Jiang Fan muttered to himself about the close call, another moment and this Poison Body would have been broken.
But he saw the Central Tribe Emperor leading a group of Giant Emperors, the Five Sins of Central Earth, and the Netherworld Kings rushing over, their expressions clearly tense.
Seeing Jiang Fan alone, the Netherworld King was surprised, "Brother Jiang, why are you alone? Where’s the Sleeping Emperor?"
Jiang Fan gave a bitter smile and said, "I... I barely escaped here by the skin of my teeth."
"Thank you for your offer, but I dare not stay in the Southern Heavenly Realm any longer."
"Farewell."
Hmm?
The Netherworld King was taken aback but quickly realized what had happened, and angrily said, "The Sleeping Emperor is coveting your treasures?"
He knew all too well what kind of nature the Giant Emperors had.
Seizing the chance while alone with Jiang Yitian, they would naturally target Jiang Fan’s remains, especially with many treasures on him.
Jiang Fan sighed and said, "After all the effort to kill Jiang Fan, in the end, someone else got the advantage, and it’s someone I risked my life to protect."
"I consider myself unlucky. I can’t provoke you giants, but I can avoid you."
The Central Tribe Emperor frowned, "Netherworld, what’s going on?"
The Netherworld King frowned and said, "The Sleeping Emperor was attacked and nearly killed by the Nine Nether Demon Venerable, and it was Jiang Yitian who used the Void Feather Robe to save him, almost losing his life in the process."
"Unexpectedly, the Sleeping Emperor instead set his sights on Jiang Yitian’s treasures."
The Central Tribe Emperor snorted through his nose, and the other Giant Emperors and the Five Sins of Central Earth didn’t seem too surprised.
The Giant Emperors were originally artificially created dark creatures filled with a greedy nature.
Pillaging Jiang Fan was nothing unusual at all.
Qingtian Liuxian showed a trace of doubt and said, "Did the Sleeping Emperor really take Jiang Fan’s remains?"
Jiang Fan bitterly smiled, "Senior jokes, the Sleeping Emperor taking something from a junior at the Divinity Transformation Realm, could there be any suspense?"
"It’s a miracle that I am alive."
Qingtian Liuxian still showed doubt and said, "Really? Show me everything you have, I need to check."
Jiang Fan self-deprecatingly laughed, "The Sleeping Emperor searched once, do you also want to search once, Senior?"
"I must have had water in my brain to agree with the Netherworld King to join the Southern Heavenly Realm."
"Didn’t gain any benefit, but was repaid with enmity and searched twice."
"I’ve learned my lesson!"
The named Netherworld King furrowed his brows.
If Jiang Yitian were an ordinary person, no matter how aggrieved, it wasn’t his concern.
But, Jiang Yitian was the person he recruited!
The Sleeping Emperor repaying kindness with enmity, and Qingtian Liuxian’s second search, both were slaps on his face.
He cupped his hands, "Central Emperor, the Southern Heavenly Realm is in need of people right now, is this how we should treat those who join us?"
The Central Tribe Emperor gave Jiang Fan a casual glance.
A human at the Heavenly Human Five Declines naturally didn’t catch his attention.
However, he cared a lot about the Netherworld King’s opinion.
Indifferently said, "Qingtian, we’re all on the same side, don’t make things difficult for him."
Qingtian Liuxian squinted his old eyes and said:
"I just want to check if Jiang Fan’s remains are truly lost, if he doesn’t have a guilty conscience, why fear a check?"
Jiang Fan’s eyes flickered darkly, the old man was still wary of him.
The veil of illusion of his true form couldn’t withstand the old man’s investigation.
With a change of thought, Jiang Fan proactively took off the pouch containing his true form and said, "The junior fears no inspection."
"But I’m too afraid to let Senior examine it, for if something is taken, the junior can’t get it back."
He flashed to the Netherworld King’s side and said, "Please let the Netherworld King check it."
"I can only trust him for now."
Qingtian Liuxian said indifferently:
"This sage has no interest in a junior’s items, Netherworld King, you do the checking."
The Netherworld King gave Qingtian Liuxian a sideways glance.
The suspicion from Qingtian Liuxian towards someone he recruited made him rather irritated.
He used his pinky to take the pouch, took a glance inside, and found there was a strange corpse.
And indeed, Jiang Fan’s physical body was no longer present.
The Netherworld King chuckled, "Such an unnecessary move."
