Grasping the Evil-Chapter 770: Art of Moving Heaven

In the golden palace, the atmosphere was extremely solemn.

Hanging on the wall was a map of the entire Flowing Sand Star Domain, with dozens of blood-red circles marked, whose significance was unknown.

The Flowing Sand Clan and the Exterminate Demon Alliance, who were previously at odds, were now united in mutual resentment, glaring at the group of formidable figures before them, filled with anger but unable to speak.

The group of nearly a hundred strong individuals all possessed cultivations above the Life Immortal Realm!

Seven of them had surpassed the True Immortal Realm!

Among the seven, three were at the Initial Stage of Crossing Truth Realm, two at the Mid Stage Enlightenment, one at the Late Stage Enlightenment, and one at the Peak Crossing Truth Realm!

However, the one in charge was not any of the True Immortals, but a black-clad girl with a black silk veil over her face.

Her cultivation was only at the Human Profound Initial Stage, yet no one there dared to offend her.

Simply because she held a very special identity—the Young Lord of the Godly Void Pavilion!

"Does the young lord not find her demands a bit excessive, using the lives of our Flowing Sand Clan and Alliance masters as bait to lure out the main force of the demon tide and eliminate them in one swift strike... While this can indeed quell the demon tide in the shortest time, what about those masters serving as bait? How are they to fare?"

Mux Tu restrained the look of resentment in his eyes, striving to keep his tone calm.

The black-clad girl was Xiao Qianci, the Young Lord of the Godly Void Pavilion, someone he dreamed of killing!

But he hadn’t achieved his grand design yet and could not attack Xiao Qianci or reveal his true cultivation and identity.

He never forgot that he was still a felon of the Godly Void Pavilion, a convict escaped from the ’Heavenly Prison’ of the Eastern Heaven!

In the eyes of the uninformed masters, his furious restraint appeared as merely dissatisfaction over the use of bait.

"Hehe, my demands are excessive? How come I wasn’t aware?" The little demoness chuckled evilly, giving Mux Tu a meaningful look before continuing.

"My intuition is usually spot-on, and this time the Flowing Sand demon riot reeks heavily of conspiracy. Whether it’s the demon tide or that ancient heartbeat, it all needs to be swiftly dealt with, or else... it might cause a great upheaval, don’t you think, Clan Leader Mu?"

Upon hearing the loaded question, Mux Tu’s expression remained unchanged, but his heart suddenly skipped a beat, inwardly wondering if his plans had already been exposed.

Thinking it over, he assumed the little demoness was merely feigning ignorance to extract information from him.

Everyone knew that the Young Lord of the Godly Void Pavilion in the East, Xiao Qianci, had a mind as sharp as a demon’s, exceedingly deep scheming, and her actions were sometimes righteous, sometimes wicked. Countless people had fallen victim to her schemes.

The title ’little demoness’ originated from this fact.

Who could tell if this demoness truly saw through his plans or was simply trying to extract information?

Mux Tu did not answer the little demoness’s question, instead continuing to protest as the Flowing Sand Clan Leader and Alliance Hierarch before the little demoness.

The little demoness’s black eyes flashed, smiling sweetly at Mux Tu, yet the suspicion in her eyes increased rather than decreased.

"Miss, do you think this Mux Tu could be behind the scenes of the Eastern Heaven’s demon riot?" the Peak Crossing Truth Realm True Immortal respectfully transmitted his voice to inquire.

"Mmh, quite possible. But I just feel... this Eastern Heaven demon riot isn’t as simple as it seems..."

"Is it because of the appearance of the Ancient God’s Heart... The heart must not fall into the hands of outsiders; it is a treasure, and our Godly Void Pavilion must obtain it! If we have this item, the success rate of the Bell Sacrifice will significantly increase!" The Peak Crossing Truth Realm elder’s eyes burned with eagerness.

"Mmh..."

The little demoness’s expression was noticeably unnatural, responding absently as if she was quite averse to the Bell Sacrifice...

"Miss, rest assured, the sacrificial offering for this generation’s Bell Sacrifice has already been selected; it’s not your turn yet..." Sensing the little demoness’s unusual demeanor, the Peak Crossing Truth Realm elder comforted her.

