Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 256: Chapter 256 Regret Chapter 256: Chapter 256 Regret Gong Caiyi’s heart trembled.

She was at the late stage of the Core Formation Realm!

Even if she had only used a tenth of her spiritual power, it was enough to form a defense that even someone at the second level of Core Formation would have difficulty shaking.

Jiang Fan actually… actually pierced through it.

What made her even more terrified was that

the residual power of the purple light beam continued to attack her palm.

She hurriedly circulated all her spiritual power to her palm.

Only then did she manage to block it before her hand got pierced through.

As the purple light beam dissipated,

Gong Caiyi’s palm burned with pain. Without even looking, she knew it must be injured!

Her lips twitched slightly, revealing a trace of pain.

“Sect Master, are you okay?”

Jiang Fan noticed the pain on her face and asked in surprise.

Did I hurt you? No way?

Am I really that strong?

Gong Caiyi quickly composed her expression.

How could she admit that she had been injured by a little guy in the Foundation Establishment Realm?

If word got out, how would she keep her dignity?

Hiding her injured hand behind her back, she calmly said,

“What are you thinking?”

“This level of power can’t hurt me.”

Jiang Fan didn’t doubt much.

After all, they were vastly different in realms.

How could he possibly hurt her?

He couldn’t help but praise, “Sect Master’s power is profound, I am in awe.”

“I thought at least you’d take me a bit more seriously.”

“I didn’t expect you to deflect it so casually.”

“I’ll have to work twice as hard in the future.”

In awe?

Gong Caiyi felt the burning pain in her palm and wished she could beat him up!

If she hadn’t reacted in time,

her hand would have been crippled by him.

This guy, so fierce even at the Foundation Establishment Realm, what will he be like when he reaches the Core Formation Realm?

She grumpily said, “Don’t get cocky!”

“The Martial Path is like rowing upstream, not moving forward means falling back.”

“Stay humble, understand?”

“Now let’s go. Receive the ten Thousand-mile Eagles you need to escort, then get lost.”

Jiang Fan was puzzled.

He blinked his innocent eyes.

What did I do to get scolded like this?

Women’s thoughts are really hard to figure out!

Shaking his head, he followed Gong Caiyi out of the hall.

Gong Caiyi walked ahead, the pain in her palm worsening, making her grit her teeth secretly.

With a somewhat resentful tone, she said, “What realm are you at, anyway?”

To hurt her hand like that.

It’s really unreasonable.

Jiang Fan didn’t hide it from her and said, “Seventh layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm.”

After a pause, he added, “No, that’s before taking the Earth Phoenix Grass Marrow.”

“Now I’m at the eighth layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm.”

What?

Gong Caiyi suddenly froze, her steps halting abruptly. She turned around in disbelief.

Her eyes widened!

Seventh layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm?

A month ago, during the new disciples’ competition at the Green Cloud Sect, Jiang Fan was only at the fourth layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm!

How did he suddenly jump to the seventh layer?

What kind of heaven-defying cultivation speed is this?

And!

After taking the Earth Phoenix Grass Marrow, he directly broke through a realm?

In just two hours?

This kind of domineering spiritual object generally requires many doses to fully digest?

Jiang Fan was walking with his head down, pondering why Gong Caiyi had scolded him just now.

He didn’t notice Gong Caiyi abruptly stop in front of him.

By the time he saw her feet, his head had already bumped into something soft and elastic.

After a slight pause,

He realized what had happened and hastily backed away in fright.

He didn’t dare to look Gong Caiyi in the eyes, turned his face away, and kept apologizing, “I’m sorry, I didn’t see where I was going.”

In fact,

Gong Caiyi didn’t look at him either.

Her face flashed an odd expression before quickly turning away, her voice unnatural,

“Let’s, let’s go.”

She discreetly pressed her numbed chest, slightly annoyed.

What on earth is going on?

Why do such inappropriate things keep happening with Jiang Fan?

First, there was the emotional hug.

Then, her chest binding was seen by him clearly.

