Chapter 1067: Little Tiger Seeks Help

Over the North Sea.

Jiang Fan kept looking back, a faint unease stirring in his heart.

Master Six Paths said gravely, "That Giant King isn't really chasing you, is he? Kid, why don't you write your will now? I just want the Five Magnetic Elemental Mountain. I'll take your other belongings back and distribute them among your wives. How about it?"

Jiang Fan was in no mood to joke with him. The unease in his heart grew stronger.

If it were temporary unease, it might be his overthinking. However, ever since he saw the projection from the small pagoda, that feeling of unease not only didn't diminish but grew stronger with time. Reaching the Nascent Soul realm, his perception of fortune and misfortune far exceeded that of ordinary people. Such unusual unease likely meant something major was about to happen. Nine times out of ten, his worries were real. The ancient giant was coming, and fast. He might be caught by the ancient giant before he could even return to Taicang Great Prefecture. Yet, the only true strong cultivator in the North Sea was the North Sea Demon Emperor, whose strength was far from enough to contend with a Giant King. What should he do?

Suddenly, Jiang Fan remembered a place in the North Sea: the Spirit Transformation Ruins! The blue flames there were incredibly powerful; even Spirit Transformation Venerables would find it difficult to force their way through. It was a natural barrier. His eyes lit up. He immediately cast Cloud Shadow and sped away.

Two hours later, they appeared before a floating gate of blue flames.

Master Six Paths exclaimed in wonder, "The master of these flames must have been extraordinary! He was definitely a renowned fire master in his lifetime. I can't believe there's a place like this in the North Sea. However, for you and me to enter, we'd probably lose more than half our lives. I certainly don't want to touch these flames."

Jiang Fan took out a small black box containing a flame imprint. It was precisely the entry token for the Spirit Transformation Ruins. But there was only one, and there were two of them. Jiang Fan pondered for a moment: should he give the flame imprint to Master Six Paths and try to force his way through with his Abyssal Ghost Flame? Of course, he wouldn't rashly barge in. A wisp of Abyssal Ghost Flame surged from his palm, and he hurled it towards the gigantic blue gate. Sensing an external object, the blue flames immediately surged forward, enveloping the Abyssal Ghost Flame. In an instant, the Abyssal Ghost Flame, which even a Seven-Orifice Nascent Soul would dread, was incinerated by the blue flames, turning into wisps of green smoke and vanishing without a trace. Beads of cold sweat appeared on Jiang Fan's forehead. The blue flames were far more formidable than he had imagined! Master Six Paths was also startled and immediately retreated a few steps, "My goodness, these flames! Anyone below the Venerable realm will surely die if they touch them!" Jiang Fan hesitated as well. Should he try the Origin of Fire next?

Just then, the gigantic blue flame gate swayed violently. Something seemed to be coming out. Jiang Fan and Master Six Paths immediately retreated, each preparing for defense.

A ball of orange-yellow fur ran out from the blue flame gate. It was quite fast. Master Six Paths, quick-witted, paused in surprise, "A large orange cat?" Jiang Fan also saw clearly, exclaiming in astonishment, "A little tiger?" This round-headed, plump little creature, who else could it be but Biluo's child? "How did you get out?" Jiang Fan cried out. "Your mother will be looking for you everywhere." When the little tiger saw Jiang Fan, it immediately bared its teeth and growled fiercely. It certainly wouldn't forget Jiang Fan, the human scoundrel who had caused it to get spanked.

But at this moment, the gigantic blue flame gate shook violently once more. A gigantic corpse, completely enveloped in thick Yin qi, chased out from within. It was clearly a Yin Corpse, unique to the Grand Yin Sect! The terrifying blue flames burned away the Yin qi coating the corpse. Its body instantly turned to ashes. After the Yin Corpse was burned away, a Grand Yin Sect Elder was revealed hidden inside. He had sacrificed the Yin Corpse to seize the opportunity to pass through the flame gate. As the blue flames turned towards him, he quickly darted out. This was indeed a clever method, though the cost was considerable. Neither high-grade Yin Corpses nor thick Yin qi were easily obtained.

