Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 2247: Chapter 2291: Seeking Revenge

He lightly flicked his finger. This wisp of Void Flow Power shot toward the black Array overhead. A ripple washed across the Array’s surface, and the Void Flow Power passed through with ease.

Jiang Fan rejoiced slightly. ”As expected!

”The restrictions here have no suppressive power over the Void Flow Power.”

The Big Black Dog seemed to notice something, its three dog eyes widening as round as saucers. ”Huh? Am I seeing things?

”Your Void Flow Power can penetrate the Forbidden Saint Palace? How is that possible?”

Jiang Fan pondered for a moment. The mechanics of the Forbidden Saint Palace were somewhat similar to the Five Magnetic Yuan Mountain; it sealed off thousands of miles of the heavens and suppressed all living beings. Only the Void Flow Power could pass through. Thinking about it further, the so-called Five Magnetic Yuan Mountain was actually a part of the Northern Heavenly State’s World Embryo Five Magnet Immortal Mountain, which in turn originated from the Daqian Divine Kingdom. It was highly likely that the Forbidden Saint Palace before him shared some origin with the Five Magnet Immortal Mountain. Therefore, the Void Flow Power could accidentally pass through this place.

”I don’t have to worry about being permanently sealed here. When the right opportunity arises, I can leave anytime,” Jiang Fan muttered.

The Big Black Dog hastily urged, ”Then what are we waiting for? Let’s run away quickly while that old fogey is dealing with the experts of the Martial Vault.

”You have no idea how terrifying that old fogey is.

”Even my master holds a degree of reverence for him.”

Jiang Fan naturally knew of the Prime Minister’s unfathomable depths. However, as he surveyed the Forbidden Saint Palace, his eyes narrowed slightly. ”Now is not the time. I need to make good use of the Forbidden Saint Palace to take care of something.”

His eyes brimmed with a cold glint. Void Flow Power surged, enveloping his entire body. ”Qing Jiu, Liang Feiyan, wait here. I’m going out for a bit.”

If the Prime Minister wanted to harm them, he would have killed them outright. Why bother imprisoning them here? Therefore, staying here posed no temporary threat to their lives. It might even be safer than the outside.

Next, he brought out the poisonous body double and handed it to the Big Black Dog. ”If necessary, bring this out to stall for time and claim I’m dead.”

The Big Black Dog scratched its head. ”Where are you going?”

”To slaughter a certain Viscount, of course!” Jiang Fan replied.

The Big Black Dog suddenly understood! Feng Lingxiao held a bona fide title of Viscount. If he died, it would inevitably trigger close scrutiny from the higher-ups of Nanqian. When that time came, how could Jiang Fan, who had a grudge against Feng Lingxiao, avoid being noticed? A slight investigation would expose him, bringing about endless trouble. But by using the Forbidden Saint Palace, he could perfectly clear himself of suspicion.

The Big Black Dog circled Jiang Fan, looking him up and down. ”How is your brain wired?

”How can you come up with such devious ideas?”

While others would still be fraught with anxiety over their perilous situation, Jiang Fan was already capable of utilizing his environment to scheme for himself.

Jiang Fan rolled his eyes at it and extended a hand. ”Imprint an Olfactory Talent for me.”

The Big Black Dog did not hesitate this time. It readily sniffed hard, imprinted a Talent into a Jade Talisman, and personally shoved it into Jiang Fan’s hand with its paw, speaking viciously, ”Don’t leave his corpse intact!”

Just now, Feng Lingxiao had explicitly followed the Bone Struggle Sage, intending to attack it together! People like this who disrespected His Majesty all had to die!

”All right! I’ll get going first!” Jiang Fan put on a mask, adopting the face of an ordinary middle-aged man.

Subsequently, Void Flow Power erupted beneath his feet, launching him into the air. Because he was wrapped in the Void Flow Power, he passed right through the Array unhindered upon touching it.

SWISH.

