Chapter 1473 - 1503: Return
Chapter 1473: Chapter 1503: Return
Five days later.
Demon Continent, Qintian Bureau.
Jiang Fan brought Yue Mingzhu to the state-level teleportation array island leading to Returning Ruins State.
"We’ll see each other again after the Ancient Giant battle."
"Take care of yourself."
Reluctantly, Yue Mingzhu left Jiang Fan’s embrace, stepping into the teleportation array with frequent backward glances.
As the array activated, a white light swallowed her.
Jiang Fan waved his hand, smiling, "Live on, Ming Zhu."
Yue Mingzhu watched Jiang Fan wave farewell, feeling an inexplicable tumult in her heart.
She vaguely felt as if this was a final goodbye.
But all she managed to say was "Take care," as she was swept away by the Space Power.
Jiang Fan’s smile faded, and he stood silently for a long time.
He finally murmured, "Live well."
"No matter whether you will see me again."
He leaped to the teleportation island heading to Taicang State.
Just as he was about to enter, a series of bell-like laughter echoed from the main island.
"Great Wine Sacrifice, Black Dragon Venerable left with his cave abode, and we of the Demon Continent have lost a Supreme to resist the enemy."
In the main hall, a commander who had rushed back from Spiritual Snake Mountain reported solemnly.
"Haha, never mind, if the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up!" Great Wine Sacrifice laughed and waved his hand, quite carefree.
Jiang Fan couldn’t help but admire Great Wine Sacrifice’s responsibility.
In the face of disaster, she stood alone, holding up a piece of sky for the creatures of the Demon Continent.
Comparing to the drunkard Great Wine Sacrifice of Great Wilderness State, the promiscuous Great Wine Sacrifice of Hunyuan State, the crybaby Great Wine Sacrifice of Returning Ruins State, the Great Wine Sacrifice of Demon Continent was quite normal indeed.
The commander was overjoyed and said, "Does Great Wine Sacrifice have a way to turn the tide?"
"Hahaha!" Great Wine Sacrifice laughed heartily, "Not at all!"
"I no longer have the opportunity to act! You’ll have to fend off the Ancient Giants yourselves!"
Uh~
The commander was stupefied, "Then... what’s the chance of success relying only on Golden Scale Venerate and the demons?"
Great Wine Sacrifice laughed again, "Hahaha, that’s a good question!"
"In my opinion, we have at least... a ten percent chance of winning."
Ten... ten percent?
Isn’t that a one-in-ten chance of survival?
The commander was dumbfounded, "Then why is Great Wine Sacrifice still laughing?"
Great Wine Sacrifice looked up and laughed, with tears streaming down her face, "I want to cry too."
"But I can’t cry, I can only laugh."
"Hahaha."
"Hahahahaha~"
Jiang Fan felt a chill in his scalp, and quickly slipped into the teleportation array, activating the array in a flash.
As the white light engulfed him, he was instantly teleported away.
Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
"I take back what I said earlier, the Great Wine Sacrifice of Demon Continent is also an abnormal person!"
Jiang Fan was somewhat powerless to ridicule.
It truly fulfilled what the commander of Great Wilderness State had said.
Except for the somewhat normal Great Wine Sacrifice of Taicang State, all other Great Wine Sacrifices were somewhat mentally unsound.
The Great Wine Sacrifice of Demon Continent was no exception.
Combining the Law of "Always Keep Smiling" she gave to Jiang Fan, she was the opposite of the Great Wine Sacrifice of Returning Ruins State.
One loved to cry.
The other loved to laugh.
The kind who would laugh even at death...
"What’s with the Great Wine Sacrifices?" Jiang Fan was puzzled, "All good people are a bit abnormal."
"And, the Laughing Great Wine Sacrifice said she no longer has the opportunity to act."
"Why is that?"
"Does the Ancient Giant battle have some rules that restrict the Great Wine Sacrifice from acting?"
"That can’t be possible, right?"
