Useless trash

"Could I have been exposed?"

If he hadn't been exposed, why would the Three Saints Sect send Elders and even set up a Formation to monitor the place?

But on second thought, Jiang Wang felt this didn't make sense.

If he truly were exposed, the other party would have surely charged straight at him immediately.

Although the Three Saints Sect had lost Li Jianping, they still had three Grand Elders at the Peak Star Realm.

In such a situation, there was no reason for them to monitor him.

After a calm analysis, Jiang Wang regained his composure and resumed treating Chu Fan.

This Chu Fan was a Three Saints Sect Disciple and possessed a special Physique.

He was a Lecturer at the Jixia Academy and had even come with Liu Yueru, the Academy Head.

With these two connections, the Three Saints Sect couldn't possibly do anything to them.

However, the Elders outside Qingyang Peak did not think so.

"Have you sensed Ye Nantian?"

"No. It's strange; Ye Nantian is nowhere to be found in the entire Three Saints Sect. Where could such a large living person have gone?"

"Holy Son Su's suspicion really wasn't baseless. Continue monitoring; if there's any sign of movement, take those two down immediately!"

"One of them is an Elder of the Jixia Academy. Won't taking them down directly cause problems?"

"What are you afraid of? It's Holy Son Su's order. Would Liu Yueru even dare to utter a word of protest?"

With Su Ming and the Old Ancestor around, their Three Saints Sect was already an invincible existence on the Qianyuan Continent.

When everyone's strength was similar, I'd be polite to you, but now that our strengths are no longer equal, what is there to say?

Inside Qingyang Peak, Jiang Wang, who was still continuously repairing Chu Fan's body, suddenly sensed something was wrong.

Chu Fan's already mastered Spirit Devouring Body Forging Art actually began to circulate on its own.

"Damn it! Can't you use your talent where it's actually needed?!"

Jiang Wang cursed inwardly and continued to use his spiritual power to suppress it.

As one of the top Cultivation Techniques of the Demonic Path, the Three Saints Sect would surely recognize the commotion caused when the Spirit Devouring Body Forging Art was in operation.

Once discovered, wouldn't all his previous efforts go down the drain?

Having planned everything up to this point, how could Jiang Wang allow Chu Fan, into whom he had invested so much effort, to be exposed?

With a cold expression, Jiang Wang increased the transmission of spiritual power, determined to ensure Chu Fan faced no risk of exposure.

However, the more he looked at the unconscious Chu Fan before him, the more he felt it was somewhat absurd.

"I've actually become like this? To be trapped because I've invested too much in a single pawn?"

The moment this thought arose, it was quickly suppressed by Jiang Wang himself.

Now was not the time to think about such things.

Was it truly because of the surrounding environment that he didn't want to think about it?

Perhaps not.

The heavens mandate branch connected to his head was already enough to explain the situation.

To Chu Fan, he was now just like Li Jianping once was.

Destiny had already transformed this top-three figure of the Demonic Path into Chu Fan's Guardian.

This kind of subtle guidance and change was something the person involved simply couldn't detect.

From the moment Destiny chose Chu Fan to be the protagonist, everyone else was destined to become a stepping stone for his ascent to the peak.

Whether it be the Righteous Path or the Demonic Path, Destiny would always have a reason in the end to make Chu Fan's actions appear perfectly reasonable.

Under Jiang Wang's relentless suppression, Chu Fan finally stopped the automatic circulation of the Spirit Devouring Body Forging Art.

His complexion also recovered; waking up was likely just a matter of time.

After another incense stick's time, Chu Fan finally woke up completely.

Looking at the familiar arrangements in the room, he glanced at Jiang Wang beside him in confusion.

"Senior Qi? When did we get back?"

"Something went wrong with your Cultivation Technique, leading the Remnant Soul of Taotie to possess your body once again. For the time being, we will rest and recover at Qingyang Peak; we aren't going out."

However, after hearing Jiang Wang's explanation, Chu Fan was somewhat dissatisfied.

After being out for this period, under the dual boost of the Spirit Devouring Body Forging Art and the 'taotie feast spirit', his cultivation was nearly back to the Longevity Realm.

Suddenly being asked to rest and recover now was not something Chu Fan could accept.

"I'm just a bit away from reaching the Longevity Realm. It won't be too late to rest after I've stepped into the Longevity Realm..."

Facing Chu Fan's suggestion, Jiang Wang's expression instantly became solemn.

"Continuing to blindly increase your strength at a time like this will only make it easier for the Remnant Soul of Taotie to erode you."

"No, I can feel that the Remnant Soul of Taotie has completely quieted down; it won't appear again for a long time at least," Chu Fan argued.

However, Jiang Wang knew better than he did; after all, he was the one who personally struck the Taotie remnant back.

To prevent it from waking up again, he had struck with great force.

This also gave Chu Fan something to rely on.

As long as the Remnant Soul of Taotie didn't wake up, he had to increase his strength as quickly as possible.

"And then? After you get stronger, the Remnant Soul of Taotie will also get stronger. What will you do the next time it occupies your body?"

"Chu Fan, so many people have already sacrificed themselves for you. Just how long are you going to stay this naive?!"

Jiang Wang's words left Chu Fan frozen in place. His lips quivered, but in the end, he didn't say anything more.

But the seed of desire to step into the Longevity Realm had already been planted. Even if he was persuaded by Jiang Wang's words for now, once the guilt in his heart passed, it would resurface.

Moreover, the current Destiny would not allow Chu Fan to rest and recover peacefully.

It had already sensed a threat from Su Ming.

First, he severed Its connection with Luo Ningshuang, and then he mastered the method to completely destroy Destiny.

How could It not be anxious?

If Chu Fan's cultivation continued to fall behind Su Ming's, there would be no possibility of a comeback in the future.

Unfortunately, after experiencing Su Ming's previous devastation, Destiny had temporarily lost the ability to aid Chu Fan.

Influencing Jiang Wang to continue helping Chu Fan was already the greatest assistance Destiny could provide him before being damaged.

What Realm Chu Fan could reach in the coming period of time would depend entirely on his own performance.

At the very least, Destiny could no longer deliver Opportunities to Chu Fan's mouth as easily as common cabbage.

When the night was deep and quiet, Chu Fan made a decision that completely caught Jiang Wang off guard.

He quietly slipped out of Qingyang Peak and headed toward the outside of the Three Saints Sect.

Normally, it would be impossible for someone at the Peak Star Realm not to notice Chu Fan slipping away, but sealing the Remnant Soul of Taotie and treating Chu Fan had already exhausted too much of his mental energy.

Combined with the influence of Destiny, he ultimately overlooked Chu Fan for a hundred breaths' time.

By the time he came to his senses, Chu Fan had already bypassed the Formations set up by the Three Saints Sect Elders and was getting closer to the Mountain Gate.

Jiang Wang was instantly burning with anxiety.

"This fellow truly is a useless waste!"
