Chapter 1080: Star Shifting
Chapter 1080: Chapter 1080: Star Shifting
The Heavenly Mechanism Elder was visibly panicked.
When he discovered that Jiang Fan had two strands of celestial mechanism on him, he foresaw that this person was extraordinary.
If he helped Venerate Xinnie to intercept and kill him, it would certainly invoke divine retribution.
But he didn’t expect the divine retribution to be so terrifying.
Looking at the Thunderbolt Origin in his hand, the Heavenly Mechanism Elder regretted so much that he slapped his thigh:
"This deal was a huge loss!"
"What kind of freak is the Young Emperor and Venerate Xinnie trying to deal with?"
"The divine retribution is too frightening."
At this moment.
The boils on his body were still rapidly increasing, quickly covering him in sores.
The big green ox turned its head and thought it saw a human-shaped toad.
Immediately, goosebumps rose up on the ox’s skin.
It hoofed him disdainfully and threw him down.
The Heavenly Mechanism Elder was frightened as well.
If this continues, he will die here.
He quickly clasped his hands toward the sky and said:
"Please wait, allow me to make amends."
The existence in the void seemed to sense something.
The boils on the Heavenly Mechanism Elder’s body gradually disappeared, eventually restoring his original appearance.
This allowed him to let out a sigh of relief and sit down heavily on the ground.
"Whew! That was close."
"Almost lost my life."
"What is that kid’s background?"
On the other side.
The Great Yin Sect mountain gate.
The Six-Path Masters were dressed in a red kasaya.
Holding a golden bowl in his left hand and a Zen staff in his right, his head was clean-shaven and had ritual scars.
His forehead’s veins throbbed:
"Kid, why am I the one pretending to be a monk?"
He tilted his head at Jiang Fan, who was still young, handsome, and elegantly dressed in black.
He felt it was very unfair.
Jiang Fan scrutinized him and said, "Evil Crow Venerable has seen me and knows I’m not a disciple of Buddhism."
"But he hasn’t seen you, so you’re better suited to disguise as one from Buddhism."
The Six-Path Masters gritted his teeth and said, "Alright."
"So, what do you want me to do?"
"Surely you don’t think pretending to be a Buddhism disciple will scare Evil Crow Venerable and make him hesitate?"
Jiang Fan laughed like a little fox and said, "Ordinary Buddhism disciples can’t intimidate Evil Crow Venerable."
Without waiting for the Six-Path Masters to understand.
Jiang Fan walked to the reward board and tore down the bounty poster for the Ancient Giant.
He looked up and shouted, "Venerate Xinnie’s named disciple Jiang Fan, Heavenly Listening Bodhisattva’s secular disciple Six-Path."
"Successfully captured the Ancient Giant, here to meet Evil Crow Venerable."
Upon hearing the first identity, the Six-Path Masters had an ominous premonition.
Once he heard the latter, he was so frightened that his soul almost left his body!
Don’t you know that the Heavenly Listening Bodhisattva listens to the sounds of all things?
Especially when you mention "Bodhisattva" or "Heavenly Listening Bodhisattva", it immediately reaches their ears.
How dare you pretend to be the Bodhisattva’s disciple?
Wait a minute!
This scoundrel didn’t dare to pretend himself, so he makes me pretend!
The Six-Path Masters were so angry he wanted to use a Zen staff and send Jiang Fan to Heaven at once.
He immediately wanted to tear off the kasaya.
Pretending to be the secular disciple of the Bodhisattva is not acceptable.
If the Bodhisattva comes to the door saying, "Buddha fulfills mortal wishes, I shall fulfill your wish."
And then he gets converted on the spot, where would he go to cry?
But at this moment.
The air suddenly solidified around them.
His vision darkened, and when clarity returned.
He found himself deep within the Great Yin Sect, at the peak of a mountain.
On the mountain peak, Yin Qi was densely gathered, with strange arrays carved everywhere.
There were various corpses surrounding him.
Most were from the Human Clan, but there were also a few from the Demon Race, Sea Demon Clan, and some unfamiliar races.
At the center of the mountain peak.
There was a gigantic Furnace enveloped in flames, emitting thick black smoke.
Within the Furnace, there were wails and shrieks, along with sounds of someone banging against the Furnace walls.
Incredibly, there seemed to be living people inside!
Beside the Black Furnace stood a middle-aged man in a black robe with a crow tattoo on his face.
He gazed at the Six-Path Masters and Jiang Fan with a blank expression.
He casually swept over the Six-Path Masters and then focused on Jiang Fan.
"You must be the guest of True Word Venerable, right?"
Jiang Fan was deeply shocked.
He hadn’t even noticed how he came here, yet he was instantly teleported!
The methods were so terrifying that it was astonishing.
Comparatively, that Giant King probably didn’t even have thirty percent of Evil Crow Venerable’s strength!
This is the true power of a Venerable!
Thump, thump, thump!
At this moment, urgent knocking sounds came again from the Black Furnace.
Jiang Fan glanced suspiciously at the Black Furnace and said:
"Indeed, it is the junior."
Sensing Jiang Fan’s gaze, Evil Crow Venerable didn’t shy away and said:
"Some disobedient folks, too valuable to kill."
"Instead, just refine them into Yin Corpses."
"If you’d like one, I’ll give you one later."
"Provided you truly bring back the Ancient Giant."
Jiang Fan’s heart trembled.
It seemed Evil Crow Venerable remained as ruthless as ever.
Refining live people into Yin Corpses!
Brutal beyond imagination!
He clasped his hands and said, "To report to the senior, we have indeed captured a living Ancient Giant."
He took out a piece of crystal and infused it with spiritual power.
An image was projected into the air.
Inside was an underground space with a tightly bound Ancient Giant struggling desperately.
Evil Crow Venerable’s pupils shook, revealing joy: "You actually found a living Ancient Giant!"
"Good, good!"
"But why didn’t you bring it over?"
He glanced around Jiang Fan and the Six-Path Masters, his voice suddenly becoming cold:
"Why, afraid I won’t keep my promise?"
Both felt their insides churn.
Jiang Fan withstood the pressure of his gaze, calmly clasped his hands and said:
"Please calm down, senior, we mean no such thing."
"Now all major sects and countless formidable ones are searching for the Ancient Giant."
"How dare we parade him around openly to the Great Yin Sect?"
Upon hearing this fairly reasonable explanation.
Evil Crow Venerable’s voice slightly calmed, quietly saying:
"You managed to capture a live Ancient Giant, that speaks volumes."
"There’s no need to be so cautious."
"Fine, take me to retrieve the Ancient Giant."
Jiang Fan clasped his hands hesitantly and asked, "Senior, could I first exchange for the reward?"
Evil Crow Venerable frowned and impatiently said:
"The reward I give is one intervention."
"Have you decided so quickly on what you want me to do?"
Jiang Fan quickly replied, "Senior, the junior wishes to exchange for another reward."
Upon hearing this.
Evil Crow Venerable calculated and said, "Speak first."
One intervention, this request seemed simple but was extremely troublesome.
If the opponent requested intervention during the Ancient Giant’s arrival to protect them.
Wouldn’t he have to neglect the Great Yin Sect?
So, if Jiang Fan proposed a more feasible request, he was naturally willing to exchange.
Jiang Fan said, "The junior has heard of the senior’s expertise in a Cultivation Technique called ’Star Shifting’."
"The junior has admired it for long, daring to seek a glimpse."
Evil Crow Venerable squinted his eyes.
An imposing aura invisibly emanated:
"Coveting the Cultivation Technique of the I?"
"You have quite the guts!"
