Hua Xin stared fearfully at the little whip, her head shaking like a rattle-drum: "Iâm not running, not running, I so am not running."
A treasure personally gifted by an Asura Empress, how could that possibly be fake?
She had zero intention of suffering for nothing.
Jiang Fan pursed his lips in disappointment. Heâd been wanting to test out the little whipâs power.
The Asura Empress was also quite disappointed, snorting: "The farther this whip is from you, the heavier its damage."
"If youâd just now run far away, chances are youâd already be dead under this whip."
So sheâd been hiding one last bit of info.
Hua Xin blew her top: "You vicious old hag!"
The Asura Empress shot right back: "In terms of age, Iâm not necessarily older than you!"
Even through the Angelâs body, she could feel how extraordinary Hua Xinâs remnant soul wasâquite possibly the remnant soul of some Sage.
Seeing the two women about to start a spitting war over their ages, Jiang Fan hurriedly shoved the Asura Empress back into the Space Mirror and tied her up.
As for Hua Xin...
When he looked over, he saw Hua Xin take out a lounge chair and set it right in front of the Abyss.
She stretched lazily, lay down in comfort, then pulled out a book and a Yin Qi radish.
Gnawing on the radish while reading the book.
Her mouth mumbled unclearly as she read aloud: "If life rapes you, and you canât resist, then learn to enjoy it."
Pfftâ
Jiang Fan almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. Whoâs planning to rape Hua Xin?
And sheâs been reading this kind of degenerate book the whole time?
Still, he didnât dare let his guard down.
This woman Hua Xin had way too many tricks up her sleeve.
She only looked meek now because she couldnât escape. Once she got the chance, sheâd definitely pounce on Jiang Fan and bite him viciously.
But that was betterâat least she had some self-awareness, and that saved Jiang Fan a lot of worry.
At this momentâ
He suddenly felt something squirming at his waist. Looking down, he saw two Ancient Giantsâ pockets wriggling.
His head buzzed.
"Crap, how did I forget about them?"
He hurriedly took off the two pockets.
He immediately opened the one that was obviously a bit shriveled.
A stream of figures flashed outâturns out it was the people of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion!
Back when the Asura Saint Son poured down that rain of Mysterious Demon Liquid, Jiang Fan had used the Five Magnetic Yuan Mountain to shield the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion disciples below.
When they finally fell into the Void, he had temporarily stored them in the pocket.
Then, after running into the Asura Saint Son in succession and going down to the eleventh underground layer, he ended up forgetting about them.
Gu Xinâer was the first to come out, hair dripping wet.
After all, a pocket was just one space. So many people squeezed togetherâhow could that be comfortable?
She glanced around and muttered, "Where the hell did you drag us to?"
"The Tenth Layer of the Underground World!" Xia Chaoge answered without thinking, a bright light flashing through her crystal-clear eyes.
She was certain because this was one of the few places sheâd come to with Jiang Fan.
Every place they had walked together, she remembered.
Surveying the familiar Abyss, the familiar coffin, a nostalgic smile curved at the corners of her lips.
Until she saw an Angel lying there reading a book, and couldnât help covering her little mouth: "Martial Uncle, that is..."
She thought she must be seeing thingsâhow could there be an Angel here?
Jiang Fan said, "Thatâs Hua Xin, just ignore her."
Oh~ that pitiful little female ghost?
Xia Chaoge relaxed a bit, but when her gaze fell on Jiang Fanâs figure, a faint guilt also welled up in her heart.
She had no idea how she was supposed to explain her identity to Jiang Fan.
Maybe... there might not even be time to explain.
"Husband, where is Senior Ah Yu?" Xu Youran came over holding the little horned Young Master.
Jiang Fanâs expression dimmed. He briefly recounted the matter of the two realms being connected, and what had happened with the Ayushura King.
Hearing this, Xu Youranâs steps faltered. Tears condensed from grief slid down from her eyes.
