Chapter 371
Chapter 371: Mang Mountains’ Strongest
"Why does that silver line look exactly like a scar on my body?"
This is the true reason for Jiang Yun’s silence!
When he saw the short silver line on Mirage, he was stunned as if struck by lightning.
The silver line on Mirage looked exactly like a scar on his right shoulder, like a rune, but not quite.
In the past, Jiang Yun might have thought it was just a coincidence.
But after realizing that the scars on his body were actually seals left by his grandfather –
– he knew it was not a coincidence.
Yet, he couldn’t understand why a scar left by his grandfather as part of a seal would match the line on Mirage.
"Jiang Yun, are you sure you’re okay?"
Finally, Dao Tianyou’s voice echoed in Jiang Yun’s ears again, making Jiang Yun temporarily put aside all his thoughts and just nod silently.
"Alright!"
Dao Tianyou’s eyes slowly turned towards the one hundred disciples of the Seeking-Tao Sect in front of him, and he spoke in a deep voice, "Perhaps you have grudges against each other in ordinary days, but now, I hope you remember that you are all disciples of my Seeking-Tao Sect!"
"I hope you can temporarily set aside all grudges and avoid harming each other!"
"Because in Mirage, the only ones you can trust are your fellow disciples by your side!"
Everyone understood that these words were directed at Jiang Yun and Fang Yuxuan.
However, these two men remained expressionless and it was unclear if they absorbed the message.
Dao Tianyou continued, "After entering Mirage, you may be together or separate. If you are together, it’s best to look out for each other!"
"Even though we are separated, don’t worry. You are all the most outstanding disciples of my Seeking-Tao Sect. Believe in your strength, you can handle any difficulties!"
"Fate is important, but more than fate, I care about your safety!"
"So, whether or not you can achieve fate, I hope that when a hundred of you go in, a hundred will come back!"
At this moment, Dao Tianyou’s face no longer had its usual playful look, but was very serious. Even his gaze showed a hint of concern as he watched everyone!
"Yes!"
This warmed the hearts of all Seeking-Tao Sect disciples, one by one nodding in agreement.
"Alright, now, go in and return safely!"
As Dao Tianyou finished speaking, Fang Yuxuan dashed ahead and was the first to enter the gap, followed by all the disciples behind him.
Jiang Yun walked at the back, and as he passed by Dao Tianyou, he finally opened his eyes. Although his eyes had some blood streaks, he seemed fine.
Jiang Yun bowed to Dao Tianyou, then walked into the gap as well.
After Jiang Yun’s figure vanished, Mirage suddenly trembled again.
Amidst this tremor, not only did the nine colorful paths dim gradually, but even Mirage itself became blurry.
Leaders of each sect knew well that Mirage was about to disappear and when it reappeared, it would be ten years later.
During those ten years, the thousand cultivators who entered might appear anywhere in the entire Mountain-Sea World at any time.
Of course, the condition was that they must still be alive!
At this moment, the leaders of various factions, after exchanging glances with each other, even those who were familiar with each other remained silent and left directly.
Because their apprentices in Mirage will become mortal enemies!
After Dao Tianyou returned to the Seeking-Tao Sect, he went straight to Hidden Peak and looked at Gu Bulao with a serious expression on his face. He sighed and said, "I really hope they all come back alive!"
Gu Bulao said softly, "I only know that Jiang Yun will definitely come back alive!"
Mentioning Jiang Yun, Dao Tianyou couldn’t help but smile bitterly and said, "This kid Jiang Yun is too bold. He actually tried to forcibly see through that ripple just now, and ended up hurting his eyes. Luckily, it’s not serious."
"Did he see it?"
"He probably didn’t. What kind of existence Mirage is, no one even in the Main Sect knows. How could Jiang Yun see through it."
Gu Bulao smiled slightly, stood up and said, "I’m going to leave for a while!"
"Where to?"
"I’m going to the One Hundred Thousand Mang Mountains and the No-Returning Road!"
Dao Tianyou understood immediately, "It was Jiang Yun who asked you to go, right! This guy really cares about his family! Since you’re going, I won’t go. Bring back the people from Jiang village to Seeking-Tao Sect!"
"Okay!"
With Gu Bulao’s voice faded, he had already vanished without a trace.
Dao Tianyou sat cross-legged on the top of Hidden Peak, looking up at the sky where Mirage had completely disappeared, he sighed heavily again.
"Whether they can bring back enough luck this time or not, my time is running out!"
At the same time Gu Bulao left Hidden Peak, Dongfang Bo also left Seeking-Tao Sect and headed to Beast Forest to find Brother Hei.
。。。
Above the sky of One Hundred Thousand Mang Mountains, Gu Bulao’s figure stepped out directly from the void, sat cross-legged, released his divine sense, instantly covering One Hundred Thousand Mang Mountains, searching for the exact location of Jiang village.
However, just a moment later, he suddenly opened his eyes, a hint of a sneer appeared on his face, "Interesting, show yourself!"
"Seen senior!"
A middle-aged man with a gentle appearance appeared in front of Gu Bulao, wearing a green robe, with three long beards under his chin. He clasped his hands together and bowed respectfully to Gu Bulao.
Gu Bulao said coldly, "Hmph! What is your name?"
The middle-aged man calmly replied, "I am Liu Tianren of the Liu clan! I do not know why the senior has come, I was offensive just now, I hope the senior can forgive me."
If Jiang Yun were here at this moment, he would know that the middle-aged man in front of him, who had stopped the harassment of the Wind clan for six years in the One Hundred Thousand Mang Mountains under his grandfather’s name, was the strongest, Liu Tianren.
Gu Bulao naturally did not know these things and continued with a straight face, "Although you dared to challenge me with divine thought, considering your decent attitude, I will not hold it against you."
"Liu Tianren, let me ask you, is there a Jiang village among the One Hundred Thousand Mang Mountains?"
Liu Tianren nodded and said, "There used to be a Jiang village, but it disappeared about three years ago!"
"Three years ago!"
Gu Bulao’s eyes suddenly flashed cold light, because he remembered that more than three years ago, it was when Jiang Yun first arrived at Seeking-Tao Sect.
"Gone, what does that mean? Were they wiped out by someone?"
Liu Tianren shook his head and said, "I don’t know, they’re just gone! Overnight, the entire Jiang village disappeared without a trace, as if they had never existed!"
Gu Bulao’s eyes squinted slightly, "So where was their village originally located, do you remember?"
"I remember!"
"Take me there!"
After a moment, when Gu Bulao looked down at the lush and extremely dense jungle below, he couldn’t help but give Liu Tianren a cold glance and asked, "Are you sure this is the place?"
"I’m sure!"
Gu Bulao also believed that Liu Tianren wouldn’t dare to deceive him, but indeed, there was no trace of a village ever having lived here as he had described.
After a moment of hesitation, Gu Bulao suddenly touched his forehead and saw it split open, revealing a vertical eye!
From this vertical eye, a misty light shone out, enveloping the whole jungle.
Gu Bulao’s expression changed abruptly and he exclaimed, "Taoist spell!"
