Ning Fan left these troubles to Jing Zhuo while he entered the seclusion with Yin Suqiu.
"You're overestimating yourself … Do you think you're a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator?" Ning Fan shook his head. Yin Suqiu immediately refuted.
"What about you? Why did you get yourself into so much trouble … The Heavenly Frost Cold Qi and the Cold Pine Marrow. You can't keep this item. I heard that the revered elder of the Rain Palace has taken a liking to it. It's a hot potato …"
Yin Suqiu knew that Ning Fan was a Dual Spirit Cultivator who possessed both fire and ice spirits. She had also witnessed the might of his Black Demon Flame's Dragon Vortex Fire. However, that was in Yue Country. In Yue Country, Ning Fan was invincible. It was fine for him to expose the Black Demon Flame and fight for the Heavenly Cold Earth Fire. However, in Great Jin, under the watchful eyes of Nascent Soul Realm experts and even Divine Transformation Realm experts, he actually got involved in the trouble of the Cold Pine Marrow …
Although Ning Fan's aura was majestic when he killed the demons, Yin Suqiu knew that he was just a Half-Step Gold Core Realm cultivator. Moreover, the reason why he went to the Endless Sea was to form his core.
It was already difficult for him to disguise as a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. It was even more troublesome for him to offend Divine Envoy Yun Kuang. Now, there was even a possibility of conflict with a Divine Transformation Realm expert from the Rain Palace … It was very dangerous. Yin Suqiu would be worried …
"Don't worry about it. If it was in the past, I would indeed be worried about Revered Snow. However, the injuries he revealed through his spirit sense and voice transmission just now made me think of a possibility … That person's injuries might be extremely troublesome for him, but for me … I'll treat him … I'm confident that by treating his injuries, he won't be competing for the Cold Pine Marrow. In fact, I might even be able to protect my trip to the Great Jin without any worries."
"What? You've just arrived at Ju Shan Pass, and you haven't even seen that revered elder, yet you've already seen through his injuries? " Yin Suqiu covered her mouth with her hand. She was greatly astonished. Even if Ning Fan's pill refinement realm was at the Fourth Revolution, he should not be able to diagnose someone's illness with his spirit sense and voice transmission …
"Yes. I wouldn't be able to tell if it's any other injury. However, I'm very familiar with this injury … Alright, let's not talk about it anymore. Revered Snow has summoned all the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators. I have to go as well. You should rest in the mountain pass first. You can go after you've recovered …"
Ning Fan knew that it was impossible for Yin Suqiu to recuperate and avoid the battle. Once this woman recovers her magic power, she will immediately go and defend the city … What a stubborn woman.
Before the end of the long street, Ning Fan nodded his head and teleported to the 'Heaven Ruler Waterfall' that was a thousand li away from the pass. Then, he entered the misty palace above the ten thousand zhang tall waterfall.
There were cultivators of the Rain Palace guarding outside the palace. All of them were at least at the Gold Core Realm. These cultivators were used to being arrogant and overbearing.
"Who are you!?" The white-robed Golden Core leader shouted.
"Commander Jin, Zhou Ming!" Ning Fan said indifferently.
"What?! It's Jin Xiu's new seventh commander, Ancestor Zhou Ming! "
Currently, there was no news of victory from Ju Shan Pass. Even with the Spirit Sense of these Gold Core Realm cultivators, they were unable to detect the situation of the battle at the pass.
These Gold Core Realm cultivators didn't know how powerful Ning Fan was. However, when they heard the two words' Zhou Ming ', all of them froze like statues. At the next moment, they retracted all their arrogance and became extremely respectful.
"Junior greets Forefather Zhou Ming! The Revered Elder is gathering all the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators in the palace hall. Old Ancestor, you can go there by yourself. If anyone asks, just show your merit jade and no one will dare to stop you … "
"Yes."
Ning Fan uttered indifferently and stepped into the cloud palace.
The merit jade of an ordinary Gold Core Realm cultivator was green. However, Ning Fan's merit jade was black. Black represented respect and the identity of the Great Jin's commander.
