Grasping the Evil-Chapter 853: Before Leaving
Ning Fan sat cross-legged in the Goblin Ancestor’s Cave Mansion, manipulating the Fu Li Spirit Wheel, devouring vast amounts of purple mist outside the island.
Starting from the sixth mural, they all depicted the ancient secrets of the Ancient Demon Clan.
Golden light continually flew out from the hundred murals, entering Ning Fan’s sea of consciousness, causing his mind to gradually gain some secret knowledge.
He learned that in ancient times, every member of the Ancient Demon cultivated the Technique of the Five Spirit Wheels to develop demon spiritual qi...
He learned that the Fiendgods cultivated mana, the Ancient Chaos Grand Emperor cultivated essence, and the ancient demons cultivated spiritual power. Spiritual power is the essence of the ancient demons...
He learned that the Purple Dou Immortal Sovereign’s true form was a demon, and the Zi Dou Immortal Domain is a world where demons are revered, gods follow demons, and devils follow gods...
The Technique of the Five Spirit Wheels divides the cultivation of spirit wheels into five stages, requiring the cultivation of five innate spirit wheels. With each completed stage, the number of innate spirit wheels of the ancient demons increases.
Without this technique, Ning Fan might have needed to use the spirit wheel to devour countless indomitable Demon Souls to make the spirit wheel solid.
With this technique, Ning Fan has great confidence in directly cultivating the first spirit wheel in this Ninth Layer of the Mist Sea.
In the Purple Mist World, the Fu Li Spirit Wheel was controlled by Ning Fan and transformed into a hundred-zhang giant purple-black vortex, frantically devouring the surrounding purple mist.
The mist in the ninth layer was initially very dense, but as Ning Fan insanely devoured it, the purple in the mist grew lighter.
The illusionary power within the purple mist was swallowed by the spirit wheel, and during the refinement process, produced threads of purple-black spiritual power that separated from the spirit wheel and floated towards the Goblin Ancestor’s Cave Mansion.
Countless threads of spiritual power flowed into Ning Fan’s body, causing purple-black flames to gradually ignite on his surface.
These purple-black flames separated into countless threads of fire, gradually forming a giant demon cocoon, enveloping Ning Fan within it.
Within the demon cocoon, the aura of an ancient demon increased day by day.
On the first day, Ning Fan’s spiritual power cultivation was only at the Ninth Level of Vein Opening.
By the second day, Ning Fan’s spiritual power cultivation had reached the peak Harmonious Spirit stage.
On the third day, Ning Fan’s spiritual power cultivation reached the late stage Golden Core realm.
On the fourth day, Ning Fan’s spiritual power cultivation broke through to the intermediate Nascent Soul realm.
Time flowed day by day, and Ning Fan’s ancient demon cultivation speed started to slow down, while the outer purple mist became thinner.
As the spirit wheel gradually solidified, Ning Fan vaguely felt that within him, the innate divine skill of Fu Li was beginning to truly awaken.
On the forty-ninth day, there was no purple left in the Ninth Layer’s mist.
At this moment, the demon cocoon suddenly split open, and a purple-black demon shadow flew out from the cocoon, transforming into purple light, and flew directly outside the cave mansion, spreading its wings above Demon Island!
It was a purple-black Winged Demon with an evil, fierce aura, with spiritual power comparable to the peak of Void Fragmentation.
The Winged Demon’s body stretched in the wind, immediately transforming into a size of fifty thousand zhang, with wings wide enough to cover the sky!
This Winged Demon was Ning Fan’s Fu Li demon aspect, but at this time, there was a tendency for this demon aspect to further evolve.
The Fu Li race is an indomitable race; the demon race within the clan are all Winged Demons, but their forms vary greatly.
After forty-nine continuous days of devouring purple mist, Ning Fan’s Fu Li Spirit Wheel had reached the brink of solidifying completely.
His spiritual power cultivation was only one step away from breaking through the Second Step, entering the realm of Human Profound.
