Grasping the Evil-Chapter 789: I’ll Fight You to the Death
The second batch of reinforcements arriving at this place from the heavenly realm consisted of four individuals, all eternal cultivators, three Immortal Sovereigns, and one Immortal King.
The three Immortal Sovereigns were all of the Eternal First Calamity cultivation, trailing slightly behind the Immortal King, clearly showing their deference to him.
The Immortal King, possessing the cultivation of the Eternal Fifth Calamity, had wild white hair, wore a silver-scales battle armor, and exuded an extremely intense aura of death and decay. His body was rigid, resembling a zombie. His eyes had long rotted, with hollow eye sockets emitting two ghastly white lights, appearing to replace his sight.
This Immortal King was the one who previously spoke disrespectfully of Senluo, he was the Family Head of the Xiao Family—Xiao Mu!
The Xiao Family from the Dongming Star Domain was once one of the forces of the Godly Void Pavilion, but since forty-five million years ago, when Xiao Mu died in battle in Dongming, the strong members within the family perished, leading to the decline of the Xiao Family...
The world did not know, the Family Head of the Xiao Family did not actually die, but was instead gravely injured and chose to retreat and hide.
The little demoness was unaware of this matter, as were all except for the old freaks above eternity within the Godly Void Pavilion. Senluo was one of the informed.
Enemies who meet, are particularly enraged.
The moment Xiao Mu sensed Senluo’s presence in the heavenly realm, he promptly rushed here, vowing to kill Senluo in a fit of rage to avenge the obliteration of the Xiao Family!
Back in the day, Xiao Mu was only slightly inferior to Senluo, relying on his Dao Weapon’s defense to even battle Senluo to a draw and narrowly avoid defeat.
Forty-five million years have passed, Xiao Mu is now stronger than ever and believes he has surpassed Senluo.
Therefore, initially, Xiao Mu did not fear Senluo, nor did he trust the legendary accounts of Senluo’s feats.
Previously, being quite a distance away, he yelled angrily, calling Senluo a child with a tone of contempt.
After the shout, as Xiao Mu neared here, he saw Senluo’s startling aura, far exceeding expectations. He could not avoid being astonished!
Senluo first drew upon the soul of the starry sky, then ignited his Spirit. At this moment, his powerful aura was beyond Xiao Mu’s imagination!
Only Xiao Mu turned his thoughts to the might of his Dao Weapon battle armor, and his intense battle intent arose again, looking dismissively at the twelve approaching golden lights, activating the divine radiance of the silver-scale battle armor to the utmost.
This battle armor was known as Kunwu Battle Armor, his Dao Weapon, forged with ancient secret techniques.
Battle armor type Dao Weapons were already rare, and Kunwu Battle Armor was a renowned Dao Weapon from ancient times, its defense terrifying, even the Eternal Eighth Calamity Immortal Emperor may not be able to breach its defense.
Xiao Mu was not skilled in offense, but excelled in defense. Because of this Dao Weapon, Xiao Mu survived Senluo’s pursuit in the war back then!
With Kunwu Battle Armor protecting him, Xiao Mu did not regard Senluo’s twelve golden lights as significant, snorted coldly, confidently addressing the three Immortal Sovereigns behind him.
"You three Daoists may hide behind this old man, let this old man block these twelve flying needles!"
With that, Xiao Mu pointed with his finger, his vast mana spread like a waterfall, divine radiance scattering across the sky, sweeping toward the twelve golden lights.
This divine light he practiced hard for possesses defensive capabilities.
The twelve golden lights trembled, momentarily halted by the divine light in the sky, unable to advance further.
Seeing the twelve golden needles so weak, unable to even break through his divine light, Xiao Mu was first startled, then sneered disdainfully,
"Unexpectedly, after forty-five million years apart, Senluo child got nothing worth mentioning, yet still has the audacity to bring out such trash magical treasure. Initially, upon seeing this needle, this old man thought it to be some formidable magical treasure,"
Upon hearing this, one of the Immortal Sovereigns behind Xiao Mu instantly laughed, "Xiao Daoist is impressive! Lin admires you! It’s not that Senluo child’s magical treasure is weak, but Xiao Daoist’s defense is amazing."
Another Immortal Sovereign praised, "Xiao Daoist’s Extreme Wood Divine Light is indeed formidable. With Xiao Daoist here, Senluo child is doomed today!"
