Supreme Emptiness

Chapter 1379: Chapter 1396: Heavenly Mechanism Elder

But, just at that moment.

Moo——

A loud moo of a blue ox swept across the heavens and earth!

The sound had immense penetration, causing the space around to tremble violently.

The black-clothed youth’s body trembled as well, and his hand, which was about to strike Jiang Fan, paused.

When he regained his senses, a ruthless glint appeared in his eyes, and he aimed to strike Jiang Fan once more.

With a slap!

A gigantic hoof suddenly appeared by his side, kicking him on the shoulder.

Boom!

He, being in the Heavenly Human Two Declines phase, was kicked away like a paper doll under the hoof!

The black-clothed youth flew several miles back, tasting blood in his mouth.

He looked ahead in shock.

He saw a huge blue ox appearing beside Jiang Fan!

It was its hind hoof that had kicked him away!

On the back of the blue ox sat a shabby elder with tattered clothes and an unkempt appearance.

His face was full of dense pimples.

It looked like a toad’s skin.

At this moment, as Jiang Fan was rescued, the pimples mysteriously disappeared one by one.

The shabby elder touched his face, relieved, and with a smile, revealed his large yellow teeth:

”Just made it in time!”

If he had been a moment later, with Jiang Fan dead, he would have died under heaven’s wrath.

The black-clothed youth, rolling to a distance, recognized the elder and was shocked, saying solemnly:

”Heavenly Mechanism Elder? How come you are in Taicang State?”

This was a mysterious existence, rarely seen.

The Heavenly Mechanism Elder replied irritably, ”If I didn’t come, I’d be killed by your Young Emperor Mountain.”

”Go back and tell your Young Emperor, stop causing trouble for Jiang Fan.”

”If you want to seek death, don’t drag me down!”

The black-clothed youth was extremely shocked.

Looking at Jiang Fan, who was also in black, with eyes full of disbelief.

Who is this young man?

To actually receive the protection of the Heavenly Mechanism Elder?

Moreover, from the words, there seemed to be great taboo regarding Jiang Fan, as if he held some deadly great cause and effect.

After considering for a moment, he nodded slightly:

”Since the Heavenly Mechanism Elder is protecting him, I will return to report, farewell.”

With the Heavenly Mechanism Elder personally intervening, it was understandable that his mission failed, and the Young Emperor wouldn’t punish him further.

After speaking, he was about to leave.

”Wait!” The Heavenly Mechanism Elder snorted, ”Leave all your Thunder Power.”

”Consider it compensation for Jiang Fan.”

What?

The black-clothed youth’s face darkened, ”Please don’t make things difficult.”

He had already given the Heavenly Mechanism Elder enough face by sparing Jiang Fan.

Now he wanted him to leave the Thunder Power?

It was an unreasonable demand!

The Heavenly Mechanism Elder chuckled, ”I’m saving you! Do you still think you’re at a loss?”

Others might not know, but he was aware of the two terrifying heavenly secrets hidden within Jiang Fan.

If the black-clothed youth failed to kill Jiang Fan today, he would surely face Jiang Fan’s revenge in the future.

The great calamity of the Ancient Giant was approaching, and already two Divinity Transformation Venerables had been killed by Jiang Fan, a loss for Central Earth.

A third such instance cannot occur.

Having the black-clothed youth leave the Thunder Power was a way to avert his destiny of being killed.

The black-clothed youth’s expression changed slightly.

If anyone else had said such mysterious words, he would have scoffed.

But coming from the Heavenly Mechanism Elder, it sent chills down his spine.

Recalling that even the Initial Venerate was killed by Jiang Fan, it wasn’t impossible for Jiang Fan to kill him in the future.

Therefore, after some inner turmoil, he reluctantly took out a Thunder Mountain.

Its surface was multicolored, with Thunder Arcs splattering.

About eight zhang high.

Not much different from the Thunder Mountain Venerate Xinnie left for Jiang Fan.

He placed the Thunder Mountain down, gave Jiang Fan a long, silent look, and then swiftly left.

After he had gone far.

The Heavenly Mechanism Elder finally revealed a smile, showing his yellow teeth, and with a wave of his hand, sent the Thunder Mountain to Jiang Fan.

