Jiang Fan observed Tian Ge at that moment, feeling a complete unfamiliarity.
The current Tian Ge was brimming with cunning and calculation, filled with deceit and treachery, far surpassing her elder brother Tian Jian!
Could this really be the same timid and cowardly Tian Ge he knew?
But thinking carefully, Jiang Fan suddenly understood.
How could a girl who fears death endure silently in the dungeon of the White Horse Temple for three months?
And how could a woman without wisdom easily persuade some of the Asura from Taicang State to follow her orders and go to the Continent?
All the submissive, cowardly, and fearful behavior she showed while in Jiang Fan’s hands was an act!
The Tian Ge now was her true self!
"What’s wrong, don’t recognize me, Starfire Venerable?"
Tian Ge looked at Jiang Fan, her eyes filled with pride: "Surprised? You never thought you’d be fooled by the most inconspicuous one, did you?"
Among the four members of the Asura Empress, she was indeed the one who seemed least threatening, and easiest to deal with.
Little did they know, she was the most dangerous!
Jiang Fan looked at the second Eye of Hell in his hand and said:
"Did you know all along that the Tongyuan Realm Master would steal your Eye of Hell?"
Tian Ge shrugged, imitating Jiang Fan’s usual manner: "Of course."
"A little trick to deceive people’s hearts wanting to fool me?"
"I followed his actions, joined him to Central Earth, waiting for him to use the Eye of Hell to control the Supreme Ancient Saint’s body."
"Then I would use this entirely new Eye of Hell, personally activated by my father, to control him."
"Thus, this precious Holy Body would belong to our Dark Shura Clan."
Jiang Fan laughed.
He thought the Tongyuan Realm Master was using the naive Tian Ge.
Unexpectedly, it was the other way around!
If he hadn’t summoned the incarnation of the Other Shore Realm Master to bring the Tongyuan Realm Master back to the Hell Realm, Tian Ge’s plan would have succeeded.
"You are really cunning." Jiang Fan gazed deeply at Tian Ge.
"Hehe, too kind!" Tian Ge’s beautiful eyes crescented into a smile: "I intended to make a move on you."
"But knowing you were going to lead Central Earth’s counterattack on the Heavenly Realm, I played along."
"Perhaps at a critical moment, I could be unexpectedly useful."
"And it turned out just as I expected."
Jiang Fan closed his eyes, saying no more, as if resigning to fate.
The development had reached a point no one anticipated.
The sages of Central Earth were silent and solemn, their eyes filled with despair, their last chance at turning the tables ruined by Tian Ge.
Even Jiang Fan felt despair.
But among them, there was one person who became lost in thought.
It was the Jiangshan First-class Building Owner.
Based on his understanding of Jiang Fan, unless dead, he wouldn’t surrender without a fight.
Could it be, Jiang Fan was planning something?
His peripheral gaze fell on the Tai Chu Prison Sky Gourd in Tian Ge’s hand, suddenly understanding.
The secret lay within the gourd.
Jiang Fan must have done something to the gourd as a precaution!
"By the way, aren’t you curious how I managed to hide from your Mind Peeping?"
Tian Ge, having been trapped by Jiang Fan for too long and having suffered too much, couldn’t help but boast after turning the tables.
Jiang Fan slightly opened his eyes, in the depths of his pupils flickered the shifting glow of the soul.
This was a sign before the Soul Transfer Skill was activated.
Exactly!
Upon realizing Tian Ge was deceiving him, he promptly left a contingency on the Tai Chu Prison Sky Gourd.
The gourd contained a thread of his soul, now tightly in contact with Tian Ge’s soul as she held it.
And this already met the conditions to activate the Soul Transfer Skill.
Once activated, he and Tian Ge’s souls could be exchanged.
By then, controlling Tian Ge’s body, he could directly activate the Tai Chu Prison Sky Gourd.
The only thing he needed to resolve now was, what was the name of the Nine Prison Asura Emperor.
