Chapter 771: Chapter 744: The Wet Soft Touch
A ray of spiritual light suddenly shone beside the shockingly ferocious Youming Venerable.
The Great Supreme Elder, who had been grasped in the hands of the Purple Jade Jiaolong, appeared next to her.
"When did you start studying the Dao of Space?" Youming Venerable asked with surprise and delight.
The Great Supreme Elder shook his head in confusion, himself unsure why he had been transported here.
The Purple Jade Jiaolong only felt its dragon claw, which had been tightly gripping the Great Supreme Elder, suddenly soften as though it had grasped a clump of wet and sticky substance.
A subsequent foul smell permeated from the dragon claw, the odor piercingly soulful.
"What is this!!"
The Purple Jade Jiaolong stared in disbelief at the indescribable thing in its grasp.
"This is a Divine Ability conceived by my disciple. Isn't it novel?"
The figure of Xu Fan appeared before the Great Supreme Elder and Youming Venerable.
"Elder and sister-in-law, return home. I'll take care of things here," said Xu Fan.
"I have a score to settle with this little mudfish," he added.
"Elder, congratulations on reaching the Mahayana stage. But I think we should first retreat. This Purple Jade Jiaolong is the most powerful among the Demon Clan. The three of us combined are no match for it," the Supreme Elder of the Thousand Spirit Sect interjected.
At this moment, the Purple Jade Jiaolong was still looking at the indescribable object in its hand.
This moment left it speechless with rage.
The once Invincible Monster Venerable, the most powerful among the Demon Clan, had been evaded by the enemy with a distraction, and now grappled over how to save face.
Regardless of its rag, it couldn't manage to confront the Artifact Refining Grandmaster in front of it.
"You just wait, our Demon Emperor will deal with you sooner or later!" Having roared, the Purple Jade Jiaolong tried to leave, recognizing the battle bore no further results.
"Did I tell you to leave?" Xu Fan voiced.
A bowl appeared upside down in the sky, straightaway squashing the Purple Jade Jiaolong.
The bowl gradually shrank, falling into Xu Fan's hand.
There were clear waters in the bowl, and within the water was a small mudfish, baring its teeth at Xu Fan.
The Great Supreme Elder and Youming Venerable were stunned in shock.
Their sect, unlike the Elders' Association, did not have a comprehensive intelligence system covering the entire Cultivation World.
Therefore, they did not know that Xu Fan had previously clashed with the Purple Jade Jiaolong.
"Great Supreme Elder, sister-in-law, in some time, our Hidden Spirit Sect will hold a Dragon and Tiger Banquet. Invitations will be sent, and we hope the Great Supreme Elder and sister-in-law will honor us with their presence," Xu Fan said with a smile.
Both of them nodded mechanically, still unable to recover from what had just transpired.
"I've caught the little mudfish, and a little tiger, too. Time is of the essence, so I'll take my leave first," said Xu Fan, and with one step he disappeared in front of them.
It took quite a while for the Great Supreme Elder and Youming Venerable to recover.
"I just saw the Elder suppress the Purple Jade Jiaolong with a wave of his hand," said the Great Supreme Elder in a subdued voice.
"I saw it too, sufficient to prove this isn't an illusion."
"Who would have thought that the Elder, impressive in artifact refining, would also be so strong in combat," Youming Venerable remarked.
"From what I saw, in terms of aura and sophistication in his moves, the Elder was in no way inferior to the previous Supreme," the Great Supreme Elder commented.
"Regardless, we husband and wife owe the Elder a great favor for saving our lives," Youming Venerable said.
The Great Supreme Elder nodded in agreement.
When Xu Fan returned to the Hidden Spirit Sect, a little tiger had joined him.
"Master, you're back. Did you get hurt this trip?" The disciples asked with concern.
"Now that I've already completed all the tasks in this world, even the Heavenly Dao can't treat me any differently. Not to mention a few demons." Xu Fan said with a smile.
A large ceramic bowl appeared in Xu Fan's hand.
"Take this bowl filled with little mudfish and that little tiger to the cafeteria, let the master chef and those two culinary disciples study them well. Let's have a Dragon and Tiger Banquet." Xu Fan said with a smile.
Having the Invincible Demon Venerable as the main course would surely be extravagant.
"Master, is this eel in your bowl a Purple Jade Jiaolong?"
"And this little tiger - is it the Gold Devouring Demon Lord?" Li Xingci suddenly asked.
"Correct. I had originally wanted to bring over the avatar of the Golden Winged Roc as well, but alas, that silly bird detonated itself. We'll have to make do with a Dragon and Tiger Banquet." Xu Fan said, feeling a bit regretful.
"I will deliver them right now." Wang Xiangchi took the large bowl from Xu Fan's hands and picked up the little tiger from the ground, flying towards the cafeteria.
Xu Fan watched his disciples, smiling and waving his hand, letting them go on with their business.
When he returned to his familiar little courtyard, and lay down on the familiar recliner.
Xu Fan lay on the recliner, completely relaxing his body.
From the moment he ended his closed-door cultivation until now, he had been busy for such a long time. Finally, he can rest.
"Long-term closed-door cultivation really isn't suitable for humans." Xu Fan took a deep breath and said.
Battle for him is not tiring, what made him tired was the feeling of loneliness and silence that arises during closed-door cultivation.
"Being idle is much better, no need to think or do anything."
Xu Fan quietly watched the sky, soothing the wounds sustained from forcibly shutting himself in for cultivation.
A month later, Xu Fan was going fishing with his good brothers.
He received a message that Ming Kong had come to visit.
Xu Fan gathered his fishing rod and stood up, "We have guests. I'll go and greet them."
Outside the welcoming hall, Ming Kong first praised the two specimens of the Saint Lion Clan at the entrance.
"I originally thought about getting two live ones, but later I thought that the cost might be a bit high, so I just decided to make them into specimens." Xu Fan said with a laugh.
Inside the welcoming hall, Ming Kong explained his purpose for visiting.
"Thank you for your kind intentions, Elder Ming Kong, but I truly cannot accept being the number one elder in the Elders Association."
"I am a lazy person who enjoys freedom and I don't like being bound by too many things." Xu Fan waved his head and said.
"However, when the Human Clan and the Elders Association face difficulty, I will definitely lend a helping hand."
Ming Kong expressed regret, but he did not insist.
A Space Ring appeared in Ming Kong's hand.
"I know that Grandmasters need Time Heavy Treasures, these are all found from the Demon Clan. I hope Grandmaster will accept them."
"As gratitude for saving our Elders Association." Ming Kong gratefully said.
Xu Fan was not polite and directly asked Xu Gang who was next to him to receive it.
"Although there are still disasters caused by the Demon Clan in the Immortal World, the overall power is stable now."
"Once our Sequence Elder from the Elder's Council has healed his wounds, we will join hands to sweep the Demon World and unify the Human and Demon Realms."
"If the Great Master is not afraid of trouble, you can take this opportunity to expand your sect." Ming Kong said with a laugh.
"Having these disciples is enough, there's no need to expand anymore."
"By the way, Elder Ming Kong, since humans have unified both realms, what do you plan to do with the Nine Phoenix Dynasty?" Xu Fan suddenly asked curiously.
"We will treat them equally, without bias. But we must restrict their whole nation's cultivation."
"If we let them do as they please, it may lead to a variation in the Heavenly Dao, causing another disaster for the Human Clan."