His Fu Li demon aspect had also finally begun to change.
The feathers on the giant wings gradually disappeared, transforming into purple-black scales.
The sharp beak also disappeared in the purple light.
The purple light grew stronger, and the giant Winged Demon gradually transformed into a black-winged, purple-eyed giant butterfly.
At the moment when this black butterfly demon aspect completely solidified, black butterfly shadows suddenly flew out of Ning Fan’s spirit wheel.
A powerful aura immediately transmitted from the spirit wheel, and the giant butterfly’s aura also simultaneously reached the Human Profound Initial Stage!
"This, is my Fu Li demon aspect... Zi Li is the peacock demon aspect, and I, am the butterfly..."
The giant butterfly whispered something to itself softly.
The butterfly wings contracted, and amidst the purple-black demon light, the giant butterfly transformed back into Ning Fan’s figure.
At this moment, his appearance was unchanged, only having a pair of black butterfly wings behind him... The former devil aspect’s eight wings had merged into these butterfly wings!
With one flap of the butterfly wings, Ning Fan instantly transformed into a purple-black stream of light, speeding out. These butterfly wings could increase Ning Fan’s escape light foundation, enhancing his escape light!
The first innate spirit wheel was completely cultivated!
Ancient demon spiritual power cultivation also broke through to the Human Profound Initial Stage along with the insane devouring of purple mist!
The escape flight using the butterfly wings consumed no mana, and his escape speed was akin to Late Stage Enlightenment!
This was still Ning Fan’s speed without unlocking the Rain Yin Yang forces!
With the unlocking of Rain Yin Yang forces, Ning Fan’s escape speed increased dramatically, and in this state, his speed was comparable to the Peak of Shekong!
With a thought, the bloodlines of the spirit, demon, and devil races in Ning Fan began to burn.
A wave of his hand summoned the Ghost Eye Clan; golden flames immediately appeared on Ning Fan’s form, his body transforming into a golden spear, disappearing instantly.
This golden spear escape technique was the Vertical Golden Light.
The escape speed of the Vertical Golden Light was already comparable to eternal old freaks, and with Ning Fan summoning the butterfly wings, the speed of the golden light further increased by several folds!
The Fu Li race’s talent is in speed and illusion.
Demon aspect change with the cultivation of butterfly wings; these wings can significantly increase Ning Fan’s escape speed!
"Cultivating the first wheel of the Five Spirit, causing spiritual power cultivation to break through to the Human Profound Initial Stage, causing demon aspect change... The first innate divine skill I awakened from Fu Li is summoning butterfly wings for flight..."
With a thought, the butterfly wings were immediately retracted into Ning Fan’s body.
Ning Fan stretched his palm towards the distant purple-black vortex; the vortex’s brilliance immediately dissipated, transforming into a palm-sized purple-black halo, flying back into Ning Fan’s palm.
Ning Fan stretched his palm flat, and the purple-black spirit wheel rotated in Ning Fan’s palm.
The second innate divine ability he awakened was Illusory Art.
Retracting the spirit wheels into his body, Ning Fan formed a hand seal with ten fingers, instantly producing countless purple mists between heaven and earth.
The capability of these purple mists was exactly the same as the ones in the ninth layer of the Mist Sea, but slightly weaker in power.
With Ning Fan’s current cultivation, wielding this purple mist divine ability was enough to plunge those at the Initial and Intermediate Stage of Enlightenment into an illusory attack. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
Releasing the illusionary purple mist was just part of Ning Fan’s second innate ability.
Ning Fan’s seal changed, causing the illusionary purple mist he released to attack him under his control.
The reason he did this was to test another ability of his second innate skill.
Trapped in the purple mist, countless illusions appeared in Ning Fan’s eyes immediately.
Without consciously breaking the illusions, he simply stood amidst them and uttered the word ’Reverse’.
In an instant, all the illusory attacks on Ning Fan rebounded.
Fu Li’s second innate ability not only allowed him to release illusions and perceive them but also to bounce them back!
