Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 519: Chapter 519 Purple Sword Exposed Chapter 519: Chapter 519 Purple Sword Exposed Hm?

Li Qingfeng felt puzzled.

With a thoughtful look, he said, “Could it be that the monster army that demoness spoke of doesn’t exist?”

Upon hearing this,

Lei Zhenhai and others stopped in their tracks, hope appearing in their eyes.

If it was just a bluff from the demoness, it would be the best outcome.

“The monster army is real.”

Jiang Fan said calmly. As everyone’s hearts began to sink, he continued,

“But, they’ve been annihilated.”

“For the time being, there won’t be any danger from the Boundary Mountain.”

Annihilated?

Lei Zhenhai’s eyes gleamed sharply and he said, “What do you mean?”

How large was that monster army?

How were they annihilated?

And who annihilated them?

Jiang Fan said, “Literally.”

“Otherwise, how did Jian Lin Yuan and the others get those eight hundred monster cores?”

What?

Everyone present was shocked.

They looked in disbelief at the monster cores they had received, stunned.

Lei Zhenhai was both horrified and overjoyed and said, “Who are you? Did the Tianji Pavilion disciples annihilate that demon army?”

Jiang Fan touched his nose and nodded, “More or less.”

The fact that Sea Charm was his slave and that Demon Moon became his companion were issues too complicated to explain.

Since they misunderstood it was the Tianji Pavilion disciples, let Jian Lin Yuan and the others take the blame.

Li Qingfeng’s face was full of disbelief, “Those seven are actually so powerful?”

Wen Hongyao also looked puzzled, “That shouldn’t be!”

“An army of over eight hundred monsters, even a ninth layer core formation realm would’ve had a hard time contending with that.”

“Are those seven Tianji Pavilion disciples really that formidable?”

Lei Zhenhai gradually grew suspicious as well.

Indeed, it seemed unlikely that the seven of them could completely annihilate such a large monster army.

Even if they were eight hundred rabbits, the seven of them would find it hard to kill them all.

Let alone these ferocious monsters.

Considering the monster cores handed out by Jian Lin Yuan and the others, most were core formation level.

It seemed even more impossible.

“Jiang Fan, are you hiding something?” Lei Zhenhai asked sharply.

Jiang Fan’s eyes flickered, and he said, “Oh right, their leader is named Jian Lin Yuan.”

“He seems quite formidable.”

“Jian Lin Yuan? It’s him? No wonder!”

Lei Zhenhai exclaimed, understanding dawning on him, “If it’s him, that makes sense.”

“Jian Lin Yuan is a young master from a mysterious family, rumored to have a formidable warrior following him in the shadows.”

“If he encounters any unknown danger, that warrior will reveal themselves.”

“It seems it was this person who eliminated that demon army.”

Jiang Fan’s expression turned serious immediately.

Jian Lin Yuan had such a powerful protector secretly guarding him?

Would not that mean this protector had seen his dealings with Sea Charm?

This was troublesome!

If he told Jian Lin Yuan, and Jian Lin Yuan reported to the Tianji Pavilion…

His expression grew somber.

The only reassuring thing was,

by some odd chance, the blame had indeed fallen on Jian Lin Yuan.

At least for now, it shielded him from unnecessary trouble.

He promptly said, “I see now.”

“So Jian Lin Yuan has a high-level expert with him.”

“It must have been him who destroyed the monster army!”

“If the demon race causes trouble in the future, we can blame it on him too…”

Bang—

Unexpectedly,

Jiang Fan’s rear was suddenly kicked without warning.

Even with his agility, he stumbled awkwardly, almost falling flat on his face.

“Who?”

Jiang Fan frowned, glaring behind him.

Why did someone kick him for no reason?

But Liang Feiyan, Ouyang Jun, and Xia Chaoge, who stood behind him, all looked confused.

Liang Feiyan said speechlessly, “Who touched you?”

“You were standing fine, then suddenly lunged forward.”

“How can you blame us?”

Xia Chaoge also looked puzzled, “Uncle, what happened just now?”

“You were standing fine, then suddenly fell?”

Ouyang Jun, feeling wronged, said, “Don’t look at me, my leg is still injured, I couldn’t have kicked you.”

Jiang Fan felt puzzled.

