Chapter 424: Chapter 424: Mysterious Abyss Chapter 424: Chapter 424: Mysterious Abyss No wonder he asked such a question.

Jiang Fan’s recent performance had utterly shattered their expectations!

Defeating Wang Chengjian effortlessly was already astonishing.

But how did he dispel the fearsome icy wind with just a casual wave of his hand?

And now, he claimed to have slain the Blood Flood Dragon?

Liu Qingxian was also somewhat perplexed.

She felt that after not seeing Jiang Fan for more than a month, he seemed like a completely different person.

His strength was now entirely beyond her comprehension.

After a moment of contemplation, she finally said: “Since Fan has told us to go up, it should be safe.”

“There’s no doubt about that.”

Suddenly.

She noticed a gaze fixed upon her.

She turned her head and saw a pretty girl, around eighteen years old, who looked both charming and lively.

Liu Qingxian asked in surprise: “Are you a friend of Jiang Fan?”

Yue Mingzhu stared deeply at her, her eyes filled with an unfathomable meaning: “No wonder Jiang Fan traveled such a long way to save some ‘senior sister’.

“So it turns out he was rescuing the most beautiful female disciple of the Nine-Sect.”

Detecting a hint of hostility in the words.

Liu Qingxian frowned slightly: “Who are you?”

Yue Mingzhu withdrew her gaze, looked up at the sky, and sighed deeply: “Someone who envies you.”

Saying this, she followed after Jiang Fan.

The Sea Charm, after pondering for a moment, also followed closely.

She glanced sideways at Yue Mingzhu, gloatingly saying: “Feeling bitter, aren’t you?”

“For the one you risked your life to protect, he saved his beloved instead.”

She still remembered her grudge against Yue Mingzhu.

Taking every chance to strike mercilessly.

Yue Mingzhu, however, remained calm, saying indifferently: “What do you demons understand about feelings?”

“When you love someone, you don’t care if it’s worth it or not.”

“I envy her because…”

“She can express her feelings aloud.”

“While I… can never reveal mine.”

Putting aside her age, she was still the Desires Sect Master.

The gap between them was so vast that even someone who sought freedom as she did found it insurmountable.

The Sea Charm scoffed: “Who would have thought the Desires Sect Master, who toys with emotions, would have true feelings.”

Yue Mingzhu was not angered.

Instead, she scrutinized her with a faint smile.

“I heard that when your mermaid clan falls in love with a human, their fish tails turn into human legs.”

“From then on, they become no different from human women.”

“I look forward to the day you become a human woman.”

The Sea Charm covered her mouth, laughing nonstop: “Are you saying I’ll fall in love with Jiang Fan?”

Suddenly, she turned serious: “That day will never come!”

“Apart from my hatred for being enslaved by him, my personal cultivation over hundreds of years has long shielded my heart from worldly emotions.”

“Besides, he is a human!”

Yue Mingzhu laughed.

Her beautiful eyes curved into a pair of crescents:
“I bet.”

“You will definitely fall in love with him!”

“Let’s wait and see!”

The Sea Charm snorted angrily.

How could I possibly fall in love with a human?

It’s impossible!

Not long after.

The two caught up with Jiang Fan.

He stood on an ice pillar, looking down at the abyss below, his expression somewhat solemn.

Yue Mingzhu hurried over, her eyes showing traces of shock.

“Such a marvel deep within the glacier?”

What they saw.

Beneath their feet was a circular abyss, unfathomably deep.

As if it led straight into the underground depths.

Countless icy winds mixed with poisonous cold air flew up from it.

After just staying for a moment, Yue Mingzhu and the Sea Dragon felt they could barely withstand the piercing cold poison, their bodies gradually freezing over.

Although Jiang Fan had the Poison Pill protecting him, after a prolonged duration, he also found it hard to bear.

“You don’t really intend to explore down there, do you?” Yue Mingzhu asked, discouraged.

Jiang Fan shook his head: “Of course not.”

“Observing the direction of these icy winds, they seem to primarily head towards the Northern Territory.”

Hmm?

The Sea Dragon’s bewitching eyes widened in surprise: “You mean that the source of the Northern Territory’s ice and snow… is this abyss?”

She found it hard to believe.

