Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 968: Chapter 968: Still, My Wife Is the Most Reliable

Critical moment.

Two white ribbons swept in from outside the blood-red light screen, simultaneously wrapping around Jiang Fan and Yu Peiyuan.

It’s Concubine Yunxia!

She seized the moment when the Ancient Demon Mirage’s avatar was too preoccupied to care, decisively entangling the two and forcefully pulling them out of the blood-red light screen.

Then she promptly poured the jar containing the purple flame onto the two blood-red beams.

Sizzle!

The hidden tentacles inside immediately released their grip, retreating into the body of the Demon Mirage.

Jiang Fan and Yu Peiyuan instantly regained their mobility.

Still shaken, Jiang Fan urgently activated the Cloud Shadow, wrapping his left arm around Concubine Yunxia and holding Yu Peiyuan’s hand with his right, swiftly escaping a thousand feet away.

Originally able to cover two thousand feet in a breath, he controlled the distance considering Venerate Xinnie might suspect it was aided by Void Flow Thunder Force.

However, his concerns were unnecessary.

Venerate Xinnie’s mind was entirely focused on the Ancient Token, not giving Jiang Fan a second glance.

A moment later.

The Ancient Demon Mirage’s avatar, continuously absorbing the disciples’ Essence Blood, grew stronger and was undefeated by the Divinity Transformation Venerable despite prolonged engagement.

Just at this moment!

Dark clouds suddenly appeared in the sky.

A phoenix engulfed in flames broke through the clouds, diving down towards the Ancient Demon Mirage’s avatar.

In an instant, the thousand-foot-long giant worm began to burn.

Countless tentacles were severed instantly, and the disciples, lucky to survive, scattered to escape.

The Ancient Demon Mirage’s avatar roared angrily at the sky’s clouds, then plunged back under the bronze ground.

The Divinity Transformation Venerable’s power was confined to this place, unable to probe below.

"Damn it! That cunning creature snatched the Ancient Token and fled!"

From within the clouds came a woman’s cool voice.

"Ling Xuzi, forget about the Ancient Token, quickly take it away from the Central Earth. If it remains here, no one in Taicang State can deal with it."

Ling Xuzi looked up and said, "Thank you."

Then he glanced coldly at Venerate Xinnie: "After all, someone not from Taicang State dares to coldly watch as many of Taicang’s elites are slaughtered."

If Venerate Xinnie had acted earlier, the number of sacrificed disciples would have been much less.

Damn that old thing, who only cared about the Ancient Token, waiting to reap benefits when both sides were exhausted!

He didn’t regard those younger generations at all.

"You should keep a close eye on him, all of you Divinity Transformations and that Bodhisattva from Taicang in the future."

"He’s no good!"

Within the clouds, the cool woman nodded: "Yes, Ling Xuzi."

With a wave of his hand, Ling Xuzi caused thousands of steps to overlap, and the remaining beings in the space were ejected one by one.

Finally, the Heavenly Ascending Ancient Road merged into a triangular shape, resembling the triangular great hall of the Wu Gou Altar.

It was then that everyone noticed with contracted pupils.

At the base of the hall lay a thousand-foot-long giant beast hidden in the mist!

With the activation of the hall, breaking through the void, it left along with it.

Within the clouds, the cool woman waved her hand.

Countless remains gathered before Venerate Xinnie.

Out of the over two hundred disciples participating in the Heavenly Ascending Ancient Road, at least eighty died, including Left Dao Nascent Soul members from the Three Divine Sects and Seven Great Sects!

The losses were extraordinarily severe!

"Venerate Xinnie, though you’re not from Taicang State, you are from the Central Earth, aren’t you?"

"Why could you watch them be brutally killed by outside ferocious spirits with open eyes?"

The cool woman’s voice was full of dissatisfaction.

If she hadn’t arrived in time, wouldn’t they all have perished?

Venerate Xinnie said indifferently, "I don’t owe you anything, no obligation."

Having said this, he made no further explanations nor glanced at the piles of remains in front, turning to leave.