The last Immortal Sovereign nodded and smiled, "We four only need to block Senluo child here, wait for other Daoists and Twin Emperors to reinforce, it’ll be a great achievement, within reach!"
Initially wary of Senluo, witnessing his magical treasure being halted, the three Immortal Sovereigns couldn’t help but underestimate Senluo, especially with the belief that reinforcements from the Twin Emperors of Godly Void Pavilion will arrive shortly, and their number advantage, all fear of Senluo dissipated.
None found Senluo ascending to the Ninth Layer Altar of the Bell concerning. In their view, Senluo’s burning of his Spirit was self-destructive, hence he could reach such heights, he was already a spent force, not worth mentioning.
No one feared Senluo’s illustrious battle achievements, for they did not believe them.
None regarded the twelve golden needles, unaware of their origins.
Senluo’s lips curled into a mocking cold smile; these four underestimated the twelve golden needles’ divine power, their fate: death!
These twelve golden needles were the twelve Heaven-Shattering Arrows given to Senluo by Emperor Yuan Dan, just not yet manifesting their full power, hence failing to breach Xiao Mu’s defenses was unsurprising.
Once the full power unfolds, a single Heaven-Shattering Arrow is sufficient to harm Senluo at full defense.
The combined might of twelve Heaven-Shattering Arrows, Xiao Mu and others will be utterly defeated!
Xiao Mu’s protective divine light cannot block the Heaven-Shattering Arrows, nor can Kunwu Battle Armor withstand them!
The former Senluo could not break this armor.
Catering to today’s Senluo, wielding these unmatched Heaven-Shattering Arrows, breaking through this armor is effortless!
He will slay Xiao Mu, as easy as flipping his hand!
Senluo’s eyes brimmed with intense killing intent; the woman he cherished was called Xiao Qianyu, the niece of Xiao Family Head Xiao Mu.
Xiao Family Head Xiao Mu, to acquire a cup of Spirit Soul Liquor to enhance cultivation, did not hesitate to sacrifice his own niece.
If an outsider harmed Xiao Qianyu, Senluo would not be so enraged. But it was Qianyu’s kin who hurt her deeply, something Senluo could not forgive!
Twelve golden needles were imbued with Senluo’s peerless killing intention. As Senluo’s spirit sense changed, they transformed into twelve golden giant arrows; the trident arrow heads’ divine radiance swept, piercing twelve holes into Xiao Mu’s protective divine light, flashing toward Xiao Mu and the four eternal cultivators!
The three First Calamity Immortal Sovereigns hadn’t reacted before each was heavily wounded by a Heaven-Shattering Arrow; their bodies pierced, igniting golden flames, leading to instant severe physical injury!
The trio was frightened out of their wits, unable to imagine that those unremarkable twelve golden needles could be so formidable. Without any hesitation, they immediately abandoned their physical forms, their spirits rolled up their respective storage pouches, and without a word, they set up an escape light and turned to flee!
Xiao Mu was clad in the Kunwu Battle Armor, which now had nine arrow holes pierced through it, from which foul-smelling blood was flowing. The wounds were also being consumed by golden flames, and as time passed, the flames began to spread across his whole body!
At this moment, Xiao Mu’s eyes were filled with shock. He could not comprehend how his Kunwu Battle Armor could be so easily breached by Senluo!
A flash of insight hit him, and Xiao Mu suddenly understood something, his face turning deathly pale in an instant.
He finally recognized the origin of those twelve golden needles!
"Heaven-Shattering Arrow! It’s actually Emperor Yuan Dan’s Heaven-Shattering Arrow! This treasure specifically destroys magical treasures and pierces through defensive armor. Those hit by the arrow, if their cultivations are insufficient, the arrow wounds will ignite with golden flames, destroying the physical body in an instant! Why does Senluo possess the Heaven-Shattering Arrow, and why does he have twelve of them!"
"Could the rumors of him killing Jiuyou Emperor and severely injuring Zhen Yuan Emperor be true?! Could the news of him defeating Emperor Yuan Dan also be true!? Could it be, could..."
At this moment, Xiao Mu’s mind was blank. If all these rumors were true, he wouldn’t dare to fight Senluo, even with the boldest of courage!
He wasn’t arrogant enough to think that a single Dao Weapon battle armor could defend against a madman capable of killing an Immortal Emperor!
