Seeing that everyone was suppressed by the Ancient Imperial Sword, Xue Changkong burst into laughter. His confidence skyrocketed and the gloominess in his heart that was injured by Ning Fan's punch was swept away.
The body of the Ancient Imperial Sword was engraved with mysterious patterns. It was wrinkled and undulating like the bark of a tree. Its immortal qi was overwhelming. As the giant sword was swung, the shadows of countless ancient buildings appeared in the starry sky. Those ancient buildings emitted a supreme aura force that made people want to worship it uncontrollably. It was extremely strange.
Many old monsters of the Slaughter Palace who recognized the sword had a drastic change in expression. They cried out involuntarily. "This sword is actually forged from the ruins of the Ancient Heavenly Court's five buildings and twelve pavilions! It contains real immortal spiritual power. I'm afraid it's much more powerful than ordinary Innate Magical Treasures! "
Xue Changkong swung the giant sword and a massive sword qi rushed out like a white dragon. The dazzling sword light made everyone unable to open their eyes. The sword light was too fast. It seemed to have reached the end of the starry sky in an instant and was about to fall on Ning Fan.
Countless people's eyes were focused on the Ancient Imperial Sword. They were shocked by the unparalleled aura force of the sword. Xue Changkong's cultivation base was already stronger than the Immortal King Nether Sea. He could be considered as one of the top experts among the quasi-emperors. Now that he used the Innate Magical Treasure Sword to attack, it was almost as powerful as an Immortal Emperor's attack!
No one thought that Ning Fan could withstand the attack of the sword. Not even the Immortal King Nether Sea was an exception. Ming Hai's expression was as heavy as steel as if he was facing a formidable enemy. Just as he was about to help Ning Fan from the side, Ning Fan raised his hand and stopped him.
"Great Elder, quickly go and quell the rebellion in the palace to prevent the disciples from suffering too many losses. Leave this person to me!"
Ning Fan's tone carried the calmness of someone who had been through many trials and tribulations. To ordinary cultivators of the Eastern Heaven, a quasi-emperor was already a supreme existence. However, to him, a quasi-emperor was no longer a formidable enemy.
As he spoke, Ning Fan raised his other hand to the sky and took out a black kasaya. As soon as the monastic robe appeared, the surroundings were immediately swept up by demonic winds. As for the monastic robe, it grew in size amidst the demonic winds, completely enveloping the attack that Xue Changkong had unleashed with all his might. Then, it wrapped itself around the monastic robe, completely sealing off the attack and preventing it from leaking out.
This item was none other than the Black Mountain Bear Ancestral Kasaya that Ning Fan rarely used. He had seized it from Great Emperor Tian Du. It was a magic treasure that could be used for both offense and defense. It could be worn as a protective armor or as a magic treasure that could control the heavens and earth.
Countless people were so shocked that they could not close their mouths. Ning Fan had easily blocked Xue Changkong's attack!
"This kid actually has a Connate Magic Treasure as well! Moreover, it seems as if he didn't expend much energy to receive Xue Changkong's attack! "
The Nether Sea Immortal Monarch was shocked. Then, his expression changed to one of guilt and admiration. His expression was extremely complicated.
After witnessing Ning Fan's strength, the Nether Sea Immortal Monarch knew that Ning Fan was the only one on his side who could fight Xue Changkong on equal footing … Only the Young Emperor could protect the Slaughter Palace and the descendants of the Northern Dipper Sect!
"If that's the case, I'll have to trouble the Young Emperor to hold him back for a while. After I kill the rest of the rebels, I'll come and help the Young Emperor to kill the traitor Xue Changkong to avenge the Palace Lord!"
"Mm. Go. Kill all the rebels this time. Leave their primordial spirits behind. I want to offer them as a blood sacrifice!"
"Understood!"
Addressing himself as a subordinate meant that the Nether Sea Immortal Monarch had truly acknowledged Ning Fan's identity as the Eighth Young Emperor.
