desolate and lifeless world of Shan Hai, Dao Er let out a long sigh.Although this trip to the Shanhai Realm resulted in losses, we managed to complete the master's assignment safely. Now, what remain...The challenge is still ongoing.

But whether it was the guards fighting on the platform or the guards watching from around, everyone, each and every one of them, was absentminded.

Because their minds were still replaying Leng Yichen's words.

Yantian Qi, unexpectedly colluded with ancient emperors.

Although many of Yan Tianqi's loyal subordinates wanted to refute and point out that Leng Yichen was smearing Yan Tianqi, what had just happened was witnessed by them with their own eyes. They saw with their own eyes the Ancient Emperor take Yan Tianqi into the forbidden area when he left! This proved that Leng Yichen was telling the truth, which made it truly unbearable for them.

Yantianqi, disregarding his character, in Tiangwai Tian, he not only ranks second to Leng Yichen in both strength and status, but even in prestige.

Whether it was his experience from an ordinary guard to becoming the leader of the heavenly generals, or his diligent cultivation, and even his title as the "Ancient Hunter", he held an irreplaceable position in the minds of many guards.

This is also why, even among the Nine Heavenly Generals, four of them willingly stood beside Yan Tianqi to support him becoming the future Heaven Marshal.

To such an extent that the dispute between Yan Tianqi and Jiang Yun in the Tongtian Pavilion made many guards develop a dislike for Jiang Yun.

Now, the truth of the matter has turned their perceptions of Yan Tianqi upside down.

Especially some quick-witted guards, they even thought of Yan Tianqi's nickname as a "Crazy Hunter of Antiquity", and every time he hunted for ancient relics, the astonishing military achievements he achieved, killing a large number of descendants of the ancient people.

Perhaps all this is inextricably linked to the ancient emperors.

Regardless of what others may think, at this moment, Jiang Yun, under Leng Yichen's personal escort, has already left the grand competition and returned to his own mansion.

Although Ginger Cloud defeated Yan Tianqi and shattered the Emperor's palm even further, he himself was severely injured and had to return to heal.

As for Leng Yichen, although he had many questions he wanted to ask Jiang Yun, seeing Jiang Yun's injuries, he could only temporarily suppress the doubts in his heart and gave Jiang Yun a bottle of pills: "Take good care of your wounds!"

After he finished speaking, Leng Yichen turned and left, leaving Jiang Yun alone.

Jiang Yun did not take the elixir or tend to his injuries. Instead, he took out the Wuyan Puppet Lamp! The doubts in his heart were no less than those of Leng Yichen; he had to ask Huo Duoming for clarification first.

Jiang Yun's divine sense transformed into his own image, appearing within the Wuyan Puppet Lamp. His eyes fixed on Huo Duming.

And the latter lowered his head, not daring to look at Jiang Yun at all.

Although he hesitated at first, in the end, he still chose to save Jiangyun. But there was a secret in his heart! What's more, Jiangyun is the master of the Wuyan Kuaidan.

At this time, as long as Jiang Yun made a move, he could easily kill him.

Moments later, Jiang Yun spoke in a low voice: "When did you discover that the puppet could be activated and make a move"

Upon hearing Gingercloud's question, Fire Alonebright finally raised his head and hastily replied, "It was just a short while ago, after I left that place of cultivation, that I discovered it."

But, at first, it was just a vague feeling. I couldn't be sure, and naturally, I didn't dare tell the adults.

These days, I've been pondering this feeling constantly, until finally I was certain: to activate that puppet, it requires an enormous amount of flame imbued with the power of an Emperor.

Jiang Yun was too lazy to discern whether Huo Duoming's words were true or false. He continued, "Then does it just take enough flames to make that puppet... " "No," Huo Duoming interrupted, "it takes enough flames to make all four puppets attack"

Huoduming hesitated for a moment, shaking his head and saying, "Currently, I can only sense that one puppet is movable."

"However, perhaps as the adults said, once enough flames have been absorbed into the Flameless Lantern, we'll know if the other three puppets can also move."

