Chapter 1424: All States Arrive

Yue Mingzhu, hearing this, retorted, "Master, you mustn't speak of him that way. He's not a heartless man! He just has too many burdens on his shoulders to pay attention to other things."She could think that herself, but she wouldn't allow others to speak of Jiang Fan that way.

The Old Man of Forgetfulness snorted, "Still defending him! Because of him, your Dao heart is unstable. If he's not heartless, then what is he?"He felt helpless. This wasn't the first time Yu Shengyan had suddenly spaced out during cultivation, just like today. Her mental state was clearly affected. He had once thought of personally going to Taicang Prefecture to capture that heartless man. However, Yu Shengyan was still infatuated, determined to protect him, and refused to reveal his name.

Thinking of this, he became even more convinced that he needed to open a new romantic path for Yu Shengyan. Coincidentally, that person named Jiang Fan was truly an extraordinary talent. He was in no way inferior to the descendants of the great sages in Zhongzhou!

"I see you're not focused on cultivation. Prepare to make a trip to Ten Thousand Monsters Prefecture. The Grand Libation there will assign you a task."

Ten Thousand Monsters Prefecture? Yue Mingzhu pondered for a moment. Wasn't Jiang Fan's cultivation of the 'Vedic Saint True Spirit Art' still lacking one type of true spirit blood? Ten Thousand Monsters Prefecture was a gathering place for the demon race, with several descendants of true spirits. If she could obtain their essence blood, Jiang Fan's cultivation art would be complete. Her eyes brightened slightly, and she said eagerly, "Then your disciple will depart immediately."

The Old Man of Forgetfulness said, "What's the rush? Take these items inside for self-defense." He handed Yue Mingzhu a spatial storage device containing various magic treasures, several spirit pills, and a few tufts of rabbit fur. This mission was personally arranged by the Ancient Saint, and there might be danger.

Afterward, he took out a silver leaf and flicked it into Yue Mingzhu's body. "Master, what is this leaf?" Yue Mingzhu asked. The Old Man of Forgetfulness replied, "I've found a good man for you. With this leaf, you'll be able to sense his location. When you go to Ten Thousand Monsters Prefecture, you can meet him along the way."

Was Master truly trying to introduce her to a man? Yue Mingzhu's expression didn't change as she said, "Yes, Master." But inwardly, she thought coldly, "Where did this scoundrel come from, tricking my Master into such a state? You'd better not think of getting close to me, or I won't hesitate to make you disappear from this world!" In her heart, even secretly meeting another man would be a betrayal of Jiang Fan. If this person tried to take advantage of any rift between her and Jiang Fan, then he shouldn't blame her for being ruthless and merciless.

"Your disciple bids farewell!" Yue Mingzhu left the ruins and headed towards the Qintian Supervisory.

The Old Man of Forgetfulness watched her depart, sighing faintly, "During the calamity, I will rely on you, my disciple. I hope that with your 'Emperor's Aura-Viewing Art,' I can quickly gain enough merit to become a Sage. Only then can I complete my plan. Suzhen has been waiting for me for a hundred years. It's time for me to fulfill our shared ideal of saving the Central Lands."

He grabbed his wine gourd and tilted his head back for a drink. In a trance, he seemed to see a young man and woman parting ways on the continent a hundred years ago. One walked towards the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, taking the path of awakening the Ancient Saints. The other went into seclusion to comprehend the soul, walking the mysterious path of the soul.

Qintian Supervisory.

Jiang Fan arrived at the Qintian Supervisory and looked at the main island in the center, wondering if he should go up and thank the Grand Libation. If she hadn't shielded him from the Benevolent Sage's senses, he wouldn't have been able to avenge the Seven Cities of Tianyuan.

