The crowd also sensed the arrival of a Nascent Soul Expert.
Jiang Fan flew out first, fixed his eyes, and his eyebrows slightly raised.
He had already guessed the other partyās intention, to take back True Word Venerable.
"Jiang Fan, where is my Master?"
Chen Jing called out the moment he saw Jiang Fan.
Jiang Fan frowned slightly.
A disciple came to take back his Master, Jiang Fan had no reason to refuse.
But, what kind of attitude was this?
It sounded as if he had kidnapped True Word Venerable.
"Are you here to fetch your Master or to show off your power at the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion?"
Jiang Fan said indifferently.
The last time right after his tribulation, he managed to fight Chen Jing to a draw with one strike of Undying Blade.
Now, he was no longer the same, how could he fear the other party again?
The several Nascent Soul Realm members of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion flew out one after the other.
He was at the Three Apertures Nascent Soul, Fairy Yun Shang had also reached the Three Apertures Realm, Slave Heart Demon Emperor, Yue Mingzhu, and Liu Qingxian, as well as Hua Wuying, those who had come to repay debts, had all reached the Second Aperture Realm.
Besides them, there were several Martial Artists like Xia Chaoge, Liang Feiyan, and Chuyue who had reached the One-Orifice Nascent Soul.
They stood behind Jiang Fan, forming a formidable force not to be underestimated.
Chen Jingās face changed slightly.
A bit surprised.
Was this still the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion he knew?
Wasnāt Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion supposed to have only one Pavilion Master at the One-Orifice Nascent Soul Realm?
What is happening now?
Nascent Soul Experts seemed to spring up like mushrooms after the rain.
Even his sister, Nangong Xiaoyun, who refused to return with him, had a hint of tribulation aura on her.
Which indicated that she at least attempted to cross tribulation, though unsuccessfully.
How long had Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion been in Taicang State, as if it transformed into a different sect altogether?
How could he know that Jiang Fan had imprisoned Xuanxing Shangren and obtained his Space Storage Device.
Inside it were a bottle of Sky Ascending Pills, a total of ten.
Several people had thus gained the opportunity to cross tribulation.
However, not many succeeded.
Seeing the situation, Chen Jing suppressed some of his momentum and said:
"Is my Master at your sect?"
Jiang Fan glanced sideways at him, then turned back and said, "Yun Shang, bring out True Word Venerable."
Fairy Yun Shang gracefully left.
Before long, she returned, escorting a woman dressed in the same snow-white clothes, with an equally graceful demeanor.
The two of them had outstanding appearances, walking through the clouds like fairy twins descending to the mortal world.
"Master!" Chen Jing showed a gleeful expression, but soon his face froze:
"Master, where is your Divine Ring?"
The unique Divine Ring of a Venerable, why is it missing?
Moreover, the look in True Word Venerableās eyes bore a touch of confusion, as if feeling some familiarity.
Clearly, her mental state was off.
He was anxious and shouted angrily, "Jiang Fan, what did you do to my Master?"
Jiang Fan furrowed his brows: "Use your pig brain, what realm and strength do I have that could turn a Venerable into this?"
He really couldnāt understand why True Word Venerableās choice of disciple was so poor.
Even if the talent wasnāt top-notch, why was the temperament so deplorably bad?
Even worse than that Zong Chaosheng!
Fairy Yun Shang knew the two were at odds and wished to avoid them clashing.
She explained, "Chen Jing, True Word Venerable fell into a predicament in the Heavenly Realm and turned into a fireball, crashing onto Jiang Fan."
"Not only was she burned beyond recognition, her Divine Ring disappeared, and she lost her memory."
"Jiang Fan, unaware, brought her back to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion."
"Since youāre here, you may take your Master back."
Honestly, she felt a bit reluctant.
No matter what, True Word Venerable was a powerhouse at the Divinity Transformation Realm.
If she could stay in the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, she would be a great help when the Ancient Giants descend.
