Chapter 677: Chapter 677: Seeing Chuanchuan Again

Mu Ziyu nodded: “Isn’t it just the West Sea Demon Clan?”

“Otherwise, why would the dignified West Sea Crown Prince and the First Martial Minister appear here?”

“This is the North Sea waters, more than five thousand miles from the West Sea.”

At this thought, she felt wronged.

Would the West Sea Crown Prince come to the North Sea for flirting?

Who could have thought of that?

A pockmark is not called a pockmark, it’s called a pitfall!

Jiang Fan looked at Concubine Yunxia with confusion.

“Hasn’t the Tiger Demon Emperor Mansion already exhausted its resources?”

“Is it worth the West Sea Crown Prince’s special trip here?”

Concubine Yunxia pondered: “I’m puzzled too.”

“The Mainland Demon Race doesn’t even care for the outer mansion.”

“There’s no reason for the West Sea Crown Prince to travel thousands of miles just for it, right?”

Jiang Fan mulled over: “Two possibilities.”

“Either the outer mansion has important resources that the Mainland Demon Race hasn’t discovered.”

“Or they obtained the Pill Book Silver Scrolls.”

Ling Shu interjected:

“Brother, Master Liu Li, as the daughter of the Demon Emperor, couldn’t obtain the Pill Book Silver Scrolls.”

“The Sea Demon Clan even less so.”

Only twelve copies of the Pill Book Silver Scrolls remain.

In the past sixty years, they’ve either been destroyed or lost with their owners’ demise.

The truly existing ones are very few.

The Sea Demon Clan can’t possibly acquire them.

Oh?

Liu Li also searched for the Pill Book Silver Scrolls?

Jiang Fan was surprised: “In that case, it must be the first possibility.”

“The outer mansion has something significant!”

“It’s extraordinary enough for the West Sea Demon Clan to make a special trip?”

“Time is of the essence; let’s get there quickly.”

Meanwhile.

A few hundred miles away.

A near-sea Five Finger Mountain rose from the ground.

The five peaks stood shoulder to shoulder like a giant hand covering the sky.

Backed by the continent, with its palm facing the Vast Sea.

A majestic aura came at them face-on.

A girl of about six or seven, hands behind her back, stood before the Five Finger Mountain.

Her face showed traces of shock:

“These five mountains, centered and regulating the four directions, with winds and thunders controlling the universe.”

“It’s a rare imperial feng shui formation!”

“The Tiger Demon Emperor really knows where to choose.”

“Actually choosing the Tiger Demon Emperor Mansion here!”

She was none other than Supreme Elder Qin Wangchuan of Green Cloud Sect’s Medicine Peak.

Beside her stood the Supreme Elders of the remaining Eight Sects.

They had received orders from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion months ago.

When the Demon Emperor advanced to the frontline, they would delve into the Demon Race heartland to seal the Tiger Demon Emperor Mansion.

To prevent the Demon Race from birthing a second Demon Emperor.

Now, at last, the Demon Emperor headed southward, giving them the chance to come unnoticed.

Standing beside her was the Giant Sect Supreme Elder.

He He Jiuzhang.

His physique was robust like an iron tower.

The aura he emitted reached Ninth Layer of Core Formation Perfection!

The crowd evidently followed him as their leader.

“Supreme Elder Qin, enough with the chatter.”

“Now’s not the time for admiration!”

“Quickly act and destroy this place, so the Tiger Demon Emperor Mansion never reemerges!”

His tone was cold.

With a hint of targeting intent.

The other Supreme Elders instinctively knew.

Fang Taiji was struck down by Jiang Fan with a Nascent Soul Jade Token, causing the fall of the Giant Sect’s mightiest.

This incident greatly affected the Giant Sect.

Threatening them with ejection from the Upper Three Sects.

Fortunately, the Giant Sect pooled their resources, overdrawing three years of the sect’s resources to help He Jiuzhang arduously reach the Ninth Layer of Core Formation Perfection.

This stabilized their position.

Hence, the enmity between Green Cloud Sect and Giant Sect was established.

