Chapter 1231: Not Afraid to Call You My Baby

As Half-Giants, their cultivation system differs from that of the Central Land. Unlike ancient giants, they do not experience the so-called "going mad." Blood Qianzhang currently possesses a physique with a Nine-Orifice Nascent Soul, yet he hasn't gone mad. In contrast, the Great Yin Sect's Nine-Orifice Nascent Soul experts are still suffering in a state of madness, unable to exert effective combat power.

Therefore, in an era where Nine-Orifice Nascent Souls succumb to madness and cannot emerge, Half-Giants like Blood Qianzhang are considered invincible in the Nascent Soul realm.

Jiang Fan's eyes flickered with a sharp gleam. He said, "Since you refuse to leave, I'll send you out myself! My soul power has just reached the Eight-Orifice Nascent Soul stage; this is a good opportunity to test the power of those soul secret arts."

Blood Qianzhang chuckled, "The Great Yin Sect truly has no one left. A mere Five-Orifice Nascent Soul junior comes to take the lead." Blood Qianzhang had no interest in fighting a junior of such a low cultivation level.

These words undoubtedly stung the pride of the Great Yin Sect disciples. A bearded Eight-Orifice Nascent Soul elder stroked his beard and said, "Sect Master Jiang, please step back. We will handle the Great Yin Sect's affairs ourselves."

Jiang Fan waved his hand. "Let me do it. You may not be their match."

The Eight-Orifice Nascent Soul elder was momentarily stunned, then looked at Jiang Fan with a hint of gratification. Putting aside other considerations, Jiang Fan's fearless and unyielding demeanor, unafraid of powerful opponents, was a hundred times more impressive than that of the previous Great Yin Sect Master! Jiang Fan had not shamed the Great Yin Sect; how then could he allow Jiang Fan to face an insurmountable enemy alone?

He stepped forward, positioning himself in front of Jiang Fan. His eyes fixed sharply on Blood Qianzhang. "Our Sect Master is right. The Great Yin Sect is no place for you Half-Giants to run wild!"

With a soft hum, the yin energy within him surged forth, condensing into a flute above his head. A strange, low flute sound radiated outwards. Several Half-Giants instantly felt their internal power stagnate and become difficult to circulate. Their massive bodies lost their strength, becoming unsteady.

This was the first time Jiang Fan had witnessed a Great Yin Sect cultivation method that did not belong to the Yin Corpse lineage. It used sound waves to inject yin energy into the enemy's body, controlling their power circulation. It was a rather impressive technique. However, while effective against other races, it might not be miraculous against Half-Giants. This was because Half-Giants possessed the bloodline of ancient giants! Their bloodline rendered them impervious to fire and water, making them nearly indestructible by conventional means.

Indeed, Blood Qianzhang crossed his arms over his chest, and purple veins bulged across his skin. He had activated the bloodline of the ancient giants. The sound waves entering his body had no effect on him. The other Half-Giants also activated their ancient giant bloodlines, successfully neutralizing the sound waves.

The Eight-Orifice Nascent Soul elder exclaimed in surprise, "This..."

Blood Qianzhang said calmly, "With such meager strength, do you truly dare to challenge us from Heaven's Legacy City? Let's use our fists to talk instead. It might be faster that way." He lowered one hand and lightly waved it toward the elder. "One force against all methods!"

With a single punch, space subtly distorted, and faint black cracks appeared. The materialized purple fist wind, like a beam of light, instantly pierced through the flute above the Eight-Orifice Nascent Soul elder's head. With a bang, the flute dissipated into scattered yin energy. The Eight-Orifice Nascent Soul elder, as if struck by an immense force, was sent flying backward like a phantom, crashing through several great halls. He finally collapsed in a pile of dusty ruins.

"Elder Li!" Another Eight-Orifice Nascent Soul shrieked and quickly flew over to cradle him. What shocked him and the others was that Elder Li's bones were shattered, his skin was completely abraded by the fist wind, and he was a bloody mess. His breathing was extremely weak, barely more than an exhalation. A seemingly casual blow had left an Eight-Orifice Nascent Soul on the brink of death.

