Chapter 1027: Chapter 1027: I, Jiang Fan
Jiao Huang Yin smiled and took out several more bottles of Mixed Element Nine-Colored Marrow.
With a bow, he said, "Everyone, Venerate Xinnie won’t let you be wronged."
"Those who cooperate with the detection can receive a bottle of Mixed Element Nine-Colored Marrow as compensation."
"You’ve just broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm, and must be gathering this item far and wide. The Venerate has thoughtfully considered this for you."
The nine Martial Artists who successfully broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm showed expressions of surprise and delight.
The Mixed Element Nine-Colored Marrow is a rare treasure.
The stock within the Three Divine Sect and Seven Great Sects isn’t much. One needs to fulfill numerous missions to gain merits and then obtain a small amount.
The jade bottle in front is filled with Mixed Element Nine-Colored Marrow, worth a year’s merit for ordinary elders.
It certainly aids them in opening the second aperture.
Their grievances vanished from their faces immediately.
Feng Yuan Sect transformed anger into laughter and said, "The Venerate is too gracious."
"We juniors should naturally cooperate with him, what need is there for compensation?"
"Let me be the first!"
Jiao Huang Yin said with a smile, "Alright, you just need to hold this special bead made by Venerate Xinnie, and all your internal power will be activated."
If there’s Void Flow Thunder Force, the compass will react.
Feng Yuan Sect immediately held the round bead.
Just like before, Venerate Xinnie used pressure to force various powers and bloodlines from within Yu Peiyuan and Fairy Yun Shang.
Several powers appeared behind Feng Yuan Sect, seemingly also a strange bloodline.
Before everyone could see clearly, he quickly released the round bead.
Jiao Huang Yin focused on the compass in his hand, confirmed there was no reaction, and said, "Sorry to trouble Feng Dao you."
"One bottle of Mixed Element Nine-Colored Marrow as compensation."
He handed over a bottle of Mixed Element Nine-Colored Marrow, and Feng Yuan Sect accepted it with a beaming smile.
Seeing him truly give it, the remaining Nascent Soul geniuses eagerly stepped forward.
Jiao Huang Yin said with a smile, "Please be patient, I will come one by one according to the number tokens."
Raising his eyes, he looked toward Jiang Fan, a hint of dread flashing in his eyes, bowing and saying, "This Tyrant Dao you."
"Forgive me for bothering you, but please hold this round bead."
He courteously handed the round bead in front of Jiang Fan.
Jiang Fan immediately felt various powers within him boiling, almost unable to be contained.
Just being close had such an effect.
If he were to hold it, what then?
The Void Flow Thunder Force would definitely explode on the spot!
This Venerate Xinnie!
Truly an unyielding haunting presence!
He wondered how he deduced that a Void Flow Thunder Force practitioner would soon undergo a tribulation.
And he shrewdly used this gathering of heavenly prodigies.
No.
This gathering was very likely orchestrated by Venerate Xinnie in secret.
To gather those who would soon successfully undergo tribulation together.
Otherwise, how to explain Jiao Huang Yin crashing the event uninvited?
This gathering was a trap!
And Jiang Fan had stumbled into it by accident!
Staring at the round bead presented in front of him, countless thoughts flashed in his mind.
Should he kill Jiao Huang Yin? And what of the innocents present? Should they be silenced too?
Or should he turn and escape?
But such an escape would cement his identity beyond any refutation.
What awaited him would be endless pursuit.
No place on heaven or earth could shelter him!
What to do?
Jiao Huang Yin, seeing Jiang Fan not accepting, had a flicker of suspicion in his eyes: "Why don’t you take it, sir?"
"Are you afraid?"
Smack!
Suddenly!
Everything blurred in front of his eyes, and then a slap landed across his face.
The crisp sound of a slap echoed across the arena.
The entire Martial Arts Arena fell into a deathly stillness.
Jiao Huang Yin, clutching his burning handsome face, anger blazing in his eyes: "What’s the meaning of this?"
Having reached Nascent Soul Realm, and yet slapping like mortals?
Isn’t it undignified?
Jiang Fan quietly gazed at him and said, "Do you know my name?"
