Chapter 1799 - 1838: An Unexpected Surprise

Red Sleeves’ eyes gleamed with sharpness: "To capture the thief, first seize the king. If he takes you, he can threaten me."

"No, that’s not right..."

She gently shook her head again: "He wouldn’t have the heart to threaten me by hurting you."

Thinking of Jiang Fan giving Green Pearl ten drops of Asura Holy Blood, providing her the opportunity to strike for the Asura Emperor, she felt a pang of envy.

Green Pearl truly is favoured by Jiang Fan.

Even if Jiang Fan were to snatch Green Pearl away, he wouldn’t bear to harm her in the slightest.

Green Pearl’s body was immobilized, only her eyes could move; hearing this made her anxious.

Jiang Fan, please don’t come. Red Sleeves has already set the ultimate trap, just waiting for you to fall into it.

At this moment.

Jiang Fan, in the crystal image, started moving.

With a flash, he vanished on the spot!

Red Sleeves slightly curled her lips: "You took action after all. Inform Heavenly Eye and Fragrance-eating Asuras, we’ve hooked a big fish."

"If we can capture Jiang Fan, the Hell Realm will have one less major enemy. If we can persuade him to work for our Nine Divisions, we will gain a great support."

Just as Jiang Fan had guessed, she intentionally lured Jiang Fan to risk himself.

Only in this way could Jiang Fan be captured alive.

If he could be kept within the Asura Nine Divisions, it would greatly assist the Asura Nine Divisions in establishing a foothold in the Hell Realm.

Beside her, Young Master Xue Cheng raised his eyebrows and said: "He is only at the Heavenly Human Two Declines, whether he can ever reach the Great Venerable Realm is uncertain."

"How could he be an aid to our Nine Divisions?"

Young Master Xue Cheng was not hearing the name Jiang Fan from Red Sleeves’ mouth for the first time, each mention faintly filled with admiration, even a hint of respect.

This made him feel uncomfortable.

Red Sleeves calmly said:

"At the Nascent Soul Realm, he led Taicang State to defeat the Black Sun Royal Court."

"At the Heavenly Person Decline, he defeated the prodigies of the Hundred Realms during the Ancient Hunt, seizing the first place."

"At the Heavenly Human Two Declines, he achieved the first Merit of the Nine Steles, etching his name for eternity."

"With such a person, do you really worry he can’t achieve the Great Venerable? Can’t aid the Asura Nine Divisions?"

There was one more thing she didn’t say.

Jiang Fan could even offer the opportunity for the Asura Emperor casually; who among the Asura Nine Divisions could do such a thing?

Young Master Xue Cheng secretly felt a shiver, that name Jiang Fan, was he really so remarkable?

Fortunately, he wasn’t a member of the Asura Nine Divisions.

Otherwise, he would surely become a significant threat to him, competing for everything.

Including the status within the Asura Nine Divisions, including Red Sleeves.

At this moment.

Far outside the Asura Army’s sight, Jiang Fan revealed his figure.

Shortly after, Yellow Springs also quietly appeared.

"Starfire Senior, do you have any orders?"

It turned out that before leaving, Jiang Fan secretly communicated with Yellow Springs, instructing him to follow closely.

Jiang Fan said: "I want to use your Deception Dao to infiltrate the enemy army, do you dare to accompany me?"

What?

Yellow Springs’ expression changed suddenly.

That was a full seventy thousand-strong Asura Clan army, countless Asura Kings, even the slightest mistake and they wouldn’t escape, no matter their abilities.

Jiang Fan said solemnly: "The Hell Realm is about to make its move, time is not on our side."

"We can only take bold gambits, fighting desperately."

Upon understanding the situation, Yellow Springs clenched his jaw and said: "I will follow Starfire Senior’s command."

If this battle were lost, Bi Luo would also perish in the Hell Realm.

He must go all in.

Jiang Fan said: "I hope you disguise yourself as an Asura Clan member to infiltrate. Only your Deception Dao can successfully deceive the detection of the Heavenly Eye and Fragrance-eating Asura Clan."

"As for me..."

A hint of a smile appeared on Jiang Fan’s face: "I want to give Red Sleeves a little unexpected surprise!"