One disciple angrily tried to charge forward but was held back by an Eight-Orifice Nascent Soul elder. "Don't make a futile stand; he's nearly formed a Dharma Idol. Even a Nine-Orifice Nascent Soul might not be able to defeat him."

In body refinement, the Nascent Soul realm is known as the Golden Body stage. Breaking through the Golden Body to achieve the physique of a Spirit Transformation Venerable is to form a Dharma Idol. The three-headed, six-armed phantom behind Blood Qianzhang was the nascent form of a Dharma Idol. His current physique had already surpassed the Nine-Orifice Nascent Soul and was approaching the Venerable level. Therefore, his fist wind was unstoppable!

Blood Qianzhang retracted his fist and chuckled. "I told you, this way of negotiating is more efficient. Hand over the Evil Crow Jade Seal, unless you wish to suffer more physical pain."

The several Eight-Orifice Nascent Souls exchanged glances. There was reluctance in their eyes, but what could they do without Evil Crow Venerable present? At this moment, the most rational course of action was to hand over the Evil Crow Jade Seal, preserve their strength, and await Evil Crow Venerable's emergence from seclusion to reclaim it. The ancient giants were about to descend, and they could not afford further casualties.

A seasoned Eight-Orifice Nascent Soul elder retrieved a fist-sized black jade seal from his spatial storage device. The base was an imprint, and the top was carved with a lifelike black crow, but without pupils. It gave the illusion that it could spread its wings and fly at any moment. This was the Great Yin Sect's so-called divine artifact.

Blood Qianzhang snorted, "Consider yourselves sensible." He strode forward and snatched the jade seal. A hint of excitement finally appeared in his eyes. "The Evil Crow Jade Seal, finally mine! It is said that this was an extraterrestrial jade seal found by your Great Yin Sect's patriarch. It contains mysterious power that helps one comprehend domains related to the Evil Crow, enabling them to become Spirit Transformation Venerables! In our Heaven's Legacy City, a senior is very interested in this and wishes to borrow it for a look, offering a hefty price. After that senior has seen it, I will return it to you. Of course, if that senior refuses to return it, there's nothing we can do." He burst into laughter, raising his hand to tuck the Evil Crow Jade Seal into his robes.

Unexpectedly, just then, a low whisper reached him: "Soul Prison Lock."

In an instant, Blood Qianzhang's body stiffened abruptly. His heart was utterly startled. He found his soul bound by mysterious chains, making it difficult to control his body. "Is this a soul secret art? Who is it?"

At that moment, a figure swiftly darted in front of him. He extended five slender, fair fingers and casually snatched the Evil Crow Jade Seal from Blood Qianzhang's hand. Seeing who it was, Blood Qianzhang was utterly surprised. "That young brat?"

The Great Yin Sect disciples also widened their eyes in astonishment! What was happening? Jiang Fan had actually immobilized Blood Qianzhang and retrieved the Evil Crow Jade Seal that was already in his grasp?

Jiang Fan toyed with the Evil Crow Jade Seal, saying with interest, "It's actually a supreme treasure that can help one achieve Spirit Transformation! No wonder it's my treasure! Truly extraordinary!" With that, he skillfully tucked it into his robes.

The Great Yin Sect disciples were dumbfounded. "Your treasure? When did it become yours?" They suddenly realized that Jiang Fan's unyielding confrontation with Blood Qianzhang wasn't for the Great Yin Sect. It was because he valued his Evil Crow Jade Seal!

Feng Yuanzong nearly spat blood in irritation. "That guy!" He had initially felt a degree of admiration for Jiang Fan, believing him to be fearless and unyielding in his duty as Sect Master. In the end, it was all for a treasure! The abrupt reversal also made several Eight-Orifice Nascent Soul elders glower in annoyance. Elder Li, who had just regained consciousness, was so enraged he kicked his legs and fainted once more. He had, after all, been tragically mistaken!

Blood Qianzhang was furious, breaking free from the Soul Prison Lock. He raised his palm and fiercely slapped toward Jiang Fan's head, shouting in humiliated rage, "You're insolent!"
