Supreme Emptiness

"Sect Master Liu? You’re not joking, are you?"

"Such an outstanding disciple, are you sure you want to give him to me?"

Gong Caiyi suppressed her excitement and cautiously probed.

"Outstanding?"

Sect Master Liu sighed bitterly: "Sect Master Gong, are you mocking me?"

"You jest. I have accepted a disciple with no Spirit Root."

In his heart, Jiang Fan was the most embarrassing disciple of Sect Master Peak, and he was the greatest source of his shame.

However, Gong Caiyi’s beautiful eyes sparkled with surprise and delight.

Even Yuan Zhiyu covered her red lips, secretly clicking her tongue.

Did Liu Wuchen not know just how exceptionally talented Jiang Fan was?

Jiang Fan felt awkward.

He cupped his hands and said: "Master, Sect Master Gong."

"Regarding the transfer of disciples, shouldn’t you first ask the disciple’s opinion?"

His wives were all in the Green Cloud Sect.

How could he easily abandon them and become the Young Sect Leader of the Spirit Beast Sect?

A cunning gleam flashed in Gong Caiyi’s eyes: "Didn’t you just agree?"

"How can you go back on your word?"

Jiang Fan was stunned: "When did the disciple agree?"

Gong Caiyi leisurely replied: "Earlier, I asked you how you felt about me."

"You said very well."

"So I took it as your consent."

"Alright, there’s nothing for you to do next. Don’t interfere with the discussion between your master and me."

She hesitated for a couple of seconds and then reluctantly took out a jade gourd decorated with intricate patterns.

It was filled with unknown blood.

It boiled continuously like flames.

Seeing this, Liu Wuchen jumped up in shock: "Demon Emperor’s Blood!"

"Sect Master Gong, are you serious?"

There once appeared a powerful Tiger Demon on the continent that led a horde of demons.

Its cultivation reached the Demon Emperor Realm, allowing it to transform into a human form.

It was a legendary Transformed Demon Beast.

It suddenly died later, and its corpse was divided among four continental-level experts. @@novelbin@@

Because of some connection with one of those experts, Gong Caiyi was rewarded with some Demon Emperor’s Blood.

"Demon Emperor’s Blood is not only the top-grade material for refining feeds for Demon Beasts, but also a holy object for Body Refinement."

"Over the years, the Giant Sect has begged you to sell them some, but you never did."

"Now you want to exchange it for Jiang Fan?"

Gong Caiyi’s expression was serious, showing no signs of jesting.

She pushed the entire bottle of Demon Emperor’s Blood in front of Liu Wuchen and said, "I don’t want Sect Master Liu to feel shortchanged in the future."

"Take it."

After all, they were allies.

She didn’t want to overcharge and wanted to use a bottle of Demon Emperor’s Blood to silence Sect Master Liu.

One day, when he discovered Jiang Fan’s prowess, he would be too embarrassed to regret it.

How could Liu Wuchen disagree?

This way, he could rid himself of the thorn in his side and

legitimately distance Jiang Fan from the Green Cloud Sect to prevent any loose tongues about his secret engagement with his daughter.

And he could still gain a priceless bottle of Demon Emperor’s Blood.

It was a win-win!

"Good, good!" He excitedly reached out to grab the Demon Emperor’s Blood.

Just then, Liu Qingxian, who had been in seclusion for several days, suddenly barged in.

She stopped Liu Wuchen and furrowed her brow: "You’re going to give Jiang Fan to the Spirit Beast Sect?"

"Just for a bottle of Demon Emperor’s Blood?"

Jiang Fan had the Infinite Spirit Root!

The legendary Infinite Spirit Root!

Not even ten Demon Emperors could compare to him.

Let alone a bottle of Demon Emperor’s Blood?

Watching her father being swayed so easily by a mere bottle of Demon Emperor’s Blood, she was exasperated.

Gong Caiyi spoke warmly, "Miss Liu, isn’t a bottle of Demon Emperor’s Blood too little for someone with no Spirit Root like Jiang Fan?"