When he held the black jade in his hand, no one dared to stop him anymore. There were even cultivators of the Rain Palace who led the way for Ning Fan on their own accord. Their expressions were extremely respectful.
After passing through the corridors of the palace, Ning Fan arrived at the inner palace. The inner palace was heavily guarded. A white-haired young man was standing on the jade stairs. However, his complexion looked a little unwell.
Below the stairs, there were nineteen Nascent Soul Realm cultivators of the Rain Palace and thirteen Nascent Soul Realm cultivators of the Great Jin.
Among the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators of the Great Jin, the king was not here. The cultivators of the Great Jin were forcefully taken over by the Rain Palace. However, no matter how powerful the Rain Palace was, it couldn't allow anyone to be the king. The law of the Rain World clearly stated that the king was exempted from serving …
The king was not here. Other than Jie Xiu, Ning Fan didn't know any of the cultivators of the Great Jin. However, Ning Fan saw a few familiar faces among the cultivators of the Rain Palace.
They were the green-robed Old Scholar, Song Yi, the beautiful lady in the blue dress and Liu Yunxu. Ning Fan had fought against these two Nascent Soul Realm cultivators in Wei Country.
Of course, Ning Fan knew them. Apart from that, Ning Fan also saw an ugly man among the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators of the Rain Palace. That ugly man's name was Yun Lie. When Ning Fan first entered the Dark Sparrow Valley, he provoked a Gold Core Realm cultivator with a single sentence. However, the result was that Yun Lie easily crushed the Gold Core Realm cultivator's ship with a single claw. Ning Fan couldn't see through this person's cultivation base. However, his aura was even more profound than King Jin's … Peak Nascent Soul Realm cultivator!
However, what Ning Fan found most inconceivable was a barefooted lady. His expression immediately turned strange.
That lady stood alone and didn't join the crowd. It was as if she didn't fit in with her surroundings. Her black hair was like a waterfall. She wore pine branches as a hairpin and willow leaves as a pendant. Her eyes were as bright as the moon and stars. There was an indescribable bewitching beauty to her. Her waist was slender and her clothes were plain green. She wore a bracelet with a silver bell on her wrist. The most unique thing about her was that she was barefooted. Her feet were like jade and there were silver chains around her ankles. However, her delicate feet were untainted by dust under the effect of her magical power.
Lan Ruo Temple's Mid Nascent Soul Realm old demon … Yun Ruowei! That day, the old monster brought him to the Lan Ruo Temple to plunder many countries. He even used shameless means to coerce this lady …
When the lady saw Ning Fan looking at her, a trace of indignation flashed across her beautiful eyes. However, she immediately concealed it without leaving a trace.
Seeing this, Ning Fan knew that this lady still hated him. Most likely, the relationship between the two of them couldn't be resolved.
However, what concerned Ning Fan was that this lady was actually a divine messenger of the Rain Palace. Divine messengers of the Rain Palace must cultivate the cultivation method of the righteous Dao. They wouldn't even accept the Evil Dao, let alone the Demon Dao. He didn't know if this lady was a demon or if she had coincidentally opened her Demon Vein and cultivated a demonic technique. Either way, she was considered to have entered the Demon Dao and couldn't become a divine messenger of the Rain Palace … However, she was able to join the Rain Palace and participate in this demon extermination battle with a sensitive identity. It seemed like she had an extraordinary background.
The moment Ning Fan entered the hall, everyone immediately stopped their discussions.
Jie Xiu was here. He heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Ning Fan enter. He revealed a smile and introduced Ning Fan to the crowd.
"Everyone, please take a look. This is the new Seventh Commander appointed by King Jin, Zhou Ming! I'm sure everyone has seen his battle record with their spirit sense. You should know how powerful he is and that he's qualified to be the Seventh Commander. In my opinion, there's no need for Divine Messenger Yun Kuang to take over the position of the Seventh Commander … "
Jie Xiu's words made the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators of Jin nod in agreement while the cultivators of the Rain Palace remained silent. Yun Kuang's eyes darkened as he stared at Ning Fan coldly.
