Jiang Fan’s heart trembled.
It was actually the mount of the Giant Saint!
He recalled the scene of first meeting the Black Sun King, who arrived with nine ancient fierce beasts, imposing and terrifying.
It seems the Giant Saint also has similar mounts.
No wonder each one is so formidable!
At this moment, the voice of Princess Zi Jiang reappeared in his mind.
"The Central Earth people haven’t arrived yet, they slaughtered the Royal Court’s tribes people themselves... are they protecting their own people, or protecting themselves?"
Jiang Fan’s eyes darted around as he probed, "This beast, it should be very formidable, right?"
Princess Zi Jiang regained her composure and responded without hesitation, "Of course!"
"Each one of them is at the Three Calamities Realm level. If all nine Royal Courts’ beasts are awakened, Central Earth will face imminent catastrophe?"
"I advise you to return to Central Earth immediately!"
Though she spoke these words, what she thought in her heart was reflected in Jiang Fan’s mind.
"Hopefully, he’ll retreat before it’s too late."
"Those beasts lack spiritual wisdom, they eat whatever they encounter, including us giants."
"Luckily, it is currently in a dormant state. It needs someone to make a noise close by to wake it up."
Jiang Fan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
No wonder these giants possess such powerful killing devices, but haven’t deployed them in the battle against Central Earth nor in the current fight.
It turns out it’s a strategy of injuring the enemy by a thousand while losing eight hundred oneself!
He finally understood why there are Saint Realm arrays surrounding the Imperial Court.
They are not meant to trap enemies.
They are to trap the Giant Saint’s mount, preventing it from coming out.
Only when the Heavenly Realm faces a life-or-death situation will the giants lift the Saint Realm array and let the mount out to perish together with Central Earth.
"Is this your fallback plan?"
Jiang Fan chuckled, "Then let me show you the feeling of having a cliff behind you!"
He leapt forward toward the Black Sun Royal Court.
Princess Zi Jiang was taken aback and said, "What are you doing?"
Jiang Fan did not conceal his intentions, "Of course, to find that sleeping Giant Saint’s mount and kill it!"
Princess Zi Jiang’s pupils shrank.
How did Jiang Fan know that the Giant Saint’s mount is inside and it’s asleep?
A moment ago, he clearly didn’t know whether there were beasts inside.
Suddenly, Princess Zi Jiang understood and angrily said, "You eavesdropped on my inner thoughts?"
"You sought me out not to take revenge on me, but to extract information from me!"
Jiang Fan glanced back at her and said, "Any objections?"
"You’re shameless!" Princess Zi Jiang said furiously.
If she hadn’t leaked the information about the mount being asleep, would Jiang Fan dare break into the Royal Court?
Despite his cautious nature, wouldn’t he avoid acting recklessly?
Princess Zi Jiang anxiously said, "Since you eavesdropped on my thoughts, you should know that any creature that comes close will awaken the mount."
"The consequences of a Three Calamities Realm mount awakening don’t need me to say more, do they?"
"You and I will die here!"
Jiang Fan said no more, pressed his two fingers to his lips, and silently chanted a spell.
In the next instant, he disappeared in place, along with his aura, leaving no trace.
"Invisibility?" Princess Zi Jiang was shocked and doubtful, "Will this work?"
She squinted her eyes, carefully sensing.
To her surprise, an unexpected spatial domain enveloped her.
As she reacted, she found herself back inside a familiar mirror.
It was Lianjing Venerable’s space mirror!
"Can’t you use something else!"
She was terrified of being trapped inside the space mirror.
She developed a physiological fear of this place.
Jiang Fan rubbed the ashes of the Jade Talisman in his hand.
