On the military road, the galloping of horses could be heard. Seventeen dragon steeds stood proudly amidst the smoke and dust.
The silver-armored young man in the lead had the aura of a late-stage Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. He was extremely handsome, almost demonic.
His name was Lu Tianming, and he was the most talented among Cloud General Lu Daochen's descendants.
This person had taken a fancy to Lu Wan 'er when she was a disciple of Yun Jiang. However, she had tactfully rejected him and fled.
"I, Lu Tianming, am the most handsome man in Luo Yun! As for Lu Wan'er, her talent is top-notch and her Spiritual Attachment Technique is the best in Luo Yun. Other than this young master, who else is worthy of marrying Lu Wan'er? He, Lu Bei, was nothing. He was only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul Realm a thousand years ago, and he relied on his ancestors. He was a good-for-nothing who failed the Second Blood Awakening Realm. He was the weakest Nascent Soul Realm cultivator in Luo Yun. He was the shame of the Northern Desert! According to the report, the reason why this child was able to awaken his Royal Bloodline was because Wan 'er gave him the Five Revolutions Blood Awakening Pill! However, the Northern Desert Priest, Lu Zongyun, used up all of the ancestral Joss Flames! "
As he spoke, Lu Tianming's handsome face disappeared and was replaced by an evil aura.
Demon General Lu Sheng was originally only qualified to take one Blood Awakening Pill. It was he, Lu Tianming, who begged the Patriarch to bestow him a second one, just for Lu Wan 'er to awaken her blood.
Such a precious medicinal pill, yet Lu Wan'er gifted it to others!
How could Lu Tianming not hate him?
"Lu Bei! Even if this person had Wan 'er's help and Lu Zongyun's full power, and was said to have awakened the Royal Blood, but what was that Royal Blood?! Fu Li?! Is there such a true spirit in this world? You're just playing to the gallery. Today, I, Lu Tianming, will teach you a lesson! "
His horse stomped on the ground, causing the earth to tremble. The strength of this stomp was already at the Half-Step Jade Life Realm!
This person could be said to be a heaven's pride, but his personality was too frivolous and violent. He needed to be tempered.
In the darkness, there was an old man in beast armor. His hair was as white as silver, and his eyes were narrowed. He leaned on a dragon-headed walking stick, but he gave off an aura that could not be ignored.
Behind him, four grand cultivators stood respectfully. One of them, surnamed Qin, had a worried look on his face as he cupped his hands towards the old man.
"Lord Demon Sealer, isn't it... inappropriate for young master Tianming to welcome Lu Bei?!"
"Why?" asked the old man indifferently.
"Young Master Tianming is in love with Demon General Lu Sheng's sister. Everyone knows about this. Rumor has it that Lu Bei has brought Lu Wan 'er with him on this trip. The relationship between the two of them is already very close. I'm afraid that Young Master Tianming will fight against Lu Bei for Lu Wan' er!"
"Isn't that good …" The old man smiled faintly.
"Very good? My Lord! That Lu Bei might have offended the Young Master, but … he didn't deserve to die! Although this person was in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, he was able to awaken the royal bloodline, which meant that his aptitude was extraordinary. No one knew what the Fu Li was, but it was most likely some kind of true spirit that was destroyed by the ancient race. Even so, this person could still be considered a talent. This Lu Bei is only an Early Nascent Soul Realm cultivator after all. On the other hand, Young Master Tianming is a Late Nascent Soul Realm demon cultivator. Not only that, he is also a Half-Step Jade Life Realm demon cultivator … If Young Master Tianming were to kill him in a fit of rage, wouldn't Lu Bei be in danger …? "
"Hehe. Just wait and see. Lu Bei will be fine. On the contrary, my son, Tianming, will be taught a great lesson today. He will use this opportunity to restrain his temperament. Only then will he have the hope to advance to the Divine Transformation Realm in the future …" When the old man talked about Lu Bei, his eyes became absent-minded.
"What? Are you saying that Young Master Tianming is not as good as Lu Bei?!" The great cultivator with the surname Qin could not believe it.
"Do you know the reason why I am here today …?"
