son to pass through. Looking down the road, it seemed to have no end, winding endlessly onward. On either side of the path, rolling fog persisted throughout.Looking at this path that had suddenly appe...Although Ginger Cloud had already anticipated it beforehand, Emperor Xing's summons this time was because he suspected Ginger Cloud's identity as Fan Xiao and wanted to probe him.

But I truly didn't expect Emperor Xing to be so straightforward and decisive.

After seeing himself, he only chatted casually like an old friend for a few sentences, and then immediately attacked himself, using his divine sense to search him!

And the strength of Emperor Xing's divine awareness was like a boundless ocean, easily engulfing Jiang Yun's body completely, leaving him with no resistance whatsoever.

Of course, even if he had the strength to resist, in this situation, Jiang Yun would absolutely not dare to defy.

At this moment, Jiang Yun was rapidly turning his thoughts, pondering a countermeasure.

The Emperor was searching his own body, and Jiang Yun wasn't too panicked yet.

After all, even his own bloodline has successfully transformed into the Fan family's bloodline. Emperor Xing should be unable to find out anything.

But once the Emperor of Punishment finishes searching his body, he will inevitably search his soul next.

Although I have integrated the experiences of Fan Xiao in this life into my own soul, I really can't fabricate a story about the surge in his cultivation.

Besides, one's own true memories are impossible to conceal. If the Emperor of Punishment were to find out, then oneself would be utterly finished.

Originally, the presence of golden blood droplets within one's soul offered protection to oneself.

And now, the golden blood droplets remain only a tenth of their former amount. I'm afraid that even if they still possess protective power, it would be insufficient to withstand the Emperor of Punishment's divine sense.

Standing behind Emperor Xing, Leng Yichen saw Emperor Xing's movements and a hint of surprise flashed across his face.

But soon, he regained his composure, even looking away and no longer glancing at Jiang Yun.

Even though he wanted to help Jiang Yun, he was powerless.

He naturally already knew the Emperor's purpose and even secretly notified Mo Ze to give Jiang Yun a reminder.

And this is the ultimate he could achieve.

At this moment, he wouldn't dare to even speak up for Jiang Yun, let alone lend a hand. Otherwise, Emperor Xing would surely be displeased!

Therefore, he could only keep silent, hoping that Jiangyun would have a way to cope with it.

The Emperor's divine sense was extremely fast, instantly circling within Jiang Yun's body. It found nothing unusual and then turned towards Jiang Yun's soul, charging forward.

"Wow!"

As the Emperor of Punishment's divine consciousness entered, Jiang Yun's soul trembled slightly.

Meanwhile, within Gingercloud's body, the five peaks of Dahuang manifested. Even the stone that Gu Sanseng had given her and the No-Flame Puppet Lamp had quietly appeared.

Since today was a great tribulation for himself, Ginger Cloud naturally wouldn't sit idly by and wait for death.

As long as the Emperor of Punishment sees his memories beyond Fan Xiao, he will without hesitation release all these strongest life-saving artifacts.

Perhaps one cannot stop the Emperor of Criminals, but one must still try their best and see if they can gain a sliver of hope for themselves.

With a soul-wrenching pain tearing through him, Jiang Yun knew that Emperor Xing's divine consciousness was already searching his memories.

It's a pity that Ginger Cloud didn't know what Emperor Xing could see in her soul.

So, he could only grit his teeth and endure the pain, while staring intently at Emperor Xing's face with his eyes.

As long as there is even the slightest change in the Emperor of Punishment's expression, I will immediately act.

Just then, Jiang Yun suddenly felt that a new power quietly emerged in his soul.

This force is both familiar and strange to me.

Familiarity stems from past exposure, while unfamiliarity arises from the inability to discern the origin of this power.

But its appearance was silent and unnoticed. Not only did it fail to attract the attention of Emperor Xing, but it also instantly quelled the soul-wrenching pain that had been tearing at him.

In short, this power quietly protected its own soul.

