Grasping the Evil-Chapter 766: A Deadly Disaster from the Golden Guard
Just one heartbeat, yet it stirred the entire star domain in an instant!
The tremor was extremely faint, yet undeniably present!
Just by hearing a heartbeat, Ning Fan actually felt like he gained several years of cultivation!
The heartbeat suddenly vanished, and the entire star domain stopped trembling, as if the tremor never existed.
Ning Fan’s gaze sharpened, his brows furrowed, and he remained silent.
At the moment the heartbeat ceased, Ning Fan clearly heard the whisper of an ancient god.
That whisper can only be heard by ancient gods with a heart portal!
"Save... me..."
Among the heartbeat, there was actually a cry for help!
Help...
"That’s the sound! Fellow Daoist Ning, did you hear it, that sound, that sound!"
Xuekongzi’s eyes revealed extreme excitement!
When he heard the heartbeat, his cultivation also slightly improved, although not as much as Ning Fan’s, it was enough to excite him greatly!
Listening to this heartbeat can greatly enhance one’s cultivation, if one gets closer to the heartbeat, listens several times, dozens of times, hundreds of times, what kind of explosive growth in cultivation could be achieved!
If the source of this heartbeat can be found, it might lead to great opportunities and rapidly boost one’s cultivation!
In order to find the great opportunity hidden behind the heartbeat, Xuekongzi decisively chose to stay in the Flowing Sand Star Domain, knowing the dangers of the demon tide, to help the Flowing Sand Clan fight against it!
Other cultivators who joined the Alliance to Exterminate Demons mostly held the same mindset!
They risked danger to stay with the Flowing Sand Clan for their own opportunities.
Yet, they couldn’t hear the cry for help hidden beneath the heartbeat...
Ning Fan’s eyes gradually turned obscure and unfathomable, not as joyful as Xuekongzi and others.
He was contemplating, pondering the nature of the cry for help.
An ancient god’s heartbeat echoing across the star domain, the mysterious cry for help of the ancient god hidden beneath the heartbeat, the suddenly collapsing Immortal Mountains, the sudden appearance of countless Ancient Divine Chests, the suddenly emerging grand demon tide...
The den of the demon tide is in the Flowing Sand Star Sea, there is where the ancient god’s heartbeat emanates...
"...This demon tide seems more complicated than it appears..." Ning Fan deeply furrowed his brow.
The Ancient God’s Temporal Cave might not simply be an opportunity.
Perhaps, it holds some unknown danger...
"Hehe, what does Fellow Daoist Ning think of the ancient heartbeat? Is it a great opportunity?" Xuekongzi asked with a smile.
"Hmm, listening to this heartbeat can increase our cultivation, it’s indeed quite an opportunity." However, the dangers might be just as numerous.
He didn’t reveal the latter half of the sentence to Xuekongzi.
He had old ties with Xuekongzi, but their relationship wasn’t close enough to entrust life and death. He wouldn’t reveal his secret of being an ancient god capable of hearing ancient god whispers to Xuekongzi.
When necessary, he would remind Xuekongzi to be cautious of the Flowing Sand Star Sea, but couldn’t bring himself to disclose all secrets to Xuekongzi.
After exchanging a few more words, mostly expressing gratitude and praise toward Ning Fan, Xuekongzi and others then led Ning Fan on the journey back to the Flowing Sand Clan.
The Flowing Sand Star Domain is now divided, the north controlled by demon tribes, the south being a refuge and counterattack zone for humanity.
The area where Ning Fan entered the Flowing Sand Star Domain actually lies at the border of the north and south regions.
The group roughly flew towards the southern region, guided by the Inlaid Star Compass to pinpoint the exact direction.
As they gradually entered the southern region, the starry sky no longer showed half-ruined Cultivation Stars or corpses of humans and beasts scattered across.
Along the way, there were Void Fragmentation experts from the Alliance of Ming Assassins patrolling, who would immediately salute upon seeing Xuekongzi and the others.
Ning Fan traveled with Xuekongzi, his Fate Immortal aura concealed yet unmistakably within the realm of the second step cultivators.
Patrolling experts, upon hearing from Xuekongzi that Ning Fan came to join the Alliance of Ming Assassins as a Fate Immortal, would no longer question Ning Fan’s identity.
Their gaze towards Ning Fan was filled with admiration and reverence.
