Ning Fan kept his blood sword.
He was not happy about killing Greed. Instead, he was worried because what he killed was not his true body but just a split soul.
Thousands of years ago, Greed Star Lord sneaked into the Heaven Palace. Today, just a split soul of his already had a Late Divine Transformation Realm cultivation base … Ning Fan did not know what kind of fortuitous encounter this Greed Star Lord had. Now, he was probably at least a Mid Void Refinement Realm expert.
However, even if he had a second chance, Ning Fan would still kill Greed Star Lord again since this split soul of Greed Star Lord wanted to kill him.
That was his personality.
With a flick of his sleeve, he carried the two heavily-injured lightning generals back to the Seven Apricot Voyage Ship.
As soon as they were out of danger, they immediately bowed to Ning Fan.
"Lei Mu and Lei Tu, the demon generals of the second troop, thank you for saving our lives, General Bei! If you need me, I will not hesitate to die ten thousand times! "
Ning Fan glanced at the two of them and tossed them two jade slips.
"You don't have to thank me. However … I want to know all the information about the Heaven Palace and the reason why the two of you are being chased by the star beasts. The two of you will each imprint a copy of the information and the jade slips. If the two jade slips are different, don't blame me for being merciless and searching your souls and memories! "
"D-We don't dare …"
As the demon generals of the second lightning tribe, both of them had Divine Transformation Realm cultivation bases and they were arrogant.
However, in front of Ning Fan, they did not even dare to raise their heads or breathe loudly.
Lu Bei of the Luo Yun Tribe! He was a ruthless man who had shaken the nine tribes!
Today, the baleful qi on this ruthless man was more than ten times denser than before!
They did not dare to disobey Ning Fan's order!
Ning Fan would not save them for nothing. The reason why he saved them was just to get some information about the Heaven Palace from them.
If it wasn't because they were both from the nine tribes of the Lu Clan, he would have probably searched their souls and memories.
Currently, the two of them were already frightened. They naturally did not dare to hide the information about the Heaven Palace from Ning Fan. It also saved them the trouble of searching their souls.
After handing the jade slips to Ning Fan, they hesitated for a while before gritting their teeth and cupping their fists at him.
"The Heaven Palace today is too terrifying. It's not a place where Late Divine Transformation Realm cultivators and those below can enter … We are already severely injured and we don't dare to enter the Heaven Palace again. We beg General Bei to allow us to leave the Third World and return to the Second World first …"
"Sure!"
Ning Fan's eyes remained unmoved. What does it have to do with him whether these two people leave or not?
The two Lightning Generals sighed emotionally. Originally, the two of them wanted to enter the Third Realm and awaken the Daemon Commander so that they could contribute. However, he did not expect that the Third Realm would undergo such a huge change and be filled with danger.
The two generals each escaped with a jade array disc. This array disc was an item that every Demon General of the Nine Divisions had obtained to leave the Third Realm.
Activating the formation plate, the two of them turned into two rays of formation light and gradually disappeared without a trace. They should have returned to the second world.
As for Ning Fan, he pressed the two jade slips on his glabella. After searching through them, he found out that the information in the two jade slips was basically the same. It was obvious that the two of them did not lie.
However, the content of the information made Ning Fan's expression turn solemn.
"Such an unforeseen event has actually occurred in the Sky Hall!"
"What's going on? There's something wrong with that Astral Beast from earlier. "Yuan Yao, Yue Lingkong, and Wu Yan all noticed that there was something wrong with the Ravenous Wolf.
"Take a look at the jade slip yourselves."
The ladies received the jade slip from Ning Fan's hand. After they took a look at it, their expressions changed.
"Lu Wu is dead?! A new Demon Commander's egg appeared in the Sky Palace?! "
Wu Yan was the first to exclaim in shock.
Wu Yan could not help but feel surprised. After all, she had never expected that Demon Commander Lu Wu who was sleeping in the Third Realm would actually die.
According to the information in the jade slip, there were a total of three people including the one who died in the mouth of Ravenous Wolf's split soul.
The three of them went through a lot of hardships and finally entered the Sky Palace through the star door of the Army Destroyer Star Ocean.
However, not long after they entered the palace, they were discovered by countless demon beasts and were hunted by them.
Fortunately, the three of them were rescued by the Nine Divisions of Demon Commanders and were temporarily safe.
The three of them found out that the Nine Divisions of Demon Commanders had been teleported to the Sky Palace from the beginning and discovered a shocking secret – Demon Commander Lu Wu was already dead!