"Rest assured, Elder Luo, I don’t have the slightest psychological burden... All the countless honors and favors I received in this life were bestowed upon me by the Godly Void Pavilion. When the day comes for me to die for the Godly Void Pavilion, I will not hesitate," the little demoness said coldly.

"I’m glad you understand, miss... Destiny is determined by the heavens and cannot be forced."

The little demoness paid no further attention to the Peak Crossing Truth Realm elder, continuing to extract information from Mux Tu with a smile, repeatedly emphasizing that the demon tide must be swiftly eradicated, and the only way was to use the Lure the Snake out of the Hole Method!

Mux Tu appeared iron-faced, though he secretly sneered, eager to use the little demoness’s method for a swift battle to gather a substantial amount of sacrificial blood...

The little demoness’s gaze slightly shifted; she saw through Mux Tu’s insincerity.

"This Mux Tu actually intends to provoke a large-scale slaughter across the Flowing Sand Star Domain. What’s his goal... was this demon riot indeed orchestrated by him..."

As the little demoness pondered, a master suddenly entered the golden palace and reported,

"Fifth Alliance Hierarch, Ning Fan has arrived!"

Upon hearing Ning Fan’s arrival, each of the alliance masters instantly showed strange expressions, while the Flowing Sand Clan masters bore varied degrees of disgust and resentment, naturally due to Ning Fan’s massacre of Flowing Sand clan members.

The little demoness, however, rarely curled her lips, revealing a genuine smile.

When Ning Fan first entered the Eastern Heaven, she was in seclusion breaking through to the Life Immortal Realm, unaware of Ning Fan’s arrival.

After emerging from seclusion, upon hearing news of Ning Fan, she immediately set off for the Slaughter Hall, only to miss him by chance, unable to meet him.

At that time, Ning Fan had already left the Slaughter Hall, or perhaps even left the Six Desires Star Domain...

The little demoness had initially planned to continue inquiring about Ning Fan’s whereabouts, to find him and engage with him a bit.

Unexpectedly, she received a direct order from the pavilion at this crucial moment, commanding her to personally lead a mission to resolve the demon riot in the Flowing Sand Star Domain and ascertain the true cause of the turmoil.

Originally, she arrived in the Flowing Sand Star Domain just to complete this task.

Unexpectedly, upon her arrival, she heard tales of Ning Fan.

Could this be a form of destiny...

"Has he indeed become the leader of the Exterminate Demon Alliance? Did he truly wreak havoc in the Flowing Sand Realm? Is he really at the Ghost Profound Early Stage?"

All the little demoness’s string of questions were answered the moment Ning Fan stepped into the golden palace.

The Fifth Alliance Hierarch was indeed none other than Ning Fan.

And Ning Fan was indeed at the Ghost Profound Early Stage!

When they first met, he was merely the young lord of Seven Apricot City, just having opened his Veins and stepped onto the path of cultivation, while she was on the verge of becoming an Immortal.

Now reunited in the Eastern Heaven, she had finally broken through to the Human Profound Initial Stage, stepping into the Second Step of Intent Realm, while he had already reached the Ghost Profound Early Stage...

"Hehe, he still surpassed me, the inheritor of the Ancient Chaos, indeed terrifying..."

The little demoness chuckled, suddenly performing an action that left many dumbfounded.

She skipped forward and threw herself into Ning Fan’s arms, adopting an affectionate and coy tone, softly saying, "Husband... it’s been so long, did you miss me~"

"So it’s really her..." Ning Fan instantly felt a headache coming on.

He was reluctant to expose even his identity as the Lord of the Six Desires, aiming to keep a low profile to facilitate his travels across the Eastern Heaven and secretly steal incense.

Yet, who would have imagined, a single call of ’husband’ and an embrace from the little demoness had placed him in the spotlight.

From this day forth, it seemed Ning Fan could forget about acting low-key in the Eastern Heaven.

The identity of the husband of the Young Lord of the Godly Void Pavilion was so incredibly scandalous that it couldn’t be mentioned in the same breath as a disciple of the Slaughter Hall.

Even the old monsters of the Godly Void Pavilion would likely start paying attention to Ning Fan...

This mischievous little demoness was intentionally causing him trouble right from their first meeting!

Upon seeing the little demoness’s cunning eyes, Ning Fan knew she was deliberately ensuring he couldn’t stay low-key, purposely making a mess for him!

