195: Feigning death to escape

Ji Yao arrived at Cangqiong Ancient City.

Would Yunfan return here?

She knew there was nowhere Jiang Yunfan hadn't been, and this was his only place of refuge.

A moment later, she returned to the residence, activating the Barrier to enter.

Someone was secretly observing, but Ji Yao didn't notice.

"Yunfan hasn't returned."

Just as she was disappointed and about to leave, a voice reached her ear, "Yaoer."

Ji Yao's delicate body trembled. As she turned around, Jiang Yunfan appeared before her. "Yunfan."

Ji Yao, abandoning her usual composure, directly threw herself into Jiang Yunfan's embrace, holding him tightly. Jiang Yunfan also hugged her, feeling a sense of peace as he smelled her body fragrance.

"Yaoer, I've missed you so much."

After a moment of tenderness, Ji Yao broke free from Jiang Yunfan's embrace. "Yunfan, did you go to the Phoenix Clan to find me? And you killed Feng Yang."

Jiang Yunfan said, "I did go to the Phoenix Clan to find you. Unexpectedly, the person who came to see me was that Feng Yang. He provoked me and said the Phoenix Clan was going to marry you to him. So, I decided to kill him. I deliberately lured him out of the Primordial Divine Mountain and killed him."

"The Phoenix Clan must be searching for me everywhere, right?"

Ji Yao said, "You were too reckless. Feng Yang holds a very high position in the Phoenix Clan. By killing him, you have completely offended the Phoenix Clan. The Clan Chief has already dispatched a large number of powerful experts to find you."

Jiang Yunfan said, "Don't worry, I possess the Seventy-Two Transformations Divine Ability. No one can find me."

He transmitted a message to Ji Yao, "You're being followed by someone from the Phoenix Clan."

"Hurry and leave. I'll hold him off."

"No need. This is just one of my Clones. My true self is still in the Tianji Pavilion, the shop I bought two years ago. This Clone's death will be a perfect feigned death to escape. You go first."

"Alright."

Ji Yao left the residence alone.

The person in the shadows, seeing Ji Yao leave, immediately struck, shattering the Barrier with a palm and intruding into the residence.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass into a private residence?"

"You killed my Phoenix Clan's Saint. I am here to kill you."

Feng Tianjiao attacked Jiang Yunfan with a palm. Jiang Yunfan tried to block, but was sent flying by the blow.

Jiang Yunfan immediately fled.

"You can't escape."

Feng Tianjiao pursued him.

Jiang Yunfan fled ten thousand miles away before being intercepted by Feng Tianjiao. Feng Tianjiao released Nirvana Divine Fire, forming a Barrier to trap Jiang Yunfan.

"You have no wings to escape."

Feng Tianjiao didn't immediately attack, staring coldly at Jiang Yunfan. "With your strength, you couldn't possibly have killed my Phoenix Clan's Saint. Tell me, who killed my clan's Saint?"

Jiang Yunfan said, "Indeed, with my strength, I couldn't kill him. I used a seventh-grade Formation to kill him. Unfortunately, the formation diagram was destroyed by the Saint's Clone on him. Otherwise, you would surely die."

So that's how it was.

It's a good thing the formation diagram was destroyed, otherwise I would have definitely died this time.

A seventh-grade Formation. Even a Saint would find it difficult to break, let alone her.

Having learned the cause of Feng Yang's death, Feng Tianjiao stopped wasting words with Jiang Yunfan. "Then go to your death!"

She manipulated the Nirvana Divine Fire to incinerate Jiang Yunfan.

Jiang Yunfan punched out, resisting the Nirvana Divine Fire.

Feng Tianjiao controlled the Nirvana Divine Fire to burn Jiang Yunfan from all directions. Jiang Yunfan couldn't dodge and could only protect himself with magical power. Soon, he couldn't hold on and was instantly engulfed by the Nirvana Divine Fire.

Ah!

Jiang Yunfan screamed. His body turned into ashes under the burning of the Nirvana Divine Fire.

From beginning to end, Feng Tianjiao never realized that the Jiang Yunfan she killed was merely a Clone.

Jiang Yunfan had cultivated the Creation Scripture for two years in seclusion. Although he had only grasped a superficial understanding, he controlled a trace of Creation Power, capable of turning decay into wonder. This Clone was created by him using the Creation Scripture and the Seventy-Two Transformations Divine Ability. It had flesh and blood. Let alone Feng Tianjiao, even a Saint wouldn't be able to see through it.

Feng Tianjiao left.

Tianji Pavilion.

As soon as the Clone died, Jiang Yunfan sensed it. A smile played on his lips. With the Clone taking his place, as long as he didn't expose himself, the Phoenix Clan wouldn't trouble him.

The combination of the Creation Scripture and the Seventy-Two Transformations Divine Ability was perfect.

He should spend more time comprehending the Creation Scripture in the future. Once he understood it more deeply, he should be able to create a Physical Body for his Master, so his Master wouldn't have to Cultivate as a Loose Cultivator anymore.

"No business. Can't waste time here."

Jiang Yunfan pulled out a strand of hair and used the Seventy-Two Transformations Divine Ability to turn it into a Clone. He then forced out a drop of blood and used the Creation Scripture to create flesh and blood. The Clone transformed into a living, breathing Clone, a perfect replica of another Jiang Yunfan.

