Grasping the Evil-Chapter 798: War King Luo Family

This team of cultivators consists of seventeen people, both men and women, all dressed in black brocade robes. On the collars, seven golden feather emblems are embroidered, the insignia of the Godly Void Pavilion cultivators.

Among the seventeen, fifteen are in the Void Fragmentation realm, and two possess Second Step Fate Immortal cultivation.

One of the Fate Immortals is a beautiful woman in a black skirt, with cultivation of the Human Profound Initial Stage, graceful figure, black shiny hair styled into a bun.

Her appearance is quite stunning, but there is a heavy demonic aura in her eyes, and her nails are black and slender.

The other Fate Immortal is a middle-aged man with Mid-stage Ghost Profound Cultivation. He has a square face, dressed as a scholarly young man, with a cyan jade brush hanging from his waist.

"Hmm? The sword shadow has dissipated just now... Unexpectedly, on this little Spiritual Platform Star, there is still a Fate Immortal. Unfortunately, it was too far earlier to accurately sense the strength of the sword light, making it difficult to judge this person’s exact cultivation. Whether this person is Human Profound or Ghost Profound, if it is Ghost Profound, then I could spar with him a bit..."

In the middle-aged scholar’s eyes, the battle intent flashed and vanished quickly, immediately restraining himself so no trace is left.

Upon hearing this sentence from the middle-aged scholar, the beautiful woman in a black skirt immediately covered her mouth and giggled,

"Friend Luo, as expected being a descendant of the ’Luo Family War King’, you are indeed very combative, anytime, whenever you encounter a fellow Daoist of the same level, you always want to spar with them. Along the way with you, we’ve encountered four Ghost Profound Daoists, and each time you must fight once..."

"The cultivation technique of my Luo family was born from battle, whenever encountering a bottleneck, one must engage in countless battles to break through." the middle-aged scholar said.

"Among the four Ghost Profounds we’ve encountered, one is in the initial stage, two are in the intermediate stage, and one is in the later stage. Your battle record, Daoist, is four wins in four matches. This time in the ’Tomb Contest’, it seems your ranking is about to rise again, and there is a great hope to contend for the ’Void Command’. It’s just a pity that the ’Bell Sacrifice’ is delayed due to chaos, otherwise, you might also compete for the Spirit Soul Liquor." the woman in the black skirt expressed regret.

"With my current cultivation strength, contending for the Void Command might be difficult. If I can break through the Ghost Profound Late Stage before the Tomb Contest, relying on my Luo family War God Art, there might still be some hope to seize the command... Let’s not mention this matter, for now, completing the mission is paramount, hurry and select the next Star Lord of the Spiritual Platform, so we can proceed to the next Cultivation Star."

The middle-aged scholar finished speaking, slightly descended towards the Spiritual Platform Star, standing in the air above a certain barren land, suddenly speaking loudly.

His voice was not loud, yet it contained a Great Divine Power, spreading instantly across the entire Spiritual Platform Star.

"I am one of the Divine Void Four Pavilions — Punishment Pavilion Divine General, Luo Xiao! Now, by the order of the Pavilion Master, I descend upon this star. By my decree, all Void Fragmentation cultivators on this star must gather here within the time it takes a stick of incense to burn!"

On the entire Spiritual Platform Star, excluding demon beasts, there are five Void Fragmentation cultivators, including Liux Zhou.

These five Void Fragmentation cultivators suddenly heard the transmission from the middle-aged scholar, each of their expressions changed, and they all took out transmission jade scrolls, using the jade scrolls at all costs, rushing to where the middle-aged scholar was.

As for the demon beasts on the Spiritual Platform Star, upon hearing the transmission from the middle-aged scholar, they were all filled with dread.

Before the time of a stick of incense is over, Liux Zhou and the other five Void Fragmentation cultivators hurriedly arrived at the location of the middle-aged scholar, respectfully bowed!

"Cultivators of the Spiritual Platform Mountain group pay respects to the envoy from the Punishment Pavilion! We are unsure of your purpose here on our star?"

"No need for formalities. I have come today regarding the matter of the Spiritual Platform Star Lord’s death. Today, I will select one person from among you five to be the new Spiritual Platform Star Lord. If anyone among you is willing to compete for the Star Lord position, step forward." the middle-aged scholar said.

The middle-aged scholar finished speaking, quietly observing Liux Zhou and the others. The rest of the Punishment Pavilion cultivators stood silently beside the middle-aged scholar.

