Chapter 1165: Chapter 1165: I Didn’t Steal This

Jiang Fan was momentarily stunned.

If memory serves, the Sky-Burning Clam Pearl can even speak human language.

It said it would go find its master, the Ice and Fire Demon Lord, and then disappeared into the air.

How could this pearl be in this place?

Did it ever find its master?

But before Jiang Fan could call out, the Sky-Burning Clam Pearl had already swept across the sky and quickly vanished into the distance.

Jiang Fan muttered to himself, "It sure runs fast!"

This round bead can aid the Demon Race in breaking through the Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

If it could be brought back, both Yun Shang and Slave Heart could elevate their cultivation to a higher level.

Just as he was pondering this.

A sudden commotion erupted from the Madhouse, with several terrifying Nine Aperture Nascent Soul auras surging into the sky.

Jiang Fan’s mouth twitched: "Failed so quickly?"

"I thought your theft technique was supposed to be impressive!"

He took out the Bronze Grasshopper and decisively activated it, ready to make his escape!

Unexpectedly.

Xuanyi Master appeared from his invisibility state.

It was due to the sudden spatial fluctuations emanating from his palm.

Looking closely, the Yin Fish seemed to be responding to some summons, emitting spatial ripples.

Xuanyi Master exclaimed with joy, "Could it be a success?"

The next moment.

The Yin Fish disappeared, replaced by a Yang Fish floating above Xuanyi Master’s palm!

Jiang Fan was taken aback.

This guy actually succeeded in stealing it!

How did he do it? And so quickly!

After the incidents involving the Six-Path Masters and the Hell Beast stealing the True Spirit Blood, the remaining Divinity Transformation Demon Beast’s corpses should have been heavily guarded.

It was already extremely difficult to approach them, let alone steal them away.

And to do it so swiftly?

This person’s theft technique is indeed quite something.

Whoosh!

With a soft sound, the space around them rippled slightly, as Shu Bu Xu used the space technique to instantly return.

He shouted urgently, "Quick, activate the Bronze Grasshopper!"

Raising his head, he noticed Jiang Fan had already activated the Bronze Grasshopper, ready to bolt at any moment.

He couldn’t help but be stunned, "You kid, you’re this quick to react?"

Jiang Fan felt a bit guilty.

He had been planning to escape on his own, not expecting Shu Bu Xu to return so quickly.

"I’ve been quick to react since I was a child!"

With that, he spurred the Bronze Grasshopper into action.

In an instant, ninety percent of the Nascent Soul power in his body was drained away.

The Bronze Grasshopper swelled to a height of one zhang.

Its two sturdy legs bent, storing energy.

Jiang Fan’s gaze swept over, and he noticed a handle on the grasshopper’s back, which he quickly grabbed.

Shu Bu Xu didn’t think much of it.

He immediately grabbed another handle, and Xuanyi Master followed suit.

At this time.

The Nascent Soul experts of Sanqing Mountain were all in pursuit, rapidly closing in on their location.

Some even wielded space magic treasures!

At the critical moment.

The grasshopper suddenly leapt forward.

Its legs unleashed an unparalleled surge of power.

The hundred-zhang-high mountain peak beneath them collapsed from the force of its kick.

The grasshopper transformed into a shadowy blur, slicing through the air and leaving black fissures in the sky.

Amazingly, it seemed to be on the verge of shattering space!

Jiang Fan felt an unprecedented force hitting him, almost flinging him off the back of the grasshopper.

All his bones creaked under the immense pressure of its explosive speed.

It felt as if he might fall apart.

Luckily, the process was brief.

When the Bronze Grasshopper finally halted.

Jiang Fan and the others were already five hundred miles away from Sanqing Mountain!

At such a distance, even the Nine Aperture Nascent Soul would take some time to catch up.

Jiang Fan gazed in wonder at the now-shrunken Bronze Grasshopper in his hand.

As an escape magic artifact, the Bronze Grasshopper was undoubtedly an excellent means.

"Phew! Pulled off another big one!"

Shu Bu Xu exhaled a long breath, a smile spreading across his face.

Vaguely, the aura of theft madness around him intensified.

Jiang Fan pondered quietly.

It seemed Shu Bu Xu’s repeated acts of theft only drove him more mad.

Could it be that the ultimate madness would pierce through the fog, awaken him, and allow him to enter divinity?

He began to comprehend the nature of the Nascent Soul Martial Artist’s madness.