Only a few years had passed. The young man who was still at the First Step in the past had now become the only hope of the Slaughter Palace …
While speaking, Ning Fan was still unhurriedly dealing with Xue Changkong's attacks. On the surface, he seemed to be able to deal with Xue Changkong's attacks with ease. However, every time he blocked Xue Changkong's attack, he would need to consume a large amount of magic power. It was not an easy task to forcefully block his opponent's attacks. It was not difficult to dodge the attacks as it would save a lot of magic power. However, if he only focused on dodging and allowed the attacks to spread in all directions, many of the other disciples of the Slaughter Palace would be killed by the aftershocks.
At this moment, he kept his ghost face and dark immortal cloud. Only his white robes were left floating in the starry sky. His expression was like a piece of ice that would never melt.
The God Exterminating Shield could not be used for the time being. In that case, it would not be easy to kill a Quasi-Emperor …
As Ning Fan's eyes sharpened, rain suddenly fell from the starry sky.
The raindrops formed a path of stars. Ning Fan stepped on the path of rain, approaching Xue Changkong step by step. Every step he took was filled with unimaginable baleful qi and devil intent!
Xue Changkong's heart could not help but race. His body instinctively felt uneasy when he saw Ning Fan approaching him. He swung his giant sword even faster, slashing at Ning Fan one after another. However, all of his attacks were blocked by the Ancestral Bear Kasaya.
What made him uneasy was that Ning Fan also had an Innate Magical Treasure which allowed him to block his Ancient Que Sword Slash with ease. Another thing was that the baleful qi on Ning Fan's body was extremely heavy. It was something that he had never seen before in his life!
One should know that even the notorious immortal emperors might not necessarily have such a level of baleful qi. In order to strengthen the baleful aura to such a degree, just killing people was not enough. One had to kill Immortal Emperors!
[I've killed a Six Tribulation Immortal Emperor before!]
Xue Changkong suddenly recalled Ning Fan's words and his heart shuddered!
Previously, Xue Changkong had only treated those words as a joke, and he had not taken them seriously. However, at this moment, he began to take them seriously!
His body's instincts told him that Ning Fan was very likely a dangerous being who was comparable to an ancient Immortal Venerable. Perhaps … Ning Fan had really killed an Immortal Emperor before. Otherwise, why would he feel a chill when facing Ning Fan's baleful qi?!
However, his rationality told him that Ning Fan was just an ancient Immortal Venerate. Killing an Immortal Emperor was just nonsense! What was an Immortal Emperor? An Immortal Emperor was a peak existence during the Age of Chaos! It was the lifelong pursuit of countless second step immortal cultivators! It was an unattainable dream!
How could an Immortal Venerable kill an Immortal Emperor? A bunch of nonsense!
That's right! That's right! This baleful qi must have been faked using an extremely mysterious method! That must be it!
"What a cunning child! You actually faked your baleful qi to scare me. Do you think I will believe you? Do you think I will be afraid of you because of this?! However, I didn't expect you to also have an Innate Magic Treasure. No wonder even Xing Yan was defeated by you. I shouldn't underestimate you. Unfortunately, you don't know that there are differences in strength between Low Grade Innate Magic Treasures. Your magic treasure might be able to block my ordinary slashes, but if I use the true power of this sword, killing you will be as easy as flipping my palm! Do you know that the ancestors of all cultivators have a common name called Immortal Spirit?! "
Xue Changkong sneered. He used a sword technique that was personally taught to him by the clan leader of the Disaster Clan. He activated the Immortal Spirit power contained in the Ancient Imperial Sword bit by bit. His entire body was enshrouded in Immortal Qi, making him look like an ancient Immortal with an indomitable aura.
"First came the Divine Spirit, then came the Immortal Spirit. Once the path to immortality is opened, the incense will continue."
This was a sentence recorded in the top-secret dossier of the Disaster Clan. Xue Changkong did not understand its specific meaning. He only vaguely knew that there was a kind of power in this world called [Immortal Spirit Power]. It was the ultimate power that only ancient Immortal Spirits could possess. It was a power that cultivators could not grasp. It was even harder to fathom than the power of heaven and earth and the power of the Great Dao.