"Illusion rebound... a decent gift..."
Ning Fan nodded in satisfaction. Not many cultivators in the Four Heavens understood illusions, and at most, they could only integrate illusions into magic treasures or formations.
However, among the upper world demon race, illusions were an exceedingly common means of attack.
Having mastered the ability to rebound illusions, if Ning Fan were to encounter a demon race adept in illusionary arts in the future, he would naturally have the upper hand.
The awakening of two innate divine abilities was an unexpected joy for Ning Fan.
Of course, what pleased him the most was the complete solidification of the Fu Li Spirit Wheel.
The presence of the spirit wheel could generate spirit power.
The existence of spirit power could enhance the divine sense perception of ancient demon cultivators. It wasn’t about raising realms, but about exponentially increasing the range, distance, and precision of that perception.
With the cultivation of the first life spirit wheel, Ning Fan’s divine sense realm hadn’t escalated, but his control over his divine sense significantly advanced.
By meticulously controlling the power of the divine sense, Ning Fan could now extend his divine sense spread distance to even three times what it was before.
His five senses were now many times keener than before.
Even the Medicine Soul power within him had a more nuanced perception than before...
If he were to perform alchemy with the Medicine Soul in this state, the quality of the elixirs he refined would undoubtedly be much higher...
"Ancient God Heart Apertures, Ancient Demon Symbol, Ancient Demon Spirit Wheel... Not until this moment have I truly stepped into the realm of tri-cultivation."
"The Fu Li Spirit Wheel, engulfing illusory power, could cultivate... The illusory power of the ninth layer is incredibly potent, which allowed me to condense the first life spirit wheel in one go... The illusory power needed to condense the second life spirit wheel is too immense, at least a thousand times more than the first spirit wheel... the time it would take is certainly immense beyond measure..."
"To condense the first spirit wheel, demon spiritual power needs to reach the Human Profound Initial Stage; to condense the second spirit wheel, demon spiritual power needs to reach the Peak of Shekong; to condense the third spirit wheel, demon spiritual power needs to reach a Quasi-Saint level..."
"The Eastern Ancestral Demon only cultivated three life spirit wheels, and did not produce the fourth wheel... Therefore, he does not know what conditions are needed to condense the fourth and fifth wheels..."
Ning Fan retracted the spirit wheels and returned to the Goblin Ancestor’s Cave Mansion, his gaze sweeping over one mural after another, deeply moved.
From the ancestral cave left behind by the Eastern Ancestral Demon, Ning Fan obtained the Momentum Character Secret and the Technique of the Five Spirit Wheels, and felt a surge of gratitude toward the Eastern Ancestral Demon.
Eastern Ocean Bell, Heaven Sealing Technique, Secret Art of Prestige, Momentum Character Secret, Technique of the Five Spirit Wheels...
Along the way, Ning Fan had already received too many opportunities from the Eastern Ancestral Demon...
The Eastern Ancestral Demon had passed, and the only thing Ning Fan could do to repay him was to light a few strands of incense outside the cave mansion and bow respectfully to it.
The ninth layer purple mist had been devoured by Ning Fan into a faint white mist.
These faint mists, as time moved on, would gradually form into purple mist again, yet no one knew in which year or month this could fully happen.
No one knew that Ning Fan had obtained the ancestral emperor’s inheritance from the ninth layer of the Mist Sea; at most, the Divine Void Pavilion only knew that Ning Fan had consumed all the purple mist in this location.
Ning Fan departed all the way back to the second layer of the Mist Sea.
Along the way, those ancient monsters cultivating below the fifth layer, upon seeing Ning Fan emerge, all instinctively showed expressions of desire to converse.
To these enthusiastic old monsters, Ning Fan could only respond with a wry smile.
The three Immortal Venerables in the eighth layer regarded him as an Immortal Emperor, the five shattered minds in the seventh layer treated him as an Immortal Venerable, and the ancient monsters in the sixth and fifth layers held him in high regard, seeing him as shattered minds...
