Chapter 1798: Chapter 1837: Game of Wits

As far as the eye can see, the strong warriors of Central Earth and the Asura Clan are racing against time to converge towards the front.

The Asura Clan does not attack the Central Earth warriors, so the Central Earth warriors are not bothered to create trouble either.

The two sides have a tacit understanding not to attack each other, even when they collide in the air, they just nod politely and head towards their respective target points.

This strange scene caused Jiang Fan to pause slightly.

Not long ago, they were fighting to the death as enemy armies!

"What happened within the Asura Clan?"

"Moreover, they are gathering here, could it be that they have seen through our true purpose in Central Earth and plan to ambush us at Hell’s root?"

Their true target is known only to the Great Venerate, the secret leaking out so quickly is quite unexpected.

Could it be a high-level figure has emerged from the Asura Nine Divisions?

With these doubts, he followed the crowd towards the deep location of Hell’s root.

The center of Hell’s root is a basin that becomes more sunken towards the center.

When reaching the deepest part, this enormous basin is embedded with dense red craters, like a bee’s nest, making one’s scalp tingle.

They are erupting one after another with magma reaching hundreds of yards high, turning the heavens and earth crimson red, with waves of scorching wind raging in all directions, making people feel suffocated.

And amidst countless volcanoes, at the center of the basin, a magma lake spanning a thousand miles has existed for ten thousand years.

On the magma lake, the armies from both sides are rapidly converging.

The Central Earth army has gathered four thousand people.

Whereas the Asura Clan army has gathered a full seven thousand.

Besides the one thousand defeated at the beginning of the battle, and five hundred slain during the skirmish by Jiang Fan and others.

The remaining over eight thousand of the Asura army, nearly seven thousand have assembled.

It is evident that nearly all the remaining Asura army has been gathered.

Jiang Fan looked up and saw behind the Asura Clan army, there was actually a sunken abyss!

All the magma was flowing into the abyss.

For ten thousand years, the abyss has not been filled, how deep is it inside?

"Jiang Fan." Jinlin Venerate and others seeing Jiang Fan arriving safely, breathed a sigh of relief.

The withered leaf is protected by Jiang Fan, if anything happened to him, their trip would have been in vain.

Jiang Fan nodded to them, took out the Hell Map on the spot, and compared the point circled by the Ancient Saint on it.

Finally, he looked at the abyss before him, squinting his eyes: "That’s the center of Hell’s root which we are looking for!"

Jinlin Venerate nodded: "Unfortunately we arrived a step late, the Asura Clan got there first and surrounded the abyss."

"If we want to break through, we need to pierce through their army first."

Jiang Fan looked over, seven thousand troops sealed the skies above the abyss in all directions, with multiple layers.

Right above the abyss, there is a floating camp with several Great Venerates guarding the front.

For him to charge in alone, would be like striking a stone with an egg.

Spark in his eyes, Jiang Fan turned around to the Central Earth army, asking: "Where is Green Pearl?"

Green Pearl holds the Yin Marrow Talisman, and with it, the Asura Clan army can be intimidated.

Jinlin Venerate’s face sank slightly: "Green Pearl has already been captured by them, and the Yin Marrow Talisman has fallen into their hands."

What?

Jiang Fan’s face changed, Green Pearl betrayed the Asura Clan for her.

Falling into the hands of the Asura Clan, what fate awaits her?

"Who captured her?"

Ice Heart Venerate replied embarrassedly: "That female Asura named Red Sleeves."

"We suffered a defeat against her once."

Her?

Jiang Fan’s pupils shrank, a deep apprehension surged in his heart.

Before attacking the Hell Realm, he was worried about facing Red Sleeves.

This female is not only incredibly strong, but also insightful and thoughtful, a formidable enemy if crossed.

Unexpectedly, the worry came true!

Moreover, she captured Green Pearl!

Undoubtedly, her plan to capture Green Pearl was not a sudden whim but premeditated.

Given the spiritual connection between Green Pearl and her.

Green Pearl’s safety affects her own fate.

The only relief is that since Red Sleeves captured Green Pearl, she won’t let her suffer any harm.

Jiang Fan sighed in relief, asking: "What are the plans of the Great Venerates?"

Jinlin Venerate looked at the Asura Clan army, nearly double their numbers, saying: "Continue to wait."

"Wait until our Central Earth army fully gathers, then forcibly charge into the abyss."

Jiang Fan nodded slightly, that is the safest method.

When the sides are evenly matched, he can sneak into the abyss in the chaos to place the withered leaf inside.

Beep-beep—

Suddenly, the Moon Realm in his arms sounded.

Jiang Fan took it out and saw that Red Sleeves was contacting him through the Moon Realm!

"Glasses: We’ve been friends, don’t want to become enemies, lead the Central Earth people back quickly, I assure you won’t be blocked."

Jiang Fan replied coldly.

"Pick a good name: Return Green Pearl to me, and we’ll remain friends."

"Red Sleeves: No chance, don’t waste your breath, leave immediately or you won’t depart Central Earth."

"West Palace: Don’t threaten us!"

"Pick a good name: Latest intelligence, the Hell Realm has gained advantage, soon they’ll be free, and then you’ll face encirclement, possibly even a Sage free to deal with you."

Jiang Fan’s face turned serious.

Has the situation in the Hell Realm reversed?

The Central Earth army can’t hold long in the Hell Realm, falling into a prolonged battle and encirclement means demise.

Moreover, if a Sage is free to act, it spells disaster.

They don’t have time to wait for the Central Earth’s full army gathering.

But battling with lopsided forces would be a dead end.

Spark in his eyes, Jiang Fan asked: "Who is their commander?"

Jinlin Venerate spoke solemnly: "No need to ask, it’s definitely Red Sleeves."

"She knows the talents of the Asura Nine Divisions well, adept at arranging troops, and with the Tiger Talisman Yin Marrow."

"It’s only her who could be stationed centrally."

Jiang Fan rubbed his temple, if Red Sleeves is the commander, it’s nearly impossible to succeed with a raid.

Moreover, he feels Red Sleeves informs him of the Hell Realm situation to create tension.

One reason is to retreat Jiang Fan.

Secondly, if Jiang Fan refuses to yield, making him act recklessly, Red Sleeves could anticipate and prepare for his next moves.

Thinking of this, Jiang Fan tightened his grip on the Moon Realm: "Want to play with me?"

"Alright! Let’s do this!"

"Let’s see whose skills prevail between us, the enemies!"

In the Asura Army Camp.

Red Sleeves stood before a Crystal Table, above which a projection of the entire Central Earth army unfolded.

She watched Jiang Fan’s movements, a slight curve forming at her lips: "It seems you’re planning to take action."

"Are the restrictions above the abyss set?"

A Five Crown King bowed and said: "Ready, if anyone trespasses, they will be sealed by invisible restrictions, even a Great Venerate can’t escape."

Red Sleeves asked again: "Are the Heavenly Eye Asura Clan members in place?"

"Yes, any invisibility will immediately be seen through."

Red Sleeves nodded lightly: "Knowing the urgent military situation, Jiang Fan will surely attempt to breach the defenses and enter the abyss quickly."

"Thus his next target and actions are easy to predict."

"Of course, he might not use invisibility, perhaps he’ll impersonate an Asura Clan member to infiltrate."

The Five Crown King again bowed, saying: "As per your instructions, the Fragrance-eating Asura clan has been arranged, any outsider will be detected immediately."

Red Sleeves placed her fingers on the Crystal Table, contemplating various possibilities.

Finally, her eyes turned and fell upon Green Pearl in the corner.

"It’s also possible that Jiang Fan’s goal will be you!"