The second step Immortal is something they can aspire to but never achieve in their lifetime.
A day later, the group arrived at the main star of the Flowing Sand Star Domain, the Flowing Sand Star.
This is an Upper-Level Cultivation Star, appearing from afar like a giant yellow fruit pit, with uneven surface.
Only when closer can one see that this star is dominated by weathered mountain and stone terrains, a star with scarce vegetation, yet rich in Earth Spirit Qi, best suited for cultivating Earth-based Techniques.
Near this star, Ning Fan faintly sensed a unique aura emanating from the star.
Like an invisible force washed over him upon entering the vicinity of the Flowing Sand Star.
That force was an extremely faint power of time.
Time... it’s the power of time, which weathered the entire Flowing Sand Star, altering its terrain!
"Hehe, the Flowing Sand Clan can count as a large clan with ancient heritage. Although the current clan leader’s cultivation is only at the Initial Stage of Crossing Truth, unable to glorify the clan in the Eastern Heaven, the Flowing Sand Clan was very powerful in ancient times. It’s said the founder of the Flowing Sand Clan was an Eternal Immortal Venerable, whose Dao was achieved in the Flowing Sand Star Domain, once predicting the time with a single finger, weathering all Cultivation Stars in the Flowing Sand Star Domain, causing rivers to dry up, vegetation to wither, and mountains to weather into rubble... That divine skill didn’t destroy the star domain, but caused the Earth Elemental Force to surge across all Cultivation Stars, making it extremely suitable for cultivating Earth-based Techniques..."
"In later generations, the Flowing Sand Clan gradually declined and lacked outstanding figures, the only talent being the Flowing Sand Daoist who perished 9 million years ago, reversing 10,000 years with one finger, erasing an Immortal Venerable’s 10,000 years of Dao enlightenment..."
Xuekongzi explained the cause of the Flowing Sand Star’s terrain, turning humble when mentioning those legendary heroes of ancient times.
He greatly revered those ancient heroes, yearning to have been born in their era.
"One finger to weather the whole star domain..."
Ning Fan raised his hand, the power of the Wind Mist Finger quietly flowing through his fingers in a trace of purple-golden color.
The Wind Mist Finger is activated by the Power of Reincarnation, and the Power of Reincarnation is a supreme divine skill, even an Immortal Emperor at the peak of the second step can hardly glimpse its mysteries.
This power is far beyond what Ning Fan can currently control.
And the Power of Reincarnation includes the power of time.
The power of time is the power of time, opposing the power of space.
Ning Fan pondered deeply, reincarnation is beyond his grasp, but time might not be impossible.
If he can enhance his Dao Enlightenment in time, using the power of time to invoke the Wind Mist Finger, it might also weather everything.
Weathering is a finger of flowing sand, aging is a segment of time...
The "flowing sand" in the Flowing Sand Star Domain perhaps signifies this time divine skill that weathers everything.
After further introductions, Xuekongzi and the others led Ning Fan into the Flowing Sand Star.
Currently, the entire Flowing Sand Star is vast and sparsely populated, with almost no people except the patrolling alliance cultivators.
The once bustling cultivation cities and trade cities have now become silent empty cities.
All the people have moved into the hidden small residual realm within the Flowing Sand Star - the Flowing Sand Realm.
Upon seeing Xuekongzi and others enter the star, a team of golden-armored cultivators immediately flew over.
This team of golden-armored cultivators consists of twenty people, and each of them is a Fate Immortal.
The leader is an old man at the peak of the Human Profound Realm in golden armor, with a slightly arrogant expression.
"Commander Xue, weren’t you leading a team on a secret mission? You weren’t expected back for several months, so why have you returned so soon? Did the mission fail?" The golden-armored old man’s tone was somewhat stern.
With one glance, he saw that Xuekongzi and others were almost all seriously injured.
They set out with a team of twenty Fate Immortals, but only eight have returned. Could the remaining twelve be dead...
Wait!
The golden-armored old man’s gaze suddenly fell on Ning Fan!
Only then did he notice that Ning Fan was not among the twenty people of Xuekongzi’s squad.
"Who is this person?" The golden-armored old man’s tone was full of questioning.
"Grand Commander Kunyun, allow me to report..."
Xuekongzi sighed lightly and informed the old man in monk’s robe of the ambush their squad experienced, being chased by a horde of demons, and how they were rescued by Ning Fan.
