Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 2190: Chapter 2234: Trial

To be able to make the proud Jian Wuchou bow his head and offer treasures to beg for mercy.

To kill the No Regrets Great Sage, and yet people are not angry, nor do they dare to mention his name.

What kind of existence is this?

But this is for the best, having someone to take the blame, why not?

Long Xu Sage said: ”This person consecutively took action against Jian Wuchou and the No Regrets Great Sage, he must be targeting the attendees of your trading gathering.”

”It’s a great fortune he didn’t target you.”

Fuyun Great Sage and Jiang Fan shared an understanding glance.

That person was not after the treasures at all.

He was just singularly targeting Jian Wuchou.

Otherwise, the first person he should have sought out was the Widow Wolf Sage!

The Daqian Divine Kingdom War Boots are the priceless treasures of this trading gathering!

Fuyun Great Sage patted his chest lightly, showing a look of relief, and said:

”So, it was the No Regrets Great Sage who took the disaster for me?”

Long Xu Sage comforted: ”No need to blame yourself, it was his fate.”

”The great sages of Heavenly Blade City won’t blame you.”

Fuyun Great Sage gently frowned.

Heavenly Blade City and Divine Strategy City, one in the north, one in the south, control both sides of the Martial Vault.

No Regrets Great Sage was one of the seven great sages of Heavenly Blade City, ranked very highly because of his seniority.

Now fallen in Divine Strategy City, and it happened after attending the trading gathering she held.

How can Heavenly Blade City let it go?

The aftermath is not yet settled.

”Who might these two be?”

Long Xu Sage’s gaze fell on Jiang Fan and Liu Qingxian.

It was originally just a casual glance, but unexpectedly, both were a bit distinct.

The small sword mark on Liu Qingxian’s forehead is the seal of a Sword Saint inheritance candidate.

The other was even more peculiar.

There was actually a Blood Seal of the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis on his forehead.

He looked up at the blood light penetrating from outside the sky, his old eyes flickering, naturally associating with the person who fought fiercely with the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis days ago.

However, after scanning Jiang Fan’s cultivation, he became puzzled.

Can someone in the Divinity Transformation Realm fight head-on with the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis?

And heavily injure him?

Fuyun Great Sage calmly explained: ”That one is Liu Qingxian, a candidate for Sword Saint inheritance in Sword Central City.”

”This one is a descendant of an old acquaintance of mine, inadvertently marked by the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis, and has come to the Martial Vault seeking refuge with me.”

Is that so?

Long Xu Sage scrutinized Jiang Fan, his eyes revealing speculation.

The other great sages looked at the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis lingering outside and then at Jiang Fan, suspicion rising in their hearts.

Fuyun Great Sage’s heart slightly quickened.

It’s no easy matter to fool this bunch of old monsters.

Once his identity is exposed, how they will treat Jiang Fan is known only to the heavens.

Jiang Fan unhurriedly glanced up towards the sky.

Across the world’s barrier, he locked eyes with the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis.

Moments later, the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis rode away, abandoning the chase after Jiang Fan.

Strictly speaking, it wasn’t abandoning.

He was unwilling for Jiang Fan’s identity to be exposed and for him to die at the hands of the Martial Vault’s powerhouses!

He had pursued Jiang Fan for such a long time, attempted four times, all ending in failure, and the last time he was even severely injured.

With his pride that looks down on all heavens, how could he tolerate Jiang Fan dying by someone else’s hand?

So, after locking eyes with Jiang Fan, he decisively left.

Jiang Fan withdrew his gaze and cupped his hands toward Long Xu Sage: ”Alas, this junior was also implicated by the person who fought with the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis.”

The crowd watched the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis ride away, seemingly in pursuit of another Blood Marked.

The doubts in their hearts slightly diminished.

Looking at Jiang Fan again, indeed he was only in the Heavenly Person Five Declines Realm, doubts completely vanished.

After all, facing the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis whom they all dared not confront, a Divinity Transformation Realm that could heavily injure him was too exaggerated for them to believe, even if they saw it with their own eyes.

