Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 1023: Chapter 1023: A Visitor from the White Bone Alliance

In the Martial Arts Arena, several prodigies from various sects had already arrived.

Among them, Jiang Fan actually recognized someone.

"Junior Brother Jiang!" A charming call came through.

Jiang Fan turned his gaze, noticing it was a familiar face, Yu Peiyuan, who was exchanging words with a few elite disciples of the Heaven and Sea Pavilion.

Upon glancing at Jiang Fan approaching, she initially froze, then immediately ran over with visible delight in her eyes.

"Why are you here too?"

Jiang Fan smiled and said, "Just came to take a look. Did you come together with your master, Qi Yin Master?"

Yu Peiyuan’s smile stiffened, embarrassed as she said, "My master no longer pays attention to me."

Oh?

Jiang Fan was surprised, and only then did he perceive the faint Nascent Soul aura within Yu Peiyuan, understanding the reason.

Yu Peiyuan had failed her tribulation.

Qi Yin Master had given her the sole opportunity for the tribulation, but she hadn’t succeeded in forming a Nascent Soul.

Qi Yin Master was inevitably disappointed.

"Victory isn’t constant, keep trying," Jiang Fan comforted her with a pat on the shoulder.

Yu Peiyuan sighed bitterly, "How will I have another chance?"

"It’s not easy for my master to collect an opportunity for a tribulation, and there are so many disciples under him waiting for their turn."

"It won’t come to me again; the Left Dao Nascent Soul will be the end of my life."

"It’s just a pity that I wasted Junior Brother Jiang’s blue seed and that fifth-grade Spirit Pill to enhance Nascent Soul cultivation."

She sighed deeply, a look of inextinguishable regret in her eyes.

Each opportunity for a tribulation is precious; many people go their entire lives without getting a chance.

Succeeding in trying once puts her ahead of most.

Trying again, within a few years, would hardly be considered by Qi Yin Master.

Jiang Fan pondered slightly and said, "Don’t rush, continue preparing for the tribulation."

"In the future, if there’s a chance, I’ll let you try again."

Fairy Yun Shang gained the Heavenly Fox bloodline largely thanks to Yu Peiyuan’s precious Sixth Grade Ancestor Returning Pill.

Waiting until there are leftover Sky Ascending Pills in hand, giving her one wouldn’t be too late.

Yu Peiyuan took it as mere comfort, smiling bitterly, "Thank you, Junior Brother Jiang."

"By the way, where’s your seat?"

"If it’s far back, why not join us at the Heaven and Sea Pavilion?"

Just as the words fell.

A leading disciple of the Heaven and Sea Pavilion walked over, issuing a mild reprimand:

"Junior Sister Yu, do not be disrespectful to Senior."

He was a One-Orifice Nascent Soul, naturally sensing the surging Nascent Soul Power within Jiang Fan.

Immediately, he spoke up to stop Yu Peiyuan.

Senior?

Yu Peiyuan gasped, "Junior Brother Jiang, did you succeed in your tribulation?"

Jiang Fan nodded, "By sheer luck, yes."

Yu Peiyuan felt a pang of discomfort, as the once young disciple from the Divinity Transformation Relics had now become a Nascent Soul Senior.

"Senior Tyrant."

Following close behind, Hua Wuying saw Jiang Fan and Yu Peiyuan in conversation from afar; her pretty face tightened as she approached, saying, "Senior, please take your seat."

"The exchange will begin soon."

She flashed her wristband, number nine.

Her seat was right behind Jiang Fan’s.

Jiang Fan cupped his hands toward Yu Peiyuan, "We’ll talk later."

After Hua Wuying walked away, she glanced back at Yu Peiyuan and whispered:

"Senior, you shouldn’t stay too close to Yu Peiyuan."

"She’s in league with that wicked Jiang Fan!"

Yu Peiyuan stood still, plunged into deep thought.

Talking to Jiang Fan while calling him a villain?

Hua Wuying seemed to be playing at something new.

"Junior Sister Yu, who is that person?"

