Qi Yin Master understood the implication of Chen Jing’s words.
He feared being entangled by his fellow disciples from the Green Cloud Sect!
Now that he had become affluent, he no longer wished to be associated with the impoverished Green Cloud Sect, which was only natural.
"What a pity."
Qi Yin Master sighed lightly and said:
"This child is actually very outstanding. If someone is willing to give him a hand, he can definitely establish himself in Taicang State."
Recalling Jiang Fan’s feat of killing a Nascent Soul with Core Formation, he was still deeply shocked.
Taicang State hasn’t been without prodigies who killed Nascent Souls with Demon Cores.
But the last one was ten years ago.
That person is now a powerful figure with a Nine Aperture Nascent Soul in Taicang, currently seeking enlightenment to break through to Divinity Transformation.
"Outstanding?"
Chen Jing shook his head: "What kind of outstanding talents can come from such a barren place on the continent?"
"Reaching the Ninth Layer of Core Formation Perfection is likely the end of his career."
Qi Yin Master smiled but did not continue speaking.
It was evident that Chen Jing did not wish to interact with Jiang Fan.
Continuing the conversation would only displease him.
The battle in front of the White Horse Temple would soon spread, and then he would naturally realize how extraordinary his junior brother was.
Far stronger than he was back in the day!
On the Heavenly Ascending Ancient Road.
Jiang Fan carried Concubine Yunxia with his Sword Control Technique, leaping into the air above the first step of the stone staircase.
Looking down, the ten-thousand-foot stone step was covered in countless engravings, exuding an ancient and desolate aura.
At this moment, a few disciples at the Seventh Level of Core Formation were paused on the stone steps, fiercely attacking the air.
"Jiang, the stone steps seem to trap people into an Illusion Realm," Concubine Yunxia speculated.
Jiang Fan nodded.
For the environment around them was distorting.
They were clearly in the sky.
Yet the surroundings had turned into a brightly lit city under the night sky.
The people lingered at the night market, while the nobles on the upper floors sang and danced.
Peaceful and harmonious, it gave the impression of national prosperity and people’s safety.
At this moment, the night sky suddenly became resplendent.
Three meteors crashed into the ground, hitting the city and turning it into a sea of fire instantly.
More than half the people died on the spot.
Those who survived fled in terror and panic.
All the beauty abruptly ended at this moment.
Roar!
The more terrifying thing was.
Three hideous blood-red giant beasts emerged from the meteor craters.
They had arrived at this land alongside the meteors.
Once they climbed out, they attacked the creatures on the land.
Some were torn apart by a single claw, their intestines scattering all over the ground.
Others were thrown into a blood-red maw and chewed, accompanied by shrill screams.
In some cases, the half of the body protruding from the mouth emitted desperate and painful cries.
Strong individuals from the Human Clan drew their swords to rise and fight back, only to be easily pierced by the beasts and tossed into their mouths as food.
In an instant, this place turned into a living purgatory.
Concubine Yunxia’s face turned slightly pale: "Is this an illusion... or did it really happen?"
Clang!
Jiang Fan had already drawn his sword, his eyes icy: "Just kill them!"
Because he saw a girl in a red dress running out of a collapsing mansion.
Wearing a bridal gown embroidered with a Golden Silk Phoenix, she appeared strikingly out of place in the burning flames, amidst the city’s mountains of corpses.
A blood-red giant beast was eyeing her.
