Chapter 1245: Forbidden Land Master

Zhang Chuyun looked hurried and said, "Something has happened in the Forbidden Zone."

"The Grand Libationer and the six Devil Gate Masters are all trapped in the Forbidden Zone!"

"What?"

Lin Danqing couldn't believe his ears: "Our Grand Libationer too..."

"How is that possible?"

"She is the Grand Libationer!"

As a powerful expert overseeing an entire province, her strength was beyond doubt.

It was no exaggeration to say she was the strongest in the province.

Zhang Chuyun's voice was low: "The Grand Libationer is powerful, but she's facing Venerable Wutong."

"Quickly summon the other two commanders. We'll split up and seek help from the Imperial Astronomers in the other four provinces."

Jiang Fan was utterly shocked.

The Grand Libationer of Dahang Province, along with the six most powerful Devil Gate Masters, all trapped deep within the Dahang Forbidden Zone?

Was it due to the Forbidden Zone itself?

Or was it Venerable Wutong's doing?

If the latter, what kind of being was this Venerable Wutong?

Lin Danqing's expression also changed. Realizing the urgency of the situation, he dared not delay.

He apologized to Jiang Fan: "Sect Master Jiang, I am terribly sorry."

"Something major has happened to our Imperial Astronomers, and I cannot break away."

"You'll have to go to the Pillar of Heaven yourself."

They were in such a desperate rush; how could Jiang Fan hold them up?

However, sensing their anxiety, Jiang Fan thought for a moment and asked:

"May I ask, is there any danger to the Grand Libationer and the six Devil Gate Masters, trapped in the Forbidden Zone?"

Dahang Province was also one of the Nine Provinces of the Central Lands.

If the powerful experts of this province perished in the Forbidden Zone, who would stand against the ancient giants?

And if Dahang Province fell, it would surely affect the other provinces.

As the saying goes, 'when the lips are gone, the teeth feel cold,' Taicang Province would find it difficult to remain uninvolved.

If he could help them, he might as well do so.

Zhang Chuyun was burning with anxiety and had no patience in her tone:

"Nonsense! A place called a Forbidden Zone, how can anyone stay there for long?"

"They are temporarily trapped. If too much time passes, they will be permanently solidified in the Misty Demonic Liquid!"

"Commander Lin, let's quickly go and meet up with the other commanders."

She immediately took off!

Commander Lin cupped his hands at Jiang Fan and also turned to leave anxiously.

Jiang Fan pondered: "Sirs, I have a slight connection with Venerable Wutong of the Dahang Forbidden Zone."

"But I'm not sure if I can definitely help you."

Zhang Chuyun and Lin Danqing abruptly halted, turning their heads to look at Jiang Fan with astonishment.

Lin Danqing said in disbelief: "You... you know Venerable Wutong?"

"How could that be?"

"Venerable Wutong hasn't left the Forbidden Zone for a thousand years."

Jiang Fan shook his head: "No, I don't."

"However, an old acquaintance of Venerable Wutong asked me to deliver a message to her."

"I think I should be able to speak with Venerable Wutong."

"As for whether I can help you rescue the Grand Libationer and the six Devil Gate Masters, I cannot guarantee that."

Ultimately, he was just a messenger.

Insignificant.

It was even possible that Venerable Wutong had forgotten about an old acquaintance named Lu Jiulin, who hadn't even broken through to the Soul Transformation Realm.

Lin Danqing gasped: "Who is this senior you speak of?"

"Venerable Wutong is a supreme being of the Five Declines of Heaven and Man!"

As an old acquaintance of Venerable Wutong, they must at least be a being of the Three or Four Declines of Heaven and Man, right?

Jiang Fan's pupils constricted.

Venerable Wutong was that powerful?

No wonder she could suppress all the top experts in Dahang by herself.

He swallowed subtly and said, "An old acquaintance of hers from a thousand years ago left a dying wish for me to convey."

Lin Danqing felt relieved; this made more sense.

Immediately, his face showed delight.

Compared to calling for reinforcements, Jiang Fan's chances of rescuing the Grand Libationer and the others were much greater.

Because the reinforcements might not be able to contend with Venerable Wutong!

Besides being a supreme being of the Five Declines of Heaven and Man, she also had the Forbidden Zone as her backing.

In an era where Sages did not emerge, who would dare claim to be her match?

"Sect Master Jiang! If you can save our Grand Libationer, you will be the benefactor of our Imperial Astronomers in Dahang Province!"

"I'll even kowtow to you!"

