Chapter 286: Chapter 286 Exchange Conference

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh–

The Heavenly Mountain Silk was indeed tough.

Many hard objects, when faced with the Purple Sword’s Sword Qi, would be sliced through.

The Heavenly Mountain Silk in front of him remained intact until the Purple Sword’s blade cut into it.

Then it finally snapped!

The gigantic net, taut to the point of breaking, suddenly unraveled when one thread snapped, causing all the silk threads to shoot around wildly.

Wherever the threads whipped past, everything was cut open!

Jiang Fan reacted quickly.

Seizing the moment the silk unraveled.

He leaped through a gap in the roof.

Yue Mingzhu was momentarily stunned.

For a moment, she couldn’t comprehend how her Heavenly Mountain Silk had been severed.

It wasn’t until Jiang Fan had slipped away that she sat up abruptly.

She wanted to chase after him.

But the snapping silk threads were extremely dangerous, bouncing recklessly around the hall!

She had no choice but to gather the silk before pursuing him.

When she jumped onto the rooftop and looked around.

Where was Jiang Fan?

With his movement technique, he could disappear in the blink of an eye, let alone with the time she’d wasted?

“Damn it!!!” Yue Mingzhu stomped her foot in anger.

In an instant, the entire rooftop caved in under her stomp!

She gritted her silver teeth, shouting: “Send the order, everyone in the sect, go out and search for him!”

“If you have to dig three feet into the ground, find him!”

This was no longer a matter of whether to take Jiang Fan as a disciple.

It was a matter of pride!

As the sect master, she personally acted and couldn’t keep Jiang Fan?

What a great humiliation!

Ji Ruyue, watching the raging sect master, shivered: “Junior Brother Jiang is unbelievable, right?”

“Even with the sect master acting personally, he still managed to escape?”

Even though she knew Jiang Fan was extraordinarily powerful, his ability to escape still shocked her.

Elder Ling was speechless.

This act of forcibly taking another’s disciple was against the Nine-Sect rules.

But she didn’t dare to argue.

The sect master was already furious.

If she uttered a word of disagreement, she feared she would be strung up and whipped by the sect master!

Soon.

The entire Desires Sect, from elders to disciples, each held a portrait, searching inside and outside the sect.

Little did they know.

At this moment, Jiang Fan had already sneaked down the cliff.

“Desires Sect Master! You better not fall into a tough situation someday, or I swear I’ll kick you while you’re down!”

Jiang Fan looked at his clothes torn by thorns and the Black Sword with a chipped edge.

He felt a pang of heartache.

The Black Sword had been with him for many days, and now it was ruined; he was beyond frustrated.

However.

His urgent task now was to leave the Desires Sect.

No, to leave the Desires Sect’s territory.

After passing through a patch of thorns, he saw the large dwellings at the base of the mountain.

This was the city at the foot of the Desires Sect.

Out of caution.

Jiang Fan changed into a new robe and wrapped up the Purple Sword again.

Finally, he put on the No.1 Shadow Guard mask once more.

He blended into the city as if nothing had happened.

He noticed that the city was full of Desires Sect disciples, holding his portrait, asking around.

“They are searching the whole city?”

Jiang Fan clicked his tongue: “Is that necessary?”

He didn’t dare linger here for a moment, nor did he dare to contact Yi Lianxing, Qin Caihe, or Chu Xingmeng.

He feared they were already under surveillance.

If he contacted them, he would be immediately discovered.

“Senior Brother Tang, about the exchange meeting, I think I shouldn’t go?”

“The participants are all elite disciples from various sects.”

“How am I qualified to attend?”

Huh?

As Jiang Fan walked through the crowd, he suddenly heard a familiar voice.

Turning his head, he saw a man and a woman walking side by side.

The speaker was a woman with a delicate appearance, her green dress emphasizing her graceful figure.

With each step, a fragrant medicinal scent wafted through the air.

She was none other than Su Qiuning, a disciple from Medicine Peak of the Green Cloud Sect.

And the man beside her was someone Jiang Fan knew very well.

