Chapter 1196: Chapter 1196: Surprised or Not? Unexpected or Not?

Not long after.

In front of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.

Soul Refining Venerable gazed at the blood-red characters ”Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion,” his voice icy:

”Heh heh.”

”To dye it with the blood of my subordinates, how does such a small sect have the audacity?”

He turned his head to look at Jiang Fan, speaking coldly:

”After dealing with Jiang Fan, do you two mind if I handle the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion?”

Jiang Fan squinted his eyes: ”What does the Venerable plan to do?”

Soul Refining Venerable said lightly: ”Not much.”

”Just make them pay a little price they owe.”

”At the very least, I must live up to my title.”

Jiang Fan’s heart trembled.

This guy actually plans to refine the souls of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion disciples?

He said nonchalantly: ”I didn’t hear anything.”

”Let’s go, inside to find Jiang Fan.”

Soul Refining Venerable followed them into the mountain gate.

With a gentle stroke of his finger on the divine ring at the back of his head, his aura was reduced accordingly.

Finally settling at the Nascent Soul Fifth Level.

But the divine ring could not be dispersed and could only be hidden with demonic qi.

Jiang Fan understood silently.

It turns out the Venerable’s divine ring cannot be actively hidden.

So to speak.

That red-faced old man from the Fire Worship Sect without a divine ring had something to say.

Is he like Ru Zhenyan Venerable, having lost the Venerable realm, causing the divine ring to disappear?

Or is there another reason?

”You both go ahead and search for Jiang Fan, I’ll follow you.”

”If you encounter someone you can’t handle, I’ll step in.”

Hearing Soul Refining Venerable’s voice in their ears.

Jiang Fan nodded gently: ”Thank you, Soul Refining Venerable.”

Since Soul Refining Venerable said so, what is there to hesitate about?

But how to deceive Soul Refining Venerable into the Ice and Fire Demon Lord’s secret chamber?

If going straight to the secret chamber, Soul Refining Venerable would definitely be suspicious, right?

After all, how would people from the Qintian Bureau know Jiang Fan’s exact hiding place?

Just as they crossed the square.

A bouncing figure passed through the square.

It was none other than Gu Xin’er.

She was still wearing that orange-red cross-collared short-sleeve, lively and adorable, like a carefree little fairy.

But unlike before.

She was no longer flat.

Her chest was bulging, almost the size of Jiang Fan’s two fists.

Bouncing as she jumped.

Jiang Fan almost didn’t recognize her!

That Breath Soil really let Gu Xin’er defy destiny and achieve her wish!

At the time, he was merely coaxing Gu Xin’er, never imagined that Breath Soil for nurturing plants would also work on living beings!

Gu Xin’er also saw Jiang Fan and immediately beamed with joy.

Happily running over, offering Jiang Fan a verification.

”Jiang Fan...” she waved and shouted from afar.

Jiang Fan’s heart sank, oh no!

Gonna be exposed!

Fortunately, he reacted quickly, interrupting her in time, sternly shouting:

”Shut up!”

”Knowing our Qintian Bureau is here to capture that bastard Jiang Fan, dared to tip him off!”

”Be careful or we’ll capture you along with him.”

Eh?

Gu Xin’er froze for a moment.

Why is Jiang Fan scolding her out of the blue?

Thankfully, she was quick-witted and realized the situation.

She glanced at the unfamiliar man in a black robe standing behind them, then guessed vaguely.

She immediately rolled her eyes and shouted loudly: ”Jiang Fan, run quickly!”

”Someone’s coming to catch you!”

This shout not only alerted everyone in the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.

But also made the Ice and Fire Demon Lord, who was cultivating in the secret chamber, stop and submerge into the blood in the blood coffin, hiding within.

Jiang Fan secretly praised, Gu Xin’er, though usually naive, has never failed at critical moments.

He pretended to be anxious, flashed a Cloud Shadow and seized her, shouting:

”Where’s Jiang Fan hiding?”

”Quickly, say it! Or I’ll take you back to endure the Qintian Bureau’s ten tortures!”

Gu Xin’er cooperatively pretended to be frightened, tearfully pointing at the Ice and Fire Demon Lord’s secret chamber:

”No, that’s it!”

