Jiang Fan looked at Hua Xin, whose hair was disheveled and who was seething with anger.
"Sister Hua Xin, so you are proficient in Human Clan, Demon Race, and Hell Language."
"Why didn’t you mention it earlier?"
"Your younger brother is eager to learn and progress. Could you also teach me?"
Though she had muted herself.
But watching her mouth movements, it was clear that her furious words were not pleasant.
"Ahem, there’s plenty of time in the future."
"We can sit down and talk at length some other day."
What answered him was the Ghost Soul Crystal humming as it was being pounded.
And countless unheard murmurs of "shameless" that Jiang Fan couldn’t hear.
At this moment, a whimper came from the pack of dogs.
The Double-headed Hellhound below him walked over.
It found a companion whose neck had been bitten off by a boar, bleeding profusely.
Although its tail was still wagging slightly, it was at the end of its strength.
A pack of Double-headed Hellhounds surrounded it, whimpering incessantly.
The Double-headed Hellhound beneath him also lowered its head, its body trembling with sorrow.
Jiang Fan sighed slightly.
He jumped down off the dog’s back.
His presence made the other Double-headed Hellhounds instantly become fiercely aggressive.
Jiang Fan took out the Hell Soul Bell and shook it.
The Double-headed Hellhounds immediately calmed down and wagged their tails at Jiang Fan.
They made humming noises.
Seemingly happy at Jiang Fan’s arrival and also sad for their lost companion.
Jiang Fan walked up to the dying Double-headed Hellhound.
He took out two Revitalizing Pills and stuffed one into each dog’s mouth.
The Double-headed Hellhound, on its last legs, gradually regained its sparkle in its eyes.
The surrounding Double-headed Hellhounds immediately barked joyfully.
Several even wagged their tails continuously at Jiang Fan.
At this time, a Double-headed Hellhound stirred inside the boar’s gut.
Finally, it fetched a blood-red orb, the size of a human head, and placed it in front of Jiang Fan.
Jiang Fan immediately sensed the Karmic Fire of Asura permeating it.
It was more than ten times stronger than the one he had refined before.
Jiang Fan was overjoyed!
The First Layer of the "Qian Lan True Fire Technique" could progress from Small Success to Great Success!
"Thank you!" Jiang Fan cupped his hands in gratitude.
He grabbed the orb and jumped onto the dog’s back, promptly making use of the time to absorb the Karmic Fire of Asura contained in it.
The Double-headed Hellhound below him joyously howled up to the sky.
Of the surrounding Double-headed Hellhounds, one stayed back to care for the injured one.
The rest accompanied him to escort Jiang Fan to the Transmission Array.
A mountain a hundred miles from the Transmission Array.
Qian Lan Fairy shot out azure-blue flames from her palm, toppling a massive black scorpion brimming with fierce aura to the ground.
She had a slight smile on her face.
"Junior Brother Tianzhou, this Tenth Layer isn’t so difficult, right?"
"The three of us, in less than a day, have successfully opened up an area spanning ten miles."
"Our merit has already far exceeded a hundred thousand, right?"
The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master also repelled a hell creature that didn’t even have a Nascent Soul.
He furrowed his brows slightly.
Looking at the mountain underfoot, he said, "This mountain is named Black Reef."
"Once inhabited by a five-aperture hell creature, strangely it is nowhere to be found today."
"Moreover, the hell creatures along the way are very sparse, not even a third of the initial number."
Yun Huo frowned and said, "Could it be like the Black Crystal on the Ninth Layer?"
"Also affected by the Connecting Sky Black Pillar?"
The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master pondered, "The reason is unknown."
"But that’s just as well, we can hasten our exploration of the surrounding area to try to find traces of the Ancient Saint."
Just after he finished speaking.
"You don’t have to look anymore."
Kui Xing coldly looked at the trio before him.
He was slightly puzzled.
The Asura King didn’t say that he wanted to wipe out everyone who came in?
Why hasn’t the Asura King arrived when I’m already here at the Transmission Array?