Unfortunately, Ning Fan was neither shattered minds nor an Eternal Immortal Venerable, let alone an Immortal Emperor.
When he announced his true cultivation, all the old monsters were left gaping in shock.
"This child is merely at the pinnacle of the Ghost Profound Stage! How is it possible..." countless old monsters exclaimed in disbelief.
In the second layer of the Mist Sea, Xun Ci and the other four ascent elders were guarding the eight treasure vaults on Dongming Island.
Upon Ning Fan’s arrival, the four immediately welcomed him with respect, thanking, "Thank you, Immortal Lord, for returning Dongming Island to its rightful place. We are beyond grateful!"
"It was a trivial matter... Ning Fan intends to enter the treasure vault to retrieve some items, and hopes the elders would accommodate," Ning Fan replied.
"Of course, of course. With the Immortal Lord’s ancient ancestor’s token, even if you were to empty these eight vaults, we would not dare to obstruct. Certainly, with the Immortal Lord’s reputation, he wouldn’t do something like this," Xun Ci and the others replied with a laugh, all the while scrutinizing Ning Fan closely.
Ning Fan had been in the lower layers of the Mist Sea for nearly two months, and in these two months, Ning Fan’s physical state seemed to have undergone earth-shattering changes, yet Xun Ci and the others couldn’t discern exactly what those changes were...
Ning Fan had already refined the innate ghost mask and now awakened the illusory art ability of the Fu Li race.
Within him was a power of illusion that could shield others’ perception. Coupled with the power of the innate ghost mask, even the Shenhao Twin Emperors could no longer see through his reality, let alone Xun Ci and the others...
Ning Fan bid farewell to Xun Ci and the others, carrying the token, and entered the eight treasure vaults alone.
On Dongming Island, there were a total of eight treasure vaults. The first five treasure vaults stored a large quantity of First Step cultivation materials, which were of little use to Ning Fan.
But he still made a trip to the first five treasure vaults, taking some useful items for the female cultivators in the Xuan Yin Treasure to use for cultivation.
The female cultivators in the Xuan Yin Treasure, like the ladies of the Rain Immortal World, never lacked cultivation resources.
Limited by aptitude, naturally, there were still very few women who, in this life, could not cultivate up to the Divinity Transformation, Void Refinement, or Void Fragmentation realms...
But wanting to cultivate to the Nascent Soul Realm, possessing thousands of years of life span, is still an easy task. After all, behind them lies an abundance of cultivation resources...
In the sixth treasure vault, there were all kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures required for a Fate Immortal.
The seventh treasure vault held items needed for Enlightenment.
The eighth treasure vault contained items necessary for Shedding Void Stage.
The old monsters above Shedding Void usually have their own families, and the cultivation items they need are either bestowed by the Twin Emperors or supplied by their families, seldom taken from the main pavilion of the Commercial Pavilion.
Some precious things are not placed in the main pavilion but are managed personally by the Twin Emperors to prevent the Divine Void Pavilion Cultivators from embezzling...
Among these treasure vaults, the most precious things Ning Fan found were merely the Shekong Dao Fruit, Nine Transformations Silver Grade Elixir, and Middle-grade Dao Marrow.
In terms of quality, they might not be as good as the Luo Family’s treasure vault, as more advanced items are in the hands of the Twin Emperors.
In terms of quantity, however, they are unmatched by the Luo family...
Ning Fan stayed in the last three treasure vaults for two hours, and no one knew how much he took away from the vaults.
After Ning Fan left, Xun Ci and four other Commercial Pavilion elders entered the vaults to take an inventory and were immediately stunned.
Three hundred and sixty-eight bottles of Nine Transformation Lead Elixir and Silver Elixir in total! And for pills below the Eighth Revolution, 7156 bottles were missing!
There were 790 missing Fate Immortal Dao Fruits! 58 Missing Enlightenment Dao Fruits! 12 missing Shekong Dao Fruits!
