was so thick that it condensed into a heavy cloud. Though the fog below was slightly less dense, Jiang Yun could clearly feel that the earth beneath him had become much softer. It seemed as if he was...Although Dao Tianyou was puzzled, he didn't dare to ask. He just continued kneeling there.

Dao Tianyun didn't need him to ask, he continued, "Do you still remember when we two once went together on a mission to eliminate two demon beasts Back then, you were still my senior brother!"

Dao Tianyou raised his head, a look of reminiscence on his face.

I have indeed worked with Dao Tianyun on missions before, more than once. However, it's been a long time, and I can't quite remember the specifics anymore.

Dao Tianyun didn't look at him and said to himself, "Back then, when we were acting separately, after I killed that monster, I thought that in order to completely eradicate the monster menace, I should exterminate its entire clan."

But after you found out, not only did you stop me, but you also, as my senior brother, gave me a good scolding.

Even after returning to the sect, you still reported this matter, claiming that I was too bloodthirsty and lacked compassion, resulting in me receiving punishment!

Hearing this, Dao Tianyou's eyes widened to their limit, his face revealing an expression of disbelief. He stammered, "Could it be that you have harbored a grudge against me all these years just because of that little incident back then"

"A small matter"

"Dao Tianyun's eyes flashed with a cold light as he said, 'For you, it might indeed be a small matter, but I am a person who holds grudges, and I most despise people pointing fingers at me!'"

Dao Tianyou has remembered it, indeed there was such a thing.

However, everything I did at the time was according to the sect's rules. Although that monster should have been killed, it didn't harm the entire clan, so there wasn't anything wrong with it.

However, unexpectedly, Dao Tianyou would actually hold a grudge against me for such a trivial matter, something I had already forgotten!

It was precisely because of this incident that he now deliberately pointed the finger at the monster disciples of the Shan Hai Fen Zong.

At this moment, Dao Tianyou looked at Dao Tiyun before him, and for the first time, he felt a deep fear towards his fellow disciple.

It's not fear of his status or his power, but fear of his vindictive nature!

With a forceful inhalation, Tian You trembled again as he spoke, "Brother, about what happened back then, my junior brother was wrong. Today, I sincerely apologize to my senior brother and hope that my senior brother will not hold a grudge!"

"Bang!" Dao Tianyou's head hit the ground hard once again.

Dao Tianyun gazed at him for a moment before saying in a faint voice, "Well, I'm not such a petty person after all. I can allow the demon clan of Shan Hai Fen Zong to appear in the grand competition, but, I want you to sever one finger and never allow it to regenerate!"

"That way, you'll learn to have a better memory!"

"Click!"

After a moment's hesitation, Dao Tianyou severed one of his fingers, placing it on the ground before him.

Looking at this severed finger, Dao Tianyun suddenly raised his foot and stomped on it with all his might. After crushing it thoroughly, he burst into laughter and shouted, "Get out!"

……

A day later, Dao Tianyou appeared once again in the sky above the Shanhai Branch of the Sect.

Standing there, he closed his eyes, his body trembling slightly. His hands were clenched so tightly that his fingernails had dug deep into his palms.

Now, he only has nine fingers left, and they will always remain that way.

Although the wound still throbbed, it was nothing compared to the pain in his heart.

At this moment, he had a sense of despair.

Because he knew very well that even if he lost a finger, the heavens' will probably wouldn't simply let it go.

His true intention was probably to take his own life!

But there was nothing he could do about it.

He is not his opponent;

To report to one's sect is something no one would do out of self-interest and incur the wrath of the Dao Tianyun;

Even if he wanted to run away, it would be impossible.

Once escaped, one would become a fugitive. From then on, though the world was vast, there would be no place for them to call home.

"Well then, death be it. At least I secured the qualification for the disciples of the Shanhai Fenzong and the Monster Clan to appear in this grand competition, sparing them from being implicated by me."

Thinking of this, Dao Tianyou let out a long sigh, his body relaxed, and even a familiar smile appeared on his face. His long sleeves concealed the palm that was missing a finger, and he slowly walked towards the Shan Hai Fen Zong below.

……

At the same time, Jiang Yun's figure reappeared in the world of Yaodao Tian.

Although only one day has passed in reality, he has already spent ten days in the dream realm.

At this moment, the illusionary markings in his eyes had reached five, circling around his pupils and giving his gaze a demonic quality.

This is his harvest during the ten days. Not only did he successfully merge the Mirage Mark and his own Six Desires Eyes together, but he also increased the number of Mirage Marks to five!

However, Gingercloud didn't have time to feel the power of his illusion now. He bowed to the mirage spirit that appeared behind him and said, "Senior, farewell!"

The elder nodded and said, “Go on. Remember that the highest level of illusion magic is not to make fake things appear real, but to create something out of nothing!”

"Whenever you want to enter the Netherbeast's body again, just come here and find me!"

Jiang Yun no longer hesitated, his figure directly surged into the sky, and in an instant, he had left this world and entered the Heavenly Realm of Demons.

Shensi swept over the myriad worlds within Yaodao Heaven. Jiangyun chose a Dao Realm with more cultivators and went there to inquire about news.

Moments later, Gingercloud already had a harvest.

This time, the head of Yaodaozong, Zuoqiu Zi, actually personally led a team to Wenda Tian Guan for the Grand Competition. And it seems that something happened unexpectedly, he had already set off a month ago.

However, Jiang Yun didn't hear any news about his fellow disciples.

This made Jiang Yun unable to help but worry, because according to the Mirage Tower Spirit, his fellow disciples were also sent into the Heavenly Realm of Demons a month ago.

If Bloodrobe hadn't gone with them, they might still have been able to see Bloodrobe, but if Bloodrobe had also left, then it's very likely they wouldn't have been able to keep up with the Yao Daozong team.

Then they would have to rely on their own strength to seek answers from the heavens.

For a group of people who have never traveled through worlds before, this journey is bound to be difficult.

However, security-wise, there shouldn't be any major issues.

After all, they are disciples of the Way Sect.

When the grand competition within the Zhendo Sect was about to begin, I believe no one would proactively go out of their way to cause trouble for disciples of the Zhendo Sect.

No matter what, Jiang Yun couldn't continue to be distracted looking for their whereabouts. He could only hope that he would meet them again within the Heavenly Dao in the future.

Jiang Yun's guess was right. Although Wushang and the others did return a month earlier than him, the day before they arrived, the people from the Yao Dao Sect had already set off.

Although they also found the Yaodaozong and mentioned the names of people like Xuepao and Jingo, they received no response. This left them with no choice but to abandon their original plan and head to Wendaotian on their own.

Luckily, he was unharmed and had some experience. Moreover, when they were leaving the chaotic wasteland, they received gifts from people like Blood Robe, so they weren't short of spirit stones. Therefore, after understanding the route, they went to Wen Daotian through a teleportation array.

Apart from themselves, no one knows where they are now.

……

Now that there were no more obstacles, Jiang Yun didn't delay any longer and directly found a transmission array within this world.

After paying the fee and standing in the teleportation array, as the light of the teleportation array began to shine brightly, Jiang Yun suddenly turned his head, his eyes fixed on the right rear, a flash of fierceness appeared in his eyes!

First released on the Traditional Chinese Novel Networkthers, they stood still, unmoving, merely coldly observing.Because of Ginger Cloud's strength, they couldn't see through him, so they first let this Heavenly Favor go and test the waters. If he could...
