Chapter 423: Strange Happenings Everywhere

Jiang Yun suddenly realized that he had only been in this world for a few hours, feeling like he had turned back into the ignorant boy from Mang Mountains.

From Mirage’s approval, to the absence of demons in this realm, to the formation containing the ancient "Dao" character, The Tao Without Words, followed by a super beast, offerings, and now an additional ancient demon cultivator!

All of this was beyond his understanding, things he had never heard of before!

Although he knew that Bai Ze was referring to the cultivator he had killed, he also sensed a familiar aura from the Samsara Sect’s Mo Shan.

But a demon cultivator is just a demon cultivator, why add the word "ancient"!

At this moment, he didn’t have time to ask Bai Ze, he was preparing to continue killing Mu Congsheng and his two followers.

Originally, Jiang Yun did not want to start a killing spree as soon as he arrived in this world, but the old man dared to kill the Golden-Armored Demon Ape, so he had to take action.

Since he had already killed the offering from Mu Village, he could not let Mu Congsheng and his two companions go free.

So he forcibly merged with three Dao bodies and summoned the Cold Dark-winged Bat, aiming for a quick battle.

Mu Congsheng and the two burly men were stunned, their faces showing disbelief as they stared blankly at the old man’s body.

Obviously, they couldn’t believe that the powerful old man could be easily killed by Jiang Yun with just one strike.

Although they sensed Jiang Yun’s intent to kill, they didn’t even have the courage to escape, only able to watch as Jiang Yun raised his hand.

Just then, Xiao Wangjie suddenly appeared next to Jiang Yun and reached out to grab Jiang Yun’s arm, saying, "Wait, brother!"

He was also deeply impressed by Jiang Yun’s strength, but seeing Jiang Yun about to kill Mu Congsheng, he had to step forward.

Jiang Yun turned to look at Xiao Wangjie and calmly said, "You want me to let them go? Don’t forget, they poisoned your son!"

These words sparked a hint of hatred in Xiao Wangjie’s eyes, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "The poisoning is just speculation, there’s no concrete evidence. Please spare their lives, brother!"

Watching Xiao Wangjie, Jiang Yun saw a reflection of himself when he faced Feng Wuji’s challenge in the past.

Although he had the ability to kill Feng Wuji back then, he ultimately held back due to various concerns, making Feng Wuji a constant burden in his heart until today.

Xiao Wangjie now must have various concerns that stopped him from killing the people from Mu village, even enduring the hatred of his son being poisoned.

After a moment of hesitation, Jiang Yun decided to be direct and said, "I will let them go today, but they won’t be grateful to us. Perhaps tomorrow, they will return with more people!"

Xiao Wangjie nodded heavily and said, "I understand!"

"Okay!"

Since the conversation had reached this point, Xiao Wangjie insisted, and therefore Jiang Yun naturally decided not to interfere anymore.

With a big wave of his hand, he completely destroyed several black spears that were holding the four beasts captive, then coldly looked at Mu Congsheng and the other two, saying, "You, leave now!"

The two strong men shivered and quickly jumped back onto their eagle’s back, not wanting to face Jiang Yun again even for a moment.

After gazing deeply at Jiang Yun, Mu Congsheng turned his gaze to Xiao Wangjie, nodded with a cold smile, and then silently patted his eagle, without saying a word.

The eagle instantly turned into a black light, shooting straight towards the sky and disappearing without a trace in an instant.

It wasn’t until then that Xiao Wangjie let out a sigh of relief, bowed to Jiang Yun, and said, "Senior, please come back to the village with me for a chat!"

At that moment, he no longer dared to interact with Jiang Yun as equals.

Jiang Yun nodded and ignored the titles, understanding that the rule of respecting the strong was universal in any world.

Jiang Yun put away the storage magic tool from the old man’s body, then burned his body with fire. After that, he followed Xiao Wangjie and put away four demon beasts with a group of black wolves, passing through the array and entering the valley again.

As soon as he entered the valley, Jiang Yun’s eyes lit up.

In the depths of the valley, there were dozens of small wooden huts scattered around. Although a bit simple, the environment in the valley was very beautiful.

Lush trees surrounded the area, along with a sizable lake, making it feel like a hidden paradise.

However, there was no sign of anyone around.

With a quick scan of his senses, Jiang Yun realized that everyone was hiding inside the wooden huts. It seemed that the middle-aged woman who had returned earlier had asked them to hide.

Yet, in the next moment, Jiang Yun frowned slightly as he noticed that most of the villagers hiding in the houses actually had cultivation in the Blessed Land Realm.

While Jiang Yun was unfamiliar with the cultivation levels in this world, in the Mountain-Sea World, if more than half of the people in a village of over a hundred were in the Blessed Land Realm, then the overall strength of the village would be quite high.

Apart from the villagers, Jiang Yun’s senses also discovered a small path leading to the back of the mountain in the depths of the valley, where there was a more spacious area.

However, living inside were not humans, but beasts!

At least hundreds of large fierce beasts were being kept in separate enclosures, and some of these beasts, Jiang Yun didn’t even recognize.

This kind of situation also existed within the Seeking-Tao Sect. In the past, Lu Xiaoyu was responsible for feeding the fierce beasts.

It was quite puzzling that in this village with only a hundred people, so many fierce beasts were being kept.

Jiang Yun couldn’t help but frown. The more he saw, the greater his confusion grew.

Just as the dark spirit Su Yang had said, this world seemed to be full of oddities.

However, instead of asking, he continued to follow Xiao Wangjie and arrived at the center of the village under a large tree.

Xiao Wangjie pointed to a few stone benches under the tree and said, "Please have a seat, I will go and call the village chief and the villagers out. They are a bit afraid because we rarely have outsiders coming in."

After Xiao Wangjie left, Jiang Yun looked up at the large tree.

The trunk of this big tree is very thick, it would take at least five or six people holding hands to reach around it, which means it must have been growing for a long time.

This reminded Jiang Yun of what Bai Ze told him when he first came into this world.

Trees and plants that have been growing for over a thousand years may not necessarily be on the path to enlightenment, but they are believed to have some spiritual qualities.

Thinking about this, Jiang Yun reached out and gently touched the tree trunk!

However, just as his hand touched the tree trunk, the ancient voice from the black stone resounded once again.

"The Tao Without Words, one step can lead to the Dao!"

Although the words were the same, a cold light suddenly flashed in Jiang Yun’s eyes.

"Speaking when entering the formation, this big tree also speaks when touched. Could it be that both are just one step away from achieving the Great Dao?"

"Or is my guess wrong? Could it be that the object the black stone mentioned is not the formation or the tree, but something else entirely!"

"And, these items, the big tree, and the formation are all connected!"

Jiang Yun suddenly looked down and saw the ground beneath him!
