Supreme Emptiness
Chapter 640: Decision

Dong dong dong ——

A knock on the stone door.

Jiang Fan quickly put away the memory silver sand and Netherworld poison.

He moved the Five Magnetic Yuan Mountain away and opened the door.

It was the Sea Charm Demon King and Ling Shu.

"Brother Jiang Fan, it’s time to depart."

Ling Shu had personally come to the Demon Emperor Court to greet Jiang Fan.

Showing how much she valued Jiang Fan.

Liu Li crossed her arms in front of her chest, staring angrily at Ling Shu.

This woman was too adept at handling things.

Which man could resist her?

"Sea Charm Demon King."

"Keep a close eye on Jiang Fan on the road."

"Don’t let him get eaten by some fox spirit."

Sea Charm covered her mouth and chuckled: "Alright, Master Liu Li."

Liu Li turned to Jiang Fan, angrily raising her pink fist, punching his chest:

"You better behave."

Jiang Fan was speechless.

This little spitfire.

Not likable at all.

Always either losing her temper or on the verge of it.

Now she even likes to use her hands.

However.

Jiang Fan immediately sensed something was off.

She didn’t really punch him but pressed something against his chest with her fist.

He looked down.

It was actually a bottle of azure Spiritual Liquid.

"What is this?"

Jiang Fan showed a look of confusion.

The Sea Charm Demon King immediately recognized it and exclaimed in surprise:

"Demon Emperor Essence?"

"Master Liu Li, do you know you’re giving it away, does the Demon Emperor know?"

Even Ling Shu was stunned.

Her face filled with disbelief.

Liu Li huffed: "As long as you don’t tell, my father wouldn’t know."

Jiang Fan was astonished: "Demon Emperor Essence?"

"What’s that?"

The Sea Charm Demon King showed a complicated expression, saying:

"Last time, Liu Li was almost killed in the heartland of the Human Clan."

"The Demon Emperor extracted a part of his essence."

"It’s something even more valuable than the Demon Emperor’s blood."

"After consuming it, you can survive a blow from a Nascent Soul expert."

Gasp!

Equivalent to a Nascent Soul-level defensive magical treasure?

Though it could only be used once, it was still astonishing!

Jiang Fan was greatly shocked and quickly returned it:

"Are you crazy?"

"Keep it yourself; such a precious thing, how can you give it away?"

Liu Li rolled her eyes at him and said:

"You’re my fiancé in name, aren’t you?"

"Giving you something to save your life, isn’t that right?"

This...

Jiang Fan looked at Liu Li, at a loss for words.

This woman, loud and not very likable.

But to be fair.

She wasn’t bad.

Sometimes, even quite simple.

Who would easily give away such a unique treasure?

"Thanks, hopefully, I won’t have to use it."

Jiang Fan accepted it and thanked her with a cupped fist.

Liu Li shyly looked elsewhere and huffed:

"Be careful out there."

"My father said the continent hasn’t been peaceful lately."

"That Ancient Giant has drawn people from the Outer Realm Divine Sect."

"They may not all be good people."

"Be careful."

Jiang Fan was solemn.

Oh?

People from the Outer Realm Divine Sect have come?

Having seen the Green Crane Master’s disciples, Jiang Fan naturally wouldn’t have blind goodwill toward the so-called Outer Realm Divine Sect.

Those three disciples, one was hypocritical and ruthless, another lecherous and sinister, and another brutish and seized magical treasures.

None of them had commendable character.

Therefore, toward other people from the Outer Realm Divine Sect.

Jiang Fan would naturally remain guarded.

No.

It would be better to stay as far away from them as possible.

Best to have no interaction at all.

"Thanks for your concern, I’ll be careful."

Jiang Fan smiled slightly.

This woman was truly tsundere.

Caring but had to pretend she didn’t.

"Who’s worried about you?"

"Narcissistic!"

"Not seeing you off then!"

Her face blushed with embarrassment as she lightly stomped her foot and slipped back into the chamber.

Jiang Fan smiled wryly.

Together with the Sea Charm Demon King and Ling Shu, he rode a Silver Winged Thunderbird into the sky.

As he left the Demon Emperor Court.

Jiang Fan felt something and looked back at the sky above the Demon Emperor Court.

A nondescript cloud, silently floating.

No need to say it.

The Demon Emperor was inside.

Watching him.

"Heh~"

"Farewell, Demon Emperor."

Jiang Fan thought to himself.

As the Silver Winged Thunderbird spread its wings into the clouds, disappearing at the edge of the Northland.

Half a day later.

Flying a thousand miles away.

Jiang Fan breathed a sigh of relief:

"The sea is vast for the fish to leap, the sky is high for the birds to fly."

"Finally, I’m out!"

Ling Shu sat beside him.