This golden-armored old man’s Daoist title is Kunyunzi, one of the twenty-four grand commanders of the Demon-hunting Alliance.
The Demon-hunting Alliance has four hierarchs, twelve vice hierarchical lords, twenty-four grand commanders, seventy-two commanders, and over three hundred Fate Immortals, with two hundred thousand in the Void Fragmentation!
Xuekongzi’s position in the alliance was below Kunyunzi, so his tone was naturally very respectful.
Kunyunzi was arrogant by nature, with cultivation and status both higher than Xuekongzi, so he wouldn’t be polite to Xuekongzi.
On first hearing that Xuekongzi’s squad was ambushed, with thirteen Fate Immortals, seven dead and six injured, Kunyunzi was furious, wanting to accuse Xuekongzi of poor leadership.
But after listening to the entire process of the ambush, Kunyunzi’s anger gradually dissipated, his brows furrowed deeply.
It did not seem like an accident, nor was it Xuekongzi’s responsibility that Xuekongzi’s squad was ambushed, almost wiped out.
Xuekongzi and others were on a secret mission, with their whereabouts known to few, yet just after leaving the southern region, they were ambushed by a horde of demons, thirteen of the team dead and six injured...
It seemed that their whereabouts had been exposed even before Xuekongzi and the others left the southern region.
In that case, there must indeed be a demon accomplice within the Flowing Sand Clan, and not just Xuekongzi’s squad has been ambushed...
Knowing that the mission’s failure was not Xuekongzi’s fault, Kunyunzi’s expression softened considerably.
Upon hearing that Xuekongzi and others were rescued by Ning Fan’s solo efforts, Kunyunzi cast a skeptical glance at Ning Fan.
With his peak Human Profound Realm cultivation, he couldn’t see through Ning Fan’s true realm.
He could hardly imagine that Ning Fan could single-handedly slaughter five hundred fierce beasts...
"This Ning Daoist truly slew five hundred fierce beasts, twenty-two of them Fate Immortal beasts, all by himself? And among those Fate Immortal beasts, there was even one at the early Ghost Profound Realm?" Kunyunzi looked at Ning Fan with suspicion.
"Yes, this Ning Daoist indeed relied on his own power..." Xuekongzi was about to elaborate on Ning Fan’s strength to Kunyunzi when a powerful aura suddenly surged forth, interrupting Xuekongzi’s words.
That aura was released by Ning Fan!
Under this aura, all twenty golden-armored Fate Immortals, including Kunyunzi, were shocked and unable to resist Ning Fan’s aura, retreating several steps before steadying themselves, their expressions drastically changed.
"Ghost Profound Early Stage! This Ning Daoist is actually a Fate Immortal in the Ghost Profound Realm!"
"This person is undoubtedly at the Ghost Profound Early Stage, but I’ve never seen anyone at the Ghost Profound Early Stage with such a powerful aura! I fear even those at the Ghost Profound Late Stage may not possess such a formidable aura!"
Kunyunzi’s arrogant expression had long been replaced by a look of shock.
After a long moment, realizing how undignified his current expression was, he quickly cupped his fists toward Ning Fan, forcing out a somewhat unnatural smile.
"I never expected Ning Daoist to be a Fate Immortal in the Ghost Profound Realm, my apologies, my apologies!"
"Daoist Kunyun is too kind. Before coming to the Flowing Sand Clan, Fellow Daoist Xue already mentioned Daoist Kunyun’s reputation to me, saying that Daoist Kunyun excels in Black Buddha Sect’s Secret Techniques and once fought evenly with a Ghost Profound Early Stage while at the Human Profound Peak. If possible, I’d like to learn a few moves from Daoist Kunyun." Ning Fan said with a smile.
On the way to the Flowing Sand Star, Xuekongzi had already informed Ning Fan of the details of the cultivators above the commander level in the Demon-hunting Alliance.
"Hehe, Ning Daoist jests, I have always been a good judge of character, and if I’m not mistaken, though your realm is at the Ghost Profound Early Stage, your mana is as deep as that of a Late Ghost Profound. Your profound mana, I’m afraid I’m no match for you."
Kunyunzi’s eyes widened slightly, surprised that Ning Fan seemed to know about him, feeling a bit pleased inside.
After a few polite exchanges, he didn’t dwell on the topic, instead asking about Ning Fan’s intentions for being here.
