Chapter 258: Chapter 258: When You Were Born, I Was Already Old Chapter 258: Chapter 258: When You Were Born, I Was Already Old Buzz——

Gong Caiyi’s body trembled violently, and the Spiritual Power within her shook uncontrollably, emitting a faint buzzing sound.

She suddenly turned her head and whispered urgently, “What nonsense are you talking about?”

“I am the head of a sect, and Jiang Fan is just a junior.”

“How could I have such shameful thoughts?”

She noticed that Yuan Zhiyu was trembling in fear.

Only then did she realize that she had lost control of her emotions.

After taking a few breaths to compose herself, she smoothed over her lapse of composure.

Gazing at the figure of Jiang Fan, who had disappeared from sight, she stood in silence for a long time before finally turning around.

In a voice only Yuan Zhiyu could hear, she sighed softly:

“If I were ten years younger.”

“Perhaps I might.”

Speaking of Jiang Fan.

Two days later.

They smoothly arrived at the western border of the Spirit Beast Sect.

A Yangtze River several miles wide blocked their path.

Gazing out at the scenery.

The Nu River roared against the shore, with turbulent waves roiling toward the sky.

The surging, cross-flowing river water was intimidating to behold.

Chu Xingmeng gasped in awe, “So this is the Nu River?”

“It’s rumored to be bottomless and ten miles wide.”

“Even the Nine-Sect Masters can only cross it by boat.”

The one who knew the most about the river was naturally Yi Lianxing.

She nodded slightly with her snow-white chin and introduced to Jiang Fan:

“The Nu River marks the boundary between the Spirit Beast Sect and the Desires Sect.”

“Once we cross it, we’ll be within the Desires Sect’s territory.”

“Ahead, there is a dock managed by a local Martial Path Family. We can borrow a large boat to cross the river easily.”

Jiang Fan gazed into the distance.

Soon enough, he saw a dock not far from the riverbank, with the shadows of several boats faintly visible.

He immediately spurred his horse, leading the group dauntlessly toward it.

As they approached, they discovered that there was also a large contingent beside the dock.

It was an unfortunate coincidence that it was Ming Youlian and Fu Chaohun who had set out earlier.

They were waiting for the boatmen to load their horses onto the boat while they rested in a pavilion.

Seeing Jiang Fan approach.

Fu Chaohun sneered, “Oh, what luck.”

“You’ve made it here safe and sound.”

Jiang Fan replied indifferently:

“You’d better worry about your two hundred Merit Points.”

With a single sentence.

He instantly touched Fu Chaohun’s sore spot.

Both were executing a level-one task, both would face danger.

Jiang Fan’s mission offered a final reward of four hundred Merit Points, whereas he would only receive two hundred.

Who could tolerate such a disparity?

Fu Chaohun smashed the tea cup in his hand against the stone table, shattering it.

“Under Gong Caiyi’s protection within the Spirit Beast Sect, you can be as arrogant as you want!”

“Outside, you better behave!”

Jiang Fan, composed and unruffled, held the reins.

Instead of being afraid, he rode forward to confront him.

He glanced at Ming Youlian, who remained silent while letting her disciple make trouble.

And calmly said, “The same goes for you.”

“If you want to cause trouble, I’m ready!”

Bam——

Fu Chaohun slapped the stone table in front of him, stood up abruptly, and laughed angrily:

“I see you’re courting death!”

Warning Jiang Fan once, instead of intimidating him, actually provoked him to approach!

Completely disregarding him!

Clang——

With his movement.

Qin Caihe and Chu Xingmeng both drew their swords and spurred their horses to Jiang Fan’s side.

Yi Lianxing also rode over, frowning at Fu Chaohun, and snorted:

“You’re not even out of the Spirit Beast Sect’s territory, yet you dare to be so reckless!”

“Once within the Desires Sect’s domain, do you plan to kill Jiang Fan and sabotage our mission to escort the Thousand-mile Eagle?”

The more they protected Jiang Fan, the angrier Fu Chaohun became.

His Spiritual Power surged within him, and he scoffed, “So what if there are many of you?”

“A bunch of shrimp soldiers and crab generals dare to challenge me, Fu Chaohun?”

