This … is the ancient devil recorded in the ancient books of the Holy Mountain!
Under this pressure, be it Pi Xiong or Duo Lan, both of them felt their scalps tingling. After all, Ning Fan's devil might was not just the pressure of the ancient devil bloodline. It was also fused with the immense baleful qi that he had accumulated throughout his path of cultivation! Even though both of them were heavenly geniuses of the Holy Mountain, they did not have much experience. How could they have seen a devil like Ning Fan who had walked out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood in their lifetime?!
Even Pi Xiong who was not as shrewd as Ning Fan could sense the dangerous qi coming from him. Cold air kept coming out from his back and cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
"Didn't you say that you want to teach me a lesson? Why haven't you made your move yet?!"
Ning Fan looked at Pi Xiong coldly and took a small step forward. Instantly, Pi Xiong who was arrogant just now retreated a few steps in panic like a frightened cow or sheep!
That was the instinct of a prairie man when facing danger!
"Senior, you must be joking. How would I dare to teach you a lesson?!" Pi Xiong forced a smile while retreating. However, the pressure in his heart was unprecedentedly heavy. He could not understand what Ning Fan meant. He thought that his rude words might have angered this person. Then, he recalled what his junior sister said about silencing him. The tightened string in his heart suddenly broke!
Is this person really here to kill me?!
This thought kept popping up in his mind, causing Pi Xiong's eyes to suddenly turn ferocious. There was actually a hint of madness in his eyes. The fear he was enduring was too great. Under the extreme fear, he actually had a trace of madness to fight for his life! Instead of being killed by Ning Fan, why don't I make the first move and gain the upper hand? I might still have a chance to live! At that moment, he even forgot his master's warning. Suddenly, he punched his chest and his face turned as pale as paper. He opened his mouth and spat out a ray of black light directly at Ning Fan's face. Then, he turned into a ray of light and fled without waiting for the result.
Ning Fan's eyes narrowed. He did not expect that Pi Xiong would really dare to attack him. He pointed his finger at the ray of black light and it turned into a spinning black bead, falling steadily on his palm. The bead seemed ordinary but the power it contained was quite incredible. If an ordinary Immortal Venerable's cultivation base was sealed, there was a high chance that they would be severely injured if they were attacked by this bead! Ning Fan was not afraid of this bead at all because of his powerful abilities.
Originally, he wanted to let Pi Xiong and Duo Lan go, but now it seemed that even if Duo Lan wasn't mentioned, there was no need to spare Pi Xiong! If they dared to make a move, then they must have the courage to bear the consequences!
With that thought in mind, Ning Fan flicked his finger. The black bead that he had just kept flew across the sky. The black bead returned to where it came from and hit the back of Pi Xiong who was fleeing in panic. In an instant, Pi Xiong's bones turned cold with fear!
"Save … save me …"
As soon as the black bead hit his back, the huge sword on his back melted into molten iron under a strange black light. Then, his clothes, the flesh on his back, and even his entire body turned into blood under a burst of black light. A rancid smell immediately spread everywhere!
It only took the blink of an eye for it to melt into a pool of blood. Pi Xiong, who was at the pinnacle of the Shedding Void Realm, couldn't even withstand a single strike from the black pearl and died instantly.
"The power of this black pearl isn't weak …" Ning Fan casually took away Pi Xiong's storage pouch. Then, he checked it with his spirit sense and frowned slightly.
Is this man really the tomb guardian of the Holy Mountain? In the memory of the Tri-Flame Armored Guard, the tomb guardian of the Holy Mountain was quite wealthy. This amount of wealth is really too little …
"You … You killed my senior brother!" Duo Lan suddenly felt sad. Even though she looked down on this senior brother of hers and even felt a little disgusted with him, she still grieved for him after witnessing his death with her own eyes. She clenched her teeth in anger and glared at Ning Fan.
"So what if I killed him? So what?! He used that black pearl to sneak attack me and was killed by it instead. He only has himself to blame. If it wasn't for that, I wouldn't have minded sparing his life. " Ning Fan said with an expressionless face. The cultivation world was not a place that could be reasoned with. If his cultivation base wasn't strong enough and he was directly killed by Pi Xiong's black pearl, who would he be able to reason with?
