The news of the Third Waterway being pacified quickly spread throughout the entire Eastern Jie River.
As far as the Eastern Sky cultivators were concerned, this news naturally greatly boosted their morale.
As for the Outsiders, this was bad news.
At this moment, within the Vermilion Bird Pass of the Ninth Waterway, a group of Immortal Emperors of the Outsiders had gathered together. All of them had solemn expressions on their faces as they discussed this matter.
Many of the Immortal Emperors of the foreign races were shocked by Ning Fan's strength. The Third Water Path that the other cultivators of the Eastern Heaven could not reclaim even after several tens of years was already done by Ning Fan just after he arrived here.
The White-Robed King of Hell, humph! What a powerful White-Robed King of Hell! He had killed eight Immortal Emperors and chased away a half-step Quasi-Sage. Now that the Boundary River Quasi-Sage had not appeared, who could stop him?
"This is troublesome! The White Robed King of Hell is unstoppable. After taking over the Third Route, his next target is likely to be our Ninth Route. If that's the case, how will the plan work? "
"Difficult, difficult, difficult! With the Immortal Emperor's seal, the Quasi-Sage seniors of the ninth path can't come out of the water to help us guard the pass. Currently, in the Vermilion Bird Pass, there was only Fellow Daoist Wan Sheng, a half-step Quasi-Sage, and thirteen Immortal Emperors. The overall strength of the Vermilion Bird Pass wasn't much stronger than the White Tiger Pass. What's more troublesome is that Fellow Daoist Wan Sheng is currently in seclusion and has yet to come out … If that White-Robed King of Hell comes, we won't be a match for him! "
"Fellow Daoist Wan Sheng is actually still in seclusion! The fire is already burning his eyebrows, yet he can still sit still! "
"The remnants of Zi Dou's clan have clearly been annihilated, so why is it still able to give birth to such a heaven defying expert of the younger generation? He's simply not inferior to an ancient Immortal King! The heavens are blind! Why wasn't this child born in my Purple Myrtle lineage! The heavens are unfair! "
"Humph! What's the point of saying all this nonsense now? We should quickly think of a countermeasure. If the White Robed King of Hell comes here, we definitely won't be a match for him. Since Fellow Daoist Wan Sheng is not here, I will step out of my place and help Fellow Daoist Wan Sheng make a decision. In my opinion, we should ask the Great Divine Priest for help and have the sixth path send a half-step Saint to help us guard the pass. We'll definitely be able to suppress him if we have two Half-Saints with us! "
"Ai, the current situation is unfavorable. How can the sixth route send reinforcements? Although we have a lot of troops there, there are only three Half-Step Quasi-Sages guarding that place. I heard that the sixth path suffered a defeat a few days ago, and one of its three Half-Saints was heavily injured by the Clear Sky White Jade Building. The army had no choice but to temporarily retreat to the Black Tortoise Pass and defend the pass with their lives … The White Robed King of Hell must not be underestimated, but the Clear Sky White Jade Building was not an ordinary person either. Even if we ask for reinforcements, I'm afraid that the sixth route won't be able to send a Half-Saint to support us … "
"Damn it! How hateful! If it weren't for the restriction of the Boundary River's seal, we wouldn't have to worry about the lack of support from Half-Saints and Quasi Saints. We wouldn't have to fear a mere White-Robed King of Hell! "
"Whatever! If that White-robed King of Hell really dares to come to the ninth path, this old man will be the first to fight him! No matter what, we can't tarnish the reputation of Ziwei! "
The group of Immortal Sovereigns of the foreign races kept cursing and swearing. Their words were filled with endless fear towards Ning Fan.
Sitting below the foreign race emperors were three Eastern Heaven Immortal Emperors — Madam Gui Hua, Dong Ling Immortal Weng, and Emperor Mo He.
These three Immortal Emperors had betrayed the alliance and joined the foreign races. Now, they were under the orders of the Great Divine Priest of the foreign races to assist in the defense of the Vermillion Bird Pass.
In name, they were supposed to assist in the defense but in reality, they were just slaves of the foreign races. In such a meeting, the three of them could only listen. They had no right to interrupt.
At this moment, the expressions of the three emperors were ugly. Their expressions were filled with unconcealable fear.