With the Clone guarding the Tianji Pavilion and his true self hidden in the shadows, even if someone wanted to harm him, they wouldn't be able to.

Jiang Yunfan left the Tianji Pavilion. He returned to his residence to Cultivate in seclusion, earning Spirit Stones and Cultivating simultaneously... Creation Holy Land.

Su Han came to the Creation Divine Temple to meet the Holy Master.

"Disciple Su Han greets the Holy Master."

"What do you seek from me?"

The Creation Holy Master was awe-inspiring without anger, his body shrouded in a misty aura, his true Face completely obscured, appearing exceptionally sacred.

Su Han said, "Holy Master, your Disciple met an old man in Cangqiong Ancient City. This man is also named Heavenly Secret Master and opened a Tianji Pavilion. This man is also skilled in divination, and he divined the whereabouts of the Grotto-Heaven."

A flicker of surprise flashed in the Creation Holy Master's eyes. Someone could actually divine the whereabouts of the Grotto-Heaven, and this person was also called Heavenly Secret Master. "The Grotto-Heaven is concealed by the Heavenly Dao. Even the Sect Master of Tianji Sect cannot divine its whereabouts. Could this person's Cultivation Level be higher than Heavenly Secret Master's?"

"This person only has a Cultivation Level at the Early Stage of Nirvana Realm."

"Nirvana Realm."

The Creation Holy Master said, "This person is a swindler. You, a dignified Saint of the Creation Holy Land, are so foolish as to be deceived by this person. Tell me! How many Spirit Stones were you cheated out of?"

Su Han quickly said, "Saint, I wasn't cheated out of Spirit Stones. This Heavenly Secret Master said that to know the whereabouts of the Grotto-Heaven, I would need to give him two hundred billion Spirit Stones, and he also said that the Holy Master would agree."

The Creation Holy Master had initially thought Su Han was deceived, but he didn't expect this Heavenly Secret Master to demand two hundred billion Spirit Stones. If he were just a swindler, he would never dare to make such an exorbitant demand.

"Since he dares to demand two hundred billion Spirit Stones, it seems this Grotto-Heaven is real. I will give you two hundred billion Spirit Stones. Go and see Heavenly Secret Master."

"Yes, Holy Master."

Su Han thought to himself, Heavenly Secret Master, if you dare to deceive me, you will die a miserable death.

The Creation Holy Master also had his calculations. If that Heavenly Secret Master could truly divine the whereabouts of the Grotto-Heaven, then his attainments in divination would be far above that of the Sect Master of Tianji Sect. Perhaps he could help him find the creation green lotus fragment... Cangqiong Ancient City, Wu Family Elder Wu Que arrived at the Tianji Pavilion.

"Heavenly Secret Master, I heard you are skilled in divination. My Wu Family Young Lord was assassinated two years ago, and we have never found the killer. I'm here for you to divine the murderer of my Wu Family Young Lord."

"One divination costs ten million Spirit Stones."

"If you want Spirit Stones, you'll have to show me your abilities."

"The rule here is to pay the Spirit Stones first, then the divination."

Wu Que didn't expect this old fellow to be so unyielding, showing no Face to the Wu Family at all.

Wu Que could only pay the Spirit Stones first.

"I've given you the Spirit Stones. If you can't divine the murderer of my Wu Family Young Lord, I will smash your signboard, and even your life will be at risk."

"Since I dare to open the Tianji Pavilion, I'm not afraid of people smashing my signboard."

Jiang Yunfans Clone immediately transmitted a message to his true self.

The true self received the message.

"The murderer, I am the murderer."

This ten million Spirit Stones was easily earned.

Jiang Yunfan transmitted a message to his Clone, telling the Clone to expose himself.

Jiang Yunfans Clone said, "I have already divined it. Your Wu Family Young Lord, Wu Lingfeng, was killed by someone named Jiang Yunfan. This person is the Di Zi of the Big Dipper who has been causing a stir recently. Wu Lingfeng offended him and was killed by him."

Wu Que said coldly, "Impossible. My Young Lord was killed in the Wu Family. The Di Zi of the Big Dipper doesn't have the ability to sneak into my Wu Family and kill someone silently."

Jiang Yunfans Clone said, "He indeed doesn't have that ability, but he has the Archaic Emperor Butterfly, one of the Ten Great Archaic Strange Beasts, by his side. The Archaic Emperor Butterfly controls the power of space. Your Wu Family's Barrier is like nothing in front of the Archaic Emperor Butterfly."

"The Archaic Emperor Butterfly infiltrated the Wu Family and killed him, without anyone knowing."

So it was the Archaic Emperor Butterfly. No wonder Wu Lingfeng could be killed without anyone knowing.

Wu Que said, "Tell me Jiang Yunfan's whereabouts."

You want my whereabouts? I'm right in front of you.

Jiang Yunfans Clone said, "That's a separate price."

This guy actually dared to ask for more Spirit Stones.

A cold glint flashed in Wu Que's eyes, but he dared not act rashly. Although he didn't know what connection this person had with the Tianji Sect, this person was also called Heavenly Secret Master and had such high attainments in divination. It was no coincidence; he must be related to that Heavenly Secret Master of the Tianji Sect.

"I'll give you the Spirit Stones."
