nd of the jade vase shattering, and the pungent odor, startled the other seven who were engrossed in their studies of the runes.Seven people turned back simultaneously. Though they saw Jiang Yun lying...As for Jiang Yun's character, perhaps others are unclear about it. However, in the entire Shan Hai Fen Zong, every single one of the thirty or so disciples from top to bottom is incredibly clear.

Especially Ginger Cloud's... protectiveness!

Back then, travelling from Nanshan Prefecture to the Desolate Realm within the world of mountains and seas, if it weren't for Jiang Yun's protection, at least half of them would have died on the road.

Moreover, as for Jiang Yun, his protective measures were quite different from those of his master.

The ancient one's protection was only for his four disciples and did not extend to anyone else.

While Ginger Cloud's protectiveness extended to everyone he recognized and cared about!

Regardless of one's status, cultivation level, or even if they are a servant of Jiang Yun, as long as Jiang Yun acknowledges them, then no one is allowed to bully them.

Therefore, seeing the frost return to Ginger Cloud's face and hearing him ask that question, everyone present knew exactly what he was going to do.

If they were in a different place, at a different time, they might have answered Jiang Yun. But right now, more than three thousand people all chose to remain silent.

This is the questioning of the main sect, at this moment it's a time of great comparison, and there is also a high-ranking sect master successor who has been suppressing the Shanhai branch sect from beginning to end.

Therefore, even though Jiang Yun is the hope of the Shan Hai Fen Zong and the backbone of everyone, they don't want to make Jiang Yun angry with the Wen Dao Zhu Zong again because of them.

Looking at the silent crowd, Jiang Yun's gaze finally settled on Dao Tianyou. He clasped his fist in a salute and bowed deeply: "Sect Master, who did it!"

The moment Dao Tianyou heard the word "Sect Master," his heart skipped a beat!

Although Ginger Cloud's displayed cultivation realm was inferior to his own, Dao Tianyou knew that Ginger Cloud's actual strength far surpassed his.

This young man who I had my eye on back then, is now someone I have to look up to.

But in Jiang Yun's heart, he still recognized his sect master and still bowed to him with the respect due to an elder.

The more this is the case, the more I cannot allow Jiang Yun to risk his life!

Let's talk after the big match is over!

Dao Tianyou could only smile wryly and say, "Although we were eliminated in the sect war, there is still a challenge match coming up. You came back just in time, perhaps we still have a chance."

"Challenge!"

Jiang Yun repeated those three words, but his gaze suddenly shifted to the direction of the ancient demon clan, fixating on a wretched-looking old man there. "Old Man Di," he said, "Do you know about the injuries these disciples from my Shan Hai branch have sustained"

The person whom Jiang Yun asked was Di Xinghe, a member of the Earth Spirit tribe!

When they heard that Ginger Cloud had actually gone to the Star River of Earth to inquire, everyone's faces changed drastically!

This time, Ginger Cloud had found the right person to ask!

If one were Ginger Cloud's friend, they would certainly consider Ginger Cloud at this time and wouldn't tell him the truth.

The Earth's River, by its very nature, is someone who would fear the world if it were ever peaceful.

This time, five more major figures from the Taigu Yaozu came with him. Now that Jiang Yun had just happened to ask about this, he felt that if he didn't tell Jiang Yun everything he knew, he would be letting both Jiang Yun and himself down. This trip to inquire about the way of Heaven wouldn't have been worthwhile.

Moreover, he was extremely dissatisfied with the Heavenly Mandate's suppression of the monster race within the Shan Hai branch of the sect in the past!

After clearing his throat, Di Xinghe spoke in a loud voice: "Elder Jiang, I, Di Xinghe, have never been one to talk too much. In fact, I shouldn't be saying these things..."

But since you brought it up, and we're friends, I can't just stay silent!

The matter of the two demon clan members being injured occurred before the Grand Daoist Examination had begun.

