Chapter 1273: Chapter 1278: Fooled Again

Jiang Fan skeptically said, "Swear to the heavens, once you get everything, the enmity between us is erased."

Venerable Lianjing snorted, "I, a cultivator undergoing the Heavenly Person Four Declines, need to deceive you?"

"Less nonsense, give me the stuff, and you can leave."

Jiang Fan wiped the Mysterious Demon Liquid off his face, saying, "The first time you saw me, you deceived me by saying you accidentally entered the Forbidden Land."

"They say only beautiful women lie, turns out old women do too!"

What? Old woman?

Venerable Lianjing’s eyebrows shot up, her anger skyrocketing!

When useful, he’s calling her Lady Venerable.

Once he got what he wanted, he’s calling her an old woman!

Fine!

Fine!

If she lets this wretched thing get away today, she’ll walk backward from now on!

Suppressing her rage on the brink of explosion, she said, "Are you going to give it or not?"

Jiang Fan said, "I will, but you have to step back a bit, give me a chance to escape."

"Otherwise, you might turn your back on your word once you have what you want, and I won’t have time to run."

Venerable Lianjing’s eyes moved slightly, "How far back?"

Jiang Fan pointed to the sky, "The horizon will do."

Venerable Lianjing laughed coldly in her heart, "Wretched thing, do you think it’s between Nascent Souls?"

"The distance within sight may count as a distance to those in the Nascent Soul Realm, but to a Venerate, it’s just a blink."

"You’ve miscalculated!"

She suppressed her glee and feigned discontent, "Trying to trick me so far away? You won’t run away, will you?"

Jiang Fan said, "Can’t help it, you’re a Venerate, I’m just a minor in the Nascent Soul Realm."

"If you don’t stand a bit further, I won’t feel safe."

Venerable Lianjing pretended to hesitate, then gritted her teeth after a while, "Fine! If you dare to play tricks, watch how I’ll deal with you!"

Immediately, she flew towards the horizon unhurriedly.

Jiang Fan stood on the spot, allowed himself a small smile only after confirming she reached the end of the horizon.

He quietly took out the Bronze Grasshopper and the life-saving Lotus.

"Old woman, did you really think I’ve never dealt with a Venerate?"

"This distance is nothing to you."

"But I am no pushover!"

Without another word, he activated the Bronze Grasshopper.

The latter swelled in the wind, leaping away with Jiang Fan, teleporting him five hundred miles away.

In the next moment.

Sensing something amiss, Venerable Lianjing teleported back from the horizon, her face dark with anger, her fists cracking, she screamed:

"Jiang Fan!!!"

She was tricked again!

She could bet that Jiang Fan definitely knew the horizon’s distance wasn’t a problem for her!

But Jiang Fan acted the fool to lower her guard.

Gained the chance to activate a Magical Treasure for teleportation!

"I’ll tear you apart!"

Venerable Lianjing was really infuriated.

Got duped once, then again, each time different!

Was it easy being a venerable in the Heavenly Person Four Declines?

Harboring immense wrath, she closed her eyes to sense, immediately locking onto Jiang Fan’s location.

But she didn’t teleport to chase him.

Instead, the Divine Ring at the back of her head flickered uncertainly.

A massive mirror floated upside-down in the sky.

She leapt into the mirror in a magical manner!

Five hundred miles away.

Jiang Fan felt dizzy and lightheaded.

Even though it wasn’t his first time using the Bronze Grasshopper, the teleportation impact was still overwhelmingly uncomfortable.

Opening his eyes to survey around.

He found he had teleported to an oasis.

The Extreme East of the Great Wilderness State, desolate and barren, not even grass in sight.

Oddly.

Amidst the desolation, an oasis brimming with life appeared.

A circular lake, like a giant pearl embedded in the surroundings.

Green vegetation grew all around the lake.

Jiang Fan took a fresh breath of air, feeling much more refreshed in spirit.

Glancing back in the direction he came from, a slight smile played on his lips, "Old woman, we’ll never see each other again!"

Five hundred miles, even a Venerate would need a few breaths to arrive.

Enough time for him to activate the life-saving Lotus and make a complete getaway.

He unhesitatingly initiated the Lotus in his palm.

The petals of the pink Lotus spread out gently.

Strands of Space Power were released from within.

But just as it was about to succeed.

An invisible pressure descended.

The activated Lotus was forcibly interrupted, the petals re-closing, sealing the Space Power.

At the same time.

A voice, like a volcano on the brink of eruption, came from above.

Jiang Fan’s entire body stiffened.

Looking up, at some unknown time, a mirror had appeared in the sky.

In the mirror, a figure in a black dress gradually floated down.

Who could it be but Venerable Lianjing?

Jiang Fan’s eyes widened, "Your domain can be played like this?"

Venerable Lianjing’s face darkened, her eyes twin volcanoes: "There’s a lot more games to play!"

"I will play with you slowly!"

The last three words were spoken through gritted teeth!

Jiang Fan suddenly felt a chill all over.

He awkwardly smiled, taking out the ice block and the Heart-shaped Copper Lock inside.

"Lady Venerable, I was playing hide and seek with you.

"Since you’ve found me, the item is yours."

He tossed the ice block over.

Venerable Lianjing lifted a palm, catching the ice block, a cursory glance confirming the contents.

Seeing a lock.

And it looked familiar, as if seen somewhere before.

But now was not the time to check the Magical Treasure!

Deal with this wretched thing first!

She stuffed the ice block into her Space Storage Device, her eyes narrowing, a dangerous glint sparking within.

Seeing this, Jiang Fan felt secure in his heart!

Good, the Luck Transfer Lock successfully got onto Venerable Lianjing!

Next, any damage Venerable Lianjing does to Jiang Fan will transfer onto herself!

Hope Venerable Lianjing delivers a big hit.

Then she’ll half-kill herself!

Thinking so, Jiang Fan no longer showed restraint.

Provoking her he said, "Old woman, you’ve got the stuff, why still glare at me?"

"Still trying to cheat?"

Hearing Jiang Fan calling her an old woman again, undeterred by danger.

Venerable Lianjing’s eyes filled with an even greater dangerous arc, she coldly said, "Jiang Fan!"

"You asked for this!"

Whoosh!

Her figure vanished, leaving behind just a residual shadow.

Jiang Fan’s heart pounded wildly!

It’s coming!

Whether he escaped or not, depended on how ruthlessly Venerable Lianjing attacked.

In that breath, Jiang Fan felt his whole body freeze.

This was Venerable Lianjing’s terrifying aura enveloping him, stripping him of resistance.

Just like being under Evil Crow Venerable’s shroud back then.

This suffocating sense made him stop breathing.

Time seemed to freeze in that moment.

Jiang Fan widened his eyes, anticipating the Luck Transfer Lock’s effect.

Suddenly.

A silhouette of Venerable Lianjing appeared from thin air in front of Jiang Fan.

She lifted a palm, extending her arm, apparently intending to pierce Jiang Fan’s chest herself.

But what puzzled Jiang Fan.

Venerable Lianjing, maintaining the pose, did not proceed.

Her eyes flickered fiercely, seemingly in a struggle.

It seemed something immensely powerful was battling for control over her body.

Jiang Fan was stunned, what was going on?

He hadn’t done anything!

Before he could figure it out.

Venerable Lianjing suddenly moved, her hand rising towards Jiang Fan.

But not to kill him.

Rather, she gently stroked his face.

Eh?

Jiang Fan was completely petrified!
