Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 587: Chapter 587 Suspicion Chapter 587: Chapter 587 Suspicion As for others,

they would have taken the benefits and run away long ago.

Who would have thought to stay behind, acting innocent and pitiful?

Only Jiang Fan could pull that off.

“My failed attempt to possess a body wasn’t in vain after all.”

“You rascal, you’re so sneaky it’s maddening.”

The Six-Path Masters had finally accepted it.

Jiang Fan checked if there was anything suspicious on him.

He said at the same time, “You think I want to?”

“If I disappear, the Green Crane Masters would immediately know I took the Bodhi Tree and your ring.”

“Could I run away and still hide from him?”

“If he goes to the Green Cloud Sect and threatens my sect, what am I supposed to do?”

“Besides, Yun Xia still holds two of my items.”

“I must retrieve them before leaving.”

Uh—

The Six-Path Masters suddenly understood, saying, “That’s true.”

“I know Green Crane Masters a bit; they seem righteous but are actually ruthless.”

“Be careful, they’re hard to deal with.”

Jiang Fan’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.

Inside the Magma Pool,

he had witnessed the decisiveness and meticulousness of the Green Crane Masters.

If it weren’t for the sudden appearance of the Ancient Giant,

he had no doubt that the Green Crane Masters would have found him.

Not long after,

from that huge breach,

the Green Crane Masters emerged first.

Two disciples followed closely behind.

Concubine Yunxia and the Demon King Chunni were last.

As soon as they emerged, Concubine Yunxia immediately looked at Jiang Fan.

The person she suspected the most was Jiang Fan.

Finding him still tied up obediently, she frowned.

She stepped forward to carefully inspect the Dragon Binding Chain.

Finding it still tightly bound,

she was preparing for a more thorough check.

Jiang Fan acted bewildered:

“What happened inside just now?”

“Why did it feel like the mountain was shaking?”

This diversion caused Concubine Yunxia’s mind to stir up.

Halfway up, the mountain had shaken violently.

A terrifying roar was faintly heard.

“This place isn’t safe; we should leave quickly.” Concubine Yunxia undid the chain on one end of the stone pillar.

She tugged at the chain and bowed toward the Green Crane Masters: “Thank you for your protection along the way, senior.”

“We will take our leave.”

As the Secret Realm had reached its end,

there was no need to entangle further with the three of them.

Especially Lu Liang,

whose gaze made her very uncomfortable.

“Wait.”

The Green Crane Masters narrowed their aged eyes, scrutinizing Jiang Fan.

“Has this person been here all this time?”

Jiang Fan’s heart skipped a beat.

As expected, this old guy wasn’t easily fooled.

He put on a confused expression and asked, “Why do you ask that, senior?”

The Green Crane Masters approached, amiably clasping their hands together without a trace of arrogance from an Nascent Soul Expert, saying, “Little friend, allow me to introduce myself, Green Crane Masters.”

“I know you took my Bodhi Tree and an important treasure of our Ten Thousand Tribulations Holy Temple by accident.”

“However, the ignorant are not guilty; it’s fine.”

“Just return them, and I won’t blame you. I’ll even take you back to the Ten Thousand Tribulations Holy Temple and offer you a position as a Hall Member.”

“How about it?”

Jiang Fan sneered inwardly.

Speaking better than singing.

Didn’t the Green Crane Masters’ ruthless nature in the Magma Pool reveal their true character?

If he admitted it, the Green Crane Masters would definitely teach him a harsh lesson.

He would have to reincarnate as a new person.

“Bodhi Tree? Treasure? I took that?”

Jiang Fan widened his eyes.

He looked at the chain on his hand, then at Concubine Yunxia.

He feigned utter bewilderment.

Concubine Yunxia’s brow furrowed unintentionally.

She said, “Senior, Jiang Fan is bound by the Dragon Binding Chain, which even Nascent Soul Experts cannot break free from.”

“And the key has always been with me.”

She took out the key from Jiang Fan’s home and showed it to the Green Crane Masters.

The Green Crane Masters glanced at the key, then pulled the chain forcefully.

