Ning Fan carried Gusu on his shoulder and continued to chase after Luo Sen.
His eyes were calm and his steps were steady and powerful. He did not pay much attention to the incident where he rushed into the Purple Primordial Sea and shocked Zuo Tong.
Instead of explaining a hundred reasons to the Purple Charm Sect, it was better to crush the formation light that blocked his path.
In order to make the domineering Purple Charm Sect lower its head, what he needed was not a touching reason but a strength that no one would dare to stop.
Not only did he want to let the External Endless Sea know that he had returned, but he also wanted to let everyone know that he was not someone to be trifled with!
Luo Sen seemed to be purposely escaping towards the route of the ten sects, trying to stop Ning Fan with the experts of the ten sects.
No one knew how far this cunning Roushan Devil Lord had already escaped.
Ning Fan was not in a hurry. In front of him, the floating islands where the forces were stationed appeared one after another.
Occasionally, he would encounter some sea-sealing formations set up by the islands. However, he would forcefully break through all of them.
Even the formation light of the Purple Charm Sect could not stop him. How could ordinary forces stop him?!
Pengwang Island, Xiang Family!
In the External Endless Sea, the Xiang Family was once an unparalleled force. With Xiang Liao who was a Half-Step Divine Transformation Realm expert, almost no one in the ten sects and three islands dared to offend the Xiang Family. It was a well-deserved first-rate force.
However, as 17 experts of the Xiang Family including Xiang Liao died tragically in the Pill Cauldron Gate, the Xiang Family's status in the External Endless Sea had plummeted.
Being hunted by the Pill Cauldron Gate and their old enemies, the Xiang Family declined all the way. Twenty years later, the once prosperous Xiang Family had already fallen to a third-rate force.
In the elder's hall, seven Gold Core Realm experts of the Xiang Family were sitting and discussing. At the highest seat, there was an old man at the Early Nascent Soul Realm.
Currently, the Xiang Family only had seven Gold Core Realm experts and one Nascent Soul Realm expert left.
That Nascent Soul Realm expert had forcefully increased his cultivation realm using a secret technique. He was just there to keep up appearances. His combat power was really low.
The seven Gold Core Realm experts were discussing whether to join the Alliance of Ming Assassins.
The Alliance of Ming Assassins existed to assassinate Zhou Ming.
The biggest enemy of the Xiang Family was also Zhou Ming.
If they could rely on the Alliance of Ming Assassins and climb up the tree of the Alliance, the Xiang family might have a chance to rise again.
"Family Head, in my opinion, the Ferocious Devil Zhou Ming has already returned to the Outer Endless Sea, and the Ming Assassin Alliance is getting restless. They're preparing to destroy this devil, and they're in need of manpower. If my Xiang family joins the alliance, it's no different from hugging a big tree. There's no need to hesitate on this matter! "
An advanced-stage Golden Core Realm cultivator stood up, cupped his fists, and spoke with confidence and composure. His words caused the other six Golden Core Realm cultivators of the Xiang Clan to nod in agreement.
"You can't!" The old Nascent Soul cultivator, who had been silent all this time, slowly opened his eyes. His face was filled with the vicissitudes of life.
He was the only remaining Nascent Soul cultivator in the Xiang Clan and he was the current Clan Master of the Xiang Clan.
"Why? The main responsibility of the Patriarch was the prosperity of the clan! Could it be that Family Head is reluctant to give up control of the Xiang Family? "
The late-stage Golden Core cultivator questioned.
If they joined the Alliance, the Xiang Family would naturally be taken over. This was the price of hugging a big tree. Seeing that the Nascent Soul Realm old man didn't agree to join the alliance, the late Golden Core Realm cultivator thought that the old man was being selfish.
"What a joke! Why would I care about the Patriarch position of a declining family? The reason why I'm against joining the alliance is just because I'm afraid of one person … The Alliance wants to assassinate Zhou Ming. They're just courting death! I heard that Devil Lord Zhou Ming has already reached the Divine Transformation Realm … What I mean is that if our Xiang Clan doesn't want to destroy the last of our bloodline, we must not become enemies with Zhou Ming! "
A hint of fear flashed across the eyes of the Nascent Soul Realm old man as if he was recalling the tragic incident in the past.
