Chapter 1280: Chapter 1286: Top-grade Spiritual Artifact – Human Skin Mask

True Word Venerable’s face was a mask of calm, but she said nothing.

She felt her situation was dire, with slim chances of survival, so she sealed her memory to prevent intelligence from Taicang State from falling into the hands of the Heavenly Realm.

As a result, she had no idea what happened afterward.

She had no memory of how she successfully escaped from the hands of a Five-Star Giant King and returned to Taicang State.

But she had her suspicions.

Especially when, during the ambush by the Five-Star Giant King against their team of Three Gods and One Bodhisattva, he ignored everyone else.

Only targeting her, further affirming her suspicions.

It must be something her father had secretly left on her that the Five-Star Giant King sensed, deeming her the biggest threat.

Therefore, he only targeted her.

Thinking of this, she snorted coldly, "Well, I really should thank him!"

"Great Wine Sacrifice, go have someone else catch Jiang Fan, I don’t care anymore."

If she returned to Hunyuan State, it would be very difficult to leave again.

So she immediately activated the transmission array to return to Taicang State.

Great Wine Sacrifice tapped his toe, interrupting the transmission, pulled out a gourd of wine he carried and shook it, saying:

"Your father sent me three jars of fine wine, I took the benefit, I have to do the work."

"You should just go back, see your father, catch Jiang Fan, exchange for rewards, isn’t that great!"

Saying this, his hand landed on True Word Venerable’s shoulder, instantly transporting her to the island leading to Hunyuan State.

True Word Venerable’s internal power was restrained, making resistance difficult.

She struggled, urgently saying, "Great Wine Sacrifice, forcing me like this, I won’t help you catch Jiang Fan."

Great Wine Sacrifice said nonchalantly, "A gentleman’s revenge is never too late."

"When the Ancient Giant War begins, I won’t be restricted to staying in Great Wilderness State, I can go wherever I want."

"By then, I’ll find that guy myself, and we’ll have a drinking contest, I’ll drink him to death!"

"So, just return to Hunyuan State in peace!"

With a casual toss, she was thrown into the transmission array, which he then activated.

True Word Venerable was instantly enveloped by spatial power, angrily saying:

"You lousy drunkard!"

"I curse you never to have wine again..."

Amidst her frustration, True Word Venerable was teleported away.

Great Wine Sacrifice’s forehead veins twitched: "You wretched girl, casting such a vicious curse!"

"I curse you to have eighteen babies in one birth!"

"Hmph!"

After being annoyed for a while, she finally calmed down.

Looking at the wine gourd in her hand, she sighed slightly:

"I wish I wasn’t so fond of wine myself."

"But not every Great Wine Sacrifice, like that old geezer in Taicang State, can reach that level."

Hunyuan State.

A large, bustling market.

In a certain alley.

Vomiting~

Jiang Fan leaned against the wall, throwing up relentlessly.

Originally, using a state-level transmission array was likely to cause discomfort.

This time, it was even more so, as he used a life-saving lotus in the spatial channel, traversing half the distance of Taicang State.

This time he couldn’t hold it in, and vomited for quite a while.

"Almost cost me my life." Jiang Fan wiped the bile from the corner of his mouth, taking a few deep breaths to feel somewhat better.

The fresh spiritual energy, the noisy clamor, and the colorful sights gradually registered in his brain.

"At least I’ve successfully escaped back to the state."

He forced a smile, looking at the Void Fishing Rod in his hand.

As he had guessed, the random transmission had a pattern to follow.

Indeed, it had sent him to where the hook of the Void Fishing Rod was.

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but wonder what he had caught with the Void Fishing Rod being cast so far.

He focused his gaze.

Jiang Fan was startled, nearly dropping what was on it.

Because it was a human face!

Could it be that he had caught someone’s face skin with a fishhook?

Fortunately, upon closer inspection, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The human face had no bloodstains, and the mouth and nose were mere holes.

"Turns out it’s a human skin mask." Jiang Fan removed the human skin mask, feeling a cool sensation upon touch.

