Chapter 1698: Chapter 1737: Hell Beast

The Fire Worship Sect Leader was surprised and said, "The Venerable actually knows my humble True Disciple?"

"Zhenyu, aren’t you coming to pay respects to Senior Starfire Venerable?"

Amid the calls, a young man standing behind the Fire Worship Sect’s crowd parted the people and approached Jiang Fan.

His appearance was ordinary, the kind that would be invisible in a crowd.

His cultivation had reached the Ninth Layer of Core Formation Perfection, with the opportunity to attempt to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm.

He bowed respectfully: "Junior Lin Zhenyu, pays respects to Senior Starfire Venerable."

Jiang Fan examined him, but nothing was apparent from his appearance.

The human aura, the human cultivation, the anxious expression were all flawless.

The Fire Worship Sect Leader was expectant: "Senior, do you recognize my disciple?"

Could it be that Lin Zhenyu was appreciated by Jiang Fan in some way?

Jiang Fan’s eyes showed contemplation.

As Lin Zhenyu’s master, did the Fire Worship Sect Leader not detect anything wrong with him?

Jiang Fan had only seen one creature capable of disguising to such an extent so far.

That is the Hell Beast, which gains everything from its prey by consuming them.

Linking it to the second Connecting Sky Black Pillar near the Fire Worship Sect, the likelihood of a Hell Beast hiding there is high!

He collected the strange look in his eyes, showing a slight smile:

"Our Taicang State has been gravely injured in this battle, with a sharp decline in the Nascent Soul realm."

"I intend to particularly nurture a group of Ninth Layer of Core Formation juniors to help them break through to Nascent Soul quickly."

"Since Lin Zhenyu is your True Disciple, I will nurture him well."

The Fire Worship Sect Leader was overjoyed; who didn’t know that Jiang Fan was full of treasures?

Members of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion were all originally of mediocre aptitude, yet they had all been pushed into the Nascent Soul rank.

If Lin Zhenyu could be under Jiang Fan’s special cultivation, his future would be promising!

He nudged Lin Zhenyu’s knee, making him kneel on the ground.

"Aren’t you going to kneel and thank the Senior?"

Lin Zhenyu hurriedly kowtowed excitedly: "Thank you Senior Starfire for nurturing, this junior is willing to go through fire and water for you without hesitation."

Jiang Fan smiled and patted his shoulder: "No need for formalities."

As he patted his shoulder, a small jar containing the Heavenly Sacred Fire appeared in Jiang Fan’s sleeve.

At the moment it was taken out, Lin Zhenyu’s body trembled violently, as if shocked, he backed away.

Jiang Fan’s pupils slightly chilled.

This object only has a restraining effect on creatures from the Hell Realm, Lin Zhenyu’s identity was now self-evident!

The second Hell Beast!

He was secretly alarmed; fortunately, he cautiously eliminated this hidden danger, otherwise the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion would be harboring a Hell Beast.

The thought was terrifying.

However, Jiang Fan did not kill him.

To activate the Bronze Hell Beast, living Hell Beast blood is required.

He put away the Sacred Fire, and asked in surprise: "What’s wrong with you?"

Lin Zhenyu felt suspicious in his heart, but pretended to be unconcerned on the surface, saying: "I’m fine, thank you Senior for your concern."

Jiang Fan furrowed his brows and said: "A touch from a Divinity Transformation Venerable scares you, your mental state needs improvement."

"Stay by my side for the next few days and I’ll take you to see some things."

Lin Zhenyu hesitated.

Jiang Fan’s fierce reputation preceded him; would long-term proximity lead to exposure?

However, the Fire Worship Sect Leader was delighted, and shouted: "You good-for-nothing, hurry and thank Senior Starfire Venerable!"

"Being personally taught by such a Senior is like smoke rising from your ancestor’s grave."

To avoid exposure, Lin Zhenyu could only feign gratitude.

Jiang Fan’s eyes flashed coldly for a moment, but he wore a warm smile: "Rise."

Having dealt with Lin Zhenyu’s matter.