Jiang Fan’s vision shifted, and he found himself amidst a continuous stretch of resplendent, ancient palaces. Ethereal immortal mist shrouded the land for thousands of miles, while divine phoenixes and immortal sparrows chirped across the nine heavens. Multicolored Yun Xia drifted across the cloudy sky, illuminating the ancient, time-worn halls. A magnificent, mysterious, and ancient picture scroll unfolded before his eyes. Even Jiang Fan, who had visited several worlds and witnessed the grand spectacles of the great era, felt a momentary wave of infatuation.

”Is this... the scenery of the Daqian Divine Kingdom?”

The Imperial Palace of Nanqian was supposedly a brand-new palace complex built ten thousand years ago. However, the people of that era still retained memories of the Daqian Divine Kingdom. The architectural style, layout, Feng Shui, and so on were all restored to the greatest extent. What he saw right now was a miniature of the lost civilization of the Daqian Divine Kingdom.

”Who goes there?”

Just as he was lost in thought, a stern shout exploded without warning. Jiang Fan snapped back to his senses.

How could there not be patrols in the Imperial Palace? For him to hover so openly above the Imperial Palace, it would be a miracle if the patrols did not notice him. He immediately cast the No-Self Dust-Cleansing Technique to enter an Invisibility State, then swiftly escaped.

As he fled, he took out the Wind God Order Flag and the Olfactory Talent Jade Talisman. This flag had not been cleansed since he obtained it; therefore, it still bore Feng Lingxiao’s aura. He crushed the Jade Talisman, and a wisp of black airflow drilled into his nose.

Jiang Fan suddenly felt as if a brand-new channel had been opened between his nose and his soul. The scents of all things in the world directly reflected in his mind. The bodily fragrance of a woman from god knows where, the faint and imperceptible floral scent from afar—they were all as clear as if they were right under his nose!

He had held the Wind God Order Flag in his hand for over a month, yet he had never smelled any aura on it. Now, however, he caught several mixed scents. One of them was his own, another was Feng Lingxiao’s, and there was also an unfamiliar aura.

The Wind God Order Flag did not belong to Feng Lingxiao; rather, it was a supreme treasure requested from the Nanqian Royal Family. Its original owner was someone else entirely.

He locked onto Feng Lingxiao’s aura and subsequently scanned his surroundings. Soon, he caught a trail of aura stretching toward the north.

”The north?” A cold glint flashed in Jiang Fan’s eyes as he turned into an afterimage and darted off.

North of the Imperial Palace.

The earth was torn open by a long rift. Multicolored Yun Xia rushed out from underground, piercing straight into the heavens. But those were not Yun Xia. They were the radiance of one Array after another!

The underground near the Imperial Palace was not the earth in the ordinary sense. Instead, it consisted of a full eighty-one super-large Arrays layered upon each other.

Outside the rift, the experts of Nanqian were gathered. Over a dozen auras of the Three Calamities Realm were released without any concealment, guarding different directions around the rift. Guarding one of these locations was none other than the Bone Struggle Sage. Beside him stood over a dozen Law Enforcers, as well as Feng Lingxiao and his clansmen.

Feng Lingxiao stared at the Arrays within the rift and asked, ”Senior, are all those remnants of the Martial Vault hiding in there?”

Traces of sharp glints flickered in the Bone Struggle Sage’s eyes. ”They’re quite smart.

”Knowing they couldn’t escape, they simply fled into the depths of the grand Arrays, where no one can do anything to them.”

Feng Lingxiao frowned. ”These grand Arrays were established during the era of the Daqian Divine Kingdom. When the Daqian Divine Kingdom collapsed back then, the Arrays weren’t torn apart.

”If they hide inside, doesn’t that mean no one can touch them?”

Because of the sheer power of the Arrays, they had also been fashioned into a cage. Similar to the Sumeru Divine Prison, it specialized in detaining exceedingly powerful enemies. However, several experts from the Martial Vault had seized the opportunity to use it as a shield. Now that they refused to come out, the people of Nanqian did not dare to rashly enter. The two sides were locked in a stalemate!
