his gaze back to Jiang Yun and say, "You're lucky this time. I'll let you off."However, within a year, you'd best journey to the kingdom of my Light and Dark lineage yourself. Otherwise, you should k..."The Bookworm shook his head. “We don’t know that for sure, but it is said that the name ‘Xu Wangya’ was formed by taking one character from each of the names of those three great demons.”

Although the bookworm didn't give a definite answer, Gingercloud was almost certain——

Hu Xu, must be one of the three great demons who created the illusory realm!

And the power of this illusory abyss is indeed astonishing.

Then such powerful summoning, to only be one of the three great demons.

Although the strength of those two great demons is unknown, even if they are weaker than Huanxu, they shouldn't be weak to that extent.

Of course, this also made Jiang Yun understand that when he was in the Nine-Colored Realm, he devoured the Illusory Demon and the Undefined Soul Fire. The Illusory Demon's words were not false at all.

He's still alive!

How could someone who is capable of creating the greatest power on an extra-domain battlefield be so easily killed by themselves

He killed was just a being like a shadow of himself.

Even then, Jiang Yun also thought of what Cheng Zuo had told him before, that the time when demonic beasts on the battlefield outside the domain suddenly became intelligent was eleven years ago.

At that time, I was questioning the battle between Tiannei and Dao Wuming. In order to die with Dao Wuming, I summoned Xu coming out.

Although I later lost consciousness and was brought into the nameless wasteland, I presume that the Void Caller I summoned has already been dealt with by Dao Wuming.

It is probably because of the illusory death that the true form of Huanxu became aware, and then deliberately urged the monsters from the outer battlefield to gather together and frequently attack each town guarding the realm.

As for the alliance between the "Bu Gui Tian" and "Xu Wang Ya," two factions, to be honest, I had already guessed it from the beginning. I even suspected that Huan Xu might have originally belonged to the criminals of Mie Yu.

These prisoners, after being sent to the extraterrestrial battlefield, knowing that there was no hope of returning, some might choose to kill a large number of monsters, but others would choose to mingle with the monsters.

However, what surprised Jiang Yun the most was that there were actually people from nine clans here!

I just don't know if these people from the Nine Clans entered the Outer Battlefield after the Dao Domain appeared, or if they were already in the Outer Battlefield before the Dao Domain existed.

Besides, regarding the other four major forces, Ginger Cloud could guess their purposes on the outer battlefield.

The realms of Bu Gu Tian and Xu Wang Ya are nothing but tools for swallowing or destroying the Dao Domain.

The Gate of Life and Death naturally exists to protect the domain.

Then, the Daoist Venerable and the Nine Clans also established their own forces on this extraterritorial battlefield. What were their purposes

With these thoughts flashing through his mind, Jiang Yun only felt a little confused. So, he simply asked the question out loud.

Originally, Jiang Yun thought that Shu Kuang might not answer his question, or perhaps he didn't know the answer himself. However, to his surprise, Shu Kuang readily gave him an answer.

"The Nine Tribes are here for one purpose - to find their young master!"

"Young master!"

This answer suddenly reminded Jiang Yun of the dream he had during his coma.

In a dream, nine powerful figures from the Nine Clans encountered an infant within the passage connecting the Outer Battlefield and the Dao Domain.

Nine tribes, they all have a common master. This man possesses the power of annihilation, and his strength is unparalleled even within the Annihilation Realm.

But for some reason, this person led nine tribes out of the Desolate Domain, creating a Dao Domain with a single seed. In the end, it seems they were killed by the nine tribes uniting against them.

Then the Nine Clans' sought-after young master would naturally be this strongman's descendant, and it was even highly possible that he was the infant.

Ginger's heart once again rose with the thought she had entertained before: "That baby, what is its identity Could it be...me"

At this time, Shūkuáng spoke again, "Well, Jiāng Dao-yǒu, I've told you everything I can."

