst of ten thousand wild mountains.

But having lived here for sixteen years, I can't say my footprints cover every corner, but wherever I've been, I shouldn't forget. There's really no reason why I should feel both familiar and unfamiliar with this place.

Having no other choice, he retracted his gaze and turned back to Liu Tianren, asking: "Senior Liu, what is the general location of Mangshan"

Liu Tianren had always been watching Jiang Yun. Hearing this question, a trace of sympathy, even pity, appeared on his face. He sighed and said, "You really don't recognize where this is"

Jiang Yun shook her head and said honestly, "I feel like I'm familiar with this place, but it also feels very strange."

After looking at Jiang Yun for a long time, Liu Tianren finally spoke softly: "This is Jiang Village!"

Five words, like five huge stones, crashed into Jiang Yun's heart. After he was stunned, he barely squeezed out a smile and said to Liu, "Senior Liu, please don't joke with me. How could this possibly be Jiang Village!"

Everything in Jiangcun, even the grass and trees growing in the village, was deeply etched in Jiang Yun's mind. It would never leave him, not even in death.

But the scene before his eyes now was completely unlike anything familiar from his memory.

Liu Tianren sighed again and said, "This is really Jiang Village. If you don't believe me, look far away!"

These words stirred an inexplicable power within Jiang Yun's body, somehow enabling him to stand up. He stumbled and walked towards the distance.

Watching Jiang Yun's staggering figure, Liu Tianren shook his head and silently followed behind him.

As he walked, Jiang Yun kept muttering to himself, "Impossible, this can't be Jiang Village!"

However, when he finally managed to stagger a distance away, his figure suddenly came to a halt.

At this moment, before his eyes, appeared a forest that wasn't too dense.

For this jungle, Gingercloud was incredibly familiar.

Because this patch of forest originally faced the gate of Ginger Village, it was a must-pass place for entering and leaving Ginger Village.

Even then, he saw the faint trail of a path overgrown with weeds in the jungle.

But since this is the forest directly opposite the entrance to Ginger Village, then where is Ginger Village

After standing there blankly for a long while, Ginger Cloud suddenly turned around. Like a madman, he ran frantically through the forest.

After running a full circle, Jiang Yun's figure stopped again, and her legs went soft. She collapsed onto the ground with a thud.

Because he could finally be sure, the surrounding environment was indeed the scenery around Ginger Village back then, but only one thing was missing: Ginger Village itself!

Or, the place where Ginger Village used to be is now completely covered by towering trees that grow lush and tall. Even Ginger Cloud can't find any trace of where Ginger Village once existed.

Now, he finally knows why he had that feeling of both familiarity and strangeness.

Although Ginger Village has disappeared without a trace, Ginger Cloud has lived here for sixteen years after all. As long as he stands on this land, it will give him a sense of familiarity.

"Where is Jiangcun Where is Jiangcun"

Ginger Cloud kept repeating those three words until he suddenly remembered that there was still a Liu Tianren behind him.

"Liu senior, where's Ginger Village What about my grandfather and the others"

When he uttered these words, Ginger Cloud's voice trembled so violently that it lost its tone altogether.

Liu Tianren let out a third sigh and said, "Gone!"

"Gone" Jiang Yun was taken aback. "What do you mean gone"

"Let's go, it means leaving!"

The night you left Ginger Village and headed for the Question Dao Sect, your grandfather took everyone from Ginger Village and left.

Where did they go

I don't know, but someone does, sir. Or maybe you should tell him yourself!
