Chapter 4138: A Palm Print

ht. His whole body was slightly arched, and his breath was completely gone, like a beast poised to strike.Although Ginger Cloud spent three days constantly searching for Lu Xiaoyu's whereabouts, she a...After who knows how long, Jiang Yun suddenly opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was a sky the size of a copper coin, gray and dull.

The next moment, his memory quickly returned, and he hurriedly scrambled to his feet.

At once, he felt as if countless needles were piercing his entire body, the pain unbearable.

However, he didn't have time to worry about his own condition. Instead, he turned his attention to the surroundings.

At first glance, Ginger Cloud was stunned!

He was lying in a massive, deep chasm, at least tens of thousands of feet from the ground.

Ginger Cloud remembered very clearly that even though he had led thirty-eight guards in a fierce fight with the man before falling unconscious, the damage hadn't been this severe. There hadn't been such a large pit either.

"Could it be that even after I fell unconscious, the old man still wasn't satisfied and continued to attack me"

"Besides, wasn't that old man trying to kill me"

"How am I still alive now"

"Could it be that he changed his mind at the last minute and let me go"

"Or, has he already turned me into his blood slave!"

With these doubts, Ginger Cloud's divine sense finally swept across his own body.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Yun couldn't help but be stunned once again.

Although his body was wounded, the blood that the old man had drained from him had all returned.

I searched my whole body, especially my eyes, but I found no signs that would make me a blood slave, nor any other power that didn't belong to me.

What on earth is going on

Jiang Yun raised his head to look at the sky above the deep pit, his figure soaring into the air. He had already rushed out of the pit and stood back on the ground.

Looking around, Jiang Yun couldn't help but frown.

Because he saw that upon this very land where he now stood, there had appeared several dark ravines.

But besides himself, he couldn't see any other shadows.

Gingercloud's figure soared once more, standing high above the clouds. Looking down upon all below.

"Hiss!"

Jiang Yun couldn't help but gasp.

Upon the earth, he saw a handprint!

A gigantic handprint, nearly covering tens of thousands of square meters.

The pit you just lay in, is actually the thumbprint's position within the palm!

Looking at this palm print, Jiang Yun stood there for a long time, momentarily losing his ability to think.

Although Ginger Cloud could also strike a palm with such power, it was not within the Four Borders Hiding Place!

The cultivation level of the Four Realms is far beyond that of the myriad heavenly realms, so naturally, the world here is also far more solid than that of the myriad heavenly realms.

Otherwise, if the Emperor got angry and was careless, wouldn't he be able to destroy the entire Four Realms

Needless to say, this is a place beyond the heavens, a prison built by the Emperor himself, used to imprison criminals and even the Emperor himself.

The solidity of each world in Heaven Beyond Heaven is absolutely far beyond that of any other world.

Therefore, Jiang Yun was very clear that even if he used the Nine-Nine Returning to One Art, he wouldn't be able to create such terrifying destructive power.

"Could it be the old man's doing"

This idea was quickly overturned by Jiang Yun.

When he came to his senses, he went inside the palm print and observed it carefully. He was astonished to find that in the deep pit at the position of the little finger, lay the old man.

Of course, he had now reverted to the appearance of a middle-aged man. Lying there, his bloodshot eyes still staring at the sky, he was dead!

Besides finding the man's body, in other pits, Jiang Yun also saw the thirty-eight guards.

They are scattered in various pits, though still unconscious, their breaths are even, indicating they should be out of danger.

And this also made Jiang Yun understand.

After I fell into a coma, other powerful beings arrived in this world and fought the old man...

"No, it shouldn't have been a great war. That strong person should have just struck with one palm and easily killed the old man."

As for me and Shen Zhaojun, we weren't directly hit by the powerful attacker. Some of us were swept away by the force of his palm strike, while others fell into the deep pit created by the impact when the earth collapsed.

Gingeryun raised her head to look at the sky again, then continued, "Besides, from when I fell unconscious until now, it hasn't been long, probably only a day."

"Since the Celestial Guard has been summoned by Heaven, they should be arriving soon."

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to find us.

After making various guesses, Jiang Yun temporarily ignored Shen Chaojun and the others, and walked towards the deep pit where the middle-aged man was.

Although Jiang Yun could no longer sense any trace of life on the other person, he remained incredibly cautious.

Not until he arrived above the opponent, after several probes, confirmed that the other party was truly dead, did Jiang Yun land beside him.

The man's soul had long since dissipated, and his body was empty of anything valuable or that could identify him.

Looking at the man's corpse, Jiang Yun fell into deep thought, pondering what had happened to him after he lost consciousness.

“I remember, in the last instant before I lost consciousness, I seemed to see a few more wrinkles on his face.”

"I just didn't have the energy back then, so I couldn't make it out clearly."

Now, the lines have disappeared.

"Could it be...a Ruin Pattern"

The idea suddenly lit up Jiang Yun's eyes. "Could it be that the powerful warrior from the Wilderness Clan, who helped me improve my Wilderness Pattern realm back then, secretly bestowed upon me a life-saving power"

Or perhaps, just as the elder had placed something upon the man, the strong warriors of the Waste Tribe had left something within me.

"While I was unconscious, the strong warriors of the tribe felt the danger in me, so they controlled my body and killed the old man and this man."

After all, the old man himself was afraid of the strong from the Wilderness Tribe. His strength was definitely inferior to the opponent, so he wasn't a match at all and was killed with a single palm strike.

"Suddenly, Jiang Yun raised his palm and said, 'If that's truly the case, then wouldn't this handprint belong to me' "

Shaking his head, Jiang Yun was truly unsure if his guess was correct. But it was the most plausible explanation.

But as he looked into the man's unblinking eyes, a sudden impulse surged through him, and his finger moved like a knife, slashing down towards the man's eyes in the air.

"Boom!"

Under the single strike, two drops of fresh blood flew out from within the man's pupils.

And looking at these two drops of blood, Ginger Cloud's face couldn't help but sink again.

He, he's also a blood slave!

Within these two drops of blood, countless threads are also interwoven to form a rune.

Obviously, this man, just like the fifty-six convicts Jiang Yun had killed before, was also a blood slave.

Originally, Ginger Cloud believed the man was the descendant of that old man, but now he realized his guess was wrong.

That is to say, the old man did not know what method he used to secretly send these two drops of blood into this man's body, turning him into a blood slave. He made this person believe that he was his descendant.

For this, the person plotted for countless years and finally got the chance to hunt during this siege. They were determined to rescue who they believed to be their ancestor.

Whether he succeeds or not, I'm afraid he will ultimately meet the same fate as other prisoners.

Ginger Cloud entered here, killing only fifty-seven criminals.

Shen Zhaozhi and the others killed several of them together, but the rest of the criminals never appeared. Therefore, Jiang Yun could easily guess that they should have all died in the passage.

No matter what the old man's identity is, his heart is extremely vicious.

But the question still remains, how could he possibly conceal his actions from the elders of the Hidden Leaf Village despite their secrecy

After much deliberation, Ginger Cloud reached out and severed the man's head, also collecting the two drops of blood.

Then he left the deep pit and reappeared in the sky, looking towards the direction of the passage.

Although this man is already dead, the old man should still be alive, right

"And that passage, does it still exist!"

Jian Yun cast one last glance at the thirty-eight guards lying unconscious at the bottom of the deep pit. After a brief hesitation, he suddenly took a step and walked towards the plain where the passage was located.pletely erase that divine sense.With the divine consciousness within Star Soul Armor erased, in a certain world amidst myriad realms, a beautiful woman seated atop a mountain peak, with a crescent moo...
