His gaze surveyed the surroundings; the Second Layer was not spacious at all, leaving no place to hide.
Suddenly, he noticed a man-wide circular black void on the ground at the center of the Second Layer. Just one glance made him inexplicably anxious.
What lies beneath the void is self-evident!
The Third Layer, imprisoning unknown entities!
Could he escape there?
Rembering Wang Chongxiao’s words that even for Saints, the Third Layer is a death sentence, extinguished the thought.
But then, where else could he hide?
At this mont, Butterfly Fairy and three Alien Race powerhouses also noticed Taotie’s approach, emitting terrified cries for help.
Jiang Fan secretly grew worried.
His gaze suddenly fell upon two cells with arrays, prompting a sudden realization.
That’s it; he could hide in the Saint’s cell!
The array could not only keep a Saint inside but also prevent Taotie from entering!
With Little Qilin, he could pass through the array.
"Little Qilin!" Jiang Fan quickly summoned Little Qilin, using his fingers to pry open its closed eyelids, "Wake up later!"
Roar~
A deep roar echoed, and Little Qilin thrashed awake, startled.
Jiang Fan hurriedly took out a small bag and jumped into it without hesitation, saying, "Quick, let’s hide in the cell."
Little Qilin picked up the bag, dashed in a blur, then skillfully burrowed into the cell on the right.
Feeling safe, Jiang Fan poked his head out, finding the cell empty without a Saint’s body!
That can’t be right.
If the array wasn’t damaged, how did the Saint inside leave?
Until he saw a section of broken chains hanging on the stone wall of the cell.
He took out the leash, comparing the end with the chain. The fit was perfect.
Jiang Fan’s head buzzed as he stared blankly at the adorable Little Qilin, muttering:
"This place... was used to confine you before?"
Little Qilin nodded, "Yes, what’s the problem, Master?"
Jiang Fan slid his hands under its armpits, lifted it mid-air, inspecting it thoroughly.
Little Qilin blinked innocent, clear eyes at Jiang Fan, full of bewildernt.
Master is acting so strange today.
Jiang Fan was dumbfounded.
This creature... is actually a Saint Realm?
Could it be a Saint Realm that has lived for ten thousand years?
Jiang Fan, skeptical, asked, "How did you co to Central Earth?"
Little Qilin tilted its head, "Got caught by a bad old man to Central Earth, then I escaped."
This bad old man, must be Compassionate Sage?
It clicked!
Little Qilin indeed originates from the eighteen Saint Realm prison cells as a prisoner.
But does it truly have Saint Realm cultivation? Did it actually live for ten thousand years?
Why was it imprisoned here?
Jiang Fan felt his brain was inadequate for the first ti.
Boom boom—
anwhile, vibrations ca from outside the array.
It was Butterfly Fairy anxiously knocking on his cell. Though the sound was isolated, he could guess she wanted Jiang Fan to bring her in.
Jiang Fan chuckled, shrugging his shoulders helplessly.
Butterfly Fairy slightly clenched her teeth, reluctantly taking out a World Artifact necklace, making a gesture to hand it to Jiang Fan.
"That’s more like it." Jiang Fan’s eyes lit up; he had been waiting for Butterfly Fairy to produce the necklace.
However, Butterfly Fairy was so cunning, he didn’t dare let her in directly.
Imdiately, he grabbed the leash, compared it to his neck, then pointed at Butterfly Fairy.
The latter instantly understood, her charming eyes flashed with humiliation, yet, perhaps feeling Taotie’s approach, she quickly nodded.
Jiang Fan didn’t delay, handing the small bag and leash to Little Qilin.
Whoosh, Little Qilin dashed out of the array with both items.
Butterfly Fairy hesitated briefly, then indignantly put the chain around her neck.
A formless force instantly confined her, making her slump weakly on the ground, limbs on the floor, with her rear slightly raised.
Little Qilin blinked, "Why does she look like now?"
Saying so, it tugged open the small bag with two little claws, packing her in.
About to leave, it glimpsed Wang Chongxiao not far away, noticing sothing in his arms, and packed him too.
"Us too, us too!" Three Alien Race powerhouses slumped on the ground, urgently pleading for help.
Little Qilin was about to move forward but suddenly sensed sothing, its brown-red fur instantly stood on end, and it dashed into the array.
Having barely entered the array with the bag, the array shook intensely from an external attack.
Focusing on his view, the array that trapped Saint Realm had been clawed by an unidentified attack, leaving a long, bloody claw mark!
The indestructible cell stone walls also bore a terrifying claw imprint!
Upon further inspection of the three Alien Race powerhouses, there was no sign of them anymore!
Only a blood puddle remained!
Jiang Fan gasped, he hadn’t even seen what it was, yet three Great Venerates of the Heavenly Human Five Declines were devoured!
Bang!
Suddenly, a dull sound ca from above the cell; the cell suspended in mid-air crashed harshly to the ground.
A series of low, fierce snarls hovered above the cell.
It’s Taotie!
Unsatisfied, unable to devour them, Taotie’s claws screeched against the tal cell door.
Dripping saliva sizzled as it corroded the tal materials.
Little Qilin jumped into Jiang Fan’s embrace, fearfully staring at the ceiling, trembling, Jiang Fan did not dare breathe loudly either.
Fortunately, perhaps Jiang Fan’s cultivation was too low, Taotie was uninterested.
After wandering for a while, it leapt away, its terrifying winged beast shadow vaguely projected over the ground.
As the cell relaxed, it floated back into mid-air.
Phew!
Jiang Fan exhaled deeply, narrowly escaping.
If Little Qilin had been a bit slower, he might have been in danger.
Still, Jiang Fan dared not venture out for now; if Taotie hadn’t gone far, it could return in a breath.
Seizing the mont, he opened the bag, releasing Butterfly Fairy and Wang Chongxiao.
"Release !" Butterfly Fairy, lying on the ground, her fair, pretty face slightly rosy.
What chain is this, making one lie like a Spiritual Pet? It’s not odd on a man, but the posture is awkward on a woman.
Jiang Fan ignored her; she couldn’t escape anyway.
Ti to search Wang Chongxiao.
No, ti to reclaim his treasure.
Jiang Fan quickly spotted sothing in Wang Chongxiao’s embrace, tearing open his clothes to reveal a square Jade Plate.
Inscribed densely with intricate patterns, possessing so profound magic.
"What is this?" Jiang Fan attempted to infuse so spiritual power.
The Jade Plate imdiately projected a clear radiance, forming thousands of shards scattered everywhere.
So shards were bright, so dim.
Among them, the brightest and largest lay at the center, radiant like the sun, its light reaching the surrounding ten shards.
Moreover, at each of the four corners, a very bright shard appeared, second only to the central one.
Butterfly Fairy raised her head to see, exclaiming:
"Wang Chongxiao is truly remarkable, even having such a detailed Void Map."
