Chapter 285: Chapter 285 The Frenzied Desires Sect Master

In an instant!

It was like a fierce tiger roaring beside the ear.

The terrifying sound wave that made one’s soul tremble suddenly rang out!

The extremely powerful handprint was instantly shattered by the tiger-like sound of the zither.

And, as Jiang Fan’s ten fingers quickly played the strings,

in an instant, it was as if hundreds of tigers were descending from the mountains, creating a terrifying momentum!

...

The ground beneath their feet, centered around him, began to crack in all directions, forming human-high fissures!

The marble tiles on the ground shattered and flew up, crashing down in all directions.

The walls were battered, and the glazed tiles on the roof were pierced through.

Unprepared, Elder Ling was struck by a large piece of broken bricks and stones.

He swept them away while quickly retreating out of the great hall.

By the time he retreated outside the hall, though unharmed, he was covered in dust.

Rather disheveled.

Ji Ruyue, hiding under a distant stone tablet, covered her mouth and giggled.

Serves you right for not listening when you were told to run!

Ha!

The scene in the hall changed drastically.

Yue Mingzhu first sensed the anomaly of the cultivation technique and exclaimed in shock, “Earth-level mid-grade technique!!”

She hurriedly performed a few more palm techniques.

But amidst the increasingly rapid zither sound, she couldn’t get close to Jiang Fan.

On the contrary, she was forced to retreat step by step.

Seeing her Sect Master Hall beginning to tremble,

she hurriedly shouted, “Enough! Stop!”

Jiang Fan smoothed the zither strings, solemnly put it into a wooden box, then stood up and cupped his hands:

“Sect Master, were you holding back?”

It shouldn’t be like this!

Not long ago, Gong Caiyi stood still and he couldn’t do anything to her.

There’s no reason he could be on par with the Desires Sect Master, who suppresses her realm.

“Hold back my foot!”

Yue Mingzhu, looking at the devastated Sect Master Hall, which was almost shattered by the zither sound, turned pale with rage.

She thought viciously in her heart.

How could an outer sect disciple’s sound wave technique be stronger than the Heavenly Sound Sect?

Is there any justice left?

At this time,

seeing the battle subside, Elder Ling and Ji Ruyue returned.

Looking at the ruined hall, they couldn’t help but gasp.

This destructive power was truly terrifying!

Elder Ling looked at the two and hesitantly asked, “What’s the result of the sparring?”

Jiang Fan laughed and said, “Of course, the Sect Master went easy on me.”

No matter what, the other party was the Sect Master. If she had gone all out, he couldn’t have withstood even a move or two.

So, with a humble attitude, he said, “I was lacking in many areas just now.”

“Please, Sect Master, give me some pointers.”

He wanted to see where he needed to improve in the eyes of the Desires Sect Master.

Lacking?

Yue Mingzhu got furious upon hearing this.

You almost collapsed my Sect Master Hall with your lack!?

If you were sufficient, would you tear down the Desires Sect?

“You’re already good enough. I can’t give you any pointers!” Yue Mingzhu said with a stern face.

She did want to teach Jiang Fan a lesson!

But Jiang Fan’s performance would make any sect master drop their jaw.

There’s nothing to criticize about.

If there is one thing to criticize, it would be that Jiang Fan had too many hidden methods. They overwhelmed her.

She suspected that Jiang Fan had even more powerful means that he hadn’t shown!

Elder Ling was dumbfounded.

She couldn’t understand how a sect master trying to educate a little disciple turned into such a mess.

What went wrong at which point?

Ji Ruyue stood silently aside, her face turned away, hiding a smile she couldn’t suppress.

Singing in her heart, “You should have been careful, you should have been careful, but you didn’t listen!”

“Now look what happened? You couldn’t educate Jiang Fan and instead got a lesson from him.”

Jiang Fan looked slightly embarrassed.

He thought he had destroyed the great hall and angered the Desires Sect Master.

He cupped his hands and said, “I will fully compensate for the hall’s damages.”

“Please don’t be angry, Sect Master.”

Yue Mingzhu, full of anger, glared at him and said:

“Do you think I’m angry about the hall’s damages?”

“Do you think I’m that petty?”

Uh—

Jiang Fan was puzzled, “Then why is the Sect Master angry?”

Of course, she’s angry because she couldn’t teach you a lesson!

Yue Mingzhu bit her silver teeth and thought in her heart.

