Chapter 282 - 282 Meeting the Desires Sect Master

Chapter 282: Chapter 282 Meeting the Desires Sect Master Chapter 282: Chapter 282 Meeting the Desires Sect Master Everyone was astonished.

They crowded forward to look and marveled at it.

Elder Ling couldn’t help but be moved and examined it carefully: “This should be the claw of a bird.”

“And its body length is at least twenty zhang.”

“To reach such a size, it must be at least at the Core Formation Realm.”

Saying this, he looked at Jiang Fan in surprise and asked:

“Where did you get this claw?”

Yi Lianxing glanced at Sun Chaozong and said with a faint smile:

“Where else could it come from?”

...

“Of course, it was chopped off the Silver Winged Thunderbird that attacked Sun Chaozong!”

“We wouldn’t be like Sun Chaozong, getting scared out of our wits and losing two team members!”

“And we certainly wouldn’t be so proud of just barely bringing our lives back!”

She released her pent-up frustration instantly.

Qin Caihe and Chu Xingmeng also felt quite satisfied.

This guy had been mocking them all along, but now, didn’t he get his comeuppance?

“Nonsense! The bird that attacked me was incredibly powerful; you have no idea!”

“How could you possibly chop off its claw and survive?”

Sun Chaozong laughed angrily, clearly in disbelief.

Qin Caihe said dismissively: “If the bird you mentioned released lightning all over its body.”

“Then it’s the Silver Winged Thunderbird we encountered, a giant bird at the Fifth Level of Core Formation!”

“Its claw was chopped off by Junior Brother Jiang, and it was injured too!”

Yu Zijin was shocked upon hearing this.

A Silver Winged Thunderbird at the Fifth Level of Core Formation?

Injured by Jiang Fan and had its claw chopped off?

Not to mention Sun Chaozong didn’t believe it, even she, as one of their own, couldn’t believe it.

A Beast King at the Fifth Level of Core Formation, especially one that flies, even elders of our sect would struggle to deal with that.

But when she looked at the broken part of the claw, her pupils shrank.

“This claw… was indeed cut off by a sharp blade.”

Everyone turned their eyes to it and gasped.

They saw that the wound was incredibly smooth, without the slightest crack.

It was indeed cut off.

While everyone was in shock, Chu Xingmeng pulled out a large bundle of materials from the Red-Scaled Evil Flood Dragon.

“This was also killed by Senior Brother Jiang. It was very fierce.”

Elder Ling looked over and changed color again: “Another Beast King, this time an aquatic flood dragon!”

“Hiss!”

She looked at Jiang Fan with an expression of disbelief.

“How many dangers did you encounter along the way?”

“Not only did you all arrive safely, but you also kept the Thousand-mile Eagles unharmed!”

Qin Caihe said: “To be honest, these Thousand-mile Eagles were frightened and dispirited by the Silver Winged Thunderbird.”

Everyone was extremely shocked.

They had thought Sun Chaozong’s experience was impressive enough.

But now they realized that Jiang Fan’s journey was truly a remarkable feat!

When encountering a Beast King in the water, they slew the Beast King.

When encountering a fierce bird in the sky, they fought the fierce bird.

The whole journey was like a crushing sweep.

Successfully arriving at the Desires Sect!

Even the chief disciples of the Nine-Sect wouldn’t dare guarantee they could accomplish this.

Jiang Fan cupped his hands and said: “There’s an element of luck in it; just listen.”

Luck?

Who would believe that?

Did the Red-Scaled Evil Flood Dragon kill itself by bumping its head?

Did the Silver Winged Thunderbird at the Fifth Level of Core Formation break its claw by itself?

Without absolute strength, such achievements would be impossible.

Elder Ling’s eyes were full of admiration.

Although the Sect Master has some childish temper, her sharp eyes made her, as Great Elder, completely convinced.

“Young Master Jiang, do you intend to use this claw yourself or sell it?”

“If you intend to sell it, our Desires Sect can buy it.”

This material is definitely top-notch for refining a Divine Weapon.

Jiang Fan was about to speak when Yu Zijin quietly gave him a stopping gesture.

Jiang Fan understood and said: “I’m not selling it for now.”

Elder Ling showed a disappointed look and said: “Alright, then let’s go see our Sect Master first.”

Jiang Fan nodded and followed Elder Ling towards the Desires Sect.