It wasn’t them, could it be a ghost…

Wait!

Jiang Fan’s back suddenly felt cold, and he moved swiftly beside Lei Zhenhai, cautiously scanning the air around him.

Could it be the hidden expert beside Jian Lin Yuan?

At this moment,

a woman’s voice echoed in his ear,

“Brat, that kick was light!”

“Try putting the blame on me again!”

Jiang Fan’s hair stood on end!

It really was her!!!

“Jiang Fan, what nonsense are you spouting?”

Lei Zhenhai shook off Jiang Fan’s hand gripping his robe with annoyance.

Jiang Fan quickly said, “Sect Master Lei, did you hear that?”

“Someone just threatened me!”

Lei Zhenhai looked bewildered and laughed angrily,

“Have you manipulated tribulation thunder too much, your ears burst?”

“What voice?”

“I didn’t hear anything.”

So close, and you didn’t hear it?

Jiang Fan looked at the others.

Including Li Qingfeng and Xia Chaoge, they all looked at him strangely.

“Jiang Fan, if you’re tired, take a rest.”

Li Qingfeng said sympathetically, “You’ve really worked hard this time.”

Realizing the monster army was destroyed, Lei Zhenhai felt relieved.

He said cheerfully, “Everyone heard?”

“With heaven’s aid and the help of experts, our Boundary Mountain garrison is safe.”

“Once the experts from Sunset City arrive, we can return and rest.”

“For now, endure a few more days here until we switch shifts!”

Everyone was naturally overjoyed.

Leaving the Boundary Mountain and returning after the Sunset City experts arrived were different concepts.

The former meant abandoning the Boundary Mountain defense, while the latter meant safeguarding it completely.

Which had more merit, no need to say.

After arranging patrols,

Lei Zhenhai’s eyes gleamed as he said, “Jiang Fan, I have something to ask you.”

“Come with me.”

Jiang Fan had a bad feeling.

But seeing Li Qingfeng nearby, ready to assist,

He forced himself to stay calm and followed.

Lei Zhenhai stood on the city wall, looking at the distant snowy mountains, and said directly,

“Jin Yunlie’s Heavenly Thunder Stone is in your possession, right?”

Jiang Fan’s heart skipped a beat.

Indeed.

Lei Zhenhai was asking about that.

He said, feigning ignorance, “I don’t understand, Sect Master Lei.”

“What is a Heavenly Thunder Stone?”

“Ha!”

Lei Zhenhai laughed coldly,

“Do you think your identity as No.1 Shadow Guard is still a secret?”

Jiang Fan sighed inwardly.

Earlier, he was forced to use the Purple Sword.

He couldn’t hide it from those who were observant.

When he, as No.1 Shadow Guard, took Jin Yunlie’s Heavenly Thunder Stone in front of True Thunder Sect’s top disciple Lu Shiyi,

now, with Lei Zhenhai uncovering Jiang Fan’s hidden identity,

How could he not know the whereabouts of the Heavenly Thunder Stone?

In such a situation, Jiang Fan could only deny.

“You overestimate me, Sect Master Lei; that No.1 Shadow Guard is renowned, how could I compare?”

Jiang Fan said.

Lei Zhenhai’s face turned cold, eyes flashing with icy light,

“Don’t think your great accomplishment in this battle makes you untouchable.”

“Stealing our Great Elder’s Heavenly Thunder Stone, then defying me,”

“Either offense you can’t escape.”

Jiang Fan remained composed.

Unworried by the threats, he said, “I truly don’t know anything about a Heavenly Thunder Stone.”

Seeing his stubbornness,

Lei Zhenhai snorted, “I’m giving you a chance…”

Suddenly,

he seemed to sense something.

Looking up at the sky,

a small dark red figure sped towards Boundary Mountain.

A snow wave of several meters high rose in its wake.

It was an astonishing sight.

In the Nine-Sect Land, who else could cause such a spectacle with a mere body physique,

if not a Giant Sect strongman?

In an era without the Supreme Elders emerging,

the only capable one was the current Giant Sect Leader,

Kong Yuanba.

“Arrived sooner than expected.”

Lei Zhenhai gave Jiang Fan a half-smiling look,

“Boy, your big trouble is here!”