Rather than madness, it was more an obsessive sublimation of the path they cultivated.

When their path sublimates to its peak, it forms a domain.

Then waking up into divinity!

"Alright, this mission is perfectly completed."

"Thank you both for your efforts."

Shu Bu Xu interrupted Jiang Fan’s contemplation, smilingly looking at them.

Xuanyi Master held the Yang Fish, eyes fervent, and said:

"Are all Divinity Transformation Demon Beast corpses inside?"

Shu Bu Xu said, "Haven’t looked carefully, but all things from the chamber surrounded by four Nine Aperture Nascent Souls are inside."

Implying, not only Divinity Transformation Demon Beast corpses, but other stuff too.

Xuanyi Master eagerly said, "So, shall we divide the loot now?"

Shu Bu Xu gave a crafty smile, "No rush, there’s a small favor I still need you two to help with."

He looked towards Sanqing Mountain, saying, "Those Taoists are chasing urgently, need two scapegoats."

"You both can just endure a little more."

After speaking, snapped his fingers: "Have a little sleep."

Xuanyi Master’s inner "madness" instantly exploded to the extreme, causing dizziness.

He started staggering and soon fell to the ground.

Jiang Fan was startled for a moment, also pretended to stagger, and then lost consciousness.

Shu Bu Xu got his way.

First came in front of Xuanyi Master, taking the Yang Fish from his hands.

Noticing a piece of Magic Artifact showing in Master Xuanyi’s arms.

Yet, didn’t bother to take it.

He’s only interested in stealing, taking things while causing unconsciousness is robbery.

Not his style.

Then, smilingly he approached Jiang Fan.

"You kid too, give me my Bronze Grasshopper!"

He pried open Jiang Fan’s hand, but his smile suddenly froze.

"Huh?"

"Where’s my Bronze Grasshopper?"

He hurriedly searched Jiang Fan, but found nothing on him, not even the Space Storage Device.

The Bronze Grasshopper, of course, was stuffed by Jiang Fan into the Heavenly Thunder Stone.

Then let the Little Qilin carry the Heavenly Thunder Stone and escape with instantaneous movement.

In summary.

The Bronze Grasshopper can never be returned in this lifetime.

"Kid, where did you put my Spiritual Artifact?"

Shu Bu Xu asked anxiously.

He stole in the front, but got pilfered by Jiang Fan from behind.

Jiang Fan tactically played dead.

Anyway, with the Bronze Grasshopper missing, Shu Bu Xu dares not take any drastic action against him for now.

Wait until he finds the opportunity to hit Shu Bu Xu hard.

That Infinite Ring should be able to be activated once more.

But, just when Shu Bu Xu planned to wake Jiang Fan, the air suddenly became hot.

Shu Bu Xu’s expression changed drastically, whispering, "Ice and Fire Demon Lord?"

"He’s chasing again?"

At this moment, he cared little about Jiang Fan, leaving him behind to flee.

Took out a Space Scroll and tore it.

However, the Space Power within was suppressed by an invisible force and couldn’t be activated!

A cold voice echoed from all directions.

"Knew you had eyes on Sanqing Mountain, set a Heaven and Earth Net around long ago."

"This time, you can’t escape."

With the voice falling, a massive fire-red net covering boundless heaven and earth manifested from the void.

Rapidly contracting towards this place.

Jiang Fan opened a slit in his eyes, showing a look of surprise.

He finally understood what the Sky-Burning Clam Pearl was doing wandering around nearby.

It was weaving a giant net, hindering space teleportation.

Shu Bu Xu’s face changed drastically, showing an anxious expression.

He also knew, this time he probably wouldn’t escape.

The Ice and Fire Demon Lord would definitely kill him.

But, as long as he doesn’t hand over that item, the Ice and Fire Demon Lord would definitely spare his life.

Thinking of this.

He had a sudden inspiration, taking out the Yin Yang Fish containing all his possessions.

Stuffed it into Jiang Fan’s arms.

If he’s not captured, he’d come back to retrieve it.

If caught, he’d find a way to escape and then seek out Jiang Fan for it.

Settling the Yin Yang Fish, he decisively fled towards the distance.

The giant net immediately followed, swiftly closing in.

Once he was gone.

Jiang Fan sat up, a bit dumbfounded, pulling out the Yin Yang Fish from his arms.

Puzzled, he said, "Anyone willing to testify for me!"

"This thing wasn’t stolen by me!"

"It was stuffed into my arms forcefully!"
