"I summoned Jiang Fan, yet you stopped him."
"Do you think the words of this Vice Pavilion Master are ineffective?"
Majestic, chilling, and slightly angry words spread throughout the venue.
Kong Yuanba trembled slightly.
After a flash of unwillingness and struggle in his eyes, he dispersed the power in his palm.
Raising his hand to cup his fist, he said, "I wouldn’t dare."
He coldly glared at Jiang Fan.
Then fiercely glared at Li Qingfeng.
Unwillingly stepped aside out of the way.
The elders behind him also very reluctantly made way.
Jiang Fan chuckled, "Thanks."
"A good dog doesn’t block the way."
The members of the Giant Sect glared fiercely.
Sheltered by Ye Cangyuan, this little brat is lawless!
Li Qingfeng laughed heartily, "Well said!"
In front of all the powerful members of the Giant Sect, Jiang Fan still displayed fearless courage.
Within the Nine-Sect, who has such a youngster?
He sheathed his sword and stepped forward.
Grasped his arm, squeezed it hard, and said, "You’ve grown stronger."
"But your face is thinner."
"You must have suffered a lot, haven’t you?"
As he spoke, his old eyes already clouded.
His voice began to tremble slightly.
Jiang Fan’s disappearance undoubtedly dealt the heaviest blow to the Green Cloud Sect.
The newly rising star abruptly fell.
Li Qingfeng even personally brought Jiang Fan from Lonely Boat City to the Green Cloud Sect.
It can be said that he witnessed from beginning to end how Jiang Fan grew step by step from an orphan living under others’ roofs to where he is now.
One can imagine his feelings.
Jiang Fan said apologetically, "I made Elder Li worry."
Li Qingfeng quickly wiped away his tears, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"It was us who didn’t protect you well, why are you apologizing?"
He looked Jiang Fan up and down to confirm he hadn’t lost a single hair.
His face couldn’t help but show an expression of joy.
"Heaven bless indeed."
"To let you return alive from the Demon Race!"
"I was just tending to Elder Zhao at the foot of the mountain and heard people say you’d returned."
"I thought they were tricking me."
"I didn’t expect... it was really you..."
As he spoke, his eyes again welled up with old tears that fell.
With Jiang Fan missing and not returning.
The once rising Green Cloud Sect fell from grace.
It’s inevitable that some jealous people would take the opportunity to mock them.
They don’t know how many rumors they’ve heard saying Jiang Fan had returned.
Tricking them again and again to go watch foolishly at Boundary Mountain, being laughed at by others.
Laughing at them for being delusional.
Still thinking about Jiang Fan returning alive.
Li Qingfeng still thought it was a trick.
With a glimmer of luck, he came to take a look.
What if it really was Jiang Fan?
That he really saw Jiang Fan!
So much so that when Jiang Fan was being troubled by the Giant Sect, it took him a while to come back to his senses.
A warm current flowed through Jiang Fan’s heart.
"Not only have I returned, but I’ve also brought some surprises for everyone."
"By the way, where is the Sect Master? And where are the others?"
Why do I only see Li Qingfeng?
Li Qingfeng wiped away the old tears with his sleeve, saying:
"The Sect Master, the Supreme Elder, the elders, and the elite disciples of the sect."
"All this month, have been seeking your trace within the Demon Race’s territory."
"Here, only I, Xu Yining, and Elder Zhao are left."
Jiang Fan’s heart tightened.
Could they be in danger?
Right now, when the Demon Emperor is leading troops south.
But then he relaxed with a turn of mind.
If the Demon Race had truly slaughtered so many strong members of the Green Cloud Sect, it would be impossible for there to be no news.
Jiang Fan said in surprise, "You just mentioned taking care of Elder Zhao?"
"Wasn’t Elder Zhao’s injury cured by Concubine Yunxia?"
At the time, Zhao Wuji’s fatal injury was indeed healed by Concubine Yunxia with her Nine-Tails.
So long has passed, why hasn’t it healed?
Li Qingfeng sighed, "He fell ill from self-blame."
"He feels he burdened you."
Jiang Fan sighed silently and said, "Elder Zhao is overthinking."
"I’ll meet with Vice Pavilion Master Ye first."
"I’ll go with you to see him later."
Li Qingfeng nodded, his face full of joy.
Seeing Jiang Fan return, Zhao Wuji’s illness might immediately improve.
Under everyone’s watchful gaze.
Jiang Fan stepped into the tent.
Ye Cangyuan sat at the desk in front of the case, a trace of a smile appeared on his stern face.
"It’s a miracle that you’re still alive."
"If not for the Pavilion Master personally sending a message, I wouldn’t have believed you’d survive for so long."
Jiang Fan chuckled lightly, "Just lucky."
His gaze shifted slightly.
Jiang Fan said, "May I ask Vice Pavilion Master Ye, who informed the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master that I was not dead and appeared in the northernmost part of the Demon Race?"
Jiang Fan always thought it was Qin Wangchuan and several Supreme Elders who informed him.
But, they’re still on their way back now.
It clearly wasn’t them.
"Could it be the Demon Priest Spirit Sound?" Jiang Fan asked tentatively.
This woman, perhaps to protect her daughter Demon Moon.
To prevent Jiang Fan’s death from implicating Demon Moon.
She wouldn’t hesitate to set a trap for Concubine Yunxia.
She notifying the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master is quite possible.
Ye Cangyuan firmly denied, "How could our Pavilion Master have contact with a Demon Priest?"
"The person is a high figure within the Demon Race."
"As for who it is, don’t ask anymore."
In the Demon Race, who would help the Human Clan?
Although they are dissatisfied with the Sky Demon Emperor, they would never defect to the Human Clan.
However, hearing Ye Cangyuan’s tone, this is confidential.
He couldn’t delve further, cupping his hands, he said:
"May I ask what decree does the Pavilion Master have for me?"
"I will certainly do my best to carry it out."
Ye Cangyuan smiled slightly, "No need to be tense."
"The Pavilion Master only needs your assistance in translating a document."
He took out a peculiar bronze artifact.
It was an unknown fearsome beast.
Its maw gaped wide, brimming with fangs, its glance being fiercely intense.
Its body covered in scales, each one with sinister barbs.
Limbs with hooves, burning with blood-red clouds of fire.
Even though it was merely a bronze statue, at first glance, Jiang Fan felt a sense of dread.
Ye Cangyuan said gravely, "Hell Beast."
Jiang Fan’s pupils contracted.
The Hell Beast sealed in the Tiger Demon Emperor’s Mansion?
This is its true form?
At the time, what was seen was merely a claw it extended.
"What is a Hell Beast?"
Jiang Fan looked puzzled.
Ye Cangyuan’s expression turned equally heavy, he said:
"There is very little historical record."
"The last record about it was before ancient times."
"It seemed to appear out of thin air on the Continent, with no traceable origin."
"But shortly after it appeared, Ancient Giants mysteriously arrived."
"When the war of Ancient Giants ended, people found the Hell Beast had disappeared."
Ye Cangyuan showed a hint of fear.
"After a thousand years, it has appeared again."
Jiang Fan understood the fear in Ye Cangyuan’s eyes.
Sucking in a cold breath, he said, "Vice Pavilion Master Ye means to say..."
"Hell Beast is a forewarning sign of the Ancient Giants’ arrival?"