Within the clouds, two eyes filled with tangible anger pierced through the clouds.

At this moment.

A violent muffled noise suddenly came from the void space where the Linyin Hunting Ground had departed.

One tentacle after another tried to forcibly pry open the void.

Ultimately powerless, the tentacles were cut off by the void fissures.

Roar!!!

From the other side of the void came the faint angry roar of the Ancient Demon Mirage avatar.

Evidently, it finally realized it had been fooled!

All its efforts only yielded a piece of Memory Silver Sand, not the Ancient Token.

After calculating everything, it was outwitted by a member of the Little People Clan.

Who wouldn’t rage?

The woman in the clouds silently watched the Ancient Demon Mirage avatar, which repeatedly smashed into the void for a full hour before roaring away, lost in thought:

"It got this angry?"

"Is there anyone else who can cause it to suffer?"

At this time.

Jiang Fan had escorted Yu Peiyuan to several hundred miles away from the stone steps.

"Senior Sister Yu, I will escort you only this far."

The area in front of the stone steps should be in chaos now, with strong figures from various sects and teachings concerned about the disciples’ situations.

As an outsider disciple, it was wiser for him not to join them.

Yu Peiyuan understood his concerns, bowing deeply and saying, "Thank you, Junior Brother Jiang, thank you, Sister."

"Each of you saved my life once."

Without hesitation, she took out the Sixth Grade Ancestor Returning Pill and handed it to Concubine Yunxia, saying:

"Sister, I’ll give you the Ancestor Returning Pill, hoping it can help you condense the Heavenly Fox Bloodline."𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

She had heard Venerate Xinnie’s words earlier, too.

Concubine Yunxia politely declined, "This pill is precious, and I can’t accept it."

"Keep it for yourself, or sell it to someone who needs it."

Yu Peiyuan shook her head, "If I don’t repay your kindness for saving my life, I’ll have a mental burden."

Concubine Yunxia looked hesitantly at Jiang Fan.

Jiang Fan thought about it and said, "Then accept it."

He then took out the Fifth-grade Spirit Pill and handed it to Yu Peiyuan: "Mutual gift exchange."

"Although not as precious as the Ancestor Returning Pill, I believe it’s what you currently need most."

"If your master Qi Yin Master leaves you the Tribulation Crossing opportunity, keep this pill and use it after reaching Nascent Soul."

"If he decides to leave the opportunity to someone else, exchange this pill for the Tribulation Crossing opportunity."

Yu Peiyuan rejoiced immensely.

Holding the Ancestor Returning Pill, she might not be able to exchange it for a Tribulation Crossing opportunity.

But this Fifth-grade Spirit Pill could guarantee her securing that opportunity, in terms of practicality, surpassing the Ancestor Returning Pill.

She not only repaid the favor but also secured a Tribulation Crossing opportunity.

A win-win!

"Thank you, Junior Brother Jiang," she said happily and accepted it.

Concubine Yunxia no longer hesitated and accepted the Ancestor Returning Pill, her eyes revealing traces of joy.

If it truly enhances the Heavenly Fox Bloodline, she could keep pace with Jiang Fan and become his virtuous companion.

"Then we’ll meet again."

Yu Peiyuan waved with delight and left.

Jiang Fan watched with a slight smile, saying, "I wish you all the best."

Concubine Yunxia noticed this, and it seemed Jiang Fan had become more unwilling and longing for kind people and things after the Ling Shu incident.

Afraid of losing again.

She softly suggested, "When we go to Taicang State, let’s interact more with Miss Yu."

"Kind people deserve kindness."

Jiang Fan looked at Concubine Yunxia; this woman always read his heart first.

Then, like a spring breeze, she comforted him silently and gently.

He thought about it and said, "Yunxia, I’ll give you a Moon Realm."

"You can contact me whenever you want."

He intended to probe the Heavenly Thunder Stone, but as he did, his expression suddenly froze!

"My Moon Realm is missing a piece!"
