Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 1800: Chapter 1839: Closing In

The Young Master Xue Cheng couldn’t help but laugh as well. ”Then isn’t he just walking right into the trap?”

”Within the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, only about a hundred Asura Clan members have gathered here. We’d rather kill the wrong ones than let him slip by—just kill them all.”

”In the end, when his soul appears, we’ll imprison it and force it to serve us.”

Red Sleeves glanced at her indifferently.

Her plan was to capture Jiang Fan alive, but Young Master Xue Cheng wanted to use the chance to crush Jiang Fan’s flesh and imprison his soul.

Jealousy really is a terrifying emotion.

She said coolly, ”I have my own way to pick Jiang Fan out from among them!”

She immediately gave the order: ”Gather all Asura Clan members who return within the time of one cup of tea in front of the camp, and have them enter my tent one by one.”

”If anyone resists, seize them!”

The few Great Venerates outside the door immediately took the order and left. Not long after, they had gathered the Asura Clan members who had already been organized into units, together with Yellow Springs and the others who were still waiting to be organized, all in front of the camp’s main entrance.

”Form a line and go in one by one!”

”Anyone who disobeys will be dealt with under military law!”

A Five Crown King shouted harshly. At the same time, a full ten Five Crown Kings flashed over, surrounding the hundred Asura Clan members in the middle.

Any stir or movement would not escape their eyes.

Cold sweat oozed down Yellow Springs’ back. He secretly transmitted his voice, ”Senior Starfire, what do we do?”

This was playing it way too close to the edge.

There was no room for the slightest mistake.

Jiang Fan said calmly, ”Steady. As long as we don’t slip, we win.”

He turned his head to glance not far behind him at an apparently normal Two-crown Asura King.

Everyone lined up patiently, and under the strict surveillance of the group of Five Crown Kings, they entered the camp one after another.

Before long, it was Yellow Springs’ turn.

He took a deep breath, forced himself to appear calm, and stepped into the tent.

The inside of the tent was very bright.

Four Five Crown Kings stood on either side of the tent. A black-skirted woman with a head of golden long hair and stunning features stood quietly in front of a Crystal Table.

She sized Yellow Springs up and slightly furrowed her brows. ”Such an unfamiliar Asura King? And from the Heavenly Eye Lineage? I have no impression of you at all.”

Those words made Yellow Springs’ tension hit its peak, and Jiang Fan’s voice rang out in his mind.

”Follow my words and answer.”

Without thinking, Yellow Springs recited Jiang Fan’s words: ”Senior Red Sleeves, this junior only broke through to Asura King in the last few days.”

”Before that I was just a Nine Orifice Shura. How could I have entered your esteemed sight?”

The suspicion in Red Sleeves’ eyes did not lessen. She stared at him doubtfully and said, ”Come over.”

Yellow Springs walked forward anxiously. Only when he reached a distance of one zhang did Red Sleeves speak:

”All right, stand still and don’t move.”

Red Sleeves took off her gold-rimmed glasses. Her intellectual beauty lessened a bit, but her stunning allure increased.

A mysterious fluctuation flowed out from her eyes and permeated Yellow Springs’ body.

At once—

Yellow Springs’ body surface rippled like water, and scene after scene emerged from illusion into clarity.

This was Red Sleeves’ second Talent: memory reading!

No matter how well Jiang Fan and the others disguised their appearance, they could hardly escape memory reading.

The four Five Crown Kings secretly gathered power. If anything seemed off, they would strike and suppress immediately!

”No problem.” Red Sleeves merely took one glance before slowly nodding.

The suspicion in her eyes vanished.

Because all the memories within were from an Asura Clan point of view.

In the most recent memories, there were even scenes from the earlier battle with Central Earth.

The point of view was precisely that of the Asura Clan members affected by the Yin Marrow Talisman.

So there was nothing questionable about his identity.

”Wait!” Just as the four Five Crown Kings withdrew their power, Red Sleeves suddenly narrowed her eyes.