At the place where the Demon Commander died, a ferocious beast of the Howling Moon Wolf Clan devoured the Demon Commander's corpse and produced a demon egg. Then, it occupied one of the giant doors that led to the depths of the Sky Palace.
The three of them were ordered by the Nine Divisions of Demon Commanders to investigate the demon egg. However, they were accidentally discovered by a group of demon beasts. They fled all the way to the ruins of a medicinal garden before they managed to shake off their pursuers.
However, they did not stay in the medicinal garden for long as they were discovered by the Late Divine Transformation Realm Ravenous Wolf's split soul again. In their panic, the three of them coincidentally met Ning Fan who was about to enter the Sky Palace.
What happened after that was Ning Fan saving them.
The news of Lu Wu's death made Wu Yan, Xi Ran and the other female demons sigh.
As for Yuan Yao, she was worried about something else.
"With Lu Wu's death, I wonder if the 'Star Palace Key' has fallen into the hands of that mysterious wolf demon …"
Star spirits could only exist in the power of the stars. Ning Fan was not the only one who recognized the star spirits. He might not be the only one who guessed that the Star Palace was the Star of the Celestial Sovereign.
The entire Star Palace was the power of the Celestial Sovereign. In order to obtain this power, one must find the center of the Star Palace and activate the star power with the key.
In Yuan Yao's opinion, the key must be in the hands of Lu Wu. Since Lu Wu was dead and his corpse was eaten, the key naturally fell into the hands of the mysterious wolf demon.
"I must obtain the Emperor Star! I must snatch the key from the hands of that wolf demon! "Yuan Yao's eyes were filled with seriousness.
"The key, huh …?"
Ning Fan felt like laughing. Of course, he would not tell Yuan Yao that the key to obtain the Emperor Star had already been given to him by Lu Daochen. In one of his dreams, the key disappeared and led to another dream which condensed into a star power chess piece.
The key was not in the hands of the wolf demon but in his own hands.
Looking at Yuan Yao's serious expression, Ning Fan thought that if he told her about the chess piece, would this woman risk her life to get the Star of the Celestial Sovereign?
"With your identity, why did you come to fight for the Emperor Star? As far as I know, even though this Emperor Star is the inheritance of the Celestial Sovereign, it has gone through too many years of mountain shattering. There is not much power left in it. At most, it can only help a Divine Transformation Realm expert advance by one level. With your strength, you don't seem to need such a useless item, do you …? "
"Useless! You said that the power of the Star of the Celestial Sovereign is useless?! It seems like you haven't even figured out the use of the Star of the Celestial Sovereign yet you came to this Sky Palace to fight for it! "
Yuan Yao laughed out of anger. However, when she thought about it carefully, it was understandable that Ning Fan did not know the true power of the Star of the Celestial Sovereign.
"If you don't mind, can you tell me about the true use of the Emperor Star? Of course, if you think that I'm an outsider and don't deserve to know any secrets, you don't have to tell me. After all, in my eyes, the Emperor Star is just a tool for me to advance by one level. That's all. "
Ning Fan smiled playfully. His smile was harmless but it made Yuan Yao avert her eyes subconsciously. She bit her lips and said hesitantly.
"It's not like I can't tell you … After all, it's unlikely for you to get the Emperor Star … In the eyes of ordinary Divine Transformation Realm experts like you, this item only has one use and that is to improve your cultivation base. However, in the eyes of some True Immortal Realm experts, it has a second and third use …"
"The second use is to comprehend the 'Black Star Technique' of the Celestial Sovereign. However, the power of this Celestial Sovereign Star has been severely depleted. Unless one has great luck, the probability of comprehending the Black Star Technique with this small Emperor Star is less than one in a million. Thus, no True Immortal Realm experts would go to war for a mere broken star of the Celestial Sovereign Star … However, this is the reason why I came to fight for this star."
"I need the power of the Black Star. I don't need too much. Just a trace of it is enough … With this power, it should be able to help my … my younger sister suppress the killing intent of the Gui Vein and slay the scarlet dragon. Then, she will no longer have to worry about that shameful matter …"
When Yuan Yao mentioned Bei Xiaoman, she unnaturally changed the way she addressed her. She did not call her daughter but called her younger sister.
For some unknown reason, she did not want Ning Fan to know that she was already a mother. Perhaps, she was afraid that Ning Fan would look down on her after knowing about it.
"So, it's because of your younger sister?"