As the three Immortal Sovereigns turned to flee, Xiao Mu made the same decision. Gritting his teeth, he abandoned his physical form, rolled up his storage pouch, and transformed into a stunning rainbow, rapidly fleeing!
With his cultivation at the Fifth Calamity of the Eternals, being hit by just one Heaven-Shattering Arrow wouldn’t necessarily require him to abandon his physical form. But being pierced by nine Heaven-Shattering Arrows simultaneously, he had no choice but to abandon it!
"You want to leave? Can you leave?"
Senluo did not pay any attention to the three escaping Immortal Sovereigns, his spirit sense uniquely locked onto Xiao Mu.
To him, whether those three Immortal Sovereigns lived or died was inconsequential. But Xiao Mu, he must kill!
"Die!"
Senluo stood on the ninth layer of the Altar of the Bell, roaring angrily toward the sky, his demonic qi soaring.
The twelve strands of Heaven-Shattering Arrow light shattered and dispersed into a golden autumn wind, suddenly sweeping toward Xiao Mu.
Xiao Mu fled quickly, but the autumn wind formed by the arrow light pursued even more swiftly.
As the autumn wind swept fiercely over him, Xiao Mu’s spirit felt a sharp pain. In the next moment, countless golden threads as thin as hair pierced through his spirit.
What does it mean to sweep away fallen leaves like the autumn wind? This was it. Xiao Mu’s spirit seemed like a withered leaf, continuously attacked by the sword-like autumn wind, becoming more and more lethargic, finally falling like a leaf from the sky, landing on the ground weakly.
Senluo had struggled to ascend to the ninth layer of the Altar of the Bell and would not descend easily. He instructed the Beast of Destruction standing by below,
"Qianxun! Go devour Xiao Mu’s spirit in revenge for Qianyu!"
Upon hearing these words, the Beast of Destruction immediately showed a look of distress, indicating its difficulty in attacking the former head of the Xiao Family, as it was once the Xiao family’s divine beast protector...
Seeing Senluo give the order to the Beast of Destruction, Xiao Mu immediately cursed angrily. At this time, his spirit was severely injured and had fallen before his enemy, unable to move for the moment. If it truly got devoured by the Beast of Destruction, he’d be powerless to resist.
"Damned beast! You were once the Xiao family’s guardian divine beast, but you dare betray the Xiao family for the sake of Xiao Qianyu, joining the enemy’s ranks, you deserve to die!" 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
If Xiao Mu hadn’t mentioned Xiao Qianyu, it would have been fine, but upon mentioning it, the beast eyes of the Beast of Destruction immediately flared with immense ferocity. Without further hesitation, it opened its mouth and swallowed Xiao Mu’s spirit along with the storage pouch, biting him to death!
Witnessing this, Senluo nodded in satisfaction, his gaze once again turning to the horizon.
In that direction, several strong practitioners were rushing to this place, mostly True Immortals. For the moment, no Eternal Cultivators had arrived here.
"Qianxun, from now on, I’ll give it my all to retrieve Qianyu’s remnant dao from the Heaven Suppressing Bell, and with the Power of Reincarnation, resurrect her. Once this process begins, no one must interrupt, and those who come to invade, you must hold them off!"
Following Senluo’s command, the beast eyes of the Beast of Destruction flickered slightly. Although unwilling to join forces with Senluo, it still nodded.
With a step of its four feet, it leaped into the air, heading toward the small black dots in the sky to fend off the invaders.
Turning around, Senluo fixated his gaze on the colossal bell in front of him, channeling his mana. The hands that were originally decayed now regrew with flesh.
With a wave of his hand, the twelve strands of Heaven-Shattering Arrow light flew back, swirling around him.
As Senluo looked at the Heaven Suppressing Bell, the cold light in his eyes grew stronger.
He knew there was a great secret within this Heaven Suppressing Bell, a secret crucial to the prosperity of the Godly Void Pavilion.
The Bell Sacrifice was to unveil this great secret, even if it failed, the sacrifice could yield Spirit Soul Liquor from the deceased’s spirits. To Eternal Cultivators, Spirit Soul Liquor was exceedingly nourishing, and to lower cultivation masters, the benefits of Spirit Soul Liquor were immeasurable.
All of this, he knew.
What he could not tolerate was using Qianyu as the sacrifice!