Not long after.

A One Crown King, looking like a distinguished figure, sped towards the Asura Clan army.

"Which tribe are you from? What’s your name?"

As soon as he arrived at the army, two Asura Kings holding Nine Scrolls of Names stopped him, demanding his name.

"I am Ah Quan from the Heavenly Eye Asura Division."

One of the Asuras immediately found the Heavenly Eye Asura Division in the Nine Scrolls of Names.

It detailed the names and information of every member of the Heavenly Eye Asura Division, including their portraits.

Soon, they turned to the page for Asura Kings.

The Heavenly Eye Asura Division had only twenty or thirty Asura Kings, easy to check.

One glance was enough.

"There’s no name Ah Quan..." The Asura King investigating the name scroll looked at Ah Quan cautiously.

Ah Quan smiled: "You’ve forgotten, we’ve met."

A barely perceptible domain fluctuation emanated from him, and the inspecting Asura King’s eyes became dazed, saying:

"Oh~ Ah Quan, I remember now."

"Go on in, at the camp, someone will assign you to a unit based on your cultivation and talent."

The two Asura Kings stepped aside to let him pass.

"Thank you." Ah Quan cupped his hands and left.

Once he left, the other Asura King questioned: "Where have you met this Asura King?"

"Why don’t I recall this strange Asura King in the Heavenly Eye Asura Division?"

The Asura King responsible for checking the name scrolls said in a daze:

"No need to doubt, I swear on my great-grandmother’s honor, I have definitely met him."

Upon hearing this, the other Asura King was relieved.

After all, who would joke about their great-grandmother’s honor?

Ah Quan made his way through to the heart of the Asura Army, reaching the camp.

About twenty Asura Clan members were waiting to be organized into teams.

Ah Quan nonchalantly joined the crowd, observing his surroundings.

When he noticed the giant Abyss beneath his feet, his pupils shrank, and he thought: "Starfire Senior, I’ve reached above the Abyss."

"Should we take the gamble?"

Jiang Fan’s voice quickly echoed in his mind:

"Red Sleeves is cunning, there can’t be no traps near the Abyss."

"Don’t waste effort."

Before the departure, the two had already established Mute Zen, allowing them to communicate freely.

Yellow Springs was slightly stunned: "Then why did we take the risk to come here?"

He had always thought Jiang Fan’s risky strategy was about forcefully breaching the Abyss.

Jiang Fan responded without hesitation: "To capture the thief, first seize the king!"

"Naturally, to capture Red Sleeves and reclaim the Yin Marrow Talisman."

What?

Yellow Springs secretly took a deep breath, capturing the enemy commander amidst thousands of troops?

Could it be possible?

Even the slightest noise would lead to being besieged.

He nervously asked: "Then how can we approach Red Sleeves?"

"She, as the commander, is deep within the camp, and I am merely a One-Crowned Asura King, it’s impossible to reach her."

"Moreover, I will soon be assigned to a unit, taking me further away from the camp, making it even less likely."

Jiang Fan calmly said: "No need to deliberately approach."

"With her vigilance, even the slightest intention to approach her would arouse her suspicion."

"Stay still, she will come to you."

Yellow Springs couldn’t understand at all.

Would Red Sleeves actively approach an ordinary Asura King like him?

Inside the camp.

Red Sleeves never took her eyes off the projection in the crystal, her peripheral vision skimming over the hourglass on the table.

The last grain of sand fell, marking a tea time passing.

"Neither the Heavenly Eye nor Fragrance-eating Asura Clan have noticed anything unusual?" Red Sleeves asked.

Young Master Xue Cheng shook his head: "No."

"He probably hasn’t come yet."

Red Sleeves’ gaze was profoundly deep, gleams of light spreading, she shook her head and said:

"No, he’s definitely not someone to hesitate or delay."

"At such a critical juncture, he would never dawdle."

"He’s certainly already taken action, and there’s only one possibility why we haven’t detected it."

"That is... he used a new method unknown to me to evade the inspections of the Heavenly Eye and Fragrance-eating Asura Clan."

Her lips curled into a smile:

"Without a doubt, he has already successfully infiltrated our Asura Army!"