Jiang Fan nodded and immediately rushed towards the secret chamber.

Soul Refining Venerable held no suspicions and followed into the secret chamber.

What came into view was a crystal coffin, filled with blood.

At first glance, it resembled a blood coffin!

This is the one!

The key of the array used in the underground palace to activate the state-level teleportation array, inviting that lord!

”Indeed! Indeed!”

”It is that blood coffin!”

Soul Refining Venerable’s excitement was unmistakable in his eyes.

Compared to killing Jiang Fan, retrieving the blood coffin was undoubtedly the foremost priority!

Jiang Fan frowned and said: ”Venerable, do you have evidence that the blood coffin is yours?”

”I’m here for the capture, I don’t want to bear the suspicion of stealing things from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.”

Soul Refining Venerable let out a chuckle: ”Why would I have to prove to you?”

The matter of the blood coffin was too significant for further discussion.

To prevent Jiang Fan and Bai Xin from obstructing him, fearing delay, he stepped forward, lifting the blood coffin.

The moment the blood coffin was in his hand, he felt assured.

This task in Taicang was basically complete.

Just needed to deal with the minor pest Jiang Fan, he impatiently said:

”You quickly find Jiang Fan and hand him over to me.”

”The rest, stay out of it!”

Having received benefits, shouldn’t they fulfill their part?

Gulp!

Suddenly, a bubble rose in the blood coffin.

Soul Refining Venerable’s eyebrows shot up, realizing something, he quickly tried to discard the blood coffin.

However, it was too late.

The blood splashed abruptly, forming waves.

An Ice and Fire Tai Chi Diagram flew out unexpectedly, enveloping Soul Refining Venerable.

His domain only half-formed, a millstone appeared beneath his feet.

Numerous spirits were crushed within the millstone, wailing and howling resonated.

Just hearing it brought a soul-rending pain to the onlookers, as if the cries of the anguished spirits were going to destroy their souls.

Fortunately.

The Ice and Fire Tai Chi Diagram shattered the millstone on the spot.

The wailing ceased abruptly.

After recuperation, the Ice and Fire Demon Lord’s domain had grown even stronger.

With overwhelming force, the Soul Refining Venerable’s domain was shattered beyond repair!

Connected in heart and spirit, Soul Refining Venerable’s complexion turned pale instantly, eyes reddened, neck tendons bulging.

His features twisted in agony, appearing extremely fierce.

”There is a Venerable here...”

He escaped instantly using Instantaneous Movement.

The Ice and Fire Demon Lord emerged blood-soaked, aura strong, his dim divine ring brightened considerably.

”Even a demon cultivator from the Heavenly Demon Palace dares to act audaciously in front of this Lord?”

In the next moment, he used Instantaneous Movement to exit.

The sky erupted once again with a Divinity Transformation Venerable’s energy fluctuation.

Different from the previous battle with Evil Crow Venerable.

This time, the Ice and Fire Demon Lord’s power had advanced greatly, while Soul Refining Venerable was severely injured by the sneak attack.

As one waxes, the other wanes.

In less than ten breaths, Soul Refining Venerable fell from the sky.

His divine ring dimmed, body shattered, the Divinity Transformation aura fluctuating, becoming highly unstable.

A look of surprise emerged on his face: ”Ice and Fire Demon Lord?”

”Weren’t you supposed to have failed ascending to Great Sage, perished under the Heavenly Human Five Declines?”

”You actually survived!”

The Ice and Fire Demon Lord said coldly: ”Disappointing for you.”

”Will you self-disintegrate, or should I do it?”

Soul Refining Venerable snorted: ”Killing me in front of the Qintian Bureau?”

”Qintian Bureau will faithfully document the fall of every Venerable and share it with the Nine Provinces Sky Observatory.”

”My Great Wilderness State Sky Inspection will naturally inform the Heavenly Demon Palace of this news.”

”Are you sure in your current state you can face the ensuing pursuit from the Heavenly Demon Palace?”

The Ice and Fire Demon Lord revealed an amused expression.

He turned to Jiang Fan: ”Will you report today’s events to the Qintian Bureau?”

”Jiang Fan.”
