nly cautiously said, "Ancient Senior, I don't know anything else. After all, the era in which that Apothecary God existed is far too distant from me."Jiang Yun remained silent.Indeed, if it were truly...Jiang Haochu's narration made Jiang Yun understand that the Shen Clan had always been prepared for danger in times of peace, making plans for any problems the clan might encounter.

All of this preparation was, at least for now, useless. However, because Grandpa suddenly entered the Imperial Tombs, Jiang Haochu had to use it ahead of schedule.

As the patriarch of the Mirage Clan, Jiang Haochu truly lived up to Emperor Xuanyuan's evaluation of him - a deep and cunning strategist! Although today's events were all beyond Jiang Haochu's expectations, he was still able to achieve a stunning reversal in just one hour.

Ginger Yun carefully recalled Ginger Hao's performance throughout this entire process. In fact, he never really made a move or said much.

Completely without bloodshed, and without harming himself in the slightest, he successfully tested people's hearts, exposed the treacherous clans, and single-handedly quelled the internal threats.

This kind of method, this kind of mentality, far surpasses others.

Ginger Yun believes that if it were Ginger Mu, he probably wouldn't be able to do as well as Ginger Haochu.

This is also why Jiang Haochu became the clan leader, and Jiang Mu settled in the chaotic world.

Even so, Jiang Haochu still felt regret.

Because his true purpose was not merely to draw out Su Dingqian, but also to expose the emperor who was secretly supporting him! Naturally, this also left Jiang Yun puzzled. Where did Jiang Hao get the confidence to lure out the emperor

Four clans, eighty thousand cultivators, plus a few quasi-emperors, would definitely not be the opponent of an emperor.

Even if the grandfather left behind his Emperor's power before he departed, it would be like Su Dingqian's black twig. It was an inanimate object; using it once meant losing it forever.

Unless, it could kill the emperor in one fell swoop.

But, is that possible

The time Grandfather became the Emperor was not long, and compared to other Emperors, his strength should also be the weakest.

That Ginger Haochu's approach was nothing short of reckless, leading the Mirage Clan straight into a death trap.

Faced with Jian Yun's question, Jian Hao smiled faintly and said, "If it really comes, there will naturally be a way to deal with it."

Obviously, he wasn't prepared to tell Jiang Yun what he was relying on.

Ginger Cloud wasn't angry. This should be the biggest secret of Ginger Hao, even the entire Mirage Clan. It's normal that he wouldn't tell her.

At this moment, Jiang Haochu suddenly said, "By the way, what do you think of the mirage demon, Mirage Elder"

Jiang Yunchu knew in her heart that this was to explain to herself how Shenshi had deceived her.

However, let me judge them... Ginger Yun shook her head with a smile and said, "I haven't spent much time with them."

"Especially Elder Shen, I just met him recently. How could I possibly have any opinions on them!"

Moreover, they are all seniors, and as a junior, I have no right to evaluate them!

Ginger Yun's answer made Ginger Hao chuckle, "I didn't expect you to be so slick."

"Alright, since you're unwilling to say it, then I'll tell you!"

"The Mirage Elder and the Mirage Demon, they were both created by our Mirage Clan, they are our guardian demons, and they can also communicate with each other."

Although they are considered one of us, because they were created, their life forms are different from ours. You should understand this.

Jiang Yun had indeed heard the Mirage Demon say before that he could only exist in the Realm of Chaos and couldn't enter the Four Realms Sanctuary.

And as for the ancient being of mirage, it should be exactly the opposite, only able to exist in the realm of hidden spaces and unable to enter the chaotic world.

Jiang Haochu continued, "No matter what form of life they are, no matter what they have done, they are certainly loyal to our Hai Clan and would never betray us."

Ginger lightly narrowed her eyes and said, "Then in their hearts, they probably don't consider me a member of the Mirage Clan, do they"

Although Jiang Yun still didn't know what Jiang Haochu wanted to say, he could clearly hear that his words were meant for Shen Lao and Shen Yao.

Because both Shen Lao and Shen Yao are putting themselves at risk for the safety of their clan, constantly allowing this outsider into the forbidden zone! "Yes!"