Long Xu Sage withdrew his gaze, paid no more mind, and instead observed Liu Qingxian more, with deep meaning, said:

”Heavenly Human Two Declines, you need to work harder.”

After speaking, Long Xu Sage dissipated into a shadow.

The other five great sages also left one after another.

After they completely left this realm, Jiang Fan and Fuyun Great Sage were relieved as if a burden was lifted.

Only Liu Qingxian, on the contrary, was deeply troubled.

Jiang Fan noticed and after thinking understood, said: ”Are you worried about the trials?”

Liu Qingxian quickly regained composure, smiled, and shook her head: ”It’s nothing, with the Heart Sword you gave me, my odds have greatly increased.”

Fuyun Great Sage looked at Liu Qingxian’s forced relaxed demeanor and sighed:

”Don’t fool him.”

”You have eight candidates ahead of you, they’ve been in the Martial Vault for years, comprehending the Sword Dao, ranging from a few decades to over a century.”

”Relying on just a Heart Sword, winning against them in the short term is too difficult.”

Jiang Fan wasn’t too surprised.

Back when Liu Qingxian left Central Earth, the consciousness of Sword Saint had said she was just one of the nine candidates.

The other candidates should have been preparing for the trials long ago.

To surpass their decades or hundreds of years of insight with just one Heart Sword, how could it be easy?

He rubbed his chin and said: ”Qingxian, when do the trials begin?”

Liu Qingxian gave a wry smile: ”Originally it was three years later, but as wars among the heavens are about to start, with the dark tides ready to erupt at any moment, the time was moved up.”

”It will be held in about half a month!”

Half a month?

Jiang Fan slowly nodded: ”That’s more than enough time.”

”I’ll stay in the Martial Vault for half a month to help you comprehend the Sword Dao.”

Liu Qingxian blinked her eyes: ”You’ll help me? Heh~ Your ’Sword Heart Engraving’ hasn’t been cultivated as well as mine.”

Sword Heart Engraving was indeed taught by Jiang Fan to Liu Qingxian, but only Liu Qingxian learned the hidden sword moves.

In terms of Sword Dao, Jiang Fan may not necessarily be stronger than Liu Qingxian.

”That’s not necessarily true!” Jiang Fan smiled mysteriously.

The times have changed.

With the Fifth Domain, in comprehending new magic, he was unparalleled.

At this moment.

A paper sword formed by a sound wave flew from afar, judging by the weak strength of the sound wave, it must have been spreading for a while.

The paper sword hovered in front of Liu Qingxian.

”A messaging paper sword from Sword Central.” Liu Qingxian solemnly said, pointing at it, the paper sword shattered, and the sound wave transformed into a voice.

”Where are you?”

It was Jian Wuchou’s voice!

He was still searching for Liu Qingxian’s whereabouts, taking a chance and firing the paper swords in different directions.

Should Liu Qingxian escape, she could respond.

Liu Qingxian lightly furrowed her brow.

At the trading gathering, she put Jian Wuchou on the spot.

With Jian Wuchou’s temperament, he wouldn’t let her have it easy.

Jiang Fan saw her dilemma and said: ”Tell him, from now on he doesn’t have a say in your matters!”

With Fuyun Great Sage as Liu Qingxian’s Tao Guardian, what affair would involve Jian Wuchou?

Liu Qingxian smacked her lips and said: ”Wouldn’t that hurt him too much?”

Jiang Fan snorted: ”I’ll hurt his head!”

This clueless thing actually forbade Liu Qingxian from calling him husband!

Who does he think he is, daring to meddle in their couple’s affairs?

Liu Qingxian quickly said: ”Alright, alright, don’t be angry, I’ll send it.”

She obediently took out a similar paper sword and sent Jiang Fan’s words back verbatim.

Fuyun Great Sage rubbed his temples and said: ”Changing a Tao Guardian requires consulting with the Saint of Sword Central.”

”I’ll accompany you both to Sword Central.”

She was somewhat grateful for her decision to become Liu Qingxian’s Tao Guardian.

Otherwise, with Jiang Fan’s ruthlessness, he might secretly have Jian Wuchou dealt with.

The Martial Vault cannot afford to lose another in the Three Calamities Realm!