Upon hearing that Ning Fan intended to enter the Flowing Sand Realm and join the Demon-hunting Alliance, Kunyunzi was delighted.
A powerful cultivator like Ning Fan is of great significance to the Demon-hunting Alliance, and his joining would greatly aid in hunting demons.
"Since Ning Daoist intends to join the Demon-hunting Alliance, let’s return to the Flowing Sand Realm together with Fellow Daoist Xue. The failure of Fellow Daoist Xue’s mission must be reported to the four hierarchs, so let’s enter the Flowing Sand Realm."
With that said, Kunyunzi took out a yellow token and cast a spell on it, chanting words.
A few moments later, a yellow elliptical light gate, about a hundred feet tall, suddenly appeared at the barren mountain rock.
Inside the light gate was a world of its own, the Flowing Sand Realm.
"Please, Ning Daoist!"
With those words, Kunyunzi ordered the other golden-armored cultivators to continue their patrol, then personally escorted Ning Fan, Xuekongzi, and others back to the Flowing Sand Realm.
Once everyone entered the light gate, it disappeared.
Before them unfolded an endless golden desert, with numerous sand soil cities built upon it.
Occasionally, huge cone-shaped stone golden towers were built on the desert.
Outside those golden towers often stood solemn sphinx statues.
The golden towers exuded an aura of death that lingered, as if some had attained enlightenment in these towers...
"These are the Towers of Reincarnation of the Flowing Sand Clan. When a powerful member of the Flowing Sand Clan nears death, they return to this tower to ascend to enlightenment. This tradition is said to have started from the time of the Flowing Sand Clan’s ancestor."
Seeing Ning Fan’s curiosity about these golden towers, Kunyunzi and Xuekongzi took turns explaining the culture and traditions of the Flowing Sand Clan to him.
Flying over stretches of desert, Ning Fan’s group encountered many cultivators from the Demon-hunting Alliance, as well as many from the Flowing Sand Clan.
Most of the Demon-hunting Alliance cultivators were not from the Flowing Sand Clan, but hired by them, their attire no different from the majority of Eastern Celestial Cultivators.
The attire of the Flowing Sand Clan members differed greatly from the Eastern Celestial Cultivators.
Flowing Sand Clan male cultivators usually preferred to go shirtless, often adorning themselves with gold ornaments encrusted with luxurious gemstones.
Flowing Sand Clan women liked to cover their faces with light veils and also favored wearing gold jewelry.
Their attire was much more revealing and bold compared to regular Dong Tian female cultivators.
Their lotus-like arms, calves, and abdomens dared to be exposed, and their skin was not as fair as ordinary women, but had a faint bronze tint.
Though their dress differed from the Dong Tian style, their demeanor and behavior were no different from Eastern Celestial Cultivators.
As soon as Kunyunzi and the others returned, all cultivators along the way, whether part of the Exterminate Demon Alliance or the Flowing Sand Clan, greeted Kunyunzi and the others respectfully.
In the depths of the desert, there stood a giant golden metropolis covering tens of thousands of miles.
At the city gates, two sphinxes of Ghost Profound Realm guarded each side, not statues, but living creatures.
These were sacred guardian beasts unique to the Flowing Sand Clan, only this clan possessed such exotic beasts, though they were few, with only eight remaining in the entire clan.
Kunyunzi and his party approached from the south, entering the golden metropolis through the southern gate.
As soon as Kunyunzi, Xuekongzi, and others, who were not from the Flowing Sand Clan, were about to enter the city, the two sphinxes guarding the southern gate showed arrogance and let out a low growl, seemingly disdainful.
Kunyunzi, Xuekongzi, and the others seemed accustomed to the sphinxes’ disdainful gaze, showing no emotional fluctuation.
Ning Fan just slightly raised his eyes, giving the two sphinxes a bland look.
He didn’t deliberately exert the majesty of the demon ancestor bloodline or the pressure of the king blood divine blood, just a calm gaze that made the blood of the two sphinxes boil without reason!
Their gaze towards Ning Fan carried a faint hint of awe and fear!
Then, they even slowly knelt, bowing to Ning Fan!
"Divine Beasts, if demonic mounts cultivate the path of the divine, they can shed their demonic forms and become Divine Beasts..."
Ning Fan looked at the two beasts with great interest, then entered the golden metropolis.