"I don't know!" The great cultivator with the surname Qin cupped his fists and lowered his head. He was also puzzled. Today was just an ordinary ceremony to welcome the commander of the Northern Desert Army. Young Master Tianming and the seventeen Nascent Soul Realm cultivators were already enough to make the ceremony grand. Why would the Demon Sealer personally hide in the dark?
"I'm here to save Tianming's life! If I am not here and Lu Bei kills someone … Hehe, no one will be able to stop him … "
"That's impossible! Not to mention that Lu Bei can't kill Young Master, even if he could, he wouldn't dare to kill Young Master in the territory of this prefecture, knowing that Young Master is the descendant of Lord Tianming … "
"You're wrong … Why wouldn't he dare to … If it's for the World Passage, he might even dare to kill me … No one in the Luo Yun Continent can stop him … Zhou Ming of the Endless Sea!"
The old man's cloudy eyes shone with a bright light!
He had already roughly figured out Ning Fan's identity!
Slowly, the old man retracted his bright light and looked at the sky.
Amidst the wind and smoke, a ray of golden light broke through the sky and landed on the military road of the Northern Desert Army!
The golden flames dispersed and turned into a crystal carriage. At the moment when the carriage landed, forty-one elite soldiers of the Northern Desert who were filled with killing intent stepped down from the golden carriage under Yao Yuan's lead.
Most of these forty-one people were at the Early Nascent Soul Realm while a few of them were at the Mid Nascent Soul Realm. However, as they approached the army, their auras were as sharp as swords. The seventeen Nascent Soul Realm demon soldiers from the Northern Desert Army could not rein their horses anymore. Under the pressure of their killing intent, all of them were secretly shocked.
Is this the aura of a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator at the border? Each of the forty-one people in front of them was an expert who had survived hundreds of battles. Their auras were incomparable to the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators from the Northern Desert Army!
Especially Lu Tianming, his eyes turned cold.
Forty-one people! Demon General Lu Sheng actually sent forty-one elite Nascent Soul Realm cultivators to escort a mere Lu Bei!
Moreover, the carriage that Lu Bei was riding on was actually the Golden Flame Carriage! Lu Tianming had begged the old ancestor of the Northern Desert Army to give him this carriage.
"Stop right there! Which army do you belong to? Why have you come to the Northern Desert Army?! "Lu Tianming said coldly.
"I am Yao Yuan, a Demon Guard of the Northern Desert. I am the vanguard of General Lu Sheng. Today, I have come to the Northern Desert Army under the order of Lord Demon Sealer to escort Commander Lu of the Blood Orchid Guard to the Northern Desert Army. He has already participated in the Demon General assessment!"
In private, he could call him General Lu Bei. But in public, his military position must not be ambiguous.
"Commander Lu … Could it be the shame of the Northern Desert, Lu Bei …?" Lu Tianming sneered. Yao Yuan's face darkened.
He raised his head and said, "Commander Lu is definitely not the shame of the Northern Desert! Young Master Tianming, please be careful with your words! "
"Careful with my words? Hehe. Are you lecturing me …? "Lu Tianming squinted his eyes.
"I don't dare!" Although he said he didn't dare, a trace of disdain flashed across Yao Yuan's eyes.
Of course, he knew Lu Tianming. He was the one who pursued General Lu Sheng's younger sister and forced her to leave the Northern Desert.
Such a person might have a good aptitude. However, he was born in the Northern Desert Army. He only knew how to quarrel with words. In Yao Yuan's eyes, he was not worth mentioning.
In the past, he only respected one person, the General of the Northern Desert, Lu Sheng!
As such, the person he respected was Lu Bei!
As for Lu Tianming, no matter how high his cultivation base was, he was not worth mentioning in Yao Yuan's eyes.
"It's good that you don't dare … However, Lord Demon Sealer did not summon Lu Bei without a military order. As for the Demon General assessment, only outstanding demons above the Nascent Soul Realm are selected to participate in the assessment. Entering the Dragon Pool, ascending the Cloud Platform and receiving the Mandate of Heaven … As for Lu Bei, he's just an Early Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. What qualifications does he have to participate in the Demon General assessment?! If there's nothing else, you may return to the Northern Desert! This place does not welcome the shame of the Northern Desert! "
As soon as Lu Tianming finished his words, the sixteen demon soldiers behind him immediately clasped their fists to persuade him. However, Lu Tianming waved his hand and stopped them from speaking.
