Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 900: Chapter 900 Punishing Evil

Jian Linyuan, from a distance, discovered Jiang Fan, Liu Qingxian, and others.

Instantly, a look of joy appeared on his face.

Just as he was about to head toward them, he reconsidered, not wanting to cause them trouble.

He changed direction to escape.

Jiang Fan had promised Yunyang Master that if Jian Linyuan and his group encountered trouble, he would lend them a hand.

How could he stand by and do nothing?

He waved his hand and said, “Senior Brother Jian, come over here.”

Jian Linyuan hesitated for a moment before bringing his group over.

Of their original seven people, only four were left.

Among them, one male disciple was covered in blood, barely alive, cradled in Jian Linyuan’s arms.

Jian Linyuan himself was also battered, looking exceptionally disheveled.

“What happened?”

Jiang Fan, while taking out a Revitalizing Pill and feeding it to the injured disciple, gazed at the rapidly approaching red-robed figures.

Jian Linyuan’s embarrassment was evident, unable to speak.

Shang Shiqiu, clutching a broken right arm, had a solemn expression:

“We discovered a small hidden cave mansion.”

“Li Shangqiu brought people over, saying we previously blocked a space full of Yin Qi, asking for his help.”

“Now they want that space as payment for his help back then.”

Jiang Fan frowned, “Didn’t they not show up?”

He recalled that they never appeared even as the Yin Qi was about to erupt.

Shang Shiqiu bit her lips slightly, “When has Li Shangqiu ever reasoned with anyone?”

“He directly tried to seize, but was repelled by Senior Brother Jian.”

Huh?

Jiang Fan looked at Jian Linyuan in surprise.

Li Shangqiu was at the Ninth Layer of Core Formation Perfection, one of the four prodigies of Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.

Jian Linyuan was at most at the Jiedan Eighth Layer?

Yet, considering the invisible mysterious woman beside Jian Linyuan, who had once kicked him in a cheeky manner…

He suddenly realized.

It was most likely her doing.

“Couldn’t believe it!” Shang Shiqiu’s eyes flared with rage, “They’re shameless!”

“Having failed to seize, they shattered the cave mansion’s Black Crystal when we were unprepared!”

“That crystal was clearly dangerous, not to be touched lightly.”

“They have explored the Underworld for years, how could they not know this?”

“They absolutely wanted us killed!”

She watched her former companions, reduced from seven to four.

Tears couldn’t help but fall.

Jian Linyuan’s eyes slightly reddened as well, remorsefully said, “It’s all because I was too stubborn.”

“They could have it; giving it up would have been better.”

“Losing a few merits is better than losing three companions and having one severely injured.”

Jiang Fan’s eyes carried a hint of coldness.

He always felt among the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion disciples, any competitive tactics were fine, as long as everyone relied on their abilities.

But detonating the Black Crystal for mere merits to harm others?

Killed three, severely injured another, and still wouldn’t stop, even sending people to chase them down?

Is there no bottom line anymore?

He recalled on Boundary Mountain, those disciples who, for merits, killed Nine-Sect disciples and attempted to assault Li Shiqian.

He realized.

There are rotten apples everywhere.

Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion is no exception.

Whoosh—

Four red-robed experts from Wuji rushed over.

Upon discovering Jiang Fan before them.

Their expressions shifted, hastily stowing their weapons and talismans, and acted nonchalantly with a smile:

“So, Junior Brother Jiang is here.”

“It must have been a misunderstanding, just a misunderstanding.”

“We’ll be taking our leave.”

Jiang Fan’s strength was well-known to them, one Li Shangqiu could barely contend with him.

The four of them couldn’t possibly be his match?

Hua Xin eyed their red robes, seemingly recognizing them, revealing a hint of disdain:

“Is it them?”

“Haha, those in red clothing are quite wicked.”

“Before the Underworld closed last time, they snatched a disciple’s spatial transfer talisman, leaving him stranded at the Ninth Layer.”

“He ended up dying from the Ninth Layer’s Yin Qi.”

“Oh, and I picked up his bundle, and you came across a Mid Grade Dustless Talisman.”