”Little Friend Jiang, sorry you had to go through this scare.”

Jiang Fan glanced at the Thunder Mountain before him, then curiously examined the Heavenly Mechanism Elder in front of him.

He had heard of this person long ago.

Because it was he who spread the rumor that the Continent had an Earth Qi Dragon Ball only possessed by the Ancient Saints.

This resulted in the Tiger Demon Emperor Mansion and many powerful figures from Taicang Great State vying for it.

To think, this Heavenly Mechanism Elder was such a highly ranked existence!

With a few words, he made a Venerable of Heaven and Human Two Declines retreat from the assassination attempt.

Concealing his thoughts, he clasped his hands in gratitude, ”Thank you, Elder for saving me.”

At this point, he couldn’t help but glance at the large blue ox.

Was this ox from the Demon Race?

With just one hoof, it kicked a Venerable of the Heavenly Human Two Declines away.

Its strength must be at least equal to the Heavenly Human Two Declines, right?

The Heavenly Mechanism Elder stepped forward, ”No need to thank me, I owed you.”

Jiang Fan puzzled, ”Why do you say that, Elder?”

The Heavenly Mechanism Elder was a bit embarrassed, not daring to mention that he helped Venerate Xinnie calculate that Jiang Fan was a Practitioner of Void Flow Thunder Force?

He dodged the topic, ”Everything has a cause and effect, no need to ask more.”

”Keep this Thunder Mountain, and we’ll be even.”

”We’ll owe each other nothing in the future.”

Suspicion on Jiang Fan’s face grew.

Where in the world is there random goodwill?

Though the Heavenly Mechanism Elder said he owed him, they hadn’t interacted at all!

First rescuing him, then gifting a Thunder Mountain, how could he not be wary?

Heavenly Listening Bodhisattva smiled gently, with a magnetic and slow voice:

”Accept it.”

”The resentment between you and Venerate Xinnie, along with the ensuing dangers today, all stem from one of the Heavenly Mechanism Elder’s divinations.”

”Due to this, he suffered heavenly wrath, and today he came to amend his mistake.”

A divination?

Jiang Fan immediately recalled how Venerate Xinnie suddenly attacked the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, suspecting him heavily.

So it was the Heavenly Mechanism Elder who divined the heavenly secrets and led Venerate Xinnie to find him!

Thinking of this, he became outraged!

If not for the Heavenly Mechanism Elder, Venerate Xinnie would never have found him.

Venerate Xinnie would have returned to Young Emperor Mountain after failing his mission; he wouldn’t have died by Jiang Fan’s hand, and thus the Young Emperor wouldn’t have sent two even more terrifying Venerables because of his death.

”So it was you behind this!” Jiang Fan angrily remarked.

The Heavenly Mechanism Elder glared at the Bodhisattva:

”You meddlesome bald donkey! Not only are your ears sharp, but your mouth is too!”

”How did Central Earth allow you this grand wish to hear the voices of all living beings?”

Others might not know of the Heavenly Mechanism Elder’s dealings with Venerate Xinnie.

But how could the Heavenly Listening Bodhisattva not hear?

Then he met Jiang Fan’s fiery eyes, coughed dryly:

”Didn’t the old man come to save you and end the cause and effect?”

”How about this, I’ll give you one more thing as compensation.”

He took out a Thunderbolt Seal the size of a thumb, filled with intense Origin Power.

”This is what I obtained when Venerate Xinnie asked me to perform the divination.”

”Now I give it to you, it should help you cultivate Void Flow Thunder Force to Great Success.”

Jiang Fan’s eyes brightened.

Thunderbolt Origin?

There’s actually such a thing!

Only then did he subdue the fury in his eyes, ”Alright, we’ll call it even.”

Best to let it go.

Otherwise, what could he possibly do against the Heavenly Mechanism Elder?

The Heavenly Mechanism Elder, relieved, unwillingly tossed the Thunderbolt Origin to Jiang Fan, saying:

”Lucky you!”

”Let’s not meet again, little freak!”

Saying this, he spurred the ox forward, ”Off we go!”

But at that moment, Jiang Fan called out to him.

”Hold on a moment, Elder!”

”Someone once asked me to deliver a letter to you.”