A trace of anger flashed across Yao Yuan's eyes. The twelve golden orders from Lord Demon Sealer were fake?
How could Demon General Lu Sheng's earnest and serious attitude be slandered?
How could a military order be taken lightly?!
Even if you, Lu Tianming, are the descendant of the Demon Sealer and have extraordinary talents, it's still a crime for you to look down on the Demon Sealer's military order!
Moreover, you, Lu Tianming, dare to say that Commander Lu is a disgrace and that he is not qualified to take the Demon General assessment. This is ridiculous!
If Commander Lu who killed three Deities alone is not qualified, who else in the Luo Yun Continent is qualified to be a general?!
Yao Yuan stared at Lu Tianming angrily. How could he not know that Lu Tianming was merely using his official position to seek revenge from Commander Lu because of Lu Wan 'er?
However, Lu Tianming did not put Yao Yuan's anger in his eyes at all.
"Why aren't you guys back to the Northern Desert?!" Lu Tianming said in a disdainful tone.
"The military order has not been fulfilled. You cannot leave without permission! Young Master Tianming, it's better for you to step aside before things get out of hand! "
"Military order … Who do you think you are to use the military order to threaten me?! A Mid Nascent Soul Realm cultivator is not considered weak in the Northern Desert. However, in my hands, you will die within three moves! "
"What's there to fear about death?!"
Seeing that the battle was about to start, the sixteen demon soldiers behind Lu Tianming all came to persuade him. Lu Tianming was displeased and harrumphed coldly.
"Forget it. For the sake of all the generals, I will not pursue the crime of Yao Yuan's offense. However, if you want to enter the province, you will need to pay a heavy price. Even if you are a border soldier, you should know about this rule … If I am satisfied with your gift, I will allow you to enter the province. If not … Lu Wan 'er has to stay behind!"
Lu Tianming's tone changed. From the beginning to the end, his purpose was very simple.
He wanted to kidnap Lu Wan 'er before she met the old ancestor. He wanted to prevent her from being protected by the old ancestor and get close to him.
This time, Lu Tianming would not let Lu Wan 'er go so easily after she entered the capital city.
This was the way of a foppish young man.
"How dare you! Lady Lu is the younger sister of General Lu Sheng. How can you detain her?! "The forty demon soldiers were enraged. All of them held their swords and were ready to fight.
However, this time, Yao Yuan was not angry. He suddenly sneered.
Gift!
You want a gift!
"Hold on. Everyone, have you forgotten that our Commander Lu has already prepared a 'generous gift'. It is specially prepared for a foppish young man like Young Master Tianming … I'm afraid no one in the prefecture would dare to accept such a generous gift …"
Yao Yuan's words were like a gust of wind that extinguished the anger of all the demon soldiers.
At this moment, all forty-one of them had the same expression. They were waiting to see Lu Tianming make a fool of himself!
There was a generous gift. However, Lu Tianming did not even have the qualifications to accept it!
"Men, prepare the gift!"
With Yao Yuan's order, two muscular Demon Soldiers carried a wooden box and threw it in front of Lu Tianming's mount with an extremely arrogant expression.
One of them even spat in Lu Tianming's direction with disdain.
Lu Tianming was furious. These demon soldiers of the Northern Desert were all ruffians. They were really hateful.
However, this wooden box was extraordinary … It was made of Profound Spiritual Purple Wood. It was used to store spiritual medicines and pills. It would not rot even after ten thousand years and would be as good as new when opened. Just this box alone was worth hundreds of thousands of immortal jade …
This gift seemed to be very expensive.
Forget it. Before punishing Lu Bei, let's take a look at this gift first.
"If this gift is not to my liking, Lu Wan 'er will be mine! Men, open the box! "
Under his command, two trusted subordinates immediately got off their horses and went to the box. Both of them were Early Nascent Soul Realm cultivators. They were born in influential families in the province and were used to living like princes. Although they had reached the Second Blood Awakening Realm, they were only slightly stronger than Lu Bei in the past.
