Jiang Fan’s heart leapt to his throat!
Linglong is only at the Heavenly Human Second Decline, how could she endure the casual glance of the black cat’s eyes?
She is, after all, Chaoge’s own sister!
Though it seemed slow, it was fast, and Jiang Fan didn’t even have time to warn her, he just instantly moved to her side.
Then he pulled her into his arms, facing the black cat with his own back.
Linglong raised her delicate eyebrows, staring coldly at Jiang Fan:
"Just separated from Chaoge, and you are being flippant with me? Does this person truly have no untoward desires towards Chaoge?"
Threads of murderous intent flickered in her eyes.
Boom—
Suddenly, a muffled burst resonated by his ear.
Jiang Fan’s back seemed to be struck by an immense force, making him stagger forward and tumble along with Linglong.
Blood surged up his throat, almost bursting forth.
Though he managed to hold back, strands of blood trickled down from the corner of his mouth.
The pain in his face couldn’t be entirely suppressed, his features twisted together.
It was only then Linglong noticed the black smoke billowing behind Jiang Fan, a chaotic dance of array power.
Six black array stones had cracked open.
And behind where she had been standing was a black cat with eyes emitting ghostly green light, releasing space power.
"Space Law Quasi-Realm Artifact?"
Linglong finally realized, Jiang Fan wasn’t being flippant with her — he was saving her!
Seeing the black cat’s eyes brighten again, Linglong’s gaze cooled, aiming to destroy it with a point of her finger.
Jiang Fan, however, despite the pain, took out an oil lamp.
It was the Buddha’s oil lamp, containing a trace of Buddhist charm, upon casting, the breath of all creatures within its candlelight’s range would be concealed.
It can be detected under the Three Calamities Realm, the effect parable to the Third Layer of the "No-Self Dust-Cleansing Technique."
The difference is, the "No-Self Dust-Cleansing Technique" only works for oneself.
The oil lamp works effectively for multiple individuals.
The figures of the two disappeared without a trace, and the black cat lost its attack target, immediately stopping.
Jiang Fan covered Linglong’s lips with one hand, simultaneously gazing into Linglong’s eyes, activating Mute Zen, and said:
"Pardon me, Miss Linglong."
"For now, endure it, do not make a sound."
Linglong looked at Jiang Fan’s slightly pale and painful face, the fierceness in her eyes gradually fading.
In its place was a willful sentiment:
"I’m merely Chaoge’s sister, with Jiang Fan having met only once, yet he can risk his life to shield me from danger."
"If Chaoge were in danger, how would he protect her, goes without saying."
"No wonder Chaoge says, he is only ruthless to enemies, but kind to his own."
"This kindness leaves one speechless."
"It’s just... is he always like this to Chaoge too?"
At the moment, she was held by Jiang Fan’s waist, her entire body tucked into his scorching embrace, her chest pressed against his.
Her mouth was tightly covered by Jiang Fan’s large hand.
An unusual feeling she hadn’t felt in a long time flashed through her mind, gently pushing Jiang Fan away.
Upon seeing her understand, Jiang Fan also let go of her, turning to look at the black cat.
Seizing the illumination of the Buddhist lamp, Jiang Fan swiftly approached its side, taking out some cloth strips to wrap around its eyes.
Just as he was about to put it away, his sleeve was tugged.
Looking back, he met Linglong’s gaze, and her elegant voice echoed in his mind:
"A typical cloth strip can’t block this Quasi-Realm Artifact’s space law."
Oh?
Is this really a Quasi-Realm Artifact?
Jiang Fan secretly excited, also feeling grateful, transmitted a thought: "Thank you for the reminder, Miss Linglong."
After pondering briefly, Jiang Fan took out a glob of Mysterious Demon Liquid to coat the black cat’s eyes.
Linglong’s gaze grew solemn: "Mysterious Demon Liquid? True Demon’s fodder?"
"Has a True Demon descended in Central Earth?"
"If a True Demon awakens, Heavenly Realm, Central Earth, Hell, none will escape!"
A flicker of shock crossed her eyes:
"Could Central Earth be nurturing demons, intending to use them as a final trump card?"
"Upon Central Earth’s destruction, to release a True Demon for apocalypse?"
Realizing this, she was immensely frightened.
Central Earth is truly insane, daring to plot against the True Demon.
"Don’t be afraid, Miss Linglong, the Mysterious Demon Liquid itself doesn’t harm people."
Seeing her expression change, Jiang Fan assumed it was due to the Mysterious Demon Liquid.
Linglong collected her thoughts, brushed her hair behind her ear, and reminded: "Young Master Jiang, it’s best to have less contact with such liquid."
"It’s the terror source in the world, do not get entangled in cause and effect."
Jiang Fan, startled, looked at Linglong in surprise.
Is this sister of Chaoge so knowledgeable?
She seems aware of both the function and origin of Mysterious Demon Liquid.
He nodded lightly: "I understand, thank you for the reminder, Miss Linglong. We’ll step back and test the Mysterious Demon Liquid’s effect."
He pulled Linglong back to a safe place, then initiated protection for both.
Only then did he extinguish the Buddhist lamp.
Their breath appearing, a mysterious fluctuation surged from the black cat’s body, its eyes flashed an unstable green glow.
But the obstruction from the Mysterious Demon Liquid prevented its space law from emerging.
"It’s worked!" Jiang Fan smiled, and remotely grabbed it into his palm to examine.
Linglong nodded secretly: "Bold yet cautious, decisive yet meticulous. Reaching this step today, it’s not merely from parental gifts of world artifacts."
She curiously inquired:
"Young Master Jiang’s skill, your father and mother in Central Earth are surely renowned sages?"
Jiang Fan replied: "I have no mother, and my father was just an ordinary man, deceased for more than nine years."
Oh?
Linglong secretly marveled, surprisingly a young man from a humble background.
She couldn’t fathom how Jiang Fan had ascended from the lowest layer to his current prestigious position.
No doubt, it must have been very challenging.
She looked at Jiang Fan, unable to deny a growing admiration.
A person growing through adversity holds a potential future.
"If only you were of my Angel Clan, for your current prestige and fame, I wouldn’t object to you marrying Chaoge."
"Unfortunately, you aren’t of my clan."
Jiang Fan, oblivious to being scrutinized through a mother-in-law’s perspective, surveyed the surroundings and said:
"Although the black cat is subdued, we seem to be trapped in a boundless space."
Extending his divine sense, he still couldn’t detect its limits.
Linglong surveyed a bit, saying: "We are within the law space of a Nine-winged Great Angel."
What?
Jiang Fan’s expression changed, the law space of a Nine-winged Great Angel?
Linglong said calmly: "To leave, there are two ways. One is to break the Nine-winged Great Angel’s power of laws."
"The other is to await rescue..."
Pausing, Linglong’s gaze narrowed slightly, fixating on a piece of green-black land, saying, "There seems to be something else here."
She waved her sleeve, scattering rays of holy light, whereupon the vague areas became remarkably clear.
Not far from the black cat, the green-black land revealed an ancient floating stone monument.
It was inscribed with Angel Clan’s characters.
Linglong stared at the text, frowning, musing, "Ancient Angel Language?"
"Such language had long vanished with that terrifying Holy Angel’s fall."
"I wonder what’s engraved on the monument."
However, to Linglong’s shock.
Beside her, Jiang Fan was reading the inscription aloud:
"Quasi-Immortal Technique, ’Unity Ancestor Scripture.’"