The lead disciple of the Heaven and Sea Pavilion walked over, looking at Yu Peiyuan with a hint of surprise:

"Since when did you know such a prominent figure?"

Yu Peiyuan was stunned.

Prominent figure?

This self-assured Ma Qingyan, who considered himself one of the five mythical prodigies of Taicang State, actually rated Jiang Fan this way?

It wasn’t until she saw Jiang Fan’s seating that she was taken aback completely.

He had the number one seat!

While Ma Qingyan was only number four.

Yu Peiyuan was utterly confused; was Jiang Fan really capable of outshining all prodigies present to sit in the number one seat?

She blankly said, "This... is my friend."

Seeing Yu Peiyuan reluctant to reveal much, Ma Qingyan didn’t press the matter, merely commenting, "You do have quite the connections."

"Always knowing people who are full of surprises."

"Alright, let’s take our seats."

"We only await Feng Yuan Sect and a few prodigies to begin the discussion."

"As someone who has received help from Jiang Fan, you need to voice more criticisms against him to sever ties."

Yu Peiyuan nodded instinctively.

Then suddenly came to a realization.

Wait!

Isn’t Jiang Fan present?

Do they really plan to denounce him?

Watching Jiang Fan comfortably seated in the first position, she felt anxious for everyone.

A cup of tea later.

Most of the invited participants had arrived.

Except for Feng Yuan Sect.

"I’m only number two? Yun Che, what’s going on?"

At the entrance, came the irate voice of Feng Yuan Sect.

As the performance was strongest on the Heavenly Ascending Ancient Road, the prodigy of Taicang State.

Then, having just broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm.

His strength was undeniable.

Sitting comfortably in the number one seat should have been without dispute.

Yun Che replied aggrievedly, "Senior Feng, the wristbands automatically arranged the seating, what can I do about it?"

Feng Yuan Sect scoffed furiously, "I must see who this person is occupying my seat."

He was already brooding over the Jade Paper Heavenly Book matter.

Yet someone dared to crash into him.

He stormed into the Martial Arts Arena, heading straight for the number one seat.

"You, get up!"

He pointed at Jiang Fan.

At that moment, Jiang Fan was engrossed in the Jade Scroll’s topic.

Unexpectedly hearing the voice, he looked up.

Their eyes met, and they recognized each other.

Feng Yuan Sect froze.

Wasn’t... wasn’t this the Jiang Fan from the Continent who lured Jiang Wuya, whom everyone detests?

No way, this is supposed to be the rally against him!

Why is he here in person?

And sitting grandly in the front row?

Jiang Fan chuckled, "Feng Dao, it’s been a while."

Feng Yuan Sect snapped out of it, opened his mouth, uncertain of what to say.

Should he tear off the mask and confront everything now?

Or should he wait until the meeting is over and then make a move?

Everyone watched with interest.

Feng Yuan Sect was known to be domineering, but the one they called Tyrant who had been given the number one seat was surely no simple matter.

At that moment.

From the entrance, Yun Che’s voice called urgently, "Senior, senior, this is our private exchange meeting. Entry is by invitation only."

Everyone’s eyes turned toward the voice.

And there, a young man, impeccably dressed in white and gently fanning a painting, gracefully entered.

"Ladies and gentlemen, sorry for intruding."

"Having heard of this gathering of talented young men for a martial arts exchange, I had to visit."

"I hope you all can overlook this boldness."

Without a hint of unease, he released his aura.

He was remarkably a Three Apertures Nascent Soul.

Under twenty, considered to be part of the same generation.

The people gathered here were all of a similar age.

In this gathering, those who succeeded in a Nascent Soul tribulation were outstanding among peers, worthy of admiration.

What was the story with this young man before their eyes?

He was already of the Three Apertures Nascent Soul cultivation?

Feng Yuan Sect asked bewildered, "Who are you?"

"Since when did the Taicang State have someone like you?"

The young man in white gently waved the painting fan, smiling, and said:

"I am Jiao Huang Yin of the White Bone Alliance."
