Jiang Fan’s heart skipped a beat.
If not for his extraordinary willpower, suppressing his heartbeat by force, he might have exposed himself in front of Venerate Xinnie!
"Why, do you have some unspeakable secret?"
Venerate Xinnie eyed the hesitant Jiang Fan, a hint of suspicion flashing through his aged eyes.
Unable to find Wang Chongxiao for so long, he was extremely anxious.
He was very sensitive to everyone associated with Wang Chongxiao.
Jiang Fan’s impersonation of Wang Chongxiao in the Heavenly Realm had once aroused his suspicions.
Jiang Fan forced himself to remain calm, his mind racing:
"Reporting to Master, I am worried that Wang Chongxiao might have infiltrated and hidden in the Heavenly Realm."
"Therefore, I used his name to oppose the Ancient Giants in the Heavenly Realm, making it hard for him to find refuge there."
Venerate Xinnie gave Jiang Fan a meaningful look; the reason seemed a bit far-fetched.
If Jiang Fan were someone else, he would have been instantly killed.
However, considering he once wrongly accused Jiang Fan.
And with Jiang Fan being his Direct Disciple, he withheld his murderous intent.
"Thoughtful indeed," Venerate Xinnie lightly nodded his chin.
"Now come with me to find Wang Chongxiao."
"I’ve been waiting for you to mobilize the Great Yin Sect."
Jiang Fan bowed, "Yes, Master."
"However, please grant me half a day to handle some sect matters."
Venerate Xinnie frowned slightly, suppressing his displeasure, "Go ahead."
In his view, how could a trivial Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion be more important than finding Wang Chongxiao?
With a leap, he soared into the clouds to wait.
Jiang Fan felt a chill in his heart.
He had a premonition that his game of cat and mouse with Venerate Xinnie was soon coming to an end.
Facing each other on the battlefield was inevitable.
As for who would live or die, it was hard to predict.
He had ten Wish Papers, Mysterious Demon Liquid, the Divinity Transformation Yin Corpse, and the newly cultivated "Dayan Sword Array."
But he faced a Venerate from the Young Emperor Mountain!
Who dared say he didn’t have any trump cards?
Suppressing the unease in his heart, Jiang Fan summoned everyone to the main hall.
He entrusted the treasures gifted by Wuyu and the four Demon Venerables to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master.
"Master Pavilion, please make the arrangements."
He only kept the Red Dust Illusion Sound given by the Red Dust Venerable.
This item could cause hallucinations for a Venerate and might be useful in a battle with Venerate Xinnie.
"Isn’t Senior Ice and Fire back yet?" Jiang Fan looked around, surprised.
The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master shook his head, "He hasn’t returned since chasing the Soul Refining Venerable."
Jiang Fan showed confusion.
That day, both he and Venerable Lianjing, along with the Ice and Fire Demon Lord, fell into Hunyuan State.
As a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, he was unharmed, so it was unlikely something happened to the Ice and Fire Demon Lord, right?
Could it be the Ice and Fire Demon Lord was delayed by something?
Shaking his head, Jiang Fan decided not to dwell on it.
How could a Venerate like the Ice and Fire Demon Lord require the worry of a mere Nascent Soul Realm cultivator like him?
He surveyed everyone’s cultivation.
He was delighted to see everyone’s cultivation level had advanced in just half a month.
For example, Fairy Yun Shang had broken through to the Five-Orifice Nascent Soul Peak!
It showed just how abundant the resources of the Heavenly Mountain Battlefield were.
Since Yun Shang was working so hard, he, as her husband, should diligently help her.
Help her break through the barrier of the Sixth-stage Nascent Soul.
His expression turned stern, "Yun Shang, do you know about Yellow Springs and the Star Palace Master’s affair?"
Fairy Yun Shang was confused by Jiang Fan’s sudden seriousness, replying cautiously, "I just found out now."
