Chapter 4440: Kill the Ghost Fire Envoy

"Hehe… if that's the case, then that's for the best. Rest assured, the Heavenly Court will not scam you." Lin Tuo smiled.

"But I…"

"No 'buts.' Did you hear me? This is an order…"

"…"

Lin Tuo's attitude was firm; he did not give Xiao Fan any chance to refuse.

Killing the Ghost Fire Envoy was an important step in the Heavenly Court's current plan. As for Xiao Fan… once the Ghost Fire Envoy was truly dead, his survival would be up to fate.

Of course.

Lin Tuo would certainly not tell Xiao Fan these words.

"Alright, I understand." Xiao Fan nodded.

"Alright, you may leave now…" Lin Tuo smiled.

The next moment, the scene around Xiao Fan changed, and he soon arrived on the flying boat.

The Lin Tuo before him was gone, and Zi Jiancheng, dressed in golden armor, was by his side.

"My Lord, how did it go?!" Zi Jiancheng asked.

Xiao Fan exhaled, slightly sensing his surroundings. Just now, his Divine Thought had been pulled to the Heavenly Court, but in reality, not even a single breath of time had passed in the outside world.

Power of Space, Power of Time… The Heavenly Court had mastered two types of Forbidden Power of Laws, and even Xiao Fan could not refuse them.

Terrifying!

The terror of the Heavenly Court shattered Xiao Fan's perception.

Originally, Xiao Fan thought that his mastery of the Three Forbidden Powers had reached a state of perfection, but it turned out he was far inferior.

"It was nothing… How long has the Heavenly Court arranged for you to be by my side?" Xiao Fan exhaled and looked at Zi Jiancheng to the side.

"Not long, hehe… but I have been part of the Ghost Mansion for a very long time." Zi Jiancheng smiled.

"How long have you been in the Ghost Mansion?"

"I've forgotten… probably over 300,000 years." Zi Jiancheng thought for a moment and said in a low voice.

Hearing Zi Jiancheng's answer, Xiao Fan was stunned on the spot. Judging by Zi Jiancheng's bone age, he should only be about 300,000 years old.

Could it be that he went to the Nether Ghost Mansion to work as a mole the moment he started?!

"My Lord, is something wrong?!" Zi Jiancheng asked curiously.

"Hehe… nothing, I was just a bit curious about when you joined the Heavenly Court."

"As for when I joined the Heavenly Court, this…" Zi Jiancheng hesitated, clearly having secrets he did not want to divulge.

"What? Can't you say?" Xiao Fan smiled.

"My Lord, please forgive me, but this is the highest secret of the Heavenly Court and cannot be spoken of." Zi Jiancheng shook his head.

"Hehe… fine, I won't make things difficult for you." Xiao Fan smiled.

"Then, My Lord, I will take my leave." Zi Jiancheng cupped his fists, turned around, and intended to leave.

What mission Xiao Fan had accepted had nothing to do with Zi Jiancheng; his mission was simply to give the jade ring to Xiao Fan.

Now, Zi Jiancheng's mission was complete, and subsequent matters had nothing to do with him…

Seeing Zi Jiancheng about to leave, Xiao Fan's gaze turned cold, but after hesitating for a moment, he suppressed it.

If he suppressed Zi Jiancheng now, it would definitely cause a huge commotion.

It would easily expose his own identity, but Xiao Fan could tell that Zi Jiancheng definitely had some secrets.

And these secrets must be among the secrets of the Heavenly Court.

After Zi Jiancheng left, Xiao Fan exhaled, his expression gloomy.

"Damn it… the Heavenly Court is forcing me!"

The Heavenly Court wanted him to kill the Ghost Fire Envoy Sha Mushi, which would definitely anger the Ghost Lord. How would the Heavenly Court protect him then?!

What should he do then?!

If the Ghost Lord wanted to kill him, who could stop him?!

Xiao Fan did not believe that the Heavenly Court would save him after he killed Sha Mushi.

When that time came, if the Ghost Lord wanted to kill him, and he admitted he was a person of the Heavenly Court, the Ghost Lord would probably strike even harder.

Either way, he had no way to survive. He did not have the secrets of the Heavenly Court, so even if he fell into the hands of the Ghost Lord, he would have no bargaining chips to save his life.

The result was death either way!

For Xiao Fan, it was bound to be a terrible outcome…

But if he did not kill Sha Mushi, would the Heavenly Court let him go?!

Definitely not!

When that time came, the Heavenly Court might expose his identity, and while enraging the Ghost Mansion, they would also conveniently eliminate him.

To the Heavenly Court, he might just be a pawn to be used.
