"Thank you for your efforts, Demon Monarch!"
Jiang Fan pondered for a mont and took out two items.
One was a top-grade crystal stone, which he placed on the core, activating the state-level teleportation array.
The other was a star sealed in a jade box.
Snow-white all over, surrounded by a mass of ice shards.
The Ice and Fire Demon Lord sensed sothing and imdiately looked over, eyes gleaming: "Ice Origin Star?"
"Where did you get it?"
Jiang Fan chuckled: "In the Heavenly Mountain Battlefield, there was a body of the Ice Giant King."
"I obtained his star. I don’t need it, so I’m giving it to you."
"Consider it a reward for capturing the Soul Refining Venerable."
The Ice and Fire Demon Lord grabbed it joyfully.
Compared to the previous Cold Mountain Giant King’s source, the Ice Origin is much more effective for him.
"With this origin, if I retreat for a period, I might recover my Heavenly Human Two Declines cultivation!"
Jiang Fan also showed a joyful expression.
If he could manage it before the Ancient Giant arrives, that would be perfect!
"Wishing for your cultivation to advance significantly, Venerable!"
The Ice and Fire Demon Lord felt a bit embarrassed: "Constantly receiving good things from you."
"Trying to walk away from your Heavenly chanism Pavilion is tough now."
"Let’s go, back to Taicang State!"
"We’ll interrogate this Soul Refining Venerable together!"
The spatial light flared up, engulfing them completely.
Beside them, Venerable Lianjing was furious, holding onto the ice block, she scread:
"Jiang Fan! This isn’t over!"
Out of nowhere.
As she scread, a tiny rift appeared before her.
A fishing line with a hook erged from it.
Blatantly hooked onto her ice block, it dragged it away.
Venerable Lianjing froze.
Then she realized Jiang Fan wanted to retrieve the Luck Transfer Lock!
This damn thing used the Luck Transfer Lock to inflict severe injuries on her and now wants it back?
She dashed forward, grabbing the ice block, trying to reclaim it.
However.
A force from the other end of the line pulled her towards the void.
In the array.
At the instant of activation, Jiang Fan cast the Void Fishing Rod to retrieve the Luck Transfer Lock.
This thing was incredibly useful.
He was reluctant to lose it.
Sensing the weight, he promptly raised the rod, bringing back the ice block.
But to his surprise, also coming back was Venerable Lianjing, clinging tightly to the ice block!
She crossed the void, arriving within the array.
Glaring at Jiang Fan gripping the fishing rod, her face turned livid, and she said coldly: "You plan to flee with the Luck Transfer Lock?"
Jiang Fan’s heart skipped a beat.
Damn!
How did he end up fishing this woman back too!
Luckily, the array was already activated.
Without waiting for Venerable Lianjing to act, the imnse space power swept them into the void.
Just like when they traveled from Taicang State to Great Wilderness State.
Jiang Fan found himself in a long space corridor.
Being pulled swiftly by the mighty space power towards the corridor’s end.
Beyond the corridor was a seemingly endless darkness, dead silent and void, devoid of light.
Only the space corridor emitted faint white light, quietly hanging in the deathly blackness.
A sense of panic about being devoured by the darkness surged in his heart.
Unlike the last state-level teleportation array use.
This ti, there were four people in the space vortex.
And one was glaring fiercely at him!
Jiang Fan rubbed his nose and edged closer to the Ice and Fire Demon Lord.
The Ice and Fire Demon Lord reassured him: "Don’t worry, she won’t dare act here."
"This is a privately built space transmission array; the corridor is unstable."
"If she strikes, it’s easy to shatter the space corridor."
Jiang Fan recalled Bai Xin’s explanation about official and private teleportation arrays.
Indeed, Bai Xin had ntioned that private arrays are unstable.
Gazing into the surrounding darkness, Jiang Fan asked: "What happens if it shatters?"
The Ice and Fire Demon Lord replied calmly: "It depends on luck."
"If lucky, you’ll be randomly teleported to the nearest great state from the corridor."
"If unlucky, you’ll be cast into the void."
He didn’t ntion the consequences of falling into the void.
As the answer was obvious.
Death!
Upon hearing this, Jiang Fan sat up straight, no longer fearing Venerable Lianjing.
He eyed the Luck Transfer Lock she clung to, pursed his lips, and stowed away the Void Fishing Rod: "Why are you still holding onto it?"
"If I get injured again, it will transfer to you."
Venerable Lianjing snarled: "At the teleportation destination, you’re dead!"
She grabbed a handful of Healing Pills, stuffing them into her mouth, chewing forcefully.
While chewing, she glared at Jiang Fan.
The crunching sound of chewing resonated unnaturally clear in the dead silent void.
As if she wasn’t eating spirit pills, but Jiang Fan’s flesh.
Jiang Fan’s scalp tingled.
This doesn’t bode well!
This woman won’t leave him alone!
When the teleportation ends, he must think of a way to ditch her and seek refuge in the Qintian Bureau.
Only the Great Wine Sacrifice in Taicang State could handle her.
Suddenly, Jiang Fan slled a faint burnt odor.
He frowned slightly: "Where’s that sll coming from?"
"Old woman, ate substandard spirit pills?"
Venerable Lianjing shot him a fierce glare, mumbling:
"Looking for trouble, huh?"
But right after speaking, she furrowed her brows.
She too began sniffing lightly.
Clearly, she also started slling the burnt aroma.
The Ice and Fire Demon Lord slled it too and imdiately looked toward the Soul Refining Venerable: "It’s coming from him!"
Everyone glanced over.
Then noticed on the unconscious Soul Refining Venerable, wisps of barely visible black mist erged.
The burnt aroma actually ca from his chest.
The Ice and Fire Demon Lord pulled open his clothing and squinted slightly at the sight.
On his chest was a black Asura Clan head sigil.
It flickered faintly, emitting unstable black light.
The source of the burnt sll was this sigil.
Jiang Fan looked serious: "Demon Monarch, did he have the burnt sll before?"
The Ice and Fire Demon Lord shook his head: "It’s just now."
Venerable Lianjing also gazed at the sigil, her expression growing tense.
Given they were right now in a space transmission, there couldn’t be any mishaps.
As a thought rose, a mirror appeared before her, reflecting the sigil, projecting so information.
A scan with crystal-clear eyes, her expression shifted: "This sigil is for positioning."
"Sothing is approaching the sigil, which activated it."
As if confirming her claim.
The blinking frequency of the sigil’s flicker intensified, indicating sothing is closing in fast.
Jiang Fan and the Ice and Fire Demon Lord exchanged glances.
They noticed each other’s pupils contracted to needle-thin points.
Right now, they were within a state-level teleportation array!
What else could close in on them?
Both of them realized what was approaching.
The agent behind the Soul Refining Venerable, the Asura Saint!
A high-profile Central Earth Great Sage, but in reality, an Asura Emperor’s transcendent being!
He definitely perceived the Soul Refining Venerable’s weak life force, not letting it be, especially amidst long-distance transmission.
Thus deducing, he must have been captured.
Coming to silence him!
Wiping out them all together!
