Supreme Emptiness-Chapter 270 - Educating the Desires Sect Master

Chapter 270: Chapter 270 Educating the Desires Sect Master Chapter 270: Chapter 270 Educating the Desires Sect Master Immediately!

The whistling sound of arrows breaking through the air arose.

Countless poisoned crossbow arrows were shot out like raindrops.

Landing in the snow outside the cave, they immediately corroded the white snow into a pitch-black color.

Because the two of them were pressed against the stone wall.

Most of the crossbow arrows brushed past them.

Only one arrow hit Jiang Fan’s waist.

...

Yue Mingzhu finally realized that Jiang Fan was saving her.

Looking at the large area of corroded snow outside, she was filled with fear.

Then she looked at Jiang Fan, who was very close, and felt deeply apologetic: “Just now… I misunderstood you.”

Jiang Fan confirmed there were no more traps and then released her.

He forcefully pulled out the crossbow arrow from his waist.

Lifting his robe to look, the silver-white protective armor he was wearing had been corroded into a dent by the arrowhead.

It nearly penetrated through and reached his skin.

Seeing this, Yue Mingzhu felt even more guilty and her face turned red: “Thank you for saving me.”

Jiang Fan poked her forehead with an angry expression, saying in a teaching tone:

“What did your elders teach you?”

“You have no sense of alertness at all!”

Yue Mingzhu covered her forehead, her eyes wide open.

“You dare to poke me and even scold me? I am the dignified…”

She stopped herself in time.

She almost revealed her identity.

“You’re still not convinced?”

Jiang Fan became angry, prying her hand away and poking her forehead again:

“Fortunately, it was just crossbow arrows earlier. What if it was quicksand, poisonous gas, or explosive jade talismans?”

“We would have both died here!”

Yue Mingzhu was so angry that she was breathing heavily through her nose.

This scoundrel, how dare he!?

Is he addicted to lecturing me?

She said angrily: “How would I know that the traps in such an old cave mansion were still intact?”

“Still talking back?”

Jiang Fan poked her forehead again: “Use your brain.”

“Nascent Soul cultivators can float in the air, why would they need to climb with iron chains?”

Uh—

Yue Mingzhu, who had looked imposing, froze in place.

That question left her stumped.

“Also, do you think the warning on the stone tablet at the entrance was left by a Nascent Soul cultivator?”

“With a wave of his hand, he could use countless methods to prevent outsiders from entering.”

“Why would he need to set up a sign to warn others?”

Jiang Fan tapped her on the head, speaking crossly.

Yue Mingzhu felt a guilty conscience stirring within her.

She had only focused on the fact that there was a Nascent Soul Cave Mansion here, making her overlook these details.

What kind of existence were Nascent Soul cultivators?

In their eyes, Core Formation Realm cultivators were like ants.

Did he need to set up a stone tablet to warn ants?

And considering the iron chains.

It sounded more like someone had discovered this Nascent Soul Cave Mansion.

To monopolize this place, they set up a tablet to scare people away.

And that person, in order to keep others from exploring, naturally set up traps inside the cave.

Thinking of this, Yue Mingzhu felt a bit embarrassed.

She, after all, had failed to see as clearly as a young boy.

Jiang Fan, with a long face, asked: “Do you acknowledge your mistake?”

Yue Mingzhu, feeling a bit guilty, replied: “Yes, I do.”

Her face turned red.

Now, she absolutely refused to reveal her identity, even under threat of death.

She, the dignified Sect Master of the Desires Sect, had been scolded by a junior, and the scolding made perfect sense.

If this got out, she would be utterly humiliated!

Seeing that she had finally yielded, Jiang Fan dared to enter the cave with her.

Otherwise, who knew what would happen if she didn’t listen again and triggered some mechanism or trap.

“Without my orders, don’t touch anything inside,” Jiang Fan’s expression softened a little as he reminded her.

Yue Mingzhu chuckled wryly: “I understand.”

Thus, the two of them entered the cave, sealed for who knew how many ages, one after the other.

As soon as they entered.

