Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 1391: Chapter 1409: Journey to the Ruin

They are none other than.

The Half-Giants from Heavenly Heritage City in Returning Ruins State.

They came to Taicang State for the Evil Crow Jade Seal from the Great Yin Sect and to capture the Little Qilin!

The leader is a giant named Xue Qianzhang, standing four zhang tall!

He said in a deep voice, ”The City Lord only gave us half a month.”

”And we’ve delayed for over two weeks. If we don’t return soon, the consequences will be more severe.”

”As for the matter of the Evil Crow Jade Seal, we will report to the City Lord truthfully. Since someone named Jiang Fan dared to fight us for the Evil Crow Jade Seal, he should be prepared to lose his life!”

A cold glint flashed in Xue Qianzhang’s eyes.

Initially, he had already obtained it from the Great Yin Sect, only to have it snatched away by Jiang Fan halfway!

”As for the Little Spirit Beast, it’s already confirmed to be in Taicang State, so that can be handled.”

”The Sage will personally descend upon Taicang State to find it!”

”Let’s go! Return!”

He leaped and was the first to jump off the endless cliff’s abyss.

The others, dispelling their doubts, followed suit and jumped down.

Soon, they squeezed into a Nascent Soul Cave Mansion that seemed extremely small to them.

Arriving in front of the black Pill Furnace engraved with nine dragons.

Xue Qianzhang looked down and noticed the Pill Furnace had been moved, and he squinted his eyes:

”A Nascent Soul Realm has discovered this place and attempted to move the Pill Furnace.”

This furnace cannot be moved without a Nascent Soul Realm soul.

But there were faint signs of movement on the Pill Furnace before him.

This is not a good sign.

Thinking about it, he took out an explosive jade talisman, showing a tinge of regret:

”This Nine Dragon Demon Tripod is a top-grade Spiritual Artifact. I originally wanted to secretly take it away during the ancient war.”

”But now that a Nascent Soul Realm has its eye on it.”

”Instead of benefiting Taicang State, it’s better to exile it to the Void.”

”If we at Heavenly Heritage City can’t have it, no one else should either.”

He placed the jade talisman under the Nine Dragon Demon Tripod and urged, ”Go, quickly leave!”

”One stick of incense later, the jade talisman will trigger the Space Power within the tripod, tearing open the Void and swallowing everything around it!”

Saying so, he opened the lid of the furnace.

A violent Space Power burst out, engulfing everyone in it.

With a clang, the furnace lid closed again, and peace was restored around.

But soon after.

A whooshing sound appeared outside the cave.

It was Jiang Fan.

”Yue Mingzhu!” he called out as he walked inside.

But there was no response from inside the cave.

Jiang Fan grew worried. If Yue Mingzhu is not here, where else would she be?

Is she at Tai Lake?

Or at Boundary Mountain?

Or perhaps she has returned to Taicang State, alone in some place, unwilling to return to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion?

As he pondered, he stepped into the cave.

It was then he noticed something unusual.

The ground that should have been covered in dust had large footprints!

They were human-shaped but unusually large.

The smallest one was as big as Jiang Fan’s chest.

”This is...?” Jiang Fan wondered, ”Ancient Giants?”

”No, smaller than Ancient Giants, but many times larger than normal humans.”

”Half-Giants!”

He quickly recognized it, narrowing his eyes.

”It’s that group of Half-Giants capturing the Little Qilin?”

”I remember their leader is called Xue Qianzhang, right?”

”Why are they here?”

Jiang Fan followed their footprints cautiously to the alchemy room on the left.

The ground was still full of footprints, but there was no sign of the Half-Giants.

”Have they left?”

Jiang Fan looked puzzled.

No.

The air was still filled with a strong aura of the wilderness, indicating they had been here not long ago.

If they had left, they would have run into Jiang Fan coming here.

Jiang Fan’s eyes flickered: ”There’s something fishy!”

