a brief moment of silence, Ye Tian Shi's voice rang out in Jin Cun Yao's mind once more: "When someone from the Dao Shen Dian arrives, wake me up. Even with my last breath, I will protect him unharmed...Jin Yi Fei lay on the ground, his chest completely caved in. Although he wasn't dead, he was extremely injured. It wouldn't be easy for him to recover.

But Jin Yifei seemed to feel no pain in his body. His gaze, filled with boundless hatred, was fixed on Jiang Yun who lay motionless just a few feet away.

In the beginning, when he fought against Jiang Yun, Jiang Yun only managed to severely injure him with the help of Xue Mu Cheng.

However, now that his own strength has improved, he was once again severely injured by Jiang Yun in their rematch. This made the hatred in his heart towards Jiang Yun reach its peak.

Even if it weren't for the seal on his body that prevented him from moving, he would have climbed to Jiang Yun's side and bitten off his throat.

Jiang Yun looked up at the sky, which was covered in dark clouds. He listened to the increasingly closer footsteps of Xue Ran Yi, a wry smile creeping onto his face.

Although he knew that what awaited him next was true death, there was no fear in his heart, only endless regret.

Although he had tried his best, the disparity in strength prevented him from stopping Xue Ran Yi and Jin Yi Fei. He was powerless to protect the 100,000 people of Mang Shan.

Now, he can only hope that his grandfather is truly a monster who can sense righteousness. If so, let alone the blood-stained clothes, even the entire Shanhai Realm would be unable to threaten the safety of Jiang Village.

"I never expected that in just a few years, you would grow so much!"

In Jiang Yun's vision, a blood-stained figure appeared. However, he seemed oblivious to it, his mind consumed only by his grandfather, Yue Rou, and Jiang Village.

Although his decade of traveling abroad allowed him to achieve the aspirations he had while living in Jiangcun, looking back now, he would rather still be that uncultured country boy who couldn't cultivate.

In that case, at least he could stay with his grandfather until the end.

"Now, let me see just how many secrets you're hiding!"

Xue Ran Yi completely ignored Jin Yi Fei who was lying there, barely clinging to life. He reached out and grabbed Jiang Yun's head, pulling him up by force.

The powerful divine sense of the earth protector directly pierced into Jiang Yun's mind, beginning to search his soul.

"Buzz!"

The blood-stained divine consciousness entered Ginger Cloud's body, causing his whole body to tremble violently. Every image in his mind shattered in an instant, and despite his best efforts to maintain his composure, he became dazed and fell into a coma.

"I advise you to let him go!"

Just then, a cold voice suddenly rang out behind Xue Ran Yi, causing her to turn around in alarm. She saw a middle-aged man slowly walking out from the Mang Mountain.

This man was elegantly dressed in a green long robe. He had three long whiskers under his jaw, and he looked just like a scholar. His face remained calm as he gazed at Jiang Yun, who was captured by the blood-stained hand.

Xue Ran Yi's blood-stained eyes narrowed slightly, "If I'm not mistaken, you should be Liu Tian Ren, the strongest demon in the legendary Ten Wan Mang Mountains!"

The man nodded and said, "Yes, I am Liu Tianren!"

Blood-Stained Clothes gave a cold smile and raised the Ginger Cloud in her hand: "It seems this human boy is indeed from your Hundred Thousand Rugged Mountains. I'm very curious, why would you accept and allow humans to live among you"

Liu Tianren remained calm and said, "You don't need to worry about that. I'll say it again, you best let him go!"

"What if I don't"

"Then you'd probably be stuck here forever!"

"Ha ha ha!" Xue Ran Yi suddenly burst into laughter. "Interesting, do you think you can kill me"

Although Xue Ran's heart was filled with suspicion, he couldn't understand why he hadn't sensed Liu Tianren's arrival at all. However, through the fluctuations of energy emanating from Liu Tianren, he knew that the other party was merely a cultivator at the Dao Ling realm and wouldn't pose any threat to him whatsoever. Therefore, he was completely fearless.

Liu Tianren shrugged and said, "I can't kill you, but someone else can!"

Xue Ran Yi raised an eyebrow and said, "Who!"

"I!"

As the voice of Blood-Stained Clothes fell, a sudden sound rang out.

Although it was just a single character, the sound seemed to come from all directions at once, as if the speaker had countless avatars. It echoed loudly and incessantly, reverberating in Xue Ran Yi's ear like a relentless drumbeat.

Even the blood-stained clothes couldn't tell where the other person was, nor could they even make out if the voice belonged to a man or a woman.

Blood stained her clothes, and a cold smile played on her lips as she spoke in a chilling voice: “Putting on a show, come out and face me!”

After finishing his words, Bloodstained Robe extended a finger and pointed at the blood dragon that had just collided with Ginger Cloud. The blood dragon instantly exploded, transforming into countless drops of blood that shot in all directions.

There was still quite a bit of blood, which directly rushed towards Liu Tianren.

However, Liu Tianren acted as if he hadn't seen it at all. He stood there without dodging or moving, and even a half-smile appeared on his face.

Just as those few drops of blood were about to hit him, they suddenly exploded, like an invisible wall had appeared before him.

As for the blood drops that flew in all directions, they too vanished without a trace.

For the first time, a look of surprise flickered across the bloodstained face.

He was just probing with that move, but he didn't expect that not only did it fail to draw out the person speaking in secret, but the other party easily defused his move without revealing their hand.

In terms of strength, it seems to be no weaker than myself!

Jiang Yun didn't know that apart from Xue Mu Cheng, no Heavenly Favor Realm expert had been born in the Shan Hai Realm for a very, very long time. However, Xuedian Yi and the others were well aware of this.

Therefore, a Dihujing within the Shanhai Realm is the most powerful existence. Since this unknown person's strength is not below Xue Ran Yi, it means that the other party should also be a Dihujing master.

Throughout the entire world of mountains and seas, masters like Di Hu Jing are few and far between. Xue Ran Yi didn't expect that within these one hundred thousand Mang Mountains, there would still be another hidden master.

Even if you are evenly matched with me, I am not without a chance of winning. Since you dare not come out, then I will directly destroy these 100,000 Mang Mountains and see if you come out!

Bloodstained Clothes didn't have the heart to search for Ginger Cloud's soul at the moment. He held Ginger Cloud in one hand, while the other hand clenched into a claw and lunged towards the Ten Wan Mang Mountain, grasping at empty space.

"Up with you!"

"Boom boom!"

Under the grip of the blood-stained robe, the earth began to tremble violently. The tremor spread outwards relentlessly, reaching thousands of miles in an instant.

"You, really want me to come out"

However, just then, the voice sounded again, still coming from all directions, rumbling incessantly.

"If you have the guts, come out!"

"Alright, I shall grant your wish!"

As the voice faded, the tremors of the earth intensified suddenly. And in this intensification, the blood-stained face became increasingly grave.

Because the magnitude of this tremor was so intense, even with his own protective barrier, he couldn't help but sway uncontrollably.

This made the blood-stained heart finally have a sliver of unease, and his feet involuntarily took a step back. Facing the emptiness, he spoke loudly, "Who, who are you!"

After a brief silence, the other party replied: "Actually, we've crossed paths before, but it seems you've forgotten!"
