Chapter 324: Chapter 324 The Unlucky Daughter of the Demon Emperor
Ling Guihai was certainly hateful.
But these female disciples who assisted him were even more hateful!
In broad daylight, they actually abducted someone!
If he hadn’t returned in time, wouldn’t Xu Yining have fallen into their hands?
And this was right at the foot of Myriad Swords Sect’s mountain!
It’s unbelievable that such a thing could happen!
Ling Guihai was both shocked and furious, shouting, “How dare you attack a disciple of Myriad Swords Sect?!”
Jiang Fan coldly snorted and said loudly, “Where do you ragtags come from, daring to impersonate Myriad Swords Sect disciples?”
“In broad daylight, openly abducting women!”
“Are you not putting Myriad Swords Sect in your eyes?”
He deliberately raised his voice.
It attracted the attention of passersby, who all looked over in shock.
At first, they thought it was a playful squabble, but it turned out to be bandits kidnapping women?
And they dared to impersonate Myriad Swords Sect disciples?
Were they looking for death?
Several martial artists with considerable skill rolled up their sleeves and started walking over.
Ling Guihai’s face froze, and he hurriedly shouted, “Who is impersonating? I am Ling Guihai, a disciple under the Myriad Swords Sect Master!”
“This is my identity token!”
He held up the token high, showing it to everyone around.
Jiang Fan appeared to understand, “So, you really are a disciple under the Myriad Swords Sect Master.”
“What, did your master teach you to forcibly take women in broad daylight?”
He kept putting unbearable accusations on him.
Who could stand this?
Ling Guihai was both angry and annoyed, saying, “Nonsense! I was just inviting this junior sister to visit Myriad Swords Sect!”
At this moment, Xu Yining broke free.
She hurriedly ran back to Jiang Fan’s side, tightly holding his arm, showing a frightened look, and said,
“I don’t want to go with you!”
“You… you were dragging me away.”
“Heaven knows what you want by taking me!”
As the victim, her words carried the most weight.
Her few sentences completely ignited the anger of the onlookers.
“Outrageous! The leading disciple of Myriad Swords Sect, forcibly taking a woman in public?”
“Is there any justice left?”
“If they dare to treat a female disciple of Green Cloud Sect , what about the women from aristocratic families or loose cultivators like us? Wouldn’t we be in even greater danger?”
“I’ll go ask the Myriad Swords Sect Master how he teaches his disciples right now!”
Nowadays, the surrounding area of Myriad Swords Sect had a considerable number of Outer Sect members.
Including some senior experts from various sects.
They couldn’t tolerate Myriad Swords Sect disciples bullying their younger generation just because they were in their territory.
This made Ling Guihai’s face twitch, and he hurriedly explained, “It’s not like that!”
“It really isn’t like that, I just wanted to invite this junior sister to Myriad Swords Sect!”
“The Sect Leader, the elders, the Supreme Elder, they were all watching, how could I dare to have ill intentions toward her?”
He felt that he was truly wronged!
But the crowd didn’t care.
“Who knows what you plan to do with her after taking her?”
“Now that you’ve been found out, of course, you’ll say that. If you weren’t discovered, wouldn’t this female disciple have fallen into the tiger’s den?”
“No matter what you say, abducting someone means you have ill intentions!”
“Let’s go! Together, let’s demand an explanation from Myriad Swords Sect!”
Many martial artists formed groups and headed toward Myriad Swords Sect together.
Seeing things had come to this, Ling Guihai regretted endlessly.
He thought this junior sister from Green Cloud Sect was an easily bullied soft target.
But who knew her partner would be so tricky?
With a few sharp words, he put an enormous and unbearable label on him.
He couldn’t escape a thorough scolding!
Thinking of this, he angrily glared at Jiang Fan:
“If you have the guts, don’t come to Myriad Swords Sect, or I’ll make you pay!”
He wanted to take revenge immediately, to harshly teach Jiang Fan a lesson.
But, all the onlookers were glaring at him.
If he made a move, there would be plenty of people to help Jiang Fan.
Moreover, a large group of people was heading to Myriad Swords Sect to make complaints, how could he dare to delay?
Leaving these harsh words, he stormed off in anger.
Seeing his embarrassed escape, Xu Yining couldn’t help but laugh, playfully saying, “How did I do just now?”
If it weren’t for her few cries as the victim, the onlookers wouldn’t have been so angry.
Jiang Fan rubbed his nose, not expecting the always serious Xu Yining to have such a teasing side.
