They... were captured by people from the Outer Realm!
Jiang Fan showed a trace of disgust.
This Outer Realm Divine Sect, they never do a single good deed, but never miss a chance to do wrong.
The Sea Charm was taken aback and said, "Is this true?"
"Where were they taken?"
But Jiang Fan waved his hand and said, "Don’t worry."
"Just because they’re missing doesn’t necessarily mean they’ve been captured."
Wang Chongxiao listened and showed a look of surprise.
He couldn’t help but scrutinize Jiang Fan:
"Brother Lu, do you know a lot about the Silver Fox Tribe?"
Jiang Fan said, "I don’t know much about the Silver Fox Tribe, but I know their tribeswoman, Concubine Yunxia."
"Those who attempted to capture the Silver Fox Tribe paid a heavy price, didn’t they?"
He couldn’t speak for others.
But is Concubine Yunxia’s tribe so easy to provoke?
Unless there’s someone in the Nascent Soul Realm among them; otherwise, it’s uncertain who would capture whom.
Wang Chongxiao clicked his tongue, "Is this Concubine Yunxia so powerful?"
"No wonder Jiangshan First-class Building suffered heavy casualties."
"In the end, they only captured two or three insignificant Silver Fox clansmen."
Jiangshan First-class Building?
It seems that many forces have descended on the continent to slay the Ancient Giant.
Thoughts returned to the present.
Jiang Fan’s eyes were still filled with murderous intent, "I’m sorry, but I’m not interested in capturing the Silver Fox Tribe."
"There’s no valid reason to spare you."
The Sea Charm held nothing back.
She struck a blow at Wang Chongxiao’s body.
However, the feeling of a solid hit did not come.
Before her eyes, Wang Chongxiao had turned into a mass of Yin Qi and exploded!
A small Iron Man, about the size of a palm, intricately carved with strange inscriptions, was all that was left on the ground!
"A substitute puppet?" Jiang Fan recognized it at a glance.
This was similar to Wu Manyue’s substitute Jade People.
It turned out Wang Chongxiao hadn’t been sitting idle.
He had used the conversation as a chance to divert everyone’s attention.
He secretly activated the substitute puppet.
The Sea Charm angrily said, "Damn it!"
"He actually fooled me!"
She leaped to give chase out of the cave.
Jiang Fan wasn’t too surprised.
After all, the opponent was a disciple of a major Outer Realm sect and quite cunning.
How could he not have some life-saving divine skills?
"Ling Shu, bring that Iron Man here for me to see."
"Don’t touch it with your hands."
Jiang Fan was staring at the substitute puppet, curious about the patterns on it.
Ling Shu wrapped it in a handkerchief and brought it before Jiang Fan.
"What are the inscriptions on it?"
"Why do they make me feel dizzy just by looking at them?"
She put down the small Iron Man and also looked at it curiously.
Just a few glances made her feel uncomfortable.
Jiang Fan looked surprised: "It’s the Yin Corpse Refining Technique."
From Ling Shu’s perspective, the inscriptions were complex and hard to discern, making one feel dizzy.
But in Jiang Fan’s eyes, these inscriptions twisted into different characters.
Upon careful reading, it turned out to be the Yin Corpse Refining Technique.
Without a doubt, the inscriptions were carved with Soul Power.
They were meant to prevent easy deciphering by others.
Just like the Thunder Extension Order.
If one hadn’t cultivated the Thunder Path to a certain level, there was no way to glimpse the techniques inscribed on it.
Ling Shu was so surprised she couldn’t close her mouth, "Isn’t that the Great Yin Sect’s secret forbidden technique?"
"Wang Chongxiao was willing to use it as a means of escape?"
Jiang Fan was also entirely unexpected.
He was merely curious about what the inscriptions were.
Unexpectedly, he discovered a huge secret.
He immediately read it carefully.
By the time he memorized it all, the Sea Charm returned empty-handed.
