Chapter 2246: Chapter 2290: Prime Minister
Veins throbbed on Jiang Fan’s forehead. He raised his hand and summoned his Black Sword, enlarging it to a hundred lengths to block in front of him.
Liang Feiyan hastily skidded to a halt a hundred lengths away.
"BOOHOO, Brother Jiang, we’ve grown distant," he said aggrievedly.
Jiang Fan rolled his eyes. "Cut the crap. Where are the others? Are they buried underground?"
When they first arrived in Nanqian, there had been four of them.
Liang Feiyan finally snapped back to his senses and hastily replied, "Ren Guhong and Wang Chongling were taken away by Inferior Sage Qingtian!"
What?
Jiang Fan was taken aback. Inferior Sage Qingtian?
He had actually fled to Nanqian?
Given the maliciousness of the Inferior Sage’s Cultivation Method, it was unimaginable what fate awaited the two of them after falling into his hands.
"Where are they?" Jiang Fan asked urgently.
Liang Feiyan was equally anxious. "I’m not sure, but Inferior Sage Qingtian was able to freely take people away from the sanatorium."
Jiang Fan’s expression darkened.
If that was the case, were Inferior Sage Qingtian and Feng Lingxiao colluding with each other? To find out where Inferior Sage Qingtian was, he would have to get the information from Feng Lingxiao!
Furthermore, Liang Feiyan’s Moon Realm fragment must have also fallen into Feng Lingxiao’s hands, right?
Hmph!
This guy had repeatedly tried to kill him, captured his people, and even stolen his Moon Realm fragment! Since he was now in Nanqian, it was time to settle the score with him!
Pausing for a moment, Jiang Fan frowned. "What about Chuyue? Where is she?"
Liang Feiyan’s expression turned odd. "Her... I don’t even know how to describe it.
"Not long after the four of us entered Nanqian, we encountered an expert of the Heavenly Person Four Declines from the Feng family. He recognized that we weren’t from this world and wanted to capture us.
"The three of us had no power to fight back and were all captured.
"But Chuyue... she managed to escape successfully."
Huh?
Jiang Fan’s frown deepened. "Are you sure she escaped?"
He didn’t have a deep impression of Chuyue. Her cultivation should only be at the Demon Emperor Realm, far inferior to Liang Feiyan and the others. How could she escape from the grasp of someone at the Heavenly Person Four Declines?
Liang Feiyan was also completely baffled. "When we were thrown into the underground Artifact Refining Base, that expert of the Heavenly Person Four Declines reported to the manager.
"He explicitly stated that he had lost track of a woman."
Jiang Fan was secretly astonished.
What heaven-defying means did Chuyue possess to be able to escape with her life from an expert of the Heavenly Person Four Declines?
When Jiang Fan was still at her realm, he had barely survived facing the Heavenly Person Decline. Facing the Heavenly Person Four Declines was like facing the wrath of heaven itself.
Could it be that Chuyue, just like Wang Chongxiao, also possessed heaven-defying karmic luck?
After a moment of thought, he shook his head. Now was not the time to worry about this; finding Ren Guhong and Wang Chongling was the priority.
His gaze swept toward the direction where Feng Lingxiao had left. "Let’s go!"
He immediately clamped his legs and rode the Big Black Dog, galloping away.
Shortly after, in the central area of Tiandu, before a massive expanse of Void.
Countless experts had gathered all around, filled with shock and uncertainty. Jiang Fan looked down, equally alarmed. Gazing carefully, his pupils contracted as he discovered a sealed, giant purple stone within the pitch-black Void. Wrapped around the surface of the stone was a massive golden silk scroll, exuding a mighty Divine Power.
He was no stranger to this object! There was one just like it in the Soul Refining Hall! A Daqian Divine Kingdom Holy Decree! And it was a Holy Decree stamped with the Imperial Jade Seal!
His heart suddenly pounded. Could it be that the giant purple stone was also... the body of a deity? Was the terrifying power from earlier the might of a deity?
"Everyone, step back."
Just as Jiang Fan curiously wanted to investigate, an ethereal and aged voice echoed between heaven and earth. The voice contained an indescribable sense of oppression.
