nes that remained faintly glowing from where Dugu Wen had just touched them.With a slight hesitation, Jiang Yun walked to the middle and sat down cross-legged. Then he stretched out his palm and gentl...Although the memories of the Five Souls were extremely chaotic, like fragments scattered everywhere, Tai Shi Changli was no ordinary person. Naturally, he could see through it all. The reason why Jiang Yun went on a killing spree against Tai Shi Xuan and Tai Shi Yao was because Tai Shi Yao had imprisoned the souls of the Heavenly Watchers and captured the Undying Elder.

"It seems this soul has a special relationship with that Jiang Yun!"

In Taishi Changli's self-talking voice, he reached out and the Zhenhun flag flew directly into his hand. With a forceful shake, the immortal old man's soul instantly flew out.

At this moment, the immortal old man's eyes are closed, falling into a coma. He shows no reaction to anything happening around him.

A black thread also spread across Taishi Chang's eyebrows, shooting straight towards the immortal old man's soul.

The black line easily merged into the immortal elder's soul.

However, just as Taishi Chang wanted to begin the soul-searching process, a powerful force surged from the undead elder's soul, forcefully pushing back the black line.

Even, on the immortal's brow, a single drop of crimson blood appeared!

That power comes from this single drop of blood!

Looking at this drop of blood, Taishi Changli's face instantly turned extremely ugly. Gritting his teeth, he squeezed out a few words: "Imperial Blood Protection!"

"So-called blood protection refers to the emperor using a single drop of his own blood, leaving a mark on a person or object."

Although Tai Shi Chang Li wasn't an emperor, being from the Tai Shi family, how could he not know about the protection of imperial blood

His soul banner also had the protection of Imperial Blood.

However, it was not among the thirty-three soul-reviving flags bestowed upon Taishi Yao, but rather within the main flag itself.

This is also why, back then, when Jiang Yun wanted to use his divine sense to probe the Soul-Suppressing Banner, he was stopped.

Imperial Blood Protection is both a safeguard and a symbol, but also a warning to anyone who wishes to harm someone or forcefully seize something: the person or object is under the protection of an Emperor.

If you dare to continue forcefully searching souls or erasing the divine consciousness of objects, then this Great Emperor will not only know, but you will also be declaring war on a Great Emperor.

Tai Shi Chang never expected that the soul, absorbed by his junior from the Gathering Domain into the Soul-Suppressing Banner, would actually be protected by Imperial Blood.

Although the imperial blood protection can be forcibly broken, as an emperor, his essence blood is extremely precious. Being protected by his imperial blood means that person must be extremely close to him.

Therefore, Taishi Changli, not knowing whose imperial blood it was, dared not forcefully continue to search the soul of the undead old man.

Although the Taishijia is one of the Six Great Powers and considered top-tier throughout the Kunyu, the higher their strength and status, the more they understand about Heaven and Earth, the more cautious they become!

Taishi Changli knew very well that within the Suffering Realm, there were Emperors that even the Taishi family couldn't afford to offend.

If a powerful emperor were behind the old man who wouldn't die, then even if that person didn't destroy the Tai Shi family, offending an emperor for no reason would be a foolish choice.

"That's not right!" Tai Shi Changli suddenly frowned and said, "An Emperor couldn't possibly appear within the Gathering Domain. Then what about the Emperor whose blood was left behind in this soul to offer protection..."

"Could it be that the Sanjing Zang truly exists within the Jutian Jiyu"

He shook his head and continued, "It's also possible that it was an emperor from the suffering realm."

After all, back then in order to hunt down Gu, quite a few Emperors from Ku Yu also went to Ji Yu.

Although most of them are already dead, perhaps there is still one alive, hiding among the celestial realms.

After a moment's thought, Tai Shi Changli's palm produced a pearl.

This is a soul orb specially refined by the Historian, used to imprison a soul body in isolation.

Tai Shi Chang Li received the immortal old man's soul and stored it within a Soul Pearl.

Since the undead old woman had an emperor behind her, Taishi Changli not only dared not continue to search her soul, but also did not dare to let her stay in the Soul Chasing Banner, allowing her to be erased of her intelligence and become a puppet.

