Chapter 1421: Leaving (5)

Senior Sister Chen was also stunned. She immediately widened her eyes and exclaimed in surprise, "He's Jiang Fan!" As someone who had embroidered Jiang Fan's image onto her pillow and looked at it daily, she was extremely familiar with his appearance.

"Ah! It really is Jiang Fan!""Oh my heavens, I'm seeing the real Jiang Fan!""Junior Sister, let me borrow your face for a moment.""Why?""To pinch it and see if I'm dreaming."

Jiang Fan felt a bit awkward because of them. He sheepishly greeted, "Jiang has met all the senior and junior sisters of Mount Qunxing. Thank you for undoing the starlight restraint."

Everyone suddenly realized. No wonder the Great Venerable had forcibly brought Jiang Fan back and bound him with the Telepathic Ring. It turned out that Fairy Ziwei's groom was the famous Jiang Fan! In comparison, what was the Young Master of Tianyi City? Jiang Fan was a legend renowned throughout the world!

Suddenly, Senior Sister Chen reacted and quickly said, "Quick, tie him up, don't let him escape! Tie him up with several layers! The Great Venerable was too careless; how could she leave his mouth and nose exposed? Tie him up, if it doesn't kill him, tie him until it does!"

Fairy Ziwei sighed; she knew it would come to this. Before Jiang Fan was swarmed by the group of women, she quickly parted the crowd, pulled him out, and swiftly led him into a secret chamber.

The crowd, dissatisfied, chased after them to the entrance of the secret chamber."Fairy Ziwei, what do you mean? Are you trying to keep Jiang Fan all to yourself?""Hasn't the Great Venerable always taught us to share? Have you forgotten?""If you do this, you'll become a public enemy of Mount Qunxing!"

Inside the secret chamber, Fairy Ziwei shook her head and said, "You don't need to pay attention to them." Jiang Fan looked speechless. He had originally planned to wander around and look for an opportunity to leave Mount Qunxing. Hearing the clamor outside, he immediately abandoned that idea. Boys need to learn to protect themselves when outside.

Fairy Ziwei took out a spatial talisman, activated it, and departed. Before leaving, she said, "After the marriage, the Heavenly Thunder Stone will be returned to you."

Once he confirmed her departure, Jiang Fan's eyes flashed. He took out the spatial mirror from his embrace and tilted it, pouring its contents onto the floor. With a clatter and jingle, various miscellaneous items spilled out. They were all contents from the Heavenly Thunder Stone. It turned out that when Fairy Ziwei had set her sights on the Heavenly Thunder Stone, Jiang Fan had decisively instructed the little Qilin to transfer as much of its contents as possible. Due to the limited time, the little Qilin only managed to take a small portion.

Looking closely, there were a few spirit artifacts, some spirit pills, and various other items like Xitu (Breath Soil) and the Evil Crow Imperial Seal. Gulu-lu, the little Qilin also rolled out of the mirror, its tiny mouth holding a jade box containing the essence of thunder, and its two small paws clutching a black bell. Jiang Fan, surprised, took the small black bell from its paws. "I almost forgot about this thing." The black bell was none other than the Hell Soul Bell!

The underground world of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion was formed when powerful beings from the Underworld Realm, vying for the Hell Soul Bell, broke through the boundaries between the Underworld and the Middle Lands. Among the participants were the mother of the Asura Saint Son, an Asura Emperor named Dongfang Canyue; the owner of an Asura King named Ayu, and the mother of the Little Unhorned Young Master, also an Asura Emperor, Empress Dugu. Additionally, there were countless Asura Kings and Nascent Soul stage Asura warriors. The final outcome was that the Ancient Sage of Yunhuang was drawn in, suppressing them all, leading to their complete annihilation. And this Hell Soul Bell, after a thousand years, had, by a twist of fate, fallen into Jiang Fan's hands.

However, apart from scaring creatures from the Underworld, the bell seemed to have no other function. Shaking his head, he put away the Hell Soul Bell.

