Chapter 1301: Chapter 1309: Yin Yang Fish

"It’s time for the hostage exchange."

Wu Gou Venerate swept everyone along, landing directly next to the Connecting Sky Black Pillar, not worried about Jiang Fan jumping into the pillar to escape.

Because, as Jiang Fan said, she could enter the Connecting Sky Black Pillar.

As long as she didn’t stay in the Lower Realm for too long.

Jiang Fan’s gaze flickered, "You release first."

"We’ll release your princess once we’re back inside the Connecting Sky Black Pillar."

Five-star Giant King’s vertical eye widened, emanating a terrifying killing intent, black streaks stretching from the space before him all the way around Jiang Fan.

"Stop playing tricks, release at the same time!"

Hearing this, the surrounding Giant Kings immediately blocked the Connecting Sky Black Pillar.

To prevent Jiang Fan from entering.

Wu Gou Venerate also squinted, grabbing Xingyuan Venerable’s Divine Ring, solemnly said:

"Allowing you to trade near the Connecting Sky Black Pillar is merciful enough."

"Still bargaining?"

The two Supreme Humans simultaneously pressured, their fearsome aura alone enough to terrify Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.

Jiang Fan, amid their intersecting terrifying aura, nearly lost his footing from the impact.

It seemed, just as he suspected.

They wouldn’t easily let Xingyuan Venerable go back.

Thinking of this, he tightly gripped the mirror, looking at Princess Zi Jiang inside.

The latter also appeared tense, watching every movement outside.

In case negotiations collapsed, Jiang Fan would surely perish together, taking her along.

Just as Jiang Fan looked over, their eyes met.

She heard Jiang Fan’s voice in her mind.

"Princess, this stalemate is meaningless."

"We can’t rule out the possibility that Wu Gou Venerate may act impulsively, which would be bad for both of us."

Princess Zi Jiang snorted, "If you don’t keep your promise and take me back to Central Earth, wouldn’t I be fooled again?"

Jiang Fan said, "Then are you planning to die together?"

"I’m nothing but a minor cultivator from Central Earth, Xingyuan Venerable’s status might be a bit higher, but surely not as precious as a princess like you."

"If we all die together, no matter how you look at it, it’s a gain for us."

Princess Zi Jiang clenched her large teeth, her eyes rolling thoughtfully.

Indeed, this stalemate is pointless.

After a moment’s consideration, she said, "You can return to the Connecting Sky Black Pillar first."

"But the hostages must be exchanged simultaneously."

Jiang Fan thought for a while, "No problem, but I hope Wu Gou Venerate can leave this place."

"She can rush into the Connecting Sky Black Pillar at any moment and kill me in an instant."

"With her around, it’s hard for me to feel secure."

Princess Zi Jiang stared at Jiang Fan, snorted, "You’re even more cunning than the craftiest prey in the Heavenly Realm!"

Jiang Fan shrugged, "If you weren’t cautious, how could you capture a princess like you?"

The two reached an understanding, Jiang Fan decisively loosened the mirror a bit, allowing the princess’s voice to be heard outside.

"Open up the Connecting Sky Black Pillar, let him in first."

What?

Five-star Giant King’s expression changed, "Princess, what if he..."

Princess Zi Jiang raised her hand to stop him, "Don’t worry, Xingyuan Venerable is still in your hands."

Hearing this, Five-star Giant King reluctantly waved his hand, letting the giants open the entrance.

Jiang Fan cautiously retreated to the entrance of the Connecting Sky Black Pillar.

Pushing most of his body inside.

Only his shoulders and above were exposed, ready to withdraw through the space passage at any sign of trouble.

"Now can we exchange hostages?" Princess Zi Jiang asked.

Jiang Fan stared at Wu Gou Venerate.

Her expression remained composed, her eyes calm, showing no panic, not worried about Jiang Fan escaping.

So, her thoughts were clear.

Once hostages were exchanged, she would rush down to execute Jiang Fan.

"Let Wu Gou Venerate leave!"

Princess Zi Jiang’s expression changed, having the courage to let Jiang Fan return to the Connecting Sky Black Pillar inside.

Firstly, Xingyuan Venerable remained in their hands.

Secondly, with Wu Gou Venerate around, any mishap and she could chase into the Connecting Sky Black Pillar.

Now letting her leave, how is that possible?

Surprisingly, Wu Gou Venerate pondered, "Fine!"

"I’ll leave first!"

"But, Wang Chongxiao, if you dare harm our princess, even if you flee into the Connecting Sky Black Pillar, I’ll chase you back to Central Earth and take your life!"

Jiang Fan secretly rejoiced, "Move further away so you don’t hide out of my sight."

Wu Gou Venerate indifferently said, "Don’t worry, I never lie."

From Xingyuan Venerable, he retrieved a red Wish Paper, "By the power of ’Words and Laws Follow,’ I shall leave this place by eighty thousand miles."

"Now, can you feel at ease?"

Jiang Fan’s eyes lit up, "Alright! Leave now!"

Wu Gou Venerate shot Jiang Fan a look, handed Xingyuan Venerable over to Five-star Giant King, and activated the Wish Paper.

Instantly, her already aged body aged further.

She actually sacrificed her life force to activate the Wish Paper.

"Off I go by eighty thousand miles!"

Whoosh!

In an instant, she disappeared into thin air.

Jiang Fan sensed her aura vanish from the world, feeling slightly reassured.

The biggest threat was gone.

He could proceed with the hostage exchange with peace of mind.

His eyes flickered as he retrieved half of a Tai Chi Yin Yang Fish-shaped Space Storage Device.

The very Yin Yang Fish Space Storage Device he acquired from Shu Bu Xu.

This storage device only had one function.

Which was to mutually swap positions.

Back then, Shu Bu Xu stole the corpse of the Divinity Transformation Demon Beast from Sanqing Mountain by storing it in the space of the Yang Fish.

Jiang Fan stayed outside holding the Yin Fish.

Upon activation, the Yang Fish appeared in Jiang Fan’s hand, the Yin Fish in Shu Bu Xu’s.

Thus, unobtrusively smuggling out the corpse of the Divinity Transformation Demon Beast.

Now...

He drew out the Yang Fish, placing Princess Zi Jiang inside.

"What are you doing?" Princess Zi Jiang asked guardedly.

Jiang Fan said, "You’re a Giant King adept with the Time Origin, I dare not let you slip from my control."

"What if during the exchange, you break free from the mirror and wield the Power of Time?"

"Wouldn’t I be in peril?"

Princess Zi Jiang grit her teeth.

This sly devil—how is he so cunning?

She had indeed contemplated that once Jiang Fan tossed the mirror, she’d instruct the Five-star Giant King to shatter it from afar.

Upon breaking free, capturing Jiang Fan would be a cinch.

But Jiang Fan’s caution left her frustrated.

"Bear with it, there’s little air inside the Space Storage Device; you’ll feel uncomfortable briefly."

"It’ll be over soon."

Saying this, under Princess Zi Jiang’s fierce gaze, he threw the mirror into the Yang Fish.

Then turned to the Five-star Giant King, "We’ll throw at the same time."

"No tricks!"

"Or else, may the Bloodthirsty Giant King’s sons be born without an anus, and may lightning strike me, Wang Chongxiao!"

Five-star Giant King’s eyes flashed, "Alright!"

"Get ready, on three we’ll toss!"

"One!"

"Two!"

"Three!"

Five-star Giant King tossed Xingyuan Venerable over, Jiang Fan threw the Yang Fish out too.

Whoosh!

Five-star Giant King’s eyes lit up, he surged forward and snatched the Yang Fish.

His hanging heart finally settled.