"Seventh Commander? He's not worthy! "
"Oh? It seems like all of you are discussing about my matter. However, I've just arrived here and I don't know what you're discussing about. Please enlighten me, Fellow Daoist Jie … "Ning Fan avoided Yun Kuang's gaze as he did not want to offend him at this moment. It was not a good feeling but he could only endure it for the time being.
Jie Xiu wanted to clear up Ning Fan's doubts. Unexpectedly, Revered Snow who always kept a straight face spoke first.
"I've gathered all the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators to discuss about your position as the Seventh Commander. I've recorded the details of the discussion in a jade slip. You can take a look at it …"
Revered Snow nodded. Immediately, a divine messenger of the Rain Palace passed a jade slip to Ning Fan.
As for Revered Snow, he did something that no one could imagine … This white-haired old man actually smiled faintly at Ning Fan.
"Take your time. There's no hurry …"
That smile was not the slightest bit fake. It was a smile of goodwill, a smile of friendship.
At this moment, be it the cultivators of Jin or the Rain Palace, all of them were shocked. Even Ning Fan himself revealed a surprised expression.
What?! Revered Snow who was known as the 'Unmeltable Ice' might not even smile at a revered elder at the same level as him. However, he actually smiled at Zhou Ming!
Strange! How strange! According to the rumors, didn't Zhou Ming obtain the Cold Pine Marrow that Revered Snow wanted? It was already rare for Revered Snow to not glare at him. Why did he smile? Why did he smile?!
Because of the discussion, the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators of the Rain Palace were not friendly towards Ning Fan. Yun Kuang, on the other hand, already had a grudge against Ning Fan.
In the eyes of the crowd, it was already strange for Revered Snow to not glare at Ning Fan and forcefully snatch the Cold Pine Marrow from Ning Fan given his unmeltable ice personality. There was no reason for him to smile at Ning Fan …
Could it be that Revered Snow's personality changed drastically after getting injured? That's impossible.
Or could it be that Revered Snow was not smiling at Ning Fan but the Cold Pine Marrow that came to him? Hmm, that's possible …
Yun Kuang also had the same thought.
After guessing that Revered Snow did not have any good intentions towards Ning Fan, he no longer concealed his hostility towards Ning Fan. This hostility was even stronger than the time when he was fighting for Yin Suqiu's affections at the Lock World!
Ning Fan did not care about the gazes of the crowd. He even automatically ignored Yun Kuang. However, Revered Snow's smile was the only one he could not see through. He did not know whether it was good or hostile …
When he scanned the images in the jade slip with his spirit sense, the discussions of the crowd in the past few days immediately replayed in his mind.
"I see …" Ning Fan muttered to himself.
No wonder the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators of the Rain Palace were hostile towards him. No wonder Yun Kuang's hostility towards him grew deeper. So, everything was because of the 'Seventh Commander'.
The Seventh Commander, Xun Ri, had died in the demon tide … His forces had suddenly become ownerless. The Rain Palace wanted Yun Kuang to take over Xun Ri's forces. However, the king of Jin was unwilling to let the forces of Jin fall into the hands of the Rain Palace. Thus, he painstakingly searched for cultivators from other countries to replace Xun Ri …
The Rain Palace taking over Jin Country was only temporary. However, if Yun Kuang becomes the Seventh Commander, the influence of the Rain Palace's branch in Jin Country would become deeper.
This was a battle between the Rain Palace and Jin Country. However, I actually got involved in it …
From Yun Kuang's point of view, Yin Suqiu, whom he loved, was snatched away by Ning Fan. Now, the Seventh Commander of Jin Country that he yearned for was also snatched away by Ning Fan.
"Seventh Commander, you are not worthy! I, Yun Kuang, am the suitable person! "
Yun Kuang's cold words interrupted Ning Fan's thoughts, causing his eyes to darken.