Behind him, Kunyunzi, Xuekongzi, and the other Fate Immortals were all extremely shocked.
Were they not fully awake? The usually proud sphinxes actually knelt to Ning Fan?! How was that possible!
Even when facing the current Flowing Sand Clan leader, these sphinxes would not alter their arrogant demeanor, much less kneel to anyone.
What divine skill had Ning Fan used to make the sphinxes behave so atypically!
"Fellow Daoist Ning, that scene just now..." Kunyunzi and Xuekongzi asked with confusion.
"Nothing happened just now." Ning Fan smiled, saying nothing more about what had just occurred.
Seeing Ning Fan did not wish to elaborate, Kunyunzi, Xuekongzi, and the others sensibly refrained from questioning further, but they felt more and more that Ning Fan was unfathomable.
Perhaps, this time an incredible reinforcement had come to the Flowing Sand Clan.
With Kunyunzi leading the way, they traversed the golden metropolis almost unobstructed.
Occasionally, when patrollers questioned them, upon hearing that Ning Fan was a Ghost Profound powerful individual intending to join the Exterminate Demon Alliance, they dared not hinder Ning Fan and the others.
In the central area of the metropolis, there was a cone-shaped golden hall, which used to be the place where the Flowing Sand Clan Leader cultivated in seclusion, but now it served as the headquarters of the Exterminate Demon Alliance.
Kunyunzi led Xuekongzi and his group into the golden hall while Ning Fan awaited outside for the summons of the four Alliance Hierarchs of the Exterminate Demon Alliance.
The attack on Xuekongzi’s team needed to be reported first before Ning Fan’s accession matter could be presented to the four Alliance Hierarchs.
Before being summoned by the four Alliance Hierarchs, Ning Fan could only patiently wait outside the golden hall.
He was in no hurry, quietly dispersing his spirit sense to search for the location of the Flowing Sand Clan’s temple within the great city.
Not finding the clan’s temple within the Flowing Sand Clan, Ning Fan extended his spirit sense out of the golden metropolis, surveying the boundless desert.
The Flowing Sand Realm, though a fragmentary Void Realm, was vast in size.
Even if Ning Fan utilized the Heaven Prying Rain Technique, it would still be impossible to use one spell to perceive the entire Void Realm.
Currently, Ning Fan did not deploy the Rain Technique, only using spirit sense to search for the temple, which naturally limited the search area.
He did not use the Rain Technique to search for the temple.
In the rainfall-scarce Flowing Sand Realm, rashly using the Rain Technique could easily alarm the strong figures of the Flowing Sand Clan.
Estimating that he couldn’t find the Flowing Sand Clan’s temple momentarily, Ning Fan temporarily set aside the idea of stealing the incense and observed the customs and manners of the Flowing Sand Clan.
Flowing Sand Clan women dressed boldly but had a very conservative nature. Occasionally, some Flowing Sand female cultivators, admiring Ning Fan’s handsome appearance, did not dare to recklessly approach him, only dared to secretly glance at him from a distance, blushing shyly.
On the contrary, a few alliance female cultivators, seeing Ning Fan’s extraordinary bearing, approached him proactively but were quickly dismissed by Ning Fan with a few words.
An hour passed, yet Kunyunzi and the others had not come out of the hall.
Two hours passed, and Ning Fan was still waiting outside the hall.
Having experienced the customs of the Flowing Sand Clan, Ning Fan closed his eyes, feeling the Dao rhyme of the power of time in the Flowing Sand Realm.
Elegance is a finger of flowing sand, and aging is a lapse of years...
If he could comprehend the power of time, and wield the Wind Mist Finger with it, this finger might once again become a trump card in his arsenal.
At this moment, Ning Fan’s heart was exceptionally calm, and the hubbub of worldly matters gradually faded into nothingness.
In his ears, there was only the sibilant sound of windswept sand across the desert.
It seemed he could hear the sound of ancient rocks standing in the desert, slowly eroding into sand particles.
A single finger of flowing sand encapsulates a lapse of years.
What truly erodes the rocks is not the wind, but time!
What truly decays eons is simply time!
Time is indeed the essence of the temporal flow...
In this moment, Ning Fan’s heart gradually harmonized with the entire Flowing Sand Realm.
A strand of the Blood of Time within him suddenly heated up, growing fervent.
A trace of the power of time was slowly forming within him!
