Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 1611: Chapter 1649: I’d Rather Become a Demon

Jiang Fan gazed at the Netherworld King whose face bore a calm expression, and said:

"You are calm indeed, fearless of death."

"You and Princess Zi Jiang stand out among the Ancient Giants."

"Do you, like Princess Zi Jiang, have an extraordinary background?"

Princess Zi Jiang, at birth, caused the death of a room full of Giant Kings, aged the mother of the Five-star Giant King, and made the father of the Giant Emperor fall a realm.

Surely the Netherworld King before him wouldn’t also possess such uniqueness?

The Netherworld King scoffed, uninterested in answering.

Jiang Fan, without forcing him, took out the Space Mirror.

Although Princess Zi Jiang hadn’t seen it earlier, she had already heard everything.

She looked at the Netherworld King and sighed, "Netherworld, you shouldn’t have come to rescue me."

The rescue failed, and he also got caught up in it.

The Netherworld King said calmly, "No need to worry, since I have failed, your father will make a move himself."

He then looked at Jiang Fan and said, "Good luck, new star of the Human Clan."

"The Central Tribe Emperor will not spare you."

Jiang Fan remained expressionless, his finger pressing the orange area of the Tai Chu Prison Sky Gourd, and said indifferently:

"Thanks for the reminder!"

"Capture!"

With a swoosh.

The orange mist wrapped around the Netherworld King, dragging him into the gourd.

Unable to maintain her composure any longer, Princess Zi Jiang revealed a sorrowful expression and said, "Is he dead?"

Jiang Fan scrutinized her expression and said, "No."

"But if I shake it, he will die."

Only then did Princess Zi Jiang find some spirit, her lips moved, hesitant to speak.

Eventually, she still said, "Although my plea may be ineffective, please do not kill him."

Princess Zi Jiang would never show emotion facing any giant.

Except for the Netherworld King, who was different.

Jiang Fan smiled and said, "Fine."

Hmm?

Princess Zi Jiang looked at Jiang Fan surprised and suspiciously asked, "You promised me not to kill him?"

"How is it possible?"

She knew Jiang Fan too well; this guy had a deep-seated hatred for giants, never showing any mercy.

And would never agree to her request.

Jiang Fan said indifferently, "Besides being the Vice Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion; I have another identity."

"I am also a Guest Elder at Jiangshan First-class Building, known as the Tyrant."

"Thus, I am also a businessman."

Princess Zi Jiang instantly understood and asked cautiously, "You want to make a deal with me?"

"But I have nothing of value to trade with you."

She was worried that Jiang Fan intended for her to betray the core secrets of the Ancient Giants.

But to her astonishment, Jiang Fan tossed her pen and paper and said:

"I’ll recite, and you write."

"After writing, I will not take the life of the Netherworld King."

Just that simple?

Princess Zi Jiang felt suspicious; Jiang Fan wouldn’t make it so easy for her.

Yet she couldn’t figure out what trap lay in transcribing Jiang Fan’s words.

Unable to grasp its intrigue, she said, "Fine, I’ll write what you say."

Jiang Fan, with hands behind his back, said:

"Brother Jiang Fan, upon receiving this letter it’s as if seeing you."

Hmm?

At hearing the first four words, Princess Zi Jiang raised an eyebrow.

Brother Jiang what?

She wished she could peel off Jiang Fan’s skin, crush his bones and scatter them to ashes, and yet here it says brother?

With a brief hesitation, she bit her lips slightly, bearing the aversion as she started writing.

"In light of my frequent sending of Heavenly Realm intel to you, my father has grown suspicious."

"I will soon join you in Central Earth within days."

"Please, Brother Jiang Fan, do not despise me."

"Zi Jiang’s very own handwriting."

Princess Zi Jiang gradually detected the ploy.

She sneered, "You aim to sow discord between me and the Ancient Giants?"

"Frankly, this tactic is rather childish, not quite up to your usual standard."

Her suspicion was that Jiang Fan wanted to present this letter to the Ancient Giants.

Creating the false impression that Princess Zi Jiang had long since betrayed the Giant Clan.

Thus successfully sowing discord.

But, such low-level means, how could the giants possibly believe it?