Was it him?

Due to his death, Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion changed the rule, the team leader must be Jiedan Eighth Layer or above.

His death was actually caused by the Wuji Team!

Seeing Jian Linyuan and his group’s current torment, the chilling feeling in his heart spread.

“You don’t need to leave.”

Jiang Fan said calmly.

The expressions of the four red-robed people changed, they exchanged glances, then immediately dispersed and ran.

“Undying Blade!”

Without unnecessary words, Jiang Fan raised his hand, sending out a two-hundred-zhang Thunder Sword to slash!

Ah!

Four consecutive screams.

Being all Jiedan Eighth Layer, how could they withstand this blow?

All were struck blackened and hunched over, wailing on the ground.

“Jiang Fan! Are you opposing us, the Wuji Team?”

A red-robed disciple shouted.

Jiang Fan walked over, stepped on his dantian, letting the powerful Power of thunder and lightning pierce through, shattering the Golden Core!

“Ah! You! You crippled my cultivation!”

“No!!”

For a Martial Artist, having their cultivation destroyed is the hardest blow short of losing life itself.

Jiang Fan walked to the other three red-robed disciples attempting to crawl away.

One kick for each, all of them had their Golden Core destroyed.

Jiang Fan snorted coldly:

“You should be thankful that I am now part of Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.”

“Had I still been with Nine-Sect, you’d all be dead by now!”

Jian Linyuan watched in delight, gritted his teeth, and handed the disciple to Jiang Fan, saying:

“Junior Brother, protect them well for me.”

“I’ll go back to rescue Junior Sister Leng!”

It was then Jiang Fan knew only two of the missing three were dead.

Leng Qingzhu was captured by Li Shangqiu.

“I’ll go with you.”

Jiang Fan transferred the person to Liang Feiyan.

He then leaped toward the mushroom cloud’s direction.

He was puzzled.

If there’s a mysterious woman protecting Jian Linyuan, why escape so desperately now?

A sweep of Soul Power.

Detected nobody beside Jian Linyuan.

Looking again through Heavy Pupil Crystal, still no one.

He probed, “Senior Brother Jian, where is your guard?”

Jian Linyuan’s pupils trembled, “Junior Brother, you… you know?”

Jiang Fan’s face darkened.

How could he not know?

On Boundary Mountain, kicked him publicly, almost made him fall in disgrace.

“Yes, knew, is she injured now?”

Jiang Fan’s eyes shifted slightly.

Jian Linyuan didn’t hide, “Can barely… count as a guard.”

“The Black Crystal explosion earlier, she blocked most of the attack.”

“Otherwise, it wouldn’t be just two deaths.”

“We all seven would have perished.”

Jiang Fan nodded.

Understood within.

At the site of the mushroom cloud explosion.

Li Shangqiu glanced at the wound on his chest gushing with blood, his face shadowed.

“They haven’t brought their heads back yet?”

“Jian Linyuan dared to hurt me!”

“The last one who scratched my arm was trapped and died in the Ninth Layer world.”

“Having wounded me like this, how can I let them escape without cutting off his companions’ heads to make him cry and regret?”

Thud—

A dazed Leng Qingzhu, hands bound, was pushed to kneel before him.

“Senior Brother Li, what do we do with this woman?”

Li Shangqiu grabbed her chin, studying her comely face.

His smile carried a cold edge, “So pretty, what a waste to kill her.”

“Tie her to a rock, strip her bare.”

“When the brothers come back, line up and take their turn!”

Since he had decided to eliminate Jian Linyuan and his companions, he couldn’t allow any survivors to report back.

Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion is very stringent with punishments for members killing each other.

Thus, Leng Qingzhu must die.

Since it’s so, he wouldn’t mind giving the brothers a little reward.

But at this moment.

The dazed Leng Qingzhu suddenly opened her eyes sharply.

She bit his fingers hard with her mouth.

Hiss!

Li Shangqiu, caught off guard, fingers bitten, couldn’t pull them out.

The stinging pain was immense.

Those fingers were about to be bitten off!

Anger surged within him, he drew a black blade and swung it toward her slender neck.