But she muttered, “That’s none of your business!”

Jiang Fan touched his nose, wondering why the Sect Master acted like a little girl.

Somewhat similar to Yue Mingzhu.

He shook his head. Since the mission was handed over and he met the Sect Master,

all that remained was to take a new task.

“Sect Master, may I ask if there are any tasks that need the help of an outer sect disciple?”

“Though I’m not very talented, I can take on some primary-level tasks.”

“No! Not a single one!”

Yue Mingzhu replied firmly.

Jiang Fan was speechless.

This Sect Master truly had a stubborn personality!

It’s just a ruined great hall!

So resentful!

Since it was like this, he saw no reason to stay any longer and cupped his hands:

“Then I take my leave.”

With that, he turned and left.

“Who gave you permission to leave?”

To Jiang Fan’s surprise, Yue Mingzhu crossed her arms over her chest and said:

“From now on, you’re not going anywhere.”

“You will stay in the Desires Sect!”

Having witnessed Jiang Fan’s deeper strength, she was even more unwilling to let him leave.

Damn!

Jiang Fan was stunned. Was this like throwing a meat bun to a dog and not getting it back?

He immediately said seriously, “Sect Master, this is not a joke!”

Yue Mingzhu’s expression turned serious, “I’m not joking with you.”

“I have taken a liking to you. From now on, stay in the Desires Sect.”

“Choose an elder as your master.”

“Of course, if you want to be under my tutelage, I can make an exception and take you as my only disciple.”

“As for Green Cloud Sect, I will give them an explanation.”

Realizing the Desires Sect Master was serious,

Jiang Fan’s expression changed slightly, “Forgive me, but I cannot comply.”

If he were to change allegiance, wouldn’t it be better to go under Gong Caiyi?

In reality, Green Cloud Sect had too many of his affections.

Yue Mingzhu chuckled, “I didn’t ask for your opinion.”

“You have no choice in this matter!”

Jiang Fan knew there was no way out.

He glanced at the door and decisively shot towards it.

Yue Mingzhu, looking composed, showed a playful expression, “Do you think you can run away from me?”

She waved her sleeve.

An immense spiritual power struck the two massive stone doors from afar.

With a bang, the thousand-jin stone doors slammed shut.

The exit was blocked.

Jiang Fan gritted his teeth, activated spiritual power under his feet, and leaped directly onto the wall, rushing towards the ten-zhang-high roof.

The zither sound had collapsed a large part of the roof just now.

It was completely possible to rush out.

But, halfway through,

Yue Mingzhu laughed like a silver bell, “I’ve anticipated your move.”

She flicked her jade fingers.

From her sleeve came countless threads, as clear as silkworm silk, covering the entire roof.

Like a spider web.

Jiang Fan drew out the Black Sword and slashed, only to find in shock—

the threads were not cut.

His Black Sword even had a chipped edge.

“How could this be?” Jiang Fan was surprised.

This Black Sword was a mid-grade magical artifact.

Moreover, it had been nurtured on the Heavenly Sword Peak for years.

It should be extremely tough.

Yet, it was chipped by a thread!

Yue Mingzhu sat back in the Sect Master’s seat, resting her chin in her hands, her eyes curved into crescents:

“This is my lifebound magical treasure, Heavenly Mountain Silk.”

“Indestructible, impervious to water and fire.”

“And extremely sharp, capable of cutting even high-grade magical artifacts, so that Black Sword in your hand doesn’t stand a chance.”

Jiang Fan’s face turned serious.

The strength the Desires Sect Master displayed just now was merely the tip of the iceberg!

The true background was incredibly fearsome.

However, if the Black Sword couldn’t cut through,

then the Purple Sword, which was at the spiritual artifact level, should have no problem.

Seeing Jiang Fan deep in thought, Yue Mingzhu coaxed, “Come on.”

“Join the Desires Sect. In the past decade or so, I have never cared so much for a disciple.”

“You are the only one.”

What she said was sincere.

However, it wasn’t just because of Jiang Fan’s talents.

Jiang Fan’s character and virtues were very much to her liking.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t go to such lengths.

Jiang Fan shook his head and said, “I appreciate the Sect Master’s kindness.”

“We’ll see about it in the future!”

“Farewell!”

With that,

he decisively drew the Purple Sword, shattering the cloth on it.

Then slashed at the silk threads.
