Chapter 4126: The Obstacles Before Us

e other nine high platforms also successively completed their trials, determining today's top ten. The only slight surprise was that Xie Xiaoyong proactively conceded defeat in the last round, thus be...Ginger Cloud was still staring at the compass in her hand.

Although the compass only showed twinkling dots representing numerous guards, it helped Jiang Yun determine the approximate size of this world and his current location.

Most of the dots were moving quickly, so Jiang Yun soon identified the one that represented him.

Jiang Yun muttered to himself, "I should be in the northern region of this world now."

Since the criminals can know my location, even if I stand still, they will come to find me.

"However, I should probably check with a guard first to see how they're doing."

"By the way, you could also figure out the rough distance between me and the other guards."

Jiang Yun lowered his head and looked at the dead old man. With a finger as sharp as a knife, he drew it through the air, beheading the opponent in one swift motion.

Looking into the opponent's still wide eyes, with pupils that were tinged crimson, Jiang Yun murmured to himself, "The man who just self-detonated also had blood-colored pupils. Does that mean they belong to the same group"

In the past, those being hunted were always from various tribes. While there might have been a few from the same tribe, it was unprecedented for all fugitives to belong to the same tribe.

However, Jiang Yun didn't really care about this issue.

This hunt is completely different from previous ones. It's the prisoners hunting the guards, so it doesn't matter if they belong to the same tribe.

Gingercloud sank the elder's corpse into the desert and, choosing the point closest to himself on the compass, rose into the air.

As for the old man's head, he did not put it into his storage magic artifact either. Instead, he let it fly behind him.

The hair, cascading down from the head, danced wildly in the wind, like a fluttering banner.

Ginger Cloud did this to attract the elder's companions, the other convicts.

After flying for about a hundred miles, Ginger Cloud's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Because, he clearly felt, a divine consciousness had fallen upon him.

And within a radius of ten li that he could see, there was no presence of any cultivators.

That is to say, the master of this divine consciousness is quite far away from him.

Ginger Cloud ignored the divine sense and continued flying forward.

He believed that the other party would definitely come to him proactively.

At the same time, the man standing on that thousand-zhang stone tablet suddenly revealed a cold light in his eyes and said coldly: "What a arrogant fellow. Not only did you kill someone, but you even dared to put their head out there. Are you provoking us"

"Since that's how you want it, I'll grant your wish!"

As the man's voice fell, dozens of cultivators' minds within this world simultaneously conjured up the image of Jiang Yun.

After more than a few hours, Jiang Yun finally flew out of the desert. Before him appeared a towering mountain range.

Jiang Yun's gaze swept across this mountain range, falling down, and he stood at the edge of a sheer cliff. He suddenly raised his foot and stomped it down hard.

"Boom!"

The cliff suddenly collapsed with a deafening roar, sending rocks flying everywhere.

From among the falling stones, a figure flew out.

This is a young man, his body stained with bloodstains, his hair disheveled across his face, looking extremely disheveled.

However, his eyes were radiating killing intent. At a glance, he saw Jiang Yun standing in the air. A sinister smile appeared on his thin face and he said: "You found this place!"

As he spoke, a long spear appeared in his hand. Hovering in mid-air, it lunged straight at Jiang Yun.

Jiang Yun stood still, not moving at all. As the spear approached him, it suddenly stopped. The man was astonished and exclaimed, "It's you, that Fan, Fan..." He clearly mistook Jiang Yun for a criminal.

Only then did he see the heads flying around behind Ginger Cloud, and realized that Ginger Cloud was also a guard, and the same one who had been ridiculed by many people in the Martial Arts Hall before.

...however, for a moment, he couldn't remember Jiang Yun's name.

Ginger Yun reached out and gently pushed aside the gun muzzle in front of her, saying, "Fan Xiao!"

"Yes!"

The man nodded, a hint of relaxation appearing on his face. He was about to put away his long spear when suddenly his expression changed, and the spear pointed at Jiang Yun again. "Was it you who just shattered this cliff"

Jiang Yun faintly said, "That's right."

The man's eyes narrowed slightly. "How did you know I was hiding here!"

