Countless devil spirits searched every inch of the one hundred thousand mountains but they could not find Ning Fan's whereabouts at all.
The only thing they could be sure of was that Ning Fan had not left the Mist Horn Broken World.
The collapse of the Mist Horn Broken World was planned by Xi Mo. All the spaces in the broken world had already collapsed. Only a few hidden places had void passageways that led to the outside world.
These passageways were only known to the fourteen Void Refinement Realm devil spirits called Qian Gui who had the highest cultivation base among them.
Qian Gui was responsible for destroying the broken world. When he destroyed this small chiliocosm, he secretly left a few passageways that led to the outside world. He did not want to be trapped in this broken world forever after killing Su Yan.
If he had the chance, he still wanted to leave the broken world and get rid of his identity as a devil spirit. He wanted to be a Void Refinement Realm old monster in the outside world and no longer be a slave to anyone.
The fourteen Void Refinement Realm devil spirits were eager to kill Ning Fan to vent their anger. At the same time, they were shocked by Ning Fan's strength that could instantly kill a Void Glimpse Stage expert.
In the process of searching for Ning Fan, even Void Inquiry Stage old monsters did not dare to act alone as they were afraid that they would be killed by Ning Fan who was hiding somewhere.
Unfortunately, Ning Fan's Heaven Deceiving Cloak was too powerful. It was impossible for them to find him.
Ning Fan who was invisible hugged Su Yan and flew towards the Devil Mist Pond.
Of course, the reason why he was heading to the Devil Mist Pond now was not for the pond itself but for the fourth slate that was sealed near it.
Now that they were trapped in the broken world and could not leave for the time being, Ning Fan might as well find the slate first and then look for a way to leave the broken world.
As long as he finds the slate, he would certainly be able to attain the Golden Body Refining Realm. He believed that with the strength of his Golden Body Refining Realm, it would not be a problem for him to kill these devil spirits.
By then, after killing all fourteen Void Refinement Realm devil spirits and searching their souls and memories, he would most likely be able to find a way to leave.
Unfortunately, after arriving at the Devil Mist Pond, Ning Fan spread out his spirit sense but could not find where the slate was hidden. He probably had to ask Su Yan about it.
Su Yan did not know what Ning Fan was thinking. She just thought that Ning Fan was heading to the Devil Mist Pond in a hurry to cut off the connection between their minds.
This made her rather speechless. Currently, millions of devil spirits were searching for her and Ning Fan but Ning Fan still had the leisure to cut off the connection between their minds.
Even though their original purpose of entering the broken world was to cut off the connection between their minds, Su Yan was saved by Ning Fan when she was in despair. Other than feeling sentimental, her thoughts changed a little.
If it was the old Su Yan, she would not have liked to communicate with anyone.
Today, however, she was no longer as repulsive to the telepathic connection between them as before.
Under her guidance, Ning Fan arrived at a gigantic black lake in just half a day's time.
The black lake covered an area of tens of thousands of hectares. It was the Demon Mist Pond that Su Yan had mentioned. Demonic Qi rose from the pond and a black fog covered the sky.
Su Yan needed to borrow the pure and vast Demon Qi in this place to form a contract with the other Demon Spirits as the Patriarch.
However, when they arrived at the Devil Mist Pool, Su Yan discovered to her surprise that the Demon Qi in the Devil Mist Pool had strangely decreased by a third.
Beside the pool, there were traces left behind by a large-scale formation. The traces were still very fresh. When Su Yan looked at the formation, she found it vaguely familiar. It seemed to be an ancient formation that had been lost in the Mist Horn Clan. Its effect was to transfer the Devil Spirit Contract …
Within the formation, Xi Mo's dense qi was left behind.
This formation was most likely set up by Xi Mo. With the help of this formation, Xi Mo transferred the contracts that Su Yan had signed with the other Demon Spirits to him.
However, what Su Yan could not understand was how Xi Mo entered the Mist Horn Broken World. Unless one possessed the Patriarch Token, one would not be able to enter the Mist Horn Broken World.
"How did Xi Mo enter …? The Patriarch Token was clearly in my hands …" Su Yan sighed softly. What was the point of investigating this matter now? What had happened had already happened.
"Is there more than one Patriarch Token in the Mist Horn Clan?" Ning Fan suddenly asked.