"When dealing with the Hell Creatures, the Laughing Great Wine Sacrifice fought fiercely too."
Soon, as the teleportation intensified, he became dizzy, unable to think further.
At Spiritual Snake Mountain.
Golden Scale Venerate looked at the terribly scarred mountains and the demon race with countless casualties, his face filled with uncontrollable anger.
"If the Ancient Giants don’t kill Black Dragon Venerable, I will destroy him myself!"
"Even if I have to chase him to the ends of the earth, I will take his head to offer to the innocent souls!"
Originally, while Golden Scale Venerate and Ice Heart Venerate were repairing a Void Rift, Black Dragon Venerable fled back to Spiritual Snake Mountain and moved his cave abode.
Before leaving, out of vengeance, he massacred the demons at Spiritual Snake Mountain.
Although the two returned in time, they still caused a large number of casualties.
After days of rescue efforts, they couldn’t save many.
At the critical moment of the Ancient Giant’s arrival, Black Dragon Venerable repeatedly caused major demon race casualties, making him a traitor of the demon race!
Ice Heart Venerate sighed slightly, "Fortunately, your daughter and Ling Shu narrowly escaped the disaster."
"Otherwise, I wouldn’t know how to explain it to Jiang Fan’s soul."
Hearing this, Golden Scale Venerate was full of shame.
Calculating the time, five days have passed, Jiang Fan has already drifted to the deepest part of the Void.
He’s likely been killed by the chaotic space currents in the Void.
Not only did he fail to protect Jiang Fan, but he also almost didn’t protect Ling Shu.
He cupped his hands toward Ice Heart Venerate, "Please, Ice Heart Venerate, keep Jiang Fan’s death a secret."
"At least, don’t let them know before the Ancient Giant battle ends."
Ice Heart Venerate gazed with pity at the two fragile girls on the ground.
Especially Ling Shu.
Finally seeing the light after a long wait with Jiang Fan, only to be separated by life and death.
She nodded gently, "How could I bear to tell them the truth?"
Shaking her head, she said, "Since Black Dragon Venerable has already escaped Demon Continent, I’ll take my leave."
Golden Scale Venerate said, "Are you going to Taicang State?"
Ice Heart Venerate did not hide it, "Yes, I want to find the holder of the Ancient Token, to assess whether they are qualified to possess it."
"If not, I need to change the owner of the Ancient Token."
Golden Scale Venerate nodded, "That’s how it should be."
"The Ancient Token is our last retreat route from Central Earth, if Central Earth is completely defeated, the hope lies with it."
"The holder must not fail."
"Do you need my help?"
Ice Heart Venerate shook her head, "I have a way to find him."
"But, there is another matter I need to consult Golden Scale Venerate about."
Mentioning this, the typically gentle and pure Ice Heart Venerate’s expression turned dark.
"Have you ever seen a special Magic Artifact during your travels?"
"It’s a fishing line with a golden hook."
Golden Scale Venerate pondered, "A fishing line and hook? It must be a fishing Magic Artifact, right?"
"I haven’t seen that."
"Why do you ask?"
Ice Heart Venerate couldn’t help but clutch her chest.
These days, the more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and the angrier she became, the more she thought about it.
Who is such a shameless pervert?
Stealing her undergarments?
Are they sick?
If she doesn’t catch the lecherous thief and crush him, she won’t be able to quell her anger.
Ice Heart Venerate secretly clenched her fist, "Nothing much."
"Just dislike those fishermen who can catch everything but fish!"
"Goodbye."
She cupped her hand, then teleported away.
Leaving Golden Scale Venerate dumbfounded, "Who upset her like this?"
Taicang State.
Ugh~
Jiang Fan held onto the wall, vomiting once again.
"That damn state-level teleportation array, even dogs wouldn’t want to use it!"
At the entrance, the long-waited raspy laugh of Great Wine Sacrifice sounded.
"You said the same thing when you returned from Hunyuan State."
