Chapter 1300: Chapter 1307: Standoff

Jiang Fan hesitated.

If he handed him over, there would be no hope of rescuing Xingyuan Venerable again.

But if he didn’t, he would have to fall out with the Five-star Giant King right now.

Swish!

A shadow converged beside the Five-star Giant King.

It was Wu Gou Venerable!

In his hand, he held Xingyuan Venerable, who had been resealed with the five senses.

Seeing him, Jiang Fan breathed a sigh of relief.

Xingyuan Venerable was still alive.

What he feared most was that all his efforts would result in news of Xingyuan Venerable’s death.

Fortunately, they hadn’t killed Xingyuan Venerable but spared his life.

Jiang Fan guessed their intention.

To convert Xingyuan Venerable!

"Devour Blood, what’s the situation now?"

Wu Gou Venerable scrutinized Jiang Fan and the Five-star Giant King, eyes full of doubt.

Shouldn’t the atmosphere between the two be tense and confrontational?

How come the Five-star Giant King didn’t have any killing intent?

The Five-star Giant King snorted, "This fool caused a big misunderstanding!"

Wu Gou Venerable looked at Jiang Fan suspiciously, "You wouldn’t say this guy is that person, would you?"

Jiang Fan was frustrated.

Why don’t you just say the name of that damned traitor in front of all the martial artists of Hunyuan State!

The Five-star Giant King nodded, "It’s him."

"Not long ago, a deal was made."

"Now there’s trouble, hoping to sell Xingyuan Venerable a big favor in exchange for protection."

"Xingyuan Venerable cannot be taken back by him, I’ve given him some Magical Treasures."

Wu Gou Venerable stared at Jiang Fan, eyes narrowing gradually.

He had never seen that traitor before.

He’d only heard that there was such a person in Central Earth with extraordinary connections, though his strength wasn’t very high.

But his abilities were extremely strong.

Whatever resources the Heavenly Realm wanted, whatever intelligence was needed, he could find it.

Since the Connecting Sky Black Pillar linked the two realms, he’d provided the Heavenly Realm with much valuable intelligence.

The Giant Emperor was very fond of him.

He was second only to him in favor from the Giant Emperor.

However, something seemed amiss.

This person wanting to exchange Xingyuan Venerable was enough with the information of the Nine Phoenix Chao Dao hairpin.

Why go to the trouble of breaking into the military camp, slaughtering, and capturing Princess Zi Jiang?

It all seemed like revenge against the Ancient Giants.

"Devour Blood, have you seen that person’s true face?"

Wu Gou Venerable asked.

The Five-star Giant King slightly shook his head, "No, but I heard from the Giant Emperor that his true face and the mask are similar in age."

Wu Gou Venerable’s face changed, his eyes suddenly sharp, speaking in a cold voice:

"You’ve been tricked!"

"The person before you, beneath the mask, is a young man!!"

The Five-star Giant King might not see it, but as one of the Heavenly Human Five Declines from Central Earth, he had long seen through the mask with the spell.

Beneath that mask, it wasn’t any middle-aged man.

But a young man!

"What?" the Five-star Giant King exclaimed, the five stars on his forehead spinning rapidly, carefully sensing Jiang Fan’s blood energy.

Moments later, the giant vertical eye was filled with angry killing intent.

"His blood, indeed, doesn’t have the taste of a middle-aged man!"

"You little brat! How dare you deceive this king!"

Seeing his identity exposed.

Jiang Fan no longer pretended, tightly gripping the mirror, even pressing White Bone against it, activated it towards Princess Zi Jiang.

"Wu Gou Venerable! You’ve arrived just in time!"

"Do you want mutual destruction or peaceful coexistence? You choose!"

Wu Gou Venerable laughed in anger: "Fine, fine, fine!"

"Central Earth truly produces talents!"

"A small Nascent Soul Realm dares to come to the Heavenly Realm, challenging me, challenging the Five-star Giant King?"

"Who gave you the courage?"

Initially, he only thought Jiang Fan was a wary junior that annoyed him.

