Chapter 1332: One Stroke to Cancel

"Do you know what this is?" Venerable Sinister asked, gripping a red wish paper between two fingers.

Jiang Fan replied without hesitation, "A wish paper."

Venerable Sinister's eyes showed appreciation. "Good insight."

Jiang Fan cautiously probed, "Your disciple just returned from Hunyuan Continent and has seen them before. Master, are you planning to use it to locate Wang Chongxiao?" If it was just about finding Wang Chongxiao, he had nothing to worry about.

In fact, it would be a great thing. It could lead Venerable Sinister to the Celestial Realm! Once Venerable Sinister was there, he would move the Black Pillar of Heaven's Connection, trapping him there forever!

His only fear was that Venerable Sinister's wish wasn't to find Wang Chongxiao. And sure enough, his fears were realized.

Venerable Sinister shook his head and said hoarsely, "I heard that Venerable Evil Crow of the Great Yin Sect has a secret technique called 'Star Shift.' It allows one to transfer their own power to another body. Is this true?"

Jiang Fan's pupils contracted sharply. Venerable Sinister knew about Star Shift! This was the core secret behind the accusation Jiang Fan had leveled against Wang Chongxiao!

Just as he had anticipated, the longer Venerable Sinister stayed in Taicang Great State, the more he would uncover the truth and find the hidden Jiang Fan. Now, only a thin veil separated him from discovering Jiang Fan!

He suppressed his racing heart and calmly said, "Your disciple does not know."

Venerable Sinister didn't doubt him. "It's normal not to know; it's Venerable Evil Crow's forbidden secret technique. Only members of the Great Yin Sect can obtain it! And that Wang Chongxiao is a member of the Great Yin Sect, so it's possible he cultivated this art. Therefore, how he acquired his Void Current Thunderforce is questionable. Perhaps he cultivated it himself, or perhaps someone else transferred it to him."

Jiang Fan's heart was in his throat. Venerable Sinister was now infinitely close to the truth. His eyes darted, and he tried to guide the conversation.

"Master, you only need to use the wish paper to find Wang Chongxiao's location. Capture him and question him, and the truth will be revealed." He only hoped Venerable Sinister would quickly go to the Celestial Realm.

Everything could then end! However, Venerable Sinister turned his head, surprised. "You usually seem so clever; why are you so muddled at a crucial moment? Haven't you understood what your master means? The practitioner of Void Current Thunderforce might not necessarily be Wang Chongxiao!"

"Wishing to find him would be like carving a mark on a boat to find a dropped sword." He raised the wish paper, his gaze slightly narrowed.

"Your master only needs to wish to find the Void Current Thunderforce! Whether it's Wang Chongxiao or his accomplice, whoever possesses the Void Current Thunderforce is the person I'm looking for!" With that, he raised the wish paper, preparing to activate it.

Jiang Fan's heart sank to the bottom. The scene he most feared had come to pass. Venerable Sinister had seen through the layers of fog, pointing directly to the core: the Void Current Thunderforce! He had no more escape routes!

Prepare for battle!

Just then, Venerable Sinister suddenly stopped, his aged eyes looking into the distance. Jiang Fan followed his gaze and was slightly stunned.

A beautiful woman in a long yellow dress, with an oval face and enchanting looks, was rapidly approaching, carrying a man with a severed wrist. Her figure was slender, and as the strong wind blew, her long dress clung to her body, outlining her exquisite curves. Who else could it be but Venerable Truth?

Venerable Sinister raised an eyebrow. "What are you doing here?"

Venerable Truth glanced at him. "I'm not looking for you." Her eyes shifted, falling upon Jiang Fan, and she landed in front of him.

Jiang Fan cautiously moved closer to Venerable Sinister. "What do you want now? I warn you, I'm Venerable Sinister's true disciple now. Try touching me again!" Venerable Truth was a huge headache for him.

This petty woman always threatened him whenever they met. Unexpectedly, Venerable Truth was very calm this time, as serene as she had been when they first met, elegant and graceful.

