Chapter 3973: Retreat Without a Fight

er. So he could only grit his teeth and say, "You speak!""Our clan's military competition is mainly for the purpose of training our people and boosting morale. Now that it's a critical time, we have a...Upon hearing the man's voice, Ji Kongfan stopped and turned to face the man in white. He remained expressionless, not uttering a word.

The man in white also walked slowly to the front of Ji Kongfan and stood still. After looking at Ji Kongfan up and down, he said, "What are you doing here"

Ji Kongfan said faintly, "Just strolling around!"

"Strolling"

This answer caused the man in white to be slightly taken aback.

Strolling around in this area covered with blood mist

However, a cold smile soon appeared on the man's face: "You should want to enter the third floor of the ruins, right"

Ji Kongfan shook his head and said, "If you have no other questions, then I'll be going!"

"Wait!"

The man spoke again, stopping the departing Ji Kongfan: "What is your name, and which clan do you belong to"

Ji Kongfan replied without hesitation: "Ji Kongfan, from the Annihilation Clan, have you heard of it"

The Extinction Clan

The man in white frowned and thought to himself, "I've never heard of a clan called the Annihilation Clan. It must be a small, unknown clan."

Although this person should not know who I am, and is certainly not deliberately waiting for me here, since they have seen me appear, just in case, it's best to kill them and silence them!

Thinking of this, the man in white let out a cold smile and stopped talking. Suddenly, he raised his hand and grabbed towards Ji Kongfan! Faced with the other party's sudden move, Ji Kongfan's face still had no expression, just staring deeply at the other party.

But before the man's palm could touch Ji Kongfan, his face changed drastically. A chill spread through his body, quickly condensing into an ice shield behind him.

With a deafening “BOOM”, the ice shield shattered into pieces.

And the man in white didn't even bother to attack Ji Kongfan anymore. He hurried to take a step to the side, pulling away from the distance between him and Ji Kongfan.

Then, he finally turned towards the direction where the sound came from.

Just as he had stood there moments before, another Ji Kongfan appeared, slowly retracting his fist.

Two Ji Kongfan turned their heads simultaneously to look at the man in white. One of them spoke, "I didn't want to get involved originally, but since you're courting death yourself, I won't mind fulfilling your wish!"

As soon as his words fell, the two Ji Kongfan merged into one person. They raised their hands, and a disc-sized roulette wheel appeared in mid-air, spinning towards the man.

Looking at the roulette wheel, the man's face suddenly changed.

Because he distinctly felt that under the roulette's spin, the passage of time here was being affected.

"Damn it, a mere cultivator from the Reincarnation Realm actually controls the power of time! What exactly is this Annihilation Race!"

As this thought arose, the man in white reacted instantly. His figure flickered, and instead of facing Ji Kongfan's roulette wheel, he charged towards the city wall's prohibition. The man in white was very clear that he wasn't his true self, but only an ice puppet with the power of a Heavenly Venerable.

Besides, he had just been injured by the power that was forbidden to him, so he was probably no match for Ji Kongfan, so he immediately chose to flee.

Seeing that the opponent had fled without a fight, Ji Kongfan was also slightly taken aback. For a moment, he forgot to stop.

The other party was aggressive and came from the sixth layer of the ruins, which only imperial-level powerhouses could enter.

Emperor Grade, which is equivalent to a Great Celestial Venerable.

Such a person, facing a cultivator from the same reincarnation realm as him, would actually choose to flee rather than fight. This was truly beyond Ji Kongfan's expectations.

However, seeing that the other party had entered the city wall's restrictions, Ji Kongfan merely smiled faintly and said, "The people I want to kill haven't escaped yet!"

Well then, I might as well go by and see if I can run into Jiang Yun!

As soon as the voice fell, Ji Kongfan reached out and retracted the roulette wheel, closely following behind the man in white. He took a step forward and entered the restricted area of the city wall just like him.