"In a few days, I'll go to the secret chamber and see if I can figure out which emperor this imperial blood comes from."

The Secret Vault is a unique place in the Realm of Tribulation. It isn't controlled by any power but functions like a vast library, holding countless secrets and historical events of the Realm throughout its existence.

It also includes the Emperor Blood Imprints of almost every emperor who has appeared in Ku Yu over the years.

By contrast, one might be able to discern the identity of the emperor who left behind imperial blood.

If the emperor behind the immortal elder were just an ordinary emperor within the suffering realm, Tai Shi Chang Li wouldn't hesitate any longer. He would forcefully break open the seal and search the immortal elder's memories.

If the emperor behind the immortal old man is someone even a historian like him can't afford to provoke, then he must take the immortal old man's soul and seek out that emperor to apologize!

As for completely erasing the immortal elder's form and spirit, pretending not to know about it, he would never dare to do so.

After all, the process of Taishi Yao absorbing the soul of the Immortal Elder with the Soul-Calming Banner was witnessed by many. If the Emperor were determined to investigate, he would definitely be able to find out.

However, Taishi Changli hoped more that the emperor behind the immortal old man was not recorded in the secret archives.

Then it means that the emperor is most likely from the San Jing Cang.

After temporarily solving the problem of the immortal elder, Tai Shi Changli took out a communication jade slip. Looking at the figure of Han Shiru who appeared before him, he sneered coldly: "Han Shiru, your courage is growing bolder and bolder. You even dare to deceive me!"

Taishi Chang was filled with anger right now, and could only vent it on Han Shiru.

The scholar, Han Shi-ru, was so scared that he directly let out a "poof" sound and fell to his knees, kowtowing like pounding garlic: "Great Historian Sir, I've been wrongly accused!"

Even the most daring of villains would not dare to deceive you!

"You dare say there wasn't!"

Taishi Changli said coldly, "That Jiang Yun not only has already returned to the Zhutianjiyu, but also just killed one of our Taishi family members sent there, and captured another."

"What!" Han Shiru immediately raised his head, his face filled with astonishment. "How is that possible!"

"Master, the Heavenly Gang First Domain has always been sealed, and no one has ever left. How could Jiang Yun have possibly escaped back to the myriad heavens domain"

"I really don't know about this!"

"Sir, I'll bring my men to the Zhutian Collection Realm right away. I will destroy it and kill Jiang Yun to redeem my sins."

Taishi Changli stopped speaking, just staring coldly at Hanshi Ru. After a long while, he finally spoke slowly: "Now in the Celestial Gathering Realm, there are one hundred cultivators from the Suffering Realm."

"Although they claim to stay out of domain wars, if you attack the Zhutianji Domain at this time and disrupt their affairs, then you'll be the one who dies!"

Han Shiru's heart was shaken. He hadn't expected that so many cultivators had entered the Zhutianji domain from the Kuyu domain. However, he didn't dare to ask why. He hurriedly nodded and said, "Thank you for the reminder, Senior Cultivator. This disciple understands!"

"Alright, when they're gone, then you go attack the Azure Heavens Domain."

Waving his hand, Taishi Chang also had no mood to continue chatting with Han Shiru.

After putting away the transmission jade slip, Tai Shi Changli pondered for a moment before saying, "No, we can't let Jiang Yun die."

"The problem is, within a short period of time, even I, the historian, cannot send anyone else to the Zhutian Gathering Region. So how can we bring Jiangyun back to Kudu"

"Why don't I have other cultivators from the Kūdomu help me, and bring it back to the Kūdomu"

Now, Tai Shi Chang Li's interest in Jiang Yun is no longer simply about killing him, but has grown into something much larger.

He was very curious about what secrets Jiang Yun possessed that could make the Five Souls and the Soul-Suppressing Banner fear him.

If he knew this secret, he believed that it would be of unimaginable benefit to himself as a historian.

After a long while, Taishi Chang left the table with a cold smile and said: "Since the Shadow Pavilion sent An Tian this time, then let the Shadow Pavilion handle it."

Just then, a hurried voice came from his servant's ear: "Master, it's not good. Someone from the Bitter Temple has arrived, saying that you have violated the rules and brought back the souls of the domain beings!"