It was Tang Tianlong, who was on a Level 2 mission at the Desires Sect.

“Junior Sister Su, don’t worry, with me around, who would dare speak ill of you?”

Though Tang Tianlong’s arm hadn’t fully healed, his cultivation realm was clear.

Among the elite disciples attending, no one would provoke him without reason.

Su Qiuning still felt uneasy, saying, “Senior Brother Tang, it’s better not to go.”

“I don’t have anything valuable to exchange.”

“I don’t want to embarrass Senior Brother Tang.”

She felt somewhat helpless.

She had recently arrived at the Desires Sect after completing a Level 3 mission.

Upon hearing this, Tang Tianlong had eagerly invited her.

Besides appreciating her medicine refining skills, she subtly sensed that Tang Tianlong frequently stole glances at her chest and other sensitive areas.

This made her extremely uncomfortable.

She had been avoiding him.

Today, while out buying some medicinal herbs, Tang Tianlong had found her and insistently invited her to the exchange meeting for elite disciples.

“Junior Sister Su, why so discourteous?”

Tang Tianlong said sternly: “I’m doing this out of camaraderie, to look after you.”

“You repeatedly refuse, do you look down on me?”

Su Qiuning quickly waved her hand: “No, no, that’s not what I meant.”

Tang Tianlong said: “Then, you will attend tonight’s exchange meeting?”

At this point, refusal would mean outright severance.

Far from the sect, alone, how could Su Qiuning dare?

She could only acquiesce: “Alright, see you tonight then.”

Tang Tianlong watched her walk away, a smile forming on his lips:

“In the sect, you have Elder Wen protecting you.”

“But outside the sect, you can’t escape my grasp?”

“Tonight, I’ll have you!”

A woman like her, with looks and a skill in medicine refining, was an invaluable asset to someone close to the frontline!

But he didn’t notice at all.

The cold glint in Jiang Fan’s eyes as he walked in front of him.

“A dog can’t change its habit of eating filth!”

“Even after losing an arm, he hasn’t learned a single lesson.”

Initially planning to leave, Jiang Fan couldn’t help but book an inn and wait until nightfall.

Wen Hongyao had always treated him well.

Now, seeing a disciple so far from home being harassed, how could he turn a blind eye?

And, looking at the chipped Black Sword in his hand.

He also wanted to try his luck at the exchange meeting.

See if he could find a suitable replacement.

Not long after.

Night fell.

Jiang Fan snuck onto the main street, noticing Desires Sect members still patrolling around.

He was speechless.

“They are really persistent.”

With a flash of insight, he headed towards Desires Sect.

As he approached the mountain gate.

Just as he expected, most of the Desires Sect’s forces were in the city.

The sect was nearly empty.

Even the guards at the mountain gate were gone.

The carriages were only watched over by their owners.

Jiang Fan, under the cover of night, carefully leapt onto a carriage containing a Silver Winged Thunderbird claw.

Chu Xingmeng, Qin Caihe, and Yi Lianxing were sleeping inside the carriage.

It seemed they were waiting for Jiang Fan’s return.

Jiang Fan sighed silently.

They would likely have to part here.

Thinking for a moment, he took out three small jade bottles, each containing a Revitalizing Pill.

He placed one in front of each of the three women.

Their journey together had ended.

Taking the claw quietly, Jiang Fan vanished into the darkness.

Slipping away silently.

At Taibai Building.

Jiang Fan, carrying the long claw wrapped in cloth, ascended to the second floor.

The wrapped claw appeared mysterious.

As he reached the second floor, he drew frequent glances.

Combined with his masked face and wide robe, his identity was inscrutable.

The elite disciples from various sects in the building showed varying degrees of wariness.

Su Qiuning and Tang Tianlong had already arrived.

They, like the other disciples, had formed a circle, sitting on the floor.

Su Qiuning was very uneasy.

Seeing the intimidating Jiang Fan, she couldn’t help but feel anxious.

What made her even more nervous was that Jiang Fan was walking straight towards her.
