Grasping the Evil-Chapter 820: Fourteen Generals
This white-robed youth, if not Ning Fan, then who else could it be!
With Ning Fan’s current cultivation, a casual grasp could immediately transform into a Demonic Aura Giant Claw, nearly tearing apart the earth-shattering force of this place.
Before the yellow-robed elder could finish speaking, he was directly torn into countless fragments by Ning Fan’s claw, his body exploding into a rain of blood, scattered over the devil mountain.
Only one Spirit remained, not yet fallen, but it was in a weak breath, forcibly captured by Ning Fan, looking at him with extreme fright, tongue-tied and saying,
"You... who actually are you! Why would you kill me!"
With the yellow-robed elder’s insight, he could naturally perceive that Ning Fan’s killing intent was not due to the reckless actions of his four subordinate Immortals.
That killing intent was for revenge! It had accumulated over many years!
Yet the yellow-robed elder couldn’t recall when he had provoked such a formidable Old Monster!
With just one strike, his entire being was destroyed; such power surely was at the Crossing Truth level!
"This person is definitely an Enlightenment Old Demon! Enlightenment, Enlightenment... I dare say I’ve never offended any Enlightenment Old Demon in my life! The people I’ve killed throughout my life, none had any Enlightenment elders... Why would this person kill me!"
Unable to comprehend, the yellow-robed elder couldn’t understand where Ning Fan’s killing intent originated!
Ning Fan sneered coldly, looking at the Spirit in his hand with extreme terror, he patted his storage pouch, pulled out an old and worn bounty notice, and showed it to the elder.
Upon glancing at the bounty notice, the yellow-robed elder’s memory was instantly awakened bit by bit.
His eyes widened in shock.
He looked at Ning Fan, trembling all over.
"It’s you, it really is you! No wonder you have such hatred toward me; it turns out, it’s you!"
"Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! You were just a mere Void Fragmentation back then, even if you joined the Slaughter Hall later, it’s impossible to cultivate to the Crossing Truth realm within just a few hundred years... it’s fake, all fake, I don’t believe it!"
A strong sense of regret flashed in the yellow-robed elder’s eyes.
Although he said he didn’t believe it, he was already convinced to the fullest that the white-robed youth before him was Ning Fan...
He once set a bounty of thirty million Dao Crystals for Ning Fan and personally led people to hunt him down, but was heavily wounded by Xuekongzi, finally ceasing the hunt.
He received orders from powerful figures in the Pill Sect to set another bounty for Ning Fan, this time a hundred billion...
But to his disappointment, the hundred billion bounty didn’t kill Ning Fan.
What shocked him even more was Ning Fan’s slaughter of a hundred Immortals in the Yao Zong Star Region, and eventually sweeping countless Eastern Heaven’s Chosen, joining the Slaughter Hall.
Now, he, the dignified Seven Sha Sect Master, was finally going to die at the hands of the Void Fragmentation youth from those years...
Powerless to resist, utterly powerless...
If he had known this day would come, he definitely wouldn’t have chosen to be enemies with Ning Fan...
His eyes were full of regret, but after regret, there gradually was madness.
"You can’t kill me, the current me..."
Ning Fan didn’t offer the yellow-robed elder more words, he squeezed firmly, directly crushing the Spirit in his hand into blood mist.
His cold gaze then swept toward the other four Immortals of the Seven Fiends Sect.
"Not good!"
The four Immortals of the Seven Fiends Sect were immediately scared out of their wits, throwing their Iron Sedan, and fled without saying another word.
Ning Fan could kill a Dao Line of Life Old Monster with a single strike, how could they be opponents to Ning Fan!
Moreover, they also saw the bounty notice and remembered the events of years past.
That year, they too hunted down Ning Fan, Ning Fan certainly wouldn’t spare them!
Ning Fan slightly closed his eyes, not watching the escaping four Immortals.
The four Immortals thought Ning Fan intended to let them go, and were overjoyed.
But the next instant, four cracks suddenly opened in the heavens and earth, and four illusory swords flew out from them.
The four swords descended in a flash, instantly slaughtering all four Immortals.
Ning Fan didn’t even bother to collect the storage pouches of the four.
In his hand, he only held the storage pouch of the Seven Sha Sect Master; after scanning it with his spirit sense, finding nothing tempting, he just kept the Dao Crystals and burned all the rest with Black Dragon evil fire.
His face showed no happiness whatsoever, for to him, killing was not a joyful thing.