When something does not concern you, you can ignore it, but if the sacrifice is someone you care about, it changes everything.
"They are willing to sacrifice you simply because they don’t care about you. But I, I am not willing... only I am not willing..."
In this moment, while Senluo’s gaze was icy, his tone was laden with sorrow.
He was a despicable demon, yet even so, he still had a heart and feelings.
In an inexplicable move, Senluo suddenly posed a question to Ning Fan,
"Ning Fan, if one day, the person you love is sacrificed as an offering to the Heaven Suppressing Bell; if one day, someone you care about is killed, their spirit and corpse turned into liquor, what would you do?"
This voice was a transmitted message, only audible to Ning Fan, the little demoness could not hear it.
Ning Fan’s eyes were solemn, yet he did not answer Senluo’s question.
He gradually began to understand that Senluo’s assault on the Godly Void Pavilion was out of love, because someone he cherished was sacrificed for the Heaven Suppressing Bell.
To be honest, Ning Fan held no particular affection or dislike for Senluo, merely regarding him as he would any stranger.
Yet at this moment, Ning Fan seemed to resonate with Senluo’s sorrow.
Offering, offering...
These words echoed in Ning Fan’s ears. He remembered Senluo saying that the little demoness was to be a sacrifice...
Could it be that one day the little demoness would be offered as a sacrifice to the Heaven Suppressing Bell?
Could it be that on that day, her Spirit and corpse would be brewed into wine and feasted upon?
This was something Ning Fan vowed he could never tolerate; he would stop it no matter the cost!
And Senluo, he must have also tried desperately to stop it, but was powerless to do so...
Although Senluo posed a question, he did not anticipate Ning Fan’s response, as if he already knew how Ning Fan would answer. He continued,
"Would you do another thing for me? The reward would be something quite useful to you."
"What is it?" Ning Fan asked, his eyes flickering slightly.
"I plan to rescue a woman from the Heaven Suppressing Bell. Your task is to set a magnificent firework display outside Dongming Star, so she can see it!"
With that, Senluo suddenly began to frantically harness the power of the Sands of Time within his body.
The Three Apertures Temporal Divine Power stored within Ning Fan’s body also poured into Senluo!
At that moment, Ning Fan’s role as a container was finally complete!
Even when facing the Shenhao Twin Emperors, Senluo had never used his full power of time, but now, he intended to unleash this power!
"This brocade box is the first reward I promised you; this Divine Command is your payment for setting off the fireworks. Take them! I will destroy the Heaven Suppressing Bell, though I do not know if I will succeed or even survive. I shall first send you away from here! If the Bell is destroyed, it saves you trouble. If I fail, perhaps one day you will walk the same path as me!"
Senluo suddenly produced a jade box and a golden order, flicking them away, where they disappeared in a flash.
In the Ninth Star, Ning Fan caught them and found himself holding a jade box and a golden order.
Inside the jade box was sealed a black orb of light, which contained the Void Force with a miraculous effect of neutralizing Void Poison.
Ning Fan merely glanced at the orb, feeling assured that it could help the little demoness neutralize the danger of the Void Poison.
The words ’Void’ inscribed on the golden order were in Divine Seal Script.
"This is... the Void Command! With this, even without the help of Shenkong the Great Emperor, you have a chance to enter the Third Layer of the Divine Mausoleum! You might have a chance to find another legacy of the Ancient Chaos Grand Emperor!" the little demoness’ dark eyes flashed as she reminded Ning Fan telepathically.
Ning Fan’s gaze shifted slightly, and he remained silent for a moment. Before he could respond, Senluo had already activated his Divine Skills, wrapping layer upon layer of Void Force around him, sending him out of the Ninth Star, out of the heavens, and to a deserted Abandoned Star far from Dongming Star.
What would come next, Senluo would face alone, not needing Ning Fan to intervene further, nor wanting him to interfere with his reunion with Qianxun.
Naturally, he disdained turncoating; dealing with Ning Fan was beneath him due to his proud nature, nor would he dishonor his vows or betray a young Ghost Immortal Realm indebted to him.
On the Abandoned Star, Ning Fan furrowed his brow slightly, put away the Void Command without a word, and nodded to the little demoness.
Senluo had forced the Void Command upon him; if he didn’t set off a firework for Senluo, he’d be ungrateful for this Command.