"Let's talk." "Venerable Sinister, please give me a moment."

Venerable Sinister pondered for a moment. "If it's just a conversation, that's fine, but don't harm him. This old man only has one true disciple; no one is allowed to harm him." Venerable Truth replied, "I won't. I just want to talk."

"Jiang Fan, come with me." Jiang Fan hesitated, muttering to himself, but still followed Venerable Truth a short distance away.

Venerable Truth waved her wide sleeve, and a powerful isolation barrier appeared around her. The outside world could neither see nor hear their conversation. Jiang Fan eyed her sideways. "What do you want to talk about?"

Venerable Truth didn't say much. She took out a Heavenly Thunder Stone, and faint traces of crimson lightning arcs coursed across its surface. The boundless Blood Tribulation Thunder within Jiang Fan's body reacted, uncontrollably surging to his skin.

"Boundless Blood Tribulation Thunder?" Jiang Fan was startled. Venerable Truth actually possessed such a thing!

This lightning was several times more powerful than ordinary tribulation lightning; even with the support of his Heaven-Penetrating Marrow, Jiang Fan had almost died under the tribulation lightning that day. "Wait!" Jiang Fan suddenly realized something. "I knew it! Why do I always teleport next to you?"

Once in the treasury, another time falling from the sky. Each time he just happened to teleport to her side! So, it was because Venerable Truth possessed the boundless Blood Tribulation, causing spatial movement to automatically lock onto her.

Venerable Truth's expression was calm as she tossed the Heavenly Thunder Stone to Jiang Fan. "You're giving it to me?" Jiang Fan quickly caught it, somewhat disbelieving.

Venerable Truth said, "Didn't you say you wanted me to redeem someone? Is the boundless Blood Tribulation Thunder in this Heavenly Thunder Stone enough?" Jiang Fan scanned the Heavenly Thunder Stone and couldn't help but beam with delight.

The boundless Blood Tribulation inside was even more abundant than what he had experienced during his own tribulation that day! It was enough for him to cultivate the final part of the "Six Heavenly Thunder Sections," the "Yin-Yang Heaven," to completion.

He nodded gleefully. "Enough, it's perfectly enough!" "When you're being reasonable, you're actually quite pleasing to look at." It seemed the sun had risen in the west today; not only was Venerable Truth not being unreasonable, but she was generously gifting him thunder power.

Venerable Truth nodded. "Furthermore, let's clear the slate on our past. Whether it's you saving me, or me being... 'offended' by you, or my father unilaterally arranging an engagement. Let all of it vanish into thin air, how about that?" Jiang Fan was stunned.

From Venerable Truth's words, it seemed she wanted to sever all ties and no longer interact. After a brief pause, Jiang Fan said, "I have no objections."

"As for saving you when you fell from the Celestial Realm, that was also because you gave me the life-saving lotus. Every cause has its effect; it's the cycle of karma. However, I did damage your reputation, and rumors spread throughout Hunyuan Continent, making it difficult for you to find someone you admire. If you can let go of your emotional burden, I would only be happy; why would I refuse?"

It was the first time Venerable Truth had spoken so calmly with Jiang Fan. She suddenly felt he wasn't as detestable as she thought. Gently nodding, she pointed to the Dust Mirror in her hand and explained, "My entanglement with you has severely affected his Dao Heart."

"So, I want to end all our disputes with you to give him a clear and peaceful cultivation space, so he can achieve Soul Transformation sooner." Jiang Fan glanced at the Dust Mirror.

This guy wasn't much, but he certainly had a good master. He said, "So, what does Venerable Truth mean?"

Venerable Truth looked at Jiang Fan calmly. "From now on, let us be strangers. Can we agree to that?" Jiang Fan felt a pang of melancholy.

Venerable Truth was the first Soul Transformation Venerable he had encountered, and the one who had saved him from Venerable Evil Crow. He had once felt deep gratitude and genuine respect for her. Now, for the sake of her disciple, Venerable Truth wanted them to be strangers. For a moment, he couldn't bring himself to agree.