She set down the Little Young Master and bowed toward the Abyss: "Senior Ah Yuâs kindness, Youran will never forget in this lifetime."
"I will definitely take good care of the Little Young Master."
Without the Ayushura King, how could she have what she had today?
With her average talent, she wouldâve been left far behind by Jiang Fan, just like Wu Manyue, gradually fading out of Jiang Fanâs world.
Jiang Fan was silent.
Just for the Ayushura Kingâs kindness to Xu Youran alone, he had to fulfill her last wish and send the Dugu Empressâs corpse to Fengdu.
Suddenlyâ
A figure blurred into solid form and rushed over.
It was actually the Jiangshan First-class Building Owner. He brought the True Word Venerable, the Red Demon Venerable, and the other Divinity Transformation cultivators of Taicang State with him.
Finding Jiang Fan unharmed, everyone let out a sigh of relief.
"Whereâs the Asura Saint Son?" the Jiangshan First-class Building Owner asked.
Jiang Fan gave a quick rundown of what had happened, and everyoneâs expressions instantly turned grave.
The sudden outbreak of war had caught them completely off guard.
And the opponent they had to face was the incomparably powerful Hell Realm!
Jiang Fan said solemnly, "Since the Ancient Saints deliberately promoted this two-realm war, it must be a carefully considered move."
"Either we wonât pay too heavy a price, or thereâs some benefit worth Central Earth exhausting all of todayâs powerhouses to fight for."
"All we need to do is fully prepare for battle."
Hearing this, everyoneâs faces were serious. One after another, they sat down cross-legged on the spot, seizing the time to prepare.
Just in time, they had all received rewards from the Ancient Saint Merit Divine Stele, and this was the perfect time to digest them.
The True Word Venerable took out the drop of liquid gifted by the Wuhen Sage, ready to break through the Heavenly Human Three Decline.
The Jade Paper Heavenly Book in his arms also flew out, directly flying above the Dugu Empressâs coffin dais.
After taking a look, its eyes lit up:
"What a gorgeous beauty, no worse than I was in my prime."
"And sheâs also a very powerful Asura Emperor, definitely above the sixth Hell in lifeâsheâs a perfect body for Possession and re-cultivation."
A thought stirred in Jiang Fanâs heart. "Senior, wait a moment."
"I have a Sageâs body thatâs even more suitable for you to possess and cultivate anew."
He immediately took out the remains of Dongfang Canyue.
A face as cool and beautiful as ice, a silver long dress wrapping a tall, graceful figure.
Her long red hair added an extra touch of breathtaking allure.
The Lecherous Sageâs eyes lit up: "This oneâs even better! I love it, I love it!"
"With this body, wonât I just charm all the men under heaven to death?"
Jiang Fanâs mouth twitched.
If you cracked this guyâs skull open, itâd probably be nothing but yellow filth inside, right?
"Senior, if you take this body, youâll have to walk the Asura lineage from now on. You should think it through."
The Lecherous Sage just waved his hand: "Who has the luxury to think about the future?"
"A Virtuous Realm corpse is something you run into by sheer luck. Just finding a complete one is already huge fortuneâwho still has room to be picky?"
"If it were that easy to find, I wouldnât have stayed under that Fire Well for a thousand years."
The Jiangshan First-class Building Owner agreed deeply: "Even a titan as powerful as the Reincarnation Great Sage had to spare no effort to establish Reincarnation Mountain and cultivate a body for himself to possess."
"Bodies of Sagesâaside from the remains of the Tribulation Sage, there isnât a second one to be found in Central Earth."
Is that so?
Jiang Fan rubbed his chin, then poured out the remains of the Compassionate Sage and a male Asura Emperor from his Space Storage Device.
"Speaking of which, I still have two Sage corpses I need to deal with."
Uhâ
The Jiangshan First-class Building Owner and the Lecherous Sage both turned to stone on the spot.
Counting the Dugu Empress, Jiang Fan had already gotten his hands on four Sage corpses, right?
Was he running a wholesale business or what?