"You don't have to quibble! You killed my senior brother and the disciples of my Chu Lie's lineage. I, Duo Lan, will never let you go. Never! "Duo Lan said with tears in her eyes.
"In that case, I also want to silence you, huh …?" Ning Fan looked at Duo Lan coldly. His merciless gaze was like a basin of cold water that splashed Duo Lan's mind.
She must be crazy! She actually lost her mind because of her senior brother's death! She actually threatened to kill Ning Fan who was an Immortal Venerable!
He was a ferocious and cunning ancient devil. If she enraged Ning Fan, she would certainly die a horrible death just like her senior brother!
No, before I take back Chu Lie's lineage, I must not die!
"Don't worry. You are one of the saintesses of the Holy Mountain. Killing you will bring me a lot more trouble than killing Pi Xiong. It will also be harder to cover up. I won't kill you. I heard that your Great Humble Clan has an extremely evil secret technique … "
As soon as Ning Fan's voice fell, Duo Lan's face turned pale with fright.
"You … How do you know about the Three Yin Soul Locking Technique?! No. You know that I am the saintess of the Holy Mountain. You know a lot of things. You have searched the memories of those Tri-Flame Guards! "
Duo Lan panicked. She wanted to run away but she suddenly felt numb and weak. She could not use any of her magic power. Then, she felt the world spinning. Only then did she realize that her cultivation base had been sealed and she was being carried on Ning Fan's shoulder in a humiliating manner.
"Put me down! What are you going to do to me?! Let me go! I am the saintess of Chu Lie's lineage. I am … Ugh … Ugh … "
Ning Fan pointed at the Yin Plucking Technique again and sealed Duo Lan's words.
He was the successor of Ancient Chaos in the first place. In addition to the suppression of his cultivation base, it was naturally a piece of cake for him to deal with a female cultivator at the Peak Shekong Realm. Then, he opened his mouth and breathed out devil flames, burning all traces of this place. Just now, he carried Duo Lan who was in tears and left this place in a ray of travelling light.
Not long after Ning Fan left, the space in this place suddenly fluctuated strangely. Then, several strange black skeletal guards with their bodies burning with black flames suddenly walked out from the cracks in the space. The leader of the group had an Early Thought Fragmentation Realm cultivation base. His empty eyes swept across the battlefield and he let out a cold snort.
"The cultivators of the Void Flame are indeed the weakest among the three flames. They actually managed to escape after hunting down a mere Shekong Saintess … If I, Shi Yan, was the one who took action, I would definitely not fail … Well done, well done!" There was a hint of schadenfreude in his tone.
These skeletal guards who suddenly appeared left very quickly, leaving behind only the scorched land that was scorched by flames …
…
Ning Fan left the fourth grade continent all the way to the third grade continent. After walking around for a while, he found an extremely secluded cave dwelling of an ancient cultivator. He directly tore open the space and entered it.
This place was one of the places where he had searched for treasures previously. He had already searched through it. The reason why he entered this place now was not for anything else but to execute the Three Yin Soul Locking Technique on Duo Lan.
He had obtained this technique from the memories of the Tri-Flame Guards. It was extremely common in the Great Bei Clan. Most of them knew how to use it. It was similar to the Mental Seal used by the cultivators of the Four Heavens but there were some differences.
Secret techniques like the Mental Seal were used to control the opponent's life and death in order to make them submit.
The Three Yin Soul Locking Technique of the Great Bei Clan, on the other hand, did not control the opponent's life and death. Instead, it controlled the opponent's mind …
For example, a person who was struck by the Mental Seal would choose to submit because he was afraid of death. On the other hand, a person who was struck by the Three Yin Soul Locking Technique would consciously obey the orders of the caster from the bottom of their heart. Even their inner thoughts would be controlled by the caster …
The profundity of this technique was even greater than the Mental Restriction Spell. Unfortunately, this technique was only useful for cultivators of the Dabei Tribe. It was useless for cultivators outside of the tribe. It was said that the Herb Gatherer Saint used to control the herb slaves and disciples under him. It was a method that was specially made for them …
Because of this, though the Three Yin Soul Locking Technique was a low-leveled technique of the Dabian Tribe, because it was created by a saint, it was extraordinary.