Isn't this Yun Kuang a little too arrogant? The more I tolerate him, the more Yun Kuang will not let the matter go. Ning Fan did not want to be the Seventh Commander, but he could no longer tolerate Yun Kuang. His Dao had always been unyielding. It was enough for him to tolerate Yun Kuang a few times.
"King Jin will decide whether I am worthy of this position or not. It doesn't seem like you, Yun Kuang, can make the decision for the Rain Palace!"
"Humph! If you dare to receive a sword strike from me, I will grant you the position of the Seventh Commander regardless of whether you receive it or not! However … do you dare?! "
Yun Kuang sneered. With a flick of his sleeve, a black-coloured hidden sword appeared in his hand.
The hidden sword was a weapon used for assassination. Its ability was also strange. It was different from ordinary flying swords.
"Night Sword" Yun Kuang. Even a mid-stage Nascent Soul Realm cultivator wouldn't want to take a blow from him.
Do you dare?!
Do you dare?!
Do you dare?!!!
These three words reverberated in the inner hall of the Cloud Palace. This echoing technique shocked the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators. Only a Late Nascent Soul Realm cultivator could make his voice reverberate in the air!
This Yun Kuang was able to do it when he was only a Mid Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. Extraordinary!
However, the reverberating voice turned into a cold light in Ning Fan's eyes.
The lightning star on his glabella flashed. His voice was like heavenly thunder, shattering all of Yun Kuang's voice!
"Why wouldn't I dare?!"
Yu Xiu and the others did not stop the battle. They were happy to see Ning Fan's defeat.
Other than Jie Xiu who was a little nervous, no one stopped the battle. They wanted to see Ning Fan's strength.
Ju Shan killed the demon in Guan Guan, which was enough to prove that Ning Fan's strength was comparable to a Mid Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. However, Yun Kuang was also a Mid Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. Between the two of them, there must be a victor.
Ning Fan could not retreat. He needed a chance to show his strength. Not only would he gain the approval of both sides, but he would also make Revered Snow fearful.
Imperial Lightning Star! Sound and thunder!
Under such a technique, a mere echoing technique was nothing!
Yun Kuang's expression changed drastically when his voice was shattered. As for Yu Xiu and Jin Xiu, except for Song Yi and Jie Xiu who had seen the lightning star before, all of their expressions changed!
"Immemorial Divine Vein! Lightning Vein! Could it be … Could it be … "
However, the person who was most shocked by Ning Fan's technique was not anyone but … Yun Ruowei!
Because of Ning Fan's blasphemy, she had been trapped by her Heart Devil for several years. The lingering warmth of that finger would always reverberate in her heart, making her unable to cultivate due to her anger and shame.
Towards Ning Fan, she felt resentful but also amazed.
She knew that Ning Fan was the disciple of the Old Devil …
Moreover, she knew that this young man was just an ant who had just broken through to the Harmonious Spirit Realm a few years ago. Even if she let him go, Ning Fan would not be able to hurt her at all … Mm, if Ning Fan did not play dirty, he would not let Yun Ruowei suffer any losses …
Today, however, Ning Fan in Yun Ruowei's eyes became terrifyingly powerful the moment he activated the lightning star. It even gave Yun Ruowei a strong sense of danger.
The demon race was afraid of lightning. That lightning could greatly suppress them …
"In just a few years, he has actually grown to such a level! However, it's impossible for him to form his Nascent Soul in just a few years. In fact, it's not even enough for him to form his core. What's going on with his qi? Why does he have the strength of a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator …? "
Somehow, the Heart Devil that she had been suppressing for several years emerged in her heart. Yun Ruowei helplessly realized that she could not erase the shadow that Ning Fan had left in her heart at all.
Towards the battle between Ning Fan and Yun Kuang, she could not be as cold and indifferent as she usually was.
"What an abominable man … However, can he withstand Yun Kuang's sword attack? Even I can't withstand that sword attack …" Yun Ruowei bit her lips angrily, feeling helpless and worried about Ning Fan's safety.
