Chapter 1516: Chapter 1551: The Great Wine Sacrifice’s Scheme

The Great Wine Sacrifice was holding a horsetail whisk and walked out of the Heartless Residence.

He smiled and said, “The wine isn’t finished yet, why rush?”

The red-faced old man replied irritably, “If I don’t leave soon, you’ll leave me here in Taicang State to be used like cattle!”

Before the Great Wine Sacrifice could catch up, he leapt away to the transmission island heading to Divine Weapon State.

As he was about to leave, he suddenly sensed something and stopped, looking around.

When he noticed the evil sword floating behind Jiang Fan, he couldn’t help but be stunned, and instantly teleported over, questioning:

“Could this have been forged from that meteorite?”

Jiang Fan had some guesses about the identity of the red-faced old man.

He quickly cupped his hands and said, “Reporting to the senior, this was crafted by seniors from Divine Weapon State.”

The red-faced old man blew his beard and glared, cursing, “A bunch of brats selling the family land without concern!”

“Took all the good stuff from Divine Weapon State while I’m not around, didn’t you?”

“Wait!”

He suddenly felt the voice was familiar.

Lowering his gaze to Jiang Fan’s face, his eyes widened again: “It’s you, little brat?”

He hadn’t forgotten how Jiang Fan had fleeced him, selling him a Yin Qi radish at a hundred times the price!

Jiang Fan laughed awkwardly: “With destiny, we meet anywhere.”

“Senior, nice to see you.”

The red-faced old man grumbled, “Who cares to be fated with you?”

“Taicang State has nothing good!”

“One little swindler, one old swindler, all the losses in my life aren’t even as much as from you two combined!”

“I’m leaving, you two better die on the battlefield; I never want to see either of you again.”

After speaking, he didn’t linger on the evil sword.

Afraid of being fleeced by Jiang Fan again, he quickly left.

As a huge beam of space light shot up, he completely left Taicang State.

Jiang Fan looked speechless: “Got scolded out of nowhere.”

“If it weren’t for him being an old bag of bones, I’d be lying on the ground right now.”

The people around twitched their mouths.

Only Jiang Fan would dare say such things.

That red-faced old man clearly was a top strongman from Divine Weapon State.

Being on equal footing with the Great Wine Sacrifice, without a Divine Ring on the back of his head.

He was very likely a sage!

“What a pity, wanted to keep him in Taicang State to help us against the Ancient Giants.”

The Great Wine Sacrifice sighed with regret and then looked around and said:

“The state-level teleportation array closes before sunset.”

“Hope everyone knows.”

Jiang Fan realized, no wonder the red-faced old man rushed to leave.

He just remembered, the Great Wine Sacrifice had mentioned that after the Ancient Giants descended, to prevent the Great State from becoming a stepping stone for the Ancient Giants.

Therefore, when the war starts, teleportation arrays in Nine States will be closed.

However.

In that case, how would the states exchange information?

While pondering, the Great Wine Sacrifice smiled at Jiang Fan, his gaze falling on the evil sword behind him, and said:

“Luckily he didn’t notice the extraordinariness of your artifact spirit.”

“Otherwise, he’d lose face and ask for the evil sword back today.”

“Originally, he intended to create a quasi-realm artifact.”

Jiang Fan secretly clicked his tongue.

Directly forging a quasi-realm artifact?

No need to guess, the red-faced old man’s strength is definitely Virtuous Realm.

Very likely, like the Compassionate Sage, due to health issues or some reasons, unable to go to the battlefield where the Heavenly Eye Sage went, he stayed in the Central Earth.

Remembering that he had swindled him before, Jiang Fan felt guilty.

He coughed dryly and changed the topic, saying: “Great Wine Sacrifice, shall we move the Connecting Sky Black Pillar now.”

Green Pearl is still in the Heavenly Realm, waiting for the Connecting Sky Black Pillar to move before daring to return.

Can’t delay any longer.

The Great Wine Sacrifice nodded lightly and said: “I will make some arrangements first.”

He surveyed the crowd and said: “You will take the teleportation array to the central region of Taicang State.”

“Gather outside the Forbidden Land of Misfortune.”

“Also, Nascent Soul Middle Stage and below, go to Commander Bai and Six-Path Masters to each receive a piece of equipment.”

As he finished speaking.

The leading figures descended, Bai Xin and Six-Path Masters.

Each holding a large space storage device.

Bai Xin waved his hand, and a series of devices extremely familiar to Jiang Fan appeared in view.

Some are giant ballistae, some are cannons, and some are chariots equipped with blades.

These, in the secret space of the Great Wall in the Boundary Mountain, Jiang Fan had seen before.

They were the tools for the Human Clan to fight the Ancient Giants a thousand years ago.

Unfortunately, those devices in the space had been eroded by time, and once leaving the space, they crumbled to dust.

Jiang Fan always wondered why Taicang State didn’t bring those devices back into service in preparation for the Ancient Giants.

It turns out, the Great Wine Sacrifice had invited a Virtuous Realm artifact refining master to create sixty years’ worth of equipment for Taicang State!

The Great Wine Sacrifice had started planning for today sixty years ago.

He seemed to do nothing but actually had everything under control, orchestrating the whole situation.

Jiang Fan suddenly felt much more confident.

These large devices have enormous kill potential against the Ancient Giants.

If each of the more than fifteen hundred Nascent Soul Early Stage martial artists had one, it could help bridge some of the strength gap with the Ancient Giants.

If not for the central tribe’s army, their odds of winning this battle would be very high.

He was somewhat looking forward to the arrangements the Great Wine Sacrifice made for the Connecting Sky Black Pillar.

Perhaps, that Forbidden Land is another great killing device against the Ancient Giants?

Once arranged, the Great Wine Sacrifice told Jiang Fan: “Let’s go ahead together.”

Others could go straight to the Forbidden Land.

But they needed to move the Connecting Sky Black Pillar first to the Forbidden Land.

Thus.

Jiang Fan bid farewell to the people of Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion and, with the Great Wine Sacrifice, transmitted to the White Horse Temple.

Then, arrived at the northwest part of the White Horse Temple.

The Connecting Sky Black Pillar was still there; last time, each village relied on the Connecting Sky Black Pillar to descend.

Thinking of this, Jiang Fan asked: “Great Wine Sacrifice, have the Asura Clan in the Heavenly Realm been well settled?”

He promised the tribes to properly settle their people.

The Great Wine Sacrifice said: “Settled on an island of Vast Sea.”

“Left them ten late-stage Nascent Soul Asura strongmen.”

“Unless Taicang State falls, they’ll be very safe.”

Jiang Fan felt relieved.

Without hesitation, he hugged the Connecting Sky Black Pillar and, under the guidance of the Great Wine Sacrifice, quickly moved to the heart of Taicang State.

Meanwhile.

In the Heavenly Realm.

Beside the Connecting Sky Black Pillar.

Green Pearl, sitting cross-legged, felt the Connecting Sky Black Pillar move and slowly opened her eyes.

She sighed, “Little liar, you’ve finally moved the Connecting Sky Black Pillar.”

“I’ve been away for so long, Five-star Giant King must have suspected me for sure.”

“With his ability to foresee the future, he’s probably figured out my whereabouts.”

“You’ll be the death of me!”

She showed a troubled expression, hesitating on whether to return.

Going back with a fluke mentality, she might be exposed by the Five-star Giant King immediately, with unpredictable consequences.

But if she doesn’t return, she still has a wisp of soul in his hands.

He can still kill her.