Jiang Haochu nodded and said, "Today's incident was a test for the old man Shen as well."

To be honest, I never thought about testing the old mirage. But yesterday, Jiang Ming came to me at the order of his father, telling me that the mirage demon and the old mirage might be harmful to you, which made me realize it!

Hearing this, Jiang Yun couldn't help but frown and said, "Clan Chief, although they treat me as an outsider, they also told me about the dangers of the forbidden zone. I went there voluntarily."

"Based on this alone, to say they want to do me harm seems unfair to them!"

Jiang Haochu shook his head and said, "Fair enough!"

"Because, they led you to the forbidden zone, their true purpose was to protect themselves!"

Before Ginger Yun could ask, Ginger Haochu continued, "The Nine Clan Forbidden Technique can change their forms of life!"

"Ouch!"

Jiang Yun's eyes widened, a look of realization spreading across his face. Finally, he understood.

The Mirage Demon and the Mirage Elder constantly urged, even pressured, themselves to enter the forbidden zone as soon as possible, to find their nine clans' people, and perform the nine clans' forbidden techniques. This was all because they wanted to change their own forms of life.

After that moment of realization, Gingercloud hurriedly pressed on, "Besides being able to alter their life forms, can the Nine Clan Forbidden Arts also help the Mirage Clan resist the Emperor"

Jiang Hao nodded thoughtfully and said, "I think so!"

"The specifics of the Nine Clans' Forbidden Arts are known only to Ancestor One."

"But when the elder Shen followed by the ancestor's side back then, he asked the ancestor if there was any way to change his and the mirage demon's life forms. It was then that the ancestor mentioned the Nine Clan Forbidden Art, saying that the Nine Clan Forbidden Art could do anything."

Originally, it was just a casual remark from the Ancestor, but apparently, both the Mirage Demon and Mirage Elder took it to heart.

It's a pity they can't enter the restricted area themselves, and they dare not let others in either.

Just in time, the Ancestor entered the Imperial Tomb, and you happened to appear. This finally allowed them to find a suitable candidate!

All in all, Ginger Ming's reminder surprised me a little, but I also believed it.

"Therefore, when I feigned my death today, I intentionally had the old man, Shen Lao, take you away. I wanted to see if he would seize this opportunity to continue urging you to enter the forbidden zone."

"As for what happened afterward, you already know. I apologize on his behalf for what Elder Shen did."

At this point, Jiang Haochu actually stood up and bowed to Jiang Yun with his fist.

Jian Yun dodged with a flash, smiling and saying, "Chieftain, there's no need to apologize."

After all, the Nine Clan Forbidden Technique really could save the Mirage Clan, so they weren't exactly lying to me.

"Still the same words, if the chief elder is unwilling to lead the Mirage tribe into the chaotic realm, then I'm willing to go to the forbidden land for the Mirage tribe and find the people of the Nine Clans!"

Jiang Haochu stared deeply at Jiang Yun, and after a long time, a smile reappeared on his face: "You are a good child!"

"But my people, the denizens of the mirage, are not yet at our wit's end. We do not need you to risk your life saving us."

There are some things I can't tell you now, but you'll understand later!

Evidently, even now, Jiang Haochu still has great confidence that he can lead the Shèn clan through the difficulties without Jiang Wànlǐ to oversee them.

Ginger Cloud was indeed very curious, but she didn't ask.

Jiang Hao initially stretched languidly and said, "Alright, you've worked hard today too, get some rest..." However, before Jiang Hao could finish his sentence, his expression abruptly changed.

Almost at the same time, a voice rang in Jiang Yun's mind: "Not good, an emperor has arrived!"

And above the sky, a voice with a hint of amusement rang out: "Greetings, Chieftain of the Mirage Clan! I have come to pay my respects!"

Jiang Haochu suddenly stood up and said, "Emperor Xing!"rying to recover his strength as much as possible and prepare for Gu Yin's next attack.Jiang Yun is not difficult to judge, Gu Yin's strength should have just broken through and reached the quasi-empe...