It’s just that his principle has always been clear in grudges and gratitude, and since there was a bloody mist of deep vengeance between them, he couldn’t possibly be magnanimous and let it go.
"The Seven Sha Sect Master is dead, but behind the Seven Fiends Sect, there was the shadow of the Pill Sect. The hundred billion bounty of the year, although issued in the name of the Seven Fiends Sect, was actually manipulated by the Pill Sect in secret... This time it was the Seven Sha Sect Master, next time, it will be the Sect Master of the Pill Sect..."
With a flash of cold light in Ning Fan’s eyes, he then stepped forward, once more riding the Escape Rainbow, heading towards the Guibing Sect.
According to his inquiries, within the Guibing Sect there was only one Shedding Void Stage, the Guibing Ancestral Master.
Seven or eight Crossing Truth Realm cultivators, ten or so Ghost Immortal Realm cultivators, besides this, there were no second step of cultivation.
These Crossing Truth, Ghost Immortal were not all Guibing Sect Masters, some came for refining magical treasure.
Ning Fan flew across the Tribulation Moon Sea, his figure leaping, landing atop the peak of the mountain in the devil mountain within the evil ocean.
Outside the mountain gate of the Ghost Soldier Sect, at this moment, there were seven second step of cultivation waiting.
Among these seven, there were two Crossing Truth Realm, five Fate Immortal, all were treasure-seeking cultivators.
With their cultivation, they naturally couldn’t invite the Guibing Ancestral Master to personally refine.
They sought only the disciples of the Guibing Ancestral Master...’Fourteen Generals’...
When Ning Fan arrived, the two Crossing Truth Realm immediately scanned Ning Fan with their spirit sense; upon realizing Ning Fan was at the Ghost Profound Peak-Stage, they shook their heads slightly.
The mist in the Tribulation Moon Sea has the effect of isolating spirit sense, no matter how strong their spirit sense is, it cannot cover the entire Tribulation Moon Sea.
Even so, they faintly sensed the wave of spell casting from the direction of the Tribulation Moon Sea earlier, and upon seeing the Evil Qi on Ning Fan, they guessed that he was the one who caused the disturbance.
"No need to ask, the one who committed murder in the Tribulation Moon Sea earlier is most likely this boy. Does he not know that the Guibing Ancestral Master has strictly prohibited any foreign cultivators from killing in the Tribulation Moon Sea? For violating this prohibition, the Guibing Sect will never agree to refine magical treasures for this person."
The other five Fate Immortals did not possess the spirit senses as powerful as the two Enlightenment Old Demons, and did not sense the spell casting waves from the Tribulation Moon Sea earlier.
Of the five Fate Immortals, four have the Human Profound Level cultivation, and only one is an early-stage Ghost Profound cultivator.
The five Fate Immortals, upon detecting the lingering Evil Qi on Ning Fan, immediately changed their expressions.
If they were not mistaken, Ning Fan should have just slain a Human Profound cultivator, only then would he leave such a fierce Evil Qi.
These seven Second Step cultivators are all strangers to each other and have come seeking the Fourteen Generals to refine treasures.
Ning Fan was the eighth Second Step cultivator to arrive.
As soon as Ning Fan arrived, with the obvious aura of just having committed murder, several disciples of the Guibing Sect immediately approached him at the mountain gate, with hostile looks, questioning Ning Fan,
"Senior, did you kill someone in the Tribulation Moon Sea?" Although they called him senior, there was absolutely no respect in their tone.
These disciples of the Guibing Sect, merely in the Void Fragmentation realm, dared to harshly question Ning Fan, a Second Step cultivator, relying naturally on the influence of the Guibing Sect.
Ning Fan frowned slightly, yet he still answered, "Indeed, I killed. Is it forbidden to kill in the Tribulation Moon Sea?"
"Precisely! The Guibing Ancestral Master has ordered that any cultivator daring to kill in the Tribulation Moon Sea is considered disrespectful to the Guibing Sect. Any request to refine treasures, our Guibing Sect will absolutely deny. Senior, please leave! You’ve killed someone, therefore you are disqualified to seek our Guibing Sect to refine treasures!"
As they uttered these words, the few Void Fragmentation disciples displayed arrogance, as if standing before them was not a Second Step elder, but merely a low-rank junior.
Ning Fan furrowed his brow deeper, but he slightly raised a hand and pulled out a token.
It was a bronze token, with an emblem of a coffin tomb engraved on the front.
The northern side of the token bore the character "Luo".