Upon hearing that these Punishment Pavilion cultivators arrived at the Spiritual Platform Star for the purpose of appointing a Star Lord, the four Spiritual Platform Void Fragmentation cultivators were all excited, stepping forward to express their willingness to compete for the Star Lord position.

Only Liux Zhou revealed a mixed expression of joy and worry, pondering for a moment before finally stepping forward.

As the five Spiritual Platform Void Fragmentation cultivators all showed interest in becoming the Star Lord, the middle-aged scholar nodded, suddenly releasing a spirit sense vast as galaxies, sweeping across the bodies of the five.

After a thorough investigation, the middle-aged scholar slightly raised a finger towards Liux Zhou and said,

"Although your cultivation is not the highest among the five, you excel in having a steadfast spirit sense; the position of the Spiritual Platform Star Lord will be assumed by you. This jade scroll is bestowed upon you, containing a Divine Skill to learn, even with just Fragmentation Four cultivation, it will be sufficient to hold the position of a Star Lord."

After speaking, the middle-aged scholar took out a jade scroll and bestowed it to Liux Zhou.

The other four Spiritual Platform Void Fragmentation cultivators, upon seeing Liux Zhou assuming the position of Spiritual Platform Star Lord and receiving the Divine Skill, expressed envy.

Liux Zhou let out a sigh, received the jade scroll, and thanked the middle-aged scholar for the favor, suddenly opening his mouth again,

"Since I am now the Spiritual Platform Star Lord, I should contribute; I have a request, which I hope the envoy will grant."

"What request?" the middle-aged scholar said expressionlessly.

"On the Spiritual Platform Star, there has always been a wave of demon chaos causing harm. Previously, when the former Star Lord was present, the demon chaos could be suppressed. Now, on the Spiritual Platform Star, there are only us five Void Fragmentations, utterly unable to subdue the demon chaos. I hope the envoy will assist us Spiritual Platform cultivators in suppressing the demon chaos."

After speaking, Liux Zhou bowed again, remaining silent, his heart extremely tense, uncertain whether the middle-aged scholar would agree to his request.

"The demon chaos is difficult to suppress?"

The middle-aged scholar frowned slightly, showing some displeasure.

With a brief sensing, he could perceive thirty-four Void Fragmentation demon beast auras from the Spiritual Platform Star.

As a Punishment Pavilion cultivator of the Godly Void Pavilion, he is under no obligation to help a subordinate Cultivation Star resolve disorder.

That responsibility belongs to the Soldiers Pavilion, not within his jurisdiction.

He still has tasks to complete, needing to appoint Star Lords for dozens of Cultivation Stars, originally not intending to interfere in the affairs of this star.

However, seeing Liux Zhou’s earnest words, he finally nodded and said,

"Fine, Luo Mou will take action this once to help you quell this star demon wave. Merely thirty-four Void Fragmentation Demon Beasts, it shouldn’t take much of Luo Mou’s time."

With this said, the sleeves of the middle-aged scholarly man fluttered, and the place immediately shone with points of green light, like fireflies.

In the next instant, the middle-aged scholar, along with all the cultivators present, vanished in an escape light, reappearing outside a demon marsh on the outskirts of the Oblique Moon Mountain Range.

Currently, all the Void Fragmentation Demon Beasts of Spiritual Platform Star were gathered in this demon marsh.

As the middle-aged scholar and others arrived, thirty-four Void Fragmentation demonic shadows emerged from within the marsh to greet them.

These thirty-four demonic shadows, led by Ke Long, were all images of Void Fragmentation Demon Beasts in human form.

The faces of the group of demons were extremely grim.

Especially Ke Long, whose eyes were full of despair and unwillingness.

He knew that the cultivators before him, excluding Liux Zhou and the others, were all Godly Void Pavilion Four Pavilion cultivators.

These people coming to the demon marsh on the outskirts of the Oblique Moon Mountain Range were most likely here to utterly eradicate the demon beasts...

Ke Long and the demons were native demons of the Spiritual Platform Star; even if they dared to oppose the local cultivators like Liux Zhou and others, how could they dare to oppose the Godly Void Pavilion?

The entire Eastern Ocean Star Domain was the territory of the Godly Void Pavilion, which housed countless strong individuals who could slaughter these demons like dogs.

