Jiang Fan certainly did not forget that before leaving the continent for Taicang State, he went to meet with the Spirit Sound Priestess.
The Spirit Sound Priestess handed him a letter, instructing that if he ever had the chance to meet a person named the Heavenly Mechanism Elder, he should give the letter to him.
Now that he has finally met him, he should fulfill the Spirit Sound Priestess’s instructions.
The Heavenly Mechanism Elder wondered: "Who is it?"
"I’m not familiar with you people from Taicang State."
Jiang Fan shook his head, saying: "I’m only responsible for delivering the letter. As for other matters, I am not aware."
He felt puzzled in his heart.
Before meeting the Heavenly Mechanism Elder, he hadn’t thought there was anything unusual about Spirit Sound’s letter.
However, having witnessed the Heavenly Mechanism Elder’s cultivation level on par with at least a Divinity Transformation Venerable, he was amazed.
Just what kind of power does the Spirit Sound Priestess possess?
To be associated with such a mysterious and powerful figure like the Heavenly Mechanism Elder?
The Heavenly Mechanism Elder also showed confusion, stretched out his hand, and said: "Let me see the letter."
Jiang Fan took out the letter, and in the next moment, it instantaneously moved into the dirty old hand of the Heavenly Mechanism Elder.
With gray-white eyebrows furrowed, the Heavenly Mechanism Elder unfolded it to take a look.
After just one glance, he shrieked in fright!
Stumbling back, he rolled off the broad back of the green ox, plunging into the seawater.
Yet he held the letter high above with both hands, not daring to let it get wet,
As if it were a sacred decree from the emperor, held by a commoner in awe.
He shivered as he climbed out, trembling as he spoke:
"She... she... she’s still alive?"
Jiang Fan looked utterly confused.
Who is the "she" mentioned here?
Is it the Spirit Sound Priestess?
Or someone even more powerful?
Even the Bodhisattva found this intriguing, eyes flashing with the light of wisdom, clearly contemplating who the "she" the Heavenly Mechanism Elder referred to could be.
To command such respect from the Heavenly Mechanism Elder, it was almost unimaginable who this powerful being might be.
The Heavenly Mechanism Elder swallowed hard multiple times, finally calming the storm in his heart, as he moved his aging eyes toward the contents of the letter.
The letter was clearly not large, and contained just a few brief lines.
Yet the Heavenly Mechanism Elder studied it for a full minute!
He carefully looked at each word, not daring to hastily skim.
After reading it, his face showed awe, along with a hint of embarrassment.
Finally, his gaze fell on Jiang Fan, filled with caution, his demeanor now polite, even somewhat respectful.
He clasped his hands, saying: "Friend Jiang, that person..."
After a pause, he corrected himself: "Did the writer of this letter have anything else to say?"
Jiang Fan was surprised.
Could the Heavenly Mechanism Elder actually fear the Spirit Sound Priestess?
He was a bit taken aback.
What is the identity of the Spirit Sound Priestess?
To make the Heavenly Mechanism Elder frightened to this level?
When he interacted with her, aside from finding her mysterious, he didn’t feel anything particularly unusual?
He recalled that when he first met the Spirit Sound Priestess, he even used the enchantment powder for the Six Harmonies Immortal to threaten her.
And he was still alive and well?
He speculated, replying: "No other instructions, only that I should hand over the letter to you."
"But what does the letter say?"
"I saw you looked quite troubled."
The Heavenly Mechanism Elder’s old face flushed, and he said:
"The letter commands two things: one is to divine for you to predict fortune or misfortune."
"Another... is for me to streak naked, running around the Central Earth Nine Provinces."
Whoosh!
Jiang Fan almost popped his eyes out.