With a gentle smile: "Brother, you’re in such a good mood?"

Jiang Fan turned his head to look at her and said: "Really, thank you."

If she hadn’t requested, asking Jiang Fan to accompany her to the Northland.

How could he have left the Demon Emperor Court so easily?

Ling Shu folded her hands on her knees, her butterfly hairpin-adorned hair swaying gently in the breeze.

She looked at the chain on Jiang Fan’s hand.

Her eyes welled up with a hint of regret:

"I should have asked the Demon Emperor to unlock Brother’s chain."

Jiang Fan chuckled: "No need, I can unlock it myself."

Huh?

Ling Shu’s clear eyes showed a hint of confusion.

Then.

Under her gradually widening gaze.

Jiang Fan pulled a key from his hair and poked it into the chain’s lock hole.

Click——

The chain... unlocked!

Ling Shu blinked.

No way.

How did Jiang Fan have the key?

So this so-called Dragon Binding Chain, was it locking nothing?

And!

How dare Jiang Fan unlock it in front of the Sea Charm Demon King?

Even if he wanted to unlock it, shouldn’t he have done it secretly!

Otherwise, the Sea Charm Demon King would subdue her on the spot!

The next moment.

Her mind went blank.

"Sea Charm, my departure will bring trouble for you, won’t it?"

Jiang Fan flexed his wrists and ankles.

Turned his head and asked.

Sea Charm lowered her head, slightly shaking it: "It’s fine, Master, just go."

"Don’t worry about Sea Charm."

What?

Ling Shu was stunned.

What did she hear?

One of the Five Demon Kings of the Demon Race, actually called Jiang Fan... Master?

She felt her mind couldn’t handle it.

Completely couldn’t handle it!

A member of the Human Clan, Jiang Fan, was actually Sea Charm’s master!

Who would have thought?

Who could have thought?

Jiang Fan reached into his bosom and pulled out a small booklet he had written last night.

He flicked a finger and tossed it to Sea Charm.

"Take it."

Sea Charm caught it in surprise, opened it up, and was taken aback:

"’Brahma Saint True Spirit Technique’ Divine Image?"

"Master, why are you giving it to me?"

Jiang Fan said calmly: "Take it back as a handover to the Demon Emperor."

"If the Demon Emperor is in a good mood, he might barely spare you and your clan."

Ah?

Sea Charm said nervously, "Master, what are you talking about?"

Jiang Fan looked at her, saying:

"You’ve been silent all the way, your heart must be torn, right?"

"If I’m not wrong, yesterday the Demon Emperor must have instructed you, either bring me back or bring back my head, right?"

Sea Charm’s eyes widened in surprise.

After a moment, she smiled self-mockingly: "Thought I could hide it from Master."

Jiang Fan smiled faintly: "With the Demon Emperor’s pettiness, no need to guess?"

"I bet he’s still thinking about my ’Brahma Saint True Spirit Technique’ and the Divinity Transformation Relics qualification?"

Sea Charm said bitterly: "Nothing can be hidden from Master."

Jiang Fan looked deeply at Sea Charm and sighed:

"I can’t guarantee the incomplete volume of ’Brahma Saint True Spirit Technique’ will save you and your clan."

"After all, you let me go, which amounts to betraying him."

"And the Demon Emperor is incredibly suspicious, not one to tolerate betrayal."

"Why not come back to the Human Clan with me?"

Sea Charm said bitterly: "But what about my clan?"

Jiang Fan said little more.

Once Sea Charm left, her clan would be further implicated.

"Master, just go!"

"Don’t worry about Sea Charm."

Jiang Fan hesitated.

It would be easy for him to leave, but it would surely spell doom for Sea Charm and her family!

"Master! Sea Charm doesn’t blame you!"

"You spared my life once, granted me Spiritual Meat and bloodline talent, that was a tremendous favor."

"Sea Charm should repay with her life!"

Sea Charm said, then sharply looked at Ling Shu:

"Master, rest assured."

"I’ll take care of your problems, ensuring no one reports to the Demon Emperor within ten days!"

Ah?

Ling Shu’s heart raced.

Having stumbled upon such a huge secret of Jiang Fan’s, would Sea Charm let her live?

Jiang Fan showed a hint of reluctance.

Saying: "No need to kill her."

"I’ll take her back to the Human Clan."

After all, Ling Shu was innocent.

The only ones he was indebted to were Sea Charm and her unknown family.

He looked at Sea Charm deeply.

He was about to say something.

Suddenly, a warm, calm voice suddenly interjected.

"Honored guests."

"Might I ask, which way is the Demon Emperor Court?"

Jiang Fan was stunned!

Someone had approached him, unnoticed?

It was one thing for him not to notice.

But for Sea Charm, a top-level demon beast, to also be completely unaware?