Lower-grade Dao Marrow, 237 drops missing! Middle-grade Dao Marrow, 62 drops missing!
And Dao Crystals, five trillion missing...
The rest of the losses were incalculable...
"Is this the character of the Rain Immortal Monarch? He really dares to take... It’s like he’s moving out the entire main pavilion, not afraid of angering the Twin Emperors..." An elder, with black lines on his forehead, obviously underestimated Ning Fan’s integrity...
Ning Fan had no ties with the Divine Void Pavilion, his goodwill was nearly zero, so why not take the items if he could have them for free!
"So what if he empties the vaults? His status is unquestionable, even the Twin Emperors wouldn’t dare to touch him... Moreover, I’ve heard that the ancestor seems to admire the Rain Immortal Monarch a lot... The items the Immortal Monarch took are of no use to the Twin Emperors, why would they trouble him for them..."
Xun Ci calmed himself and spoke nonchalantly.
In any case, they needed to report the missing items from the vaults to the pavilion master and the Twin Emperors.
Whether the Twin Emperors would ignore this matter or not was none of their concern...
...
Ning Fan returned to the little demoness’s chambers, and after a brief moment of affection, he immediately began closed-door cultivation.
Currently, Ning Fan’s cultivation was stuck at the peak of the Ghost Profound Stage, having reached its limit. Unless he breaks through to the Enlightenment, taking Dao Fruits would only be a waste.
He shared some Dao Fruits with the little demoness, and while Ning Fan was in closed-door cultivation, the little demoness also began her cultivation.
The Shenhao Twin Emperors eventually received reports from Xun Ci and others but did not pay it much mind, merely instructing not to spread the word about Ning Fan taking treasures.
Ning Fan found a stone chamber in the palace, and upon entering seclusion, four years passed!
For four years, he did only one thing: refined all the lower-grade and middle-grade Dao Marrows in his hand.
To a body cultivator, Dao Marrow is a supreme treasure, enhancing Body Refinement progression.
Ning Fan’s magical power cultivation was stuck at a bottleneck, but his Ancient Demon Cultivation had already broken through the Heavenly Demon Realm, without the hassle of bottlenecks.
Four years of arduous cultivation, Ning Fan refined all the Dao Marrow, causing a drastic surge in Ancient Demon cultivation, reaching the peak of the First Nirvana of Heavenly Demon.
He was just a step away from breaking through to the Second Nirvana of Heavenly Demon!
The little demoness remained in secluded cultivation, refining the vast amount of Dao Fruits Ning Fan gave her, challenging the bottleneck of the Human Profound Middle Stage. Perhaps in a few years, or decades, she would inevitably break through the Human Profound Middle Stage.
Ning Fan stood outside the little demoness’s stone chamber, looking at the thick stone door, his gaze filled with emotion.
He was prepared to leave, to depart from the Dongming Star Domain... But the little demoness, she did not intend to leave with him.
Having long shed her sacrificial identity, she was in no peril. She wished to remain at the Divine Void Pavilion, to truly become the Divine Void Young Master, to gradually rise in rank, take control of the Divine Void Pavilion’s authority, and become a support for Ning Fan...
The little demoness expressed no wish to leave, and naturally, Ning Fan would not force her. With the presence of the Ancient Chaos here at the Divine Void Pavilion, and her being no longer a sacrificial body, it was a safe haven...
Inside the stone chamber, the little demoness wasn’t cultivating, but similarly looked at Ning Fan through the thick stone door.
She knew Ning Fan had decided to leave, for he had too many tasks ahead; the Dongming Star Domain could not confine him.
Yet she chose not to follow him, to not become a mere decorative piece that idles by and wastes resources.
She wanted to stay at the Divine Void Pavilion, ready to wield its power in Ning Fan’s time of need, to provide him aid...
"I am leaving... Keep this Jade Pendant with you, if you encounter danger, break it in urgency. Only break it when you truly have no other recourse..."