Liu Qingxian stared at the seemingly gentle and beautiful Spirit Beast Sect Master, her heart anxious:

"Could it be that this woman has discovered that Jiang Fan has the Infinite Spirit Root?"

"Is that why she’s willing to spend a bottle of Demon Emperor’s Blood?"

She composed herself and spoke with a deeper meaning: "Sect Master Gong, you know what Jiang Fan is capable of, and so do I."

"If you want to exchange him for a bottle of Demon Emperor’s Blood, I won’t agree to it!"

Gong Caiyi’s face stiffened for a moment.

Her heart skipped a beat: "Could this girl also know of Jiang Fan’s abilities?"

"Right, they are quite close. It’s natural she’d be so familiar with him!"

"Why did she have to show up now?"

Liu Wuchen was taken aback by Liu Qingxian’s attitude.

He reprimanded: "Qingxian, don’t be rude! How can you speak to Sect Master Gong like that?"

Liu Qingxian glared at him angrily: "Father! Have you forgotten that I have an agreement with Cao Zhen that requires Jiang Fan to fulfil?"

"Do you want to see your daughter bullied by the Great Elder’s disciple?"

Liu Wuchen slapped his forehead.

Only then did he remember this matter.

Since it involved his daughter, his disciple, and the rivalry with Reincarnation Peak, he couldn’t take it lightly.

"Sect Master Gong, we’ll discuss the transfer of disciples later."

"Let’s wait until the Ancestor Worship Ceremony is over to discuss it."

Gong Caiyi, however, didn’t want to miss the opportunity to strike while the iron was hot.

She looked at Liu Qingxian with a smile: "Miss Liu, how about a bet?"

"If Jiang Fan loses, he will belong to my Spirit Beast Sect."

Liu Qingxian looked hostile: "And if he wins?"

Gong Caiyi smiled faintly: "You’re close to Core Formation, right? You’ve long desired the Earth Dragon Crystal Core of my Spirit Beast Sect, haven’t you?"

"If Jiang Fan wins, I’ll make an exception and allow you to take one from my Spirit Beast Sect."

Earth Dragon Crystal Core?

Liu Wuchen was shocked: "Sect Master Gong, you can’t! That’s a priceless treasure, only available to Spirit Beast Sect’s Core Formation disciples."

"It doesn’t matter!"

Gong Caiyi looked at Liu Qingxian with a smile: "Miss Liu, do you dare to bet?"

Liu Qingxian stared at Gong Caiyi.

She knew the other was trying to lure her into a trap, but it was an Earth Dragon Crystal Core!

A miraculous item that could increase the probability of Martial Artists reaching Core Formation, something unattainable in the outside world.

More importantly, she sensed a hint of challenge from Gong Caiyi.

Even if it wasn’t for the Earth Dragon Crystal Core, she couldn’t lose the upper hand. She said, "I’ll bet!"

Gong Caiyi nodded with satisfaction: "Good, the stake is Jiang Fan."

"Tomorrow, we’ll decide the outcome with a duel!"

Liu Qingxian replied: "It’s a deal!"

The two women exchanged glances.

There were sparks in the air.

In a side hall.

Kong Wushuang asked: "Uncle, aren’t we giving up on that Heaven and Earth Exotic Beast? Isn’t it a pity?"

Kong Yuanba, hands behind his back, laughed: "I rushed to the Green Cloud Sect not worried about not getting it."

"I was worried that the Green Cloud Sect or the Spirit Beast Sect might get it."

"Now that no one can get it, I’m relieved."

If any sect obtained the Little Spiritual Beast, it would become a threat.

If no one had it, it was fair.

Kong Wushuang slightly nodded: "Then why don’t we leave? Why stay at the Green Cloud Sect?"

Kong Yuanba smiled faintly: "Since we’re here, don’t you want to see the Green Cloud Sect’s new talents appreciate the prowess of our Giant Sect’s prodigies?"

Upon hearing this, Kong Wushuang thought of Jiang Fan.

Her gaze turned sharp: "Right, I almost forgot about that kid!"

"A mere Outer Sect disciple dares to cultivate Body Techniques!"

"Tomorrow, I’ll show him what real Body Techniques are!"
