Chapter 2269: Chapter 2315: All Parties on the Move
The Northern Heavenly State, the Southern Heavenly Realm, the Hell Realm, and Central Earth were all equally alarmed.
In the Northern Heavenly State.
Atop a mountain peak swept by a gentle breeze, a young girl in a blue dress stood gazing in the direction of Central Earth, silent and still.
SWISH!
A figure with golden wings flickered into existence beside her.
"Chaoge, the East Emperor summons you."
The newcomer was none other than Yun Wanxiao. His physical body had been shattered by the Young Emperor, leaving only his soul to flee back. Yet now, he had unexpectedly cultivated his way back to the Great Angel Realm.
Xia Chaoge’s eyes remained completely placid as she continued to gaze toward Central Earth.
Yun Wanxiao stared at her profile, a flash of regret and resentment crossing his eyes. When he noticed the direction of her gaze, his resentment deepened. "Stop looking. He won’t come looking for you."
Xia Chaoge’s gaze rippled slightly. She shook her head. "I don’t want him to come."
With a light tap of her toes, she prepared to take to the skies. Right at that moment, the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis’s decree rumbled through the air, echoing across the entire Northern Heavenly State.
Xia Chaoge, who had remained expressionless all this time, suddenly changed her countenance. "Martial Uncle is in grave danger!"
A momentary hesitation flashed through her eyes before she departed using Instantaneous Movement.
"Where are you going?" Yun Wanxiao asked in astonishment.
Xia Chaoge’s voice echoed from the sky. "To beg the East Emperor!"
Yun Wanxiao reached out a hand, but ultimately retracted it in helplessness. Gritting his teeth, he glared beyond the heavens. "Jiang Fan! If Chaoge suffers because of you... I will destroy you!"
In the Hell Realm.
In Fengdu.
Xu Youran sat beneath the Bodhi Tree, watching with a quiet smile as the one-horned Little Young Master chased after a butterfly.
"Sister, sister, help me catch it!" the Little Young Master shouted from afar after several failed attempts.
The Fengdu Domain Lord walked over and lightly tapped the Little Young Master’s nose. "Don’t be naughty. Your sister can’t fool around with you anymore."
She turned her head, her gaze landing on Xu Youran’s belly. The once-flat abdomen was already showing a visible bump.
Xu Youran stood up and gently caressed her belly, her face radiating pure bliss. "It’s fine. It’s been four months; the pregnancy is stable now."
The Fengdu Domain Lord said, "Let me escort you back to Central Earth so you can share the good news with Jiang Fan.
"This will be his second child."
Xu Youran’s face was indescribably soft, like a tiny spring flower blooming quietly in a forgotten corner. "There’s no need. He is the Champion Marquis now; the responsibilities he shoulders are far greater.
"Let’s give him a surprise once he has some free time..."
As she spoke, the atmosphere above the Hell Realm began to roil. The Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis’s command arrived with a deafening rumble.
The smile vanished from her face. She looked down at the unborn child in her womb, her eyes dimming. She wondered if Jiang Fan would ever be able to see his own child.
The Fengdu Domain Lord furrowed her brow deeply. "The last time the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis issued a decree to the myriad heavens, it was to eradicate an ancient monster from eons past.
"To think he would use it on Jiang Fan... It seems he is truly serious this time!
"Stay here in the Fengdu Domain. I will invite the Buddha Lord to make a trip!"
In the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion of Central Earth.
Fairy Yun Shang, dressed entirely in white, sat at a stone table playing chess with Gong Caiyi.
"Check," Fairy Yun Shang said, pushing a piece forward.
Gong Caiyi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. "I’m not playing anymore. I’ve lost ninety-nine games in a row, and you absolutely refuse to let me win even once."
Fairy Yun Shang smiled faintly. "I’m not playing with you; I’m providing prenatal education for Little Jiang Fan."
Cradling her increasingly prominent belly, Gong Caiyi’s eyes were full of amusement. "His fetal development was protected by a Little Heaven Pill-level Dragon and Phoenix Divine Gallbladder. He’ll definitely be very smart in the future!"
