Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 1409: Chapter 1428: Heavenly Remnant City Lord Returns

Venerable Lianjing glanced at the Young City Lord indifferently.

She looked at Jiang Fan and said, "Come with me back to Young Emperor Mountain first."

With the protection of Young Emperor Mountain, the Heavenly Remnant City Lord could do nothing to Jiang Fan.

Moreover, would the Heavenly Remnant City Lord have the nerve to spread the scandal that happened in the seven cities of Heavenly Abyss, to make the Heavenly State aware?

Heavenly State is the center of the Nine States, unlike Taicang State.

There exist some forbidden beings there.

Should they learn of the deeds by the Half-Giants, it’s likely they would cross states to annihilate the entire race.

Jiang Fan nodded, temporarily setting aside his worries.

With his foster mother safeguarding him, he could indeed leave Returning Ruins State alive.

However.

Just as they were preparing to leave.

The ground suddenly shook tremendously.

At the horizon, a black line shot forward rapidly.

Taking a closer look.

It was not a string, but a void fissure created by a powerful body moving swiftly!

Jiang Fan had only seen this phenomenon from one person before.

That was the Five-star Giant King!

Only such frighteningly powerful bodies could shatter the void.

Venerable Lianjing sensed the immense pressure as well, her expression changed and she shouted, "Let’s hurry!"

She dared not linger, summoned a mirror, and took Jiang Fan within.

However.

A dignified cold snort, like an arrow, pierced through the sky.

"You cannot leave!"

With a bang, the surrounding space shook violently.

Venerable Lianjing, in the midst of instantaneous movement, was forced out of the void.

Her face turned slightly pale, and blood dripped from her fingertips.

Yet Jiang Fan, under her protection, remained unscathed.

She shielded Jiang Fan behind her, coldly watching the rapidly approaching void fissure.

When countless fissures spread to the front, a shadow nine feet tall suddenly appeared in her view.

It was precisely the Heavenly Remnant City Lord!

Hands behind his back, he slightly frowned, "Venerable Lianjing?"

"What brings you to my Heavenly Remnant City?"

He was somewhat puzzled; there was no association between Heavenly Remnant City and Young Emperor Mountain.

Why had the mother of the Young Emperor come to Heavenly Remnant City?

"Father!" The Young City Lord cried out in agony, "Look!"

He pointed to the ground littered with corpses.

The Heavenly Remnant City Lord swept his gaze across, his massive figure trembling abruptly, hardly believing his eyes!

Six Dharma Image Realm generals, all dead?

This must be a lie, right?

Even in Heavenly State, the fall of a Divinity Transformation Venerable is a monumental event.

It’s an enormous loss, hard for any state to bear.

Moreover, the Half-Giants of Heavenly Remnant City are few, and birthing a Dharma Image Realm is far harder than nurturing a Divinity Transformation Venerable?

To save the Conquering Heaven General, he would rather sacrifice Heavenly Remnant City’s reputation.

Now, the Conquering Heaven General he had defended at all costs is dead.

And five more generals dead as well?

One of them was a Half-Giant at the Three Phases Realm, second only to him in strength!

The extent of the loss was hard for him to believe.

He had been away for less than half the time needed to brew tea!

"What happened here?"

The Young City Lord tearfully pointed at Jiang Fan, filled with resentment, "It was him!"

"He cultivated an evil cultivation technique, temporarily breaking through to Divinity Transformation, and killed them!"

What?

The Heavenly Remnant City Lord incredulously looked at Jiang Fan.

An Eight-Orifice Nascent Soul, slaughtering over half of Heavenly Remnant City’s Dharma Image Realm?

This was equivalent to single-handedly wiping out all the Divinity Transformation Venerables of Taicang State!

Who would dare believe such a thing?

His palm trembled, looking at Jiang Fan with an increasingly intense change.

Disbelief, regret, fury, hatred.

Finally brewing into terrible pressure.

Spurt!

Jiang Fan couldn’t withstand the pressure, spitting out a mouthful of blood on the spot.

This, and Venerable Lianjing taking the brunt of it.

Venerable Lianjing’s face was also slightly pale, a hint of pain showing as she spoke in a deep voice:

"You Half-Giants are brutal beyond measure, my son killing them is acting in accordance with the heavens!"

The Heavenly Remnant City Lord, anger uncontained, thunderously shouted: "Silence!"

"Each general of our Heavenly Remnant City is forged through countless ordeals."

"Could they be compared to ants from Kaiyang City?"

"Not to mention the mere death of a few cities; even all the Dharma cultivator ants of the seven cities of Heavenly Abyss cannot compare to a single finger of the Conquering Heaven General!!!"

Boom!

He took a step towards Jiang Fan and Venerable Lianjing.

A terrifying killing intent erupted all over him!

An almost crazed fury surged in his eyes: "Moreover, this little ant didn’t just kill the Conquering Heaven General!"

"But also, five other generals!"

"Even if he dies a thousand times, ten thousand times, it’s insufficient to atone!"

Under his roar, Venerable Lianjing’s body trembled violently, blood constantly flowing from her mouth.

A Five Phases Realm Half-Giant, comparable to a Heavenly Human Five Declines Great Venerate.

How could she resist that?

Moreover, the opponent was so furious; her identity from Young Emperor Mountain was useless.

Today seemed bleak.

Yet she remained blocking Jiang Fan, calmly saying: "Son, don’t be afraid."

"Foster mother will protect you for a while."

"Think, break into Divinity Transformation again, take down as many beasts as you can!"

"Foster mother will aid you one last time!"

Jiang Fan felt a warmth in his eyes.

These words were too familiar to him.

He gritted his teeth, stepping in front of Venerable Lianjing, saying:

"Foster mother, don’t be foolish."

"Keep your life, kill more Ancient Giants, fewer tragedies for Kaiyang City, that’s what matters."

Then, glared at the Heavenly Remnant City Lord.

He grinned, revealing blood-stained teeth.

His smile was chilling.

"I only regret that I’m too weak, unable to wipe out you Half-Giants!"

"If I, Jiang Fan, attain enlightenment one day, I will correct the wrongs and purge the filth, ensuring there’s no place for you Half-Giants in Central Earth, no longer poisoning the lives of Returning Ruins State!"

The resolute words echoed powerfully.

The Half-Giants present felt chills down their spines.

This was the voice they feared most!

They realized what they had done, knew how many felt the same.

But, with the Heavenly Remnant City keeping watch, protected by the Sage.

No one dared to speak their mind before.

Today, Jiang Fan defied death, publicly swearing to the heavens, stirring inexplicable panic among them.

The Young City Lord’s heart pounded.

He was scared.

Jiang Fan now possessed the power to slay Dharma Image Half-Giants.

Given time, he would eventually reach that day, and then, would there be any path for Half-Giants?

He hastily said: "Father, kill him!"

"Reduce him to nothingness, never to reincarnate!"

Originally full of killing intent, the Heavenly Remnant City Lord’s eyes escalated to extreme levels after Jiang Fan’s words.

Without hesitation, he stomped towards Jiang Fan.

Intending to crush this hidden danger into a bloody pulp!

However.

At this moment.

A fiery figure, like a butterfly, flew swiftly, landing in front of Jiang Fan.

She spread her arms wide, using her slender body to block that terrifying giant foot.

The Heavenly Remnant City Lord’s rationale remained.

He could kill anyone but the heir of Star Mountain.

Otherwise, the Star Mountain Lord would not let it rest.

"Move aside!" He halted his foot, spoke coldly.
