Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 1900: Chapter 1943: Dead Sound Pirates

After knocking out Butterfly Fairy, Jiang Fan finally put away the dog leash.

Then he kicked her into the void.

A voice filled with the sound of the Nine Nether Demon Venerable’s twitching lips came from his mind: "Such a pretty woman, and you can still kick her?"

"Doesn’t quite match your persona of collecting beauties in Central Earth."

Huh?

Jiang Fan was speechless: "Senior, do you have some misunderstandings about me?"

Nine Nether Demon Venerable replied: "Misunderstanding? That’s the consensus among Central Earth People."

"If you don’t agree, say all the names of your women and confidants in one breath."

Jiang Fan opened his mouth, and images of different faces flashed in his mind.

Okay, I really can’t say them all in one breath.

It takes ten breaths, actually.

"Senior, let’s hurry up and leave, the void is really unsafe." Jiang Fan cautiously looked around.

Fearful the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis might suddenly attack.

Nine Nether Demon Venerable said: "This place... is indeed unsafe."

Jiang Fan stopped speaking, took out the Void Map, and after locating the direction of Central Earth, he hurriedly set off.

Half a day later.

Jiang Fan’s speed slowed down because the Holy Power in the Void Wings had significantly weakened, preventing him from flying as swiftly as before; he could only move at a normal pace.

"Fortunately, it’s not far, at this speed I can reach Central Earth in half a day."

Jiang Fan was on edge the whole way, relieved that the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis did not attack.

But just as he breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, waves in the void surged from behind, as if a massive object was rapidly approaching, pushing the void along.

Jiang Fan turned his head and saw in the distance, faintly, a large black ship charging after them.

On its blood-red mast was a white skull insignia.

Aura after aura of the Sages was unabashedly emanating from the ship.

Jiang Fan was puzzled: "Senior, that’s..."

Before he could finish, Nine Nether Demon Venerable said: "Void pirates."

Hmm?

Jiang Fan was shocked: "There are pirates in the void... too?"

Nine Nether Demon Venerable said: "There have always been, their origins are untraceable, but they’ve been active in the void for over ten thousand years."

"Normally, they raid travelers in the void and small worlds, becoming most active during the ancient dark creatures’ invasions of the Hundred Realms of All Heavens every millennium."

"They take advantage of those worlds being preoccupied with fending off dark creatures to raid."

Jiang Fan was astonished to find such a force existing in the void.

"But, why are they coming after us? Is it a coincidence?" Jiang Fan was puzzled.

Nine Nether Demon Venerable shook his head: "It’s not a coincidence."

"They were waiting outside the Sumeru Divine Prison all along."

It turns out, when Nine Nether Demon Venerable mentioned danger here, it wasn’t just referring to the Sumeru Divine Prison but also the pirates outside.

Jiang Fan’s expression changed: "Could it be they know I obtained treasures inside, so they’re chasing relentlessly?"

Thinking of this, he took out the Bronze Ladder, observing the situation.

Since the Void Feather Robe couldn’t outrun the large ship, he might as well see if he could negotiate.

Swoosh——

In the silent waves of the void sea, the black ship gradually stopped in front of them.

The ship was enormous, standing beneath it was like looking up at a towering mountain, with no visible end.

Four One Calamity Realm Sages flew down, wearing robes of different colors, their expressions either stern or fierce.

They all seemed like ruthless people who had been through life-and-death battles.

Noticing their One Calamity Realm aura, Jiang Fan felt confident and said: "Why have you stopped me, what’s the matter?"

A man in a black robe, with a permanent scar inflicted by laws on his face, looked at him coldly:

"It’s not us who’s after you; our young lady wants to have a word with you!"

Young lady?

Jiang Fan looked puzzled: "Do I know your young lady?"

Just after speaking, a giggling voice grinding silver teeth came from the ship.

"I barely left, and you’ve already forgotten me."

"Jiang Yitian, you have such a big heart."

A beautiful girl in a white dress, with lovely pink butterfly wings on her back and colorful antennae on her forehead, floated down.

She held her head with one hand, occasionally showing a pained expression, and her bright eyes glared angrily at Jiang Fan.

Oh no!

Jiang Fan was dumbfounded: "It’s you, you cunning thing!"

He was wondering, who from the Insect Realm could be so sly and treacherous?

Turns out she was from a pirate background!

"You’re the cunning one, the biggest cunning in the world!" Butterfly Fairy retorted fiercely.

Unfortunately, her voice was too loud, and her head hurt, so she quickly lowered her volume, sucking in cold air.

The Sage with the law scars on his face said darkly:

"Miss, this person ruined your trial, should we dismantle him?"

Butterfly Fairy glared at Jiang Fan with fury:

"You scoundrel, our Dead Sound Pirates are selecting a new Ninth Master, whoever wins will become the Ninth Master, and will earn enough merit to ascend to the Virtuous Realm."

"We have ten candidates, each executing a task, and my task was to infiltrate the Sumeru Divine Prison and obtain as many treasures as possible."

"As a result, you seized them all!"

"Return them to me!"

Unknowingly getting involved in the Dead Sound Pirates’ selection for the Ninth Master.

Jiang Fan was also speechless, but giving back the treasures was impossible for him.

He took out the Bronze Ladder and said: "You haven’t forgotten I possess this, have you?"

The four Sage pirates’ expressions slightly changed seeing this, and they said: "Miss, how does your Protective Dharma Treasure end up in his hands?"

Butterfly Fairy couldn’t bring herself to speak.

She hadn’t mentioned being led around like a dog by Jiang Fan.

If the pirates knew, she’d be even more humiliated.

"No matter, the Bronze Ladder requires the Power of Laws, and him being at the Divinity Transformation Realm, once he uses it, he can’t use it a second time."

"He can’t escape our grasp!"

Jiang Fan jokingly said: "So you’ll let me escape once?"

The Power of Laws, he didn’t have, but Nine Nether Demon Venerable had plenty!

Butterfly Fairy was about to sneer, but suddenly, she sensed something and looked towards the void behind her.

Jiang Fan also felt a heat on his forehead, looking towards the void.

Only to see in the pitch-black void, a faint blood-red color staining the sky, and the blood light was rushing towards them.

The four Dead Sound Pirate Sages’ faces changed drastically.

"Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis? Why... why is he appearing here?"

There was a hint of fear in the Sage’s voice.

Jiang Fan’s expression also became extremely serious.

The Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis hadn’t given up hunting him?

Changing his focus, Jiang Fan said: "Butterfly Fairy, take a look, you’ve been doing nothing but wicked deeds all this time, even the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis couldn’t stand it, and came specifically to deal with you all!"

"Why don’t you fight against him?"

Butterfly Fairy and the four Sages were also on guard, feeling anxious, recalling every bad thing they’ve done in their lives.

But no matter how they thought, they couldn’t figure out when they provoked the super terrifying Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis.

Until they saw the gleaming "blood" character on Jiang Fan’s forehead, their expressions collectively froze.

Butterfly Fairy, enraged, clenched her pink fists: "Wipe off the blood character on your forehead before you speak!"

This scoundrel, the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis was clearly after him, yet he was inciting them to fight the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis!

The four Sages were also itching with hatred: "Miss, we should retreat first, let this scoundrel get hunted to death by the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis, then we’ll take what’s ready."

Butterfly Fairy nodded, chuckled and said: "Though I don’t know how you’re drawing the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis to hunt you, given you’re just a small Divinity Transformation."

"But, I wish you good luck."

"Jiang Yitian!"