As soon as their hands touched the purple wood box, a fierce aura comparable to that of a Wild Beast immediately rushed towards them. Being caught off guard, the two of them were in a mess and spurted out a mouthful of blood. They could not help but take a few steps back until they reached Lu Tianming's side and fell to the ground. Each of them seemed to have seen an unbelievable scene as their bodies trembled uncontrollably.
"Demon … Demon …"
Not a single one of them was able to say a complete sentence!
The box that contained the generous gift was clearly placed in front of them, but Lu Tianming's trusted subordinates could not even open the lid. Yao Yuan and the other demon soldiers burst into laughter with disdain.
"We have given the gift, but Young Master Tianming's subordinates are too useless. They can't even see what the gift looks like."
These words were like needles piercing Lu Tianming's ears, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.
He raised his horse whip and lashed it towards the two trusted subordinates.
"Useless! Zhang Wei, Liu Kuang, you two go open it! "
As soon as Lu Tianming's voice fell, two more people went to open the box. However, the two of them were in the same situation as the previous ones. Before the lid was opened, they were already scared out of their wits by the fierce aura inside.
This time, Lu Tianming's eyes finally turned serious.
He realized that there must be something extraordinary in the box. Even four Nascent Soul Realm cultivators could not open the lid.
He got off his horse and decided to open the box himself.
However, with every step he took towards the purple box, his heart beat faster. When he reached the side of the box, Lu Tianming's heart almost jumped out of his throat. Even before he opened the box, an extremely terrifying feeling had already enveloped his body.
He was secretly shocked. What exactly was inside the box that made him, a prodigy of the Luo Yun Sect, so afraid?
Out of caution, he decided to ask what was inside the box first.
"Yao Yuan, let me ask you, what is inside the box?!"
"Human heads! The heads that Commander Lu killed! "Yao Yuan sneered.
"Human heads? He's just an Early Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. Who could he possibly kill?! "
Lu Tianming slightly calmed his mind and did not think much of it.
He reached out his hand and was about to open the lid.
Just as the lid was opened by half an inch, a trace of bloody murderous aura came out from it, causing Lu Tianming to be terrified.
He clenched his teeth and forcefully opened the lid by an inch. Through the gap, he could faintly see that there were three human heads inside.
He exerted all his strength to suppress his fear and smashed the lid with his Half-Step Jade Life Realm cultivation.
However, as soon as the lid was broken, Lu Tianming did not expect what he saw.
Human heads. Three human heads!
As soon as the murderous aura from the three human heads was released, Lu Tianming and the other 17 people fell into a state of fear.
Even Lu Tianming's hands and feet were trembling uncontrollably.
"This, this is … this is! Demon, Demon … Demon General! The heads of Demon Generals! "
Lu Tianming's mind was greatly shaken. Under the nourishment of the Profound Spiritual Purple Wood, the three human heads were still in perfect condition.
Furthermore, the hatred, unwillingness, resentment and murderous aura of the three Demon Generals were still intact!
He took seven steps back. With every step he took, he would cough out a mouthful of blood, which carried a trace of murderous aura!
After taking seven steps back, he felt a sharp pain in his chest. He half-knelt on the ground and looked at the direction of the Golden Flame Chariot with fear!
Three Demon Generals' heads and three Demon Generals' lives! Who killed them?!
If Lu Tianming was not mistaken, these three human heads should be the three generals of the Lie Tu Tribe, Bai Yuan, Xu Ri and Feng Zi Qi … Especially Xu Ri, who was praised by the old ancestor of his tribe as the genius that had the highest chance of breaking through to the Mid Divine Transformation Realm!
They died just like that! Who did this?!
Lu Bei … Lu Bei! Yao Yuan said that these three people were killed by Lu Bei!
Lu Bei alone killed three Spirit Severing Realm experts!
And I, in front of Lu Bei, am fighting for a woman with such a ferocious demon!
"This can't be true! It can't be! "
His eyes were filled with madness. At this moment, Ning Fan walked out of the Golden Flame Chariot with Lu Wan 'er.
From the beginning to the end, Ning Fan did not plan to be entangled with Lu Tianming. Lu Tianming was a genius but Ning Fan was an old ancestor. In this Second World, only Demon Sealer Realm experts were qualified to stop him!
