, how did you do it""And what about that desolate pattern shield How is that even possible The combined desolate patterns of nine people shouldn't be enough to form such a powerful desolate pattern sh...As soon as his words fell, Jiang Yun's figure suddenly vanished and appeared within the light of the teleportation array, smashing out a powerful punch.

"Bang!"

Accompanied by a dull sound, the entire head of the sea clan, even his body, exploded with a deafening roar under Jiang Yun's punch, shattering into pieces!

...But as he neared death, an expression of disbelief crossed his face.

He obviously didn't expect, that Jiang Yun would be able to break through the teleportation formation at the moment of its activation and kill him.

Jiang Yun's mastery of formations wasn't particularly high, but breaking through the most basic transmission formation contained within these transmission array stones was effortless.

Just then, the teleportation array's light flared suddenly, the formation finally activated, and with the already shattered corpses of the sea creatures, it vanished without a trace.

Ginger Cloud returned to the middle-aged man's side, his face gloomy. He stared at him intently and said, "Tell me, where is this place What happened to the Question Dao Sect What happened to this Sea of Mountains and Seas"

Although this man had never heard of Ginger Cloud's name, he recalled the strangeness surrounding her appearance and the slowly fading black hole that hadn't completely disappeared yet.

Now, hearing Jian Yun's string of questions —

This middle-aged man could naturally already guess that Jiang Yun seemed to have just returned to this Shan Hai world!

With the appearance of this thought, the man suddenly realized and said, "This is Dongshan Prefecture. Senior must have returned from the mirage, right"

"Yes!" Jiang Yun nodded. "How long has the mirage been open"

"It's been five years!"

Five years!

Ginger was stunned!

He remembered Wang Lin saying that the flow of time in the Shanhai Realm was the same as in the Qingzhuo Huang Realm, and that his own time inside the Mirage Tower, plus the time spent in the Yinling World, amounted to only four years.

That is to say, on the way back, it actually took nearly a year!

Obviously, most of the time was spent in illusions, especially during the process of experiencing the memory of the underworld beast.

If it were a normal year, for cultivators, a year wouldn't be long at all. But in the perilous world of Mountains and Seas, a year is enough time for earth-shattering changes to occur.

"I am Zhao Gang, and this is my son, Zhao Ruicheng!"

A middle-aged man pulled his son over and said, "Quickly, kneel down and thank the senior for saving your life!"

The boy hastily obeyed and knelt down before Jiang Yun, bowing deeply and saying: “Junior Zhao Rucheng, thank you for saving my life!”

The boy's words brought Jiang Yun back to her senses. With a flick of her sleeve, she helped Zhao Rucheng up and said, "No need to thank me."

As he spoke, Ginger Cloud also saw the body of the elder he had deliberately kept. He pondered, "That elder…"

"That is my father!"

Zhao Gang's face once again wore a look of sadness as he said, "Our family was suddenly attacked by this group of sea creatures last night. Out of thirteen people, only our three generations managed to escape... Now..."

By this point, Zhao Gang was sobbing uncontrollably and unable to continue. Jiang Yun also understood why Zhao Ru Cheng harbored such intense hatred at such a young age. She sighed and said, "I understand. This isn't a place to talk. Let's go somewhere else!"

Three people entered the dense forest below. Zhao Gang went to bury his father's body, then found a large tree and sat down.

Ginger Cloud took out two pills and handed them to the Zhao father and son, telling them to take them first.

After swallowing the pill, Zhao Ru Cheng immediately leaned against a big tree and fell asleep.

This poor child, in just two days, has experienced the loss of his home and family, narrowly escaping death. Now that he has finally found temporary safety, he is exhausted and can no longer hold on.

Looking at Zhao Ruocheng who was fast asleep, Jiang Yun silently reached out a finger, and a small flame appeared beside Zhao Ruocheng.

Though the flames were not large, they emanated a deep warmth. Even the raindrops that constantly dripped through the gaps in the leaves, upon touching the flames, would instantly vaporize and rise up in wisps.

After he had finished everything, Jiang Yun finally looked at Zhao Gang and said: "Tell me, what exactly happened to the Wudao Sect Tell me in detail, don't leave out a single thing!"

"Yes!"

At this moment, Zhao Gang not only felt gratitude towards Jiang Yun, but also Jiang Yun's displayed strength had also filled him with awe. Therefore, he hurriedly said: "What the Sea Clan member just said wasn't entirely true!"

Ginger Cloud heard this and felt a sudden ease in her heart, saying: “Go ahead!”

> As early as a year ago, the allied forces of the three major powers broke through the Question Dao Sect's protective mountain array, forcing the Question Dao Sect to give up its closed-door state and begin sending disciples to meet battle.

Although a corner of the Huoshan Grand Formation was breached, its power remained. As long as that damaged section could be held, it could still hold out for a considerable amount of time.

At the beginning, this was indeed the case. The Question Dao Sect relied on its formidable array and managed to stalemate with the three great allied armies.

This standoff lasted for three months!

But just then, a sudden change occurred!

The Wen Daozong's protective mountain formation suddenly vanished, allowing the three major forces to charge in and break through the gates of the Wen Daozong, entering its inner sanctum.

It goes without saying that under those circumstances, the numerous disciples of Daozong were simply no match for their opponents. They didn't even have the strength to resist, and were slaughtered outright.

Fortunately, at this time, the head of the Wudao Sect, Tian You, stepped forward proactively. He offered to surrender in exchange for sparing the lives of the others.

The three major factions agreed to Dao Tianyou's terms, and although most of the disciples indeed scattered and fled, a small number of disciples and elders remained steadfast and refused to leave.

But no matter what, with Dao Tianyou's capture and the mass exodus of disciples, even Wenda Five Peaks were taken by others. Overnight, the Wenda Sect was essentially defunct.

Here, Zhao Gang stopped, nervously looking at Jiang Yun's reaction.

Although Jiang Yun's face was filled with intense anger, he forcefully suppressed it and said: "Within the Qidao Sect, besides the Sect Master, there is another person named Gu Bulao, and there is also a hidden peak. How is it"

Zhao Gang was stunned for a moment before shaking his head cautiously and saying, "I haven't heard of it, but I heard that the sect has already been completely occupied by the three major forces. Besides the disciples who refuse to flee or surrender, everyone else either fled or died in battle!"

"The person the senior mentioned must have run away!"

"Impossible!" Jiang Yun suddenly roared.

In his heart, he believed his master's strength was absolutely the greatest in the Wudao Sect. Everyone else could potentially die in battle, but his master was absolutely impossible to die in, let alone run away.

And there are three senior brothers and sisters on Cangfeng Peak. Unless Master runs away, they won't run away either!

Jiang Yun's sudden rage startled Zhao Gang, who shut his mouth and dared not speak another word.

Gingercloud also realized his own gaffe. He took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing his emotions and said: "Why did the protective formation of the Wudao Sect suddenly fail"

"Because, because your sect, your sect has a traitor!"

"Who!"

Many people, but led by Jian Dao Peak Master Wei Zhengyang and Bai Shou Peak Master Wan Hongbo!

Hearing these two names, Jiang Yun's heart was not too surprised, and even, a strange smile appeared on his face.

But in that smile, his eyes held a terrifying murderous intent that made Zhao Gang's heart pound with fear!