The Ancient Imperial Sword shot out countless immortal qi. As the immortal qi trembled, the starry sky drizzle that was attracted by Ning Fan became motionless.
The giant sword then pointed at Ning Fan. Billions of tiny light rays flew out from the body of the sword. Those were sword shadows that were as small as the hair of a cow. They were condensed from the legendary Immortal Spirit Power!
Billions of tiny light rays fell like a rainstorm of pear blossoms, sweeping across the starry sky. When they broke through the air, they let out ear-piercing cries of thousands of birds and shot towards Ning Fan.
Some of the disciples of the Slaughter Palace did not manage to dodge in time and were struck by some of the tiny Immortal Spirit Swords. Their bodies instantly turned into stone and died. The way they died was extremely strange. It was as if their blood essence and cultivation base had been completely devoured by the tiny Immortal Spirit Swords.
Ning Fan's eyes narrowed. He tried to use his Ancestral Bear Kasaya to collect those tiny Immortal Spirit Swords. However, he only managed to collect thirty percent of them. The remaining seventy percent of them broke through the defense of the kasaya and approached him with unstoppable momentum.
Ning Fan's expression turned solemn. He took out a shabby palm-leaf fan and activated his ability. He fanned the fan a few hundred times at the rainstorm of sword needles. Another thirty percent of the sword needles were burned into ashes by the blazing flames. However, there were still forty percent of them that did not lose their momentum. They rushed to within one thousand zhang * (3.33m per zhang) of him, giving him a sense of danger.
Currently, he had yet to repair the God Exterminating Shield. If these sword needles come close to his body, he would more or less be injured. Of course, it would not be fatal. After all, the strength of a derelict divine spirit body was undeniable. Besides, he had a feeling that the immortal spirit power of these tiny Immortal Spirit Swords was somewhat similar to the divine spirit power that was gushing out of his body. However, it was somewhat different …
"What a powerful Ancient Imperial Sword. Even two Innate Magical Treasures could not withstand its full power … But what if I have three Innate Magical Treasures?!"
Under Xue Changkong's shocked gaze, Ning Fan took out the third Innate Magical Treasure, the Divine Lightning Mirror!
This treasure was the most powerful one among all of Ning Fan's Low Grade Innate Magical Treasures. When the mirror shone on the remaining forty percent of the tiny Immortal Spirit Swords, all of them were destroyed by the lightning and the attack completely dissipated.
Ning Fan changed his hand seal again. Another divine lightning as thick as a bowl shot out from the mirror. It instantly reached three chi * (3.33m per zhang) above Xue Changkong's head!
Xue Changkong was shocked. He instinctively used the Ancient Imperial Sword to block it. Even though he managed to block most of the lightning power, his ghost face was still destroyed, revealing his true appearance. He was an old man with white hair and a youthful complexion. His hair bun was also loosened. His disheveled appearance made him look a little disheveled. His expression became even more gloomy.
"This young man actually has three Innate Magical Treasures. Moreover, this Ancient Realm Magical Treasure doesn't seem to be any weaker than the Ancient Imperial Sword … Where did this young man get so many magical treasures?! If you say that they were given to him by Ancient Chaos, I definitely won't believe it! "
Xue Changkong was not the only one who knew about this. Everyone in the world knew that Ancient Chaos had died with only a trace of an illusion left. He did not keep any of his supreme treasures with him when he was alive. How could he possibly give them to Ning Fan?!
However, Xue Changkong would definitely not believe that Ning Fan collected these magic treasures with his own strength and not given to him by anyone!
"This young man has three Innate Magical Treasures. It won't be easy for me to kill him. I don't need to hold back anymore!"
Xue Changkong suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a ray of golden light. It was actually a golden nematode.
That nematode lived in his body and cultivated together with his life. It was extremely powerful. He was not the only one. Most of the cultivators of the Calamity Clan would raise nematodes in their bodies. Most of the nematodes were different.
This golden nematode had two heads on both sides. One of them was female while the other was male. As soon as it appeared, it grew in the wind and turned into a gigantic beast that occupied the starry sky. Its mouth was shaped like a suction cup. When it breathed, it could even suck the Great Dao into its stomach. Its cultivation base was at the Five Tribulations Immortal Realm. However, the strangeness of this nematode gave Ning Fan a feeling that it was much harder to deal with compared to ordinary Five Tribulation Immortal Kings.
