Chapter 425: Ancient Grand Desolate World

Clearly, Bai Ze had been silent for a long time, thinking about the world, and now it seemed like it had found an answer.

Jiang Yun also wanted to understand the world very much, but there were Xiao family father and son in front of him, so he quickly said, "Wait a moment."

Jiang Yun knew very well why Xiao Yun said those words, just wanting to invite him to be the master of Xiao Village and help them train animals.

As for the Beast Arena, which was mentioned by Mu Congsheng before, it wasn’t hard to guess that it was where different groups competed with the animals they raised.

Since Jiang Yun had nowhere else to go and the key to gaining Mirage’s approval was to help various animals, staying in Xiao Village as a caretaker to help them train animals was a win-win situation.

Therefore, without waiting for Xiao Yun to finish speaking, Jiang Yun nodded and said, "No problem, I’ll stay in your village for now!"

"Also, Chief of Xiao Village, I’m a bit tired. Is there a quiet place where I could rest for a little while?"

Jiang Yun’s enthusiastic agreement left the Xiao family father and son stunned, not knowing how to react.

It is important to note that inviting an outsider to be a caretaker would require some form of payment.

In their minds, since Jiang Yun could easily defeat Master Liu from Mu village, they thought they would have to pay him more to convince him to stay.

But before they could even mention the payment, Jiang Yun agreed unexpectedly.

"Um…"

Xiao Yun was a bit at a loss for words, but Xiao Wangjie quickly nodded and said, "We were too caught up in the excitement and forgot that you must be tired from your long journey. There is a place for you to rest, please follow me."

Jiang Yun immediately stood up to say goodbye and followed Xiao Wangjie to a small house near the back mountain.

The furnishings inside were simple but clean.

"Sir, please bear with staying here temporarily. Once we tidy up the houses in the back mountain, we will find a better place for you."

"Okay!"

Jiang Yun nodded and went to sit cross-legged on the bed inside the house.

"If you have any orders, just say it!"

Xiao Wangjie politely closed the door, stepped back, and brought a young man to guard the door, ready to serve Jiang Yun at any time.

After finishing all this, Xiao Wangjie returned to the big tree and looked at his father.

Xiao Yun’s face lost its smile, replaced by a serious expression as he said, "Having four super beasts, being skilled in alchemy, strong in power, decisive in killing, and so young, this person is probably a member of a Daoist clan!"

"Daoist clan!"

Hearing those two words, Xiao Wangjie’s expression changed suddenly, "It can’t be, The Barbaric Southern Land only has the Xia family!"

"And the people of the Xia family take pride in their own family, even if they go out to gain experience, they wouldn’t change their names!"

Xiao Yun looked at his son and said, "While The Barbaric Southern Land only has the Xia family as the Daoist clan, what about the Daoist clans in the other four major regions?"

"From the looks of him, he is indeed not from The Barbaric Southern Land but from another region."

Xiao Wangjie smiled sadly and said, "In other regions, it is said that the nearest Middle Land is millions of miles away from our Barbaric Southern Land. How could he possibly come here?"

Xiao Yun said seriously, "Our Xiao family, except for the first generation ancestor, has never left the Barbaric Southern Land for generations. Our knowledge is limited, like frogs at the bottom of a well. Just because we can’t do something doesn’t mean others can’t."

Feeling a bit indignant after his father’s scolding, Xiao Wangjie said, "I just can’t imagine how he crossed those millions of miles!"

Xiao Yun sternly said, "Don’t forget, our ancestor mentioned that our world may be inside a giant beast’s belly. Can you imagine that?"

"Do you think our ancestor was intentionally deceiving us?"

Seeing his father bring up the ancestor, Xiao Wangjie immediately fell silent, bowed his head, and closed his mouth.

Xiao Yun sighed, "Wangjie, no matter what, since this person is willing to stay with us, we must treat him with respect and fulfill any of his requests at any cost."

"I don’t have much time left. I was worried about the family’s safety after I’m gone, but his arrival might be an opportunity for our Xiao family."

Xiao Wangjie quickly looked up and said, "Dad, your illness hasn’t worsened in many years. I’m sure it’s nothing serious. In a few days, the Hundred Family Bazaar will open, and I’ll bring enough spiritual stones to get you a skilled doctor."

Xiao Yun shook his head and stayed silent. Xiao Wangjie waited for a moment before asking, "Father, what should we do about Mu village?"

Xiao Yun couldn’t help but glare harshly at his son when Mu village was mentioned. He said, "You shouldn’t have stopped Taoist Friend Jiang from killing Mu Congsheng!"

"If Mu Congsheng had been killed, even if Mu Wanchun suspects Xiao Village, without solid evidence he would hesitate. But now that you let Mu Congsheng escape, he will surely return with others!"

"There’s no other way now. We can only hope that the barrier can continue to hold them off for a while longer."

Xiao Yun looked towards the formation at the valley entrance. Unbeknownst to Jiang Yun, the natural formation was on the verge of collapsing.

"If we can hold on until we reach Beast Arena, maybe we can resolve this crisis."

As Xiao Yun finished speaking, father and son fell into silence together.

At that moment, after setting up the isolation formation, Jiang Yun was about to ask Bai Ze a question, but Su Yang’s voice cut in, "Master, I have a confession to make!"

"Confession? What’s the matter?"

"The old servant only has a trace of lingering spirit left. Thanks to the master’s shelter, he can continue to survive in this lamp."

"But in the past, the old servant spent a lot of energy to send the master away from that world. So now he needs to sleep for a while and cannot serve the master temporarily."

Su Yang’s voice was filled with sincerity, regret, helplessness, and gratitude.

If someone didn’t know, they would surely think he was truly a loyal servant by Jiang Yun’s side.

Although Jiang Yun knew Su Yang well, he was still a bit surprised to hear that he needed to sleep.

Jiang Yun originally thought that with Su Yang becoming an item spirit, he gained a powerful ally in the Sky Blessed Realm. However, he didn’t expect Su Yang to need to sleep.

But it was unavoidable. Maintaining consciousness in the original world was also extremely draining.

"You just need to sleep, don’t worry about me!"

"Thank you for understanding, master. Rest assured, when the old servant wakes up, he will serve you wholeheartedly, until the end, for the master…"

"Go to sleep quickly!"

After watching Su Yang fall into a deep sleep with his own eyes, Jiang Yun let out a sigh of relief and immediately couldn’t wait to ask Bai Ze, "Bai Ze, what’s going on in this world?"

Bai Ze responded by asking, "Can that evil spirit be trusted?"

Su Yang was unaware of Bai Ze’s existence, but Bai Ze knew that Su Yang had entered the Flameless Puppet Lantern.

Moreover, Bai Ze harbored strong hostile intentions towards Su Yang.

After all, Su Yang, like him, was also a powerful figure in the Sky Blessed Realm.

"I don’t know either, but at least for now, he doesn’t seem to hold any grudge against me. Anyway, he can’t leave the lantern without my permission. Forget about him, tell me quickly."

Bai Ze took a deep breath, as if trying to suppress his excited emotions.

Despite that, his voice still trembled slightly, "If my guess is correct, this world should be the Ancient Grand Desolate World!"