However, the Three Yin Soul Locking Technique had a lot of restrictions. Firstly, the caster had to possess a certain level of medicine soul power, and the medicine soul power could not be too much weaker than the caster. Secondly, every time this technique was used, the foundation of the practitioner's medicine soul would be damaged. Every one thousand years, this technique could only be used once. If it was used for the second time, the medicine soul would collapse, and all the pill refinement techniques would be wasted.
It was precisely because of this second restriction that very few cultivators in the Daibei Grasslands would use such treacherous methods that harmed others and themselves.
Now, however, he had no choice but to use it.
Today, he had killed the Tri-Flame Guard and the tomb guardian of the Holy Mountain, Pi Xiong. Moreover, Duo Lan was a witness! In the memory of the Tri-Flame Guard, Duo Lan belonged to Chu Lie's lineage of the Holy Mountain. She was the saintess of Chu Lie's lineage. Her status was extremely noble. Even though the Holy Mountain would investigate Pi Xiong's death, they might not necessarily be able to trace it back to Ning Fan. After all, the cause of Pi Xiong's death was his black pearl. On the surface, the cause and effect was still on him. He was the one who brought it upon himself. If he deliberately covered it up, it would be very difficult to trace it back to Ning Fan. That was also the reason why Ning Fan purposely used the black pearl to attack Pi Xiong.
In the memory of the Tri-Flame Guard, Pi Xiong was a marginal existence among the tomb guardians of the Holy Mountain. If Pi Xiong died and they could not find out who the other murderer was, this matter would probably be left unsettled.
However, Duo Lan was different! If the saintess of the Holy Mountain dies, there would be more than three Immortal Emperors who would come to investigate this matter …
Of course, the Immortal Emperors would only be able to come out after the Holy Mountain's mausoleum is opened … According to Ning Fan's soul search, the Holy Mountain was the sacred land of the Great Bei Clan. Every time the five emperors of the Middle State advanced to the next realm, they would enter the Holy Mountain's mausoleum to cultivate. The Immortal Emperors of the Great Bei Clan were definitely not just the five of them in the Middle State. Even the few black armored guards did not know how many of them there were …
The Holy Mountain's mausoleum would open once every one thousand years. The opening date was not long after the grand competition of the Great Bei Clan had ended. Currently, the Holy Mountain's mausoleum was in a closed period. The cultivators inside could not come out and the people outside could not enter as well …
The tribes on the grassland would have a grand competition every one thousand years. Similarly, the Holy Mountain's mausoleum would also have a grand competition every one thousand years. The tomb guardians who failed in the grand competition must be exiled outside the Holy Mountain for a thousand years. During this period of time, they would have to supervise the various tribes of the Great Bei Clan. If they want to enter the Holy Mountain to cultivate again, they must achieve outstanding results in the grand competition …
If Ning Fan was not mistaken, be it Duo Lan or Pi Xiong who had already died, both of them were mausoleum guardians who failed to be selected in the last Grand Competition of the Holy Mountain. That was why they wandered around the outside world during the period when the mausoleum was closed …
"Wu wu wu …" Duo Lan struggled weakly. However, due to the restriction of the Yin Plucking Finger, she could not even speak a single word. Her tears flowed continuously.
Ning Fan casually threw Duo Lan into the ancient cultivator's abode. Duo Lan's buttocks were hurting from the hard ground. She leaned against the stone wall and stared at Ning Fan in fear. She knew that Ning Fan would plant the Three Yin Soul Locking Technique on her and control her mind. Her identity as the saintess could not save her. Neither could her identity as the daughter of the previous Chu Lie Emperor …
However, what made her even more afraid was that Ning Fan did not plant the Three Yin Soul Locking Technique on her immediately. Instead, he pressed his cold palm on the top of her skull!
"He … He wants to search my memory!" Duo Lan's beautiful face became even paler.
Soul Searching and Memory Erasing was such a cruel technique. As a Void Shedding Cultivator, she naturally knew that the Sea of Consciousness of a cultivator who had their soul searched would usually be damaged and turn into an idiot!
However, she did not know that Ning Fan who had learned the True Dragon Reverse Spirit Technique could perfectly search someone's soul without causing any harm to them.
A slight pain came from her Sea of Consciousness. It made Duo Lan close her eyes in despair. As for her memories, they were all seen by Ning Fan.