Jiang Fan looked in the direction of the underground palace and found that Yue Mingzhu had not yet returned, so he took Tian Qin out from the Space Mirror.

She was bound by the Immortal Binding Vine, disheveled hair, and had a large turtle drawn on her pretty face.

Her exposed wrists and neck were bruised.

It seemed that the Rebellious Guy had really been "taking good care" of her.

"Jiang Fan! I’d rather die than be humiliated, kill me now!" Tian Qin shrieked frantically.

She had enough of that small spirit beast which appeared harmless but was actually horribly vicious.

"As you wish."

Jiang Fan grasped the Purple Thunder and directly placed it against her neck, his gaze exceptionally cold.

This supporter of the Dark Shura Clan among the giants was also a hidden danger.

It ought to be sacrificed to heaven.

"Wait, my husband!" Green Pearl intervened, appearing slightly excited: "She’s the eldest princess of the Dark Shura Clan Imperial Family, knowledgeable of many clan secrets."

"Killing her would be a shame; better to keep her and slowly extract information."

Jiang Fan pondered.

During his counterattack against the Heavenly Realm, the Dark Shura Clan would not sit idle.

Jiang Fan asked: "Is the Dark Shura Clan strong?"

If they were merely an ordinary tribe, there would be no need for such trouble.

"Very strong!" Green Pearl affirmed resolutely: "The bounty from the Dark Shura Clan for capturing the second princess Tian Ge is to assist a Five Crowned Asura to ascend to Asura Emperor."

"This shows that there’s an Asura Emperor in the clan."

Whoa!

How did I almost forget this bounty?

Without an Asura Emperor in charge, how could they issue a bounty of such magnitude?

Reflecting further, the tribe where Red Sleeves resides, under the suppression of the Giant Clan, could still nurture a Five Crowned Asura.

The Dark Shura Clan, unfettered by the Giant Clan and even protected by them, having developed over thousands of years, who knows how powerful it has become!

Jiang Fan was slightly startled.

He realized that he had underestimated the strength of the Dark Shura Clan.

In the Southern Heavenly Realm, threats were not limited to the Ancient Giants!

"Hehehe, trying to extract information from me?"

"Although I am a woman, don’t underestimate my willpower..."

Bang!

A black Divine Wood struck her on the head.

Tian Qin was momentarily stunned, then the delayed, hellish pain engulfed her, causing her to roll on the ground.

"Ah!!! It hurts so much!"

"Woowoo... kill me... woowoo..."

Rolling around, the pain eventually brought tears to her eyes.

Jiang Fan shrugged: "Obviously, your will isn’t as tough as my stick."

Time was pressing, he had no leisure to interrogate her.

He returned her to the Space Mirror.

The Rebellious Guy poked out his head, eagerly looking at the stick, said: "Big brother, can I play with this stick?"

Upon hearing this, Tian Qin screamed in terror:

"Jiang Fan, don’t give it to him, I’ll tell you everything you want!"

"Don’t give that little demon!"

Jiang Fan smirked.

Still defiant, one hit and she relented.

At this moment.

The white light on Jiang Fan, Green Pearl, and the White Tiger suddenly started to tremble.

Then it transformed into a circular light ring, radiating out in all directions.

It swept across Taicang State, spreading throughout Central Earth.

In the Void where Hunyuan State resided.

The Giant Emperor and the Ten Sins of Central Earth were still making their last, unyielding counterattack.

If they could kill one Sage before Jiang Fan returned, there was a sliver of chance left for them.

However.

Just then, that light ring swept across them.

It brushed over the Ten Sins without much effect, but when it passed over the Giant Emperor, the curse sun wheel on their foreheads shook violently.

Their mighty golden bodies also trembled madly, and the frequency increased rapidly.

The Sleeping Giant Emperor vomited blood in terror and said: "The Emperor, we must leave!"

"The ancient hunt is over!"

The Six Sun Giant Emperor’s eyes were bloodshot, roaring into the sky furiously: "I am unwilling!!!"
