Chapter 678: Chapter 678: Pleading

Even though she remembered Jiang Fan’s appearance vividly.

His brows, eyes, mouth, nose, figure, and looks–she could depict them all without a single mistake.

Yet, at this moment.

She didn’t dare to be sure.

Or rather.

She feared that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

Jiang Fan is dead.

This is the consensus of the Green Cloud Sect, the Nine-Sect, and even the entire Human Clan.

Even if the heavens were to split open.

The Demon Race would not have spared his life.

However.

Jiang Fan appeared in front, lively and full of life.

How could she dare to believe?

Chen Taishang Elder was stunned for a moment and said, “Jiang Fan?”

Then, understanding something, his gaze slightly dimmed, and he comforted:

“Sister, look forward.”

“Don’t torment yourself anymore.”

“Jiang Fan… is gone.”

The other Supreme Elders also showed expressions of sympathy.

Jiang Fan’s death was a huge blow to the entire Green Cloud Sect.

Recently, Qin Wangchuan had visibly been in a decline.

Silent and alone all day.

Often absent-minded.

Sometimes at night, her faint sobs could be heard.

To cause such distress to someone who has lived through countless partings and nearly reached a hundred years old.

Shows exactly how deep the blow was.

Now suddenly claiming to have seen Jiang Fan.

It’s most likely an illusion.

He Jiu Zhang sneered with a mocking tone: “So Jiang Fan is still alive?”

“Then your Green Cloud Sect ancestors are really something.”

“Able to protect him even like this.”

“Let me confirm for you if it’s Jiang Fan.”

He sneered as he looked toward the figure Qin Wangchuan pointed at.

It was fine not looking.

But one look and He Jiu Zhang’s soul nearly fled.

He exclaimed in shock: “Jiang Fan?”

“How is that possible!!!”

Eh?

Several Supreme Elders were stunned.

Another one gone mad?

They looked curiously toward where Qin Wangchuan pointed.

At that sight, they all looked as if they had seen a ghost.

Terror-stricken!

“Jiang Fan?”

“It’s really Jiang Fan!”

“My god, am I seeing ghosts in daylight?”

“How could he possibly still be alive?”

Qin Wangchuan trembled with excitement.

Unable to hold back laughter:

“Jiang Fan isn’t dead!”

“He isn’t dead!!!”

“Hahaha!”

A tear flowed amidst her laughter.

The last time she cried tears of joy.

Was a long, long time ago.

After so many years, a heart as still as dead water surged warmly again.

Conversely.

He Jiu Zhang’s face was as dark as water.

This one isn’t dead!

It makes no sense!

Are all of the Demon Race possessed by Bodhisattvas?

Allowing this wretch to live until now!

Seeing Qin Wangchuan’s delight only added to his displeasure, he said:

“What are you so happy about?”

“Didn’t you see the chains on him?”

“There are two Demon Kings guarding beside as well.”

“Even if the King of Heaven came, no one could save him.”

Qin Wangchuan’s smile abruptly disappeared.

Yet her face still showed thick joy, hastily bowing to the Supreme Elders, saying:

“Dear fellow cultivators!”

“I, Qin Wangchuan, have never begged anyone.”

“But today, shamelessly, I beg for your help to save Jiang Fan!”

“Regardless of success or failure, I owe you all a great favor.”

“Any place you ever need help, through fire and water, I will go for you!”

Her prideful nature.

For Jiang Fan, she was willing to humble herself and beg.

The present supreme elders were moved.

But looking at Concubine Yunxia and Sea Charm Demon King, they had to remain calm.

“Supreme Elder Qin.”

“An existence at the Demon King level isn’t something we can contend with.”

“Let alone two?”

“Killing us wouldn’t be harder than crushing an ant for them.”

The gap between Ninth Layer Perfection and Ninth Layer is like day and night.

Back when Fang Taiji slaughtered the Human Clan elders, it was effortless?

Facing these two Demon Kings, it wouldn’t be much different?

Qin Wangchuan bit her lip.

Suddenly knelt on the ground, kowtowed, saying: “I know I’m asking for difficulties for you.”

“But, I will use my life to stall them.”

“I only ask that you take Jiang Fan away!”

“I, this old bag of bones, die as I might, one less in the Green Cloud Sect won’t make much difference.”

“Yet losing Jiang Fan, would be an eternal regret.”

The Supreme Elders were shocked and helped her up.

To go this far for a disciple.

Weighing the pros and cons.

Finally, a Supreme Elder relented.

“Alright! If we don’t directly face the Demon Kings, I can try to take Jiang Fan away.”

“But I can’t guarantee success!”

“However, Supreme Elder He must join too.”

“No matter how much you stall, it’s impossible to handle both Demon Kings.”

“He must deal with at least one Demon King.”

Asking He Jiu Zhang?

Qin Wangchuan pressed her lips together.

Even knowing He Jiu Zhang wouldn’t agree.

She still chose to lower herself and try to ask.

“Supreme Elder He, previously I offended you many times, please do not hold a grudge against a petty person.”

“I implore you to overlook past wrongs and lend me a hand.”

The Supreme Elders were deeply moved.

Qin Wangchuan would not even want to lose an argument normally.

For Jiang Fan, she bowed to someone who wronged her.

He Jiu Zhang smirked insincerely:

“You want me to save Jiang Fan?”

“Sure!”

“Kneel down and kowtow to me first.”

What…

Qin Wangchuan’s pupils trembled.

A great humiliation surged to her heart.

But, after merely a moment of thought.

She slightly bit her lip.

Amidst the startled exclamations of the Supreme Elders present.

She bent her knees and knelt in front of He Jiu Zhang.

Bowed heavily, saying: “Supreme Elder He.”

“Please help me!”

He Jiu Zhang felt immense satisfaction!

This old woman finally knelt before him.

Hahaha!

He grinned cruelly, just about to teasingly reject her.

But after a thought.

This isn’t enough!

He wanted to kill Jiang Fan in front of Qin Wangchuan.

Crush her completely!

If she wanted to save Jiang Fan?

Fine!

Then he would pretend to save him and then fiercely kill that wretch Jiang Fan!

He believed both Demon Kings would not obstruct him in killing Jiang Fan, the sworn enemy of their race.

With this thought.

He smiled and helped Qin Wangchuan up, saying: “Alright then!”

“Since Supreme Elder Qin has humbled herself so much.”

“If I, He Jiu Zhang, don’t agree, it would upset the Heavens.”

“Fine, I will stall one Demon King.”

“The rest is up to you guys!”

Qin Wangchuan was ecstatic.

She never imagined He Jiu Zhang would agree.

“Let’s make our move!”

“Since we’ve discovered them, they surely can discover us too.”

“No need to hide!”

On the other side.

Concubine Yunxia and the Sea Charm Demon King slowed their pace.

Frowning slightly as they looked toward Ji Jiangfan.

“Seems to be your Human Clan.”

“Anyone you recognize?”

Concubine Yunxia’s eyes showed a faint chill.

She had no fondness for the Human Clan.

Except Jiang Fan was an exception.

For those daring to trespass the Tiger Demon Emperor Mansion from the Human Clan.

If they weren’t someone Jiang Fan knew, she wouldn’t mind leaving them here forever.

Jiang Fan was a bit surprised.

Where did the Human Clan come from, so bold to venture into the northernmost lands of the Demon Race?

Could they be from the Outer Realm Divine Sect?

However.

When both sides got closer.

Seeing the silhouette of a small girl amongst them.

He couldn’t help but be surprised.

“Chuanchuan?”
