Chapter 3922: As Still as a Mountain (Revised) >
as frozen, with only the five of them standing in silent contemplation.Until after a long time, Gu Bulao finally spoke again: “My path and the path you pursue are incompatible. I cannot take you as my...The Town-Emperor Sword, at this moment, actually trembled slightly! These ten days, in fact, Jiang Mu also entered the Town-Emperor Sword, along with Zhu Shao and others, trying their best to repair the Eight Gates Formation.
Although, as Ginger Cloud guessed, they couldn't fully restore the Eight Gates Formation in a short time, at least they managed to give it a rudimentary shape.
Especially, with the help of Mirage, he inserted the Town Emperor Sword back into the Imperial Tomb slightly.
This also means that the suppression of the Imperial Tomb by the Zhundi Sword is not much weaker than before.
Moreover, based on their past experience, once the Imperial Mausoleum launches an attack, it will remain in a state of calm for a considerable period of time and there will be no further surprises.
Even, if this time wasn't because of Huangfu Jing, for one's own selfish interest, triggering a door to open, then nothing would have happened at all.
Therefore, the aftermath work done by Jiang Mu and others went relatively smoothly, and they were not too worried. They believed that there would be further movements in the imperial tomb.
At this moment, the Zhen Di Sword was trembling slightly again. This indicated that the things within the Imperial Tomb were possibly about to launch another attack! It goes without saying that Jiang Mu was shocked! Not only Jiang Mu, but also Zhushaoshang and Moyuntings, and the three of them changed their expressions at the same time.
At this point, they should put everything aside and rush to the Town Emperor Sword to see what is going on.
But, Dong Fangbo's soul hadn't been separated yet, and the three of them were protecting it individually, also suppressing Elder Brother and Sister Jiang Yun's souls.
Before, Gu Zhu had already said that this kind of soul separation would bring pain to Jiang Yun and cause the other two souls to struggle.
Jiang Yun was still alright, though he was in pain, his mind remained clear. He only let out a low groan, his body and soul remaining perfectly still.
While Xuan Yuanxing and Situ Jing's struggles were instinctive behaviors, entirely out of control. Thankfully, Qiong Yu and Moyuntings' efforts in suppressing them prevented any interference with Gu Zhu.
If they let go now, not only will all their previous efforts be in vain, but it's also very likely that things will get worse for Jiang Yun and his fellow disciples, even to the point of utter destruction.
But, no matter how important Jiang Yun's situation is, it pales in comparison to the Imperial Mausoleum.
If the Imperial Tombs were to experience another incident, the entire chaotic world could descend into chaos.
Therefore, Zhu Shao took a deep breath and said to Mo Yun Ting and Qiong Yu, "Alright, you two continue guarding here. I'll go take a look and see what's going on."
Before their voices could even fully rise, they heard Jiang Mu's voice: "No need!"
"You guys don't have to worry about it for now. I'll go take a look first. I have the Mirage to help me. If there's really anything going on, I'll let you know and you can come."
Ginger Mu is the leader of the Four City Masters, the strongest in power and the oldest in age.
With Jiang Mu taking the initiative to volunteer, the three young masters naturally wouldn't argue with him.
Besides, Jiang Mu has the assistance of Mirage, making him indeed more suitable for this journey.
After uttering those words, Jiang Mu's figure vanished from above Zhujing Garden and appeared inside the Town Emperor Sword.
Now, within the Zhending Sword, there is nothing. There are no living beings present.
While Jiang Mu spoke in a low voice, "What just happened"
An aged voice immediately came from beneath the earth: "Just now, there was a tremor within the Imperial Tomb, but it vanished in an instant and has not reappeared."
As the sound rang out, an elder also appeared before Jiang Mu.
This is a powerful Demon Clan warrior, the newly appointed City Lord of Sijinzhen, tasked with guarding the Eight Gates Array.
The Eight Gates Array must be guarded at all times, with powerful warriors from the four clans rotating shifts every hundred years.
Jiang Mu frowned slightly and said, "Let's go, I'll go with you to have a look!"
The two went deeper underground, arriving at the tip of the sword.
Ginger Mu squatted down and carefully checked the ground, but he didn't find anything unusual.
