o!In the center of this nine-colored world, there was a gigantic sea of fire, spanning over ten thousand zhang. The flames blazed fiercely, but strangely, their shapes kept changing during the burning...They, too, went to the Underworld but returned here after failing to find Jiang Yun. They arrived almost at the same time as Xun Tian and the others, naturally witnessing everything that had just happened.

For other things, they didn't care, but the Angel of Patrol's art of severing others' ties surprised them.

That should be it!

The elderly man in the hat nodded. "Moreover, Xuntian's move was extremely skillful. He only severed the connections between them and one domain, as well as between each other, but he didn't touch any other connections at all."

Then Gu Bulao continued, "If it were you, could you do it"

The elder pondered for a moment seriously and said, "It is possible to do it, but it requires some time. It can't be done as cleanly and swiftly as he did, in an instant."

Gu Bulao sighed and said, "I can't do it either. This shows that the strength of the one who patrols the heavens is getting stronger and stronger. Perhaps we shouldn't continue waiting."

The elder shook his head and said, "If the second brother were here, with our four combined strength, we could certainly give it a try. But with only three of us, to be honest, I have no confidence!"

"Second Senior Brother…" Gu Bulao lifted his head and gazed at the boundless boundary gap, lost in thought.

After a long while, Gu Bulao finally retracted his gaze and said: "Now that the great war in Linggu Domain has come to an end, they should be preparing for the Heavenly Trial next. For now, there's nothing we need to do."

"Alright, I'm off!"

"Wait!" the old man called out to Gu Bulao, who was about to turn and leave. "Are you going to look for your youngest brother"

"Of course!" said Gu Bulao, nodding.

As you saw before, all of Xue Qing and the other lower realm cultivators besides Ji Kong Fan have already forgotten about Jiang Yun.

If my guess is correct, Jiang Yun must have considered the possibility that they could be accepted as disciples by major Celestial Venerables. He was also worried about dragging them down, so he severed the connection between them beforehand!

However, I understand my fourth son. He is a man of great affection. Even if he severs the bond, he will only sever the ties with their external relationships, leaving them with merely a memory of him being absent.

But he himself, surely still remembers them well, absolutely won't forget.

But...

At this point, Gu Bulao suddenly took a deep breath, his eyes swirling with cold light as he said: "But the Heaven-Surveying Technique used by Xun Tian severed the inner connection of these lower realm cultivators, causing Lao Si to forget them too."

This means that from now on, within this celestial domain, my youngest brother will remember almost no one besides me.

"This celestial realm told him, 'You're already a stranger in this world. Now, you'll truly become a lonely soul, utterly isolated with no support system, no friends or family. Of course, I must find him!"

Gu Bulao spoke more and more excitedly, his chest rising and falling dramatically, showing the anger and worry in his heart at this moment.

Upon hearing Gu Bulao's words, although the old man wearing a hat had the intention to retort, he couldn't find any words to refute him for a while.

He knew Gu Bulao very well, knowing that he was extremely protective of his own. Since there was no way for Jiang Yun to enter the Zhutianjiyu safely, he felt deeply remorseful in his heart and naturally couldn't rest assured about Jiang Yun now.

After a moment of silence, Gu Bulao continued, "Moreover, even though Jiang Yun has escaped, the thirteen of them will definitely not let this go. They will never forgive Jiang Yun."

"Even if Jiang Yun changed his appearance and concealed his aura, since he is a descendant of Jiang Qiuyang and the Jiang clan's bloodline is extremely special, I'm afraid that Xun Tian and the others would still be able to find him."

The old man finally spoke in a low voice: "Since you know so much, I ask you this, how vast is the Gathering Domain of All Heavens Given you a hundred, even a thousand years, could you find him"

In this gathering of heavens, no matter how many masters are hidden, and no matter how powerful your ancient or modern strength is, here, it remains the thirteen people's gathering of heavens!

They have far more manpower and resources at their disposal than you on any front.

If you can find your disciples, they will naturally be able to find you too, and they will probably even find you faster than you can!

"Even if you took the first step and found Ginger Cloud before them, what would you do after finding him"

"Are you going to keep him chained by your side at all times, or are you taking him with you to fight the Sky-Hunters"

Gu Bulao smiled faintly and said, "As for this, you needn't worry about it. I will naturally protect my disciple's safety. Farewell!"

After uttering this sentence, Gu Bulao didn't give the elder a chance to speak further. He took a step forward and vanished without a trace!

Looking in the direction where Gu Bulao disappeared, the elder sighed deeply and shook his head. He chose the opposite direction and slowly walked away.

"Never forget, I will never forget!"

At this moment, still in her room, Jiang Yun had disheveled hair, a flushed face, and tightly closed eyes. She kept muttering that phrase over and over again.

In his hand was also a gold sword broken in several places. Where the blade, no longer sharp, had been, blood continued to drip incessantly.

During the sixteen years that Gingercloud grew up in Ginger Village, his body bore hundreds of scars that never healed.

Later on, he found out that those scars were seals left by his grandfather, and as the seals were lifted, the scars had already disappeared.

But now, his already bare chest was a bloody mess, with countless new wounds, even more than before.

His arms, his chest, his shoulders—there wasn't a single patch of skin left intact.

Because of that, it was covered with name after name!

Xue Qing, Xiao Shou, Jiang Ying, Ye Gu Chen, Liu Peng, Yue Ru Huo, Shura, Jian Sheng...

Although Gingercloud doesn't know what the "skill of severing karmic ties" is, he knows a powerful force is gradually cutting him off from Xueqing and the others. His memories of them are becoming increasingly blurry.

He knew that it wouldn't be long before all of his memories of them would vanish.

Because this nameless strong warrior's Severing Fate Art completely severed all karmic ties between Xueqing and the others, the Underworld, and himself.

And as he himself said, he could never forget these people, never forget them, even in death.

But he was powerless to resist this force, so he could only use this way, before he forgot these people, to engrave the names of everyone he cared about firmly on his own body!

Because he knew that his Annihilation Dao Body possessed powerful self-healing abilities, every stroke of every name was more than just inscribed on his skin; it ran deep into his bones, forming seal after seal!

Even so, he was worried that his body would be destroyed, leaving him to forget these names and these people. Therefore, at this moment, he actually used his own life fire, transforming it into a dagger, burning his soul, and on his soul, he carved these names as well!

"...never forget, never..."

Jiang Yun's mumbled words suddenly ceased. His divine sense, filled with bewilderment, gazed at the names on his soul, some complete, others incomplete.

Then, he opened his eyes again. The eyes, now filled with boundless blood, held the same bewilderment as before, staring at the several names on his bare body.

Xueqing, Xiaowei, Liu Peng, Jiang Ying...

He looked at the names, whispering them to himself. When he had finished reading them all, he muttered: "Who are these people"

"Why would I carve them into my body, into my very soul"ped by the Karma Old Man himself.The Watcher of Angels, naturally knows a few things. He's never told anyone though.However, none of them expected that the relationship between the Karma Elder and Gin...