Yue Mingzhu also thought Jiang Fan’s speculation was somewhat far-fetched and asked: “How can you tell?”

Jiang Fan replied: “Without having seen the terror of the Sky-Burning Clam Pearl, I too would find it hard to believe that such an object with a temperature comparable to the sun could exist in the world.”

“And this icy abyss not far from the Sky-Burning Clam Pearl has a similarly extreme yin object. Why is that impossible?”

Hiss!

The two women thought deeply.

They indeed found it highly plausible!

It’s possible that at the bottom of this abyss, there was also a similar palace.

Harboring a great terror akin to the Sky-Burning Clam Pearl.

Realizing this, the two women decisively moved away from the abyss, not daring to get close.

Jiang Fan also felt a shiver down his spine and left decisively.

He didn’t want to encounter anything like the Sky-Burning Clam Pearl again.

Back on the surface.

Liu Qingxian and the others were all waiting beside Bai.

Jiang Fan glanced at the Sea Charm.

The latter shrank her neck: “Do you have any instructions for me, my lord?”

Jiang Fan pondered: “Taking you back to the Human Clan would bring more trouble than benefits. Besides, your life and death might not be up to me.”

“So, return to the Demon Race.”

“When I need you, I’ll find you.”

The Sea Charm felt greatly relieved.

She had been worried about this issue for a while.

As a War General of the Demon Emperor, if she were taken back as a captive, the Human Clan’s higher-ups might imprison or execute her.

Jiang Fan was only a minor disciple.

He had no influence over the decisions of those powerful beings.

Hearing Jiang Fan’s concern for her safety made her feel a bit grateful.

“Also.”

Jiang Fan took out a piece of clam meat and threw it to her: “Take this with you.”

The Sea Charm was surprised: “But I haven’t earned any merits.”

Wasn’t it said that no merit, no rewards?

Jiang Fan said: “We humans have a custom of giving parting gifts.”

“Get used to it.”

“Go!”

The Sea Charm held the clam meat, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

She harbored resentment for Jiang Fan enslaving her.

But it was hard not to be moved by his kindness.

It seemed he did not see her as a slave.

But rather treated her like a friend, giving her a parting gift.

“Jiang Fan… Putting aside our positions, he’s actually not bad.”

“As for my resentment over being enslaved… it was mainly the fault of the Desires Sect Master.”

“Yes, if I have to blame someone, blame the Desires Sect Master!”

“This matter has little to do with Jiang Fan!”

Thinking this through, she graciously expressed her gratitude: “Thank you, my lord.”

“If you ever need the Sea Charm, just command.”

Jiang Fan nodded and waved.

The Sea Charm then merged with the ice and snow, disappearing in a series of flashes.

Yue Mingzhu saw this.

Covering her mouth, she laughed incessantly: “So much for cultivating for hundreds of years, saying worldly emotions can’t disturb you.”

“If you hadn’t left quickly, your fish tail would have been in jeopardy.”

“What are you laughing about?” Jiang Fan asked, utterly confused.

Yue Mingzhu scolded playfully: “Of course, I’m laughing at your good luck with women!”

“Wherever you go, exceptional beauties throw themselves at you!”

Just as she was about to continue with two more sarcastic remarks.

She suddenly sensed something, staring at the snowfield beneath them.

Jiang Fan followed closely, sensing something as well.

Looking down.

The ice shards beneath their feet began to tremble, and the disturbance grew more intense.

Yue Mingzhu raised her eyes towards the horizon.

Seeing a dark mass of Spirit Beasts charging towards them.

Their auras were powerful, either elders of various sects or sect masters.

There were even some Supreme Elders whose auras intermittently appeared.

“The Nascent Soul Jade Token’s attack indeed has a significant impact.”

“Even the strong ones in Sunset City sensed it.”

Suddenly.

Yue Mingzhu saw among them a burly and extremely imposing man.

Her expression changed slightly.

The Giant Sect Master?

Yue Mingzhu said in a low voice: “Jiang Fan, don’t speak later.”

“Leave everything to me!”

The Nascent Soul Jade Token had ultimately been exposed.

The one who used it could only be one of the people present.

Jiang Fan would be easily linked to it.

The big trouble he faced was unavoidable.