"You can't defeat me alone so you asked for help, huh …" Ning Fan said expressionlessly.
Xue Changkong's face turned red. He felt extremely embarrassed. His cultivation base was much higher than Ning Fan's. It was indeed a little embarrassing for him to need help to defeat Ning Fan. Losing face once or ten times is still the same. Since he had already summoned the nematode in his body, it wouldn't matter if he summons other worms too!
Today, he must kill Ning Fan no matter what to accomplish his plan!
Xue Changkong spat out hundreds of parasites from his body. It seemed like parasitic spiritual worms were his favorite. These parasites were at least at the Thought Fragmentation Realm. There were more than ten of them at the Immortal Venerable Realm and two more at the Immortal King Realm.
As Xue Changkong gave an order, all of the parasites attacked Ning Fan. As for himself, he activated the immortal spiritual power of the Ancient Imperial Sword again and slashed out billions of tiny immortal spiritual swords at Ning Fan.
Ning Fan patted his storage pouch and a few treasures flew out. His expression did not change at all. He was not afraid at all even though he was surrounded by hundreds of parasites.
In the past, when he fought against unparalleled existences, the strategy he chose was to use the God Exterminating Shield to defend himself. He wanted to be undefeatable and then look for an opportunity to win.
Now that the God Exterminating Shield was damaged, he changed his strategy. He directly used his many Innate Magical Treasures to launch a fierce attack!
Even if he summoned four to five Quasi-Emperor Realm parasites, Ning Fan was confident that he could kill all of them with his fierce attacks, let alone the fact that the parasites that Xue Changkong summoned were only at the Five Tribulation Immortal King Realm!
As soon as the Divine Lightning Mirror shone with lightning, the billions of tiny immortal spiritual swords were all shattered by the lightning. The unique feature of this mirror was that everything that it could see was included in the list of attacks. Naturally, it would not miss anything!
As the poisonous smoke from the Five Venom Banner rose, the gigantic parasites turned into pus and blood within the poisonous smoke.
The Wind Fire Fan burned everywhere while the Five Tribulation Immortal King Realm parasites died.
As soon as the Lightning Prison Rope tied them up, the Five Tribulation Immortal King Realm parasite with the highest cultivation base was already tied up and turned into ashes by the Five Tribulation Immortal King Realm.
The Black Mountain Bear Ancestral Kasaya wrapped itself around countless parasites. Then, it shook it and countless insect bones and ashes fell to the ground. Those who entered it died.
Xue Changkong coughed out blood continuously. He could not believe the scene in front of him!
Ning Fan only used the Divine Lightning Mirror to completely suppress his Ancient Imperial Sword. Then, he used even more Innate Magical Treasures and killed all the parasites that he had painstakingly cultivated for many years at lightning speed!
In order to cultivate those parasites to such a high cultivation base, one must cultivate together with their lives! When the host dies, the parasites die. When the parasites die, the host will be injured!
Every time a parasite was killed, he would be injured because of the connection between their minds. The higher the cultivation base of the parasite that died, the greater the damage he would suffer!
Ning Fan only used around ten breaths to kill all of his parasites. The price for the death of the parasites was that Xue Changkong's body was already severely injured due to the backlash. The price he had to pay was definitely huge!
How is this possible?! How is this possible?!
Ning Fan only used around ten breaths to kill all of his spiritual worms!
Ning Fan actually used six Innate Magical Treasures at the same time!
How could the Doomsday Immortal Venerable have so many treasures?! This is impossible! Absolutely impossible!
One had to know that the proudest thing in Xue Changkong's life was that he already possessed a Innate Magical Treasure before he truly stepped into the Immortal Emperor Realm!
Even for a clan as strong as the Calamity Clan, not everyone was qualified to obtain Innate Magical Treasures. He was not the only Young Emperor of the Calamity Clan. In fact, he was just a Young Emperor who was ranked nineteenth among the Calamity Clan. Besides, he was not an Immortal Emperor. Originally, he did not have the qualifications to be bestowed Innate Magical Treasures by the clan.