What they feared was that Ning Fan might come to attack the ninth path. If Ning Fan really comes to the ninth path, wouldn't they, the traitors of the Eastern Heaven, be in danger? Perhaps they would end up like Emperor Primordial Pill, bearing the brunt of the attack and being killed by Ning Fan!
"Fellow Daoist Mo He, what should we do now? I heard that Ning Fan can kill eight Immortal Sovereigns with just a raise of his hand and chase away a Half-Saint in a hundred breaths. He is no longer the weak ant he was in the past. Killing us is as easy as flipping his palm. If he comes to the ninth path, he certainly won't let us go. Are we going to stay in the Vermillion Bird Pass with these foreign races and wait for our deaths? "Dong Ling Immortal Weng secretly transmitted his voice to Emperor Mo He and Madam Gui Hua.
Dong Ling Immortal Weng was a Seven Tribulation Immortal Emperor while Maha was just a Six Tribulation Immortal Emperor. However, when Dong Ling spoke to Emperor Mo He, his tone carried a hint of respect, as if he was trying to please Maha.
"Sigh … After we betrayed the foreign races, the Great Divine Priest planted a Death Seal on us. If we escape from the Vermillion Bird Pass, the Death Seal will definitely take effect … The Death Seal … Death Seal … Traitors must die. We can only go all the way and defend the Vermillion Bird Pass with these foreign races! "Emperor Mo He said perfunctorily.
"Fellow Daoist Maha, please don't use such perfunctory words to brush us off. According to what we know, you are the same as Fellow Daoist Primordial Pill. Both of you are in contact with the Dark Race and the Devil Conferral Summit. A mere Death Seal shouldn't be a problem for Fellow Daoist. If it wasn't for Fellow Daoist tempting me to betray the foreign races, I wouldn't dare to do such a thing no matter how courageous I am. Now that a great calamity is upon us, Fellow Daoist, you have to be responsible for me! "Madam Gui Hua looked at Emperor Mo He with a charming smile.
"Hehe. The Death Seal really isn't a problem for me. Fine. Seeing that you've served me well, I'll help you. If that Ning brat really attacks the ninth path, I'll bring the two of you to Northern Heaven! " Maha stared at Madam Gui Hua's delicate body. His smile became a little frivolous as if he had thought of something.
Dong Ling Immortal Weng and Madam Gui Hua were stunned. Then, they asked with deep meaning. "Northern Heaven? Could it be … that the main forces of the Dark Race and the Devil Conferral Summit are in Northern Heaven? "
"Hehe. The heavenly secrets must not be revealed."
"Alright! If Fellow Daoist can break the Death Seal, I'll follow you to Northern Heaven after that brat attacks the ninth path. In the future, I'll follow Fellow Daoist's lead and I won't regret it! "
"Haha! Very good! Very good! Shh. Be quiet. That Myriad Saint Dragon King seems to be coming out of seclusion. Hehe. What a huge commotion! As expected of a Half-Step Sage! "
Maha and the others who were plotting something suddenly stopped smiling. Their conversation was disrupted by a deafening dragon roar.
As soon as they heard the dragon roar, all the experts of the foreign races were overjoyed. They knew that Myriad Saint Dragon King who had been in seclusion for a long time had finally come out!
"Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Myriad Saint! Judging from your aura, it seems like you've gained a lot from your seclusion! "
"Hahaha! I've indeed gained a lot. During this seclusion, I've cultivated the Ten Heads Technique of Saint Rubble to the eighth level! "Myriad Saint Dragon King laughed heartily. He seemed to be in a good mood.
As soon as Myriad Saint Dragon King said that, all the immortal emperors of the foreign races were shocked.
"You've actually cultivated it to the eighth level! In that case, doesn't it mean that no one below the Second Level Quasi-Sage Realm can kill you?! "
"Even if Fellow Daoist hasn't truly broken through to the Quasi-Sage Realm, you're invincible against anyone below the Quasi-Sage Realm with just your eight heads technique!"
"With Fellow Daoist here, that White-Robed Yama is nothing!"
"Fellow Daoist Myriad Saint, please take down that White-Robed Yama. Let that brat know the power of my Zi Wei Immortal Cultivation!"
Dragon King Wan Sheng's brows twitched. He was puzzled.
Who was the White-Robed King of Hell?
He had never heard of this name before.