"Waaah, Xiaoqiang, you died so tragically!" The Grand Libation's wails echoed from afar. The surrounding Qintian Supervisory members immediately panicked!"Grand Libation, please don't cry! I apologize to you, I shouldn't have stepped on this cockroach. I deserve to die, I'm not human, just please don't cry.""If you cry, we'll have to cry too.""Waaah, I can't take it, I'm crying already! Brother Cockroach, you died too young, how can we live on?""I can't take it either, boo-hoo, Uncle Cockroach, I'll burn more leftovers for you.""Boo-hoo-hoo, Elder Brother Cockroach, rest in peace. Your wife and daughters, I will raise them. Do not worry!"

Listening to the entire Qintian Supervisory crying over a cockroach, Jiang Fan got goosebumps and quickly slipped away into the state-level teleportation array for Ten Thousand Monsters Prefecture. He decisively activated the teleportation array to escape.

With a dizzying sensation, he soon landed firmly on his feet, only to immediately start vomiting violently again. However, it was still much better than listening to people cry over a cockroach.

"Senior, are you reinforcements from Guixu Prefecture?" A female commander, whose cultivation had reached the Seven Apertures Nascent Soul realm, sensed someone's arrival and hurried over, holding a jade scroll. Upon seeing Jiang Fan's face, she asked doubtfully, "You wouldn't happen to be... Jiang Fan of Taicang Prefecture?"

Jiang Fan nodded and said, "I've been ordered to come support Ten Thousand Monsters Prefecture. What do you need me to do?" The Ancient Saint had only specifically named him to come to Ten Thousand Monsters Prefecture. They hadn't mentioned what was important in Ten Thousand Monsters Prefecture, nor had they assigned a specific task.

Confirming that the person before her was indeed Jiang Fan, the commander's starry eyes widened, and she exclaimed excitedly, "It really is you! Oh my heavens, you've come to our Ten Thousand Monsters Prefecture! Everyone, come and see!"Jiang Fan was speechless. Had his reputation spread so quickly? He quickly stopped her, saying awkwardly, "Commander, let's discuss the important matters first." As he spoke, he took out the human skin mask and put it on his face. He also put the three conspicuous swords from his back into his spatial storage device. It was more convenient to act this way.

Only then did the commander realize Jiang Fan disliked drawing attention, and she stuck out her tongue, saying, "My apologies. Senior Jiang, if you're here to support our Ten Thousand Monsters Prefecture, please go to Spirit Serpent Mountain."

Jiang Fan's heart tightened. Spirit Serpent Mountain? Wasn't that where Lingshu and Liuli went? He asked in a deep voice, "What happened at Spirit Serpent Mountain?"

The commander said gravely, "Beneath Spirit Serpent Mountain, a pocket world was unexpectedly discovered. It's a self-contained space, and it's full of creatures from hell. About half a month ago, that pocket world connected with Ten Thousand Monsters Prefecture, and many hell creatures poured out, causing immense destruction. Our Grand Libation went to assist, but hasn't returned yet."

A self-contained world, entirely filled with creatures from hell? Jiang Fan's expression instantly became serious. He had witnessed the terror of the hell creatures in the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion's underground world. Not only were they powerful, but they often appeared in large groups, vast in number, making them extremely difficult to deal with. Given the Grand Libation's strength, the fact that she had been there so long without resolving the danger indirectly indicated the severity of the crisis.

"I'll go immediately!" Jiang Fan felt anxious. Lingshu and Liuli were at Spirit Serpent Mountain. Had they encountered danger since they hadn't returned for so long? He clarified the direction to Spirit Serpent Mountain and was about to head there.

Suddenly, a strong spatial fluctuation erupted from a nearby island. The commander's eyes lit up, and she said, "Someone from Tianzhou has arrived! I wonder who Tianzhou has sent to assist this time." It turned out that the Ancient Saint had not only informed Guixu Prefecture but all other prefectures as well. Hearing "Tianzhou" didn't faze Jiang Fan much at first. However, a pressure characteristic of the Five Decays of Heavenly Beings, mixed with a chaotic thunderstorm aura, also surged from the array. Jiang Fan's body subtly tensed, and he narrowed his eyes, staring intently at the teleportation array. Could it be that person?
