"Collaboration?"
The Asura Saint Son sneered, "Whatâs there to collaborate on with you?"
"Your death would be the best collaboration!"
He had long-held grudges against Jiang Fan. If it werenât for Jiang Fan, Central Earth would have already fallen. If it werenât for Jiang Fan, he would hold the "Prison Suppressing Soul Scripture" and save the dead spirits of Central Earth!
This brat ruined his millennium plan, and even tearing him apart wouldnât quell his anger, so how could he collaborate with him?
The words were still in his mouth, and he was already making a move!
Jiang Fan said calmly, "What if you canât find the âPrison Suppressing Soul Scriptureâ?"
"Although my âPrison Suppressing Soul Scriptureâ is already destroyed, the contents are all recorded here."
He pointed to his own head.
This was his biggest trump card against the Asura Saint Son.
The killing intent brewing in the Asura Saint Son suddenly halted, his eyes shifted, "Then why should I go to the Buddha Domain? I could just capture you and interrogate you for the answers."
Jiang Fan smiled, "If you trust me, I could write it out for you."
The Asura Saint Son showed an uncertain flicker in his expression.
Indeed, how could Jiang Fan, such a cunning person, possibly give him the real version?
If he was given a fake, and lost the chance to sneak into the Buddhaâs venue to find the real one, wouldnât that be a double loss?
Having suffered losses caused by Jiang Fan many times, he thought it best to rely on himself to find the real version.
The content in Jiang Fanâs mind could only be a backup plan.
"How do you propose we collaborate?" The Asura Saint Son retracted his killing intent and asked.
Jiang Fan said, "Arenât you planning to steal the âPrison Suppressing Soul Scriptureâ? I could also conveniently steal some Buddhist treasures."
"You have the power of the Asura Emperor, but I have a wife skilled in the Emperorâs Gaze Technique and a friend at the Bodhisattva Realm."
"Some things you canât find or places you canât reach, they can."
Oh?
The Asura Saint Son pondered. Indeed, he had worries about the difficulty of finding the treasures or obtaining them without Buddhist divine skills.
Perhaps the people Jiang Fan brought could really be useful.
"Fine, we can collaborate, but what if you run afterward? Where would I find you to get the âPrison Suppressing Soul Scriptureâ content?"
"How about this..."
The Asura Saint Son extended his palm, and a blood-red worm, resembling a nail, emerged from his palm.
"You implant this worm inside your body, and after you hand over the âPrison Suppressing Soul Scripture,â Iâll remove it."
Jiang Fan squinted slightly.
This object, he was not unfamiliar with it.
In the past, Kui Xing used such worms to control several loose cultivators when they went to the underground of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.
This was a blood worm, used by the Bloodthirsty Shura Clan to control puppets.
However, the Asura Saint Sonâs blood worm was incomparable to Kui Xingâs.
Its power was strong enough to control the life and death of anyone in the Divinity Transformation Realm.
The Asura Saint Son indeed wasnât easy to fool. Should he accept or reject the request?
If he refused, they might turn against each other immediately.
As he was contemplating, a long-lost burning sensation came from his chest.
It was the remnant soul of the Earth Phoenix Great Sage.
Having not encountered worms for a long time, the Five-Colored Rooster was so bored that it was restless, suddenly seeing a powerful worm, it was excitedly heating up continuously.
To the point that Jiang Fanâs Divinity Transformation Realm body was scalded with searing pain.
Jiang Fan relaxed.
Since the Earth Phoenix Great Sage could restrain this worm, there was nothing to fear.
He rolled his eyes and pat his chest, saying, "No problem! When dealing with people, itâs important to be trustworthy."
"But what if afterward you refuse to remove the worm and use it to kill me?"
"How about you pawn some valuable things to me?"
"After the collaboration ends, you remove the worm, and I return your treasures, thus we wonât distrust each other."
The Asura Saint Sonâs eyes flashed with fierceness, bargaining with him?
However, considering the content of the âPrison Suppressing Soul Scriptureâ in Jiang Fanâs mind, he had to bear it for now.
After thinking it over, he hesitated but finally took out a slender, black chain, with a collar at the other end.
"This will be placed with you as collateral." The Asura Saint Son was somewhat reluctant.
Jiang Fan frowned, "What is this? A dog leash?"
The Asura Saint Son snorted, "Years ago, I deceived the Compassionate Sage into exploring a mysterious ruin beyond the heavens."
"He returned gravely injured, bringing back a mysterious little spirit beast that was inscrutable."
"Later, the little spirit beast ran away, leaving behind this chain."
Eh?
Jiang Fanâs heart skipped, the Compassionate Sage once said, the little Qilin was his spirit beast.
Could it be, the little spirit beast he brought back from the heavenly ruins was the Little Qilin?
On checking again, the collarâs size exactly fit the Little Qilinâs neck.
This was indeed to bind the Little Qilin.
But, could this even be considered a treasure?
Unexpectedly, the Asura Saint Sonâs expression was grave, "Donât underestimate this chain."
"Back then, I tried it on the Tianluo Sage, and once it was placed on, the Tianluo Sage at his peak instantly lost all his power, becoming a mortal."
"I initially planned to enslave another Central Earth sage, but unfortunately, there was no suitable target."
"Now, depositing it with you, donât lose it, I have great use for it in the future!"
Hmm?
A large question mark popped up over Jiang Fanâs head.
Really, is it necessary?
The Little Qilin is so frail, just a slap will have it belly-up on the ground struggling.
Did it really require such a legendary chain to subdue it?
"I find it hard to believe," Jiang Fan took the chain, icy to the touch, without any discernible pressure.
It didnât even qualify as a magic artifact.
"Wait, Iâm going to find someone to test it." Jiang Fan tapped on the Space Mirror,
"Empress Sister, come out, I have good news for you."
The Asura Empress emerged surprised, and upon seeing the Asura Saint Son, her pupils shrank, immediately on guard.
Jiang Fan said, "Donât be afraid, weâre now life-and-death brothers."
Bro...brothers?
The Asura Empress was astonished, indeed extremes meet, life-and-death enemies to such an extent naturally become good brothers.
She shook her head, "Whatâs the good news?"
Jiang Fan said, "Close your eyes, Iâm giving you a necklace."
Necklace?
The Asura Empress felt strange; isnât this something given between a man and a woman? Even her husband hadnât given her a necklace.
She wanted to refuse but seeing Jiang Fanâs sincere expression, recalling their shared life-and-death experience at the bottom of the Abyss, she secretly anticipated and closed her eyes.
The next moment, an icy sensation encircled her neck.
Before she could open her eyes, suddenly, all her strength seemed drained away.
She collapsed to the ground.
Yet, more than that, her limbs were out of control, hands on the ground, knees bent, with her butt slightly raised.
How to put it, she looked somewhat like a four-legged pet.
Just when a woman poses like this, it looks very...
Jiang Fan, holding the chain, looked surprised, "It really works!"
The Asura Saint Son hadnât lied; this indeed was a treasure capable of binding even a sage.
"How about it, does it suffices as collateral for a small life?" The Asura Saint Son said plainly.
Jiang Fan nodded repeatedly, "More than enough, rest assured with me."
"I promise thereâll be no mishaps!"
Because, this was already his.