He went into seclusion before Ning Fan became famous. Naturally, he did not know that the so-called White-Robed Yama was referring to Ning Fan.
Seeing that Dragon King Wan Sheng did not know who Ning Fan was, one of the experts of the foreign races immediately explained Ning Fan's ferocious reputation and battle achievements to him.
As soon as Dragon King Wan Sheng heard that Ning Fan was able to kill Immortal Emperors as if he was slaughtering dogs despite having a cultivation base at the Immortal King Realm, he could not help but suck in a breath of cold air.
However, Myriad Saint Dragon King was also a prideful person. Besides, he had cultivated the eighth head of the Ten Heads Technique. Thus, he was not afraid of Ning Fan.
He was confident that he was invincible below the Quasi-Sage Realm. Even a Second Step Quasi-Sage would find it hard to kill him.
A mere Ning Fan was not worth mentioning! What bullsh * t White-Robed Yama King? It's fine if this kid doesn't come to the ninth path, but if he dares to, then I'll turn him into the Dead Yama King!
On the other side, the morale of the Variant Humans was greatly boosted by the appearance of Dragon King Wan Sheng.
Right at this moment, a pitch-black demonic cavity suddenly appeared in the sky above Vermillion Bird Pass without any warning.
"Demonic cavity? An ancient devil at the Peak Devil Conferral Realm? Is he an enemy or a friend?! "All the immortal emperors of the foreign races including Dragon King Wan Sheng were shocked as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
Only some ancient devils that had inherited their lineage from the ancient times knew how to use the demonic cavity. Now that a demonic cavity had appeared, a powerful devil would certainly descend. They must be careful!
Heavenly Emperor Mo He, however, seemed to know who the newcomer was. As soon as he saw the demonic cavity, he was overjoyed. He said to Myriad Saint Dragon King, "Everyone, don't worry! This person is not an enemy. He is the reinforcement that I have invited from the Northern Heaven! "
"Oh? Reinforcement?! "All the experts of the foreign races were overjoyed when they heard that the newcomer was their reinforcement.
They could only blame Ning Fan for being too famous. Even if Myriad Saint Dragon King had comprehended the Eight Heads Technique, their hearts were still beating rapidly. They did not have full confidence that they could defeat Ning Fan.
However, if they have an ancient devil who had comprehended the demonic cavity as their reinforcement, the situation would undoubtedly become more advantageous.
If they did not sense wrongly, the newcomer seemed to be a Half-Saint ancient devil.
In that case, the Vermillion Bird Pass would have two Half-Saints guarding it. No matter how strong Ning Fan was, could he defeat two Half-Saints at the same time?
The Vermillion Bird Pass was safe!
"I am Xuan Wei. My elder brother is Daoist Bai Zu." A burly ancient devil walked out of the demonic cavity and arrived at the Vermillion Bird Pass. He then said to the experts of the Vermillion Bird Pass proudly.
"What?! The famous Daoist Xuan Wei?! The junior brother of Daoist Bai Zu, a Half-Saint?! He was a powerful Devil Sealing Puppet in ancient times! He had once killed a true Half-Saint Realm expert! "
As soon as they heard the devil's name, all the experts of the foreign races were shocked. Even the prideful Myriad Saint Dragon King was a little reserved in front of this devil.
They could only blame the fact that the newcomer's reputation was too great! He was an old devil who was famous in ancient times! He was not someone that a cultivator in the Cultivation Decline like him could compare to!
Myriad Saint Dragon King secretly calculated in his mind. Even though he had mastered the Eight Heads Technique, his chances of winning against Fellow Daoist Xuan Wei's Green Wave Fire Poison was still less than 30% …
This person is very strong!
But this is also good!
With this person here, I don't have to worry about that White-Robed Yama anymore.
Oh right, what's that White-Robed Yama's name again? N-Ning … Erm, I forgot. The Eight Heads Technique really does damage a cultivator's memory.
But forget it.
I don't care what that White-Robed Yama's name is. He's not worthy of my attention. This young man will never be able to shake the Vermillion Bird Pass!
…
Ning Fan did not know that his people had already caused a wave of panic among the foreign races on the ninth path even before they arrived at the ninth path.
He also did not know why the Devil Conferral Summit even sent an ancient devil half-step saint to assist the defense of the ninth path in order to deal with him, the White-Robed Yama who had risen to fame.
