Chapter 195: Chapter 195: Raising Soldiers for a Thousand Days

“Senior Brother Jiang, you should go outside and lay low for a while.”

The outer sect disciple suggested, “Come back when the heat has died down.”

“If they can’t find you, maybe the elders of the Giant Sect will leave.”

Jiang Fan shook his head slightly.

“What the Giant Sect wants is not just me.”

“They want to establish their might, to scare the Nine-Sect Land as a warning!”

...

“If they can’t find me, they will make other harsh demands.”

The outer sect disciple suddenly understood.

He immediately smiled wryly, “What should we do then?”

“With this jade token in their hands, the Giant Sect will act as they please.”

Jiang Fan frowned deeply.

Yes!

The problem was still with that Nascent Soul Jade Token.

As long as it existed, the Giant Sect would reign supreme for one more day.

Even if they didn’t trouble the Green Cloud Sect today, they would in the future.

“Sigh! Has the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion gone mad? Releasing such a dangerous thing.”

The outer sect disciple sighed helplessly, “If only we could steal that jade token back.”

“Then the Giant Sect wouldn’t dare to act so recklessly.”

“But the token is in their hands, who dares to steal it?”

Huh?

Jiang Fan’s eyes widened suddenly, a thought flashed in his mind.

After careful analysis, he felt it was quite feasible!

“Stealing might be hard, but stealing, not necessarily impossible?”

He quickly ran back to the peak, heading to his courtyard.

At this moment, the little Qilin was lying on a soft, fluffy blanket, sound asleep.

It was clutching several spiritual medicines, with half of one still in its mouth.

Occasionally, it would move its mouth, making chewing sounds.

Jiang Fan showed an expectant expression, “Using soldiers you’ve raised for a thousand days, now it’s the time!”

“You’ve eaten so many of my spirit pills and spiritual medicines, it’s time to work, right?”

He grabbed the little Qilin’s tail and shook it in the air.

The little Qilin woke up drowsily, flailing its limbs in displeasure and making protesting hums.

“Annoying, I was dreaming of lots and lots of food.”

“All ruined by the master!”

It expressed its dissatisfaction.

Jiang Fan laughed, taking out a Revitalizing Pill, “Master will make your dreams come true!”

At first, the little Qilin didn’t care.

But after smelling the scent of the pill, its eyes lit up, and it threw away the spiritual medicines in its arms.

Then it agilely flipped onto his arm, staring at the Revitalizing Pill with drooling mouth, its short legs pressed together, deep in longing:

“Master, give it to me, please master, give it to me!”

Jiang Fan, however, closed his hand, putting away the pill.

This made the little Qilin anxious, wailing nonstop and running around on him.

The temptation of a third-grade spirit pill was far stronger than those ordinary spiritual medicines!

Jiang Fan slightly smiled, “If you want to eat it, help me steal something.”

“Get it for me, and you can have this pill.”

The little Qilin tilted its head, scratching it in confusion:

“But master, didn’t you just scold me a few days ago, telling me not to steal?”

“Why are you now asking me to steal?”

Jiang Fan blushed, with a solemn face he said, “When a cultured person steals, can it even be called stealing?”

“That’s called taking!”

“Help me get a jade token, it’s sealed in a jade box.”

“I need you to take it quietly, can you do that?”

He was a little worried.

After all, the little Qilin could only teleport.

But the jade box was narrow, and the little Qilin was really chubby.

If it couldn’t teleport in, that would be problematic.

The little Qilin, however, nodded without hesitation, “It’s very easy!”

Thinking this, it immediately started a demonstration.

It stood up and opened its mouth toward a nearby spiritual medicine.

The next moment.

The spiritual medicine suddenly disappeared, appearing in the little Qilin’s mouth.

Jiang Fan was stunned, “You can retrieve things through space?”

How had he not noticed this before?

The little Qilin nodded, “Yes, because I found, using my paws to grab things and put them in my mouth was tiring.”

“It’s more comfortable lying down and letting the food run into my mouth on its own.”

“And then I just learned it.”

Jiang Fan was speechless!

For a moment, he didn’t know whether to scold it for being too lazy or marvel at its strong spatial talent.

However, this solved Jiang Fan’s worries.

With this ability to retrieve objects from space, getting that jade token wouldn’t be too difficult?

