aged woman with flowing white hair furrowed her brows and twitched her ears slightly. She muttered to herself, "This technique doesn't belong to our Qidao Sect, but it incorporates the way of music. I...This sudden sound made Jiang Yun and Xuan Yuan's bodies tremble at the same time, their faces filled with joy.

Next, the two of them turned around together to look in the direction the sound came from.

At first glance, the joy on their faces froze instantly.

A middle-aged man was walking slowly behind Jiang Yun. As he walked, he looked around curiously, as if everything here fascinated him.

The man was dressed in a long, blue shirt. Although his appearance was unremarkable, there was something about him that inexplicably made everyone who saw him feel a warmth and sense of familiarity from deep within their hearts.

However, this man's figure was not solid, but illusory, like a soul!

Of course, this man was the senior brother of Jiang Yun and Xuanyuan Xing, Dongfang Bo!

Dongfang Bo arrived in front of them, a hawthorn berry in his hand. He tossed it up and down playfully, a smile on his face as he looked at Jiang Yun and Xuanyuan Xing.

The two rushed a step forward and came to Dongfang Bo's side.

Jiang Yun pointed at his senior brother's illusory body, his voice trembling, "Senior Brother, what's wrong with you"

Although Xuan Yuan Xing didn't speak, a concerned expression appeared on his face.

In their opinion, Dong Fangbo must have encountered some kind of accident that caused his physical body to vanish, leaving only his soul.

What's wrong

Dongfang Bosun, following Jiang Yun's finger, lowered his head to look at his own body. Only then did he realize, waving his hand and saying: "Oh, this!"

"It's nothing, it's just a wisp of my projection, not my true self."

My main form is still in that place.

"Originally, I should have appeared long ago, but due to some unforeseen events there, my true form had to remain. "

However, I didn't expect there to be an unexpected event here.

"I can't solve this alone, so I created this projection to come find you and scare you!"

Listening to the familiar nagging of the elder brother, especially those unclear words, finally put Ginger Cloud and Xuan Yuan Xing at ease. As long as the elder brother was alright, that was all that mattered.

But when Ginger Cloud saw the hawthorn berry swirling in his elder brother's hand, he couldn't help but change his expression slightly and say, "Elder Brother, this..."

This hawthorn clearly originated from the temporal river released by the shepherd previously!

Whether it was Jiang Yun or Ji Kongfan, they had used all their skills and still couldn't solve the river of time. But Dongfang Bo casually turned it into a hawthorn!

To be honest, Ginger Cloud really can't accept this.

Moreover, the Dongfang Bo at this moment is not his true self, but merely a projection from the Four Realms Imperial Mausoleum!

Then, if Dongfang Bo's true self were here, how strong would his power be

"What's this" Dongfang Bo stopped tossing the hawthorn. He reached out and gently squeezed it, and the hawthorn immediately shattered, turning into several threads of temporal energy that spilled from between his fingers.

This scene not only left Jiang Yun and Xuan Yuan Xing and others dumbfounded, but even the shepherd boy beside them was speechless. It was hard to believe that Dong Fang Bo could crush that hawthorn so easily.

This also means that Dongfang Bo is equally adept at the power of time, and his mastery even surpasses that of the Shepherd.

Donghuang Bo completely ignored the shock of the crowd. He clapped his hands with a smile and looked at Jiang Yun, "Old Four, is there a quiet place where our three brothers can have a good chat"

"Of course!" Jiang Yun nodded. "But there's still a small problem here that hasn't been resolved."

"Easy!"

Dongfang Bo's figure flickered, and he instantly appeared before the shepherd boy.

And the boy’s hand again appeared with that candied hawthorn, suddenly hurled toward Dong Fangbo.

Six hawthorn berries swelled up immediately, clearly about to burst.

Six artifacts imbued with the power of time simultaneously detonated. Even if Jiang Yun encountered this, it would be a fatal situation.

However, Dong Fang Bo simply reached out and grabbed the entire string of candied fruit with a casual hand.

And, opening his mouth wide, just like the shepherd before him, he bit into a hawthorn berry.

The remaining five hawthorns swelling underneath immediately returned to their original state, motionless.

Dongfang Bo suddenly reached out and patted the shepherd boy, who was so startled that he froze in place, chewing on hawthorn berries.