At this key moment of Dao enlightenment, an extremely grating voice shattered Ning Fan’s serene state, drawing him back from his Dao understanding.
"You must be Ning Fan!"
Ning Fan opened his eyes, his gaze slightly cold, turned around, and indifferently said, "Who might you be?"
The speaker was a group of male cultivators with bare torsos, totaling twenty, the weakest being at the Life Immortal Realm!
The leader among them was a cultivator of the Late Ghost Profound Realm!
These men, bare-chested from their dress, seemed to be members of the Flowing Sand Clan.
Yet, they all bore the emblem unique to the Alliance of Ming Assassins.
This indicated that these individuals were not only members of the Flowing Sand Clan but also Alliance cultivators.
The late-stage Ghost Profound cultivator was a bald man wearing pure gold earrings.
His gaze towards Ning Fan carried an air of scrutiny and indifference, but beneath that indifference was a faint hint of hatred.
Hatred! What kind of grudge could he have with Ning Fan!
Although this trace of hatred was deeply hidden, it did not escape Ning Fan’s eyes.
Ning Fan’s eyes grew colder, knowing that this visitor harbored ill intentions, though he didn’t know when he had offended this person.
Upon hearing Ning Fan inquiring about his identity, the bald man merely curled his lips into a cold smile without answering Ning Fan’s question but instead spoke harshly,
"Since you don’t recognize me, it seems I’ve found the right person! I am Lalu, an elder of the Flowing Sand Clan, and of course, I have another identity, which is the Vice Alliance Leader of the Exterminate Demon Alliance! I heard you want to join the Exterminate Demon Alliance, and even compete for the Vice Alliance Leader position!"
Ning Fan did not answer Lalu’s question, furrowing his brows even deeper, he turned and left.
This person was clearly here to cause trouble, and Ning Fan came to the Flowing Sand Realm with the sole intention of stealing incense, and before doing so, he did not wish to involve himself in other troubles.
Seeing Ning Fan dare to ignore him, Lalu’s gaze turned sinister, his eyes filled with even more hatred, he coldly said,
"Are you trying to run away? According to the Exterminate Demon Alliance’s rules, there can only be twelve Vice Alliance Leaders at most, if you truly want to join the alliance and become a Vice Alliance Leader, you need to oust one person and take his position! Ning Fan, do you dare to make a bet with me? If you can win against me in one or two moves, I will willingly hand over the Vice Alliance Leader position to you! If you can’t withstand even one move from me, then you deserve to die!"
Ning Fan’s gaze grew colder still, but he did not stop his steps from leaving.
Although he disliked Lalu’s conduct and character, he would not be driven to murder just because of the other’s provocation.
Cultivation is not meant to bully the weak.
"Hmph! How dare you repeatedly ignore me, you’re asking for death! All of you, attack together, capture this man, and await my orders!" With Lalu’s command, the nineteen Fate Immortals of the Flowing Sand Clan instantly transformed into nineteen rays of golden light, with a flash of their figures, they surrounded Ning Fan tightly.
Without any superfluous words, the nineteen Fate Immortals simultaneously activated a secret technique, each one of them emanating a brilliant golden light, with an extremely powerful light of the True Sun rising from their bodies, dazzling and blinding!
The light of the True Sun transformed into a dazzling golden formation array, trapping Ning Fan within.
The nineteen Fate Immortals waved their large hands, and the golden light condensed into giant golden swords held in their grip, slashing down towards Ning Fan who was in the center of the formation!
The overwhelming might of the nineteen auras instantly spread throughout the entire Golden Metropolis, even in some Sand Cities far from the metropolis, many people sensed the aura of the nineteen Fate Immortals!
"This power of the True Sun... there’s no mistake! It’s the Golden Guard of the Flowing Sand Clan! They’re bullying the alliance cultivators again!" Many alliance cultivators in the Golden Metropolis frowned and said.
Among these nineteen Fate Immortals, seven were at the Human Profound Initial Stage, five were at Human Profound Middle Stage, three were at Human Profound Advanced Stage, and three were at Human Profound Peak.
And one person was at the Ghost Profound Early Stage cultivation!
These nineteen individuals belonged to the Golden Guard of the Flowing Sand Clan, and took orders from the Golden Guard Leader — Lalu!
Lalu despised alliance cultivators and often used his identity as a member of the Flowing Sand Clan to oppress them.