“By the way, are there any limits?”

Being cautious, Jiang Fan asked.

No matter how divine the spatial retrieval was, there had to be a certain range, right?

Surely the little Qilin couldn’t grab something from the Giant Sect a thousand miles away while standing in the Green Cloud Sect.

The little Qilin nodded, “Within ten feet only.”

Just as expected.

Fortunately, he asked for clarification, otherwise, if the theft failed, it would alert the other side.

So, Jiang Fan picked up an empty bag and slung it over his waist, “Hide inside.”

“Later I will find a way to get within ten feet of that jade box.”

“You steal the jade token inside it for me.”

The little Qilin immediately obediently crawled into the bag, “Master, rest assured, leave it to me!”

The Sect Master Hall.

Liu Wuchen’s face was green with anger!

“Tie Bubai, you’re too presumptuous!”

Tie Bubai was over sixty years old.

Bulky and rugged, his whole body exuded a wild aura like steel.

But despite being such a big and burly man, he gave off a very cunning and calculating impression.

He sat with his legs crossed, looking pleased and relaxed.

Listening to Liu Wuchen’s rebuke.

He extended a finger with a smirk and flicked the jade box, grinning, “Sect Master Liu, mind your tone!”

Liu Wuchen was furious!

A mere elder dared to speak to him that way?

It was outrageous!

But looking at the jade box on the other man’s lap, he suppressed his anger and said resolutely, “Hand over Jiang Fan? Impossible!”

Even though he didn’t like Jiang Fan.

Morally speaking, Jiang Fan injured Kong Wushuang for the sect’s honor.

Emotionally, he was his disciple.

There was no way he would hand him over to the Giant Sect for punishment!

Tie Bubai squinted his eyes and said, “Oh? So, the Green Cloud Sect wants to taste the power of the Nascent Soul Jade Token?”

Liu Wuchen’s face remained cold as he replied, “You can try if you want!”

“If I die, at least you won’t leave the Green Cloud Sect alive!”

Tie Bubai’s eyelid twitched.

The Nascent Soul Jade Token’s intimidating power was far greater than its actual use.

If it couldn’t intimidate the other party, its effectiveness would be greatly reduced.

But even if Liu Wuchen wasn’t afraid, weren’t the other elders?

Tie Bubai glanced around at the solemn-faced elders, and slowly said, “Who said I must use it on Sect Master Liu?”

“I could use it on your Great Elder, or your Medicine Peak Master, or even your Supreme Elder.”

“In any case, with this jade token, I can kill whoever I want!”

“Don’t desire death? Hand over Jiang Fan to the Giant Sect!”

Upon hearing this.

The elders’ eyelids twitched, each of them feeling an immense threat.

Feng Guchan slammed the table and roared, “Sect Master! Are you going to risk the lives of all our sect elders for one useless person?”

“The trouble Jiang Fan caused, he should bear the consequences!”

Liu Wuchen flared up immediately.

He rebuked, “How dare you say that?”

“Why did you not bid for the last Nascent Soul Jade Token?”

“Could our Green Cloud Sect not afford the two million crystal stones?”

Feng Guchan fell silent, feeling guilty.

If not for his selfish desires, the Green Cloud Sect would not be in this neck-cutting dilemma.

Tie Bubai’s lips curled slightly, his tone relaxed, “Of course, I, Tie Bubai, am not unreasonable.”

“If you truly don’t want to hand over Jiang Fan, then pay a compensation of five hundred thousand crystal stones.”

This was his real intention.

Whether or not they handed over Jiang Fan wasn’t important.

He knew well that Kong Wushuang’s coma had nothing to do with Jiang Fan.

What mattered was establishing dominance and extorting a hefty sum.

Liu Wuchen was outraged, “Are you joking? Five hundred thousand crystal stones?”

To the Green Cloud Sect, five hundred thousand was an astronomical sum!

And it was extortion on top of that!

Who could swallow this humiliation?

The other elders also glared angrily, firmly refusing to yield.

Tie Bubai flicked the jade box again, his tone easy, “Five hundred thousand crystal stones or Jiang Fan, choose one!”

“It’s your decision!”

The hall fell silent.

They began deliberating.

But, suddenly a clear voice came from outside the hall.

“No need to choose.”

“I am here!”