Yu Zijin caught up and quietly whispered in his ear while Elder Ling wasn’t paying attention:

“Don’t sell it to our sect.”

“There will be a trading meet tonight, where elite disciples from various sects gather to exchange their spoils of war.”

“Go there first and see if you can exchange for something you want, then decide whether to sell or not.”

Jiang Fan’s eyes lit up.

The disciples from various sects, who had come all this way, must have gained some rewards, and some might even have had lucky encounters and found rare treasures.

Rather than selling the claw, it would be better to exchange it for his desired items.

He gave a grateful look and followed Elder Ling into the mist-shrouded Desires Sect.

Yu Zijin then returned to the sect’s entrance.

She looked at Yi Lianxing, who was organizing the carriage.

She pouted and walked over angrily, pinching her arm hard.

“Ouch! What’s wrong with you?” Yi Lianxing wasn’t prepared and cried out in pain.

Yu Zijin looked aggrieved: “I didn’t expect this from you. You always appear proud and aloof, uninterested in men.”

“But you’re better than me at finding a man!”

“Good job, Yi Lianxing!”

Yi Lianxing was both angry and amused: “Are you out of your mind?”

“How could I be worthy of Junior Brother Jiang?”

“Look at him, isn’t he surrounded by girls?”

Yu Zijin glanced at Qin Caihe and Chu Xingmeng, one classically beautiful, the other pure and lovely.

No less than Yi Lianxing.

“That’s true. A man as outstanding as him wouldn’t lack women around him.”

Then she rolled her eyes and said: “But on the other hand, I wouldn’t be too much, right?”

“Can you help me make the introductions?”

Yi Lianxing spread her hands helplessly: “You have no chance.”

“You know nothing about his popularity with women!”

“Even if he fell off a cliff, he’d still pick up an unbelievably beautiful girl.”

“I’ve already given up!”

Thinking about this, she just wanted to complain.

Yu Zijin gave her a sideways glance: “Are you telling me stories?”

Yi Lianxing snorted: “I wish it were a story.”

“But it’s true.”

“By the way, that girl is one of your sect’s female disciples.”

Huh?

Yu Zijin was surprised: “One of our sect’s disciples? What’s her name? I don’t believe such a bizarre thing.”

Yi Lianxing replied: “Her name is Yue Mingzhu.”

Yu Zijin said decisively: “She’s not one of our sect’s disciples.”

“I know every single female disciple in our Desires Sect; there’s definitely no one named Yue Mingzhu.”

Uh—

Yi Lianxing was stunned.

Qin Caihe and Chu Xingmeng also came over, looking surprised.

Qin Caihe said: “But her name is indeed Yue Mingzhu; your Chief Disciple Xie Liushu and other disciples were all present.”

Chu Xingmeng nodded repeatedly: “Yes, yes, she’s a very pretty girl, and her name sounds nice too.”

“Senior Brother Xie, Senior Sister Ji, and many Desires Sect disciples all know her.”

Uh—

Yu Zijin was dumbfounded.

She even started to doubt herself.

“Do we have a female disciple in the Desires Sect whom everyone recognizes except me?”

After thinking for a while, she mumbled: “Yue Mingzhu… Yue Mingzhu… Seems like it’s from a poem, right?”

Chu Xingmeng nodded and responded: “The bright moon in the sea has pearls, in the warm sun of Lantian there is jade smoke.”

“No wonder the name sounds so nice.”

But upon hearing the second line of the poem.

Yu Zijin’s whole body trembled.

Because the Desires Sect Master’s real name came from the second line of this poem.

She suddenly understood something and couldn’t help but break into a cold sweat for Jiang Fan, nervously saying:

“Then… then you didn’t do anything disrespectful to her, right?”

“Like being disrespectful or anything.”

Yi Lianxing replied discontentedly: “Respect her? Why?”

“She was saved by Junior Brother Jiang, but she didn’t seem very grateful.”

“Junior Brother Jiang had to lecture her.”

Qin Caihe also scoffed and said: “Honestly, we should’ve just left her at the bottom of the cliff to climb up herself.”

“Poking her in the forehead and saying a few words, she got off easy.”

Chu Xingmeng nodded her snow-white chin: “Senior Brother Jiang is indeed too kind and compassionate.”

After listening.

Yu Zijin felt the world spinning and her vision darkening.

Poking the Sect Master’s forehead and lecturing her?

It’s over!

Jiang Fan going to see the Sect Master now is completely over!