Thus, he gave up his comfortable life in the clan and risked his life to accept the mission. Then, he lurked in the Slaughter Palace and wreaked havoc in secret.
As a result, he was rewarded with the Ancient Imperial Sword!
The clan leader had even promised in front of countless clan members that if he, Xue Changkong, could complete the mission and secretly seize the Sacred Heavenly Desolate Sword, he would be promoted from the nineteenth young emperor to the fourth young emperor on the day he returns. He would also be rewarded with a second Innate Magical Treasure!
Resources were limited in the Age of Chaos. How could there be so many materials to forge Innate Magical Treasures? Even the Immortal Emperors would rarely have two Innate Magical Treasures!
To him, two Innate Magical Treasures was just an unattainable dream. However, what did Ning Fan do to have six Innate Magical Treasures?!
This matter had shaken his pride as the young emperor of the Calamity Clan a little. He felt that it was unfair and his sense of superiority had completely vanished.
Ning Fan naturally would not let go of the moment when Xue Changkong was distracted.
"You're distracted."
Ning Fan's voice traveled along the path of rain in the starry sky and reached Xue Changkong's ears.
However, Ning Fan's figure had completely vanished from the starry sky without him noticing.
Xue Changkong's heart skipped a beat. To his horror, he realized that the starry sky around him was dead silent. Not only could he not find Ning Fan's figure, but he also could not see any of the disciples of the Slaughter Palace!
The starry sky was empty. There was not a single person or star in sight. Not even the main star of the Slaughter Star could be seen!
He was the only one left in the lonely starry sky. His body was slowly melting into a puddle of blood for some unknown reason, giving off a putrid smell …
"Not good! It's an illusion technique! Release! "
Xue Changkong circulated the magic power in his body and his eyes regained their clarity. The illusory scenery around him disappeared. He was still standing on the starry sky battlefield.
The only difference was that his entire body was being tied up like a dumpling by the Lightning Prison Rope.
His magic power began to be sealed. He wanted to struggle but he could not break free at all …
Then, the terrifying poisonous smoke of the Twenty-Four Poisonous Banners blew over.
The lightning fire of the Five Lightning Annihilation Barrier shot out from the barrier.
The lightning light of the Divine Lightning Mirror shot out.
The smoke of the Wind Fire Fan blew over.
The attacks of the Innate Magic Treasures landed on Xue Changkong who was defenseless, causing his injuries to worsen.
Xue Changkong was a dignified Quasi-Emperor. Even if he was not an expert in body refinement, his physical body was certainly not weak. Unfortunately, when his magic power was sealed, it was impossible for him to withstand the joint attacks of the many Innate Magic Treasures. Very soon, he was on the verge of death. His breathing was weak and he was only breathing out.
All the disciples of the Slaughter Palace were speechless!
No one expected that the battle between Ning Fan and Xue Changkong would be so one-sided! Ning Fan was too strong. He actually had six Innate Magic Treasures in his hands! Those who were not Immortal Emperors were not Ning Fan's match at all! They could only be suppressed and bullied by Ning Fan!
"I don't accept this! I don't … accept this! You are just relying on … having a lot of magic treasures! If it's a fair battle, you are definitely not my match! " Xue Changkong's voice was like a gossamer. He gritted his teeth and said unwillingly. He did not beg for mercy but only sneered.
Unfortunately, an enemy was an enemy. No matter how tough he was, he would not let him go.
"The Dao is unfair. The fairness that you mentioned never existed in the past and it will never exist in the future."
With a flash of red light, Ning Fan appeared in front of Xue Changkong and stopped all the Innate Experts' attacks. He formed a series of hand seals with both of his hands and the Heaven Seizing Imprint was instantly formed. Then, he pressed it on the top of Xue Changkong's head, causing his dying physical body to explode into blood mist. Then, he extracted Xue Changkong's unconscious primordial spirit from the blood mist. He was not in a hurry to kill it. Instead, he sealed it and imprisoned it.
