Ning Fan let go of Feng Xueyan. He did not have the intention to tease her.
She was Xu Qiuling's younger sister. Therefore, she was also his younger sister. Even though he was a sentimental person, he knew that if he hurt her, he would definitely hurt Xu Qiuling's heart.
To Ning Fan, Xu Qiuling's tolerance and tolerance was an indescribable warmth. He would not hurt her sisters.
Feng Xueyan stood up and quietly distanced herself from Ning Fan. Then, she quickly tidied up her clothes.
When she thought about how Ning Fan took off her clothes after she fainted and saw everything, her face flushed with anger.
However, when she noticed that there was a warm and vast magic power flowing in her body, her brows immediately relaxed.
Feng Xueyan was a man of few words and her cultivation base was low but she was not a fool.
She could naturally see that the magic power in her body was relieving her pain and nourishing her body.
Of course, she also understood that with her Tenth Level Vein Opening Realm cultivation base, it was impossible for her to have such vast magic power. Moreover, even her father did not have such vast magic power …
This magic power must have been channeled into her body by Ning Fan.
He was not flirting with her just now. Instead, he was saving her.
"I'm sorry, brother-in-law. I misunderstood you … You were saving me. I should thank you. I shouldn't blame you …" Feng Xueyan moved her lips and apologized to Ning Fan.
Somehow, she seemed to be a little worried that Ning Fan would be angry at her. This brother-in-law whom she had just met was not only a good person who saved her but also the first person who found her and talked to her directly.
"Silly girl … By the way, what's going on with the black flame seal on your back?" Ning Fan asked.
"What seal? I don't know … "Feng Xueyan shook her head.
"Really? Just pretend that I didn't say anything … Let me ask you another question. Where did you get that beast hide scroll?"
"Grandpa gave it to me …"
"Grandpa? Who is it?! " Ning Fan faintly felt that this so-called grandpa was closely related to the devil blood in Feng Xueyan's body.
"Grandpa is … Eh? I forgot …" Feng Xueyan had actually forgotten who her grandpa was. Did her memory get erased by the pseudo samsara?!
Ning Fan's eyes turned grim. This Giant Devil Clan was far stranger than he imagined.
The devil blood that Feng Xueyan bred, the beast skin scroll, the eight layers of seals, the fake Samsara power, her elder and the hidden Void Pierce Stage expert …
The waters of the Giant Demon Clan seemed to be a bit deep!
The reason why Feng Xueyan's body was weak and sickly, and her cultivation base was low was because of the devil blood in her body. Ordinary members of the Giant Devil Clan might not know about this matter, but as Feng Xueyan's father, Revered Giant should know about it. Why didn't he do anything about it?
The elder whom Feng Xueyan addressed so intimately was naturally a member of the Giant Devil Clan. Was the person who harmed Feng Xueyan an outsider or someone from the Giant Devil Clan?
Perhaps … he was a hidden expert of the Giant Devil Race!
Ning Fan frowned. The situation of the Giant Devil Clan is so complicated. Should I help Feng Xueyan?
He did not know who the enemies in the dark were. The only thing he knew was that if he helped Feng Xueyan, he would definitely ruin their plans and offend them.
He didn't even know who his enemies were, so it was unwise to rashly offend them.
Given Ning Fan's personality, he would prioritize his own benefits first. He would never make such a choice. It was just like how he always had a cold-blooded attitude towards the Six-Winged Clan.
However, Feng Xueyan was different. She was Xu Qiuling's sister. If she died, Xu Qiuling would be sad.
When he thought of Xu Qiuling, Ning Fan's eyes gradually became determined.
"I, Ning Fan, have always been doing things my own way all my life. I don't care about good or evil. I just want to have a clear conscience and no regrets in my Dao … If I abandon this girl and make Qiuling sad … I will definitely regret it!"
"We need to save this woman, but we need to be clear about the steps. First, I have to figure out who the enemy is. Only by knowing myself and the enemy can I be prepared. Secondly, Ju Qing's concern for his daughter didn't seem fake. The fact that the Giant Demon Clan used all of their power to search for elixirs to heal his daughter also didn't seem fake. Even though the human heart is treacherous and it's hard to guard against it at times, I should still participate in the Pill Ceremony this time. Even if it's not for the Void Inquiry Pill, I still have to fight for a slot to concoct pills to cure my illness. Let's see if that elixir can cure this woman. If it can't … "
Ning Fan's eyes flashed with a cold and sharp light.
"If I can't, then I'll have to find another way to save this woman. As for the mastermind behind this scheme, we must find out who it is! "
Based on Ning Fan's personality, once he has made a decision, he would not go back on his words.
He looked at Feng Xueyan and said with a solemn expression. "Little girl, don't tell anyone about what I asked you today and the fact that I saw your naked body and the beast skin scroll."