If it wasn't because Lu Tianming kept saying that he wanted Lu Wan 'er, Ning Fan would not even bother to look at him.
"You said that you want to detain my wife, Lu Wan 'er! Do you dare to say that again?! "
Ning Fan took a step forward and the momentum of heaven and earth shook. Sword light shone everywhere. With just one step, Lu Tianming was like a dead dog. He coughed out blood and collapsed like a pile of mud. He stared at Ning Fan in disbelief.
"Half … Half-Step Divine Transformation Realm! This is Lu Bei's true strength! "
Even the seven generals of the Luo Yun Sect could not injure Lu Tianming who was a Half-Step Jade Life Realm expert with just one step. The only one who could do it was the old ancestor!
He was Lu Bei!
How was he the weakest Nascent Soul Realm cultivator and the shame of the Northern Desert? His qi was even stronger than some of the Demon Generals that Lu Tianming had met before!
Who could compete with him for the position of the Eighth Demon General? It was laughable that he claimed that this person did not even have the qualifications to enter the assessment …
If this person wants to enter the prefecture, who could stop him?! Moreover, this person could travel freely between the nine divisions in this land of slumber. No one could stop his footsteps!
Whoever dares to stop him would have to learn from the mistakes of those three bloody Demon Generals!
"I'm asking you a question. Do you dare to repeat what you said just now?!"
The second step!
As soon as Ning Fan took that step, Lu Tianming coughed out blood again. His Demon Nascent Soul was on the verge of shattering. His Dao Heart was also crushed by Ning Fan's step!
Without a hundred years, it was impossible for him to reconstruct his Dao Heart. Even if he managed to reconstruct it, it would be difficult for him to attain the Divine Transformation Realm in this lifetime!
Lu Wan 'er stood behind Ning Fan. She was touched and shocked at the same time.
She was touched because Ning Fan kept saying 'Wan' er is my wife '. At this moment, Ning Fan gave her a feeling that he would not show mercy to anyone who comes to fight for Lu Wan' er!
"It's not worth it to offend the Demon Sealing Realm for a silly girl like me …" She muttered softly but Ning Fan did not seem to hear her.
What made Lu Wan 'er even more incredulous were the three Demon Generals' heads. One of them even had the same qi as the phoenix wings.
Previously, when she asked Ning Fan where he got the phoenix wings, Ning Fan said that he obtained them by killing people. She did not believe him. She did not believe that Ning Fan had the strength to kill a Divine Transformation Realm expert.
After all, it was already difficult to fight a Divine Transformation Realm expert head-on. To kill a Divine Transformation Realm expert and prevent their primordial spirit and demon soul from escaping was just wishful thinking … Only a Mid Divine Transformation Realm expert could kill an Early Divine Transformation Realm expert …
However, the truth was right before her eyes. Lu Wan 'er had no choice but to believe it. It was Ning Fan who killed Xu Ri who had the phoenix bloodline and seized his wings!
Not only that, Ning Fan had killed three Divine Transformation Realm experts!
There were only a few Divine Transformation Realm experts in this land of slumber. Even Lu Wan 'er who was in her room could recognize the faces of the three Divine Transformation Realm experts.
Bai Yuan who had the bloodline of Bai Ze, Feng Zi Qi who had the bloodline of Black Tortoise and Xu Ri who had the bloodline of Fire Phoenix … Even her elder brother said that he only had a fifty percent chance of winning against Xu Ri …
However, all three of them were killed by Ning Fan alone … Doesn't this mean that Ning Fan's strength had already far surpassed Lu Sheng who was known as the second general of the Luo Yun Tribe? Moreover, even the first general might not be a match for Ning Fan. The only person who could be a match for Ning Fan was probably Demon Sealing Realm …
"Lu Bei is actually this powerful … But I never knew about it …" Lu Wan 'er's eyes were filled with apologetic and admiration.
In the dark, Cloud General Lu Daochen's eyes were filled with shock.
He had deduced Ning Fan's identity. He should be a human and a devil who had infiltrated the Endless Sea. His name was Zhou Ming.
He predicted that Ning Fan would show his strength to Lu Tianming. With this setback, Lu Tianming would restrain his temper and focus on cultivation, truly embarking on the path of a true expert.