The Exterminate Demon Alliance was a force recruited by the Flowing Sand Clan Leader, and within the alliance, members of the Flowing Sand Clan had a special status, and ordinary people didn’t dare provoke them.
Not to mention Lalu’s special identity as an elder of the Flowing Sand Clan or his position as Vice Alliance Leader, just speaking of Lalu’s late-stage Ghost Profound cultivation, very few dared to offend Lalu.
Even if one was unfortunate enough to be oppressed and bullied by Lalu, they could only grin and bear it.
Perceiving that Lalu’s Golden Guard was causing trouble in the city, many alliance cultivators guessed that Lalu was acting against someone in the alliance again, and most of them used their spirit sense to observe but no one stepped forward to help Ning Fan.
No one would offend Lalu for the sake of a stranger like Ning Fan.
In everyone’s eyes, Ning Fan being besieged by nineteen Fate Immortals, whether he did not die, he would surely be severely injured.
"You all have gone too far!"
Ning Fan’s eyes flared with icy light, soaring to a peak!
Although he didn’t like trouble, he wasn’t afraid of it either!
With a cold laugh, Ning Fan took a step forward, and the aura of Ghost Profound Early Stage swept outward, shaking the entire Golden Metropolis violently!
An unimaginable force of collapse emanated from under Ning Fan’s feet with wild eyes, countless cracks appeared on the ground, numerous buildings collapsed under this step, and numerous cultivators scrambled in extreme embarrassment to escape from beneath the collapsing buildings, staring at Ning Fan in horror, exclaiming,
"Ghost Profound Early Stage! This man is actually a Ghost Profound Fate Immortal!"
Under that collapsing force, the True Sun Formation Array shattered instantly into golden light.
The nineteen Fate Immortals’ expressions changed, but they fiercely slashed down their golden swords nevertheless.
Ning Fan laughed up at the sky, his eyes like a demon, black hair wildly dancing!
With a wave of his large hand, nineteen massive hand seals condensed directly from mana were sent forth with a roar!
The nineteen golden swords shattered into shards of golden light, while the Golden Guard of nineteen Fate Immortals were all sent flying by the hand seals!
Eighteen Fate Immortals were instantly killed by the hand seals, their bodies exploding into blood mist!
Only the Ghost Profound Early Stage Fate Immortal managed to barely withstand the hand seal, yet his heart was filled with fear in an instant!
He used all his strength to barely withstand Ning Fan’s casual hand strike!
He could clearly see that the hand seal did not use any superfluous divine skills, but was merely a hand seal condensed by Ning Fan’s powerful mana!
Furthermore, each hand seal was divided into nineteen parts, each one less powerful than before.
Even so, among the nineteen Golden Guards, he was just lucky to be the only one who did not die under the hand seals!
Ning Fan’s strength far exceeded his imagination!
Ning Fan’s ruthlessness exceeded his imagination even more!
A Fate Immortal who was not yet part of the Exterminate Demon Alliance dared to publicly kill eighteen Golden Guards within the Flowing Sand Realm, truly bold and arrogant to the extreme!
Seeing Ning Fan destroy eighteen men with one strike, then raise his hand once more, preparing to send another hand seal towards him.
This Ghost Profound Early Stage individual, overwhelmed by fear, turned and fled in the direction of the bald man, exclaiming in panic, "Elder Lalu, save me!"
Lalu, at that moment, had eyes full of shock; he couldn’t have imagined that Ning Fan possessed such powerful strength!
No wonder Ning Fan could save Xuekongzi and others and could slaughter his beloved group of demons, so it’s like this...
"Is he really such a powerful figure! Even though he is at the Ghost Profound Early Stage, he has combat power comparable to the Ghost Profound Late Stage!"
After the shock, Lalu once again showed a vicious look in his eyes.
Ning Fan had first killed his five hundred demon beast subordinates, and then destroyed his eighteen Golden Guards, truly unforgivable!
His figure flickered, and Lalu suddenly appeared beside his Ghost Profound Early Stage subordinate, blocking him behind and looking coldly at Ning Fan,
"Today, you must die!"
"By your hand?" Ning Fan responded coldly, suddenly raising his hand to summon a Black Gold Sword Light.
At the moment this sword light appeared, an exceptionally dangerous feeling rose abruptly within Lalu, causing his eyes to undergo a drastic change!