Ning Fan's plan was to bring all the traitors' primordial spirits to the tomb of Sha Di as a blood sacrifice.
Since he had won the battle, he kept all the Innate Magic Treasures. Then, his eyes swept across the surroundings indifferently. He realized that the other traitors in the surroundings had already been killed by the Immortal King of the Nether Sea and the others.
There were no longer any battles in the starry sky. There were only chaotic Dao laws that were intertwining with one another, telling the story of the rebellion that had happened in this place … Only Ning Fan could hear the sound of burial, telling the story of Sha Di's death …
Wherever Ning Fan's gaze landed, all the disciples of the Slaughter Palace were either filled with fanaticism or reverence, not daring to look at Ning Fan directly. Of course, there were also many people who had mixed feelings of joy and sorrow on their faces!
The fact that Ning Fan was a Young Emperor had already spread far and wide!
It was a tragedy for them to lose the seventh Sha Di.
It was a joy for them to obtain the eighth Young Emperor.
A generation had passed away and a new one had arrived. Their eighth Young Emperor was very famous and strong. By following him, they could try to fight for a future for the Slaughter Palace!
"Master, Little Eight has done a good deed. Look, these are the primordial spirits of the traitors that Little Eight captured alive. There are three of them!" It was Old Wu's smiling face that looked like he was presenting a treasure.
"I've captured four primordial spirits! Hehe! My credit is even greater! "It was Zhu Er who was competing with Old Wu to claim credit.
"Woof woof woof!" Crow Heavenly Dog also spat out two unconscious primordial spirits from his stomach and offered them to Ning Fan.
The other traitors were basically killed directly. These were the only ones who had their primordial spirits captured.
Old Wu, Zhu Er and Crow Heavenly Dog began to fight in front of Ning Fan because of a disagreement. It was a very funny scene but Ning Fan just could not bring himself to laugh.
He did not care about the three of them. He just sighed and kept the primordial spirits captured by his three servants. Then, he silently flew to the side of the Immortal King of the Nether Sea and said. "I want to go to the Northern Dipper Blood World and open it up …"
"Yes."
It was the Immortal King of the Nether Sea and all the surviving cultivators of the Slaughter Palace who answered respectfully.
So what if they won?
So what if they defended the Slaughter Palace?
Sha Di was still dead in the end.
When Ning Fan re-opened the Northern Dipper Blood World and entered the Inner Star Palace. When Ning Fan found the headless corpse of Sha Di, he had no choice but to accept the reality.
It was a mutilated corpse that did not fall even after death. Its head was cut off and its primordial spirit had died inside its body after exhausting its remaining strength. If it wasn't for the fact that Sha Di's remaining life force was too little, he certainly would not have died even if Xue Changkong and the other traitors ambushed him.
The surroundings were filled with the ancient puppets that had perished together with Sha Di. When Sha Di died, these puppets would also perish.
Sha Di did not have much time left in the first place … How sad it was for a hero to be assassinated by a traitor who was already past his prime.
It was precisely because Ning Fan was worried about Sha Di's remaining life force that he had not used up all of Sha Di's jade slips until today. He was afraid that he would consume Sha Di's remaining life force. In the future, he might not have the chance to use it anymore.
"Senior, I'm back …"
"You once gave me two thousand years to grow. But now, it seems like I don't have that much time to slowly take over the Slaughter Palace."
"However, there's one thing that I can't figure out. You once said that the day you die will be the day the enemies invade us. You should have been dead for a long time. If it wasn't because I insisted on opening the Northern Dipper Blood World to save you, I'm afraid that the news of your death would still be concealed … I don't understand why the Calamity Clan did not immediately invade us after your death. Instead, they allowed Xue Changkong and the other scoundrels to continue lurking in the Slaughter Palace and act in the dark … Why is that?"
"I know that there's actually a peerless divine sword in the Slaughter Palace. It's called the Northern Dipper Mortal Calamity, Sacred Desolate Heavenly Slaughter. Xue Changkong and the others seem to be doing something to this sword. Only when they achieve their goal will the Calamity Clan dare to invade us … "
"Or perhaps the two thousand years that Senior mentioned in the past is not just referring to my remaining lifespan but also some kind of deduction related to this sword?"
