Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 1250: Chapter 1254: Mortal Affinities

After a long pause, he pondered and said:

"A great reward is unnecessary; how could a junior disciple like me plead in front of my Martial Uncle?"

"You may follow, but how my Martial Uncle deals with you is beyond my control."

He secretly rolled his eyes.

If they truly wanted to thank him, they wouldn’t propose a reward afterward.

They merely wanted a free favor.

Wuyu Venerable became slightly anxious, could only grit his teeth slightly, and produced a small black stone carving.

It contained a powerful strike from a Divinity Transformation Venerable!

"Young friend, if you don’t mind, I offer you this Magical Treasure with a Divinity Transformation attack."

Jiang Fan was shaken inwardly.

The black stone carving before him was identical to the one seized from the White Bone Alliance Leader’s hands back then!

He probed, "Wuyu Venerable, does your alliance have a Soul Refining Venerable?"

Wuyu Venerable’s wolf-like eyes showed a hint of surprise: "You know him?"

Jiang Fan nodded, "I’ve met him."

Wuyu Venerable slightly relaxed upon learning they weren’t acquainted and lightly snorted:

"He had long since left our Demon Abyss."

Oh?

Jiang Fan’s eyes showed surprise: "Why?"

Wuyu Venerable’s face showed a trace of embarrassment, "He naturally found some backing outside, his wings have hardened."

"He was once a Nine Acupoints Nascent Soul of our Demon Abyss; he went insane and ran out, and when he returned, he had already reached the Venerable Realm."

"Given my understanding of him, he won’t wake up easily."

"He must have encountered a master outside."

Speaking of this, he looked coldly at the other five Demon Sect leaders, evidently suspecting them.

Jiang Fan’s eyes flashed with brilliance.

The so-called master must be that Asura Saint Son.

His strength had become unfathomable, able to guide a Nine Acupoints Nascent Soul into Divinity.

"If you meet him again, please inform me immediately."

Wuyu Venerable’s eyes showed a murderous glint: "That traitor not only left but also abducted another female Venerable from our Demon Abyss!"

"And stole our Demon Abyss’s treasure, the Replica Magic Eye, along with him!"

"I will definitely tear those bastards to pieces!"

Jiang Fan suddenly understood.

That female Venerable should be the Demoness, right?

They both betrayed the Demon Abyss and rudely took away the Replica Magic Eye.

However, they were unlucky.

They encountered Wang Chongxiao, a top-notch scoundrel, who tricked them out of the Magic Eye.

He looked at his own abdomen without showing any emotion, letting his gaze wander:

"As far as I know, among the two mysterious Venerables who entered the Forbidden Land this time, one is the Soul Refining Venerable."

What?

Wuyu Venerable’s eyes filled with killing intent: "He’d better be trapped in the Forbidden Land forever!"

"Otherwise, I’ll make him wish he were dead!"

"You’d better take care of yourself first!"

Another female Venerable at the Heavenly Human Two Declines cast a sidelong glance at him.

She appeared to be in her forties, wearing tight leather garments that displayed her distinct figure.

Her face was painted with bold makeup, still exuding charms.

She extended her snow-white arm, hooking Jiang Fan’s shoulder, exhaling fragrant breath:

"Young master, I am the Red Dust Venerable of the Ten Thousand Demon Cave."

"If you don’t mind, how about being a pair of ephemeral lovers with me?"

Then, her rosy lips approached.

"Venerable, I am not that kind of person!"

Jiang Fan declared righteously!

Red Dust Venerable giggled, sizing up Jiang Fan:

"Tsk tsk tsk, a truly upright man with so many female admirers."

"Regardless of what others believe, I, for one, am convinced."

Jiang Fan blushed deeply.

Could this Red Dust Venerable also see a person’s romantic fates?

The domains of Venerables are truly full of wonders!

"Ahem, there’s been a misunderstanding, Venerable. What virtue or ability do I have to attract so many fair ladies?"

Red Dust Venerable smirked slightly: "Don’t be humble."

