Supreme Emptiness

Jiang Fan's face showed murderous intent: "White Horse Temple!"

He took out a Jade Talisman, ignited it with a wisp of freshly gathered Spiritual Power, and hurled it fiercely.

But the Nascent Soul Strike hit the golden Buddha Light, as if it were a mud ox entering the sea.

Unable to harm the Sky Demon Emperor at all.

"Hahaha!"

"You pathetic worms, all your efforts were in vain!"

"Though I, Cangqiong, have been defeated, I can still become a Buddha, hahaha!"

The laughter faded into the distance, leaving everyone indignant.

No one could have imagined, when the Dharma Seal Vajra came to the Demon Emperor Court that day, besides wanting to convert Jiang Fan,

He also made such a pact with the Sky Demon Emperor.

The Sky Demon Emperor promised to convert and become a mount for the Buddhism, so he could receive the protection of the Dharma Seal Vajra at the most dangerous time.

Watching him depart, everyone was helpless.

Jiang Fan clenched his fist even tighter.

If he still had the strength to wield the Execution Pen again, he didn't believe the phantom of the Dharma Seal Vajra could still protect the Sky Demon Emperor.

"Damn it!"

Once the Sky Demon Emperor enters the Buddhism, trying to kill him would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.

With the overbearing nature of those at the White Horse Temple, asking them for an explanation is a one-way trip, let alone avenging themselves?

The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master was also unwilling, saying: "We were so close to success."

"Fortunately, once Cangqiong enters Buddhism, he can never return to the Continent."

"This Continent will finally be able to fully restore its peace."

Jiang Fan felt particularly oppressed in his heart.

The bloodstained zither of Fu Chaohun is still in his Space Storage Device.

On Boundary Mountain, the fallen comrades of the Nine-Sect still lie quietly in their tombs.

Why, after causing all this, can the Sky Demon Emperor become a Buddha?

Why!

The Sky Demon Emperor must die!

Even if he enters Buddhism, I'll break in and kill him, avenging everyone!

But he needed to recover first.

Give himself half a day's time to fully recover, then he would head to Taicang State, and ascend to the White Horse Temple!

"Are you all alright?"

He forced himself to calm down and looked around at the crowd.

Concubine Yunxia shook her head slightly: "We're all fine, but..."

She supported Jiang Fan as he turned around.

Jiang Fan looked forward, and his pupils shrank.

Ling Shu, in a green dress, knelt on the ground holding a head.

Tears silently dripped from her eyes.

"This... this is?" Jiang Fan had a bad premonition.

Concubine Yunxia bowed her head, sorrowfully saying, "The Sky Demon Emperor killed all of Ling Shu's clansmen."

"One hundred and fifty-eight people, not one left."

How is that possible?

Jiang Fan looked towards Han Feidao.

Han Feidao clearly said that he had already relocated all of Ling Shu's clansmen in advance.

Why were they still exterminated?

Han Feidao also showed a look of surprise: "I indeed had already relocated them."

"Sky-devouring Tiger Demon King, where did you find their clansmen?"

"Where is the Sky-devouring Tiger Demon King?"

Only then did everyone realize that the Sky-devouring Tiger Demon King had disappeared without a trace.

But that didn't matter anymore.

Jiang Fan staggered to Ling Shu's side, not knowing what to say.

The extermination of her entire clan, what kind of blow was that?

Back then, Li Qingfeng's death alone caused Jiang Fan immense grief, unable to recover for a long time.

Let alone one's own clan, parents, siblings?

"Ling Shu..." Jiang Fan knelt down and gently held her frail shoulder.

Ling Shu slowly raised her head, her face full of tear stains:

"Brother Jiang Fan."

"My dad is dead, my mom is dead, my brother is dead, my entire clan is dead..."

Jiang Fan held her in an embrace, his heart aching.

Besides this, he couldn't find any words to comfort her.

Ling Shu leaned on Jiang Fan's shoulder, feeling even more saddened, crying and saying:

"Brother Jiang Fan."

"If I had obediently married the Demon Emperor, would they not have died?"

"Was I the one who caused their deaths, wasn't I?"

"Cough, cough..."

She suddenly started coughing.

Blood mixed with fragmented flesh stained Jiang Fan's body.

Jiang Fan's face changed slightly, finally noticing that she was gravely injured, and quickly took out a Revitalizing Pill to feed her.

However, she rejected it, taking the Revitalizing Pill from Jiang Fan's hand but not consuming it.

Tears in her eyes fell like a kite with a broken string, continuously rolling down.

"I caused their deaths, it was my fault, it's all my fault."

"Cough, cough... cough, cough..."

Her injuries were worsening.

Jiang Fan anxiously said: "Eat the Spirit Pill first, otherwise your life will be in danger."

Ling Shu shook her head slightly, crying: "Everyone is dead, all because of me..."

"I'm the only one left."

Her heart had already given birth to a desire for death.

No longer wishing to stay in the mortal world.

Jiang Fan's heart was shaken, holding her shoulder and shaking it: "You still have me! You still have me!"

"I promised to take you to the North, don't you want to go anymore?"

He could only think of every possible way to give Ling Shu more will to live.

Ling Shu's tears fell like rain, and after a long while, she nodded:

"Alright, let's go to the North."

"Brother Jiang Fan, take me."

Jiang Fan nodded repeatedly: "Then swallow the Revitalizing Pill first."

Ling Shu looked at the Revitalizing Pill in her palm, hesitated for a moment, then put it in her mouth.

The worry in Jiang Fan's heart was finally relieved.

He wasted no time and took out the Nine Dragon Bronze Chariot.

Although the dragon soul had dispersed, it could still be driven.

Without regard to the cost, he consumed an entire Water Source Essence to urge it on, carrying Ling Shu away.

The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master was worried and wanted to follow them.

Concubine Yunxia, however, with tears in her eyes, gently said, "Let Jiang accompany her for the last journey."

The Revitalizing Pill can rescue any injury but cannot save a person with a dead heart.

The road to the North Border is long.

Jiang Fan leaned against the carriage, using the little strength he had just regained, to hold Ling Shu tightly in his arms.

She leaned on Jiang Fan's shoulder.

No longer crying.

"Brother, does my new bridal outfit look beautiful today?"

Ling Shu lifted her red sleeve.

Jiang Fan looked down with mixed feelings: "Very beautiful, it suits you well."

Ling Shu managed a faint smile at the corners of her mouth.

She gently wrapped her arms around Jiang Fan's waist, her face pressed against his chest, saying:

"I knew brother would like it."

"Because I tailored it in the style of Concubine Yunxia's attire."

Jiang Fan was momentarily stunned.

"Why?"

Ling Shu's dim eyes regained a hint of liveliness, saying: "Because brother likes Concubine Yunxia."

"So, Ling Shu thought if I wore similar clothes, brother might like them too."

Jiang Fan asked in surprise: "When did you find out?"

Ling Shu replied: "When you were being hunted by the Demon Emperor, and Concubine Yunxia went after him alone."

"To make a fairy like Concubine Yunxia, so aloof, risk everything, she must have fallen to earth, in love with you."

"And how could a gentle man like brother fail to reciprocate her love?"

Jiang Fan was silent.

So Ling Shu had seen everything.

No wonder Han Feidao said she was the most like Concubine Yunxia among the Demon Race.

"I'm so envious of Concubine Yunxia... cough, cough..." Ling Shu slowly closed her eyes.

"To be loved by brother, and in the future, wear a red dress to marry him."

"You can watch the snow together, aging gracefully with the passing years."

"You can paint sunsets hand in hand, accompanying each other for life."

"You can... cough, cough..."