Ning Fan let out a long sigh when he thought of this.
There were too many questions in his mind. Unfortunately, there was no longer any Sha Di who could answer them for him.
The specific details of the invasion of the Calamity Clan and the existence of the Sacred Desolate Heavenly Slaughter Sword were unknown even to the great elders like the Nether Sea Immortal King.
Perhaps, Sha Di's original intention was to wait for Ning Fan to grow to a certain extent before telling him everything.
Unfortunately, there was no one who could answer Ning Fan's doubts.
"Young Lord, the Slaughter Palace cannot be without a leader for a single day. The seventh generation has passed away. It's time for you to take over the position of the eighth generation and take charge of the overall situation. In the past, you needed to hide behind others because you have yet to mature. Now, you are already invincible below the immortal emperor realm. I'm afraid you can even put up a fight against a Sixth Tribulation Immortal Emperor. There is nothing wrong with taking over the position of the eighth generation Sha Di. No one would dare to disobey you! " Behind him, the Nether Sea Immortal King knelt on the ground. As a dignified quasi-emperor, he would not kneel to anyone. Only the substitute Sha Di was worthy of such a grand gesture from him!
In his heart, he had already treated Ning Fan as the next Sha Di!
"Let's bury the seventh generation first …" Ning Fan sighed and helped Ming Hai up. The reason why an expert like Ming Hai knelt to him was because of his recognition and respect towards his identity as a young emperor. It was also out of his loyalty to the Slaughter Palace. Similarly, he would not let an existence like Ming Hai kneel to him casually out of respect.
In fact, Ning Fan did not have a strong sense of belonging to the Slaughter Palace. After all, he was different from Ming Hai who was an old man who was loyal to the Slaughter Palace.
His actions were just to fulfill a promise he had made in the past. That was all …
"What about after that?"
"After that, we will keep the news of the seventh generation's death a secret."
"Many people already know about this. I'm afraid we won't be able to keep it a secret …" Ming Hai said awkwardly.
"We just need to order our disciples to keep their mouths shut. It doesn't matter even if this matter spreads out in the end. I just don't want too many people to know that Sha Di was murdered by a traitor. His illustrious reputation will be ruined … I know what you're worried about. You should know about the hostility of the Calamity Clan towards the Slaughter Palace, right? "
"I know a little about it. However, I didn't know that the secret clan that was plotting against the Slaughter Palace was actually the Calamity Clan. This time, I've finally figured it out …" Ming Hai said with embarrassment.
"Even the Calamity Clan did not annihilate the Slaughter Palace immediately after the death of the seventh generation. It must be because they have some scruples. Which other immortal emperors would dare to do something that even the Calamity Clan doesn't dare to do? I'm guessing that the Calamity Clan is not the only force that is plotting against the Sacred Heavenly Sword in the Eastern Heaven and the four heavens. The Slaughter Palace is still here now. It will still exist for a long time in the future … They will only act when they think that the time is right … "
"The Sacred Heavenly Sword … Young Lord, are you referring to the ancient sword that was sealed in the blood prison? Is this sword really that powerful? It can even make the secret clan wary of it? I didn't know about this before! "Ming Hai was shocked.
"I'm just guessing. Everything is just a guess …"
"Young Lord, aren't you going to inherit the position of the Eighth Generation Sha Di immediately? You should know that there are great benefits for anyone who succeeds the position of Sha Di … "
"Oh? It's my first time hearing that there are benefits to succeeding the position of Sha Di. Can Great Elder tell me more about it? "
Ning Fan's original intention was to hide the news of Sha Di's death and then pretend to leave the Slaughter Palace.
Due to some kind of fear, even the powerful Calamity Clan would not dare to act against the Slaughter Palace for the time being. However, one day, those people would definitely make their move.
In order to have enough strength to protect the Slaughter Palace before that day arrives, Ning Fan could not possibly stay and guard the Slaughter Palace. He must leave this place. He must seek for opportunities to continuously improve his cultivation base and obtain a powerful cultivation base that would allow him to fight against the secret clan!