Meanwhile, at the sixth level of the ruins, deep within the frozen wasteland that stretched for thousands of miles, Gu Bingyan suddenly opened his eyes, a look of hesitation on his face. He murmured to himself, "This is starting to get troublesome. I wonder if the Ice Puppet can break through the restrictions and reach the third level"

Of course, the man in white that Ji Kongfan encountered was a Bing Kui specially created by Gu Bingyan to capture Jiang Yun.

Although the ice puppet's strength was inferior to its true form, in Gu Bingyan's view, capturing a mere law realm cultivator was child's play.

To his surprise, the restriction power between the fourth and third layers of the ruins suddenly intensified. He encountered another formidable opponent with immeasurable strength and mastery over time - Ji Kongfan. This left him worried whether Bing Kui could successfully complete the mission.

After all, this was the first mission entrusted to him in this forbidden land, and it was of great importance to him.

If it cannot be completed, then it could potentially leave a bad impression on the restricted area.

"Must I personally go to the third floor and fetch someone"

After a moment's thought, Gu Bingyan still shook his head and said: "Let's wait a little longer!"

"If that doesn't work, then let Bing Kui expend some of his cultivation. As long as he can successfully pass through the restrictions and reach the third floor, even if his strength drops a bit, grabbing that Gu Yun or Xuan Yuan Yun should still be doable!"

"Anyway, the restricted area didn't give a specific deadline."

"If something really happens to Bing Ku, I'll go there myself!"

It is unprecedented for a monarch-level powerhouse to personally go to the third level of the ruins to apprehend someone within the Four Realms Hidden.

And.

Gu Bingyan was also worried that if she really did this, it would very likely attract the attention of some people.

Even though an Emperor wouldn't be able to completely comprehend the movements within the battlefield ruins, it doesn't mean there aren't powerful individuals secretly lurking within.

However, Gu Bingyan didn't know that the biggest problem he needed to consider now wasn't whether his ice puppet could catch Jiangyun, but whether he could escape Ji Kongfan's pursuit! In the spatial rift, Jiangyun's gaze was still fixed on a certain direction, his brows furrowed tightly. A faint sound of someone calling his name seemed to echo beside him.

Jiang Yún pondered, "What sound is that"

"Is it only me who can hear it, or can everyone who enters here hear it"

After standing still for a moment, Jiang Yun did not walk towards the direction where the voice was calling from, but continued walking forward.

Now, the most important thing for him is to find Xing Yi and kill him as soon as possible.

However, as the distance grew deeper, the sound Ginger Cloud heard in her ears became increasingly intense.

It felt like the sound was getting closer and closer, so close that it affected my mind, urging me to go towards where the sound was coming from.

"This voice, it sounds kind of like some sort of temptation."

If it were a trick, then following the sound would certainly not lead to anything good.

Jiang Yun took a deep breath, steadied his mind, and still ignored the voice. Instead, he quickened his pace and continued walking forward.

When nearly half an hour had passed, Jiang Yun once again stopped his steps. He looked at the front which was still shrouded in blood mist, but the area had suddenly become much larger. He sighed.

This spatial rift was enormous, and to this day, he hadn't found any trace of Xing Yi. It seemed that Xing Yi hadn't taken a straight path.

Then, to find him, the difficulty level increases considerably.

But more importantly, that summoning-like voice was still constantly ringing in Jiang Yun's ears, like a death knell, making Jiang Yun feel a bit out of control of the impulse in his heart.

After glancing around, Jiang Yun muttered to himself, "It seems like I can't find Xing Yi for now. Why not go in the direction the sound is coming from and see what it is"

Perhaps Xing Yi also heard the voice and went there!

After making up his mind, Jiang Yun also gave up on continuing to search for Xing Yi. Instead, he followed the direction from which the voice came and strode away.

Although the voice sounded as if it were very close to Jiang Yun, after walking for a full day within this blood mist, he only faintly saw a square shadow in the blood mist ahead.

"This is..." Jiang Yun looked again, murmuring, "A tombstone"ger Cloud suddenly called out to him, "Wait!""Sir, what can I do for you"Jiang Yun reached out and took a small piece of gold, placing it on the table. "I want to ask you some things," he said.The cel...