Ning Fan's expression was rather strange …
The memories of this Chu Lie Saintess were rather dull. The first half of her life was mostly about her being naked and soaking in a certain pond …
That pond was extremely strange. It seemed to contain a great divine ability. Ning Fan could only vaguely see it from Duo Lan's memories. He could not see the true appearance of the pond at all …
Occasionally, there would also be a few naked women who would come to the pond and soak together with Duo Lan …
Occasionally, Duo Lan would put on her clothes and leave that mysterious pond to meet a middle-aged man who was surrounded by seven-colored light.
That was her father, the previous Chu Lie Emperor!
In Duo Lan's memories, the previous Chu Lie Emperor did not care much about her. Most of the time, he was busy with cultivation.
Later on, the previous Chu Lie Emperor died in a rebellion by his disciples …
After that, the new Chu Lie Emperor ascended to the throne and took her as his disciple …
After her father's death, she never soaked in that mysterious pond again for the rest of her life. In the new Chu Lie Emperor's lineage, she was an anomaly. Her father's former subordinates cared about her but there were even more people who ostracized her. Even her master, the new Chu Lie Emperor, did not really care about her. As a result, the dignified Chu Lie Saintess, Duo Lan, had already failed to be selected in more than ten Grand Competitions of the Holy Mountain. She was exiled from the outside world for many years and was not allowed to enter the tomb to cultivate …
Ning Fan kept going through Duo Lan's memories. He had almost read through all of them. However, there was something very strange. In Duo Lan's memories, all the memories that were related to the Holy Mountain were very blurry. It was not because someone had done this on purpose. Instead, it was because the Holy Mountain did not allow cultivators who did not have a high enough cultivation base to pry into its true appearance …
"What kind of place is this Holy Mountain of the Great Humble Clan exactly? It actually has such great power that even my Soul Search is ineffective …" Ning Fan was greatly surprised.
This feeling was similar to the time when his cultivation base was low and he could not see the appearance of the Immortal Emperors under the seven-colored light. Now that his cultivation base was already extremely high, he still could not see the Holy Mountain clearly …
Time passed bit by bit. The ending that Duo Lan expected to turn into an idiot did not come. She was greatly surprised. Even though her Sea of Consciousness was a little painful, the damage was not serious. It was her first time seeing a Soul Searching Technique that caused such little damage! Even her master couldn't do this. It was obvious that this technique would be considered an extremely powerful mystical ability in the outside world.
After realizing this, Duo Lan's dread and fear towards Ning Fan grew even stronger. The Yin Plucking Finger that Ning Fan planted in her body was not too severe. At this moment, Duo Lan had already recovered some of her strength. When she saw Ning Fan retract his palm, it seemed like he had finished collecting her soul, she secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Then, she saw Ning Fan looking at her with a strange expression.
"Looking at the time, you should have recovered some of your strength, right? Stand up and take off your clothes! "Ning Fan suddenly ordered.
Duo Lan was so embarrassed that she wanted to die!
Why should I take off my clothes?! What else can I do?! Not only is this person cold-blooded and bloodthirsty, but he is also a shameless lecher!
She had guessed that she would be planted with the Three Yin Soul Locking Technique. However, she did not expect that Ning Fan would still want to do something bad to her!
This place was desolate and uninhabited. If Ning Fan wants her by force, she would not be able to resist at all. All she could do was to silently obey him. However, she would rather die than to obey him!
She could not lose her virginity! At least, not now!
The saintesses of the Holy Mountain were extremely special existences. They would soak in the Mother-Child Pool since young. They could give birth to Yin Fetus on their own without the help of intercourse between men and women!
She had soaked in the Mother-Child Pool for many years. Her body could already condense Yin Qi and give birth to a Yin Fetus. Unfortunately, she was not willing to just be a saintess who gave birth to a Yin Fetus. Thus, she did not give birth to the Yin Fetus. Instead, she absorbed the Yin Qi that she had accumulated for countless years into her body and slowly refined it to improve her cultivation base.
The Yin Qi in her body was her only hope to break through to the Immortal Emperor Realm in this lifetime! It was her only hope to take back the bloodline of Chu Lie!