And now, he’s…

Though all these incidents were unintentional, they gave Gong Caiyi a slight sense of oppression.

With mixed emotions,

she led Jiang Fan to the foot of the Spirit Beast Sect mountain.

Ten fine horses each pulled a broad wooden plank with wheels.

On each plank was a tall, black bird.

Golden beaks, wings spanning a yard wide, claws sharp as knife tips.

The horses dragging them obediently lowered their heads, not daring to make a sound.

This was evidence of their intimidation.

“Master, Junior Brother,” Yuan Zhiyu approached.

She was surprised to find that the atmosphere between her master and Jiang Fan seemed a bit off.

The former had no expression, lacking the usual warmth and joy towards Jiang Fan.

Jiang Fan also kept a respectful distance from Gong Caiyi.

She secretly wondered.

Could something have happened between them?

Of course, she didn’t dare ask.

She pretended not to notice and said to Jiang Fan, “Junior Brother Jiang, these are the Thousand-mile Eagles.”

“Here are the keys to their chains, keep them safe.”

She handed a bunch of keys to Jiang Fan.

Jiang Fan then noticed that each eagle’s ankle was bound by an inky black mysterious iron chain.

This was to prevent the eagles from disobeying orders and flying away on their own during the journey.

“Got it.” He stuffed the keys into his robes.

Then, looking at the ten horses, he felt troubled.

He could manage three to five on his own.

But with ten, if they were attacked, he would struggle to manage them all.

Seeing his concern, Yuan Zhiyu reminded him, “Junior Brother, this task is for a team of four.”

“You can carry it out alone or find three more teammates.”

“It won’t affect your merit points.”

“It’s a pity I already have a mission, otherwise I’d definitely join you for a teammate spot!”

She looked regretful yet envious.

At this time, many disciples of the Spirit Beast Sect gathered at the mountain gate.

Notably, Qin Caihe, Chu Xingmeng, and those who hadn’t left yet like Yi Lianxing.

Even Lu Xinghe was still at the foot of the mountain.

Hearing this,

Qin Caihe and Chu Xingmeng became interested.

This was a four hundred merit points super task.

Who wouldn’t be interested?

But, this wasn’t a task for disciples in the fifth layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

So the two exchanged wry smiles.

They sensibly repressed the idea.

Unexpectedly,

Jiang Fan glanced around, saw the two girls, and gestured them over: “Junior Sister Chu, Senior Sister Qin, what are you waiting for?”

“Come help me escort these Thousand-mile Eagles.”

Huh?

Qin Caihe pointed at herself, “You mean, let us also join this task?”

Chu Xingmeng immediately waved her hand, “No, no, we’re not qualified for this.”

“Junior Brother Jiang, you should find stronger partners.”

Jiang Fan smiled warmly, “Aren’t we teammates?”

“Come on.”

This attractive reward meant he had no trouble finding strong partners.

But the problem was,

He couldn’t trust others on this dangerous trip.

Qin Caihe and Chu Xingmeng were reliable partners who had traveled with him all along.

Though their skills were a bit lacking, just minding the eagles was enough.

He would handle any enemies.

The two girls hesitated before slowly moving to Jiang Fan’s side.

Chu Xingmeng looked uncertain, “Senior Brother Jiang, I’m worried I might hold you back.”

Qin Caihe also hesitated, “Maybe you should find someone else.”

Jiang Fan didn’t give them a choice.

He lifted Chu Xingmeng in front of the fourth horse, “You handle horses four, five, and six.”

Then placed Qin Caihe on the seventh horse’s back, “You handle the last four horses.”

After arranging their tasks,

Jiang Fan prepared to leave.

At that moment,

a hesitant figure approached, saying awkwardly,

“Junior Brother Jiang, what about me?”

“I’m also a member of our team!”

The newcomer was none other than Lu Xinghe!

Seeing the two junior sisters, who were much weaker than himself, getting assigned a four hundred merit points super task,

he couldn’t stay still!
