Chapter 1166: Ice and Fire Demon Lord

It’s hard to refuse.

Jiang Fan could only "reluctantly" accept it.

He pretended to leave, but then thought, if he left, Shu Bu Xu would definitely come to find him for it after escaping.

Seeing Xuanyi Master unconscious beside him, a bright idea suddenly struck him.

"Xuanyi Master, my good brother isn’t here, could you please take over his work?"

Immediately, he took out the Bodhisattva Kasaya to wrap him up, and then took out chains to wrap him tightly inside and outside.

After ensuring he was wrapped tightly, he called back the Little Qilin.

The Little Qilin was carrying a Heavenly Thunder Stone in its mouth, and a Space Mirror on its back.

Jiang Fan placed the Yin Yang Fish into the Heavenly Thunder Stone and tossed Xuanyi Master into the Space Mirror.

"Hide far away, soon there might be a Venerate coming, don’t let them find you."

The Little Qilin nodded and ran off swiftly.

Everything was arranged.

Jiang Fan lay down on the ground and continued pretending to sleep.

No idea how much time passed.

The air suddenly became scorching, the ground was cracked from the heat, and the distant dead trees were burning with crackling sounds, igniting in fierce flames.

"Yes, this is it."

Shu Bu Xu wept, being carried by a middle-aged man surrounded by both icy and fiery auras, with a faint Divine Ring on the back of his head.

At this moment, he was exceptionally miserable.

The left side of his face was covered in frost, frozen tight and shriveled.

The right side was swollen and burning, looking like a pig’s head.

He underestimated the means of a Demon Venerable and overestimated his own will to resist torture.

Ice and Fire Demon Lord casually used a torment of both ice and fire.

Making Shu Bu Xu honestly reveal the whereabouts of the Yin Yang Fish.

"Hand it over," Ice and Fire Demon Lord said coldly.

Other than stealing a furnace of Ice and Fire Divine Pill, Shu Bu Xu also took a life-prolonging Magical Treasure.

After several pursuits, Shu Bu Xu always craftily escaped.

This time, he laid out a plan, waiting for Shu Bu Xu to come into the trap, finally capturing him successfully.

Shu Bu Xu approached Jiang Fan with a bitter face.

He reached into Jiang Fan’s bosom, but found nothing.

His expression suddenly froze, hurriedly pulling Jiang Fan’s clothes to search carefully.

But even stripping Jiang Fan’s clothes didn’t yield the Yin Yang Fish.

"Where... where’s my Yin Yang Fish?"

"I clearly put it on him!"

Shu Bu Xu felt like the sky was falling.

The loss of the Yin Yang Fish would cost him his life!

Ice and Fire Demon Lord squinted his eyes, a trace of cold light exploding within:

"Still trying to play tricks?"

Cold sweat appeared on Shu Bu Xu’s forehead, "No, it’s truly gone!"

"Demon Lord, wait, let me ask him!"

He hurriedly shook Jiang Fan awake, "Brother, wake up!"

Jiang Fan groggily woke up, eyes still heated, pretending to be stirred by Shu Bu Xu’s madness:

"Are we going to big score?"

Shu Bu Xu, frustrated, "What score?!"

"I’m asking you, where’s my Yin Yang Fish?"

Jiang Fan looked confused, "What Yin Yang Fish? Why ask me?"

Shu Bu Xu then realized that Jiang Fan had been unconscious earlier.

How could he know?

Just a desperate measure.

Suddenly.

He noticed Xuanyi Master was gone.

His heart skipped, "Could it be Xuanyi Master, that damned thing, took it?"

Xuanyi Master’s cultivation is higher than Jiang Fan’s.

His Soul Power is also far superior to Jiang Fan’s.

It’s entirely possible he woke up first!

He urgently told Ice and Fire Demon Lord, "Demon Lord, it’s Xuanyi Master from Sanqing Mountain!"

"For sure, he took my Yin Yang Fish Eyes!"

Ice and Fire Demon Lord gazed towards Sanqing Mountain indifferently.

Right then, the experts from Sanqing Mountain arrived.

Among them were several Eight-Orifice Nascent Souls, seeing a middle-aged man with a faint Divine Ring on the back of his head from afar, emitting astounding demonic energy.

All were startled, quickly stepping forward to salute.

Ice and Fire Demon Lord asked coldly: "Where’s Xuanyi Master?"

