Chapter 233: Chapter 233 The Hidden Strength of Black Lotus

At this moment, Jiang Fan was as innocent as he could be.

He sat at home, and yet trouble came from the skies.

He sighed helplessly and said, “I am not lying.”

“I am executing a third-level mission. How can it be compared to Senior Sister’s second-level mission?”

Third level?

Zhang Xuemou was stunned.

The female disciples behind her also showed incredulous expressions.

“Ah? The person praised by the master to the heavens should at least be on a second-level mission or even a first-level mission, right?”

“Could it be that we were right? The master just likes his handsome appearance?”

“I can’t believe that such a talented person in the master’s words only received a third-level mission.”

Zhang Xuemou, who originally wanted to compare herself with Jiang Fan, was dumbfounded.

It took her a while to snap out of it and look Jiang Fan up and down in astonishment.

She couldn’t understand either and muttered, “I really don’t know what the master sees in you.”

Since the Green Cloud Sect arranged a third-level mission for Jiang Fan, it naturally considered his limited strength.

Indirectly, it indicated that he was not outstanding.

And the Green Cloud Sect must understand its own disciples better than the master does, right?

She highly doubted whether Gong Caiyi had a huge misunderstanding about Jiang Fan.

Thinking of this.

Her desire to compete disappeared, and she said without interest, “It is said that beneath a famous name, there are no weak fighters.”

“Now it seems, that is not necessarily true.”

“Fine, you go and execute your third-level mission. Farewell!”

She patted the spirit beast’s head and urged the team along the mountain path into the mountain range.

Jiang Fan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Immediately, he noticed that they were escorting a group of demon wolf spirit beasts prepared for frontline battles.

He couldn’t help but feel a sudden realization.

He recalled what Black Lotus said earlier.

She seemed somewhat surprised when she met Jiang Fan and his group.

So, this meant that the target of their ambush wasn’t Jiang Fan and his group.

Upon seeing the extremely precious demon wolf spirit beasts, he suddenly understood.

Black Lotus was waiting for the Spirit Beast Sect’s escort team.

Jiang Fan and his group were just unlucky to stumble into the ambush.

“Senior Sister, wait!”

Jiang Fan hurriedly called out to her: “Have you ensured the secrecy of your mission?”

Zhang Xuemou reined in her spirit beast and turned her head, looking at Jiang Fan vigilantly: “What do you mean?”

Jiang Fan said solemnly, “When we passed through this mountain range, we encountered a bandit named Black Lotus who is stationed at the intersection of the two sects.”

“They are ambushing the other side of the mountain on a vital route.”

“I think their target might be the demon wolves you are escorting.”

These demon wolves had all been tamed.

Not only could they follow human commands, but they also possessed very formidable combat strength.

If the Black Lotus bandits seized them, their strength would increase substantially.

Black Lotus?

The Spirit Beast Sect disciples had naturally heard of the bandits nearby.

They immediately became uneasy.

“The leader of the Black Lotus is a martial artist of the Foundation Establishment Realm Ninth Layer, who was once a disciple of the Supreme Sect and learned many Supreme Sect’s secret techniques, making her very powerful.”

“Moreover, she has four protectors at the Foundation Establishment Realm Seventh Layer under her command.”

“Only Senior Sister Zhang can put up a fight. We will be like lambs to the slaughter if we encounter them.”

…

“Silence!” Zhang Xuemou shouted and stared at Jiang Fan:

“Junior Brother Jiang, are you sure you didn’t see it wrong?”

If there were an ambush by Black Lotus in the forest, she would consider taking a detour.

Otherwise, she couldn’t withstand these bandits alone.

Chu Xingmeng felt a bit sorry for Jiang Fan.

She targeted him as soon as they met, as if he owed the Spirit Beast Sect something.

She bowed immediately and said, “Senior Sister Zhang, not only has our Senior Brother Jiang seen the Black Lotus bandits,”

“He also killed all the bandits except for the leader.”