She was forcibly seized by Jiang Fan right before the Five-star Giant King’s face, hardly associating with betrayal in any way.

Jiang Fan took the paper, looking at the delicate and beautiful Hell Language, and admired:

"No wonder you love reading, your calligraphy is indeed fine."

"However, you seem to have misunderstood."

"This letter isn’t meant for the giants to read."

"It’s for you."

Hmm?

Princess Zi Jiang frowned, her vertical eyes full of doubt as she watched him, "What are you playing at?"

Jiang Fan dried the ink on the paper, grabbed a handful of dirt, and smeared it evenly across.

Making it look very old.

Only then did he tuck away the letter, looking deeply at Princess Zi Jiang, "Remember the theory you mentioned during the Great Hunt, about cattle and sheep?"

Princess Zi Jiang replied calmly, "What is theory? It’s just nature’s order."

"The Ancient Giants eating your Human Clan is no different than your Human Clan eating cattle and sheep."

"It’s Heavenly Dao and nature."

Jiang Fan nodded, "As long as you remember."

"Then I shall fulfill my promise of that day, allowing you to experience what it feels like to be cattle and sheep."

Princess Zi Jiang smiled disdainfully and shook her head:

"Did I feel mournful over so many dead giants?"

Jiang Fan smiled, his smile laden with meaning:

"What if those giants died by your own hand?"

Princess Zi Jiang furrowed her brows.

Giants dying on the battlefield wouldn’t cause her heartache; it’s the fate of the Giant Clan.

But, making her slaughter her own kind?

She couldn’t do it.

"Rest assured, I am no Black Sun King; I would not commit acts of killing my own kind."

Princess Zi Jiang stated calmly.

Jiang Fan took out a Jade Talisman, from which exuded the pressure of the Four Crowned Asura King.

This was precisely the Domain Red Sleeves had given Jiang Fan back then.

Its purpose is to delete a person’s memory!

Jiang Fan said, "You will."

"Bereft of all past memories, you will become the good sister coming to join me."

"And these dead Giant Kings were all sent to pursue you."

"You will fight alongside me, slaughtering giants."

Hiss!

As soon as she saw the Jade Talisman, Princess Zi Jiang understood everything.

The letter was precisely for the memory-less her to believe in Jiang Fan!!!

It’s was her handwritten letter, the handwriting only she could recognize.

Devoid of memories, she would easily believe its contents.

And truly treat Jiang Fan as the one she came to join.

She would even help him kill the Ancient Giants!

Jiang Fan’s eyes turned cold, and he said:

"You, this Time Giant King, are a born killer."

"I believe you can kill many, many giants."

Capturing Princess Zi Jiang initially had been exceptionally thorny.

Only by exhausting her essence did he manage to barely seize her.

Throwing her into battle was terrifyingly destructive.

Back during the initial battle, Jiang Fan had intended to deploy her.

But back then, he was weaker; a misstep would cost him control and endanger his own people instead.

Now, he has the confidence to control this woman!

The imminent grand battle, then, let her slay her own kind!

And then she, like the creatures of Taicang State, like the cattle and sheep she spoke of, would die in the siege of her own kind.

This is the fate Jiang Fan prepared for her!

"Jiang Fan! Kill me!" Princess Zi Jiang clenched her fists, her eyes sharp.

She would rather die than have her hands stained with the blood of her own kind.

Jiang Fan activated the Jade Talisman, emotionlessly utilizing his Talent, beginning to erase her memory.

Princess Zi Jiang struggled painfully.

She punched space mirror forcefully, trying to escape.

But it was futile.

Her memories were swiftly being erased.

Princess Zi Jiang banged on the mirror angrily, yelling, "No!!"

"I won’t kill my own kind!!!"

"Jiang Fan! You are a demon! You are the demon!"

Images of numerous Nascent Soul Experts of Taicang State fighting to protect their homeland, falling like moths to a flame, flashed through Jiang Fan’s mind.

He remembered the Heavenly Listening Bodhisattva sacrificing herself to the demon, he remembered Jian Lanjiang’s unfulfilled ambition.

His eyes passed a chill:

"If becoming a demon can avenge those who died heroically in anguish."

"Then I would rather become a demon!"