"In your romantic fate, it begins with the Nascent Soul Realm."

"Oh! There’s even a female Venerable!"

She looked astonished, discovering a new continent.

Such a mere Five Apertures Nascent Soul connecting with a woman of the Divinity Transformation Realm!

"Wait a moment!"

Upon closer inspection, she discovered an unusual connection.

It was intermittent, distorted, and twisted.

And the other end of the connection was...

Just as she was about to continue observing, suddenly, her eyes hurt as if she had stumbled upon some terrifying taboo.

Blood spurted from her eyes suddenly!

She exclaimed in terror: "It’s ancient..."

Her mouth agape, yet unable to articulate as if an invisible force robbed her of speech.

The crowd watched her attempt to speak continuously.

Yet no sound could be uttered.

All five Demon Path Venerables were simultaneously shocked.

The once carefree Red Dust Venerable had faced inexplicable backlash in an instant!

Had she discovered some taboo?

Their gazes towards Jiang Fan finally bore a trace of fear.

No wonder he is the martial nephew of Venerate Wutong; he’s not someone ordinary Venerables can easily fathom.

Venerable Lianjing was also exceedingly curious.

Just looking into Jiang Fan’s romantic threads, why would it incur such a dreadful backlash?

This didn’t seem like something that a martial nephew undergoing the Heavenly Human Five Declines could cause.

Could there be an untouchable presence intertwined in his romantic fates?

Quite a while passed.

Only then did Red Dust Venerable recover, panting heavily, her face shrouded in lingering fear.

When she looked at Jiang Fan again, it was as if facing a fierce tiger, retreating hurriedly.

No longer daring to show the slightest trace of flirtation.

Wuyu Venerable was suspicious: "Red Dust, what did you see just now?"

How could Red Dust Venerable dare to say?

Just uttering "ancient" had brought an immediate warning!

Daring to speak further, she might ascend on the spot!

"No, nothing."

Red Dust Venerable hid her response: "Let’s not waste time; we should hurry to meet Venerate Wutong and beseech her to let us leave."

After a pause.

She drew two strands of black hair with her fingers and handed them to Jiang Fan:

"Young master, these strands contain my pure demonic qi."

"Find a quiet cave mansion, refine your body with this demonic qi, and it should help you break through to Sixth-stage Nascent Soul."

What?

All five Venerables were stunned.

Losing even a trace of pure demonic qi takes a long period of cultivation to recover.

And Red Dust Venerable was giving away a whole bunch?

Was she insane?

With the Ancient Giant’s descent imminent, losing pure demonic qi would weaken her strength.

To Red Dust Venerable, exchanging pure demonic qi for a connection with the man of an Ancient Saint was only a gain!

Though their connections were complex and unlikely to bear fruit.

But what if it blossoms and bears fruit?

Her gain would be a hundredfold!

Ecstatic beyond measure, Jiang Fan accepted it immediately, saying, "Thank you, Red Dust Venerable!"

Wuyu Venerable’s eyes flashed, and he also handed over the black stone carving: "Take this as well."

"Young friend, please put in a good word for us in front of Venerate Wutong."

Jiang Fan’s heart was filled with joy.

Venerate Wutong, look!

I didn’t extort them; they gave it willingly!

He wouldn’t be polite, accepting everything as offered.

"Alright, if there’s a chance, I’ll speak well for you."

Jiang Fan happily said, "Follow me then."

His visit was initially to plead for the six Demon Sect leaders.

Two opportunities were picked up for free, one could say.

All six Demon Path Venerables bore anxious expressions as they followed Jiang Fan along the path.

An hour later.

The path still seemed endless.

Even Jiang Fan couldn’t help but feel anxious; could this path actually lead to Venerate Wutong?

If not, he would have received grand gifts from Lianjing, Red Dust, and Wuyu Venerables in vain!

Fortunately, just at this moment.

Venerable Lianjing suddenly stopped, her charming eyes lightly trembling, staring intently at the end of the path.