After settling the matter regarding Emperor Lai Jun. Ning Fan bid farewell to Luo Hou and the others and left the third path.
After much consideration, Ning Fan handed Emperor Lai Jun. The primordial spirit of Emperor Lai Jun. He was not a babysitter. He did not have time to take care of such a cowardly immortal emperor.
Luo Hou and the others would take care of the follow-up matters regarding the third path. He did not need to worry about it and he was also too lazy to interfere.
As soon as he finished dealing with the matters in the third path, he quickly left the third path and rushed to the ninth path.
The waterways that he had yet to recover were only the sixth waterway that connected to the northern heaven and the ninth waterway that connected to the southern heaven.
Among them, the sixth waterway had more immortal emperors while the ninth waterway had fewer immortal emperors. Adhering to the principle of doing things easy first and difficult later, Ning Fan decided to set recovering the ninth waterway as his next goal.
The ninth waterway was the second last pass, the Myriad Saints Pass.
The reason why this pass was called the Myriad Saints Pass was to commemorate a heroic deed. Countless years ago, when an Eastern Heaven Immortal Emperor was guarding this pass, he was attacked by Dragon King Myriad Saint.
Dragon King Myriad Saint was a famous old monster of the ninth waterway. He was very strong and that Eastern Heaven Immortal Emperor was no match for him.
However, that Eastern Heaven Immortal Emperor still decided to defend the pass with his life. In the end, he sacrificed himself to protect the other cultivators who were guarding the pass.
Even though the famous Dragon King Myriad Saint killed that Eastern Heaven Immortal Emperor, one of his dragon horns was cut off by that immortal emperor. The wound was filled with resentment and the broken horn could not be regrown until now.
It was said that the reason why the formation of the Myriad Saints Pass was so powerful was because it had integrated the power of Myriad Saint's broken horn.
Currently, the Divine Void Emperor and the other Eastern Heaven Immortal Emperors were guarding the Myriad Saints Pass.
When Ning Fan arrived at the Myriad Saints Pass, he was surprised to find that the Divine Void Emperor and the Divine Void Emperor who had always been polite to him on the surface actually came out of their pass with great enthusiasm just to welcome him!
The Divine Void Emperor and the Divine Void Emperor even took out countless rare and precious spiritual fruits and spiritual wine and held a grand banquet just to welcome Ning Fan.
In the cultivation world, strength was the only thing that mattered.
When Ning Fan was just a puny Life Immortal Realm cultivator and a True Immortal Realm cultivator, the Divine Void Emperor and the Divine Void Emperor did not put him in their eyes at all. They even humiliated themselves by bullying the weak and made things difficult for Ning Fan.
Later on, with the protection of Great Emperor Ancient Chaos, the Divine Void Emperor and the Divine Void Emperor became much more polite to Ning Fan. However, the source of their politeness was only because they respected the Ancient Chaos.
Later on, because Ning Fan was on good terms with Xiang Bozi, he obtained the full support of the Godly Void Pavilion. As the pillar of the Godly Void Pavilion and the disciple of Xiang Bozi, the Divine Void Emperor and the Divine Void Emperor became even more polite to Ning Fan. However, that kind of politeness still did not come from the bottom of their hearts.
It was only until Ning Fan became the Sha Emperor and performed the magnificent feat of killing an immortal emperor during the Emperor Conferring Ceremony that the Divine Void Emperor and the Divine Void Emperor genuinely regarded him as their peer for the first time.
After that …
Ning Fan went to the dark races alone and retreated unscathed.
Ning Fan took part in the meeting of the Realm River and sent his troops to eleven different routes. He killed the immortal emperors of the foreign races time and time again.
Recently, Ning Fan actually defeated a half-step Saint and killed eight immortal emperors all by himself …
The Divine Void Emperor and the Divine Void Emperor were unwilling to admit it, but they had no choice but to admit that the current Ning Fan's strength had far exceeded theirs. They could only look up to him in admiration.
Today, even if the two emperors came out together to welcome Ning Fan alone, they no longer felt humiliated. Instead, they felt that this was how it should be.
Ning Fan had the strength to make them treat him with respect!
During the banquet, everyone toasted each other.
Ning Fan was not a narrow-minded person. Since the Divine Void Emperor and the Divine Void Emperor took the initiative to express their goodwill to him, he would not let them lose face.