However, Jiang Mu certainly wouldn't leave just like that. After some thought, he said: "Let's each guard a position and see if there will be any more movement."
Of course, there was no objection from the powerful demons.
Thus, the two of them each occupied one side, closely monitoring the surroundings for any movement.
Inside the Bamboo Path Garden, the four young men who had been anxiously waiting were still on edge. Even though a while had passed and they hadn't sensed any more movement from the Imperial Tomb, they didn't dare to completely relax.
Several young men couldn't help but urge Gu Zhu: "Old Gu, please hurry up! If Jiang Mu informs on us, we'll have to leave immediately!"
"You don't have to worry about Gu Yun and their safety, the three of us will definitely protect them!"
Before, Gu Zhu's actions were all cautious, trying to minimize the impact on Jiang Yun and the others.
The situation is now extremely critical, so we can only urge him to hurry.
Gu Zhu's voice sounded in Jiang Yun's ear, "Gu Yun, the Emperor's Tomb has moved again. I need to speed up and sever your soul!"
"If you can't handle it, please tell me as soon as possible. Don't try to bear it alone."
Ginger Cloud didn't feel any change in the Imperial Tombs, so when she heard Gu Zhu's words, she was also taken aback.
Unexpectedly, the Imperial Tombs showed signs of movement again at this time.
Ginger Cloud naturally understood that if something really happened at the Imperial Tomb, those young masters would definitely stop caring about him.
Jiang Yun said in a deep voice, "Senior Gu, you do as you please!"
Gu Zhu no longer spoke, the mist he had transformed into accelerated its swirling.
But the next moment, Jiang Yun's face suddenly changed drastically. His whole body stiffened instantly, as if petrified.
Then, he saw that where Eastern Scholar stood in the Soul of Ginger Cloud, cracks began to appear.
This caused the three young men to involuntarily frown slightly.
Actually, this situation of souls coexisting can be summed up in two ways. One is simply attachment.
Just as two souls are intertwined, tearing them apart would separate them.
This is a relatively simple case, the only thing to note is to avoid injuring the souls of the two during the tearing process.
And another way of coexisting is much more complex, which is the fusion of two souls.
You have me, and I have you! Dongfang Bo and Jiang Yun exist in this way.
So, to separate them, with the three souls of Dongfang Bo severely weakened, the only option was to target Jiang Yun's soul.
To speed things up, Gu Zhu also chose the most direct method, just like surgery. He would cut open Jiang Yun's soul and take out Dongfang Bo's soul.
The soul is the most vulnerable part of any living being. To sever a soul, the pain it would inflict is unimaginable! Even Xuan Yuan Xing and Situ Jing's souls seemed to feel this pain. Both had opened their eyes, their faces twisted in agony, struggling desperately, forcing Mo Yun Ting and Qiong Yu to concentrate their efforts, suppressing them with all their might.
However, to their surprise, Ginger Cloud, who should have been enduring the greatest pain, was remarkably calm at this moment.
Jiang Yun sat there, his body still as a mountain, not even a tremor in his soul.
... But from his tightly closed mouth and eyes, blood was constantly seeping out! That was because he had gritted his teeth and strained his pupils to control his body and soul from trembling. Ginger Cloud could certainly feel the pain, but thinking of being able to restore his senior brother and sister's freedom, no matter how great the pain was, he could endure it and be content with it! Originally, Zhu Shao had volunteered to protect Ginger Cloud's soul. In fact, their original purpose was to take advantage of the opportunity to scheme against Ginger Cloud and retaliate for the fact that Ginger Cloud had just pointed a gun at them earlier. ...
But now he realized that Ginger Cloud didn't need him to protect her at all! This naturally also made admiration appear in his eyes. If it were him, he absolutely couldn't endure such pain like Ginger Cloud did! "Ah!"
After nearly half a quarter of an hour, Dongfang Bo, who had finally been separated from Jiang Yun's soul, suddenly let out a roar! And with the sound of this roar, Jiang Mu, who was far away in the Town Emperor Sword, once again felt a slight tremor coming from the Imperial Mausoleum! true forces of the Lei Ji Tian.Or perhaps, it is the very place that has the qualifications to be the disciples who can seize the power of Heaven and perform the Heavenly Punishment.Leihuo Sect, it w...
