Supreme Emptiness-Chapter 60: The Fruit of the Void

Wang Yingfeng looked up.

It turned out that when he broke the branch, another almost identical fruit fell.

He instinctively caught it, feeling a bit bewildered.

"Pick one, get one free?"

He looked closely, his pupils contracting.

"Profound-Level High Palm Technique ’Wandering Dragon Palm’?"

One Profound-Level Mental Method was already unbelievable, and now there was also a Palm Technique.

Even the Green Cloud Sect might not have such high-level Cultivation Techniques!

Jiang Fan’s heart pounded fiercely as he couldn’t help but look up again, trying to climb higher to pick more fruits.

But after a few steps, he felt that suppressive force once more.

"Only Core Formation Realm can continue to pick." A voice reminded him.

Jiang Fan was deeply disappointed.

He couldn’t help but glance at the nearest fruit.

At this glance, he couldn’t look away.

"Lower Earth-Level Soul Technique ’Soul Cutting Three Forms’!"

"Hiss! It’s actually a Soul Secret Technique!! And it’s Earth-Level?"

Jiang Fan gasped.

Soul Techniques were undoubtedly the most mysterious and could catch an enemy off guard.

They often could kill without a trace.

With his exceptional Soul Power, if he cultivated a Soul Secret Technique, wouldn’t that be...

Just thinking about it made Jiang Fan’s mouth dry.

Unfortunately.

He needed to be Core Formation Realm to obtain it.

He could only regretfully look away, focusing again on the two fruits in his hand.

How to get the Cultivation Technique sealed inside them?

Maybe eating them?

He tried taking a bite, and a portion of the technique entered his mind. Another bite, and more information followed.

Jiang Fan: ...

What an un-wasteful way to consume!

After finishing both fruits, his consciousness returned to his body.

When he opened his eyes, the fruits were gone from his palm.

But his mind now held two complete techniques.

"Dragon Seeking Scripture, let me see how different Profound-Level High Mental Methods are!"

He said, cracking his knuckles in anticipation.

But at that moment.

Urgent knocking sounded from outside the door.

"Fan, Zhu Jianshen has come."

Jiang Fan’s eyes snapped open, and he had to set aside thoughts of cultivation for the moment.

Opening the door, he found Xu Youran holding a bundle.

Without waiting for an explanation, she shoved it into Jiang Fan’s arms.

"You must leave now! Don’t get dragged into Xu Family’s troubles."

Uh—

Feeling the heavy bundle and glimpsing the large-denomination silver note peeking out.

Jiang Fan felt a warmth in his heart.

This isn’t just Xu Youran; it must be Xu Zhengyan’s intention too, right?

They gave him all the valuable things of the Xu Family.

Wanting him to run away quickly.

After all, he wasn’t officially the Xu family’s son-in-law yet, so the Green Cloud Sect wouldn’t hunt him down.

"Why should I leave?"

Jiang Fan smiled faintly: "I just want to settle a score with this Young Master Zhu."

A cold light flickered in his eyes.

If he hadn’t managed to kill the Sub-Altar Master by chance, what would’ve been the Xu Family’s fate?

What would have become of Xu Youran?

Such a person deserved a lesson!

Ignoring Xu Youran’s pleas.

He picked up the bundle from under the bed and made his way to the main hall.

By now, the hall was devoid of any Xu family members.

Only Xu Zhengyan stood there with his hands behind his back.

Preparing to face the great catastrophe alone.

Meanwhile, Zhu Jianshen stormed in with his men, brimming with hostility.

"Xu Zhengyan, your Xu family fled rather swiftly!"

Xu Zhengyan remained expressionless, as if seeing through all matters.

At dawn, he had already dismissed all Xu family members.

Ready to face the calamity alone.

"Zhu Jianshen, abusing the power of the Green Cloud Sect will eventually catch up to you!" Xu Zhengyan said coldly.

Zhu Jianshen showed a mocking smile.