He coughed lightly and said, “You’re still laughing.”
“Didn’t you hear his threat, saying he’d make us pay in Sword Forest?”
Xu Yining pouted, “He can’t even protect himself right now, how could he have the chance to take revenge on us?”
“Moreover…” Her beautiful eyes focused on Jiang Fan, feeling a great sense of security. “Isn’t there still you?”
She had already lost count of how many times No.1 Shadow Guard had saved her.
Each time, she came out unscathed.
It gave her a sort of illusion.
As long as he was there, she felt at ease.
Jiang Fan, speechless, said, “It’s better to find a place to help you improve your strength.”
“By enhancing yourself, you will have more ability to protect yourself.”
The two arrived at an inn in the city.
Jiang Fan first helped her understand Elder Ling Jinghu’s mental method.
Then he further assisted her with the movement technique, “Solitary Wild Goose Shadow.” With her existing foundation in movement techniques and Jiang Fan’s careful guidance, she successfully cultivated its first layer.
As for attack techniques, Jiang Fan couldn’t decide for the moment.
The few sets of Earth-level techniques he cultivated were either too difficult or risked exposing his identity.
The others lacked sufficient power.
He could only put it aside temporarily, waiting to find a suitable technique before teaching it to Xu Yining.
After Xu Yining settled into meditation and cultivation,
Jiang Fan returned to his room, closed the doors and windows tightly.
He took out the “Nine Poison True Scripture” for insight. As an Earth-level mid-tier technique,
Even Jiang Fan found it difficult to comprehend.
Several hours later, he showed a look of admiration, saying, “The senior who created this technique is truly a genius.”
“They actually imitated poisonous demon beasts to create a poison pill.”
“When not in use, the poison pill can absorb the poison in the body, making one immune to all poisons.”
“When in use, the poison pill releases a large amount of poison, integrating into spiritual power to inflict poison damage on the enemy.”
“It can be considered an all-in-one for offense and defense.”
The technique was comprehended.
Next was to ingest the deadly poison.
He took out the Poison Dragon Bone Marrow. The intense poison made him feel dizzy just from the jade bottle.
Showing how toxic it was.
Swallowing a whole bottle should easily help cultivate the first layer.
But directly swallowing it would be a waste.
Refining it into a spirit pill would better retain its toxicity.
“But, refining this pill here, would that be a problem?”
Jiang Fan was somewhat worried.
After all, this was Poison Dragon Bone Marrow.
During the refining process, some pill fragrance would inevitably escape.
And within the fragrance, there would be some poison.
If someone smelled it, it could cause fatalities.
Being in a bustling city center, he couldn’t afford to be careless.
He decisively left the inn, heading to a desolate corner in the north of the city, settling in an abandoned temple.
After making sure there was no one around, he started refining the poison pill.
It wasn’t clear how much time had passed.
Outside the temple, a figure dressed in red, covered in dirt, emerged slyly from underground.
She yawned and stretched.
“It’s really hard to get used to the diurnal lifestyle of humans.”
After several days living among humans, she hadn’t been able to sleep during the day.
After entering the city today, she decisively found a desolate place where no one would come, and had a good nap.
Looking at the vast night sky, as a demon beast, she felt extremely comfortable.
“Now, let’s check out how many elite disciples have come from the Nine-Sect.”
“Tomorrow at Sword Forest, I’ll give them a complete massacre, haha!”
Just as she was muttering to herself,
suddenly, from the dilapidated temple behind her, a burst of fire shot up to the sky.
A purple-black stream formed a beam and rushed into the sky.
She was stunned, “What is that?”
“Someone in the temple?”
She silently crept up to the temple gate.
With a glance, she saw, below a broken Buddha statue,
a somewhat familiar figure was surrounding a small pill furnace.
“Is this alchemy?” She recognized that this was a human Soul Master refining pills.
“I’ve heard that human spirit pills have unique properties.”
“Many of them are greatly beneficial to demon beasts.”
Thinking of this, she quietly moved closer.
Who knew, at this moment,
the stream of air that had surged towards the sky suddenly spread out in all directions.
She couldn’t avoid it and was engulfed by the air stream.
A strong poison seeped into her body through her nose and mouth.
Intense dizziness swept over her.
She blinked in confusion, saying,
“I’ve been poisoned?”
“Why would someone be refining a poison pill in the middle of the night?”
“I was just passing by, curious to take a look…”
Her vision blacked out.
She fell straight down.