What?

The female disciples of the Spirit Beast Sect behind her were all dumbfounded on the spot.

Jiang Fan, by himself?

Zhang Xuemou also took a moment to digest this unbelievable news.

The Black Lotus bandits came and went without a trace and were incredibly powerful, despite several attempts, the Spirit Beast Sect failed to eliminate them.

Now, to say Jiang Fan, alone, had wiped out all the Black Lotus bandits except for the leader

Was that possible?

Even for her, it was absolutely impossible.

With a hint of mockery, she said, “The female disciples of the Supreme Sect have also started helping others lie?”

“Such a surprise!”

“Let’s go!”

Clearly, she believed Jiang Fan had been slightly provoked by her words.

He was deliberately lying to scare her.

The rest of the female disciples were also highly skeptical.

So they followed Zhang Xuemou without further thought as they stepped onto the mountain path.

Jiang Fan opened his mouth.

Qin Caihe, beside him, felt it was unfair for Jiang Fan, and said, “Junior Brother Jiang, you have done all you can.”

“If they want to court death, let them.”

“Let’s just complete our own mission.”

If it were someone else being treated so rudely, she would be eager to see the other party in trouble.

But Jiang Fan kindly reminded them, and they still thought he was deceiving them.

It was like searching for death by lighting a lamp in the toilet at midnight.

Jiang Fan knew he couldn’t persuade them, so he couldn’t be bothered, and immediately rode away.

Zhang Xuemou listened to Qin Caihe’s words, her face sank, and she snorted:

“The female disciples of the Myriad Swords Sect are not good either!”

“Both of them act like they have eaten bewitching elixirs, helping Jiang Fan to save face.”

“If there are Black Lotus bandits in this mountain, I’ll stand on my head…”

Before she finished her sentence.

She suddenly shivered, her pupils contracting intensely!

Before her on the mountain path.

A woman garbed in tight leather, her face full of murderous intent, was running with a blood-soaked young man in tow.

Zhang Xuemou did not recognize the young man.

But she had seen the woman’s portrait many times.

It was the leader of the Black Lotus bandits, who was jointly wanted by the Spirit Beast Sect and the Supreme Sect!

Black Lotus!

She gasped.

She hurriedly drew her long sword and shouted as she faced the fearsome Black Lotus: “Black Lotus! How dare you!”

“You even dare to rob the Spirit Beast Sect’s goods?”

But Black Lotus completely ignored her.

As soon as she saw Jiang Fan’s beast carriage not far away, she exuded immense killing intent.

She threw Lu Xinghe harshly at Zhang Xuemou immediately.

Then she swiftly chased after Jiang Fan.

Zhang Xuemou hurriedly caught the thrown Lu Xinghe but felt an enormous force that she couldn’t bear.

She was smashed to the ground, sprawled in all directions.

Her face showed a look of horror: “Core Formation Realm!”

“Black Lotus… has already broken through to the Core Formation Realm!”

The world thought of her as being in the Foundation Establishment Realm Ninth Layer.

But in reality, she had long broken through the shackles of the Foundation Establishment Realm and reached the Core Formation Realm!

Only now, in her fury, did she expose her hidden cultivation!

Jiang Fan also sensed the killing intent approaching rapidly.

He immediately jumped off the horse and held his sword, looking back.

He saw Black Lotus rushing towards him with killing intention.

“Who killed my brothers?”

“Have him come out!”

“Keep hiding, and I’ll kill all three of you!!!”

Looking at the irrational, demon-like Black Lotus, Qin Caihe and Chu Xingmeng shivered in fear.

She caught up so quickly?

And she was in the Core Formation Realm!

Black Lotus’s eyes bypassed Jiang Fan and the two women, landing on the three tightly covered carriages.

She shouted, “Come out! The one who killed my people, afraid to show yourself?”

Jiang Fan flourished his sword gracefully.

He said indifferently, “Is it possible,”

“That I killed all your brothers?”