"Little one, you can't escape!" The Grand Yin Sect Elder's cultivation was as high as Six-Orifice Nascent Soul. Staring at the little tiger, he revealed a greedy expression, "A Spirit Transformation Venerable's spirit beast, its potential for growth is limitless!" The little tiger looked back, showing fear. It let out a fierce roar and then frantically ran into the distance.

The Grand Yin Sect Elder, a Six-Orifice Nascent Soul cultivator, patted the corpse bag at his waist, and over a dozen Yin Corpses materialized, surrounding the little tiger. Without a word, they all lunged at the little tiger. The little tiger's cultivation had plummeted after leaving the Spirit Transformation Ruins, almost to the point of being negligible. How could it be a match for the Yin Corpses? It roared in despair, watching helplessly as the Yin Corpses closed in. It let out a mournful cry to the sky.

But just then, a wild, stormy aura of lightning flashed past. Immediately after, a burnt smell permeated the entire seabed. The little tiger focused its gaze. The circle of Yin Corpses surrounding it had all been sliced in half by a single sword strike. It looked blankly towards the source of the lightning sword. It was Jiang Fan, with a half-smile on his face: "Little one, did you just pee your pants?"

The little tiger glared angrily at Jiang Fan. In its eyes, Jiang Fan was a very bad person. However, compared to the group of villains who had forced their way into the Spirit Transformation Ruins, he now seemed like a very good person.

"Who are you?" Seeing all his Yin Corpses destroyed, the Grand Yin Sect Elder snorted coldly.

Jiang Fan raised his gaze to him, his smile fading as he said coldly, "I should be asking you! What are you doing at my home?"

The little tiger's round eyes widened. *How did it become your home? This is my home!*

Jiang Fan glanced at it and said, "What are you looking at? Your mother is my sister, so what am I to you?"

The little tiger raised a small paw, counted, and said blankly, "Uncle?"

Jiang Fan smiled, "That's right. I am your long-lost uncle."

The little tiger pointed at itself and said, "I'm a tiger, you're a human!"

Jiang Fan said with a grin, "That doesn't matter. My brother-sister relationship with your mother transcends racial boundaries. So, your home is also your uncle's home. Isn't that right?"

The little tiger scratched its round head. *Hmm, that seemed to make a lot of sense.*

"Young man, you don't seem to have any regard for this Elder, do you?" The Grand Yin Sect Elder's Yin qi surged within him, forming a thirty-foot cloud of Yin qi centered around him. Within the Yin qi, the roars of Yin Corpses echoed continuously.

Jiang Fan turned his gaze to him, frowning, "You chased my nephew, and you still dare to be arrogant?" Two beams of lightning suddenly shot out from his eyes, and they were continuous! As Jiang Fan's eyes swept across, the two lightning beams swept through the entire Yin qi cloud. Wherever they passed, the Yin qi instantly dissipated. The Yin Corpses within were also severed into two charred halves.

"Ah! Black Sky Eye at perfection? Are you from the Myriad Tribulations Holy Temple?" The Grand Yin Sect Elder had a bone-deep groove melted into his chest. His face was filled with shock. But his hand didn't stop. He took out a black skull bone, radiating chilling Yin qi. Waves of spiritual pressure emanated from the skull. It was clearly a low-grade spirit artifact. "Do you think I'm afraid of you?" he roared loudly. An ear-splitting shriek immediately erupted from the black skull's mouth, making one's Nascent Soul unable to function. The effect was similar to Yin qi entering the body. Jiang Fan immediately felt his Nascent Soul power rapidly stagnating. Seizing the last bit of remaining strength, he decisively took out the Five Magnetic Elemental Mountain!