Everyone followed her gaze and saw a dynamic memory image.

It was from Ah Quan’s point of view.

From that viewpoint, Jiang Fan was being jointly hunted by a group of Asura Clan members, repeatedly struck by several attacks and coughing blood all the way.

Many of the treasures on his body fell off one after another.

Ah Quan rushed up, picked up an ancient-looking copper mirror and stuffed it into his clothes, then hurriedly slipped away.

Red Sleeves stared intently at Ah Quan. ”Take that mirror out!”

Yellow Springs was secretly astonished.

These memories had all been fabricated by Jiang Fan in advance using the Deceit Domain before the two of them entered the army.

In other words, at that time Jiang Fan had already calculated that Red Sleeves would read his memory.

Red Sleeves’ every move had been completely predicted by Jiang Fan!

And he had laid a trap in advance!

He quickly shivered once, then dared not hesitate as he took out the copper mirror Jiang Fan had already given him.

”Senior Red Sleeves, the mirror is here.”

Red Sleeves snatched it over, her face full of shock.

She was all too familiar with this mirror. It was precisely the Space Mirror Jiang Fan always carried on him, used to store his important Spiritual Pets or prisoners.

”So this guy actually has times when he gets beaten so hard he loses treasures all over the sky?”

Red Sleeves was extremely surprised.

She swept her gaze into it and her pupils shrank violently.

Because she saw several familiar faces.

For example, the brother and sister Tian Jian and Tian Qin.

And Tian Ge, who was suppressed beneath the White Horse Temple.

What shocked her even more was that there was actually a Asura Empress she didn’t even recognize!

”Dark...” Red Sleeves gasped in a low voice.

But just then—

A violent fluctuation suddenly came from outside, followed by shouts of anger.

”Catch him!”

”There’s something wrong with this Asura Clan member!”

”Careful, he has a Law in his hand!”

...

The sudden situation made everyone in the tent’s expressions change drastically.

Red Sleeves decisively gripped the Space Storage Device containing the Yin Marrow Talisman and said, ”Block him!”

The four Five Crown Kings’ eyes flashed with ferocity as each took out a Cause and Effect Jade Talisman.

Young Master Xue Cheng’s eyes gleamed with killing intent. ”So Jiang Fan really did sneak in!”

”He came at just the right time!”

He immediately used Instantaneous Movement to dash out, and the other three Five Crown Kings were not to be outdone as they flashed out as well.

Red Sleeves remained steadily seated at central command, quietly waiting for news from outside.

With over a dozen Great Venerates making a move, Jiang Fan, no matter how vast his Divine Skills, would find it impossible to escape even with wings.

Everything was proceeding exactly as she had anticipated.

Only, just as she was fully focused on listening to the commotion outside, a sudden stab of pain pricked her fingers that were holding the Space Mirror.

She hissed from the pain and withdrew her hand, the mirror rolling out of her palm as it fell.

On the back of the mirror, a finger-length little person suddenly appeared, his figure emerging from Invisibility.

Dressed in black, handsome of face—aside from being small enough to be a toy, he looked exactly like Jiang Fan!

No!

He was Jiang Fan!

Red Sleeves only now recalled that among the Ancient Giants there was a very rare type.

They were called Shape Giants; they could freely change the size of their bodies!

And once, a Two-star Shape Giant King had descended to the Lower Realm to hunt Jiang Fan!

If Jiang Fan had comprehended his Original Star, he too could freely shrink and enlarge his body!

With his body shrunk, the Heavenly Eye Asura Clan had simply ignored him.

His concealed aura, coupled with his body smeared in Asura Clan blood, had successfully fooled the sense of smell of the Fragrance-eating Asura Clan.

Thus he was able to cling to the Space Mirror as if he were in an unguarded place!

In a flash of realization, she understood everything and struck without thinking.

Pa!

With preparation against the unprepared, how could Jiang Fan possibly give her a chance to act?

Before his body could even grow back to normal size, a broken jade branch appeared in front of her.

”Freeze!”
