Beneath the boiling yellow sand, black scorpions, each as large as a human head, continuously burrowed out.

In the blink of an eye, at least a thousand scorpions appeared around Jiang Yun, densely packed and awe-inspiring.

"These are Sand Venom Scorpions. Although they are only Fifth-Order Vicious Beasts, they are fierce by nature and always appear in large groups. Coupled with their potent venom, even a Cultivator at the Nine Levels of Vein Opening! would rather avoid them. Now, Jiang Yun has dug his own grave; he's in danger."

Among the observing Disciples, someone recognized the origin of these scorpions, and upon hearing his words, everyone nodded in agreement.

If he could kill them, it would be easier, but since he couldn't kill them and could only tame them, facing so many Sand Venom Scorpions, the best solution was to flee in panic.

A thousand Sand Venom Scorpions all waved their two pincers, raising their tail hooks high, which gleamed like sharp blades, crawling towards Jiang Yun one after another.

Jiang Yun, however, remained calm. As the closest Sand Venom Scorpion was almost at his feet, his eyes suddenly burst forth with fierce light. He pointed at the fresh blood dripping from his arm, and at the same time, a bloody Qi emanated from his body.

"Mist Fiend!"

"Boom!"

The fresh blood on Jiang Yun's arm instantly exploded, transforming into a blood mist that rapidly surged and condensed into an enormous, blood-colored palm, covering the sky and pressing down on all the Sand Venom Scorpions with a thunderous force.

Jiang Yun had used this technique to strike down Zheng Yuan, who was in the air, and now that he had entered the Eleventh Level of Tongmai Realm, the power of this technique naturally increased. It was no longer a mere finger strike, but transformed into a palm.

"Buzz!"

As the blood palm struck, the yellow sandy ground trembled, and the Sand Venom Scorpions under the blood palm's cover were as if struck by lightning, all freezing in place, clearly deeply intimidated.

Disciples who Cultivate the Dao of Beast Taming, in addition to carrying special sachets to guard against Vicious Beasts, would learn several Beast Seals once they advanced to outer Disciple.

The purpose of Beast Seals was to form seals with Spiritual Qi and inject them into the Vicious Beast's body, thereby attempting to tame it.

Although Jiang Yun didn't know any Beast Seals, the bloody Qi on his body inherently possessed the ability to deter Vicious Beasts, and the Mist Fiend technique focused on deterrence. Therefore, he thought of using this method to intimidate the Vicious Beasts!

Strictly speaking, this wasn't taming, but Jiang Yun's goal was just to leave here, so he didn't care.

Looking at the motionless Sand Venom Scorpions around him, Jiang Yun raised his foot, preparing to leave. However, just as his raised foot landed, the Sand Venom Scorpion closest to him suddenly raised its tail hook and fiercely stabbed at Jiang Yun's calf.

With a crisp "clang," not only did the Sand Venom Scorpion's tail hook directly break, but its entire body was also shaken and sent flying.

Jiang Yun's Physical Body was now so strong that even a sharp blade couldn't harm it, let alone a Fifth-Order Vicious Beast.

However, as this Sand Venom Scorpion was sent flying, all the other motionless Sand Venom Scorpions suddenly started moving again. From a distance, they looked like a black ocean surging towards Jiang Yun.

This sudden scene made Jiang Yun's brows furrow sharply, vaguely sensing that something was wrong. One must know that even a Ninth-Order Vicious Beast in Mang Mountain would not dare to act rashly when facing the Qi he emitted, yet these venomous scorpions, under the dual deterrence of his Qi and the Mist Fiend technique, were able to move uncontrollably.

However, at this moment, he didn't have time to ponder the reason. Although he wasn't afraid of these Sand Venom Scorpions, the rules of the Illusory Beast Diagram stated that not a single Vicious Beast could be killed!

Even if he didn't attack, given the strength of his Physical Body, if the Sand Venom Scorpions used a little more force, they could very likely be shaken to death.

In desperation, Jiang Yun could only start dodging!

Fortunately, Jiang Yun's speed and reactions were quick enough. His feet moved continuously, and in an instant, he had already escaped the scorpion swarm.

Looking at the still surging scorpion swarm from a distance, Jiang Yun's brows gradually furrowed.

If he couldn't intimidate these Vicious Beasts, then he wouldn't be able to find the exit of the Illusory Beast Diagram. In that case, even if he could last for three hours, he would still fail the peak challenge in the end.

But looking at the scorpion swarm surging towards him again, Jiang Yun truly had no solution and could only continue to quickly dodge. It was at this moment that Bai Ze's voice suddenly sounded in his mind: "What are you doing?"

Jiang Yun briefly explained his predicament, and after listening, Bai Ze was silent for a moment before saying: "It's not that your deterrence is no longer effective. It's that all the Vicious Beasts in this space have been controlled by a Yao Beast. No, this Yao Beast is also temporarily controlled by a human!"

"What!"

Upon hearing Bai Ze's words, Jiang Yun's face immediately revealed a look of shock.

Because Dongfang Bo and the others had made it very clear that although the Illusory Beast Diagram was usually controlled by Wan Hongbo, when it was activated, the Vicious Beasts and Yao Beasts within it were masterless, otherwise, how could one speak of taming them?

"Who controlled that Yao Beast?"

"Interesting, it's a little girl! She and that Yao Beast are not far from you. Rather than saying these Little Beasts were attracted by your blood, it's more accurate to say she drove them here!"

Fang Ruolin!

As soon as he heard it was a woman, Jiang Yun almost immediately thought of the person's identity. Besides Fang Ruolin, no one else would actively attack him within this Illusory Beast Diagram.

However, another doubt arose in Jiang Yun's heart: why could Fang Ruolin control a Yao Beast?

One must know that a Yao Beast is equivalent to a human Cultivator in the Blessed Land Realm. Even he had no certainty of controlling one if he encountered it, yet Fang Ruolin was able to do so!

Moreover, how did she know his location? After all, everyone's starting location after entering the Illusory Beast Diagram was completely random.

"Could it be that the Hundred Beast Peak Master is secretly helping her?"

This thought was quickly dismissed by Jiang Yun, because he knew that countless people were certainly paying attention to the situation here. If Wan Hongbo truly dared to secretly act, even if he could hide it from others, he would never be able to hide it from Gu Bu Lao.

"Then it can only be that before this Illusory Beast Diagram was activated, Wan Hongbo gave Fang Ruolin some benefits, allowing her not only to control Yao Beasts within this Illusory Beast Diagram but also to know my location."

"The purpose of all this is naturally to kill me!"

Although Jiang Yun didn't know that Wei Zhengyang had approached Wan Hongbo, his analysis was almost entirely correct. After understanding these matters, Jiang Yun's eyes flashed with cold light and he said: "Can you tell me where she is?"

"What do you want to do?"

"I want to kill!"

Since the Illusory Beast Diagram allowed Disciples to die, and the situation between himself and Fang Ruolin was already one of endless hostility, now that she had made the first move, he wouldn't be polite.

"Kill!" Bai Ze's voice revealed a hint of pleasure: "Originally, I could consider this request of yours as your wish! However, I love killing the most, and I haven't killed in a long time, so I'll help you this once. She is nearly a hundred li to your west. Also, the Yao Beast she controls is the Demon Lord of this space, which is to say, the strongest."

Before Bai Ze could finish speaking, Jiang Yun, with a face full of Killing Intent, had already started striding towards the west.