No matter what kind of grudges they had with each other in the past, they only had one identity at the moment. They were brothers who guarded the Realm River together. They were comrades.
In the face of righteousness, small grudges were not worth mentioning. Of course, with what happened in the past, it was impossible for Ning Fan to sincerely befriend the Divine Void Emperor and the Divine Void Emperor.
Compared to feigning civility with the Divine Void Emperor and the Divine Void Emperor, he preferred to drink and chat merrily with Lv Feng and Yun Lei.
Lv Feng and Yun Lei were both guest elders of the Divine Void Pavilion. Naturally, they would accompany the Divine Void Emperor and guard the ninth path.
With the two of them drinking with Ning Fan, Ning Fan did not feel that the banquet was boring at all. Lv Feng and Yun Lei were his friends when he was still insignificant. Their sincerity towards each other was incomparable to the others.
Of course, compared to drinking, Ning Fan was more concerned about the situation of the ninth path.
At the bottom of the third path, he met the Blood God of the foreign races … That cuttlefish which was as large as the starry sky weighed heavily on his heart. It was also because he had witnessed how terrifying that cuttlefish was that Ning Fan did not dare to underestimate the foreign races. He did not think that he was already invincible in the world.
In order to reclaim the Ninth Path, he still needed to gather some information first.
When Ning Fan asked about the situation of the ninth path, the experts of the Eastern Heaven at the scene naturally told him everything they knew. Great Emperor Shen Kong whose cultivation base had fallen to the Seventh Tribulation Realm seemed to be trying to please Ning Fan. While toasting Ning Fan, he took the initiative to introduce the situation of the ninth path to him.
This made many experts at the scene secretly despise Great Emperor Shen Kong's shamelessness. The things that Ning Fan had done before he became famous had already spread across the Eastern Heaven. Everyone knew that Great Emperor Shen Kong had bullied Ning Fan in the past. Now, he actually had the nerve to lower himself to please Ning Fan. Doesn't he feel ashamed?!
Hehe.
As the saying goes, the river flows east for thirty years and west for thirty years. Don't bully a young man because he is poor.
"Since Younger Brother Ning has asked about it, I will tell you about the situation of the ninth path. In the Vermillion Bird Pass, the main pass of the ninth path, the foreign races have stationed ten million troops. Among them, there are nine Immortal Emperors, one Half-Saint and three traitors of the Eastern Heaven. Younger Brother Ning, you must know about the three traitors. They are Mo He, Gui Hua and Dong Ling. Among the nine Immortal Emperors of the foreign races, five of them are at the Sixth Tribulation, two at the Seventh Tribulation and two at the Eighth Tribulation. The only Half-Saint of the foreign races is actually related to this Myriad Saints Pass. He is none other than the Myriad Saint Dragon King mentioned in the story. This person's abilities are very strong. Ordinary Half-Saints can't compare to him, especially his Seven Heads Technique which is evil and terrifying. Legend has it that once he transforms into seven heads, even a First Level Quasi-Saint would not have the confidence to destroy all of his heads. Besides, his heads seem to have a curse effect which can cause damage to the enemies who attack his heads … Whether that Seven Heads Technique is really that evil or not, I'm not sure. Because we have been fighting in the ninth path for tens of years but no one has ever seen the Myriad Saint Dragon King transform into seven heads … "
Everyone felt even more disdainful towards Great Emperor Shen Kong. They thought to themselves that Great Emperor Shen Kong was really thick-skinned. He kept calling Ning Fan 'Younger Brother Ning'. Was he not afraid that calling Ning Fan this way would shorten his lifespan?
However, Ning Fan was not concerned about these minor details. He was more concerned about the Myriad Saint Dragon King and the Seven Heads Technique that Great Emperor Shen Kong mentioned.
From the looks of it, this Myriad Saint Dragon King seems to be harder to deal with than that Wan Xingzi …
"By the way, I have been guarding the ninth path for tens of years. I once found an ancient cultivator's dwelling by chance. It seems to be left behind by the Eastern Heaven Ancient Emperor in the past. Fellow Daoist, are you interested …?"
Seeing that Ning Fan was unmoved by his flattery, Great Emperor Shen Kong suddenly changed the topic and asked with a smile.