Isn't your divine consciousness being suppressed

Or are you, and those criminals, in cahoots

Upon hearing the man's words, Jiang Yun smiled faintly. "It seems you've encountered ambushes, and not just once!"

"You too"

The man's face was full of doubt, but the spear in his hand remained still.

Jiang Yun's guess was right, this man had almost the same experience as Jiang Yun. He had just arrived in this world and was attacked.

Although he managed to escape, he didn't get far before being ambushed again.

After being ambushed twice in a row, he immediately realized that the perpetrator knew his whereabouts.

Therefore, he stayed here, nursing his wounds, but also probing whether the assailant could still find him.

Unexpectedly, he didn't wait for the criminal, but instead waited for Ginger Cloud. Therefore, he suspected that Ginger Cloud and the criminal were in cahoots.

Ginger stretched out his hand and threw the compass to the other party, saying: "Look at the top, you'll understand."

The man took the compass, glanced at it, and his face changed again. "These dots," he said, "are our guards"

Ginger Yun reached out his hand, and the compass flew back into his grasp.

"Well, I killed a man."

Jiang Yun pointed to the heads swirling behind him and said, "We found this compass on him and he randomly chose a light point closest to me, which led us to you."

The man pondered for a moment before finally putting away the long spear in his hand and turning to Jiang Yun with a fist salute. “My name is Shen Chaojun!”

Evidently, he had already believed Ginger Cloud's words, and through Ginger Cloud effortlessly retrieving the compass just now, he also saw that Ginger Cloud's strength was above his own.

Jiang Yun also cupped his fist in return, bowing again and saying, "Fan Xiao."

Shen Zhaochun sized up Jiang Yun from head to toe, then suddenly laughed and said: "People say that it's better to meet someone than hear about them, but today after meeting Brother Fan, I realize that seeing someone is even better than hearing about them!"

Ginger naturally understood that this Shen Chaojun had also heard some things about Fan Xiao before.

"Gingercloud smiled faintly and said, 'How is Brother Shen's injury'"

"It's okay, I won't die."

Shen Zhaozhun shook his head indifferently and said, "I don't know what Fan brother's plans are next"

Ginger smiled and said, "I haven't been in Tianwaitian for long, so I don't know much about things."

"Especially this hunt, there are too many strange things about it, so I wanted to ask Brother Shen for advice."

Shen Zhaozhun's face was filled with a cold smile. "This time, it wasn't a hunt at all, but a trap set specifically for us."

Those prisoners had clearly colluded with the people from Heavenly Beyond. The people of Heavenly Beyond provided them with our location and restricted our cultivation levels so they could slaughter us."

Speaking of this, Shen Chaojun's eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "Medicine pills! The medicine pills we swallowed could let the criminals know our location!"

Jiang Yun nodded secretly. This Shen Chaojun's reaction wasn't slow, and he was a relatively alert person.

"That's right, I suspected as much too,"

"I just don't understand why you would do that"

"We all signed up for the hunt randomly, which rules out revenge as a possibility."

"If it's not about revenge, why are you so specifically targeting our group of guards"

Jiang Yun brought the old man's head behind him to Shen Chaojun and said, "By the way, Brother Shen, the two criminals I encountered both had blood-red pupils."

"You said, aren't they from the same group"

Shen Zhaozhun looked into the old man's eyes, frowning and saying, "You didn't say so, I really didn't notice. The two criminals I encountered also seemed to have blood-red pupils."

However, I'm not sure if there are such groups, after all, there are just too many groups hiding in the four directions.

"Speaking of which, Shen Zhaozhi gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry about these things!"

"As long as we can live and report this to the higher-ups, everything will be clear."

Ginger Cloud glanced at Shen Chaojun and said, "If you want to go back, let's get past this hurdle first!"

Shen Zhaojun was slightly taken aback, just about to ask Jiang Yun what she meant by that.

But he immediately understood! Because, around the two of them, seven cultivators appeared, all with blood-colored pupils! even reached the Nine Great Sects, and surprisingly, all the sect leaders refused to comply with it.Therefore, if arresting Gingercloud was truly an order from the Inner Court, then as Yueqing said,...
