Chapter 444 - 444 444 Beast King Tide Strikes

Chapter 444: Chapter 444: Beast King Tide Strikes Chapter 444: Chapter 444: Beast King Tide Strikes Jiang Fan was surprised.

His mind swiftly turned.

“The Iron Blood True Scripture comes from here.”

“Could there be some hidden connection between the scale and the Iron Blood True Scripture?”

He realized.

This scale was not just extraordinary on the surface.

“What is this? Let me have a look!”

Fan Xingkong’s old eyes burned as he stared at the scale.

Jiang Fan gripped the scale tightly, quietly staring back at him.

“I just want to have a look. Do you think I would snatch something from a junior?”

Fan Xingkong snorted heavily, his face showing an expression that brooked no argument.

A look?

If it wasn’t valuable, it wouldn’t matter.

If it was valuable, once it was in Fan Xingkong’s hands, how could it be given back to Jiang Fan?

Jiang Fan’s eyes flickered, his face showing a contemplative expression.

Fan Xingkong grew impatient, narrowing his eyes: “Something unearthed in the Holy Land of the Giant Sect.”

“Without my examination, even if it’s just a stone, you can’t take it away!”

As expected, the Giant Sect had no credibility at all.

Obviously, with this token, anything Jiang Fan dug up within a day should belong to him.

But now, there was a blatant threat.

No outside chance to take precious treasures.

After saying this, Fan Xingkong’s eyes showed a hint of ruthlessness.

At this moment, Jiang Fan smiled slightly, casually tossing the scale over.

“It’s just a scale.”

“If your sect can’t bear to part with it, then take it.”

“I don’t even want it.”

Fan Xingkong grabbed the scale, his face slightly relaxed.

Immediately, he closely inspected it.

Apart from being hard and slightly toxic, there was nothing special about it.

There were no cultivation technique inscriptions, nor were there any hidden rune messages.

Just an ordinary scale.

He couldn’t help but wonder: “Since it’s such an ordinary item, why keep it in a black box?”

“And why bury it so deep?”

“The Iron Blood True Scripture wasn’t even buried this deep.”

Unwilling, he used various secret techniques to try.

Burning, soaking, using Spiritual Liquid, and even found a Dual Cultivation disciple to infuse Spiritual Power.

None of it worked.

The scale showed no changes.

“It really is just an ordinary scale!” Fan Xingkong confirmed thoroughly.

Let out a long sigh.

Jiang Fan chuckled: “Since it’s an ordinary scale, your sect should keep it well.”

“I will advise other sect disciples not to trust the Giant Sect’s promises.”

“Even the Sect Master’s promises should be taken as nothing.”

“Otherwise, they’ll end up like me, wasting efforts.”

With that, he flicked his sleeve and leaped out of the pit.

Fan Xingkong’s face turned blue and red.

If it was valuable, sacrificing fame to keep it would be worth it.

But to ruin the Giant Sect’s Sect Master’s reputation for a worthless scale was not worth it.

He jumped up to follow and hummed: “What are you talking about?”

“I merely helped you examine it, when did I say I wanted to keep it?”

“Take it back!”

With a flick of his fingers, he sent the scale flying back.

Jiang Fan, thinking for a moment, pretended to reluctantly catch it.

But inside, he was secretly pleased.

Dealing with an old monster like this, one had to play psychological games.

The more Jiang Fan cared, the more the other would believe the scale held secrets and would not return it easily.

The more he pretended not to care, the other would drop their guard instead.

See, the scale was returned?

And as soon as he held it, the Iron Blood True Scripture activated again, triggering his Dragon Elephant Battle Body.

A high-pitched roaring sound came from within his body.

As if longing for something.

Soon after.

The scale began to move on its own.

Like a compass, it spun in his palm.

Finally pointing to the bottom of the cliff where the waste was dumped.

Jiang Fan’s heart jolted: “Could there be a treasure beneath the cliff?”

This scale was not only buried deeply, but needed the Iron Blood True Scripture to activate, and its purpose was just to guide.

The conditions were designed to be so stringent.

One could only imagine, the treasure it pointed to, how astonishing it must be!

The problem was.

He had just discovered a scale, and Fan Xingkong had to forcibly check it.

If he really dug up that treasure, how could it end up in Jiang Fan’s hands?

Moreover.

Jiang Fan pinpointing an extremely deep-buried treasure, even a fool would guess he had some treasure-detecting ability.

In the next day.

His actions would be closely monitored.

The moment he started digging, Fan Xingkong would send people to seize the ground.

His eyes flashed slightly.

Jiang Fan quietly put away the scale.

Seemingly looking for something, he casually chose a spot, just lifted a shovel to start digging.

Fan Xingkong narrowed his eyes, immediately called over two Giant Sect disciples passing by:

“You two, help him dig.”

“Guests should not tire themselves.”

Two disciples immediately dropped their work, ran to start digging around Jiang Fan.

Sure enough.

Jiang Fan was being watched.

After digging three or four feet, Jiang Fan gave up, choosing another spot to dig.

Fan Xingkong called more disciples to dig nearby.

Thus.

This went on for more than half a day.

No matter where Jiang Fan chose, Fan Xingkong would find an excuse to have disciples help him dig.

This way, if they dug up anything.

Fan Xingkong could easily claim it was the Giant Sect disciples who found it, and had nothing to do with Jiang Fan.

“This is troublesome.” Jiang Fan thought quietly.

It was impossible to dig up the spot indicated by the scale today.

Otherwise, it would be giving Fan Xingkong the achievement.

He could only find another opportunity to sneak here and dig later.

Suddenly.

Jiang Fan suddenly raised his hand to grip the hilt of the sword on his back.

Narrowing his eyes to stare at the ground beneath him.

The gravel on the ground shook unexpectedly.

Then again, and again…

Soon, the entire mountaintop began to shake.

Fan Xingkong’s eyes shone as he glanced at the sky.

A row of moving mountains, kicking up snow, charged toward No Return Mountain.

Fan Xingkong’s face changed color, shouting: “All disciples and deacons, gather at the mountaintop!”

“There are demon beasts attacking!”

His expression turned grave.

This place wasn’t far from the front line of the Beast Tide, occasionally some stray demon beasts wandered here.

The weak ones he easily killed.

The stronger ones ran away as soon as he made a move.

But now, there were more than a dozen, each one more powerful than the Fourth Layer of Core Formation.

Even the strongest among them, almost as strong as him!

What shocked Fan Xingkong most.

They had a purpose, heading straight for No Return Mountain!

Rustling—

The Giant Sect disciples, also noticing the anomaly, gathered uneasily around Fan Xingkong.

Staring at the imposing Beast King horde, hearts pounding.

Jiang Fan’s face also changed slightly.

He immediately retreated, intending to stay away from trouble.

“Young Master Jiang, since you are here, please lend a hand to our Giant Sect!”

Fan Xingkong noticed Jiang Fan’s movement, his mouth twitching.

This little brat, running really fast!

He immediately called out to him.

Jiang Fan replied without hesitation:

“This junior is weak, staying here would only add to Elder Fan’s troubles.”

“I’ll keep my distance, so Elder Fan can fight without restraint.”

Expect him to help the Giant Sect fight Beast King Tide?

What a nerve!