Admittedly, the Void Command might be of significant use to him.
Generally, entering the Third Layer of the Divine Mausoleum required the approval of Shenkong the Great Emperor.
Ning Fan had killed for hundreds of years; he imagined Shenkong the Great Emperor harbored no fondness for him and wouldn’t be kind enough to let him into the Third Layer of the Mausoleum to seek opportunities.
If this Void Command could indeed help him enter the Third Layer, it would be ideal.
Having decided to accept it, he would, in return, arrange a grand firework display outside Dongming Star for Senluo.
Setting off fireworks seemed easy, but doing something so conspicuous and suspicious during Senluo’s assault on the Godly Void Pavilion carried considerable risk of being captured and interrogated by Divine Void Strongholders.
Though risky, Ning Fan did not fear it.
He had an Innate Ghost Mask to conceal his identity; even if his whereabouts were exposed and discovered, he had ways to hide and escape.
Even if someone saw his Ghost Mask, at most they’d suspect him of being one of the Eight Hundred Ghost Faces of Slaughter Hall, unable to know his true identity.
While the Ghost Mask was a symbol of Slaughter Hall, that didn’t mean cultivators outside Slaughter Hall couldn’t create or obtain Ghost-Faced Spirit Attire.
The Ghost Mask meant little; no one would question Slaughter Hall because he set off fireworks and wore a Ghost Mask.
Slaughter Hall was no weaker than Godly Void Pavilion, and without openly committing atrocities as a disciple of Slaughter Hall, he surely wouldn’t bring trouble upon them.
"Will you really help Senluo Immortal King set off fireworks? In the battle-ridden Dongming Star Domain?" the little demoness’ dark eyes were deep, pondering something, deeply moved by these various events.
Ning Fan nodded, his silver Ghost Mask fierce and cold, his full head of silver hair wildly dancing in the starlit void.
Having accepted the Void Command, he would naturally complete the task of setting off fireworks, unrelated to his feelings toward Senluo.
"What do you think, of the person that is Senluo Immortal King..." the little demoness suddenly asked, her eyes bewildered.
She had once harbored hatred for Senluo, but learning that his crimes were committed to destroy the Heaven Suppressing Bell for the sake of a beloved, she was naturally deeply affected.
Because, she too was just a sacrifice...
"Senluo, as a person, is overly focused on slaughter, with an obstinate personality; his actions are utterly unforgivable. Although he possesses a sense of gratitude and righteousness, it still hardly compensates for his wrongdoings. In this, he is much like me, yet different..."
Ning Fan’s gaze sharpened, but his mind was pondering another matter.
If Senluo hadn’t destroyed the Heaven Suppressing Bell; if one day, the little demoness were sacrificed to the Heaven Suppressing Bell...
What would he do on that day!
Moreover, there was another matter that Ning Fan was quite concerned about. Earlier, while hiding within Senluo’s Ninth Star, he entered the heavens, nearing the Heaven Suppressing Bell.
At that moment, the Eastern Ocean Bell in his storage pouch trembled slightly again and again, as if having a peculiar connection with the Heaven Suppressing Bell.
Only when he left the heavens did the Eastern Ocean Bell cease its vibrations.
The Eastern Ocean Bell was left by the Ancestral Emperor from the Eastern Heaven. Just from its appearance, one could tell that this item was crafted in imitation of the Heaven Suppressing Bell.
The Eastern Ocean Bell holds the Secret Art of Prestige and has some sort of connection with the Heaven Suppressing Bell...
"Haha, I didn’t expect to see a friend from the Slaughter Hall here. This old man is named Lv Wen; may I know how you are addressed and why you are in Dongming during the martial law domain of the Shenxu Pavilion? Could it be that you are with Senluo and his lot!"
Just as Ning Fan was reflecting, an exploring voice suddenly sounded from behind him.
The owner of this voice was none other than the previously heavily injured ’Plague King’ Lv Wen.
Lv Wen descended upon the abandoned star, narrowing his eyes dangerously, smilingly, and swaggering step by step towards Ning Fan with words full of probing intent.
He was speculating whether Ning Fan was someone from the Slaughter Hall! He was also guessing Ning Fan’s cultivation!
Ning Fan, wearing the Innate Ghost Mask, completely concealed his aura, making it impossible for Lv Wen to discern Ning Fan’s reality. Previously, he had only sensed the aura of the little demoness on this star, but hadn’t detected that Ning Fan was also present!
