Taoist world

At the edge of the Empty Space Domain, on a piece of abandoned land about a hundred zhang in size, Jiang Yun and Xu Ba sat cross-legged.

After several attempts, the two were still unable to break the Empty Space Domain's blockade of space, and had no choice but to give up.

Xu Ba looked at Jiang Yun, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "My Lord, since we can't break the blockade, why don't we find a place to hide in the Empty Space Domain?"

"That way, even if someone can find us, we can fight if we can win, and if we can't win, at least we can still hold them off for a while."

"If we always stay here, waiting for the people chasing us to arrive, it would be better if there were fewer people."

"Naturally, the greater the probability that we will be killed or captured."

"Only by staying here and waiting for those people to arrive, perhaps, can we still find a way out!"

Jiang Yun speculated that he would probably only be able to break the Empty Space Domain's blockade by borrowing the power of thunder from the You'e Domain, or by the Dream Cauldron awakening again.

However, the Dream Cauldron was sometimes awake and sometimes asleep, and heaven knows when it would awaken again.

As for borrowing the power of thunder, he would need to use the Taixu Shadowing Art.

Since the Dream Cauldron had already reminded him that the Taixu Shadowing Art was a scam, it was naturally best to use it as little as possible.

Therefore, staying here and waiting for the people chasing him to arrive was the most reasonable way!

Xu Ba was not stupid either, and understood Jiang Yun's meaning as soon as he heard it.

It was nothing more than using the battle with those chasing him to see if he could break the Empty Space Domain's blockade.

Although this was not a wise move in his opinion, he also knew that Jiang Yun had made up his mind, so he stopped trying to persuade him.

Jiang Yun closed his eyes, seemingly meditating, but his mind was racing.

His experiences during this period, especially his contact with Song Mo, the actions of the Empty Space Domain, and the appearance of the Dream Cauldron, had added several more doubts to his mind.

"How did the Mysterious Lord know my whereabouts?"

"The Nine Fiends are at odds with each other, and the Nine Fiend Domains are still in a state of division, so how did the Empty Space Domain transmit information about me, and to whom specifically?"

"Has it spread throughout the entire Old Domain, or has it reached the Land of the Fallen?"

Suddenly, Jiang Yun opened his eyes, looked at Xu Ba, and said coldly, "During the time you've been following me, have you secretly contacted the Mysterious Lord?"

"Ah?"

Xu Ba, who was also thinking, was stunned when he heard this question, but quickly shook his head and said, "No!"

"Even if I wanted to contact him, I wouldn't be able to."

"It's always the Mysterious Lord who takes the initiative to contact me, or sends others to give me orders."

Speaking of this, Xu Ba also looked at Jiang Yun and said, "Why does My Lord suspect me?"

Jiang Yun continued to stare at Xu Ba.

Since Xu Ba had been willing to surrender, Jiang Yun had been secretly monitoring him, and indeed had not found any signs of him contacting others.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Yun continued to ask, "Those two people you killed, are they really dead?"

"Is it possible that they secretly contacted the Mysterious Lord?"

Xu Ba frowned and said, "I don't know if they could have contacted the Mysterious Lord, but I have already reduced them to ashes, so it is really unlikely that they are still alive."

Jiang Yun said faintly, "Then what about the things on their bodies?"

Xu Ba shook his head again and said, "I did take the things on their bodies, but I also carefully checked them, and there was nothing wrong with them."

Jiang Yun asked, "Are the things on you?"

Xu Ba reached out and threw a bone bag the size of a palm in front of Jiang Yun.

Jiang Yun released his divine sense and carefully checked the things inside the bone bag.

Xu Ba continued to say, "Originally, I wanted to leave these things to my clansmen, but I was worried about leaving clues and being discovered, so I carried them with me."

Jiang Yun also finished checking, and there was indeed nothing abnormal about the things in the bone bag.

He withdrew his divine sense, returned the bone bag to Xu Ba, and did not ask any more questions, but instead fell into deep thought himself.

"Qi Lingzi knows my whereabouts in the You'e Domain, and it is possible that he told the Mysterious Lord."

"Since Xu Ba did not leak my whereabouts in the Xuan Kong Shackles Abyss, then either his clansmen, or the two cultivators he killed, like Song Mo, were discovered by the Mysterious Lord when they were killed."

"And my whereabouts in the Kun Xuan Domain... only Xiao Hua knows!"

Jiang Yun's eyes gradually turned cold.

Taking everything into consideration, Jiang Yun believed that it was absolutely impossible for the Mysterious Lord to monitor him at all times.

All the information about his whereabouts after coming to the Old Domain should have been told to him by Xiao Hua.

The Mysterious Lord mainly cultivates the power of Kun Xuan.

Xiao Hua has also seized one-tenth of Kun Xuan.

The relationship between the two is extremely mysterious!

Even the message sent out by the Empty Space Domain should have only been told to Xiao Hua in the Kun Xuan Domain, which is considered to be bordering it.

Then, Xiao Hua notified the Mysterious Lord.

Finally, the Mysterious Lord announced it to the Land of the Fallen, telling the other cultivators to come to the Empty Space Domain to chase him down!

"Also, I have always been unable to understand why that Mysterious Lord is so targeting me."

"Now it seems that the Mysterious Lord is just a puppet."

"The person behind the scenes who is really targeting me should be Xiao Hua."

"The reason is that I didn't give her Second Senior Sister!"

"In this way, everything can be explained!"

Jiang Yun did not comment on whether Xiao Hua's behavior of seizing Kun Xuan was right or wrong.

But the result was probably not what the Lord of the Nine Cauldrons had hoped for.

Although Xiao Hua seized one-tenth of Kun Xuan, it is very likely that in the process, she also truly became the Great Fiend Kun Xuan!

Three fruits that Xiao Hua had given him appeared in Jiang Yun's hand.

Jiang Yun had checked these three fruits several times.

Although he had not found anything wrong, if Xiao Hua was really plotting against him, then these three fruits must have a problem.

Jiang Yun clenched his hand forcefully, but he was unable to crush these three fruits.

But when he wanted to discard these three fruits, he suddenly stopped again.

"Is it possible that these three fruits will be helpful to the Empty Space Domain?"

The emergence of this idea made Jiang Yun's heart shudder!

If this was really the case, then Xiao Hua's scheming was really too terrifying.

"Boom!"

Just then, a sudden loud noise interrupted Jiang Yun's thoughts.

Jiang Yun put away the three fruits, and his divine sense had already spread out in the direction from which the sound came.

But soon, he realized something was wrong.

This loud noise was not just one sound, but two.

Moreover, they came from two different directions.

Xu Ba's voice rang out beside Jiang Yun, "My Lord, someone is coming!"

At the same time, in the Land of the Fallen, a vortex of about ten thousand zhang in radius appeared in the middle of the nine surrounding lands.

Beneath the vortex, there were nine layers of light clusters of the same area but different colors, overlapping each other!

Inside the You'e Domain, Lei Ji's voice trembled and said, "Jiang Yun, hurry, hurry, I sensed it!"