However, if a man forced himself to have intercourse with her, the Yin Qi in his body would immediately form a Yin Fetus. After ten months, it would turn into a female infant …
With tears in her eyes, Duo Lan struggled to stand up. However, she did not follow Ning Fan's order to take off her clothes. Instead, she leaned against the stone wall and retreated step by step.
"I can … let you plant the Three Yin Soul Locking Technique in me. However, I will never obey you about that matter. If you force me to do so, I would rather die here! If I die, you will certainly get into big trouble once the Closed Tomb Period is over! I know that you have a great purpose for coming to the Holy Mountain. That's why I don't want to cause more trouble. If you don't do that to me, you will certainly regret it! I, Duo Lan, guarantee it with my life! "
Duo Lan uttered those words resolutely.
How could Ning Fan who was proficient in the Mind Reading Technique not see through Duo Lan's thoughts?
When did he say that he wanted to pluck Duo Lan?!
He only knew from Duo Lan's memories that many saintesses of the Holy Mountain would have an extremely unique tattoo on their bodies. Most of them would possess some extremely magical abilities. Thus, he wanted to see it for himself.
Of course, it was extremely rude to look at a woman's body recklessly. Unfortunately, it was Duo Lan who schemed against him first! According to his temperament, it was already considered as him showing mercy by not plucking Duo Lan as his human cauldron. Thus, there was no need for him to be polite to Duo Lan.
"I just want to look at your body. I will never pluck you!" Ning Fan said with a frown.
"You just want to look at my body, huh …" Duo Lan cursed Ning Fan for being shameless. Not only is he shameless, but he also has a very strange hobby.
Could it be that compared to plucking women, this person prefers to admire naked women? Or perhaps … this person is not good in that area. That's why he can only look but not eat …
"Quickly take off your clothes! You can cover the important parts. I am not interested in your body at all. I am only interested in your saintess tattoo! "Ning Fan snorted coldly.
"So Senior wants to see the saintess' tattoo …" Duo Lan heaved a sigh of relief. If that was the case, it was still not bad. Her tattoo was on her back. She only needed to show Ning Fan her back. She did not need to expose too much of it. If she was like some saintesses who had the tattoo on their chest or thighs, she would be very embarrassed today …
Thus, Duo Lan only took off her outer robe. She still had to take off her undergarment. However, it was already enough. Her fair back was already exposed to Ning Fan. Duo Lan was very skinny. There was not a trace of extra flesh on her back. Her skin was very smooth. However, there was a discordant spot on her smooth skin.
At the center of her back, there was an extremely ugly scar. It made her originally perfect back lose much of its luster.
Somehow, Ning Fan suddenly thought of Luo You when he saw the large patch of scars on her body.
That woman also had such a huge scar on her back … Is she doing well now?
"If Senior wants to see my tattoo, I'm afraid that I will have to disappoint you. My saintess tattoo has been destroyed by someone. Thus, I can't show you the power contained in it …" Duo Lan said dejectedly.
At the same time, she was a little worried. She was worried that Ning Fan would kill her out of anger if he couldn't see the tattoo.
However, this worry was obviously unnecessary.
Ning Fan was at most just a little curious about Duo Lan's saintess tattoo. If he couldn't see it, then so be it.
"Alright, put on your clothes. I'm going to cast the Three Yin Soul Locking Technique on you now. You better cooperate with me so that you won't suffer." Ning Fan said expressionlessly.
Duo Lan gritted her teeth and nodded obediently.
Compared to being killed and being plucked, just being cast with the Three Yin Soul Locking Technique was already an extremely good outcome. She could only blame herself for foolishly plotting against Ning Fan and dragging him into this muddy water, causing him to have no choice but to wield his blade against the Tri-Flame Armored Guards. In this way, after causing the trouble, he naturally had to kill them to keep their mouths shut … If it was her, she would probably make the same choice …
"I need your help as the saintess to do something in the Holy Region. If you are obedient, I will remove this technique for you before I leave the Holy Region! "
Ning Fan raised his right hand and stretched out his index finger, middle finger and ring finger. He chanted an incantation in his mind. Suddenly, three traces of Yin Flames appeared on the tips of his three fingers. Each of the flames had a different color.
As soon as the three flames appeared, Ning Fan pointed all three of his fingers at Duo Lan's glabella. An unbearable pain was felt. Duo Lan coughed out a mouthful of blood but she stubbornly did not make a sound.