The Godly Void Pavilion was a colossal force that Ke Long and the demons could not provoke!

The Godly Void Pavilion was a divine power, a Xuan cultivator Sect, viewing demons as different, as enemies, killing them without any wrongdoing...

The Punishment Pavilion cultivators present numbered seventeen, including two Fate Immortals.

If these people began a massacre in the Oblique Moon Mountains, absolutely no demon beast could survive.

"I didn’t know the envoy was visiting this place, for what purpose?" Ke Long gritted his teeth, clinging to a glimmer of hope, and inquired to the middle-aged scholar.

He so wished for a one in ten thousand chance that the other party would not utterly eradicate the group of demons...

Unfortunately, the middle-aged scholar’s first words dashed all of Ke Long’s hopeful thoughts.

"Luo Mou came here to help the Spiritual Platform Star eradicate the demons. If you Void Fragmentation Demon Beasts are willing to end yourselves, Luo Mou might spare the low-level demon beasts here."

This middle-aged scholar loved battle but not killing; he disliked lowering himself to trouble with a group of low-level demons.

In the middle-aged scholar’s view, to eliminate the demon beasts of Spiritual Platform Star, only the Void Fragmentation needed to be exterminated, the rest could be handled by the Spiritual Platform Star Lord.

Upon hearing the middle-aged scholar’s words, all demons revealed a look of grief.

Based on their demon beast instincts, they could sense the terrible power of the middle-aged scholar, understanding that before him, there was not the slightest chance of escape.

Some demon beasts sighed endlessly, accepting their fate of self-ending.

If their lives could be exchanged for the survival of other lower-level demon beasts, they would die with purpose...

Yet, some demon beasts were unwilling to bow and wait for death. One emaciated man, like an evil ghost, gritted his teeth and shouted to Ke Long,

"Brother Ke, aren’t you on good terms with that Second Step senior within the Oblique Moon Mountain? Could you ask him to intervene for us, to save our lives..."

"Yes, Brother Ke! I’ve heard that the Second Step senior is particularly fond of your granddaughters, almost accepting them as disciples. With this relationship, he definitely won’t ignore our lives!" Another demon said hopefully.

"This... is not possible, not possible..."

Ke Long was moved by their words, how he wished to ask Ning Fan for help to preserve their lives.

But this thought was snuffed out in an instant.

Today’s calamity was an affair between the demon beasts and cultivators of Spiritual Platform Star and the Godly Void Pavilion, how could they involve an outsider like Ning Fan?

In Ke Long’s heart, though Ning Fan was extremely strong, it was uncertain if he was stronger than the middle-aged scholar before him, and certainly not more powerful than the formidable Godly Void Pavilion behind him.

To ask Ning Fan to intervene might not have enough influence to save the group of demons. It could even anger the Godly Void Pavilion cultivators and bring greater disaster, implicating the low-level demon beasts here.

Moreover, Ke Long had no confidence that he could persuade Ning Fan, risking offending the Godly Void Pavilion to save the demons.

Ke Long sighed longly, ultimately dispelling the thought of involving Ning Fan in this matter.

Cultivators are mostly selfish, as only the selfish can survive the cruel struggles.

Thinking even if he asked Ning Fan, Ning Fan would not stand up for them, as they had no significant relationship...

"Brother Ke! You!"

Upon hearing Ke Long’s unwillingness to seek Ning Fan’s help, several demons became furious, but then sighed longingly, eyes filled with despair.

They actually understood that even if Ke Long went to ask Ning Fan for help, there was very little chance of convincing Ning Fan to take action.

However, that scholarly middle-aged man, upon hearing the demons’ dialogue, suddenly showed a greatly interested expression and said,

"Interesting. It seems you demons have a backer, which I assume is the Fate Immortal on the Spiritual Platform Star. You should ask him to intervene. If he is strong enough, Luo Mou wouldn’t mind sparing you for his sake."

"No need, we are willing to die. That senior has no ties with us and will not stand up for us."

Ke Long shook his head, rejecting the middle-aged man’s suggestion, closed his eyes, and bowed his head, awaiting death.

He was determined not to involve Ning Fan in this calamity.

The middle-aged scholarly man, hearing this, shook his head but did not persuade any further.

