rds fell, Luo Wenyan took a step forward, and his figure instantly vanished without a trace.And just as Luo Wenyan vanished, the elderly man with a complexion like pale gold who had always been seated...Although the old man had been digging tunnels underground in this plain for over twenty days, he always entered and exited with the descendants of the Emperor, so he didn't know the exact location of the tunnel.

Ginger Cloud looked out, and this plain was covered with lush green grass as far as the eye could see.

Not even with the use of divine sight could one find the location of that passage within a short time.

However, Ginger Cloud merely glanced at the plain for a moment before withdrawing her gaze and gently twitching her nose.

Sniffing the faintest hint of blood in the air, Jiang Yun murmured to himself, "It seems that this emperor's path of cultivation was related to blood. Therefore, his descendants also cultivate with blood."

"Well, that makes things easier for me."

As soon as the words left his mouth, Jiang Yun had already extended a finger. At its tip, a drop of blood oozed out, suddenly breaking away from his finger and shooting forward.

This drop of blood surged into the sky, suspended above this vast plain.

Then, in the midst of the fresh blood, a sudden surge of energy exploded, like a tidal wave, spreading rapidly in all directions with frantic speed.

Just after counting breaths, this aura had already covered the entire plain.

Jiang Yun used his own blood as a medium, searching for the specific location where the bloody scent came from.

After a moment or so, the single drop of ginger cloud's blood suddenly transformed into a ray of light, charging straight towards a certain direction on the plain. It finally hovered above a specific location.

Jiang Yun's figure flashed, and he had already arrived at the location of the blood. He looked down at the earth below.

On the ground, there was still no trace to be seen. Even when Jiang Yun released his divine sense, he couldn't sense any abnormalities.

However, Ginger Cloud knew that the passage must be beneath this very earth.

After a moment's thought, Jiang Yun didn't choose to blast the ground open. Instead, he circulated the power of earth, enveloping his body, and in an instant, he silently merged with the earth itself.

Underground, it is naturally a darkness, only with endless soil.

Ginger Cloud was not in a hurry either, just like he had transformed into soil himself, slowly creeping towards the depths of the earth.

After plunging into the earth for about a thousand feet, Jiang Yun's figure finally came to a stop.

Before him, a dark opening also appeared.

Looking at this opening, although his divine sense entered it, it had no effect at all. However, Jiang Yun knew he had found the right place.

Because in that old man's memory, he entered through this opening.

Especially standing at the mouth of the cave, that originally very faint smell of blood also became slightly more intense.

Jiang Yun stood at the mouth of the cave, not in a hurry to enter. Instead, he muttered to himself: "Digging a tunnel is understandable, but why does there smell of blood"

Could it be that the descendant of the great emperor needs to use his own blood as a guide to find his ancestor, which is the specific location of the world where the great emperor resides

After much deliberation, Jiang Yun felt that this was the most reasonable possibility.

And, has this passage actually been cleared through

Because of his incomplete memory of the elder, Jiang Yun only knew that not long ago, the elder had been taken out of the cave by the descendant of the emperor to capture him! Yes, it wasn't to kill him, but to capture him.

This is also something that Ginger Cloud couldn't figure out, not understanding what the other party wanted to do by capturing her.

As for whether the passage was successful, where the other prisoners are, and where the descendant of the emperor is now, Jiang Yun knows nothing about any of it.

Instead of pondering here, why not go inside and see for yourself All the answers must be within.

Jiang Yun didn't hesitate any longer, finally stepping into the mouth of the cave.

Although divine consciousness is ineffective here, Jiang Yun's eyesight is unaffected, so he can see the surrounding situation clearly.

The width of the passage was only a few feet, not very wide. Even if several people walked side by side, it wouldn't feel crowded.

On the cavern walls, there are strange patterns resembling threads, stretching continuously into the depths of the passage.

Ginger Cloud stared at the lines for a long time, but couldn't figure out what they meant.

However, it wasn't hard to tell that the bloody smell came from those lines. He boldly reached out and touched one, only to find that these lines seemed to be growing on the cave wall itself, fitting perfectly with the wall.

Ginger Cloud tried again, lightly punching the cave wall. However, he discovered that the wall was incredibly hard; his punch didn't even stir up a speck of dust.

Ginger retracted her palm and frowned, "Strange, how did they dig this tunnel"

Along the path beneath her feet, Ginger Cloud carefully continued walking toward the interior of the passage, while also calculating the approximate distance in her mind.

The entire passage is not a straight line, but a winding one.

As Jiang Yun delved deeper, the metallic scent of blood entering his nostrils grew stronger and stronger. Moreover, on both sides of the cave walls, those strange patterns became increasingly frequent.

Looking at these lines, although there was no expression on Jiang Yun's face, his heart was filled with a solemn feeling.

Because, when the number of these patterns reached a certain level, the bloody smell actually caused his mind to tremble with a hint of excitement, giving him an urge to kill.

Jiang Yun could be said to have been through countless battles, with countless lives lost at his hands. To the stench of blood, he had long since grown accustomed.

Needless to say, his determination was unshakeable. Even if the heavens collapsed before him, he would treat it as nothing.

However, just a little bit of bloody stimulation could affect his mind. This is definitely not normal.

Even I was affected, so if it were other cultivators, I'm afraid they would have long since lost their composure under the stimulation of this bloody smell!

But in the old man's memory, he had stayed here for over twenty days, yet his mind was never affected in the slightest.

"Could it be that the rune in his pupils is what protects him and the other prisoners from being affected by this bloody scent"

Ginger's doubts grew within her heart, but her steps never faltered.

By now, Jiang Yun had walked almost four thousand li within this passage.

He didn't know, either, if he had already left his original world. He was unsure what lay beyond the passage and how far the end of the passage still was.

Even, if he continues on like this, he wouldn't dare guarantee that his composure would not eventually be completely lost.

Since he had already traveled such a long distance, there was no way for him to turn back. He could only do his best to keep his mind steady and slow down his pace.

In this way, after having walked nearly ten thousand miles in total, ahead of Jiang Yun, there finally appeared… a figure! The figure was seated on the ground, motionless. Behind him, was the end of the cave wall.

The walls of the cave, on all four sides, were covered with those patterns, like a mountain tiger, dense and numerous, making one look in fear, shuddering uncontrollably.

This figure was a middle-aged man, of ordinary appearance, with his eyes closed, like a corpse.

And upon seeing his appearance, Jiang Yun immediately recognized him. The man was the descendant of the emperor, the mastermind behind this hunt.

Jiang Yun stopped his figure and stared intently at the other party.

It looks like the other party is dead, but Jiang Yun doesn't believe it. With so many calculations laid out, they wouldn't just die here for no reason.

Just as if he knew what Jiang Yun was thinking, the man suddenly opened his eyes. His pupils were also blood red, staring at Jiang Yun, and then he grinned and said, "I'll give you a chance to change your fate. Do you want it"

Hearing the man's inexplicable words and smelling the almost unbearable stench of blood all around, Jiang Yun forcefully suppressed his increasingly frantic heartbeat, and said coldly: "No!"

But the man's smile deepened: "No, then why did you come here!"

As he spoke, the man slowly rose from the ground.

But just as he stood up, Jiang Yun's face suddenly changed, and his figure abruptly retreated rapidly towards the rear!possible!"Konoe squeezed out three words from between his teeth.Others may be unaware, but as the master of the Formation World, Tenno could not possibly be ignorant.