"What a strong-willed woman …" Ning Fan thought to himself.
Suddenly, he recalled something and asked Duo Lan. "The reason why you and Pi Xiong appeared in the Fourth Grade Ominous Domain seemed to be for the Six Star Nirvana Origin Stone, right? Do you have an Innate Soul Nourishing Spiritual Medicine? "
Duo Lan's expression turned gloomy when she heard Ning Fan mention her senior brother. Then, she remembered that the murderer was Ning Fan. Her expression immediately turned unpleasant to Ning Fan. However, she did not dare to offend Ning Fan. Thus, she reluctantly replied. "Yes. We issued an Earth Grade Mission in the Evil Goat Tribe. At first, we didn't think that anyone would accept it. However, we didn't expect that the mission would be taken by you in the end. When you didn't return for a long time, Senior Brother and I thought that you had given up on the mission. Thus, we entered the ominous domain to look for the Six Star Nirvana Origin Stone on our own. However, we didn't expect that someone had already entered that extremely secretive mineral vein and destroyed the entire space there … "
"As soon as the space was destroyed, Senior Brother and I couldn't find the entrance to the space. Naturally, we couldn't enter the place. Fortunately, we could vaguely sense that there were people inside. Thus, we could only wait outside. However, we didn't expect that we would be discovered by the Tri-Flame Guards in just a few days. They trapped me and Senior Brother there for many days … "
When she said that, Duo Lan's beautiful eyes were filled with anger.
Usually, the Tri-Flame Guards would never appear in any ominous domain that was below the Seventh Grade! It was definitely not a coincidence that the Tri-Flame Guards appeared there. Someone must have leaked the whereabouts of her and Pi Xiong!
Who was the one who leaked the news?! Was it the cultivators of Da Bei Tribe, the five emperors of the Middle State or the other tomb guardians of the Sacred Mountain …
I don't know. In any case, it must be one of her many enemies!
Ning Fan was not concerned about Duo Lan's experience. He was only interested in the Innate Soul Nourishing Spiritual Medicine that was mentioned in the mission reward.
"The Innate Soul Nourishing Spiritual Medicine isn't in your Senior Brother's storage pouch. Is it with you?" Ning Fan asked.
"Senior, how would I dare to bring something as precious as an Innate Soul Nourishing Spiritual Medicine with me? They are all placed in my Immortal Cave on the Sacred Mountain. I can only get them after the competition of the tribes and when the Sacred Mountain reopens." Duo Lan carefully observed Ning Fan's expression. Naturally, she could tell that Ning Fan was interested in the Innate Soul Nourishing Spiritual Medicine. Thus, she explained sensibly.
"It's not with you, huh …" Indeed, if this lady was carrying the Innate Soul Nourishing Spiritual Medicine with her, she would definitely not be able to hide it from the senses of the Treasure Searching Compass.
"Forget it. When the Sacred Mountain reopens, bring me to get the spiritual medicine!" Ning Fan ordered.
"Yes …" After being hit by Ning Fan's Three Yin Soul Locking Technique, Duo Lan had a kind of obedience towards Ning Fan from the bottom of her heart. This feeling was very strange. If she really had to point it out, it was somewhat similar to Zang Yue's situation. Even though she was extremely displeased with Ning Fan, she just could not do anything to harm him …
Ning Fan was also secretly observing Duo Lan's inner thoughts. He could see through a lady's mind. If this lady had a hint of disrespect towards him, it meant that the Three Yin Soul Locking Technique was not effective enough. Then, he would have to reconsider killing her to silence her …
"Fine. You can follow me back to the grassland of the Southern Territory. I suppose you don't want to tell anyone about the Three Yin Soul Locking Technique … "Ning Fan said with deep meaning in his words.
"Of course …" Duo Lan gritted her teeth in humiliation.
As the tomb guardian of the Sacred Mountain, she would never allow herself to become anyone's soul-locking slave. She had already become Ning Fan's soul-locking slave. It would be fine if this matter was not exposed. However, if it was exposed, Ning Fan would not be able to bear the consequences and she would definitely not be able to escape from a heavy punishment. After all, this matter had tarnished the reputation of the Sacred Mountain. It was something that the emperors of the Sacred Mountain absolutely could not tolerate …