Although there were some minor misunderstandings between us before, I hope you can now see our sincerity.

Shūkuáng's words snapped Jiāng Yún back to reality. He looked at Shūkuáng, realizing that there was something more behind the other man's words.

As expected, the scholar hesitated for a moment before saying, "Although our Death and Life Gate is responsible for guarding this outer battlefield, not every cultivator stationed here is from our Death and Life Gate!"

"Our Death Gate is extremely strict in selecting members. Among the five realms that fellow cultivators have experienced, only our group and figures like Cheng Zuo who lead others are considered members of the Death Gate."

"To be frank with you, Elder Jiang, the reason we know your identity is because, starting from Cheng Zu, the successive four leaders of the town guardians informed us about your situation."

In short, they all have great faith in Jiang Dao You, so I dare to invite Jiang Dao You to join our Gate of Life and Death!

Jiang Yun finally understood, this was the real reason they told him these things and even let him kill the demon beast Taiyang!

"Shu Kuang continued, "Jiang Dao You, although Xu Huangya and Bu Guitian are powerful on the outer battlefield, our Shensi Men has been able to exist until today, which is also not to be underestimated."

"As long as you join our Death Gate, we can provide you with every convenience possible, no matter what you come here to do.”

I have to say, the bookworm's words really touched Jiang Yun's heart.

My purpose in coming here is to find Yuè Rúhuǒ and Lù Xiào yú.

Even bookworms as they are, they wouldn't know the whereabouts of these three. But since they can contact each other, they must have teleportation arrays set up between each town realm, or every level region.

If you just become one of them, then you can greatly shorten the time you spend on this outer battlefield and return to the Dao domain sooner.

"Also, rest assured that for Ginger the Daoist friend, we will not require you to be like us, guarding a certain boundary realm."

"You can stay here, or return to the Tao domain, or even, we can send you into the Extinction domain!"

A hint of surprise flashed in Jiang Yun's eyes.

I didn't expect the influence of the Gate of Life and Death to be so vast, it even involves the Realm of Extinction.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Yun asked, "Why are you so special to me"

Shu Kuang smiled faintly, without answering. Instead, he turned his gaze to the monster Taiyang, who had been lying honestly under Jiang Yun's feet from beginning to end!

He has already given the answer!

Since Ginger Cloud can easily subdue even the king-level monsters in the fifth-tier region, perhaps with time, Ginger Cloud could subdue higher-level monsters and thus completely eliminate the threat of monsters on the outer battlefield.

Of course, if they knew that Jiang Yun had already killed six or seven demon beasts like Wei Jiu, and even killed Huan Xu, the ones inviting Jiang Yun now would definitely not be Shu Kuang and Yan Zhao.

Although Jiang Yun didn't know much about the Gate of Life and Death, just knowing that they could select a large number of cultivators to guard the outer battlefield and protect the safety of the Dao domain was enough to make Jiang Yun admire them.

But, if one were to allow oneself to join them, to become one of them, one wouldn't be able to.

There are too many things on my own plate, and it wouldn't feel right to take advantage of the benefits given by the Gate of Life and Death without contributing. I'm not willing to accept such a deal.

Also, there are just too many powerful enemies.

If one were to join the Gate of Life and Death, what if Dao Zun and Huanxu found out They might very well lead an army of demonic beasts, powerful beings from the Land of No Return, and even the Dao God Temple itself, to wipe out the Gate of Life and Death in one fell swoop.

Therefore, facing the expectant gazes of Shūkuáng and Yànzhāo, after a long silence, Jiāngyún finally spoke: “This matter is too important. Let me consider it first!”

The bookworm laughed aloud, "Alright, though our conditions are humble, Daoist friend is welcome to stay here for a while."

Jiang Yun nodded, just about to speak, but at that moment, Tai Yang, who had been lying motionless on the ground all along, suddenly stood up and let out a deafening roar!