At this moment, Ning Fan, wearing the Innate Ghost Mask, hardly exposed even a fraction of his aura!
Lv Wen released his spirit sense twelve times in a short period, attempting to probe Ning Fan’s cultivation.
But due to the Innate Ghost Mask’s concealment, he was unable to see through Ning Fan even once.
"This Ghost-Faced Spirit Attire is incredible, isn’t it an Innate Spirit Armor! I’ve never heard of anyone in the Slaughter Hall possessing such a formidable ghost mask! This person must at least be an Eternal Old Freak; otherwise, how could they possess such formidable spirit equipment!"
"Who exactly is this person, and what is their cultivation? Why are they with the Young Lord of the Shenxu Pavilion!"
"After being injured by Senluo, I performed a divination and found that following this direction, I could meet a benefactor who would help suppress my injuries, even offering hope for cultivation reconstruction. Could it be this person!"
Lv Wen’s eyes were full of caution, which suddenly turned to a different expression, as at that moment, he sensed something from Ning Fan!
Whether Ning Fan was his benefactor, or not, he was still unsure before, but now he was somewhat certain.
Because Lv Wen sensed an extremely familiar aura of a token from Ning Fan!
"This is... the aura of the Gu Command! How is it possible! Could this person actually be from one of the ten great secret clans—the Southern Clan!"
"Among the Southern Clan’s Four Divisions: Gu, Plague, Witch, and Barbarian, could it be that since this person holds the Gu Command, they are from the Gu Division!"
"No doubt! My Pestilence Command has responded! It has been nearly sixty million years since I was expelled from the Southern Clan, and finally, a member of the Southern Clan has come to see me again!"
Lv Wen was naturally overjoyed in his heart, how could he not be!
No one knew that in his youth, he was a cultivator from the Plague Division in the Southern Clan of the ten great secret clans. Due to making a grave mistake and offending the ancestor of the Southern Clan, he was expelled from the clan.
Afterward, he diligently pursued cultivation, going through life and death experiences, gradually achieving success in cultivation, and eventually joining the Godly Void Pavilion.
That the Southern Clan sent someone to find him likely meant they intended to reinstate his membership in the clan!
If he could return to the Southern Clan, not to mention cultivation reconstruction, even becoming an emperor in this life held great promise!
If Ning Fan truly was from the Southern Clan, he would certainly not be a cultivator of the Slaughter Hall, nor could he have any connection with Senluo.
As to why Ning Fan was with the little demoness, that was no longer Lv Wen’s concern.
Without waiting for Ning Fan to respond to his first question, Lv Wen steadied his thoughts and cupped his fist in salute before Ning Fan, offering a sycophantic smile, having completely discarded previous hostility and speculation towards Ning Fan.
"Who would have thought that the Daoist is actually from the Southern Clan. If there was any previous offense, I hope the Daoist will be magnanimous! I wonder which Emperor the Daoist serves in the Plague Division?"
At this moment, Ning Fan’s face was as calm as water, yet with the ghost mask on, no one could discern his expression.
He never expected to encounter the Immortal King Lv Wen of the Shenxu Pavilion on this abandoned star, particularly at such an untimely moment!
Moreover, what Lv Wen said left him somewhat puzzled.
What is the Southern Clan, and what is the Plague Division...
Seeing Ning Fan silent, Lv Wen assumed the other party was simply cold-natured and paid no mind, rubbing his hands and smiling,
"It was indeed impolite of me; I was expelled from the Southern Clan long ago, and asking the Daoist such questions now seems somewhat presumptuous. If the Daoist is unwilling to speak, I won’t force it, but I would still hope to see the Daoist’s Gu Command with my own eyes to verify the Daoist’s identity, hehe, I wonder if the Daoist could..."
His underlying meaning was that he insisted on seeing Ning Fan’s Gu Command.
Ning Fan’s gaze flickered slightly, yet he remained silent.
Lv Wen’s expression suddenly turned icy, speaking with outrage,
"Hmph! I didn’t expect you to not be here to reinstate me into the clan, but rather to kill me. If so, have at it! Your Southern Clan may be powerful, but I’m not someone to await death submissively! I’ll fight you to the end!" (To be continued. If you like this work, please go to Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets; your support is my greatest motivation.