In order to fulfill the promise he made in the past, Ning Fan was willing to bear the responsibility of protecting the Slaughter Palace. As for the empty title of Sha Di, he was very indifferent to it.
If he was still very weak, perhaps he would value the position of Sha Di. After all, as Sha Di, he could mobilize all the forces of the Slaughter Palace to protect him.
However, does the current him really need the subordinates of the Slaughter Palace to protect him? There's no need. There's no need for that anymore.
Moreover, in Ning Fan's eyes, there was no difference between the title of the Eighth Generation Killing Emperor and the title of the Eighth Generation Young Emperor of the Slaughter Palace. Neither of them could scare a true expert.
If the difference was not big, what was the point of succession? In any case, whether he succeeded or not, he would protect the Slaughter Hall and fulfill his promise.
However, if there are other benefits to inheriting the position of Sha Di, then Ning Fan would have to think carefully about whether or not he should inherit the position.
As for the specifics, it would depend on whether the benefits of succeeding as the Slayer could move him. Otherwise, he would not bother to do so.
Ming Hai took out an ancient jade slip and handed it to Ning Fan respectfully.
This Jade Scroll had been passed down from generation to generation by the Great Elders. Forty-seven generations of Great Elders had passed down to Ming Hai. The lifespan of the Great Elders was far less than that of the Sha Di. Naturally, there were many more generations.
Ning Fan's spirit sense went into the jade slip. At first, he was calm, but soon, he was surprised.
"Inheriting the title of Sha Di is actually beneficial to the improvement of my strength. In that case … I can directly inherit the title of the Eighth Sha Di. What's the harm?!"
The look in Ning Fan's eyes gradually turned resolute.
The past cannot be remonstrated and the future can still be pursued!
It was meaningless to keep lamenting the tragedy of the Seventh Generation. It was time for him to fulfill his promise and repay the Seventh Generation!
"If that's the case, I will now give the order to arrange Young Lord's Emperor Conferring Ceremony. From today onwards, the millions of cultivators of the Slaughter Hall and the Northern Dipper Blood World will be loyal to Young Lord. We will take the responsibility of protecting the Blood World and the Slaughter Hall. I am willing to make a Dao Oath to show my loyalty! As long as Young Lord does not betray the Slaughter Hall in this life, I, Ming Hai, am willing to go through fire and water for Young Lord for generations! "
"Go through fire and water for generations for me? Hehe. There's no need for that. You just need to wholeheartedly protect the Slaughter Hall and never change your mind. That will be enough. "Ning Fan smiled.
Ming Hai bowed deeply and lowered his head. His eyes were filled with reminiscence.
He remembered the Dao Oath that he made in that year and that month which was almost the same as today.
That year, he was still young. He was just a young mortal who wholeheartedly sought to become an immortal. On a certain cultivation planet, he met the Seventh Sha Di by chance.
"Daoist Priest! Please accept me as your disciple! I also want to cultivate the Dao! I want to be an immortal who can live for a hundred years! "
"I'm not a Daoist Priest … What I seek is not the Dao … Besides, I don't accept disciples …" The Seventh Sha Di replied in a somewhat speechless manner.
"Daoist Priest, you're really heartless. How about this? As long as you accept me as your disciple and bring me to seek immortality, I, your little disciple, Hai Ming, am willing to go through fire and water for you for ten generations! How about this? "
"Go through fire and water? Hehe. Interesting … However, I don't need you to go through fire and water for me. Of course, if you can really fulfill your promise, it's not impossible for me to give you an immortal fate. However, I still won't accept you as my disciple.

Step by step, he reached the second step of the Life Immortal Realm. He swept through his peers and joined the Slaughter Hall as an outsider. Step by step, he became an elder of the Slaughter Hall. Step by step, he became the grand elder of the Slaughter Hall. Step by step, he gained the resounding reputation of the White-Haired Immortal King.
My disciple, Hai Ming, is willing to go through fire and water for you for generations to come!