From outside the stone door, Ning Fan’s voice emerged suddenly.
The next instant, a streak of light flashed and entered the stone door, transforming into an Emperor Thought Jade Pendant, landing in the little demoness’s hand.
"This... This is..." The little demoness looked at the Emperor Thought Jade Pendant in disbelief, her heartstrings tugged tightly.
She recognized it, this Jade Pendant was the Emperor Thought Jade Pendant, and it should have been a life-saving item given to Ning Fan by the Ancient Chaos Grand Emperor, yet Ning Fan had given it to her...
The little demoness hurriedly pushed the stone door open, intending to return the Jade Pendant to Ning Fan. She knew that Ning Fan, famous after a single battle, appeared glorious, but his position was more dangerous than ever, attracting the attention of numerous Eastern Heaven old monsters...
Ning Fan needed this Jade Pendant more than she did...
But unfortunately, as she stepped out of the stone door, Ning Fan had already left; there was no trace of him left here...
"I have tasks to complete, and once everything is settled, I will return to see you. Take care of yourself... If I find you’re thinner when I return, you will certainly face punishment."
Ning Fan’s voice, mixed with the misty rain, floated to the little demoness’s ears, carrying a hint of teasing.
Punishment, of course, was rather suggestive...
The little demoness spat playfully, thinking to herself how worthy Ning Fan was as the inheritor of the Ancient Chaos, with even his parting words being so teasingly indecent...
Yet why did her heart feel somewhat empty and uncomfortable...
The gentle breeze caressed the little demoness’s hair, in such a tender manner, yet with a touch of solitude...
The ever-smiling little demoness surprisingly felt a tinge of melancholy...
...
Ning Fan decided to leave Dongming.
His original intention was to seek the True Thunder World after the competition ended, to fulfill the request of the Lightning Emperor Tai Su.
Naturally, he had another task, which was to complete the Battle Art Fourth Transformation before the War King’s body decayed and awaken the War King.
Regarding the cultivation of the War God Art, Ning Fan had made a new decision. After acquiring the "Chaos Ring Art," he found a faster method for cultivation.
Ning Fan was unaware of the location of the True Thunder World. To seek it, he must first go to the Three Thousand Thunder Realm, find someone, and see if he can discover the whereabouts of the True Thunder World from them.
Near the Three Thousand Thunder Realm, there is an ancient teleportation formation. That formation can lead to the Barbaric Wilderness Battlefield of the Divine Demon World...
Ning Fan had a plan in mind. Before leaving the Dongming Star Domain, he went to bid farewell to Xiang Mingzi and Lv Wen.
Visiting Xiang Mingzi was out of courtesy.
Visiting Lv Wen was out of gratitude.
During the competition, Lv Wen had righteously helped Ning Fan greatly. Ning Fan was quite grateful to Lv Wen and naturally had to pay a visit. Officially, he was still the ’Righteous Younger Brother of the Plague King’, wasn’t he?
As soon as Lv Wen saw Ning Fan coming, he immediately held a grand banquet, summoned countless beauties, and warmly entertained Ning Fan.
Lv Wen still did not know Ning Fan’s true cultivation level. He still did not know that Ning Fan was not a cultivator of the Southern Clan.
He was shocked to find that Ning Fan was indeed the inheritor of the Ancient Chaotic Grand Emperor, the one who summoned the Ancestor of Chaos, scaring the Dark Clan into submission...
He secretly guessed that Ning Fan’s mission in the Dongming Star Domain might indeed be related to Ancient Chaos, and perhaps had already been completed?
"Heh heh, if Younger Brother Ning returns to the clan, could you perhaps say a few kind words for your elder brother in front of the ancestors..." Lv Wen said with a flattering smile.
"... My matters are not yet finished..." Ning Fan bitterly smiled and gave Lv Wen a vague answer.
"Heh heh, no rush, no rush! Younger Brother Ning, take your time. Even if it takes a thousand or ten thousand years, your elder brother can wait. For us Eternal Cultivators, a thousand or ten thousand years are just a fleeting moment, what’s there to wait for?" Lv Wen laughed nonchalantly.