She looked embarrassed, "Master, I’m useless. I let him escape."
Jiang Fan put the Iron Man away and said with some deeper meaning, "He will come to find me."
Such an important Iron Man, the Great Yin Sect wouldn’t allow it to be lost in the outside world, would they?
Before long, Wang Chongxiao’s elders would come looking for Jiang Fan.
"Alright, let’s all sit down and cultivate."
"The outside world is in chaos right now, so we’ll hide here until the Outer Realm Divine Sect members leave."
It’s easy to imagine just how chaotic it is outside by now.
Better to stay safe and avoid the chaos.
Fortunately, the spiritual energy and demon energy here were abundant, making it an excellent hiding place.
A spiritual energy cloud revolved around Jiang Fan, forming a cloud of spiritual energy hovering above his head.
While cultivating nearby, Ling Shu opened her eyes feeling something.
She looked surprised.
"Huh! The spiritual energy in this place is completely gone?"
"Did brother absorb it all?"
"That’s too exaggerated, right?"
Ling Shu opened her mouth wide in shock.
The same demon energy, it took her seven days to extract only a tenth.
What kind of powerful Spirit Root could absorb the spiritual energy as cleanly as a dog licking a food bowl?
She then looked at Jiang Fan, showing an incredulous expression:
"Ten days ago, he just broke through to the Fourth Level of Core Formation."
"In the blink of an eye, he’s about to break through to the Fifth Level."
"Sea Charm Demon King, have you seen a Human Clan member cultivate so quickly?"
The Sea Charm, likewise shocked, clicked her tongue and said:
"Never even heard of it!"
"At the Core Formation Realm, breaking through a layer in a month is already considered being an exceptionally talented prodigy."
"Breaking through a realm in ten days is unheard of!"
Ling Shu’s eyes sparkled with bright lights: "Brother truly is a dragon among men."
The Black Sea Charm nodded slightly, "Isn’t that much talent worth mentioning?"
"Previously, during the blood robe crisis, he could have escaped on his own without caring about us."
"Yet, he almost risked his own life to save us."
"You and I, one his slave, and the other an acquaintance from a different race."
"In this world, besides him, you won’t find a second person this ’foolish.’
Ling Shu lowered her head.
She treated Jiang Fan well to make him happy.
To obtain that liquid that allowed Liu Li to break through from the Fifth Level to the Seventh Level of Core Formation overnight.
It wasn’t out of true sincerity.
Yet, Jiang Fan risked his life for her.
"Brother... so stupid."
She whispered softly, her gaze towards Jiang Fan carrying a newfound tenderness.
A stone rolled down the stairs at the entrance with a constant clicking sound.
The sound was not loud.
But in the spacious underground world, it resounded clearly.
The Sea Charm shot her gaze over like lightning.
Ling Shu also instantly became vigilant.
At this crucial moment when Jiang Fan was breaking through.
He couldn’t be disturbed by anyone.
A luxuriously dressed young man descended the stairs with a face full of apology.
He looked fearfully at the Sea Charm, repeatedly clasping his hands, "I’m sorry, I came here by accident."
The Sea Charm unleashed her overwhelming demon power, saying coldly:
"Leave at once, and I’ll believe you mean no harm!"
The luxuriously dressed young man looked distressed and said, "Senior of the Demon Race."
"The Ancient Giant has fought its way nearby, and several experts from the Divine Sect are battling it fiercely."
"It’s extremely dangerous outside."
"Please allow me to take shelter for a while."
The Sea Charm and Ling Shu both showed shocked expressions.
Nascent Soul experts from the Outer Realm Divine Sect were pursuing the Ancient Giant and happened to be hunting it down here?
The two of them couldn’t make up their minds for a moment.
They cast their gaze towards Jiang Fan.
Jiang Fan didn’t even open his eyes as he said indifferently:
"Hiding here alone, there’s no problem."
"The problem is... are you alone?"
