Chapter 1622 - 1660: Tianluo and Wan Yun Sage (Sixth Update)

Turning his head, he saw a hunched old man in a Hundred Patched Robe.

Short, shriveled, with wrinkled, aged skin, exuding a reeking smell as if unbathed for ages.

At first glance, one might think he was a beggar.

However, Jiang Fan didn’t think that someone who could silently approach within three feet of him without a Divine Ring would be a beggar.

He could only be one type of person.

A Sage!

Jiang Fan immediately felt extremely alert!

The Jiangshan First-class Building Owner had told him that a Sage was asking around about him, searching for the "Prison Suppressing Soul Scripture".

When the State-level Teleportation Array was connected, whoever rushed over impatiently was most likely the Asura Saint Son!

He instinctively wanted to step back, but then reconsidered; what difference would a few steps make to a Sage?

Moreover, if this person were the Asura Saint Son, he wouldn’t act in public if he wanted to maintain his cover.

His heart, which had been pounding moments ago, calmed down, and he spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly:

"Junior Jiang Fan greets the Sage elder."

The hunched old man chuckled, "Quick to react, aren’t you? You guessed my identity immediately."

"Where’s your Divine Ring? Reveal it for me to see."

"I want to see what Ancestor Dao is worth the Ancient Saint proclaiming to the world."

Jiang Fan had already donned the angel’s bone, hiding the Divine Ring at the back of his head.

Upon hearing the Sage’s request, Jiang Fan frowned slightly.

The demand wasn’t unreasonable, just somewhat imperious and disrespectful.

He said flatly, "It’s inconvenient, I ask for the elder’s understanding."

The old man laughed, "Quite bold, aren’t you? Talking to an old man like me this way, there aren’t many in Central Earth who do!"

The invisible aura of the Sage slowly emanated.

The Divinity Transformation Venerables present suddenly found breathing difficult, their bodies trembling.

Even a mere hint of a Sage’s aura was intolerable for Divinity Transformation Venerables.

Yet, Jiang Fan stood unaffected as if nothing was happening.

A multicolored glow from his Divinity Transformation enveloped his body, quietly withstanding the pressure from the Virtuous Realm.

Seeing this, Jiang Fan felt a sense of reassurance, speaking neither humbly nor arrogantly:

"Seeing a Sage without ceremony is specially allowed by the Ancient Saint."

"If I am disrespectful, I ask for the elder’s understanding."

The old man recalled the proclamation of the Ancient Saint.

See a Sage without bowing; meet a Saint without worship!

This was a privilege granted by the Ancient Saint!

The old man laughed angrily, "Using the Ancient Saint to pressure me!"

"Fine, you’ve got guts!"

He retracted his aura and snorted lightly, "I heard you have a ’Prison Suppressing Soul Scripture,’ show it to me!"

This guy was indeed after the ’Prison Suppressing Soul Scripture.’

If he’s so anxious, there’s a ninety percent chance he’s the Asura Saint Son!

Seeing this, Xingyuan Venerable hurried forward, "Tianluo elder, please don’t make things difficult for Starfire Venerable."

"He’s just a junior, if his words are offensive, I beg your pardon on his behalf."

The old man before him was one of the few Sages residing in Central Earth.

Tianluo Sage.

He glanced at Xingyuan Venerable, and Xingyuan Venerable’s paper avatar was instantly sent flying, cracks appearing all over.

"It’s not your place to intervene when I speak."

His gaze returned to Jiang Fan.

"Tianluo elder, can I intervene then?"

A fragrant scent accompanied Ice Heart Venerate’s graceful silhouette as she stepped in front of Jiang Fan.

Seeing it was her, Tianluo Sage hesitated.

He seemed to have some reservations about her.

At this moment.

From the depths of the sky came a clear and cheerful voice:

"Tianluo, bullying juniors again?"

In the next instant, beside Ice Heart Venerate, a young man in a moon-white robe appeared with a swish.

He wore a jade hairpin, a jewel-encrusted belt, and new white shoes.

His features were sharp and handsome, with flawless fairness.

A jade Ruyi in hand.

He exuded an image of a noble and unparalleled gentleman.

Most strikingly, he lacked a Divine Ring behind him.

"If I were bullying him, could this brat still be standing well?"

Tianluo Sage clasped his hands behind his back with a snort, clearly displeased with the young Sage’s interference:

"You didn’t appear sooner or later, only when this Ice Heart girl showed up."

"Tsk tsk, at your age, still pining after the young girl?"

"Aren’t you embarrassed?"

The young Sage shook his head helplessly, "Say what you will."

"With a great battle looming, don’t stir up trouble. Starfire is a junior the Ancient Saint is particularly fond of; you’d do well to consider."

"If anything happens to him, you’ll regret it once that Ancient Saint comes for you."

Tianluo Sage’s face twitched.

The temperament of that Ancient Saint was notoriously bad.

The last one who provoked her had to run around the Nine States naked.

With that thought, he quickly dismissed the idea and said to Jiang Fan:

"Alright, just joking with you, don’t take it seriously!"

"Take this, and don’t go blabbering everywhere!"

He reached into his armpit and pulled out a ball of mud, tossing it to Jiang Fan.

Oh, geez!

Jiang Fan dodged it with disdain.

Only after sensing the Law power within did he react and hurriedly caught it with a Jade Box.

Tianluo Sage chuckled angrily, "Others might want it, but old me wouldn’t give it to them."

"And yet you disdain it!"

"You ungrateful brat! Humph!"

With a snort, he glanced at Jiang Fan and vanished without a trace.

Holding the Jade Box, Jiang Fan curiously sensed the Laws within the mud ball.

Ice Heart Venerate beside him looked resentful, "This stingy old man actually gave you a Law?"

"He wouldn’t even give it to me when I asked!"

"You should share it with me, without the Holy Spirit State speaking up, he wouldn’t have spared you."

She stretched out her small hand in front of Jiang Fan.

Jiang Fan rolled his eyes at her, "If I am to thank someone, it would be the Sage elder."

Tianluo Sage was clearly afraid of the Ancient Saint, which is why he gave Jiang Fan hush money!

It had nothing to do with Ice Heart Venerate.

However, her standing up for him when trouble arose did take him by pleasant surprise.

Ice Heart Venerate lightly huffed, "If you won’t give me a Law, do you at least have a Wish Paper? Give me one."

Wish Paper?

Jiang Fan understood.

The Vast Energy here was so rich that with Wish Paper, one could make the grandest wishes within its bearing capacity.

During the grand battle, it could serve as protection and a way to counter enemies.

This girl wasn’t foolish.

He hesitated because he only had one Wish Paper left.

The young Sage smiled wryly, "Bingxin, if you want Wish Paper, just ask me. I’ll get you a few."

Ice Heart Venerate, however, gazed at Jiang Fan wistfully, "No, I just want his!"

She wasn’t interested in Wish Papers from elsewhere.

She simply wanted to see Jiang Fan’s pained expression.

Jiang Fan was speechless, wondering why she was determined to go against him, but considering she indeed helped him, he took out the Wish Paper.

He already had plenty of Magical Treasures, one more or less Wish Paper wouldn’t make a difference.

"Here, take it." Jiang Fan sighed, tossing it to her.

Ice Heart Venerate caught it at once, feeling satisfied as she looked at Jiang Fan’s unwilling expression, and said:

"During the grand battle later, if you’re about to die, come find me for rescue."

"But let’s be clear, I won’t save you for nothing; I’ll ask for something in return!"

"Humph~"

With that, she returned with light, happy steps to the Divinity Transformation Venerables of Holy Spirit State.