"Retribution? At your age, you still believe in such childish notions?"

"Only useless failures comfort themselves this way!"

Xu Zhengyan clenched his fists.

He wanted to retort.

But the fact was undeniable.

In this world, was there really retribution?

What existed was, good people die young while evil persists through the ages!

Zhu Jianshen pulled a chair and sat down, crossing his legs: "Furthermore, I am acting on the Green Cloud Sect’s orders."

"No one can say I’m wrong."

"Now, it’s time for me to do my duty!"

"Where is the Sub-Altar Master’s head?"

Xu Zhengyan’s eyes turned cold: "Not here!"

How could the Xu Family retrieve the Sub-Altar Master’s head?

Not to mention his injuries, even at his peak, Xu Zhengyan couldn’t possibly defeat the Sub-Altar Master.

Zhu Jianshen laughed heartily: "Since that’s the case, I can only execute my duties impartially."

"The Xu Family failed to complete the Green Cloud Sect’s assigned task on time; thus, according to law, the family must be confiscated and punished!"

"Go, seal off the Xu Family!"

Crash—

His men immediately charged towards the Xu Mansion like wolves, faces brimming with excitement.

Confiscating property was not a frequent opportunity!

Xu Zhengyan opened his mouth, but didn’t stop them.

After all, the important items had already been taken away by the family members.

Zhu Jianshen smirked, his expression both mocking and amused: "Do you think it doesn’t matter since your Xu family members have already escaped with valuables?"

Hmm?

Xu Zhengyan suddenly felt a bad premonition.

Zhu Jianshen clapped his hands mockingly: "Bring them in, let Xu Family Master take a look."

From outside, another group of people entered.

Each one was carrying a prisoner, their faces bruised and swollen, hair disheveled.

Among them were Wang Yingfeng.

And many Xu family members.

All except Xu Yining were present.

Xu Zhengyan was shocked: "Why didn’t you escape?"

Zhu Jianshen laughed heartily: "Escape? I set up an inescapable net outside Xu Mansion long ago!"

"Apart from Xu Yining, none of you Xu family members can escape!"

However.

It wasn’t long before Zhu Jianshen stopped laughing.

His face turned grim as he said: "Where is Jiang Fan? Where is Xu Youran?"

These two were the real reasons he went to such great lengths to target the Xu family.

One was someone he wanted to tear apart!

The other, a woman he intended to torment!

But they weren’t here!

Ah!

Suddenly.

Several screams rang out in succession.

Following this.

A figure flew out from the backyard, spewing blood, and landed heavily in front of Zhu Jianshen.

Looking up.

It was Jiang Fan holding Xu Youran’s hand, walking over unhurriedly.

"Zhu Jianshen, were you looking for me?"

Jiang Fan picked up a note, a sneer curling at the corner of his mouth.

The saying "Enemies meeting, eyes blazing" came to mind.

Zhu Jianshen laughed coldly: "Good! Good! You’ve got guts! You didn’t run!"

"Then I’ll fulfill your wish!"

"Seize him. If he resists, kill him on the spot!!!"

No matter what, he wanted Jiang Fan dead!

Jiang Fan expressionlessly began to write: "Why are you arresting me?"

Seeing Jiang Fan still mouthing off at death’s door, Zhu Jianshen sneered: "What, did you obtain the Sub-Altar Master’s head?"

"If you can’t, you’re defying the Green Cloud Sect’s orders!"

"If I don’t arrest you, who should I arrest?"

Xu Zhengyan felt anxious.

Why didn’t Jiang Fan leave when he should have?

But seeing the family members all captured, he sighed helplessly.

Even if Jiang Fan had left, he would have been captured and brought back.

The Xu family’s fate was already sealed.

But, just when Xu Zhengyan and all the Xu family members felt utterly hopeless.

Jiang Fan calmly dropped the bundle in his hand, tossing it in front of Zhu Jianshen.

He unfolded a note.

"Young Master Zhu, take a look."