His words made each of the Gold Core Realm cultivators of the Xiang Clan sink into contemplation. Those who had never seen Ning Fan killing people mercilessly would never know how ferocious the name 'Zhou Ming' was!
On that day, no one in the Pill Cauldron Gate expected that the Half-Step Divine Transformation Realm Xiang Liao would die. However, the seventeen experts of the Xiang Clan died in Zhou Ming's hands so easily!
"Zhou Ming who is at the Nascent Soul Realm is invincible in the External Endless Sea. We can't afford to offend him who is at the Divine Transformation Realm!" The old man asserted.
The late-stage Gold Core Realm cultivator's eyelids twitched. As a matter of fact, he had secretly joined the alliance a long time ago. That was why he tried his best to persuade the Xiang Clan to join the alliance.
"Even if Zhou Ming is at the Divine Transformation Realm, the alliance has more than ten Divine Transformation Realm cultivators …"
He still needed to continue persuading the old man. At the next moment, the entire Pengwang Island shook violently as if it was being rammed by some ferocious beast!
The eight experts of the palace immediately turned into rays of light and left the palace. Their faces were filled with shock and uncertainty.
The sea where the Pengwang Island was located was filled with turbulent currents. In the past, there would occasionally be sea beasts that were affected by the currents and crashed into the foundation of the island.
If a Gold Core Realm sea beast crashed into the island, it would only tremble slightly for a moment before stopping. If a Nascent Soul Realm sea beast crashed into the island, it would shake for a few breaths. However, after a few breaths, the shaking would definitely stop.
However, this time, the shaking of the island was too intense. It was as if the Pengwang Island was about to be crushed into two halves by something!
As soon as the eight experts left the palace, they scanned their surroundings. At the next moment, what they saw and heard was something that they would never forget for the rest of their lives!
They saw a three thousand zhang * (3.33m per zhang) tall giant carrying an island that was a few times larger than the Pengwang Island on its shoulder.
The force of that step was too heavy. Half of the Pengwang Island was crushed and sank into the sea!
"G-Giant! Who is this man?! He crushed half of the island with a single step … His cultivation base is too terrifying! "The Late Gold Core Realm cultivator's face turned pale with fright. If this giant is here to annihilate the Xiang Clan, the Xiang Clan would definitely be destroyed!
"He is Zhou Ming! Look at him. Do you still think that joining the Alliance of Ming Assassins is the right choice?! "
The Nascent Soul Realm old man took a deep breath and closed his eyes helplessly.
At the moment when his eyes met the giant's, his nascent soul almost collapsed as if it was pierced by a sword.
Even if ordinary Divine Transformation Realm cultivators could instantly kill a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, they would not be able to make someone's nascent soul collapse with just a glance.
How could the old man not understand that Ning Fan was definitely not an ordinary Divine Transformation Realm cultivator after he attained the Divine Transformation Realm?
"Impossible! Even the Divine Transformation Realm old ancestors of the Ying Zhou Immortal Island can't transform into such a huge body! "
The Late Gold Core Realm cultivator was filled with fear. The same expression also appeared on the faces of the other six Gold Core Realm cultivators and the thousands of cultivators of the Xiang Clan.
Fortunately, the giant was just passing by Pengwang Island and did not kill anyone. This made the cultivators of the Xiang Clan heave a sigh of relief.
"Xiang Qi, as you can see, Zhou Ming cannot be offended … I know that you have secretly joined the Alliance of Ming Assassins. However, I'm just reminding you that if you try to put the Xiang Clan in danger again, I will kill you instantly!"
The Nascent Soul Realm old man's eyes flashed with cold light. He would never allow anyone to provoke Ning Fan.
The Xiang Clan had declined but at least it was not destroyed. The old man could not let the Xiang Clan perish in his hands!
Hengshan Island in the Black Reef Sea.
Hengshan Island was an unlucky island.
There was an unlucky sect on the island called the Eternal Cloud Sect.
The old ancestor of Hengyun was even more unlucky. His name was Wang Heng.
Wang Heng was an Early Gold Core Realm cultivator. More than thirty years ago, he was already an Early Gold Core Realm cultivator. Even now, he was still an Early Gold Core Realm cultivator.