The leading Eight-Orifice Nascent Soul quickly replied:

"Reporting to Demon Lord, Xuanyi Master hasn’t returned since heading to the Heavenly Realm."

"No one knows his whereabouts."

Ice and Fire Demon Lord coldly looked at Shu Bu Xu.

The latter’s face turned pale, gritting his teeth:

"That damn thing ran with the treasure!"

"Demon Lord, please give me another chance, I will definitely find him."

Ice and Fire Demon Lord replied indifferently: "No need."

"I’ll find him myself."

"As for you!"

Upon these words, the icy aura on both sides of Shu Bu Xu’s face suddenly surged.

Half the face drastically collapsed, the other half expanded rapidly.

The final outcome would definitely be his head exploding!

Jiang Fan slightly raised his brows.

Shu Bu Xu, after all, is a Nine Aperture Nascent Soul, killing him like this would be a waste.

If he could be kept in Taicang State, used against Ancient Giants, his value would be much greater.

He glanced at the Sky-Burning Clam Pearl beside him.

The Sky-Burning Clam Pearl seemed to notice him, spinning in place, thinking, found Jiang Fan familiar.

With this layer of familiar relationship, Ice and Fire Demon Lord wouldn’t kill him as casually as Evil Crow Venerable, right?

Taking a slight breath, he clasped his hands and said:

"Demon Lord senior, junior Jiang Fan of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, I have met the Sky-Burning Clam Pearl."

"Junior dares to ask what Shu Bu Xu stole from you."

To make Ice and Fire Demon Lord pursue him, it could only be something Shu Bu Xu was audacious enough to steal.

If the stolen item was inside the Yin Yang Fish, then find a way to return it to Ice and Fire Demon Lord.

Spare Shu Bu Xu’s life.

Ice and Fire Demon Lord looked towards the Sky-Burning Clam Pearl in confusion.

The Clam Pearl finally remembered upon hearing Jiang Fan’s voice.

"Master, master, I remember, he’s the master of the Little Qilin!"

Ice and Fire Saint nodded slightly, "So you’re the master of that mysterious Little Spirit Beast."

He had heard the Sky-Burning Clam Pearl mention it several times.

Jiang Fan hadn’t expected the Sky-Burning Clam Pearl remembered the Little Qilin.

"It is indeed junior, didn’t expect the Sky-Burning Clam Pearl truly found Demon Venerable senior."

"Thanks to senior’s Thousand-year-old Clam Meat, junior greatly benefited."

He managed to build a little more connection.

Ice and Fire Demon Lord nodded lightly, his gaze not as cold.

"You are quite familiar with Shu Bu Xu?"

Jiang Fan shook his head, "Not familiar, he just took me to Sanqing Mountain to steal things."

Ice and Fire Demon Lord glanced sideways at Shu Bu Xu.

One look made Shu Bu Xu spit a mouthful of blood.

The frenzied aura quickly suppressed.

"Are you pleading for him?" Ice and Fire Demon Lord’s gaze also became unfriendly towards Jiang Fan.

Jiang Fan said, "Not for him, it’s for the people of Central Earth."

"Junior witnessed the strength and ferocity of Ancient Giants in the Heavenly Realm, understanding the impending catastrophe for Central Earth."

"Shu Bu Xu, being a Nine Aperture Nascent Soul with exceptional strength, is not one to kill wantonly."

"He’s among the few Nine Aperture Nascent Souls able to be thrown into battle."

"Rather than kill him now, let him die on the battlefield."

Ice and Fire Demon Lord’s gaze softened again.

Being a survivor from a thousand years ago when Ancient Giants descended, his hatred towards them exceeded that of contemporary Venerables.

Hearing Jiang Fan plead for the sake of fighting Ancient Giants.

He naturally wouldn’t refuse his request.

"Alright, let him stay in Taicang State, to fight the Ancient Giants for you."

"Also, he’s getting close to mastering theft, just a few more great thefts and he might reach Divinity Transformation."

Jiang Fan was surprised.

No wonder Shu Bu Xu could even steal something from Ice and Fire Demon Lord.

Already close to Divinity.

"Thank you, senior, for sparing humanity!" Jiang Fan clasped his hands.

Ice and Fire Demon Lord said, "No need to thank."

"If he commits great thefts, it’s bound to harm your Taicang State."

"Be sure of your own decisions."

Jiang Fan, however, smiled mysteriously.

Already had a plan, said:

"Rest assured, senior, I will send him to a good place."

"One that’s both dangerous and exciting, without harming Central Earth."
