Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 2185: Chapter 2229: Family

She raised her finger and touched the small sword seal on her forehead.

A large amount of Sword Qi surged out, enveloping her and transforming into a colossal phantom of a golden longsword that vanished into the sky.

In her musings, she also took out her Heart Sword.

With a flash of her eyes, she activated the Heart Sword, causing the long swords hanging from heaven and earth to hum in unison.

It was as though they were summoned by the Heart of Ten Thousand Swords.

The Mysterious Great Sage, who was tracking the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis, sensed something and looked towards Liu Qingxian’s direction.

”My Heart Sword? This sword is supposed to be in that old man’s hands!”

His eyes gleamed with a spark of excitement.

He thought he had lost the trail, but it turns out they were nearby!

However, he noticed that the direction in which the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis was heading and the Heart Sword’s direction were not the same.

After a brief consideration, he decisively abandoned the pursuit of the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis and instead sped off towards the direction of the Heart Sword.

Who the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis was pursuing, how strong they were, and whether they possessed any prized treasures were all unknowns.

Whereas the old man was a certainty!

Swoosh—

The Mysterious Great Sage changed course, teleporting in an instant.

The Widow Wolf Sage, following closely behind, paused slightly, a look of confusion in his eyes: ”Why didn’t that old fox continue chasing the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis?”

With a turn of eyes, he also changed course to follow after.

The impending great crisis was now all following Liu Qingxian.

But.

Not long after the two left, in the nearby heavens and earth, a graceful silhouette emerged from illusion to reality.

It was none other than the still charming and flirtatious Fuyun Great Sage.

She gazed in the direction they departed, puzzled: ”Strange, you were so close to finding that old man, why did you suddenly all leave?”

”Never mind, it’s better if I claim the old man for myself!”

A grin tugged at her lips as she looked towards the horizon where Spirit Mountain stood.

Beyond Spirit Mountain, there seemed to be a hint of blood light lingering.

”But why is the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis also searching for the old man? And how did he find him across worlds?”

Fuyun Great Sage mused softly, then closed her eyes to perceive something.

In the next instant.

She appeared accurately before Jiang Fan’s cave abode.

The secretive means set up by Jiang Fan and Liu Qingxian were naturally no challenge before a Three Calamities Realm.

With her hands behind her back and a smile on her face, she walked through the array and saw the hidden stone door.

”You sly fellow, did you think you could erase the imprint from my Jade Talisman?”

”This old lady’s methods aren’t that easy to break.”

Smiling, she kicked the stone door open.

A large amount of dust fell, vaguely revealing a blurry figure inside.

”Haha, old man, surprised, aren’t you?”

Fuyun Great Sage chuckled, but soon she showed a look of astonishment: ”You’re actually so young?”

What she saw was a handsome and youthful face.

She had thought that beneath Jiang Fan’s mask wasn’t necessarily an old man, but certainly not someone so young.

Firstly, to be equivalent to the peak of the One Calamity Middle Period at the Divinity Transformation Realm, with such superior strength, he seemed more like a Great Venerate who had spent years in meditative practice, making it nearly impossible for him to be young.

Secondly, being so crafty didn’t seem like something a young person would possess.

Yet, incredibly, his true face resembled that of a mere nineteen-year-old boy!

Jiang Fan was also greatly surprised at this moment.

Fuyun Great Sage actually tracked him down!

Could it be that the Jade Talisman had a mark that couldn’t be washed away by even the Washing Spirit Liquid?

He decisively stopped healing, turning his hand to retrieve a book.

It was a book from the Martial Vault!

Previously, he had taken a few books for self-defense, though he never intended to use them.

Now, with no other means to deal with the Three Calamities Realm, he could only bring it out to intimidate her.

”A book from the Martial Vault?” Fuyun Great Sage instantly sensed the book’s extraordinary nature, her face showing a hint of caution.

Books from the Famous Ten Forbidden Lands Martial Vault—how could she not know their power?

Once ensnared within, one had to completely follow the storyline.

Otherwise, they would be trapped forever.

Yet, seeing this naive young man trying to threaten her, she steeled her heart: ”You brat, you actually intend to threaten me?”

”This old lady might as well enter the book then!”

Being in the Three Calamities Realm, she had the confidence to escape from within a book.

Jiang Fan’s heart couldn’t help but shiver.

Using this as leverage with a Three Calamities Realm definitely wasn’t an easy task.

With a turn of his gaze, he said, ”Fine, this book narrates a forbidden romance between master and disciple—there’s even a bed scene.”

”If you want to come in, let me help you.”

With that, he was about to open the book with both hands.

Fuyun Great Sage’s eyelid twitched wildly: ”Master and disciple? Forbidden romance? With a bed scene?”

”You shameless brat, why did you choose such a vulgar book?”

She panicked.

Other stories, she could simply try experiencing them.

But having a master-disciple romance with Jiang Fan including such scenes?

If word got out, how could she face anyone in the Martial Vault again?

Jiang Fan huffed: ”Vulgar? Isn’t it more honorable than you secretly tracking participants of the conference?”

Fuyun Great Sage’s eyes flickered with anger, secretly furious.

She thought she had found a fat sheep, but who knew it was a porcupine full of spikes!

”Give me a Heaven Burial Saint Beast, and this old lady won’t make trouble for you!” Fuyun Great Sage took a step back.

Jiang Fan advanced with the book, a cold expression on his face:

”Old woman, you should partake in a colorful master-disciple romance with me!”

With that, he pretended to open the book.

Fuyun Great Sage was scared, shouting: ”Stop! You damn brat, you have the nerve...”

As she spoke, she suddenly looked at Jiang Fan’s forehead.

In her vision, a ”blood” character appeared on Jiang Fan’s forehead, pulsating frequently.

”A Blood Seal from the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis?” Fuyun Great Sage hesitated: ”Is the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis looking for you?”

”Are you the one who fought with the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis a few days ago?”

”How could it be you?”

Fuyun Great Sage staggered back a few steps, her almond eyes wide open.

Looking at the youthful face of the Jiang Fan before her, it was as if she had seen a ghost.

The legend was that an unparalleled expert had scarred the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis, and that person was actually this Divinity Transformation Realm youth?

Jiang Fan’s face darkened, looking beyond the cave at the skies: ”That persistent thing!”

Then, he glared fiercely at Fuyun Great Sage: ”Wretched woman, if I hadn’t exhausted my means dealing with the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis, you and those chasing me would already be dead!”

Fuyun Great Sage softly covered her lips.

This statement, she had no doubt.

Someone who could fight the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis head-on and injure him surely possessed the means to kill both her and the Mysterious Great Sage.

”Who... who exactly are you?” Fuyun Great Sage’s pupils trembled.

She couldn’t fathom when a terrifying prodigy like this suddenly emerged in the Hundred Realms of All Heavens.

Even Jian Wuchou from the Martial Vault was nothing compared to this person.

Suddenly, she remembered a rising star who was also being hunted by the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis.

She gasped: ”You are... Jiang Fan of Central Earth?”

Jiang Fan said coldly: ”So what if I am? Get lost immediately!”

Right now, he was most concerned about Liu Qingxian.

Since Fuyun Great Sage barged in, wouldn’t that mean Liu Qingxian...?

Fuyun Great Sage exclaimed: ”You’re really Jiang Fan? Ah... we... we are family!”

Hmm?

Jiang Fan frowned, knitting his eyebrows together: ”Family?”