Jiao Huang Yin’s face was calm: "Is your name important?"
A nickname like Tyrant is obviously not a real name.
But does it matter?
No matter the name, it wouldn’t evade Venerate Xinnie’s scrutiny.
Jiang Fan calmly said:
"Then do you know the registered disciple of Venerate Xinnie?"
Jiao Huang Yin snorted, "Of course, it’s Jiang Fan, first on the Heavenly Ascending Ancient Road."
"What are you trying to say?"
This matter is known only to the higher-ups of each sect.
Everything about the Heavenly Ascending Ancient Road, including Venerate Xinnie accepting Jiang Fan as a registered disciple, was suppressed by them.
The disciples naturally were unaware.
But Jiao Huang Yin did know.
Jiang Fan nodded, took out his Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion disciple token, and placed it on the table.
The side engraved with "Jiang Fan" was revealed.
Jiao Huang Yin’s expression froze at the sight: "Jiang Fan?"
"You are Jiang Fan?"
"The registered disciple of Venerate Xinnie?"
"How is it possible?"
Jiang Fan unhurriedly turned to Yu Peiyuan: "Senior Sister Yu, tell him who I am?"
Yu Peiyuan, whom Jiang Fan had assisted all the way to the Heavenly Ascending Ancient Road, was well-known by all.
She observed the shocked crowd with helplessness and said, "Everyone, the senior in front of you is the vile villain Jiang Fan you intended to suppress."
"Wasn’t anyone curious why Senior Feng remained silent?"
"Because he recognized Senior Jiang Fan and dared not suppress him."
The entire venue plunged into a dead silence.
Only the sound of rapid breathing could be heard.
Especially Hua Wuying.
At this moment, her vision darkened, the world spun for her.
Her world had collapsed.
Jiang Fan ignored them.
He stood up and took the compass from Jiao Huang Yin’s hand, calmly saying:
"Using my master’s belongings to detect me?"
"Quite the idea you’ve got!"
Jiao Huang Yin’s face turned alternately pale and flushed.
This was like meeting you guys, one’s own side fighting itself.
No wonder Jiang Fan was angry, venting frustration for the canine-like eyes failing to see the towering mountain.
But, was it necessary to slap him?
And in front of everyone?
He felt deeply insulted and said in a deep voice, "How could I know you were a disciple of the Venerate without clarification from Jiang Dao you?"
Jiang Fan calmly said:
"My master’s ways focus not on cause, but on outcome."
"A disciple of the Venerate is not to be insulted!"
"You, an outsider, dare attempt to detect a Venerate’s disciple, a slap is lenient on you!"
"You also breached conduct. Don’t repeat it!"
"Now, cooperate with me and extract the Void Flow Thunder Force practitioner!"
"Give the round bead to this Hua Wuying!"
Business first, Jiao Huang Yin knew that with a Venerate Xinnie’s disciple present, he couldn’t lead things.
Besides, everyone’s goal was the same, to assist Venerate Xinnie.
Hua Wuying felt dizzy, the world spinning before her eyes.
She held the round bead, demonstrated two powers, but no Void Flow Thunder Force.
"Next!"
"Then the next!"
Under Jiang Fan’s directions, the tests were quickly completed.
Jiao Huang Yin said, "Looks like they aren’t here after all."
Jiang Fan snorted, "Aren’t I still here? You should test me as well."
Jiao Huang Yin huffed, after having been slapped, twitching at the corners of his mouth: "Jiang Dao You jests."
"No matter who I might suspect, I dare not suspect you."
A disciple personally taken by Venerate Xinnie, how could he be a suspect?𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
"Apologies for the trouble, I take my leave!"
Leaving the Martial Arts Arena.
He turned his head, glaring angrily at Jiang Fan.
Then he took out a Communication Jade Pendant, and reported the news truthfully.
"Reporting to the Venerate."
"The newly advanced Nascent Soul disciples of Taicang State have all been tested, and there is no Void Flow Thunder Force among them."
"However, the Venerate’s disciple was present, and he also underwent a successful tribulation."
"But he was not tested."
"I ask for the Venerate’s understanding."