“A disciple named Tianyun from the Tianyun branch went to your Shanhai branch's residence and insulted your disciples in every way possible, provoking them relentlessly. Those two demon clan members were truly unable to bear it and acted out of anger, but unfortunately, they were no match for their opponent and were severely injured.”

Although the Celestial River people hadn't arrived to inquire about the heavens at that time, once they did arrive, they had already learned everything that had happened here, especially regarding the affairs of the Shan Hai Divided Sect.

Although his tone was somewhat exaggerated, at least what he said was true.

"Dixinghe hesitated for a moment, then continued, “As for Xia Zhongxing being…”

However, before the Star River could finish his words, Jiang Yun had already waved his hand to interrupt, "Uncle Di, no need to rush. Let's take things one by one!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Jiang Yun's icy gaze swept across the surrounding platform. "Tian Yun Fen Zong, who injured these two Come out and face me!"

Once the sentence was uttered, the entire audience was once again astonished.

Because it's obvious to everyone, Jiang Yun is seeking revenge for his fellow disciples.

But now it is a time of great competition, and the Tian Yun Fen Zong is even more prestigious, reaching the ninth rank. It was also once led by Dao Tian Yun himself.

For Ginger Cloud to stir up trouble with the Tianyun Branch at this time would be to court death!

"It's me!"

Amongst the members of the Heavenly Fortune Sect, a young man stood up. His face showed nonchalance. He was at the early stage of Dao nature, and it was indeed him who had injured Lao Hei and Liu Tianxing!

Although he was also shocked by the appearance of Ginger Cloud just now, there was a Daotai realm sect master sitting beside him, and not far away, Dao Tianyun was watching coldly. Therefore, he was completely fearless.

"Good!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Jiang Yun took a step forward, his figure vanishing in an instant. His speed was so fast that few people could even catch a glimpse of him.

When Ginger Cloud appeared again, she was already in front of the man. Without a word, she reached out and grabbed his neck, lifting him straight up.

"Be bold!"

The master of the Heavenly Fate Sect, a man in his fifties, suddenly flew into a rage and raised his hand to strike Jiang Yun fiercely.

A cold light flashed in Gingercloud's eyes. He didn't dodge or evade at all, and directly took the old man's palm on his own back.

But just as the elder's palm struck his back, his own hand had already mercilessly crushed the man's neck!

"Bang!"

Sheng Sheng had been struck by the elder's palm, but Jiang Yun was like nothing had happened. He casually tossed the corpse in his hand to the ground and, with a flash of his figure, retreated back into the Shan Hai Fen Zong. He looked at Di Xinghe and said, "Di Lao Ge, continue!"

At this moment, the entire audience was dumbfounded, staring at Jiang Yun with wide eyes, unable to utter a single word!

And the millions of people on this platform are almost all like that.

Ginger Cloud had gone from making his move to returning in less than three breaths' time.

Facing a powerful expert from the Daotai stage, he killed the culprit who had injured Lao Hei and Liu Tianren without any hesitation, right in front of their sect's three thousand disciples, the seven elders of the main sect, Dao Tianyun, and countless other disciples and spectators.

As a mere sect master, in front of so many elders and disciples, he acted recklessly and decisively to avenge his own people!

Such an act, looking at the millions of cultivators and countless sects today, almost no one can achieve it!

No wonder all the disciples of the Shan Hai Fen Zong respected him immensely. With such a powerful sect leader protecting them, how could they not feel proud!

More importantly, since ginger cloud appeared in this world, up to now, it's only been dozens of breaths, and has already killed two people!

And, the ones he killed were all disciples of the Wen Dao Sect!

This also shocked the crowd even more, and finally gave them some understanding of this headmaster of the Shanhai Fenzong!

Ginger Cloud's style of doing things can only be described in two words— domineering!

Especially Dongfang Bo nodded again, "The master's domineering aura, I originally thought the third child inherited it, but now it seems, the fourth child is the one who truly embodies its essence!"

“Jiang Yun, stop!”

Behind Jiang Yun, a furious roar suddenly echoed—the Tian Yun Fen Zong sect master!
