Chapter 1409 No Malice

man patted his head and said, "I was rash. My benefactor has just arrived and naturally doesn't know about Taoyuan City. But within this level of the underworld prison, Taoyuan City is a true paradis...In Jiang Yun's gaze, which had already been withdrawn, he also saw himself still standing under the stele, motionless, but his face was pale and lifeless, with a waning vitality.

Actually, he didn't truly transform into the stone stele. It was just his divine consciousness that, during the process of performing the Heavenly Sacrifice ritual, connected to this stele in a special way and entered it.

At this point, Gingercloud had already understood that to see clearly the scene behind the stele, he had to use his own life force to illuminate the runes on it.

And this process didn't require him to lift a finger, because these steles could actively absorb his life force and then transmit it to each other, one by one, constantly illuminating.

Now, a total of eight stone tablets' runes have been fully ignited. During the entire process, I was so engrossed in the sight before me that I completely failed to notice my life force waning.

Until now, nearly ninety percent of my life force has been lost, leaving only a mere ten percent!

If he were to light the last stone tablet, then even if he could see clearly the scene at the center of this nine-colored world, what awaited him would be exhaustion of vitality and death!

This made Jiang Yun both laugh and cry.

If I had known earlier, I should have focused on lighting the last stone tablet first instead of the eight in front of it.

After all, the scenes before were all ones I had already experienced. There was no great significance in whether I looked or not. What I truly wanted to see was the situation at the very center of this realm.

But now it's too late to regret, luckily as long as one is still alive, as long as they rest for a while, life will surely recover.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yun had to prepare to stop casting the Nine Sacrifices Heavenly Art, withdraw his own vitality, and wait until his vitality was sufficient before lighting up the last stone tablet!

Just at that moment, his eyes caught sight of a figure appearing near the stone tablet, not far from his own body. It was Zhan Chou!

Although Ginger Cloud didn't know why Zhan Qiu was alone, and where Wei Jiu and Zi Zhu had gone, Ginger Cloud didn't need to think about it to know that Zhan Qiu entering the white mist at this time must be to deal with himself.

Even, Jiang Yun could further deduce that the appearance of Zhan Chou was probably instigated by these demonic beasts here.

After all, even though demonic beasts are powerful, after witnessing the process of me killing Chang Li, they would inevitably be afraid of my identity as a demon tamer and the power of the annihilation magic I summoned.

And since Zhan Qiu was human, having him deal with himself meant his identity as a demon cultivator would be completely useless.

Looking at Zhan Chou getting closer and closer, Jiang Yun's brows couldn't help but furrow slightly.

At this moment, Jiang Yun, although only his divine sense had entered the stele, seemed to have become a part of the heavenly altar. In his eyes, Zhan Qiu was like an ant, completely insignificant and not worth considering.

Even so, even without entering the stone stele and even at his peak state, Jiang Yun, relying on the many trump cards in his hands, also had the strength to fight against Zhan Chou.

But now his vitality has largely drained away, and he is completely withered, on the verge of death. He must immediately withdraw from the stone tablet; otherwise, wanting to confront Zhan Chou in this state would not be so easy.

If you're not careful, you could even be directly killed by Zhan Chou!

This made Jiang Yun's heart start to race. Thoughts whirled in his mind as he desperately tried to think of a way to escape this predicament.

Ultimately, he gave up thinking. If he didn't stop casting the Nine Sacrificial Heaven Technique, then there would be no need for Zhan Chou to make a move; he would be drained of all his life essence by this heaven and earth altar and die instantly.

Having no other choice, Jiang Yun could only grit his teeth and forcefully mobilize the little remaining life force within his weakened body. He was preparing to act immediately once he returned to his own body.

See if you can catch Zhan Chou off guard and then seize the opportunity to slip into nothingness.

Such an approach is also extremely risky, after all, in terms of true strength, there is a huge gap between Jiang Yun and Zhan Chou.

And even if they could successfully ambush and escape into nothingness, Jian Chou practiced the Way of Space!

Of course, he could also just as easily enter the void and find himself!

As Jiang Qiu got closer and closer, Jiang Yun was also making his final preparations. He just waited for him to enter his line of sight before immediately attacking.

Finally, Zhan Qiu entered his own line of sight!

Of course, Zhan Qiu also saw Ginger Cloud standing still. Just as Ginger Cloud was about to withdraw his divine sense back into his body and prepare to make a move, Zhan Qiu suddenly spoke after being stunned for a moment: "Daoist Ginger, I have no ill intentions!"

Even, Zhan Chou stepped back two steps to show that what he said was true, and then raised his hands high.

Jiang Yun felt confused by Zhan Chou's attitude, but now he didn't have time to think about it. He had to immediately withdraw from the stone tablet.

With the cessation of the Nine Incantation Heavenly Art, Jiang Yun only felt that all sights, even this entire Nine-Colored Realm, began to spin wildly.

In a daze, I found myself standing once again before the stone tablet. My palm was still firmly pressed against its surface.

Jiang Yun came back to his senses, slowly released his palm, turned around, and looked at Zhan Chou with a calm expression.

Ginger Yun was naturally pretending to be nonchalant. Regardless of what James Chu's intentions were, since the other party was willing to waste time, Ginger Yun was more than happy to oblige.

Seeing Jian Yun turn around, Zhan Chou's face also broke into a smile and said: "Jian Daoist friend, I didn't expect that we would actually have another chance to meet. Sure enough, we are truly blessed!"

Ginger Cloud also smiled and said, "That's also thanks to Daoist Zhan!"

Zhan Chou stood in place, taking a deep look at Jiang Yun. He suddenly retracted the smile on his face and said, "Friend Jiang, you don't need to pretend. Although I don't know what you have experienced, Zhan is confident that his eyes are not mistaken. Your vitality now is extremely weak, and you are basically on the verge of death!"

As for Zhan Qiu pointing out his true situation, Jiang Yun was not surprised at all. After all, Zhan Qiu, as a powerful Daotai Realm expert and an old fox, could hardly fail to see through it!

However, Jiang Yun also knew that the other party might really have something to look for him, so he faintly said: "Then you shouldn't take this opportunity to kill me"

Zhan Qiu shook his head. “I’ve said, I came here with no ill intentions, but just to make a deal with Daoist Jiang.”

Jiang Yun smiled faintly. "Just like the deal you made with the person at the center of this world"

Hearing Jiang Yun's words, Zhan Chou's eyes narrowed suddenly, revealing a murderous intent. He nodded forcefully and said: "Yes, just like my deal with him!"

Feeling Zhan Chou's killing intent, Ginger Cloud could sense that it wasn't directed at him, but at the person in the center.

It seems that the relationship between this Zhan Chou and the person or, rather, the demonic entity at the center, is not as harmonious as it appears.

Ginger lightly said, "Tell me!"

Zhan Chou spoke frankly: "I came here because Wei Jiu ordered me to capture you alive. And you should be clear, with your current state, I could do it."

"However, now I have no one trustworthy around me except for Daoist Jiang. So now I offer you two choices."

"The first option, of course, is that I take you back and hand you over to them. I think you know who they are!"

There was no need for Zhanchou to speak a second word. Gingercloud had already cut him off, saying, "What do you need me to do"

Jian Chou's eyes flashed with killing intent again, almost gritting his teeth as he said: "Help me remove the shadow from my body, and also, help me save my brother!"