He hadn’t taken him seriously in his mind.

Never imagined, he dared to threaten him!

Jiang Fan, holding the mirror, said:

"Just someone like you, a coward afraid of death, wouldn’t dare let Princess Zi Jiang die!"

"If she dies, you’ll be buried with her!"

If Wu Gou Venerable preferred to see Princess Zi Jiang die rather than exchange hostages.

The Asura Emperor would definitely not spare him.

And Wu Gou Venerable happened to be someone afraid of death.

So, Jiang Fan bet, he surely wouldn’t dare let Princess Zi Jiang die!

Wu Gou Venerable’s eyes turned dark.

He was indeed a coward who feared death and had betrayed Central Earth.

But he didn’t like others saying it out loud!

"Kid, you’re messing with danger!"

Jiang Fan snorted:

"Since I chose to stay, naturally I am ready to face death!"

"But before I die, I’ll definitely drag Princess Zi Jiang to die with me."

"And you and the Five-star Giant King will soon join me!"

Wu Gou Venerable tightened his grip on Xingyuan Venerable, clenched into a fist.

Murderous intent swirling in his eyes!

Both sides stood in confrontation, neither daring to make a move.

Until, banging sounds came from inside the mirror.

It was Princess Zi Jiang, sensing the tense atmosphere, patting the mirror’s wall, reminding Wu Gou Venerable and the Five-star Giant King to look over.

Through the mirror, her words were inaudible.

But from her mouth movements, they could discern them.

"Agree with him!"

Wu Gou Venerable was filled with reluctance!

To capture Xingyuan Venerable, he had laid plans for a month, even risking exposing his existence.

Now, to return Xingyuan Venerable?

Wouldn’t it all be for nothing?

But, with Princess Zi Jiang’s personal order, how dare he disobey?

The Five-star Giant King dared not defy the command even more.

The two exchanged glances, nodding at each other.

Wu Gou Venerable’s eyes slightly shifting, he said, "Youngster, let’s release them simultaneously!"

"No tricks from anyone!"

Jiang Fan continued gripping the mirror, laughed angrily: "Wu Gou Venerable, do you think I’m young and easily deceived?"

"Exchanging them here and now?"

After exchanging hostages, could Jiang Fan escape the pursuit of two earthly extremes with Xingyuan Venerable?

Releasing Princess Zi Jiang would be the moment they joined hands to kill him.

Not to mention, including Princess Zi Jiang.

Her desire to kill him was no less than the two earthly extremes.

Wu Gou Venerable bit his jaw, evidently unhappy his little scheming was seen through: "Then how do you suggest we exchange?"

"At the Connecting Sky Black Pillar’s entrance and exit."

Wu Gou Venerable and the Five-star Giant King exchanged glances, having no objections.

Because this proposal was within their expectations.

"Let’s go!" Wu Gou Venerable swirled his sleeve, a massive surge of demonic qi burst forth, carrying the three of them into the air.

Both sides maintained a confrontational posture.

Not long after, they arrived at the Connecting Sky Black Pillar.

Jiang Fan’s peripheral vision swept over and he couldn’t help but be shocked!

Beside the Connecting Sky Black Pillar, there were at least ten Giant Kings!

Among them, one had four stars spinning on his forehead!

This time, they had indeed put in enough effort to intercept and kill those trespassing in the Heavenly Realm.

Fortunately, many of them were wounded, and that Four-star Giant King’s aura was weak, likely having battled Venerable Lianjing.

Their anxious and uneasy expressions upon facing the arrival of the Five-star Giant King showed.

It seemed Venerable Lianjing, with Little Qilin and Purple Cloud Venerable, successfully escaped back.

Jiang Fan finally relaxed his taut heart.

Now, only exchanging hostages remained!

As for the Five-star Giant King, he wasn’t too worried.

Because once he returned to the Connecting Sky Black Pillar, the Five-star Giant King’s massive size wouldn’t be able to chase him.

But.

Wu Gou Venerable could!