He squinted his eyes and evaluated the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master: "You can also use Thunder Dao Divine Power?"
"Come with me, I’ll take you to a place!"
The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master looked at the pair of sharp horns atop the other’s head, his expression stern.
"It’s been over a thousand years, yet there’s still a living one!"
Qian Lan Fairy and Yun Huo’s expressions changed subtly, quietly positioning themselves to the sides of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master.
"Senior Brother Yun Huo, this Asura Alien Race is here for Junior Brother Tianzhou."
"You take him and leave first."
"I’ll cover your rear."
This wasn’t said by Yun Huo.
But by Qian Lan Fairy, who was usually the most harsh towards the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master.
The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master paused for a moment, clearly surprised as well, and said, "Senior Sister Qian Lan, you..."
Qian Lan Fairy said with no emotion: "Enough talk!"
Yun Huo, the one who understood the most, sighed gently and said:
"Junior Brother Tianzhou, you were too focused on the Martial Path back then."
"You missed out on some people."
The great resentment Qian Lan Fairy harbors towards Yun Tianzhou was never about the Pavilion Master position.
The position was a shackle.
Qian Lan Fairy wasn’t unaware.
The reason for her irrational behavior was merely an excuse to vent her long-held grudge.
Once, Qian Lan Fairy’s feelings for Junior Brother Yun Tianzhou were clear even to an observer like Yun Huo.
Unfortunately, Yun Tianzhou was solely focused on the Martial Path.
He never picked up on the numerous hints from Qian Lan Fairy.
For a time, Qian Lan Fairy felt that Yun Tianzhou, being highly talented, disregarded her.
Thus it fostered resentment in her heart.
These years, she diligently trained, always wanting to surpass him in martial arts.
And now she has finally surpassed him.
Yet all she can do is make a few sarcastic remarks.
Now, seeing Yun Tianzhou in trouble, she is more anxious than anyone.
"Say one more word, and I’ll burn your tongue off!"
Qian Lan Fairy stomped her foot, glaring in embarrassment and annoyance at the talkative Yun Huo.
The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master was briefly taken aback, then offered a bitter smile.
"Then I have really missed out."
He didn’t leave; instead, he mustered all his Nascent Soul Power and took out a palm-sized pavilion.
It was divided into ten layers in total.
The bottom ten layers were broken.
Originally, there should be more below.
But it was destroyed violently by some force.
"Although I can control only a small portion of the Tenth Layer, it can still boost combat power somewhat."
"It’s rare that the three senior and junior brothers and sisters have reunited at the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion."
"Why don’t we join forces in battle!"
Seeing the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master bring out this pavilion.
Qian Lan Fairy no longer tried to persuade.
With blue flames swirling in her palm, she was the first to charge: "Dare to harm my Junior Brother, first see if I agree!"
Yun Huo followed closely, his body surging with azure flames.
The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master sent out seal techniques towards the pavilion.
Space barriers suddenly appeared, locking Kui Xing in place, restricting his movements.
Kui Xing chuckled, gazing at the broken pavilion:
"I wondered who it was, turns out it’s this generation’s Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master."
"Quite coincidentally, I also have something quite similar to yours."
He took out a fragment of the base of a building.
From the break, it seemed.
It could perfectly connect with the one in the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master’s hand.
The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master’s expression changed.
"You are the Seventh Alien Race who escaped hundreds of years ago?"
This pavilion was a Magic Artifact that controlled the space barriers of the Underworld.
It was personally crafted by an Ancient Saint.
Hundreds of years ago, the then Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master fortuitously encountered a mysterious strong Asura Clan member on the Eighth Layer and was sneak-attacked.
Not only did he suffer serious injuries, but this Magic Artifact was damaged and a piece was snatched by the adversary.
Seeing the adversary produce this item.
The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master immediately discerned his identity!
Looking at Yun Huo and Qian Lan Fairy pressing forward.
His expression changed and he shouted: "Come back!"
"The Magic Artifact he holds can better control the Tenth Layer’s barrier!"