Seeing that he was determined to make an issue here.

Jiang Fan drew his Black Sword and pointed it far toward him, “So be it, I’ll make you give up your delusions!”

Otherwise, he would always think Jiang Fan was easy to bully, and the trouble would never end.

Just as the confrontation seemed imminent.

Ming Youlian, who had been pretending not to hear, seeing the situation escalating, finally spoke up.

“Chaohun, why bother with them?”

If it was just a personal grudge with Jiang Fan, it wouldn’t be a big deal.

It wouldn’t matter much even if it was exposed.

But with the disciples from the other Three Sects involved, the situation changed.

Firstly, it meant offending three sects at once.

Secondly, these four were tasked with the crucial mission of escorting the Thousand-mile Eagle, which could turn the tide of the battle.

If they were severely injured and the mission failed, could Fu Chaohun escape the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion’s punishment?

Could he, the Great Elder who allowed his disciple to act violently, avoid responsibility?

“But Great Elder, this kid is too arrogant!” Fu Chaohun protested unwillingly.

Ming Youlian replied calmly, “What use is boasting?”

“Let’s see if he can cross the river safely first.”

Fu Chaohun finally realized.

He withdrew his Spiritual Power and showed a gloating expression, “I almost forgot to tell you.”

“The Nu River has been restless lately, with a group of powerful Water Demon Beasts appearing mysteriously.”

“They have been causing storms, overturning many passing boats.”

“Without a strong expert, you can’t get across.”

Hmm?

Jiang Fan looked toward the surging river with a doubtful expression.

Yi Lianxing was also skeptical, “This stretch of water has been swept by our Spirit Beast Sect countless times.”

“If there were Water Demons, wouldn’t we know?”

However.

She quickly noticed a few derelict boats moored on the riverbank.

On the boat hulls, faint claw marks were visible, and some even had large holes.

Her pupils slightly constricted, and she rode her horse to inspect the boat with a large hole.

Not long after, she returned to Jiang Fan, holding a tusk as long as an arm, with a serious expression.

“Junior Brother Jiang, I’m afraid we’ll have to take a detour.”

She showed Jiang Fan the menacing tusk.

Chu Xingmeng compared it to her own arm and shivered, “Teeth as long as an arm? This Demon Beast is formidable!”

“This is just an infant’s tooth.”

Yi Lianxing said, “An adult’s teeth are longer than a person’s height.”

“One bite can snap a medium-sized boat in two.”

“And it moves swiftly, like lightning.”

“Without Martial Artists of mid-stage Core Formation or higher, it’s hard to handle.”

After finishing, she waited for Jiang Fan to ask further about the Demon Beast.

In terms of understanding Demon Beasts, who in the Nine-Sect could compare with the Spirit Beast Sect?

This was her area of expertise.

A chance to showcase her value.

However, to her surprise.

Jiang Fan took the tooth, glanced at it, and muttered, “So the Nu River has Red-Scaled Evil Flood Dragons.”

“These beasts are very ferocious, and this is their mating season.”

“Any disturbance easily angers them.”

“Crossing the river won’t be easy.”

Uh——

Yi Lianxing couldn’t believe her ears.

Jiang Fan actually recognized the source of the tooth?

And knew that it was their mating season?

This was something she, as an elite in the Spirit Beast Sect, had never heard of.

She stood there for a while, feeling somewhat defeated, “I didn’t expect that Junior Brother Jiang also had knowledge in the field of Demon Beasts.”

“Lianxing is impressed.”

Not far away, Fu Chaohun frowned.

How come this Jiang knows everything?

But in a way, this was good.

Knowing the threat of the Red-Scaled Evil Flood Dragons made the next part easier to say.

He smirked, “You can’t cross the river on your own.”

“I’ll be generous and have our Great Elder escort you across.”

“But, you must show some appreciation.”

“That bottle of Earth Phoenix Grass Marrow you have, I like it very much. Consider it a protection fee.”

“What do you say?”

Jiang Fan sheathed his Black Sword.

And said with a meaningful smile, “Escort me?”

“Or rather, I escort you, which seems more reliable!”