If a spell were cast onto this token, it could show the name of the token holder and their tomb guardian value.
"This person is actually a Tomb Guardian of the War King Luo family!"
Including the two Enlightenment cultivators, all seven Fate Immortals revealed shocked expressions. Looking at Ning Fan again, their gaze carried an intent to befriend.
Those few Void Fragmentation disciples, upon seeing this token, were also greatly surprised. Their prior arrogance vanished instantly, immediately clasping their fists towards Ning Fan and saying,
"Senior, forgive us, we juniors did not know you were a Tomb Guardian of the Luo family. Any transgressions, we hope senior will be magnanimous!"
They dared to question Ning Fan by relying on the Guibing Sect’s influence.
But compared to the War King Luo family, the Guibing Sect seemed somewhat insignificant.
Especially since the Guibing Ancestral Master previously ordered that upon seeing a Tomb Guardian of the Luo family, they must be treated as honored guests. This order made them even less daring to slight Ning Fan. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
"I am here to ask the Guibing Ancestral Master to assist in refining a treasure. May I ask if you can lead me to your sect’s Ancestral Master?" Ning Fan tucked away the Tomb Guardian Token and asked calmly.
With his cultivation, naturally, he wouldn’t compare himself to a few juniors.
"Senor has come at an inopportune time... Eight years ago, the Ancestral Master was already waiting for senior to arrive, but as you were late, the Ancestral Master also went into closed-door cultivation, beginning to refine another treasure instead. Currently, he has not emerged, and no one knows when he will exit seclusion." Several Void Fragmentation disciples replied respectfully.
"Is that so, that’s my fault then, I was late... Since that is the case, I’ll come to refine the devil armor some other time."
Ning Fan shook his head, turned around intending to leave.
The matter of devil armor cannot be pursued for the time being, then let me first visit the Divine Tomb. Now that I am a Tomb Guardian, I am qualified to enter the lower layers of the Divine Tomb...
Several Void Fragmentation disciples naturally dared not to stop Ning Fan from coming or going, and the other seven Second Step cultivators initially intended to make an acquaintance with Ning Fan, but seeing Ning Fan hurrying to leave, they did not forcibly stop Ning Fan to chat.
Just as Ning Fan turned to leave, a cold and severe voice came from within the Guibing Sect, instantly, fourteen streams of light shot to the sky and descended on the ground, transforming into fourteen figures blocking Ning Fan.
"Wait! You cannot leave yet!"
Among those fourteen people, one person immediately stepped forward, speaking coldly to Ning Fan.
This was a tall man in a blue robe, possessing a Ghost Profound Peak cultivation, wearing spirit equipment and defensive armor all over.
"We mountain-guarding disciples greet the Fourteen Generals!" Earlier, several disciples guarding the mountain immediately saluted the arriving individuals.
The other seven Second Step cultivators seeking treasures here, upon seeing the Fourteen Generals all present, blocking Ning Fan, also changed their expressions.
With their vision, they could naturally tell the Fourteen Generals came with ill intentions, their gaze towards Ning Fan full of hostility.
"Is it the Fourteen Generals of the Guibing Sect..."
Ning Fan furrowed his brow, his gaze sweeping over the fourteen cultivators before him.
Among these fourteen, three were late-stage Ghost Profound, seven were Ghost Profound Peak, and four were early-stage Crossing Truth.
The previous blue-robed man was ranked eighth among the Generals.
This person’s gaze towards Ning Fan was filled with hostility, and the other Generals discreetly spread out, blocking all of Ning Fan’s escape routes.
"Are you all assembling like this to spar with Ning Fan?" Ning Fan asked in a deep voice.
After all, he was here at the Guibing Sect to request the refining of a treasure. According to Luo Shix, the Guibing Ancestral Master had quite a friendship with the Luo family.
Considering this friendship, as long as the Guibing Sect did not act excessively, Ning Fan would not overly concern himself with the Guibing Sect.
"Hm! I have no time to spar with you! Speak, the Seven Sha Sect Master, did you kill him? Even if you are of the War King Luo family, if indeed you did, I will not let you leave the Guibing Sect today!"
"What if it’s true?" Ning Fan replied coldly.
"Good! So it was indeed you who killed him, if that’s the case, you will stay here today!"
The blue-robed man snorted coldly, raising his hand to summon a silver rope, aiming to bind Ning Fan.
As soon as the rope soared, it transformed into silver lightning, fiercely lashing towards Ning Fan.
