Supreme Emptiness-Chapter 983: A Word from the Elder, Severing Former Ties

"These are a few Low Grade Dust Heart Pills, capable of enhancing cultivation in the Core Formation Realm."

"This is just a small token from a disciple; I ask the Supreme Elders and elders to accept it."

Inside the Demon Emperor Court.

Chen Jing took out several bottles of Low Grade Dust Heart Pills, which had long been useless to him, and handed them to the people of the Green Cloud Sect.

Everyone was silent; no one spoke, and no one took them.

Firstly, with Jiang Fan’s aid of thousand-year-old Spiritual Meat, several Supreme Elders were either at the Ninth Layer of Core Formation or had reached Ninth Layer Perfection.

The Low Grade Dust Heart Pills were already of no use.

Secondly, it was evident that Chen Jing had mistaken them for trying to extort benefits from him, randomly giving them something to dismiss them.

As the Sect Master, Liu Wuchen responded on behalf of everyone, waving his hand, saying:

"Senior Chen Jing, you’ve misunderstood."

"We knew you came, so we specially came to see you, that’s all. You don’t need to give us anything; we don’t need it."

With all the resources Jiang Fan has, these bottles of Low Grade Dust Heart Pills were truly dispensable.

Not much use, and it would also earn the reputation of being greedy and asking for resources.

Chen Jing sneered in his heart.

He was waiting for Jiang Fan at the Demon Emperor Court, and the people of the Green Cloud Sect came upon hearing the news. What else could it be if not pestering this lofty Four Apertures Nascent Soul expert for benefits?

Wanting things without wanting a bad reputation?

Hypocritical!

He smiled, unrelentingly pushing a few medicine bottles into Liu Wuchen’s hands, saying, "Just take it, no need to be polite."

Liu Wuchen, helpless, took the Jade Bottles in hand, saying, "Chen Jing, we just came to see you."

"Since you’re well, we can be at ease."

"Elder Feng, do you have anything to say?"

Feeling the contempt from Chen Jing towards them, the people of the Green Cloud Sect, with warm hearts met with cold treatment, felt their excitement disappear into thin air.

Feeling desolate, they no longer wanted to remain there to embarrass themselves.

Feng Guchan stepped forward, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar face before him, his old eyes still filled with excitement.

"Liuyun, do you remember me?"

Chen Jing had already noticed him and at this point, had no choice but to stand up from his chair, cupping his hands:

"Elder Feng, I see you are well."

Feng Guchan’s expression slightly stiffened.

Didn’t even want to call him master anymore.

One word, elder, spoke of the severed teacher-disciple relationship long ago.

Laughably, he waited for eight years, always waiting for Nangong Liuyun to return, even though others advised him otherwise, he still nurtured a sliver of hope.

Now, coming to him of his own accord, all he received was an "Elder Feng."

He instantly aged several years, nodding, "I’m doing well."

"How about you? I heard you apprentice under the True Word Venerable. How is she treating you? Are you facing any difficulties lately?"

Even though Chen Jing had long refused to acknowledge him as a teacher, Feng Guchan still cared about his current status, worrying that he wasn’t faring well.

Chen Jing furrowed his brows, these folks from the countryside dared to inquire about the True Word Venerable?

Do they really not know what the heavens are, what reverence is!

He showed an impatient expression, saying, "Elder Feng, I am doing well."

"If you have no other matters, go back and rest."

"I too am a bit tired and wish to close my eyes and rest."

Such an obvious dismissal made Feng Guchan feel a chill rise in his heart.

Can’t even show concern?

Ultimately, he was unworthy.

He nodded desolately, "Very well, we won’t disturb Senior Chen Jing, farewell, farewell."

Jiang Fan stood at the door of the Demon Emperor Palace, having seen everything clearly.

Staring at Chen Jing, his eyes showed traces of aloofness,

No wonder on that day when Chen Jing heard Jiang Fan was associated with the Green Cloud Sect, he hesitated to speak.

It turned out he was worried about exposing his identity as a disciple of the Green Cloud Sect and getting entangled by Jiang Fan.

Really overthinking it!

He approached the members of the Green Cloud Sect, saying: "Supreme Elders, elders, and Sect Master, all of you are here."

"I was just looking for you."

He pretended not to have heard the dialogue between both sides, to avoid making the people from the Green Cloud Sect feel embarrassed.