He then picked up the essence of thunder and murmured, "The old man of Heavenly Secret's compensation shouldn't go to waste either." He immediately sat cross-legged, preparing to comprehend the essence of thunder.

The little Qilin looked at the purple ring on Jiang Fan's wrist and worried, "Master, what should we do?" The presence of the Telepathic Ring left Jiang Fan with no opportunity to leave Mount Qunxing. Jiang Fan, with his eyes closed, said while comprehending, "If I wanted to leave, I could do so at any time. I'm just hesitating."

Dusk was approaching. Inside Fairy Ziwei's cave dwelling, she quietly gazed at the red bridal attire sent by her senior sisters. The phoenix crown was exquisite and dazzling, the bridal cape splendid and noble, and the red dress vibrant and bright. The walls were covered with red characters, a pair of candles inscribed with "囍" (double happiness) awaited lighting, and on the table were a few small dishes, a pot of wine, and two wine cups. Even the normally elegant white bed curtains had been replaced with red ones. Additionally, her master had sent dowry items: the Purple Lightning and Green Frost swords, which rested quietly in the corner.

"Am I to be married?" Fairy Ziwei stood still for a long time, softly murmuring. After a long while, she sat before her dressing mirror, picked up a comb, and silently styled her hair, creating the most beautiful hairstyle for today's grand wedding. She was completely unaware of a faint spatial fluctuation flickering in her embrace.

Meanwhile, in the secret chamber, Jiang Fan slowly opened his eyes. Chaotic arcs of lightning immediately crackled around him. Space shimmered beside him, and the little Qilin teleported back, holding a Heavenly Thunder Stone in its mouth. "Master, I got it!" the little Qilin excitedly said. "They didn't notice, 'kay?"

Jiang Fan held an imperial seal in his hand. The lower half was the stamp, and the upper part was carved with a lifelike crow, devoid of eyes. Its posture was so realistic it seemed as if it would soar into the sky if eyes were added. It was precisely the Evil Crow Imperial Seal of the Great Yin Sect.

"Xue Qianzhang was ordered to specifically go to the Great Yin Sect to request this item, stating that an elder needed it. Half-giants practice body refinement and have no use for this item. Only human cultivators of the Dharma need it. And the elder who could make Tianyi City so eagerly assist could only be the Master of Mount Qunxing. This imperial seal will serve as compensation then."

Afterwards, he looked at the purple jade ring's phantom image on his wrist. As he silently recited an incantation, a green eye appeared on its surface. This was the replicating eye he had seized from Wang Chongxiao. When the Master of Mount Qunxing activated the jade ring, Jiang Fan had secretly activated the eye, replicating its control method. Now, he could easily exert it. He watched as the phantom on his wrist rapidly solidified, finally transforming into a solid purple jade ring. Jiang Fan took it off and placed it on the table. A complex emotion flickered in his eyes as he said, "Let's go."

With a thought, spatial fluctuations appeared around him, teleporting him and the little Qilin away. When they reappeared, Mount Qunxing was already very far behind them. The little Qilin said, "We successfully escaped!" Jiang Fan replied, "It's too early to say. If the Master of Mount Qunxing notices, she could catch up in an instant. I'll disguise myself first." He possessed a mask that even those in the Five Decays of Heavenly Beings stage couldn't see through. Wearing it, the Master of Mount Qunxing would find it difficult to recognize him even if she pursued.

However, just as his consciousness probed into the Heavenly Thunder Stone, he suddenly froze. It wasn't that items were missing from the Heavenly Thunder Stone; rather, there were more. The Purple Lightning and Green Frost swords, intended as dowry, lay quietly inside. The Telepathic Ring from Fairy Ziwei's wrist was also there. Beside the jade ring was a jade slip. Inscribed within it was the method for controlling the Telepathic Ring. Fairy Ziwei had long anticipated that the little Qilin would retrieve the Heavenly Thunder Stone. She had let Jiang Fan leave. She had never intended to force Jiang Fan to marry her. She had only wanted to help Jiang Fan obtain the Purple Lightning and Green Frost swords.