"Understood."
Feng Xueyan's smile was very sweet. She realized that Ning Fan's eyes at this moment were serious, fierce and scary. They were not gentle at all.
However, compared to the gentle gaze he had before, there was now a hint of genuine concern. He was truly concerned about her from the bottom of his heart without any pretense.
She did not understand why she could not tell anyone about what happened today. However, she still nodded her head and kept it in her heart.
After all, she was mute. Who else could she tell? Brother-in-law is really silly. Is he confused because of his concern?
"Be good. Let's go back to the prefecture and eat some delicious food."
"Brother-in-law, you're so nice …" She could tell that Ning Fan was concerned about her. She gently tiptoed and kissed him on the cheek. Her eyes were pure without any desire.
Ning Fan touched the side of his face and shook his head with a smile. In his eyes, Feng Xueyan was like a snowman made of ice and snow. She was as clean as a piece of paper.
Her kiss was just a way for a child to express her joy.
More thoughts emerged in Ning Fan's mind.
Today, when we return to the prefecture, I should first conceal what I have seen and heard and then probe Ju Qing's intentions.
He did not believe that an honest man like Ju Qing would harm his own child. However, the human heart was unpredictable. He had to be cautious.
As for the method to save Feng Xueyan, he still needed to consider it further.
It would be fine if the pills are effective. However, if they are ineffective, Ning Fan would need to think of a solution himself.
Ning Fan cultivated the samsara power. Originally, he could break the eight seals on Feng Xueyan's back.
However, what was strange was that Feng Xueyan's body not only contained the devil blood but also the seals. There was also an obscure 'pseudo samsara power' hidden in her body.
That pseudo samsara power was not as powerful as Ning Fan's true samsara power. However, it could counteract the corrosion of the true samsara power and prevent Ning Fan from breaking the seals.
It was a little difficult to break the eight layers of seals using the Wind Mist Technique.
What Ning Fan found especially troublesome was that even if he could break the seals, he would not dare to help Feng Xueyan take out Mo Luo's blood.
This devil blood should have been planted in Feng Xueyan when she was very young. It was already connected to her life. Once it is taken out, Feng Xueyan's life would be in danger and she would certainly die.
If Feng Xueyan could refine this drop of devil blood on her own, it would be the best solution.
However, Mo Luo's blood was not something that ordinary people could refine. Even the current Ning Fan could not completely refine it, let alone Feng Xueyan who was at the Tenth Level of the Vein Opening Realm …
If she forcefully refines Mo Luo's blood, even if she only refines a trace of it, her body would explode and she would die because her body could not withstand the power of the devil blood.
Perhaps, Ning Fan should first collect the four devil statue slates and gather enough devil scriptures of the 'Ancestral Talisman Blood Refinement Technique' from the devil scriptures on the four slates. Only then would he have a way to deal with Mo Luo's blood.
As for how to save Feng Xueyan, he could only put it aside for the time being …
"Let's go."
He flicked his sleeves and wanted to bring Feng Xueyan away. All of a sudden, his eyes widened and he glanced at the snowy sky in the southeast.
"Who is it?!"
The moment Ning Fan shouted coldly, he pointed a finger at the same time. A ray of sword light pierced through the clouds at lightning speed. It was the Separation Slayer Sword.
Above the clouds, a black shadow suddenly appeared. His face was obscured by the devil mist, making it hard to see him clearly. Only a pair of cloudy eyes could be seen clearly.
At this moment, the black shadow's eyes were filled with a hint of surprise. He had just arrived at this place and was still concealing himself. Obviously, he did not expect that Ning Fan would be able to see through his concealment.
Even though he was surprised, it was just a hint. The black shadow looked at the Separation Slayer Sword with a hint of disdain. He clenched his five fingers and golden light shone brightly around his body.
Judging from the intensity of the golden light, this person was actually a body cultivator at the Second Level of the Golden Body Refining Realm!
However, the qi of this person was extremely strange. It gave Ning Fan an illusion that he was not a living person.
* Boom *
The Separation Slayer Sword was shaken by the black shadow's hand and it immediately flew back to Ning Fan's hand. The sword was still trembling.
As for the black shadow, his finger was also cut by the sword peak when he received the sword with his bare hands. He was greatly surprised. He did not expect that a mere Low Grade Void Treasure could actually cut his finger even though he was too careless.
"A Two Star Divine Weapon, huh … Humph! Your techniques aren't weak. No wonder you could kill Shi Kun. However, you are still too inexperienced. Young man, you are very similar to me when I was young. However, there are some things that you can't interfere with. "
* Whoosh *
The black shadow suddenly threw a ray of black light at Ning Fan's chest. Then, he left right away. However, before he left, he secretly glanced at Feng Xueyan. When he saw that the latter was fine, he felt slightly relieved. His eyes were filled with shame and bitterness.
