Chapter 1042: Chapter 1042: Youran Returns (Part 1)

Back when this person identified himself as part of the White Bone Alliance, Jiang Fan was already worried that he might resort to Jiao Huang Yin’s bloody tactics.

Fortunately, precautions were taken in time.

Otherwise, the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master would be in danger.

"Another Three Apertures Nascent Soul?"

The burly middle-aged man showed surprise.

Fairy Yun Shang also stepped forward, revealing her own aura.

Peak of Second Nascent Soul.

The Slave Heart Demon Emperor also stepped forward, releasing his aura.

Second-stage Nascent Soul.

Yue Mingzhu and Liu Qingxian also looked on coldly, releasing an aura of One-Orifice Nascent Soul Realm.

"Six Nascent Souls in total?"

The burly middle-aged man was astonished.

Two Three Apertures, two Second-stage, two One-Orifice.

Where did six Nascent Souls suddenly emerge from in Taicang State?

Especially two Three Apertures Nascent Souls, which would be considered elder-level figures with a certain status in many major sects.

Immediately, his face turned cold again.

"Fortunately, the Alliance Hierarch sent me here!"

"Otherwise, if you all grew stronger, what then?"

His gaze turned fierce, locking onto Liu Qingxian, who had just crossed her tribulation, deciding to break through from the weak to the strong, one by one.

With a thought, his five fingers stretched out abruptly, transforming into five long spears aimed at Liu Qingxian.

But in the next moment.

The blood hand suddenly halted its attack.

At first, he was still confused, and the next moment he was horrified to discover that he couldn’t control his body.

His soul, at some point, had been bound by chains.

"No!"

He exclaimed in horror, only managing to let out a low cry.

A chilling sensation spread from his neck.

Jiang Fan, holding the Purple Sword, sliced off his head with one strike.

Then, with a grip of his five fingers.

The chains pulled the soul from the headless body, flying into Jiang Fan’s palm.

The burly middle-aged man couldn’t believe it.

As a Four Apertures Nascent Soul, this was how he died.

Moreover, even his soul couldn’t escape!

Staring into Jiang Fan’s cold eyes, he quickly pleaded, "Daoist friend, have mercy!"

"I was merely following orders, the Alliance Hierarch’s commands are hard to defy."

"Please give me a chance to be reborn through possession."

"I guarantee you will be greatly rewarded..."

"What is that?"

"What are you doing?"

Jiang Fan took out a four-holed jade disc, pressing his soul into one of the holes.

The burly middle-aged man sensed extreme danger and roared fiercely:

"You’re going too far; our Alliance Hierarch will not spare you!"

Jiang Fan said lightly, "We didn’t provoke you, yet you still came to kill?"

"Whether you provoke us or not is not determined by your actions."

"On the contrary, releasing you would only create future trouble for me."

"So, contribute to our Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, becoming a part of it."

Upon finishing.

Amidst his screams, he was pressed into the hole.

The burly middle-aged man’s soul was completely absorbed.

The hole immediately emitted an unusually dazzling blood-red light.

The previous Nascent Souls captured were all One-Orifice.

This was the first time for a Four Apertures.

Whether different levels of souls produce the same effect in the Sky-reaching Marrow was unknown.

He put away the Life Changing Jade Disc.

He found a dead silence around him.

Scanning the surroundings, he noticed that everyone was looking at Jiang Fan in astonishment.

The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master had a wry smile, "You struggled to compete with Chen Jing just before."

"Now, you can easily slay a Four Apertures Nascent Soul."

"This Pavilion Master feels a bit unworthy."

"How about..."

Jiang Fan knew what he was thinking.

He was considering letting Jiang Fan take over as Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master.

Jiang Fan quickly stopped him, saying, "No!"

"You took on the burden from the Old Pavilion Master with a heavy heart; you must carry it with tears if necessary."

"Don’t even think about passing it to me."

Strength is one thing, managing the sect is another.

Jiang Fan neither had the energy to manage the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion nor enough experience.

It was better for the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master to continue in his role.

The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master was amused, "Fine, then I’ll give you a title."

"Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, Chief Deputy Pavilion Master."

Adding ’Chief’ to the Deputy Pavilion Master, distinguishing him from the other four Deputy Pavilion Masters.

Jiang Fan nodded, saying, "This works."

Fairy Yun Shang walked over, smiling charmingly, "Jiang, what’s your current strength?"

Yue Mingzhu and Liu Qingxian ran over with proud expressions.

It’s hard to believe that the Jiang Fan, who barely fought against the Sky Demon Emperor not long ago, could now easily obliterate a Four Apertures Nascent Soul.

Whoosh!

Before the three ladies could reach him.

Jiang Fan’s surroundings blurred, and True Word Venerable flashed in.

Before the three ladies, she took his arm and glanced at them.

The three ladies quickly halted.

Yue Mingzhu’s forehead veins bulged; did this woman really consider Jiang Fan hers?

She was even competing with them!

Xu Youran wasn’t this domineering!

She was still wondering.

A black shadow suddenly flashed across the sky.

A bird descended in circles.

From it leaped a young girl in a turquoise dress with a gentle breeze.

And a beautiful girl with golden hair and exotic features, holding her stomach.

They were Ling Shu and Liu Li.

Jiang Fan was surprised, wondering why they were behind?

He thought they had stayed with the Mainland Demon Clan, not planning to come for a while.

Until he saw a graceful figure on the bird.

His eyes couldn’t hide his surprise: "Youran?"

The breeze tousled her hair, but not the gentleness in her eyes.

She leaped forward, landing in front of Jiang Fan.

Only after a short time no see, she had also broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm.

But thinking about it, it made sense.

She inherited the legacy of an Asura Realm Emperor, equivalent to a Great Sage Realm in Taicang State.

Plus, with Ayushura King’s guidance.

It would be abnormal if her cultivation was slow.

"You’ve lost weight." Xu Youran looked at Jiang Fan, her crystalline eyes glittering with longing.

At this moment.

She noticed a woman holding Jiang Fan’s arm.

She looked puzzled.

True Word Venerable met her gaze without intending to move aside.

However, she observed that Fairy Yun Shang, Yue Mingzhu, and Liu Qingxian all retreated slightly awkwardly.

After a brief thought, she also released Jiang Fan and retreated to stand beside the three women.

Like them, she avoided Xu Youran’s gaze.

"Jiang Fan, who is she?" She naturally noticed this woman’s mental state seemed unusual.

Jiang Fan transmitted, "True Word Venerable."

Ah?

Xu Youran covered her mouth, her beautiful eyes widening: "Then she and you?"

Jiang Fan replied helplessly, "I hope when she wakes up, she won’t be hostile towards me."

Xu Youran immediately understood Jiang Fan’s predicament, nodding:

"I’ll talk to her later."

Then she looked at Yue Mingzhu and Liu Qingxian.

Her eyes showed a trace of relief; they had also accompanied Jiang Fan.

So, Jiang Fan wouldn’t be lonely.

When she glanced over Fairy Yun Shang, a trace of deep astonishment appeared in her eyes: "Such a beautiful woman."

"And she’s from the Demon Race."

"Could she be the former Concubine Yunxia?"

Fairy Yun Shang felt tense.

This woman was Jiang Fan’s only officially acknowledged main palace.

Even with her poise, her heart couldn’t help but feel anxious.

She stepped forward gracefully, greeting, "Yun Shang greets... Sister."

Sister?

Xu Youran looked at Jiang Fan in surprise, "Isn’t she the Concubine of the Sky Demon Emperor?"