Finding it unyielding, even with his hidden exertion, he pondered.

Then Concubine Yunxia added, “Even hypothetically speaking,”

“if he broke free from the Dragon Binding Chain, how could he have descended before us?”

“And if it were him in the Magma Pool, he would leave after us.”

“So why did he come up before us?”

The Green Crane Masters’ doubts were largely dispelled by these words.

“I know it’s unlikely him,”

he inwardly understood.

But since no one else was around, he probed Jiang Fan.

Judging from his reaction,

there was nothing suspicious.

Still, being cautious and meticulous,

he had not completely let go of his doubts about Jiang Fan, saying:

“Little friend, I know it’s not you,”

“but just to be safe, I need to check you over.”

“I hope you don’t mind.”

This was not a request,

but an order.

Jiang Fan’s heart tightened.

The Six-Path Masters had hit the mark.

The Green Crane Masters were indeed troublesome.

“Lu Liang, search him.”

The Green Crane Masters said without expression.

Lu Liang approached, glancing disdainfully at Jiang Fan before viciously searching him.

Jiang Fan bit his lip, eyes filled with humiliation, but dared not resist.

Concubine Yunxia stood by, heart in her throat.

Jiang Fan had a Space Storage Device,

filled with treasures as many as those in the Secret Realm.

If the Green Crane Masters found it, they would certainly keep it for themselves.

And to prevent information from leaking, they would surely kill him.

And if Jiang Fan was killed, would they also kill Concubine Yunxia and the Demon King Chunni?

“Why do you have nothing?”

However,

to Concubine Yunxia’s surprise, Lu Liang kicked Jiang Fan after searching him.

He had expected to find something valuable.

But not a single hair.

Lu Liang and the Green Crane Masters’ anticipated search was preemptively thwarted by Jiang Fan.

He had the Little Qilin hide the Heavenly Thunder Stone in advance.

Finding anything would indeed be strange.

Concubine Yunxia let out a sigh of relief, giving Jiang Fan a meaningful glance:

“I took everything from him when he was captured.”

“He truly has nothing.”

Seeing that Jiang Fan had no valuables,

the Green Crane Masters’ suspicions were put to rest.

Brows furrowed deeply: “That’s odd.”

“Who has such exceptional skills?”

“Entering before us, yet leaving after.”

He considered asking Jiang Fan if he had seen anyone emerge.

But reconsidered:

The person had been invisible in the Magma Pool, unseen by him.

How could Jiang Fan have noticed?

“Forget it, let’s leave and investigate later.”

“I’ll turn the two sects upside down if necessary to find this person.”

He scowled, huffing gloomily.

Concubine Yunxia, seeing this, bid farewell again:

“I will take my leave now, junior.”

She led Jiang Fan onto the Golden Claw Iron Wolf.

The Demon King Chunni obediently followed.

Lu Liang watched Concubine Yunxia’s figure reluctantly.

Suddenly,

he noticed Jiang Fan staring at him coldly, sneering:

“Still holding a grudge against me?”

“So what if I searched you and kicked you?”

“Dare to complain?”

“Concubine Yunxia, you may go, but he stays!”

Having gained nothing from the trip, he was full of anger.

Jiang Fan just happened to be the unlucky target.

“Fine!” Jiang Fan stood coldly, “As long as your master doesn’t interfere, I’ll deal with you.”

Ha ha ha!

Lu Liang laughed in anger: “A nobody from nowhere dares to challenge me?”

“So ignorant and fearless!”

“Fine, I’ll show you how pathetic you barbarians are compared to the Holy Land disciples in martial arts!”

His body trembled,

releasing his Seventh Layer of Core Formation’s terrifying cultivation.

Such cultivation, even outside the Giant Sect, would rank among the top three elders of the other eight sects!

Yet, he was just a disciple in the Ten Thousand Tribulations Holy Temple!

What talent!

Jiang Fan’s eyes narrowed.

The Seventh Layer of Core Formation, though challenging, might not be unbeatable.

But suddenly,

under the Good Buddha’s base,

a long scarlet tongue shot out like lightning!