What kind of power is this

"How could I never have known, where did it come from Could it be... my golden blood"

Jiang Yun's heart rose with a great deal of doubt, but at this moment, there was no time to ponder deeply. He just hoped that Emperor Xing would not notice anything in his soul.

After about five breaths, Jiang Yun clearly felt the Emperor Xing's divine sense withdraw from his soul. His grip on Jiang Yun's palm also loosened.

Ginger Cloud's face was a little pale, he reached out to cover his head, and his body was shaking.

This is not an act, but a normal reaction after being forcefully subjected to a soul search.

At this time, the Emperor Xing looked up and down at Jiang Yun, and said lightly: "Have you had another encounter with a powerful person"

Ginger Cloud put down her hand and hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying, "Yes!"

The Exiled Emperor also nodded, "I presume your sudden surge in cultivation is related to that powerful expert you encountered."

And besides, the other party also left a protective force in your soul, preventing you from being searched.

"This protective power is even beyond my divine sense, which makes me quite curious about the other party's identity!"

The Emperor's words finally eased half of Jiang Yun's worry, and he smiled bitterly: "To be honest, Your Excellency, I did meet a powerful person. It was that person who gave me a great opportunity."

"But I truly don't know his background, nor do I know how he ended up leaving a protective force within my soul. Therefore, please forgive me, sir."

"If adults want to see my memories, then I can show them my memories."

As he spoke, Jiang Yun had already displayed the memories belonging to Fan Xiao on his own.

But the Emperor of Punishment didn't even look, only staring at Jiang Yun.

Not until some time later did he retract his gaze, a smile gracing his face as he said, "Put away your memories. I don't need to see them!"

> "When cultivators practice, they will naturally encounter various opportunities and tribulations. Those are your destined karmic encounters."

"As for me, I can't see through your soul. That's just because my abilities aren't strong enough. I wouldn't blame you for something so trivial."

Jiang Yun hurriedly cupped his hands towards Emperor Xing and said, "Thank you for your understanding!"

The Emperor of Crime waved his hand and said, "Let's not talk about this."

"By the way, I heard you have a battle formation that's incredibly powerful. It's said that with three thousand men, you can defeat ten thousand."

Even Mount Meng Yue wouldn't be your match!

"That technique, could it also have been taught to you by that powerful expert"

Jiang Yun smiled wryly and said, "Sir has sharp eyes. That formation was indeed taught to me by that old man."

"However, that formation was actually quite ordinary and not particularly powerful. It was simply Master Meng intentionally letting his subordinates win."

The Emperor of Crime laughed and said, "Whenever you have time, give me a practice run too."

Ginger Cloud nodded again and said, "If Master wants to see it, it can be done at any time!"

"Or, I could call my brothers over now to give the honorable one a demonstration."

"Good!" The Emperor of Punishment nodded. "Go ahead, I'll be right here waiting for you. Enjoy the show!"

The Emperor's reply left both Jiang Yun and Leng Yichen greatly surprised.

Everyone could tell that this was just ginger cloud's polite excuse, but unexpectedly the Emperor Xing really wanted to see it now.

Jiang Yun naturally didn't dare to disobey the order, so he could only agree with a sound. He bowed to Xing Di and Leng Yi Chen in salute, then turned and left, preparing to summon all his brothers under his command.

And Emperor Xing watched as Jiang Yun turned away, the smile on his face suddenly vanished, and he raised his hand again, aiming a palm strike towards Jiang Yun!

The moment this palm strike appeared, the entire world roared with a deafening sound. Space instantly twisted and warped, as if about to explode, causing Leng Yichen who stood behind Emperor Xing, to abruptly change his expression.

Because he could clearly feel it, the emperor's palm strike contained the terrifying power of an emperor, aimed at attacking Jiang Yun.

Even Ginger Cloud, let alone myself, would surely die under the power of this palm strike.

That is to say, Emperor Xing's palm strike was clearly intended to kill Jiang Yun!e!""Bull**** conspiracy!"The Elder Patriarch of the Jin Clan let out a cold snort, extending his hand and pointing. Numerous razor-sharp sword qi surged forth, directly striking Jiang Yun's body and p...