This banquet, Lv Wen drank joyfully, while Ning Fan sighed repeatedly.
He did not know if Lv Wen knew the truth, whether he would still be so friendly...
However, now, as an inheritor of Ancient Chaos, even if Lv Wen knew the truth, even if the Southern Clan got the intel on his impersonation, they mostly wouldn’t do anything against him...
After leaving Lv Wen, Ning Fan returned to Tianhai Star.
He informed a few of the Luo Family’s elders about his departure, and promised to certainly return after mastering the Battle Art Fourth Transformation.
Luo Xiao’s body had already completed the Corpse Seizing and was merging with the Spirit.
Upon learning of Ning Fan’s departure, Luo Xiao also hosted a small banquet to entertain him.
Wang Meng insisted on leaving with Ning Fan to serve by his side, but was tactfully refused by Ning Fan.
Given Ning Fan’s current strength, there was no need for Wang Meng, still at the Initial Stage of Crossing Truth, to follow him. It was better for him to continue cultivating within the Luo Family.
Luo Xuan did not come to see Ning Fan, her feelings were very complicated...
Inside the clan’s cemetery, Luo Xuan stood before a new grave, her beautiful eyes lost and vacant.
That grave housed the body of her elder brother.
In her embrace, she closely held a piece of tattered white cloth, frequently taking it out to examine it...
That white cloth seemed like her treasure. Now she was certain, the owner of this cloth was indeed Ning Fan...
"He turned out to be the inheritor of Ancient Chaos... a presence even the Dark Clan dares not provoke..."
"He managed to claim the top spot in the competition, becoming a Rain Immortal Monarch renowned across the Eastern Heaven..."
"He helped me reclaim my brother’s corpse, but I have nothing to offer in return..."
Ning Fan bade farewell to the Luo Family and whisked away.
Luo Xuan suddenly lifted up her delicate chin, watching Ning Fan’s receding escape light, she seemed mesmerized.
"Thank you..." she whispered softly, as if murmuring, not knowing to whom she was speaking.
...
Wulan Star, the Chen Family.
In the Elders’ Court, a beautiful woman in a black dress was sitting cross-legged, cultivating in her chamber.
She was Chen Lingfeng, a female cultivator of the Chen Family, with an initial stage Human Profound cultivation, who once accompanied Luo Xiao to Spirit Platform Star.
The stronger Chen Family cultivators above the stage of Crossing Truth were all killed by Lv Wen. Now, the highest cultivation in the Chen Family was only at the Ghost Profound Peak-Stage.
As the Chen Family declined, Chen Lingfeng had the qualifications to become an elder of the Chen Family.
However, Chen Lingfeng couldn’t feel any joy from this. Recently, she continuously had a premonition of impending doom, as if danger was approaching step by step.
"To think that the Rain Immortal Monarch is so terrifying, a presence even the secret clans dare not provoke... The family head died because of him, and even Elder Lei Jinshi perished because of him..."
"If he finds out that I was the one who tipped off the family head, leading to the assassination attempt against him, I wonder how he would deal with me..."
"Fortunately, he will never know..."
Chen Lingfeng comforted herself for a moment, suddenly lifting her head in slight surprise.
A window, which should have been closed, had been opened at some point...
She got up and closed the window again, turned to head towards her bed, and the sight almost frightened her to death, making her face turn pale instantly.
Under the moonlight, in her fragrant boudoir, a young man in white with a cold and merciless gaze was quietly watching her!
"Chen Lingfeng, isn’t it... From today onward, you will be Ning’s Cauldron Furnace!"
Ning Fan’s eyes flashed with cold light. Inconsequential cultivators could be ignored, but Chen Lingfeng, he would not let her go!
He had already soul-searched several Chen Family cultivators, and the person who set him up to be assassinated on the day of the competition... was indeed Chen Lingfeng! (To be continued.