Although Fang Taiji deserved his fate, a thousand cuts were justified.

But the Giant Sect wasn’t a place for reasoning, was it?

Along the way, He Jiuzhang frequently targeted Qin Wangchuan.

And Qin Wangchuan, being temperamental, couldn’t bear such grievances.

As expected, conflicts erupted, and she often suffered significant losses.

In the most serious incident, her legs were broken.

Had it not been for the protection of the accompanying Supreme Elders, her life might have been forfeit.

“You!”

Qin Wangchuan was furious, but after a few deep breaths, she chose to endure.

Not out of fear of He Jiuzhang.

But due to more pressing matters at hand.

She stared intently at the Five Finger Mountain before her, coldly saying: “Let’s act together.”

He Jiuzhang smirked with a hint of mockery:

“Wouldn’t it have been better to behave like this earlier?”

“Why suffer such losses?”

“Do you think it’s still the time when Jiang Fan was alive?”

Upon mentioning Jiang Fan.

The several Supreme Elders sighed simultaneously.

Wearing expressions of uncontrollable regret.

Jiang Fan, a prodigy appearing once in a century in the Green Cloud Sect, a distinguished hero of the Boundary Mountain Battle.

Just during the mission to capture Concubine Yunxia, he was captured by the Demon Race.

How much destruction did Jiang Fan cause the Demon Race during the Boundary Mountain Battle?

Even with a toe, it was imaginable how much the Demon Race hated Jiang Fan.

The Demon Race had a thousand, ten thousand reasons to kill Jiang Fan.

But none that would allow letting him go.

Hence.

The fate of Jiang Fan after being captured was obvious.

By now, Jiang Fan’s grave would probably be growing grass.

While the Green Cloud Sect, relying on Jiang Fan,

Recently, among the Nine Sect, they were riding high.

Rumors even had it that the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion intended to heavily cultivate Jiang Fan.

The status of Green Cloud Sect was visibly rising.

Unfortunately.

Jiang Fan’s capture marked the end of it all.

“Shut up!” Qin Wangchuan could bear no more:

“Had it not been for your Giant Sect’s old traitor betrayal.”

“Would Jiang Fan have been captured?”

“You still dare to mention this?”

Her eyes filled with hatred.

Such a good child was implicated by the Giant Sect!

She even had the urge to charge into the Giant Sect and wreak havoc!

He Jiuzhang’s eyes narrowed.

He said with a hollow smile: “Seems like you’re not properly humbled yet!”

Five fingers clenched, and tumultuous power surged throughout his body.

“Stop, all of you!”

“There’s strong demon energy approaching!”

The Supreme Elder from the Spirit Beast Sect, being most sensitive to demon energy,

seemingly sensed something, his face changed dramatically.

He Jiuzhang’s heart tightened.

Encountering the Demon Race in their heartland was no good event, was it?

Nonetheless.

He had already broken through to the Ninth Layer of Core Formation Perfection.

As long as he didn’t encounter the Four Great Demon Kings or that nearly invincible under Nascent Soul-level Concubine Yunxia,

there shouldn’t be any major issues.

“Don’t worry, I’m here!”

He Jiuzhang displayed immense confidence:

“With the Demon Race advancing south.”

“It’s improbable for anyone powerful to be here…”

However.

Upon sensing the two terrifying demon powers rushing from the distant land.

He was utterly astonished.

“Demon King level demon powers?”

Several Supreme Elders quivered all over.

What made their scalps tingle even more was.

Two complete Demon King level powers.

“What’s going on?”

“Was our action known in advance by the Demon Race?”

He Jiuzhang was deeply shocked.

Qin Wangchuan looked at the approaching shadows with a hint of confusion.

She stared at one of the shadows.

Her eyes showed a trace of surprise.

Because, this shadow gave her a familiar feeling.

Soon.

The shadow became barely discernible.

A handsome young man with fair skin and a jade-like face in a black robe appeared.

She was shocked and covered her mouth with one hand.

The other hand tugged the sleeve of the Spirit Beast Sect elder.

“Sister Chen, help me take a look.”

“That person… Is he Jiang Fan?”