Huò Dúmíng hurriedly said, "Sir, I didn't lie to you. The function of this lamp will gradually be revealed to me as my strength improves."

"Before this, I truly didn't know puppets could move."

Besides, if I were truly hiding it, even if I could keep it from the adults for a while, I couldn't hide it from them forever. Once they found out, wouldn't I be punished by them!

Ginger Cloud coldly smiled and said, "You hid for so long, you almost took my life."

Huo Duming urgently exclaimed, "My lord, I didn't..." Before Huo Duming could finish his sentence, Jiang Yun's divine sense suddenly exploded and vanished within the flameless puppet lamp.

From this moment on, Jiang Yun is not at ease handing the No-Flame Puppet Lamp completely to Huo Duming, but decides to take complete control himself and gradually explore how many unknown abilities this lamp still possesses.

For this, Hu Duming although in his heart unwilling, but there was no way.

Jiang Yun's divine sense easily entered the four puppets, but there was nothing inside.

They were neither imbued with runes nor flesh and blood, resembling four puppets carved from an unknown material.

However, as his consciousness diffused within the lamp of no flame, Jiang Yun came to understand the lamp better.

"Submerge the puppet's body in sufficient flames to activate its attacks. The more flames, the stronger the puppet's attacks will be."

Twenty flames are able to give a puppet the strength of one finger.

"And the two hundred flames are what allow the puppet to unleash the power of a single punch."

As for the thousand flames, it allows the puppet to unleash a full-powered strike!

After understanding the greatest power of the flameless puppet lamp now, a contemplative expression appeared on Jiang Yun's face.

Although this puppet's power is indeed terrifying, the number of flames required to control it is also astonishing.

A thousand paths of flame, it doesn't sound like much, but even within the towering pagoda, absorbing a year's worth of celestial power could only form one path of flame.

That is to say, in order for the puppet to unleash its full power, it needs to absorb a thousand years' worth of celestial energy within the Heavenly Tower. Even if one could manipulate the flow of time, it would still take over a hundred years.

This price, it's too high, a bit much.

After pondering for a long time, Jiang Yun continued: "If you want to pay less of a price, unless I can myself condense a flame imbued with the power of an emperor."

"But if I have to wait until I can condense the power of earth and fire, I might already be an emperor. Heaven knows how long that would take."

Shaking his head, Jiang Yun temporarily abandoned the plan to have the puppet unleash a full-powered strike.

Anyway, one finger's power is already astonishing.

Jiang Yun's attention refocused on the Wuyan puppet lamp. "This lamp, where does it come from Who refined it Why is it in the Shanhai Realm"

If I had the chance, I think I should go back to the Shanhai Realm.

"See if you can find the people who were at the Wan Yao Ku back then and ask them if they know more about this lamp."

Just as Jiang Yun was thinking about the Shan Hai Realm, Dao Wu-Ming, who had always been in seclusion among the five peaks of Asking Dao, suddenly opened his eyes.

The next moment, he had already stood up, his figure disappearing from where he was and appearing directly underground in Beishan Prefecture! Here, there is a River of Fire, also the place where Huo Duoming's father closed the door for cultivation.

However, Dao Wu Ming knew that if a special method was used to activate the thirty-six points within the Shan Hai realm, the flames in this river could be condensed into a flaming stone tablet.

And that stone tablet points to the true ancestral home of the Jiang family.

Dao Wuming's gaze was fixed upon this river of flames, and within his eyes, a sudden flash of light appeared.

With the disappearance of this ray of light, Dao Wuming was still Dao Wuming, but his aura had changed, becoming incredibly cold and... powerful.

And at this moment, he was gazing once more at the River of Fire. Although he had not triggered any of the thirty-six points himself, he could sense that the River of Fire was trembling slightly.

"The bitter world, there's movement now, is it finally going to begin!"ble to let go of the bitterness, yet still able to remember, but no longer dwelling on it.Any life form with sentience, even if they are the most wicked and heinous of criminals, will inevitably have...
