Chapter 1028: Chapter 1028: Deadbeat

Thinking for a moment.

Feeling the burning sensation on his face, he silently erased the last three sentences.

Better to avoid trouble than to cause it.

If Venerate Xinnie were to ask about Jiang Fan, and how the two met, should he mention that incident when Jiang Fan publicly embarrassed him?

At the boundary of the Fire Worship Sect.

Venerate Xinnie stood on a mountain, hands behind his back, gazing into the territories of the Fire Worship Sect.

Although the boundary lay directly in front of him, he dared not step in casually.

Beep beep.

The Communication Jade Pendant sounded. Upon looking down, he lightly frowned.

"Nothing?"

"The disciples transitioning at the Three Divine Sects and Seven Great Sects are all here."

He replied, "Confirmed all were checked?"

Shortly, Jiao Huang Yin responded: "All nine were checked, none were Void Flow Thunder Force practitioners."

Venerate Xinnie’s eyes narrowed.

He desperately wished to check in person.

But upon glancing fearfully at the Fire Worship Sect’s direction, he could only dismiss the thought.

"Jiao Huang Yin is reliable; if he certainly says there’s none, then truly there is none."

"Could it be within the numerous smaller sects?"

With this thought, he disappeared into thin air.

Fire Worship Sect, the Great Hall.

The red-skinned and short-statured elder lightly glanced at Venerate Xinnie’s direction, then withdrew his gaze.

"Didn’t find the lad?"

The Sect Hierarch in front broke into a cold sweat, saying: "Reporting to Senior, searched for five days, found no trace."

"Probably realized the grave error and fled in fear of punishment."

The elder snorted: "Quick on his feet!"

"Better prepare, the Fire Spring can’t be contained, it’s erupting stronger than in previous years."

"Expected to erupt earlier."

The Sect Hierarch felt slightly alarmed.

The timing not only moved up, but the eruption is more fierce?

Martial Arts Arena.

Unaware that he narrowly escaped two ordeals, Jiang Fan felt heavily burdened.

Void Flow Thunder Force hangs over him like a sharp blade.

It could erupt at any moment.

His recent quick thinking offered only temporary relief.

This many people transitioned recently.

Venerate Xinnie is bound to find him eventually.

Furthermore, at the end of the Heavenly Ascending Ancient Road, Venerate Xinnie had sensed Void Flow Fire Force, and Jiang Fan happened to be nearby, already suspicious.

If he learns of Jiang Fan’s recent successful transition.

Venerate Xinnie surely would suspect him?

At that moment, everything would be over.

Facing Venerate Xinnie’s full pursuit, even if Jiang Fan had incredible abilities, he’d find no place to hide.

He must find a way to remove the threat.

The nine Nascent Soul experts, completely oblivious, each holding warm Mixed Element Nine-Colored Marrow, cheerfully left the Martial Arts Arena.

Hua Wuying mingled within, casually chatting with Yun Che as they left.

But she barely walked a few steps when she couldn’t move anymore.

Her rear collar was grabbed by a powerful hand.

"Where are you heading?"

Hua Wuying’s face instantly fell, forcing a smile that looked worse than crying:

"Senior Jiang, any instructions?"

Jiang Fan chuckled as he pulled her back, with a teasing smile:

"Planning to denounce me earlier?"

Hua Wuying’s face stiffened, she hurriedly said: "Not, not just me."

"There’s Ma Qingyan, Yun Che, Senior Liu from Myriad Phenomena Void Realm, and..."

She loyally listed all those who eagerly spoke out.

Everyone joined in denouncing Jiang Fan.

Couldn’t leave just herself behind.

The named people stood frozen, neither daring to leave nor facing Jiang Fan.

The rest who weren’t named ran away relieved.

Jiang Fan glanced around, chuckled, and then focused back on Hua Wuying.,

Pinching her cheek, he said: "But you shouted the loudest, jumped the highest, cried the most."

"Even said to tie me up, hang me upside down for forty-nine days."

"Still want to do that?"

Hua Wuying wanted to cry, "Won’t do it."

"Strike me sixty-four times?"

Her face twisted by his pinch, she whimpered: "Won’t hit."

"Prick me eighty-one needles?"

Tears welled in her eyes, "Won’t prick."

Jiang Fan huffed: "A Debt Fairy wanting to denounce me?"

"I’ll sell you right away!"

Hua Wuying finally broke down and cried:

"Waaaa, Master, I quit, I want to go home."

"Please come get me, waaa."

Jiang Fan impatiently said: "Fine, I’ll contact your master now!"

He took out the Jade Pendant, sending a message to Song Lingyu.

"Are you there?"

"Ten days are up, time to pay back."

"Why haven’t you replied?"

"Playing dead?"

"I’m selling your disciple."

"Reply or I really will sell."

...

Ten Thousand Tribulations Holy Temple, Madhouse.

Sanqian Shangren frowned at Song Lingyu sunning herself in the courtyard.

"Why not reply to them?"

"In such a hurry, must be something important."

Song Lingyu holding the Communication Jade Pendant stammered: "No, no problems."

"Just some nuisance messages from unknown sources."

"No need to bother."

She tore the constantly beeping Jade Pendant from her waist, tossing it into the Space Storage Device.

Finally, peace returned.

No choice.

Unable to borrow the Sky Ascending Pill, she must act dead.

Sanqian Shangren puzzled but didn’t probe.

Yet suddenly remembered another thing: "By the way, your disciple Hua Wuying?"

"She left with you, why isn’t she back?"

Song Lingyu’s body stiffened, her eyes shifting into a gloomy look, she sighed:

"What disciple?"

"Why would a person like me have a disciple?"

"Hua Wuying? Who is that?"

"Ah!"

Sighing, she walked back into the house.

Sanqian Shangren shook his head and said helplessly: "Ah, gone mad again."

"Forgot the disciple."

"Hope Hua Wuying stays safe."

Fire Worship Sect, Martial Arts Arena.

Facing countless unread messages, Hua Wuying cried aloud.

Her cries grew louder.

Jiang Fan, too, dark-faced, said: "Really turned into a dodger!"

"The first time selling on credit, you taught me a harsh lesson?"

"Unreasonable!"

Looking at those still present in the Martial Arts Arena, Jiang Fan said:

"Selling Hua Wuying now, just four Sky Ascending Pills and she’s yours."

"Anyone interested?"

Ma Qingyan and others exchanged glances.

Taicang State’s leading female prodigy Hua Wuying, now Jiang Fan’s debt payment?

This world seems upside down.

Bang!

Suddenly.

A dazzling fire column, accompanied by a thunderous roar, shot up skyward.

The column reached the heavens, burning up the clouds, piercing deep into the sky.

A massive hole burned into the firmament.

Multicolored strange fires fell from the sky.

Their emitted heat was terrifying!

Each piece had city-burning power.

Some, if touched by anyone below Nascent Soul level, would vaporize.

The Fire Worship Sect’s disciples, well-prepared, rushed towards the falling strange fires.

They displayed their divine skills to intercept the flames.

Firstly, to reduce the disasters from the Fire Spring eruption.

Secondly, to enhance their Fire Dao Divine Power.

Jiang Fan’s eyes narrowed.

Speaking of which, wasn’t his "Qian Lan True Fire Technique" strengthened by absorbing strange fires?

Staring at the descending strange fires, his eyes lit with fervor.

Because two of the fires had even greater power than the Asura Karmic Fire he obtained earlier!