His expression was indifferent, standing with his hands behind his back, speaking coldly to Ke Long and the others, "In the cultivation world, the strong survive and the weak perish. Though you may resent Luo Mou, Luo Mou must eliminate you for the sake of the Spiritual Platform Star Masters. You should end it yourselves; don’t force Luo Mou to take action. After ten breaths, if you haven’t ended yourselves, Luo Mou won’t mind sending you off!"

After saying this, the middle-aged scholarly man began patiently waiting.

At this moment, Liu Zhou and the other Spiritual Platform Star Masters looked at the demon beasts in front of them, forced to end their own lives, feeling a sudden empathy as if they were mourning the dead.

This feeling only arose for a moment before being suppressed by the five people.

They were sworn enemies with the Spiritual Platform Demonic Beasts; countless friends and family had died at the hands of the demon beasts, and they had also slain numerous demon beasts, creating an unresolvable enmity.

Ke Long and the others showed a desolate expression, each raised their palms, pressing towards their own Tian Ling.

Being demon beasts, they believed in the survival of the strong and the demise of the weak. They were opponents to the middle-aged scholarly man and others, with inferior cultivation, who only ordered them to end themselves without killing low-level demon beasts, which was already very generous...

Just as the group of demons was about to end their lives, two toddlers stumbled and dashed out from the Demon Marsh, crying towards the middle-aged scholarly man and others with baby voices,

"You are bad people! You can’t kill Grandpa! Qinqin and Yun Yun won’t let you kill Grandpa! You’re bad, you’re bad!"

"Silence! Step back now!" Ke Long’s face instantly tensed up!

Never would he have thought that his two toddlers would rush out at this moment to fiercely rebuke the Godly Void Pavilion Punishment Pavilion Masters.

He was terrified, fearful that the middle-aged scholarly man and others might, in their anger, kill his two granddaughters and countless low-level demon beasts...

Though scolded by the two toddlers as bad people, the middle-aged man was not angry, merely furrowing his brow slightly.

The black-dressed beautiful woman merely had a cold gaze, clearly extremely displeased with the two toddlers, yet she didn’t deign to take action against the two kids.

However, several Void Fragmentation experts behind the middle-aged scholarly man revealed killing intent.

These individuals harbored strong beliefs in the conflict between good and evil and inherently despised demons, wishing for nothing more than to eradicate the demons here.

Being insulted by mere toddlers, immediately a Void Fragmentation Eighth Layer Punishment Pavilion elder stepped forward, reaching out his large hand to grab at the two toddlers.

He coldly shouted, "Ignorant devil spawn, even young demons must be eradicated completely!"

"Stop!" Ke Long’s eyes lit up with anger. He wasn’t afraid of death, willing to die, but he couldn’t allow anyone to harm his close kin!

Just as he was about to act to rescue the two toddlers, another Void Fragmentation Ninth Layer master instantly blocked his way, coldly huffing, throwing a punch at him.

With just one punch, Ke Long was forcibly pushed back a hundred feet!

Though Ke Long wasn’t injured, he had no time to save the two children.

An uncontrollable rage burned within his heart!

Within this rage, there was also profound despair, a despair only those at the end of their rope could understand!

"Can’t save them, can’t save them..."

This thought crazily surged in Ke Long’s heart. He couldn’t bear to look at the two toddlers, couldn’t bear to see the Punishment Pavilion Masters tear them to pieces.

The Punishment Pavilion elder’s five fingers grasped, and immediately five sword lights shot out, slashing towards the two toddlers.

The two toddlers also sensed the danger, almost petrified on the spot.

They were so young, how could they understand danger or the vastness of the world?

But they were inherently demon beasts, and at this moment, felt death so profoundly...

Just as the sword lights were about to touch their bodies, suddenly a flicker of evil flame appeared before them, at the same moment a figure in white appeared out of nowhere, blocking in front of the two girls, raising a hand to press against the five sword lights.

Who else but Ning Fan!

The five sword lights came fiercely like dragons, but before Ning Fan, they seemed like mere child’s play, not worth mentioning.

He simply raised his hand and pressed, and the five sword lights from the Void Fragmentation Eighth Layer elder instantly shattered into points of golden light, scattering with the wind.

"Second Step Fate Immortal!" The elder of the Eighth Layer, who was attacking the little children, turned pale, and the moment Ning Fan shattered the sword light, he retreated fiercely without any hesitation!

He felt an indescribable and fierce killing intent emanating from Ning Fan.

How could he have known that Ning Fan had long decided to take these two little children as apprentices! After several months of interaction, he had grown deeply fond of them!