"Husband, are you angry?" The little demoness looked at Ning Fan innocently, pressing her chest against him, a gesture as flirtatious as it could be.

Ning Fan certainly wouldn’t be angry because of the little demoness’s behavior; he was long used to her teasing.

Moreover, Ning Fan understood that the little demoness deliberately made him unable to keep a low profile, with intentions of mischief, but also using the Godly Void Pavilion’s name to protect him.

"Thank you." Ning Fan smiled slightly, gently tightening his hold on the little demoness’s slender waist.

"Saying ’thank you’ feels distant. I’m your dear little wife, isn’t helping you what I should do?" The little demoness playfully smiled, jumped out of Ning Fan’s embrace, and tidied her hair.

She had heard about Ning Fan’s exploits, knew he walked on thin ice in the Slaughter Hall, and had heard he offended Fei He, Yao Qingyun, the Pill Sect, and the Flowing Sand Clan...

Therefore, she publicly gave Ning Fan the title ’husband of the young lord of the Godly Void Pavilion’, thinking this title would soon spread across Eastern Heaven.

By then, even if the Sect Master of the Pill Sect wanted to make a move against Ning Fan, he would have to think twice.

At this moment, within the golden palace, there was a deathly silence; the previous disputes had ceased because of Ning Fan’s arrival!

The Flowing Sand clan cultivators and the Exterminate Demon Alliance cultivators stared at Ning Fan in shock, never imagining that Ning Fan could ’hook up’ with the young lord of the Godly Void Pavilion, connecting with such a colossal force...

On the other hand, the powerhouses of the Godly Void Pavilion glared at Ning Fan with wide-eyed anger!

At first, their gaze toward Ning Fan carried no enmity.

But after the little demoness announced her relationship with Ning Fan, they couldn’t help but regard Ning Fan as a lifelong adversary!

The little demoness has a special status, not allowed to lose her purity, not allowed to fall in love, not allowed to have any entanglement with any man.

Even when some Eastern Heaven forces intended to send their geniuses to propose to the little demoness, they were often strongly rebuffed by the Godly Void Pavilion.

Previously, Hex Shixiu, the Dao Heir of Qiongdao Sect, was one of the Eastern Heaven’s chosen who wholeheartedly sought to marry the little demoness.

Unfortunately, Hex Shixiu was far from qualified; the Qiongdao Sect behind him was equally unqualified, not even having the right to propose formally to the Godly Void Pavilion.

All Hex Shixiu could do was flatter the little demoness from behind, hoping to win the beauty’s heart...

Unfortunately, he underestimated the difficulty of winning over the little demoness, not only failing to capture her heart but also losing his life in the Rain Immortal World...

Now, the little demoness, whom countless Eastern Heaven’s chosen wanted to marry but couldn’t, actually admitted with her own mouth that Ning Fan was her husband!

How could the powerhouses of the Godly Void Pavilion not harbor animosity toward Ning Fan?

"He is my husband, Xiao Qianci’s. Do you dare to make a move against him!" The little demoness’s eyes turned cold, sweeping toward the powerhouses of the Godly Void Pavilion.

Her gaze carried a threat, a threat that even the old monsters at the Peak Crossing Truth Realm dared not ignore, hurriedly clasping their fists to apologize,

"We do not dare!"

"That’s right, you’d better not..." the little demoness was about to nod in satisfaction when suddenly an out-of-place voice emerged from the crowd.

"Your status is special; you cannot have entanglements with any man, and this boy similarly has no qualification to be entangled with you!" An Early Stage Enlightenment middle-aged Taoist said coldly.

His expression toward the little demoness carried a clear disrespect.

He had backing behind him, backing with an identity and status that couldn’t be compared to some insignificant young lord of the Godly Void Pavilion.

"What if he is the inheritor of Ancient Chaos! Does Elder Xu not know about the first pavilion master’s decree?" The little demoness looked at the middle-aged Taoist, her pretty face cold as frost.

The man’s name was Xu Nian, and he didn’t belong to the same faction as her; the backing behind him had always been at odds with her.

"Inheritor of Ancient Chaos? Is he a cultivator of Yin Yang Transformation?" Xu Nian was initially slightly surprised, recalling the decree of the Shenxu Progenitor, but moments later he smirked coldly,

"Even if he’s the inheritor of Ancient Chaos, so what? The Progenitor’s decree doesn’t necessarily need you to fulfill it. You should remember your mission and keep your distance from this boy!" Xu Nian said with a cold smile.