He squinted, staring at the tightly sealed furnace lid on the Pill Furnace.

If there’s still any mystery left in this Nascent Soul Cave Mansion, it would be the Nine Dragon Demon Tripod before him.

He closed his eyes, activating the Space Origin within him.

Upon closely sensing, he indeed detected a peculiar abundance of Space Power within the Pill Furnace.

He was shocked: ”This Pill Furnace, is it the core of a state-level teleportation array?”

”The Half-Giants returned to the two states through the Pill Furnace?”

”No wonder they disappeared all of a sudden.”

”I never thought there’d be a hidden teleportation array between Returning Ruins State and Taicang State here.”

Jiang Fan exclaimed in surprise.

The Nascent Soul Cave Mansion accidentally discovered by him and Yue Mingzhu harbored such a significant secret.

Truly unexpected.

Wait!

Jiang Fan’s expression suddenly froze as he grasped the Nine Dragon Demon Tripod, exclaiming in shock:

”Could it be that Yue Mingzhu inadvertently activated the Space Power within the Nine Dragon Demon Tripod, transporting her to Returning Ruins State?”

”Is that why she went missing?”

Thinking of this, Jiang Fan’s face changed dramatically.

This teleportation array likely leads to Heavenly Heritage City.

That is probably the Half-Giants’ territory!

If Yue Mingzhu, being a woman, got transported there, would she face danger?

Having witnessed the conduct of Xue Wanchong and Xue Qianzhang and the other Half-Giants, none of them are benevolent.

Without hesitation, he grasped the furnace lid.

Yue Mingzhu left everything behind to venture to Taicang State with him, yet Jiang Fan needed Yue Mingzhu to plead for even a little companionship.

Now, Yue Mingzhu revisits their lost places of memory, longing for their past, only to be transported to Returning Ruins State, caught in a crisis.

How could he hesitate?

He must go to Returning Ruins State and bring her back.

Still, he didn’t lose his composure.

With a swift motion, he retrieved the Space Mirror, and the Little Qilin poked its small head out, ”Master, what’s wrong?”

Jiang Fan thought for a moment, then said, ”You came from Heavenly Heritage City in Returning Ruins State?”

He remembered Xue Qianzhang saying the Little Qilin was a Sage’s spiritual pet, lost in Heavenly Heritage City.

The Little Qilin nodded, then shook its head, saying, ”I came from Returning Ruins State, but I seem to have come to Returning Ruins from a place much farther.”

Jiang Fan was surprised, ”A place farther away? Where did you actually come from?”

Speaking of which, the Little Qilin had never mentioned its origins.

The Little Qilin scratched its round head with its little paw, saying, ”I forgot too. Anyway, it was a very, very far place.”

”I only remember that after waking up, people in Returning Ruins State were trying to capture me.”

”Then, a tearful lady threw me into a transmission array, and I was teleported to the North Sea.”

”After that, I went to the Tiger Demon Emperor Mansion and was chased by the Sky Demon Emperor until I met Master.”

Jiang Fan was puzzled.

A tearful lady?

Who could that be?

He patted the Little Qilin’s round head, saying, ”If you can’t remember, don’t worry about it.”

Along with Hua Xin, there were already two individuals around him who had forgotten their own identities.

He was already quite accustomed to it.

”Since you were captured by people from Returning Ruins State, just stay hidden in the mirror and don’t come out.”

”Xue Qianzhang said you are a Sage’s spiritual pet, and undoubtedly, it was a Sage Realm entity trying to capture you.”

”If he discovers you, I won’t be able to protect you.”

The Little Qilin brandished its tiny claws, revealing two little tiger teeth, fiercely saying:

”Then I’ll slap him to death!”

Jiang Fan laughed, stuffing it back into the mirror.

Taking a deep breath, he opened the furnace lid, and a force of Space Power surged out, wrapping around him and pulling him inside.

Simultaneously.

Underneath the furnace, a talisman flashed urgently, emitting a dangerous red glow.