Fairy Yun Shang gazed at her belly with an indescribable complexity in her eyes, then raised her head to look beyond the heavens. "I never expected Jiang to be gone for three whole months."
It was her first time being separated from Jiang Fan for such a prolonged period.
Gong Caiyi also expressed her concern. "I wonder if he’ll be able to make it back before the child is born."
Right at that moment, heaven and earth rumbled. The Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis’s freezing command echoed throughout Central Earth.
The chess piece in Fairy Yun Shang’s hand suddenly slipped from her grasp. Gong Caiyi was also left staring blankly in shock.
At the exact same time, across the nine Great States of Central Earth, nine powerful surges of Sage fluctuations erupted. The world barrier was simultaneously torn open, revealing nine massive rifts!
One day later.
A massive paper crane soared through the Void. The Big Black Dog, completely devoid of his usual laziness, sat solemnly beside Jiang Fan. Together, they stared into the pitch-black Void.
"Old man, how much longer can the paper crane hold out?" the Big Black Dog asked.
The Heavenly Mechanism Elder gazed ahead and said gravely, "Half a day at most.
"However, there is a world ahead named Hengsha. I have some ties of friendship with one of the Sages there."
The Big Black Dog’s eyes grew heavy. If this world was willing to help them, they might still have a glimmer of hope. But if they refused... they would only have half a day left to live.
RIIIP!
A short while later, a world engulfed in swirling yellow sands appeared before their eyes.
Repeating his previous trick, the Heavenly Mechanism Elder steered the paper crane right up to the world’s edge.
Sensing the presence of external powerhouses, the Hengsha Realm’s world barrier parted. A One Calamity Realm Sage cast his gaze through the rift. When his eyes swept over the Heavenly Mechanism Elder, his expression shifted slightly. "Heavenly Mechanism?"
The man flashed out from the rift. He was an elderly Sage, just as advanced in years.
Joy lit up the Heavenly Mechanism Elder’s face. "Xifeng, it’s been a long time."
The Xifeng Sage let out a hearty laugh. "You old rascal, what brings you all the way to our Hengsha Realm?"
The Heavenly Mechanism Elder hesitated for a moment before saying, "Xifeng, I need some Power of Laws. I was hoping the Hengsha Realm could do me a favor."
The smile that had just adorned Xifeng’s face instantly froze. He took a step back, his gaze landing on Jiang Fan. "The man behind you," he asked warily, "don’t tell me that’s Jiang Fan?"
The Heavenly Mechanism Elder remained silent. He didn’t want to lie, and silence was an answer in itself.
The Xifeng Sage drew in a sharp breath of cold air. "He’s the one the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis is hunting down?
"You old fool, do you have a death wish? Do I even need to tell you what kind of person the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis is?
"If you get involved with Jiang Fan, he will undoubtedly kill you!"
The Heavenly Mechanism Elder sighed. "He cannot die.
"Old friend, can’t you help us just this once?"
The Xifeng Sage replied categorically, "I can help you personally, but what about my Hengsha Realm?
"Over the past ten thousand years, has he slaughtered any shortage of worlds?
"For the sake of our many years of friendship, I won’t stand in your way, but I cannot help you, either.
"Leave immediately. If the other Sages of the Hengsha Realm come out, I can’t guarantee they won’t try to kill you just to curry favor with the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis!"
With those words, he retreated back into the rift.
The Heavenly Mechanism Elder let out a long sigh and looked helplessly at Jiang Fan.
Jiang Fan remained completely expressionless. "Let’s go. On to the next world."
Since this was the Heavenly Mechanism Elder’s friend, he was even less willing to implicate them.
Fortunately, another world was not too far away. It was only a day’s journey. The paper crane could still fly for half a day, and inside his Life Space Pocket, there were still two One Calamity Realm Sages. They could barely manage to arrive before the Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis caught up to them.
The Heavenly Mechanism Elder nodded. Not daring to delay, he steered the paper crane and sped off.
Half a day later.
The Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis aggressively arrived before the Hengsha Realm.
A Three Calamities Realm Sage of the Hengsha Realm hurriedly rushed out, his heart pounding in terror. "Chaotic Ancient Blood Marquis, we have not assisted Jiang Fan in any way! Please, perceive the truth!"