The shepherd wanted to dodge, but his body was as if frozen in place, unable to move at all. He could only watch helplessly as Dongfang Bo's palm landed on his shoulder.

The Eastern Scholar ambiguously stated, "Time is not something you eat."

If you keep eating like this, sooner or later, you'll be eaten by others.

"But, you're lucky you met me, so you still have a chance."

When I leave, I'll take you with me. You can be of some help to me.

Of course, I won't let you help me for nothing. As a reward, I'll let you live, and live well.

As soon as the words left his mouth, Dongfang Bo didn't give the shepherd boy a chance to react. The palm that had been pressing down on the shepherd boy's shoulder suddenly slammed down with force. In an instant, the shepherd boy vanished without a trace.

Then, Dongfang Bo turned his head to glance at the darkness in the distance, which was still emitting muffled sounds from time to time. He retracted his gaze and said to Jiang Yun: "Your shadow is good, but you lack experience in dealing with people."

"Upon meeting this individual, it presents a rare opportunity for him. Let them continue as they are."

"Don't worry, he's sure to win!"

"Let me add one more thing, if this shadow of yours doesn't perish, as long as you give him enough time to grow, his future achievements will be limitless."

"Okay, we can go now!"

Ginger Cloud and Xuanyuan Xing were both dumbfounded at the moment, standing there with their eyes fixed on Dongfang Bo. At the same time, a similar question arose in their minds.

Could this person in front of me really be my own senior brother

Although the eldest brother was the best among them, in their opinion, his strength was roughly equal to theirs.

It hasn't been long since we last met, Big Brother, but you've already become so much stronger.

No, that's ridiculously outrageous!

That shepherd, even with the combined strength of three from Ginger Cloud, was a formidable opponent. Yet, before the senior brother, he couldn't even muster a defense and was effortlessly subdued.

Not only them, but anyone who witnessed this at the moment, whether they knew Dong Fangbo or not, was filled with astonishment!

Even powerful figures like Ji Kongfan and Nan Fengchen are no exception.

Especially Nan Feng Chen even whispered, “This is Jiang Yun’s senior brother”

Even Jiang Yun's master uncle, it seems, doesn't possess this kind of strength!

"If he were in the Bitter Domain, he would definitely be an emperor-level powerhouse!"

Speaking of this, Nan Fengchen suddenly frowned and said: "That's not right. If such a powerful figure appears in the gathering domain, Ku Yu will definitely pay attention to it."

"But not only have I never heard of his origins, but if Kùyù knew of this person's existence, they wouldn't possibly send someone like Tài Shǐ Yáo here for a trial."

"A realm of suffering, unaware of this person's existence..."

How could this person have deceived the Bitter Realm Could it be that he is from…

Just as the thought popped into Nan Fengchen's mind, his body suddenly stiffened, and he was frozen in place.

Because Dongfang Bo's gaze suddenly fell upon her!

The next moment, Dongfang Bo was already pointing directly at her, looking at Jiang Yun and saying, "Fourth brother, who is she"

Jiang Yun simply transmitted his voice and said, "Descendants of the master."

"Oh!" Dongfang Bo nodded. "I said, how could a cultivator from the bitter domain be with Master Uncle"

She's a descendant of the Grandmaster. Logically, I shouldn't attack her, but...

Then, Dong Fangbo suddenly changed the subject and said, "Alas, I can only offend you."

As soon as the words left his lips, Dongfang Bo extended a finger towards Feng Chen. Although Feng Chen had already sensed that Dongfang Bo seemed to be intending harm, faced with this finger, there was no way to dodge it, and he could only watch helplessly as the finger landed on his brow.

A wave of drowsiness washed over him, and Nan Fengchen closed his eyes.

Dongfang Bo rushed to Jiang Yun and said, "It's fine, I erased her memory of seeing me."

"Alright, let's go..." Before Dongfang Bo could finish his sentence, he suddenly patted his head and said, "Almost forgot."

"What are you two doing sneaking around there Come out!"

Dongfang Bo pointed towards the rift in the distance, and two figures stumbled out. was about to fight back, the flame transformed into a firebird.And immediately following this, the firebird exploded with a deafening boom, transforming into a sheet of blue water. Rising from within...