Jiang Fan waved his hand and said, "You're overstating it."

"Without further delay, let's go to the Dahang Forbidden Zone first."

"The matter of the marriage alliance will have to be put on hold for now."

Lin Danqing hurriedly returned to the teleportation hall and said, "Very well, please follow me."

Zhang Chuyun listened with a surprised expression, unable to resist scrutinizing Jiang Fan up and down.

Where did this young man come from, to actually have a connection with Venerable Wutong, the master of the Forbidden Zone?

She walked up to Lin Danqing and transmitted her voice: "Commander Lin, who is this... fellow Daoist?"

Lin Danqing quickly inserted a high-grade crystal and replied, "He is the Sect Master of the Great Yin Sect from Taicang Province."

"The Great Yin Sect is one of the three strongest sects in Taicang Province."

Zhang Chuyun was dumbfounded.

This excessively young person, whose cultivation was only at the Five Aperture Nascent Soul Realm, actually held such a significant status?

Did the Great Yin Sect have no one else?

To choose such a junior to be their Sect Master.

She somewhat doubted if Jiang Fan was truly reliable.

As the formation activated,

The group of four instantly vanished from their spot, reappearing at a sect in the westernmost part of Dahang Province:

Myriad Devil Cavern.

As one of the six major Devil Gates of Dahang Province, the Myriad Devil Cavern also had an intra-province teleportation array.

Their Sect Master was also trapped in the Forbidden Zone.

Therefore, the Nascent Soul experts of the Myriad Devil Cavern were gathering.

The sky was darkened by a dense mass of experts from the Myriad Devil Cavern.

Jiang Fan did a rough count and was secretly astonished.

There were over a hundred experts at the Mid-Nascent Soul stage alone, nearly twice as many as the Three Divine Sects of Taicang Province.

And there were six such sects in Dahang Province.

Adding the medium and small sects, there were at least a thousand Mid-Nascent Soul experts.

Their arrival immediately attracted the attention of the Myriad Devil Cavern.

"Zhang Chuyun! How dare you use our Myriad Devil Cavern's teleportation array?"

A woman in her thirties, wearing a black feathered crown and with demonic energy forming her skirt, shot cold glares from her eyes.

Zhang Chuyun's phoenix eyes widened, and she sharply said, "Xiao Heyue, don't be impudent!"

"Now is the time to save people; I don't want to deal with you!"

"Let's go!"

She stepped out of the teleportation hall and soared towards the sky.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, the sky above darkened as a colossal demonic energy beast claw, capable of obscuring the heavens, descended and savagely clawed towards them.

Zhang Chuyun angrily said, "Xiao Heyue, do you think I'm afraid of you?"

As she spoke, she decisively made her move.

She silently chanted, and colorful runes flew out from her mouth, weaving together above her head to form a shimmering, sharp sword of rainbow light, which pierced against the sky.

The two collided in the sky, generating a colossal wave of energy that pushed all the surrounding Nascent Soul experts aside.

The Myriad Devil Cavern's sect-guarding array was also activated, shooting out beams of formation light.

Xiao Heyue said with a cold face: "If it weren't for saving you, how would our Venerable One and the other five Devil Gate Masters be trapped in the Forbidden Zone?"

Zhang Chuyun gritted her teeth, unable to retort.

Not long ago, two Venerable Ones arrived in Dahang Province from a privately constructed provincial-level teleportation array.

They battled their way through, causing considerable destruction.

Finally, they intruded into the Forbidden Zone, disturbing its master, who, in a fit of rage, activated the Misty Demonic Liquid.

The Grand Libationer gathered the Venerable Ones of the six Devil Gates to suppress the demonic liquid together, to prevent it from harming the surrounding living beings.

She also accompanied them. During the process of assisting, she accidentally got caught in the demonic liquid while trying to save a companion.

The Grand Libationer and the six Devil Gate Masters extended a helping hand, which led to a misunderstanding by the Forbidden Zone Master, who mistakenly believed they were trying to force their way in.

Thus, she personally intervened and trapped them as well.

"Nothing to say now, right?" Xiao Heyue said coldly, "For the sake of a mere Seven Aperture Nascent Soul like you, our Venerable One has been put in danger."

"Even if you die a hundred times, it wouldn't be enough compensation!"

Having said that, she once again condensed demonic energy.

Zhang Chuyun was not to be outdone, silently chanting runes.

Seeing that the two were about to engage in a major battle, Jiang Fan calmly shouted:

"Stop, both of you!"