"Just now, I clearly sensed that Yan Er's seal was acting up. That's why I came to save her. However, I didn't expect that this young man would save her before me …"
The black shadow turned into a ray of travelling light and left. The magic power and aura force that was emitting from the travelling light had already reached the Void Pierce Stage!
The magic power of the Void Pierce Stage and the body refinement realm of the Second Level of the Golden Body Refining Realm. This black shadow was very strong. He was definitely not someone Ning Fan could defeat with his current strength!
Ning Fan did not chase after the black shadow. Instead, he pointed a finger at the black light that was shooting at his chest.
That black light was not a concealed weapon. Instead, it was a black jade slip.
Ning Fan took the jade slip and scanned its contents with his spirit sense. Immediately, his eyes turned solemn and he remained silent.
There was only one sentence in the jade slip.
"I will always be grateful for your kindness in protecting my clan. Do not interfere in Xueyan's matter. You can't withstand the wrath of the Eight Ancestors. "
The ferocious qi in those words gave Ning Fan a faint sense of familiarity. He should have sensed this qi somewhere before.
Ning Fan cleared his thoughts and gradually recalled where he had sensed this qi before.
"The Monument of Slaughter outside the Secret Realm of the Broken World on the Pleasure Devil Immortal Island! The person who ranks first on the Monument of Slaughter is called Ju Yan. He is the previous Venerated Giant, the father of Ju Qing and Feng Xueyan's grandfather! "
"Rumor has it that Ju Yan has already died a long time ago. Why would he appear at this time and place … He doesn't seem to be hostile towards me. Otherwise, I won't be a match for him with his strength unless I use the Stele of Sun and Moon …"
"Ju Yan obviously knows the reason why Feng Xueyan was sealed. Was he the one who murdered her?"
"This person thanked me for protecting the Giant Devil Clan. It naturally means that he is a person who values relationships. He told me not to interfere in Xueyan's matter. It can be regarded as a kind reminder or a warning. He said that I can't withstand the wrath of the 'Eight Ancestors'. Who are they? Could it be that they are the mastermind behind this matter … "
"When Ju Yan mentioned the Eight Ancestors, his tone was respectful. Obviously, they are probably the ancestors of the Giant Devil Clan. No matter who is the mastermind, the one who murdered Feng Xueyan is probably one of us … What is their purpose … "
He could not figure it out!
However, even if he could not figure it out, Ning Fan did not plan to abandon Feng Xueyan. He could only investigate step by step and send Feng Xueyan back first.
Even though he did not know the purpose of the Giant Devil Clan, Feng Xueyan would certainly not be in any danger before the devil blood is fully condensed. It was just like how Ju Yan had come all the way to save Feng Xueyan.
"Grandpa … He is my grandpa … Ah! My head hurts so much …" Feng Xueyan suddenly held her head. She felt a little uncomfortable as she recovered some of her memories that had been erased.
"Don't be afraid. Brother-in-law will bring you home!"
Ning Fan held Feng Xueyan's wrist and secretly injected his magic power into it. His eyes gradually turned cold.
Even though he did not know the purpose of the Giant Devil Clan to harm Feng Xueyan … No matter what, the current Ning Fan looked down on the Giant Devil Clan.
Just like the Six-Winged Clan who abandoned Fen Chi for the safety of their clan.
Just like the Giant Devil Clan who abandoned Feng Xueyan for unknown reasons.
Ning Fan could endure the harm of his enemies and enemies.
However, the harm of his own clan enraged Ning Fan the most.
He had also been harmed by Young Master Ning Tian in the past. Even though he did not have a close relationship with Ning Tian, being betrayed by his own clan had always been a thorn in his heart.
Therefore, he showed some concern and tolerance towards Fen Chi who was also abandoned by the Six-Winged Clan as a chess piece.
Therefore, he also felt pity for Feng Xueyan.
Therefore, he understood the disappointment that Old Devil felt when he was betrayed by his foster son.
* Whoosh *
Ning Fan held Feng Xueyan in his arms and turned into a wisp of smoke, flying all the way back to the Sad Devil Palace.
He secretly hid all of his facial expressions as if nothing had happened.
When everyone saw that Ning Fan could really find their eldest mistress at such a fast speed, all of them were astonished.
When Xu Qiuling saw that Ning Fan had really found Feng Xueyan, her eyes were filled with gratitude. However, she did not say a single word of thanks.
There was no need for her to say thanks to him …
However, at the next moment, she sharply noticed a hint of anger in Ning Fan's eyes.
That anger was hidden very deeply and no one could notice it. However, Xu Qiuling could see it because she knew Ning Fan very well.