Even though his innate talent was not high, he had almost reached the peak of the Early Gold Core Realm in the past. However, more than thirty years had passed and he had yet to break through to the Mid Gold Core Realm. Moreover, he had once obtained a Gold Core Realm Dao Fruit. After consuming it, his magic power had almost reached the Late Gold Core Realm. However, because of the shadow in his heart, he could not break through to the Mid Gold Core Realm.
His heart had been scarred by an earth-shattering battle thirty years ago.
On that day, a mad devil named Zhou Ming killed three Nascent Soul Realm cultivators of the Demon Sealing Sect on Hengshan Island and protected Yin Suqiu!
Wang Heng was suffering … In the stone chamber, he tried to break through to the Gold Core Realm again but he still failed. He could not help but complain inwardly.
"Senior Zhou Ming, if you want to kill someone, just kill them. Why did you come to my island to kill them?"
"You killed someone and ran away. As a result, the experts of the Demon Sealing Sect died on my island. I don't know how many times the people of the Demon Sealing Sect have investigated me."
"If it wasn't because I'm not related to you in any way and if it wasn't because I offered a lot of immortal jade as a bribe, I would have been long dead and the Hengyun Sect would have been annihilated …"
"Senior Zhou Ming, I'm doomed because of you. Now that you've become the strongest expert of the External Endless Sea, I'm always on tenterhooks. I'm afraid that someone will find out that I'm related to you and I'll be killed …"
Wang Heng's wrinkled face turned into a bitter gourd and he sighed continuously.
At this moment, the Hengshan Island suddenly shook violently.
"O-Old ancestor, something bad has happened …" A Daoist child rushed into Wang Heng's stone chamber in a panic.
"What's so noisy about? What's so bad about it? Is there another expert from the High Sect who came to ask for a bribe? "
Wang Heng walked out of the main hall impatiently. As soon as he stepped out of the door, what he saw and heard almost scared him to the point of wetting his pants.
A three thousand zhang tall purple-armored giant was walking on the sea while carrying a huge island as if there was no one else around.
"Oh my god. Such a huge giant … What's his cultivation base? No, this person's qi is very familiar. He's … he's … Zhou Ming! "
Wang Heng's wrinkled face was on the verge of crying.
"Senior Zhou, you can't bully me like this. You're here again. You've implicated me again …"
"Now that you're being hunted by the Ming Assassin Alliance, I can't be implicated by you!"
"Besides, when you left the island that day, I was the one who helped you to destroy the evidence … When others came to investigate your background, I didn't betray you at all. You can't bite the hand that feeds you!"
Seeing that the purple-armored giant was about to crush the island, Wang Heng closed his eyes in despair and murmured incessantly.
As for the giant, it seemed to have heard his words. Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks. His cold eyes swept across the island as if he had recalled something. He stared at Wang Heng without saying a word. A moment later, he pointed a finger and a ray of black light shot towards Wang Heng. Then, he took a step forward and disappeared without a trace, leaving only a sentence behind.
"Seeing that you're my old friend, I'll grant you a fortune!"
After the black light entered Wang Heng's body, it made his body tremble. The shadow in his heart slowly disappeared. It was as if Ning Fan had helped him break through the bottleneck with his great magic power.
Wang Heng was stunned. He was shocked.
That was just a casual point of his finger. However, he could actually help someone break through the bottleneck!
"Rumor has it that only old monsters who have attained the Void Inquiry Stage or above can borrow the power of the void to help juniors break through the bottleneck of their immortal veins … Could it be that this Senior Zhou Ming is actually a Void Refinement Realm cultivator who has passed the Void Inquiry Stage test before?!"
Wang Heng was stunned. He felt that the way he walked out of the main hall must be wrong.
Is Senior Zhou Ming really that powerful?
"I'm really lucky to have a relationship with a Void Refinement Realm senior!"
Wang Heng seemed to have become more courageous. He was no longer afraid of the Demon Sealing Palace and the Ming Assassin Alliance.
There was only one thing that he had to do now. It was to go into seclusion as soon as possible and prepare to break through to the Late Gold Core Realm. (To be continued.)