Regarding the lives of other demon beasts, Ning Fan couldn’t be bothered.

But towards these two little children, Ning Fan had already developed a protective instinct and would not allow anyone to harm them!

"Eradicating evil thoroughly! What a thorough eradication of evil! I’d like to know what evil these two ignorant three-year-old children have committed!"

A flash of evil flame appeared under Ning Fan’s feet, leaving an afterimage that hadn’t dissipated yet, while he had already appeared before the Elder Sui Ba, pressing down with a finger without a word!

His escape skill was so swift, his movements so quick, that even the middle-aged scholar and the beautiful woman in the black dress, both Fate Immortals, couldn’t clearly see his escape light, nor how he unleashed his Divine Skills!

The middle-aged scholar’s eyes narrowed, showing no emotion nor any intention to rescue the Elder Sui Ba, merely fixing his gaze on Ning Fan’s fingers without speaking.

The beautiful woman in the black dress was shocked and wanted to rescue the Elder Sui Ba, but it was already too late!

The Elder Sui Ba only saw a flash of purple-gold light before his eyes, and in the next instant, his entire body decayed into dust under Ning Fan’s finger!

The burly man of the Ninth Layer, who had knocked aside Ke Long with one punch, was terrified when he saw Ning Fan kill the Elder Sui Ba with one finger, abandoning Ke Long and immediately retreating behind the middle-aged scholar, pleading for protection.

Ning Fan, however, didn’t spare a glance at the burly man of the Ninth Layer. With a flicker, he returned to his original spot, standing beside the two little children.

He sought revenge for the two little children only, killing the Elder Sui Ba, but held no hostility towards the cultivator who had repelled Ke Long.

He was naturally a cold person, with only the two little children capable of stirring his compassion.

"Who are you to dare kill a Punishment Pavilion cultivator!"

The middle-aged scholar remained silent, but the beautiful woman in the black dress was furious.

No one here could discern Ning Fan’s exact cultivation level, and neither could she, assuming Ning Fan was a cultivator at the Human Profound Initial or Intermediate Stage.

She believed that with her various secret techniques, she could even fight against someone at the Human Profound Advanced Stage, so she feared not Ning Fan.

But as soon as she took a step forward, before she could react to Ning Fan, his cold gaze swept over her.

Just a glance caused her breath to become chaotic, her beautiful eyes red with blood, invaded by Ning Fan’s Evil Qi.

She retreated several steps uncontrollably, her face pale, coughing up blood, already heavily injured!

Ning Fan, with just a look, inflicted severe injury upon her, such was the unimaginable power she could not fathom!

What shocked her more was that Ning Fan was not at the Human Profound Level as she imagined but was of the Ghost Profound Level!

Now understanding Ning Fan’s might, she dared not confront him, much less stand up for the unfortunate elder.

Meanwhile, the middle-aged scholar finally broke his silence and spoke.

His eyes brimmed with boundless fighting spirit, not for vengeance concerning the Elder Sui Ba, but purely to win!

He had recognized that Ning Fan was a cultivator at the Mid-stage Ghost Profound Cultivation!

"My name is Luo Xiao. If you battle me and withstand one or two of my moves, I will spare the lives of the star’s creatures. How about it?" the middle-aged scholar said amicably.

"I have no interest in the life or death of the other creatures!"

Ning Fan uttered indifferently, turning around to leave with the two little children. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

The middle-aged scholar snorted displeasedly, then fiercely waved his sleeve, directly raising the jade pen at his waist to strike at Ning Fan!

"Scram!"

Ning Fan turned his head sharply, blood-red light flashed in his eyes, and an immense red glow flew out of his body, transforming into a massive blood fist, and without a word, punched directly at the scholar!

With this punch, the scholar’s jade pen magical treasure was pulverized.

And the remaining fist glow, turning into a gale, forced the scholar to retreat a hundred feet, his gaze changing dramatically.

Suddenly turning pale, he too coughed up a mouthful of blood, looking at Ning Fan in shock!

In that shock, there was even a hint of inexplicable admiration!

"This person, with cultivation at the Mid-stage Ghost Profound Cultivation, could be this strong! If he were to practice the ’War God Art,’ how many levels of ’Divine Transformation’ could he achieve?!"

"To my Luo Family of War Kings, this person could be of great use! But I wonder, how high is his aptitude for cultivating the War God Art..." (To be continued.