"Did something happen?" Xu Qiuling asked gently.
"Don't worry."
Ning Fan comforted her. However, his eyes subtly swept across the elders of the Giant Devil Clan.
The higher-ups of the Giant Devil Clan in the Sad Devil Palace were the clan leader, Ju Qing, the great elder, Fu Bai and ten other elders.
Among the elders, there was only one woman. She was the second elder, Yao Lian.
The second elder of the Giant Devil Clan, Yao Lian, was rumored to be a fickle woman. She had slept with many devil cultivators and cultivated devil cultivation techniques and bewitching techniques. Her appearance was just above average in the cultivation world. However, her skills in bed were really good.
Of course, even though this woman had an unrestrained personality, she was loyal to the Giant Devil Clan. She was never careless when it came to major matters. Even though she had a questionable character, she was not a despicable person.
Other than being a little coquettish, she was quite kind to the members of the clan.
Human nature was complicated. There was nothing that could be done about it.
Ning Fan's eyes turned cold. He cultivated the Mind Reading Technique. If he wants to find out some secrets of the Giant Devil Clan, he naturally had to look for a high-ranking female cultivator. This Yao Lian was a good candidate.
"* Giggle * … Fellow Daoist Zhou seems to be very interested in me … I happen to be free tonight. I wonder if Fellow Daoist wants to come to my boudoir for a drink?"
Yao Lian looked at Ning Fan's handsome face and licked her lips like a beautiful snake.
Ning Fan happened to be the type that she liked. She really wanted to taste the feeling of being assaulted by Ning Fan …
"Yao Lian, if you want to seduce men, don't seduce my harem! This Little Cucumber is mine! "Yue Lingkong's cold and domineering eyes swept across Yao Lian. Immediately, Yao Lian's soul shuddered. She no longer dared to seduce Ning Fan.
Yue Lingkong was a female tyrant. She was the leader of the seven venerated beings of the internal sea in the past. She was stronger than Dong Xu and Ju Qing.
Today, she had broken through to the Void Glimpse Stage and was still unrivalled among Void Glimpse Stage experts. Who among the seven venerated beings of the internal sea would dare to offend her?
With Yue Lingkong's personality, if it wasn't because Ning Fan had some friendly relations with the Giant Devil Clan, she would not be polite to Ju Qing and Dong Xu.
As for Yao Lian, she was a woman who could sleep with any man. She would not allow Ning Fan to sleep with her.
"Even if Little Cucumber wants to accept her, he can't accept such a disgusting person!" Yue Lingkong thought valiantly and refused to admit that she was jealous.
Ning Fan smiled at her ambiguously. He felt that Yue Lingkong's jealous look was very cute.
Ju Qing let out a hollow laugh and dispelled the awkward atmosphere in the Sad Devil Palace. Then, he suddenly asked Ning Fan.
"I've heard from Little Shanzi that Fellow Daoist Zhou seems to be a pill refinement master with a high grade. I wonder if you're interested in participating in the Pill Ceremony this time?"
"Hehe. It would be a pity if I don't participate in such a grand event. Moreover, if I participate in the Pill Ceremony and get into the top three, I will be qualified to accept the mission given by Clan Leader Ju Qing to concoct a life-saving pill for Miss Xue Yan. If I can successfully concoct the pill that Clan Leader needs, not only will I be able to obtain the Void Inquiry Pill as a reward, I can also save Miss Xue Yan's life. It's really a joyous occasion. Clan Leader, do you think I'm right? "Ning Fan asked meaningfully.
"Fellow Daoist is right. If Yan 'er can be cured, it will be a joyous occasion …" Ju Qing's eyes flashed with hope. He really wanted to cure Feng Xueyan from the bottom of his heart.
Ning Fan went silent for a while. Could it be that Ju Qing doesn't know about Feng Xueyan's death? His concern and care for Feng Xueyan is not a pretense.
This made Ning Fan feel relieved. If even Feng Xueyan's father betrays her, how cruel would it be to Feng Xueyan?
If that's the case, I should find a chance to steal some information from Yao Lian.
The Mind Reading Technique is really useful.
"Hehe. Since Fellow Daoist Zhou has the intention to participate in the Pill Ceremony, this old man will give you a good introduction about the entire process of the Pill Ceremony. What do you think?" Dong Xu stroked his beard and nodded with a smile.
"Alright. I'll have to trouble Fellow Daoist Dong Xu to explain it to me."
Honestly speaking, Ning Fan was quite interested in the Pill Ceremony. If it wasn't because of the matter regarding Feng Xueyan, he would be very willing to exchange pointers with countless pill refinement grandmasters.
Pill refinement techniques and the Yin Yang Transformation complemented each other. They were important ways to improve one's cultivation base. Thus, he must not fall behind.