Ning Fan nodded his head. Based on his speculation, Yuan Yao was Bei Xiaoman's elder sister. If that's the case, the reason why Yuan Yao came to seize the Star of the Celestial Emperor was just to help Bei Xiaoman, the unruly lady, stop her menstruation …
Slay the scarlet dragon. The scarlet dragon is the menstrual blood … Other than Bei Xiaoman, most female cultivators would get rid of their scarlet dragon. Otherwise, they would have to go into secluded cultivation once a month and the pain would last for six to seven days.
If it wasn't because of her menstrual problem, Bei Xiaoman's innate potential would have long reached the Late Divine Transformation Realm. Would she be so weak that she would be bullied by Ning Fan?
"If I obtain the Star of the Celestial Emperor, I will split a trace of the black star power to help you treat your younger sister's' injuries' …"
"You?" Yuan Yao was a little surprised. Ning Fan would actually help her?
"Even though I don't think you can kill the Void Refinement Realm demon wolf and seize the key to the Star Palace, I still have to thank you for your kindness …" Yuan Yao's heart was filled with warmth.
With her identity, there were naturally countless people who would express their goodwill to her for various benefits. However, those goodwill were rarely sincere.
Her cultivation base was too strong and her status was too high. It was lonely being at the top. She rarely had friends and there were even fewer people she could trust.
Besides, she had never relied on anyone and always took charge of everything on her own.
However, now that her cultivation base was sealed and her injuries were too severe, she could not recover her cultivation base. Thus, she needed Ning Fan's protection no matter where she went.
This kind of feeling was really nostalgic …
"What's the third use of the Emperor Star?" Ning Fan asked again.
"The third use is to open the secret places of some of the ancient Heavenly Court's seals. Of course, the Emperor Star is already damaged. With this small amount of star power, it won't be able to do anything. Thus, there won't be any True Immortals who are too strong who will pay the price and descend to the lower worlds to fight for this star."
If the power of this Emperor Star was as good as before, it would definitely not be just a group of Divine Transformation Realm cultivators who would fight for it.
However, it was also because the Emperor Star was damaged that he had the possibility to obtain it.
"I see …"
Ning Fan did not say anything else and sorted out his thoughts.
With the key in his hands, if there is no need for him to compete with Greed, he could directly sneak into the Heaven Palace and take another path to obtain the Emperor Star in secret.
However, before that, he could do Wu Yan and the other women a favor.
"According to the information provided by General Lei and Mu, they seem to have mentioned the remains of a medicinal garden … There might be the ashes of the emperor medicines that you need there. With these, you and Xi Ran will certainly satisfy the Spirit King when you return to the Spirit King Palace. You will be rewarded handsomely."
"Are we going to the remains of that medicinal garden? Those few lightning generals are being targeted by the Wild Beasts there. Will they be in danger? "Wu Yan was a little worried. She was afraid that Ning Fan would fall into unnecessary danger because of her mission.
"I'm not afraid. If it's just Greed's separated soul …"
Ning Fan's eyes flashed with cold light.
There was another piece of information that he did not tell the women.
The jade slips that the two star lords gave Ning Fan mentioned one thing.
In the past, the disappearance of Star Lord Greed was to enter the Heaven Palace. His purpose was to find Demon Marshal Lu Wu's corpse, devour and refine it so that he could break free from his star spirit body.
Both Po Jun and Qi Sha did not think that Greed could succeed. However, the truth proved that Greed succeeded.
Only Ning Fan knew that the wolf demon who devoured Lu Wu's corpse in the Heaven Palace and caused countless killings was none other than Greed!
Currently, Greed had produced a demon egg and was sleeping in it, trying to break free from his star spirit body. Thus, there was nothing to fear.
If it's just Greed's separated soul, a Late Divine Transformation Realm soul, Ning Fan would kill all of them!
The ship soared straight to the peak of the galaxy and flew into the star door.
As soon as they landed on the ground, before Ning Fan could put away the ship, countless demonic beasts that were at least at the Gold Core Realm in all directions noticed the intruders. They let out strange roars and surrounded them. There were at least several thousand of them.
"Die!"
Ning Fan swept across with his sword sense. All of the Gold Core Realm demonic beasts were minced into pieces by Mo Nian.
After putting away the ship, Ning Fan looked towards the north. There, ancient trees towered into the sky. There seemed to be some remains hidden in the deepest part of the forest.
"Is it there …?"
Ning Fan flicked his sleeves and displayed his teleportation ability. He carried the women and flew towards the ruins.