"This … When the Patriarch of the Mist Horn Clan takes over the position of the Patriarch, they would go to the ancestral temple and kowtow to the statue of the ancestor to be granted the Patriarch Token. Strictly speaking, every Patriarch has their own Patriarch Token. Normally, the next Patriarch will only be elected when the Patriarch of each generation dies … Once the Patriarch dies, his identity Patriarch Token will automatically be destroyed. In the history of our Mist Horn Clan, only the Patriarch Token of the previous Patriarch is still preserved … He committed some grave mistakes and was stripped of his position as the Patriarch and imprisoned in the clan. Of course, it was just a nominal imprisonment. Other than being forbidden from leaving the clan, he could still obtain cultivation resources that were equivalent to his cultivation base. Once the clan needs his help, he would even make up for his mistakes by performing meritorious deeds. For example, the previous Patriarch personally went to the Six-Winged Clan to participate in the fight for the Six-Winged Slate. His Patriarch Token was not destroyed but he claimed that it had been stolen by someone a thousand years ago … Wait. You mean …?! "
When Su Yan answered Ning Fan's question, she suddenly understood the meaning behind his words.
Ning Fan suspected that Xi Mo had used the Patriarch Token of the previous Patriarch to enter the broken world!
Perhaps it was the Patriarch Token that was stolen by Xi Mo. Or maybe it was given by the previous Patriarch.
In short, Xi Mo already had the intention to betray the clan a thousand years ago … He had gotten his hands on this Patriarch Token and sneaked into the Mist Horn Broken World countless times to set up a huge trap. He had been patiently waiting until he broke through to the Void Inquiry Stage before carrying out his plan of betrayal and killing Su Yan …
"Yes. It must be like that. Otherwise, there's no way to explain why Xi Mo could enter the broken world to set up a trap …"
Su Yan nodded her head. Most of her guesses were close to the truth. However, now that things had come to this stage, what could she do even if she knew the truth?
During their escape, she had taken Ning Fan's medicine to stabilize her injuries and her qi had returned to normal.
At this moment, she was nestling in Ning Fan's arms. Her plump breasts were pressed against Ning Fan's chest. Her soft and tender flesh was rubbing against his clothes. This posture made Su Yan feel uncomfortable.
She left Ning Fan's embrace without leaving a trace and stared at the Devil Mist Pond with a complicated expression.
"Fellow Daoist Zhou, do you think that Su Yan's life is a failure …? This subordinate has been plotting a rebellion since a thousand years ago but Su Yan never found out about it. Moreover, she even caused Fellow Daoist Zhou and me to be trapped in the broken world."
Su Yan did not address herself as a concubine. Instead, she used her maiden name. Unknowingly, she became slightly closer to Ning Fan.
"Do you want me to comfort you?" Ning Fan raised his eyelids and looked at Su Yan with a playful expression.
"I don't want to!" Su Yan's cheeks turned slightly red. She did not dare to hope that Ning Fan would comfort her. After all, she was nobody to Ning Fan …
The atmosphere was a little strange. Su Yan had to change the topic subtly. "We've arrived at the Devil Mist Pond. Has Fellow Daoist Zhou really decided to cut off the spiritual connection with me?"
"Are you reluctant to do so?" Ning Fan teased her again.
"No! I just want to confirm it. If Fellow Daoist Zhou really decides to do so, I will immediately go and set up a grand formation. The secret formation of the Mist Horn Clan and the pure devil qi of the Devil Mist Pond should be enough to erase the spiritual connection between us. "
Su Yan rolled her eyes at Ning Fan grumpily. Her almond-shaped eyes were filled with annoyance and annoyance. Both of them carried an indescribable charm. Her bewitching aura could charm all living beings in the world, causing Ning Fan's heart to tremble.
Su Yan was a mature and beautiful woman. Her words and actions were not as charming as Fen Chi, Wind Maiden, and Tea Maiden. However, Su Yan had a unique charm in her bones. Her eyes were as seductive as an enchantress.
She was really a demoness. If it wasn't because their relationship was still shallow, Ning Fan really wanted to tease her by calling her 'Su Yao'.
Bewitching woman.
"Miss Su, you seem to have misunderstood me. I don't want to cut off the spiritual connection with you. You are my devil concubine. It's very normal for there to be some spiritual connection between a master and a devil concubine."
Ning Fan's words made Su Yan's brows loosen. From the bottom of her heart, she was also a little reluctant to cut off the spiritual connection with Ning Fan.
However, when she heard Ning Fan claiming to be her master, her almond-shaped eyes twitched. She was a little displeased.
"Su Yan is indeed the devil concubine of the Mist Horn Clan. But since when did you become my master? Why don't I know about it? Are you teasing me again? "
"I'm just stating the truth. You will understand in the future. Let's change the topic. The reason why I came to the Devil Mist Pond is actually to obtain the devil statue slate that is sealed nearby. "
"How do you know that the slate of my clan is sealed near the pond?" Su Yan was a little surprised. This was a secret of the Mist Horn Clan. How did Ning Fan know about it?
"I have my own methods. Let's make a deal. You let me have a look at the devil statue slate and I will help you escape from this broken world and kill Xi Mo. What do you think? "
"A deal?" Su Yan remained silent. Even though the devil statue slate was precious, the Mist Horn Clan could not decipher the scripture on it. Thus, it was useless to her.