"What if I insist on making him my husband in the name of fulfilling the Progenitor’s decree?" The little demoness replied coldly.

"If the young lord insists, then before the pacification of Eastern Heaven this time, Xu might have to do the young lord a small favor, assisting the young lord in severing emotional bonds with the Wisdom Sword! True Art, Moving Heaven!"

Xu Nian took a step forward, and the aura of an Early Stage Enlightenment cultivator surged throughout the golden palace!

He broke through to the Enlightenment Realm just twenty years ago, and his realm was not stable yet, considered extremely weak compared to other Enlightenment cultivators of the same level.

But in front of Ning Fan, he was full of self-assurance, convinced that his cultivation and background were far beyond Ning Fan’s!

He didn’t mind helping the little demoness eliminate Ning Fan!

In name, he was safeguarding the little demoness’s status, thinking for the broader picture of the Godly Void Pavilion. Even if he killed Ning Fan, no one in the pavilion could blame him.

In reality, if he killed the little demoness’s husband, he could leave a blemish on the little demoness’s Dao heart.

This time, the little demoness didn’t obtain the sacrificial blood qualification for the Bell Sacrifice.

Next time, if the little demoness’s Dao heart is damaged, she naturally wouldn’t have the qualification to become a sacrificial blood!

And the sacrificial blood from his faction would have a chance to win...

Thinking there might be such good fortune, Xu Nian was naturally eager, wishing nothing more than to eradicate Ning Fan.

At the moment he cast the Art of Moving Heaven, the world suddenly trembled, and his and Ning Fan’s figures vanished from their original place, appearing above the Flowing Sand Realm!

"Not good!" The little demoness’s pretty face changed color, never expecting one word of ’husband’ would bring such trouble to Ning Fan.

With a swift step, the little demoness turned into an Escape Rainbow and shot out of the golden palace, looking up at the sky with cold black eyes!

Behind her, one old monster after another poured out, all staring intently at the sky.

In the sky, Ning Fan and Xu Nian were trapped within a barrier, that barrier a result of the Art of Moving Heaven!

The Art of Moving Heaven is one of the Godly Void Pavilion’s space secret techniques, mastered by only a few, and it was merely luck that Xu Nian had managed to master it, gaining the appreciation of a certain Immortal Emperor...

Once the Art of Moving Heaven is cast, both the enemy and oneself are trapped within the Heaven and Earth Barrier, unless one’s cultivation is above the caster by a major realm, no one can break the barrier!

This Art of Moving Heaven was cast by Xu Nian, and his cultivation was at the Enlightenment stage, meaning unless a Shedding Void Stage cultivator intervened, no one could break the Heaven and Earth Barrier and interrupt the two’s duel within the barrier!

The Art of Moving Heaven is a great divine power for besieging enemy cultivators!

Xu Nian relied on the Art of Moving Heaven, with malicious intentions, wanting to kill Ning Fan in front of the little demoness, breaking Ning Fan’s Dao heart!

"Youngster, Xu has no enmity or resentment with you, but today I must personally kill you within this barrier. Unless Xu personally opens this barrier, no cultivator below Shedding Void Stage can break the barrier and save you! Let Xu make you an informed ghost, don’t bear a grudge against me if you die!" Xu Nian said with a falsely sympathetic cold smile.

"Die? Why would I die? If you had cultivated in the Enlightenment realm for a thousand years, stabilizing your realm, perhaps I would consider you a formidable enemy. As you are now, you lack the power to kill me! Do you know there’s a term called ’setting a trap for oneself’?"

Ning Fan’s eyes flashed with a cold light as he replied coldly.

The little demoness indeed brought him some trouble, but Ning Fan wouldn’t blame her; her intentions were good.

This Xu Nian seems at odds with the little demoness, an enemy of hers...

"Let me help her remove a rival in this barrier then!"

Ning Fan raised his hand, unleashing a black-gold sword light, slashing toward Xu Nian.

Xu Nian snorted disdainfully, "An insignificant trick..."

But before he could finish the last word, his expression dramatically changed.

Gone was any disdainful attitude toward Ning Fan!