Pulses of strong spiritual pressure were also released.

"A top-grade spiritual artifact?"

Jiang Fan was quite surprised, it turned out to be a top-grade spiritual artifact.

Such magic artifacts, not even Venerables might possess.

And it was a rather unconventional human skin mask!

If he were to wear it, even Venerables might not be able to discern it, right?

With just a random hook, he managed to catch a top-grade spiritual artifact!

This was the biggest haul from the Void Fishing Rod to date.

"Haha, no business for three years, and then a windfall that lasts for three years!"

Jiang Fan was overjoyed, unable to hold back his laughter.

He hadn’t used the Void Fishing Rod to fish for Heaven and Earth Spiritual Treasures for a long time.

Unexpectedly, with just one rare use, it brought in a huge catch!

When he tried on the human skin mask, his true visage was replaced by a scholarly middle-aged man with fair skin and no beard.

The mask’s function was not only to change appearance but even altered his body shape.

Even his gaze became calm and steady due to the mask’s change.

Jiang Fan looked into a mirror and almost didn’t recognize himself.

"What a wonderful treasure indeed." Jiang Fan took off the mask, holding it fondly.

"However, how did such a precious human skin mask end up in this little alley?"

"Could it be that someone was up to no good here, and the Void Fishing Rod fished away their mask?"

With that thought, Jiang Fan quickly stashed the mask and the Void Fishing Rod into the space storage device, patting his mouth:

"What do you mean someone else’s?"

"This is a wild mask I caught with my skills!"

He then turned his attention to the Hell Beast Bronze Artifact in his hand.

By now, its inscriptions had long since dimmed and it had returned to normal.

"I didn’t expect that my first encounter with Prince Asura would be saved by this Bronze Hell Beast."

"But is it really that intimidating?"

Jiang Fan was puzzled:

"According to Red Sleeves, the Hell Beast Bronze Artifact can summon a doppelgänger of a Hell Realm Master."

"A doppelgänger’s power should count as being in the Asura Emperor Realm."

"The Asura Saint Son’s power at this moment should also be at the Asura Emperor level."

"Why was he so afraid?"

Or did he fear something else?

Thinking this, he took out the Ghost Soul Crystal, skeptically eyeing the lazily reclining Hua Xin.

His mind couldn’t help but recall an ancient scene stored in Hua Xin’s memory.

She stood at the pinnacle of endless stairs, facing nine Nine-winged Angels alone.

Combining today’s scene, Jiang Fan had a suspicion that the Asura Saint Son wasn’t afraid of the bronze artifact.

But of Hua Xin.

"Sister Hua Xin, could I discuss something with you?"

Jiang Fan grinned, taking out a Yin Qi radish.

Hua Xin didn’t even bother to open her eyes, covering her face with a book, waving a hand:

"No, don’t ask, don’t want to talk."

Her attitude was unexpectedly aloof!

Jiang Fan’s forehead veins twitched: "Damn ghost girl!"

"Jiao Huang Yin, Xuanxing, show her why flowers are red?"

Hua Xin swiftly got up, ran to the Ghost Soul Crystal, and beat against the crystal wall, angrily saying:

"You brat! Is this how you treat your lifesaver?"

Jiang Fan put away the Yin Qi Vegetables: "Who told you not to accept my toast and only accept penalty wine."

"I ask you, you’re at odds with that Asura Saint Son, right?"

Hua Xin immediately activated the bronze artifact without any sign of kinship.

It was clear that she definitely didn’t like the Asura Saint Son.

Hua Xin snorted, "Does he qualify to be my rival?"

"Even though I’ve forgotten, instinctively I don’t like the bloodthirsty Asura lineage."

Jiang Fan nodded slightly, "Then I’m relieved."

Hua Xin pouted, "You can be assured, I won’t collude with the Asura Saint Son."

But Jiang Fan said, "You’re mistaken."

"I mean, if we encounter the Asura Saint Son again, I’ll just toss you out to distract him."

"Great, now I have another trump card."
