Chapter 3957: As If Standing on the Edge of an Abyss (Revise

as a long time ago, and I didn't see it with my own eyes.Whether that teleportation array still exists and whether it can still function, I don't know.As soon as his words fell, the old man reached do..."Boom!"

After the bird's call fell, a violent roar suddenly came from deep within the ground.

"Click, click, click!"

Immediately following this, a gigantic crack appeared on the ice surface that had likely existed for millennia. It spread wildly, instantly reaching a length of ten thousand zhang.

When the cracks finally stopped spreading, the earth suddenly and slowly shifted to the sides.

It's as if there were an unseen hand, tearing the earth apart.

Through the massive fissure, already a hundred meters wide, one could gaze into its depths. In the fathomless ice, there seemed to be a tiny black spot.

The next moment, the black dot suddenly moved, appearing directly from the depths of the earth onto the surface.

This is a middle-aged man in black, expressionless, looking up at the white bird in the sky with his hand outstretched.

The little bird immediately swooped down from the air and landed in the man's hand, continuing to speak in human language: "Gu Bingyan, there is a decree from the forbidden zone, ordering you to go to the ruins of the third floor and capture a human cultivator named Gu Yun or Xuanyuan Yun."

This person might change their name, appearance, but they carry my forbidden land token. As long as you get close to them, you'll be able to sense it.

However, you must also be careful, he has quite a few supporters behind him. When you make your move, it's best not to be discovered by others, lest his supporters find out!

The man named Gu Bingyan listened to the bird's words without any expression on his face until this moment. Only then did he look at the bird and say, "Gone"

The little bird blinked its eyes and stopped talking. Suddenly, Gu Bingyan tightened his palm with force, and there was a "bang." He crushed the bird to pieces.

A mass of white mist emanated from his palm, effortlessly washing away the blood in his hand.

Gu Bingyan looked up at the sky, her brows furrowed slightly. "Three layers"

"Heretic cultivator!"

"To catch a low-level practitioner, you actually had to notify me!"

Even if he has some backing, unless those people are with him, I shouldn't intervene!

After a moment of contemplation, Gu Bingyan shook her head and said, "Having been in the forbidden zone for so long, since I was given this task, I naturally have to complete it well."

However, capturing a mere cultivator from the Fa Realm wouldn't require my personal involvement. I'll just have an Ice Puppet handle it!

As his voice faded, Gu Bingyan raised his hand and gently grasped the ground beneath him. A block of ice, about a man's height, rose from the earth and stood before him.

Next, a white thread-like thing flew out from the center of Gu Bingyan's eyebrows and plunged into the ice cube's forehead.

The next moment, the ice seemed to come alive and began to wriggle.

Just ten breaths later, the ice block had transformed into an ice man, identical to Gu Bingyan, except he was wearing a white robe.

Gu Bingyan waved at the iceman and said, "Go!"

The iceman blinked, twisted his neck, and then turned and walked away.

Looking at the iceman disappear from his own eyes, Gu Bingyan shook his head again, still a little confused as to why the forbidden zone would give him such a task.

However, he didn't think much about it and turned to walk back into the fissure in the earth.

And as he sank, the earth that had just parted, began to close once more.

Above the sky, a heavy snowfall suddenly began, quickly burying the ten-thousand-zhang long crack, restoring the earth to its original state.

Everything, it seemed as if nothing had ever happened! Still perched on the great tree of the third layer, Jiang Yun opened his palm at this moment, and a jade slip appeared within.

Within the jade slip, is a third-layer relic map that the little ones have sent to him.

Actually, this map is completely useless to Jiang Yun now.

Because he didn't know where he was.

After glancing at the map a few times, Jiang Yun put it away and muttered to himself, "I should find a city first, or some cultivators, to figure out where I am."

Then, consider my next move.

"If all else fails, just take some missions first to learn more about this ruin."

Within the ruins of the Imperial War, major factions will release various missions, and undertaking these missions is the simplest way to test oneself.

Every task completed will be recorded and become one of the standards for selecting outstanding monks in the future.

However, it's almost impossible to become an outstanding performer solely by completing tasks.

Unless you can independently complete some extremely difficult tasks.

Generally speaking, more challenging tasks require forming a team to undertake them.

If the mission is successfully completed, even if your companions die, the mission will still be counted toward everyone who took on the task.

This way, it's really hard to see how someone's performance stands out.

This approach, of course, is to avoid someone taking on all the tasks and killing the other teammates.

Therefore, accepting the task is only suitable for cultivators who truly want to come here to hone themselves.

Through continuously completing tasks, you can enhance your skills.

After making up his mind, Jiang Yun stood up and carefully looked around. Making sure there were no spatial rifts appearing for the time being, he then jumped down from the tree.

Anyway, Ginger Cloud didn't know where she was, so she chose a direction at random and strode off.

Along the way, Jiang Yun has been carefully observing the spatial rifts that keep appearing.

These cracks appeared completely unexpectedly, without any warning or sound.

Once, Jiang Yun almost stepped into a crack.

Luckily, he reacted quickly enough to barely dodge it.

This also let him experience the danger of being in this place, which is considered the most dangerous among all the ruins.

Indeed, it is something that can catch you off guard! After all, there have been quite a few cultivators who have accidentally fallen into spatial rifts.

Even Jiang Yun didn't dare to push his speed too fast. He could only maintain a level where, in case he encountered a spatial rift, he could react in time. He continued moving forward in the direction he had chosen.

It has to be said, Jiang Yun's luck is still pretty good. After only two days, a city appeared before him.

Ginger had seen countless cities, but never one like this… so simple.

This city, strictly speaking, is no more than a small town.

The wall, which was barely three meters high, looked like it had been gnawed on by dogs. It was dilapidated and riddled with holes.

That city gate was even worse, missing half of it. The remaining half hung precariously on the wall, ready to fall at any moment.

The plaque hanging on the city gate was surprisingly intact. It bore two large characters, "Lin Yuan," written in elegant calligraphy. Seeing the city name, Jiang Yun's mind immediately flashed to the ruins map, where she found the location of Lin Yuan City.

Located at the southwest corner of the ruins! The location of Linbian City can be said to be extremely dangerous.

Because past the Linbian City, continuing in a southwest direction, is an unexplored area.

And the unexplored areas, for cultivators residing within the ruins, are like that abyss they fell into when they first entered the ruins.

That is why this city was named Lin Yuan City, as if it were looking out over an abyss.

Jiang Yun didn't pay much attention to the location of Linbian City. After taking a few glances, he strode into the dilapidated city gate.

Upon entering the city, Jiang Yun's brow involuntarily furrowed.

The area of Linbian City is not small, and there are also many buildings within it.

However, all the buildings were no higher than three stories, and basically every building was dilapidated. Some were missing a corner here, or a piece there.

Jiang Yun was truly surprised. Since this city was built by a group of prodigies, he didn't expect it to be so dilapidated.

If it weren't for the numerous cultivators coming and going in the city, Jiang Yun would have thought this was an abandoned city.

Soon, Jiang Yun became enlightened: "The buildings and cities within the ruins should all have been affected by the spatial rifts that appeared at any time!"

Those spatial rifts are unstoppable by any force. Once they appear, they will mercilessly devour certain things.

For example, buildings and walls!

Over time, this is how it came to be.

Just then, Jiang Yun saw that the cultivators in the city suddenly ran away in all directions, as if something had happened!Moon Lord spoke in a low voice: "Being possessed isn't so bad either!""After your soul has been taken, I will kill you then. That way, you won't die at my hands and I will have avenged you!""That way,...
