Chapter 1112: Chapter 895: Just Shut Up Already!

"How dare you! What are you to question my master’s integrity?" Ling Di jumped out barking fiercely.

Yan Xuan followed suit with a cold snort, "My master possesses countless Divine Artifacts, whether your thing is genuine or not, he can tell at a glance. It’s not like everyone is as ignorant as you, deceived without even realizing."

Ye Fan naturally wouldn’t concede, yelling defiantly, "This is the Kunlun Jade Ring from the Celestial Realm’s Jade Pool! It’s a Divine Artifact capable of collecting all things under the heaven!"

The voices were getting louder and rowdier inside the Immortal Ship.

Jiang Yuan motioned for Old Dog to let them rest for a bit, and said leisurely, "Since you believe it can collect all things under heaven, including the Power of the Celestial Dao, then why not try using it to collect my Seven-Layered Exquisite Pagoda?"

Reminded by him, Ye Fan’s eyes suddenly lit up, right!

Why didn’t I think of that before?

Earlier, it was caught off guard and taken by this artifact, proving its might! Once I use the Kunlun Jade Ring to possess it, not only can I escape smoothly, but I can also collect Qu Luming and the others together.

Although it would certainly consume a lot of the Kunlun Jade Ring’s energy, it’s better than sitting idly and waiting for doom; this is definitely a way out in dire straits, and the enemy has delivered it right to me!

"Ha, if you hadn’t mentioned it, I really wouldn’t have realized." Ye Fan lowered his head a bit, his eyes raised upwards with three parts black and seven parts white, accompanied by a sinister and cold smile that made him look increasingly ruthless, "Now, with the Kunlun Jade Ring that collects all things under heaven in hand, your lives are mine!"

A powerful shout, he abruptly stretched out his right arm to hold up the Jade Ring, "Collect!"

The imagined spectacular scene of collecting the object into the ring instantly didn’t appear, leaving Ye Fan slightly stunned.

The crowd outside the pagoda burst into laughter.

"My master kindly told you it was a fake, and you still didn’t believe it! Fool, hahahaha!"

"So that’s it? Laughable, it makes Dog Grandpa die laughing! "

"I thought there’d be at least some movement, at least collect a Golden Body Divine Statue to not make me laugh so loudly."

"Watching Brother Bai Walking Flood Dragon, I was quite tense emotionally. Catching such a living treasure relaxes me, is he really a cultivator of the Mahayana Realm? How is he so funny? If Brother Bai weren’t crossing Thunder Tribulation again, I’d really want to tell him about this funny episode!"

"Tell him later, now he’s busy, what if he gets distracted by laughter and delays important matters..."

......

Ye Fan’s head was buzzing, flipping the Kunlun Jade Ring back and forth, mumbling as sweat started to bead on his forehead, all of his earlier carefree confidence vanished.

Such an abrupt gain of hope followed by its sudden loss was clearly hard for him to accept.

"Impossible! Impossible! How could this happen?" No longer hoping to directly collect the artifact imprisoning him, he aimed at a Golden Body Divine Statue, repeatedly commanding the ring to collect, but the "Divine Artifact" which always worked perfectly in the past just remained indifferent.

In a panic, Ye Fan anxiously took out a garment from his Storage Bag, the ring easily collected it; he took out a few weapons, it still collected with ease, but when he pointed the ring at the Golden Body Divine Statue, there was once again no movement.

Only until now, if he still didn’t realize he was deceived, he would be truly foolish.

With a thud, he collapsed on the ground, staring blankly at the Jade Ring in his palm, lamenting the loss of his thousand-year savings for merely a deceitful Storage Bag!

Clearly, its aura was thick and ancient with the essence of an Ancient Divine Artifact, he believed in it wholeheartedly, and yet...

No wonder during the transaction the original owner repeatedly warned that the "Ancient Divine Artifact" was in disrepair and its energy would diminish with use, it must be saved for critical moments or else it would be impossible to repair when the energy was exhausted, leaving only regret.

Turns out it outright couldn’t collect high-tier items!

The old fellow was just stalling for time!

It was all because its aura was so deceiving, Ye Fan believed it. After trying for collection of small things, he spared no expense to trade it, never expecting himself to be hunting geese and having a goose peck out his eyes!

"Enough, better think about how to beg Alliance Leader Du for mercy." Jiang Yuan glanced at the system time, it’s not long till Du Li arrives for punishment.

It would be perfect to let him come and personally witness this jumping clown and the "Divine Artifact" so he’d be completely assured, allowing countless innocent Demon Cultivators to withdraw from Wanmang Mountain.

The energy seemed to drain from Ye Fan’s entire body, and he lay on the ground heedless of his image, dazed.

One who nearly achieved fame and glory in good fortune versus the fool duped out of money and goods, the stark contrast was apparent. His grand ambitions transformed into a joke, unable to bear the blow, Ye Fan spat out two mouthfuls of blood.

"Tsk!" Qu Luming shook his head and sighed, "If only he’d known this would happen, why act so recklessly in the first place."

Outside the porthole, the lightning and thunder gradually subsided, and the lively atmosphere inside the Immortal Ship slowly calmed.

Du Li who received word arrived shortly after, seeing the dejected traitor within the pagoda, both anxious and angry, "Ye Fan, Ye Fan, I’ve always treated you well, yet you betrayed me publicly for your personal interests!

Betraying me is one thing, but why spread the news of the Power of the Celestial Dao’s Remnant? Do you know how many cultivators have perished because of this? If the Demon Realm Alliance’s schemes of thousands of years are ruined overnight, you will be a sinner for eternity!"

"Skillfully lacking, falling into your hands today, I do not defend myself." Experiencing such ups and downs and deeply affected, Ye Fan’s Daoxin nearly shattered, he weakly said, "I just want to tell you that since taking the role of the Director of the Inspection Department, I’ve discovered sneaky thieves and petty criminals in the Demon Realm Alliance, they are unworthy of the Ascension opportunity.

This world has already fallen, it’s hard to find upright Righteous Cultivators, if you truly plan on conducting a collective Ascension, you better select carefully."
