Chapter 498: There’s Really One

Seeing the figure rushing out from the ruins and grabbing Xia Zhongwu’s Dao Spirit tightly, everyone was left speechless in awe.

Even the elderly face of Xia Qi in the sky showed a hint of amazement.

However, amidst his amazement, there was also a trace of doubt.

Naturally, the figure was Jiang Yun!

Although he was now covered in scars, his clothes were tattered, and he had fallen back to the Blessed Land Realm in terms of cultivation, he was still in a much better state than Xia Zhongwu.

This was something that nobody could believe or understand.

Initially, everyone thought that Jiang Yun would give up attacking Xia Zhongwu to protect himself and instead confront Xia Qi.

However, Jiang Yun ignored all that and struck at Xia Zhongwu, taking the blow from Xia Qi himself.

Surprisingly, he not only survived but also seemed to be unharmed, which seemed impossible.

As for Xia Zhongwu, his fierce expression was now replaced by fear.

He stared blankly at Jiang Yun, muttering, "It can’t be, you can’t be alive!"

Jiang Yun’s eyes remained cold, and he clearly heard what Xia Zhongwu said in his desperate moment.

"I won’t die before I kill you!"

"What’s your name?"

At that moment, the aged face in the sky spoke again.

The tone in his words no longer carried anger, but instead had a sense of seriousness.

Xia Qi, a powerful figure in the Sky Blessed Realm, the strongest presence of the Xia family, and one of the top figures in this Ancient Grand Desolate World.

He had long withdrawn from the world, overseeing the Xia family, dedicating himself to cultivation in seclusion, seeking ways to advance his own realm, and seeking entry into the Seeking-tao Realm.

Today, if it weren’t for Jiang Yun’s four sky sacrifices triggering a large amount of Power of the Heavens, awakening him, he wouldn’t have been able to project a divine thought here.

That’s why he was able to rescue Xia Zhongwu just in time when he was about to be burned by the Rule of Fire.

Although he was not clear on what had happened between Xia Zhongwu and Jiang Yun, or even who Jiang Yun was, he didn’t need to know.

With his status and position, even a tiny bit of godly power appearing, the other strong individuals in this realm, even those equal in strength to him, would give him some respect.

However, he did not expect that Jiang Yun would continue to attack Xia Zhongwu in front of him, using the power of the earth, preventing his godly power from saving his grandson.

Unable to bear it, he had to turn and attack Jiang Yun in the hope of forcing him to save himself, intending to kill Jiang Yun with his strike.

Yet, Jiang Yun surprised him once again.

Not only did he endure his strike, but as his hand landed on Jiang Yun’s body, he distinctly felt another powerful aura of the Sky Blessed Realm.

This is the reason why Jiang Yun was fine now!

Upon realizing that Jiang Yun, who only had the cultivation of the Blessed Land Realm, also harbored the aura of the Sky Blessed Realm within him, Xia Qi’s attitude towards Jiang Yun naturally changed.

It wasn’t that he feared the Sky Blessed Realm, but because this was the Xia family.

If a battle between him and another Sky Blessed Realm strong individual erupted here, the ones to suffer would be the Xia family and its members.

Jiang Yun knew deep down inside that even though Su Yang shouted loudly as if he didn’t know, it was truly Jiang Yun who saved him.

Upon hearing Xia Qi’s question, Jiang Yun responded calmly without hesitation, "Jiang Yun!"

"Jiang?"

Hearing Jiang Yun’s name, Xia Qi visibly hesitated.

He was extremely knowledgeable about the power distribution in the world, but he had never heard of a prominent family with the surname Jiang.

After a brief moment of contemplation, Xia Qi spoke again, "Jiang Yun, regardless of any grievances between you and our Xia family, if you release my grandson today, all these grievances can be settled!"

Xia Qi’s words caused everyone present to gasp in astonishment.

Even the Tao Spiritual Realm cultivators from the Xia family were surprised.

Given Xia Qi’s status, the fact that he said such words to Jiang Yun, besides being concerned for Xia Zhongwu’s safety, also indicated some fear towards Jiang Yun.

Even to everyone’s surprise, Xia Qi’s attitude towards Jiang Yun at this moment didn’t seem like treating a younger or an enemy, but more like treating an equal companion!

However, Jiang Yun shook his head and said, "Actually, I am curious too. What kind of grudge is there between your Xia family and me that forces you, as a grandson, to be so determined to harm me?"

After speaking, Jiang Yun looked at Xia Zhongwu’s Dao Spirit and said, "You should be able to explain this to me!"

In front of everyone, facing Jiang Yun’s question, although Xia Zhongwu wanted to say something tough, he felt the increasing power from Jiang Yun’s hand, and could only grit his teeth and say, "It’s not a grudge between us, but I am entrusted to do a loyal deed for someone!"

Jiang Yun didn’t react much to Xia Zhongwu’s answer, but Mu Wanchun and his son in the distance had a sudden change in their expressions.

After witnessing Jiang Yun’s strength, they dared not to be enemies with him anymore, but they didn’t expect Xia Zhongwu to intentionally turn the focus on himself.

Nonetheless, Jiang Yun suddenly smiled and said, "I didn’t expect you to be so loyal, willing to help Mu village kill me at all costs, even risking your own life?"

Jiang Yun knew very well that Xia Zhongwu was trying to shift his attention by downplaying the seriousness of the situation.

Even if Mu village asked him to kill himself, he wouldn’t go to such lengths.

Xia Zhongwu said angrily, "You hurt my son!"

"That was after you tried to kill me!"

Jiang Yun’s smile suddenly disappeared from his face. He said, "Since you don’t want to explain, I don’t want to listen. It doesn’t matter why you wanted to kill me. It’s not important now!"

As he finished speaking, Jiang Yun’s hand tightened suddenly, causing Xia Zhongwu to scream in pain, feeling like his energy was about to burst.

"Stop!"

Xia Qi’s face showed anger again.

Despite hesitating due to the powerful aura of Jiang Yun’s Sky Blessed Realm, the fact that Jiang Yun repeatedly tried to kill Xia Zhongwu in front of him pushed Xia Qi to his limit.

"Jiang Yun, if you want to kill my grandson, go ahead, but consider the consequences!"

Xia Qi coldly said, "If you dare to harm anyone from my Xia family, you will have no place in this realm from now on!"

"In this world, no one dares to shelter you anymore, and no one dares to help you!"

"You and your group, anyone even remotely related to you, will be hunted down by my Xia family relentlessly!"

Jiang Yun’s eyes flashed with a cold light, "Are you threatening me?"

Xia Qi’s aged face regained its composure, "I am not threatening you, I am just informing you of a fact with my status."

"If you don’t believe me, you can ask now. Among the thousands of groups here, is there even one that dares to help you, Jiang Yun, dare to oppose my Xia family?"

Xia Qi’s identity!

This is the power of a strong Sky Blessed Realm individual. Whatever he says can indeed become reality if he wishes.

Xia Qi’s voice resounded emphatically, striking everyone’s hearts heavily, making them unconsciously step back.

However, among the crowd, there was a figure who not only did not retreat but took a step forward and said lightly, "It seems like there is one after all!"