But since her disciple came looking for her, what reason was there not to return her?
Seeing that the other party was not making things difficult, Chen Jing finally calmed his anger.
He snorted at Jiang Fan and flew in front of True Word Venerable, saying: "Master, your disciple is here to take you."
"Come back with me."
He reached out to grab True Word Venerableās wrist, wanting to lead her away.
But, True Word Venerable stepped aside from him, vigilance in her eyes: "Iām not going anywhere."
She dodged to Jiang Fanās side, holding onto his arm, pressing closely against him:
"I only want to be with Jiang Lang."
Chen Jingās expression froze, he looked incredulously at the scene before him.
The pure and beautiful Master in his heart, one whom he dared not desecrate.
Was actually, actually holding onto Jiang Fanās arm?
Even using terms of endearment typically used between lovers?
His mind roared, indescribable emotions surged within him, he shouted angrily:
"Jiang Fan, let go of my Master!"
Jiang Fan, feeling helpless, turned to True Word Venerable and said: "Senior, let go of me."
"Go back with your disciple."
True Word Venerable held onto Jiang Fanās arm even tighter, imitating Fairy Yun Shang, placing her head on his shoulder:
"No."
"I only want Jiang Lang."
Jiang Fan tried to shake her off, but she clung to him tightly.
He couldnāt shake her off no matter what.
Jiang Fan exclaimed, "Chen Jing, you see for yourself."
"Your Master insists on clinging to me, I canāt do anything."
"If you can take her away, Iād be more than happy."
This petty-minded Venerable, itād be better to send her away early.
Being together every day like this, if an accident happens between them one day, she would definitely slaughter him once she wakes up.
Chen Jing, consumed by anger, reached out toward True Word Venerableās hand, saying heavily:
"Master, wake up!"
"Donāt you remember me? I am your disciple, Nangong Liuyun!"
True Word Venerable avoided his hand, frowning, said: "Move away!"
With one word, she sent Chen Jing staggering backward, almost falling to the ground.
He couldnāt even touch True Word Venerable, let alone take her away.
Chen Jing was a mix of shame and anger.
He stood frozen, not knowing what to do.
It wasnāt that Jiang Fan was stopping him, Jiang Fan even requested him to take her away, yet he was powerless!
Just then.
A raspy laugh echoed.
"It seems True Word Venerable is quite injured. Let me take her back to treat her."
In mid-air, Evil Crow Venerableās silhouette emerged suddenly.
Half of his face covered with a crow tattoo, displaying blatant desire.
He had anticipated True Word Venerableās poor state, but never thought sheād also lost her memory!
Things couldnāt be better!
If he forcefully seized her, thereād be no worry of future trouble when she recovers!
Chen Jingās pupils contracted, suddenly realizing Evil Crow Venerable had followed him, exclaimed in shock and fury:
"Evil Crow Venerable, you followed me?"
Evil Crow Venerable chuckled: "Donāt speak so harshly, I just want to take good care of your Master."
"Moreover, even with your Master right in front, you couldnāt take her."
"Thankfully, I came, didnāt I?"
He looked down at Jiang Fan, who was being tightly held by True Word Venerable.
Squinting his eyes: "Itās you again!"
"True Word Venerable, do you think someone like you can touch her?"
"Move aside."
Jiang Fan coldly glanced at Chen Jing, "Look at what youāve done!"
Chen Jing grit his teeth: "I didnāt do it on purpose, is it wrong to care about my Masterās safety?"
"Who knew heād secretly follow me?"
Jiang Fan irritably stated, "Why didnāt you think, the more unknown your Masterās whereabouts, the harder it is for Evil Crow Venerable to find her, and the safer she is?"
"And here you go, directly delivering your Master to Evil Crow Venerable!"
"How are you going to end this?"
How could Chen Jing admit his mistake?
And be criticized by Jiang Fan in public?
He roared angrily: "Itās all because of you!"
"If you had sent back my Master earlier, would this have happened?"