Jiang Fan immediately noticed a finely crafted crossbow bed.

It was this crossbow bed that had been activated earlier, shooting over fifty poisoned crossbow arrows.

What startled Jiang Fan was.

At the other end of the crossbow bed, there lay a dried corpse.

Judging from the age, the person must have died twenty or thirty years ago.

Jiang Fan thought: “This person must be the one who occupied this cave mansion.”

“Even at death, they lay by the crossbow bed, unwilling for outsiders to enter.”

“Such a strong possessiveness.”

Suddenly.

Jiang Fan noticed that in the right palm of the dried corpse, there was a bamboo slip.

On an exposed corner, the words “Earth-level Technique” could faintly be seen.

Yue Mingzhu also noticed it, and her pupils contracted.

But she did not act rashly.

Jiang Fan turned his head and said in surprise: “Oh? You’re not stupid.”

Yue Mingzhu’s mouth twitched.

Outside the stone door, she had only been careless; it wasn’t that she had no experience.

Did he really think she was some naive young girl?

She said wryly: “It’s clearly a trap.”

“Such an important Earth-level Cultivation Technique, how could it be casually held in one’s hand?”

“Moreover, it just so happens that the words ‘Earth-level Technique’ are exposed?”

“Isn’t it just to lure someone into a trap?”

Jiang Fan nodded, showing an approving expression: “You’ve made progress.”

Yue Mingzhu rolled her eyes: “Thank you for your compliment.”

With that, she bypassed the crossbow bed and approached the dried corpse.

She carefully squatted down, her gaze fixed on the bamboo slip.

She quickly noticed a thin steel wire, one end attached to the bamboo slip, the other end under the dried corpse’s foot.

Lying on the ground, she looked through the gap under the foot.

She snickered: “As expected, it’s an explosion talisman.”

“Anyone who tries to take the bamboo slip will pull the steel wire, triggering the talisman.”

“Then, the entire cave mansion would collapse.”

“Anyone who entered would be buried with him!”

“Such a wicked mind!”

Jiang Fan showed a hint of admiration in his eyes.

This girl had a strong sense of perceptiveness; he seemed to have underestimated her.

What surprised Jiang Fan even more was the girl’s rich and decisive expertise in handling such traps.

She held the steel wire in one hand, preventing the explosion talisman from being triggered.

With the other hand, she casually sent the dried corpse flying, crashing against the stone wall and shattering into pieces.

Thus, the explosion talisman was revealed.

“It’s actually an explosive jade talisman equivalent to a strike from the Ninth Layer of Core Formation!”

Yue Mingzhu, seeing the true nature of the talisman, had a look of excitement on her delicate face.

She hurriedly cut the steel wire, deactivating the talisman.

Her face was full of joy.

An explosive jade talisman of the Ninth Layer of Core Formation level would be difficult for any Sect Master in the Nine-Sect to defend against.

Having this was equivalent to possessing a lethal weapon!

“Jiang Fan, give this to me, and you can choose the next two items. How about that?” Yue Mingzhu, cherishing the jade talisman, looked at Jiang Fan with a negotiating gaze.

Originally, she had promised that Jiang Fan would get the first pick upon entering.

But now, she ended up claiming the first treasure for herself, feeling a bit embarrassed.

“No problem.”

Jiang Fan readily agreed.

One of these deterrent talismans was enough; having more would be of no added value.

Moreover, among the talismans in his hand, the Nascent Soul strike talisman.

Was worth multiple times more than this simple explosive talisman.

Being able to exchange it for the next two magical treasures was undoubtedly advantageous.

Suddenly.

The corner of Jiang Fan’s eye caught a glimpse of a faint green light.

Turning to look.

He saw it emanating from the shattered dried corpse.

Its abdomen, vaguely glowing through the dry skin.

Jiang Fan’s heart skipped a beat.

This person, who saw the treasures in the cave as their lifeblood, wouldn’t want anyone else to possess them even in death.

So, where would they hide the treasure before dying?

Staring at that green light within the abdomen.

His heart pounded!