Liu Wuchen’s eyes brightened, saying, "Jiang Fan, we wanted to find you as well."

The others looked at Jiang Fan, suddenly feeling much more comfortable.

No comparison, no difference.

Just looking at Jiang Fan, one would feel he is excellent.

Compared to Chen Jing, his emotional loyalty becomes even more valuable.

Jiang Fan said: "Master, the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion will set off for Taicang State in a few days."

"Before leaving, I have something to give all of you."

He took out seven Nascent Soul One-Strike Jade Tokens, handing them all to Liu Wuchen, saying:

"Originally, there were ten, three were used against the Sky Demon Emperor."

"The remaining ones are left to you for safekeeping."

What?

Nascent Soul One-Strike Jade Tokens? Seven of them?

Liu Wuchen’s pupils contracted, even one could deter the Nine-Sect, let alone seven?

He quickly used both hands to receive them, only to find his hands occupied with the Low Grade Dust Heart Pills, hurriedly tossing them to Elder Wen Hongyao:

"You take them to distribute among the young disciples."

Wen Hongyao had a temper second only to Qin Wangchuan’s.

How could she accept this handout?

She casually tossed it onto the table, saying: "Whoever wants them can take them, we at Medicine Peak have no use for them."

"If the Sect Master is really generous, give Medicine Peak a Jade Token."

Liu Wuchen hurriedly stuffed the Jade Tokens into his arms, chiding, "Jade Tokens are to be centrally held by the Sect Master."

"No peak is allowed to have designs on them!"

Qin Wangchuan and the others laughed heartily.

Their faces were full of smiles.

Even Feng Guchan was grinning from ear to ear, saying: "Our Green Cloud Sect’s future indeed looks bright."

"Speaking of revival, it’s no empty talk!"

"In at most ten years, the Green Cloud Sect will undergo an earth-shaking transformation!"

He looked at Liu Wuchen, for the first time sincerely admitting defeat, saying: "Sect Master, I really can’t compare to you."

"Thank you for bringing us such an outstanding disciple to the Green Cloud Sect."

"From now on, I won’t contend with you for the position of Sect Master."

With Jiang Fan as a stabilizing pillar, who could challenge Liu Wuchen’s position as Sect Master?

These words undoubtedly made Chen Jing’s face look bad.

Looking again at the bottles of Low Grade Dust Heart Pills left on the table, unheeded, comparing them to Jiang Fan’s seven Nascent Soul One-Strike Jade Tokens,

Chen Jing felt quite embarrassed, clearing his throat: "Jiang Fan, I was just looking for you."

Jiang Fan looked at him coldly, calmly saying: "Senior Chen Jing, please speak."

He did not acknowledge the Green Cloud Sect, naturally, he wouldn’t go out of his way to call him anything like senior brother.

Chen Jing said: "My master True Word Venerable has something to discuss with you."

"Come with me for a trip."

Hmm?

True Word Venerable?

Divinity Transformation Realm?

Jiang Fan was startled, yet due to the bad impression of Chen Jing, he couldn’t help but have some preconceived negative impressions about this True Word Venerable.

He had some resistance in his heart, frowning slightly, "I have matters to attend to, let’s talk in a few days."

Chen Jing was stunned.

When a Venerate summons, who doesn’t immediately go?

This Jiang Fan actually said to wait a few days!

"Do you understand clearly? It’s a summons by the Venerate, and you still aren’t reporting quickly?"

Jiang Fan frowned, "Did the True Word Venerable say to go right away?"

"If not, just wait!"

Truly in urgency, the True Word Venerable would have come directly, how could he send a disciple to cross the Vast Sea so leisurely?

"You!" Chen Jing laughed in anger.

Never seen anyone who disregards a Venerate like this.

"Fine, I’ve delivered the message, do as you please!"

He liked this fellow disciple of the Green Cloud Sect even less now.

No brains at all!

Knowing he was a Four Apertures Nascent Soul senior brother of the same sect, instead of currying favor with kind words, he showed a cold attitude.

If he had pleased him, he might have considered asking his master for a reward of a tribulation opportunity.

So foolish, serves him right to be stuck in the Core Formation Realm forever!

Can’t understand why his master said he is stronger than me!

He’d have to be that mysterious person who survived the Infinite Blood Tribulation to be comparable!