The several experts of the Three Calamities Realm present all revealed respectful expressions and bowed one after another. Those in the One Calamity Realm and Two Calamities Realm looked even more terrified, scattering in all directions, not daring to linger for even a moment.
Even the Big Black Dog had a fearful look on its face. "This old fogy was alarmed too!" it muttered.
The Bone Struggle Sage asked with reverence, "Prime Minister, what happened here?"
Huh?
Jiang Fan’s eyes narrowed slightly. Prime Minister Situ Mie?
Wasn’t he the person the mysterious man in the Martial Vault had entrusted Jiang Fan to hand the black Jade Box over to? To think this person’s status was so high! He couldn’t help but become cautious!
The mysterious man entrusting Jiang Fan to deliver the black Jade Box inherently had some ulterior motive. With the other party’s cultivation being so high, he needed to be all the more prudent.
"A few fish that slipped through the net from the Martial Vault."
What?
The Bone Struggle Sage’s expression sank. "They have a lot of nerve, daring to invade our Nanqian Holy Land! We will go apprehend them immediately!"
"There’s no need. It’s just a diversionary tactic," the Prime Minister’s voice replied. "Just guard the Heavenly Prison well."
The Bone Struggle Sage’s expression changed. They only just realized that the true target of those Great Sages from the Martial Vault was still their four companions.
"Let’s go! Quickly, to the Heavenly Prison!"
The several Great Sages present rapidly vanished into the void and left.
Jiang Fan’s eyes flickered, and he lowered his voice. "Dead dog, let’s go, quickly!"
That Prime Minister was unfathomably deep; it was best not to get near him.
The Big Black Dog was also quite intimidated by the Prime Minister. Kicking off with all four legs, it hastily ran away. However, the afterimage it transformed into suddenly froze in midair, as if locked in place by something.
The Prime Minister’s voice arrived immediately after. "Where are you going? Why aren’t you returning to the palace?"
Then, an irresistible, mighty power swept over them. The Big Black Dog, along with Jiang Fan, Qing Jiu, and Liang Feiyan, were all swept away.
Jiang Fan was secretly awe-struck. It was one thing for that Prime Minister to sweep away the Big Black Dog, but why did he bring them into the Nanqian Imperial Palace as well?
Before he could figure it out, his feet touched solid ground.
Without a second thought, he summoned eighteen black Array Stones to protect his surroundings while gripping the Heart of Ten Thousand Earths in his hand. But to his surprise, the usually infallible Heart of Ten Thousand Earths actually failed to work! The black Array Stones orbiting around him also fell to the ground one after another. It was as if an invisible, mighty force was suppressing the Magic Artifacts.
His heart chilled, and he quickly surveyed his surroundings. He found himself standing before a high flight of stairs, at the end of which was a resplendent palace. Above them, a black Array shrouded the palace. Its presence was what rendered the Magic Artifacts ineffective.
No, it wasn’t just Magic Artifacts!
To his shock and bewilderment, Jiang Fan discovered that he had also lost control over the Divinity Transformation Power within his body. Even the Holy Power flowing through him had completely vanished. His Physical Power was largely suppressed as well.
However, his Void Flow Power seemed completely unaffected.
The Big Black Dog noticed it too. Looking around, it barked in anger, "The Forbidden Saint Palace?
"Old fogy, you dare lock me up here? When my master returns, you’ll be in a world of trouble!"
But the Prime Minister gave no further response.
Jiang Fan asked in a deep voice, "What is this Forbidden Saint Palace?"
The Big Black Dog spun in circles anxiously. "It’s an independent space for imprisoning people, originating from the Daqian Divine Kingdom.
"It’s a special place meant exclusively to lock up Saints awaiting trial!"
Imprisoning Saints?
Jiang Fan’s heart jolted. No wonder the Prime Minister had swept them up too; it turned out he wanted to imprison them all together.
However, wasn’t the Prime Minister thinking too highly of them? Did small fries like them really warrant being locked up in a place like this?
He looked up at the black Array overhead, his eyes narrowing. "Big Black Dog, is the Prime Minister still there?"
"He left ages ago!" the Big Black Dog replied absentmindedly.
Jiang Fan nodded, a faint wisp of Void Flow Power condensing in his palm.