However, Lu Daochen would never expect that Ning Fan could kill three Demon Generals of the Lie Tu Tribe alone!
"Bai Yuan, Feng Zi Qi … Xu Ri! Even if I personally take action, I'm afraid I can only kill two out of the three of them. As for that Xu Ri, his Rising From The Ashes Technique can only be killed by an Immemorial Divine Weapon … Unless I use the 'Power of Bestowment', I won't be able to kill that demon … I can't do it but this Lu Bei actually did it … It seems like I've still underestimated this young man … "
Lu Daochen remained silent while the expressions of the four Peak Nascent Soul cultivators behind him changed drastically.
Killing three Demon Generals of the Lie Tu Tribe … This Lu Bei is really a monster!
However, when they saw Ning Fan taking two consecutive steps and shattering their young lord's Dao Heart, none of them dared to just stand by and watch.
"Lu Bei! Stop! "
Four rays of light shot out, trying to block Lu Tianming's path.
However, just as the four rays of light appeared, the purple star in Ning Fan's left eye flashed and he took the third step!
"Get lost!"
With his current strength, the three Peak Nascent Soul cultivators' chests trembled violently and they were sent flying while coughing out blood.
The four of them stared at Ning Fan in disbelief. That step was the might of the royal bloodline!
Unless their cultivation base was far stronger than Ning Fan's, as a member of the demon race, they did not have the qualifications to fight Ning Fan at all.
"Lu Bei …"
Lu Wan 'er held Ning Fan back, afraid that he would kill Lu Tianming.
"Don't worry. I will handle this matter …"
Ning Fan's eyes flashed with cold light and his gaze fell on Lu Tianming again.
"I'm asking you a question! If you don't answer me, you will die! Do you dare to ask for my wife again in front of me?! "
On the fourth step, Lu Tianming looked like he had turned into a bloody man. His expression was filled with fear, bitterness, panic and begging for mercy while looking at Ning Fan.
Ning Fan's words were like thunderbolts exploding in his Sea of Consciousness. He did not dare to resist at all.
"Tianming, I don't dare!"
Of course, he wouldn't dare! He was a profligate young master but he was not a fool. As a profligate young master, he must first figure out who he could offend and who he could not!
Ning Fan was someone that he, Lu Tianming, could never afford to offend in his entire life. Even if he was a Divine Transformation Realm expert, he could not afford to offend him!
In front of Ning Fan, all of his glory was nothing but a pathetic joke.
"From today onwards, I, Lu Tianming, will not pester Miss Wan 'er anymore. If I violate this oath, I will be punished like this!"
He drew his sword and cut off three of his fingers. Blood flowed like a fountain and he felt excruciating pain. However, he did not dare to feel sorry for his fingers. He was afraid that this apology was not enough to appease Ning Fan's anger.
"Very well! From today onwards, I don't want to see you anywhere I go! Get lost! "
"Yes …"
…
In the dark, Lu Daochen sighed.
On the surface, Ning Fan was punishing Lu Tianming. But in the dark, his spirit sense had collided with Lu Daochen three times.
Lu Daochen did not manage to gain any advantage from Ning Fan during the three encounters.
"This brat actually knew that I was hiding here and guessed that I wanted to use this matter to temper Tianming's will so that he could get rid of his personal feelings and the arrogance of a playboy and become an indomitable great demon … This brat has seen through this old man's thoughts. That's why this brat didn't kill Tianming. In this way, this old man owes him a favor …"
"This child's ambition is not in Luo Yun but the Third World! However, the Third World is not what he imagined … It doesn't have what he wants … "
"Wan 'er, you've finally found a good home. Now, I can be at ease …"
"Wan 'er, you've finally found a good home. Now, I can be at ease …"
Lu Daochen let out a sigh and left in demonic smoke.
Since he didn't kill Lu Tianming, it could be considered as fulfilling the old man's wish, giving Lu Tianming the best setback to temper himself.
If Lu Daochen did not give him enough benefits, Ning Fan might turn the entire Luo Yun Prefecture upside down for the World Passage of the Third World!
Now, he had the strength to do so! And strength was the guarantee of being domineering …
"I want the World Path of the Third World!" (To be continued)