If she just wanted to let Ning Fan have a look at it, it did not seem like a big deal.
She just needed to take a look at the slate in exchange for his help in getting her out of this broken world. It seemed like she would not lose anything.
"I promise you. However, I won't trouble Fellow Daoist Zhou to deal with the rebellion in my clan. If we can leave this broken world, I, Su Yan, am confident that I can still handle a mere Xi Mo. "
"If Xi Mo, Gui Jiao and the previous clan leader all rebel, can you really handle them? If the entire clan revolts, can you still handle them? "
"… Let's talk about it later. I will bring you to get the slate."
Su Yan fell into silence. If all the Void Refinement Realm experts in her clan join the rebellion, she really would not be able to handle two Void Inquiry Stage experts and one Void Glimpse Stage expert …
However, she did not want to owe Ning Fan too much. She could not bring herself to ask Ning Fan for help …
We'll talk about it later. Who knows if they can leave this broken world …
The stone slab was sealed in a hidden ancient formation. That ancient formation was located one million li * (500m per li) to the west of the Devil Mist Pond. The grade of the formation was quite high. It was set up by an ancient pill master of the Mist Horn Clan.
With Su Yan leading the way and opening the formation, Ning Fan effortlessly stood in front of the slate.
"You saved my life before. Even if you want to take the slate away, I can also help you hide it." Su Yan did not believe that Ning Fan would be satisfied just by looking at the slate.
The devil statue slate was a supreme treasure. No one could decipher its secrets. However, experts at the level of King Lan Ling were already fighting for it.
It was normal for Ning Fan to want to take the slate away.
Su Yan was a person who knew how to repay kindness. If Ning Fan really wants to take the slate away, she was willing to help him hide it.
"I really don't need to take it away." Ning Fan squatted down. He did not remove the seal on the slate. Instead, he placed his palm on the slate through the seal.
His eyes lingered on the devil scripture on the slate. He memorized all the correct characters and the fourth trace of devil qi was also absorbed into the devil marks on his back.
The devil scripture on the fourth slate had completed all the incantations, cultivation routes and secret techniques of the Ancestral Talisman Blood Refinement Technique.
The fourth trace of devil qi resonated with the other three traces of devil qi in Ning Fan's body.
Ning Fan felt as if the devil marks on his back were burning up, burning away all the devil qi in his body.
Each trace of devil qi was the cultivation base of the Devil Dao that Ning Fan had cultivated. How could he simply waste it?
He held Su Yan in his arms and turned into a ray of light that shot into the massive Devil Mist Pond. He gulped down the pure devil qi in the water, replacing the devil qi in his body to burn the devil marks.
Gradually, the burning of the devil marks stopped and everything became quiet.
At the next moment, a terrifying devil might spread out from Ning Fan's body. It rushed out of the Devil Mist Pond and swept across the entire small chiliocosm.
In the sky above where Ning Fan was, the devil mist in the sky dispersed. The sky began to crack unstoppably.
Strange black blood oozed out from the cracks. It was filled with dense devil qi. It was the strange phenomenon of devil blood dyeing the blue sky. It had only appeared when the four devil slates appeared!
This strange phenomenon was triggered by Ning Fan's body. It carried his qi!
Ning Fan knew that his devil marks were close to advancing to the next level. However, he did not expect that gathering four traces of devil qi would trigger the strange phenomenon of devil blood dyeing the blue sky. As soon as the strange phenomenon appeared, wherever Ning Fan went, the sky would split with blood.
Even the Heaven Deceiving Cloak could not conceal the strange phenomenon. Even if he hid in the Yuan Yao World or the Profound Yin World, he would not be able to conceal the strange phenomenon.
Not only that, at this moment, Ning Fan only felt that his blood was burning and his qi was in a mess. He could not even display one-tenth of his strength. It was not the time for him to fight against others at all.
In the Mist Horn Broken World, all the devil spirits saw the strange phenomenon of devil blood dyeing the blue sky. From the qi of the phenomenon, they could tell that it was Ning Fan who triggered it.
All of the experts swarmed towards the Devil Mist Pond. Even if Ning Fan turned invisible and hid himself, they would not be able to find his true body. However, they would know that he was hiding deep at the bottom of the pond.
"Devil blood dyeing the blue sky! Why did you trigger this phenomenon?! What did you do to the devil statue slate? You … "Su Yan had too many questions that she wanted to ask Ning Fan.
However, Ning Fan's devil marks were currently on the verge of advancing to the next level. He was trying his best to suppress the devil qi in his body. Thus, he did not have the time to converse with Su Yan.
In the distance, countless powerful qi that was filled with devil qi were approaching Ning Fan's direction.
Among them, fourteen traces of powerful Void Refinement Realm qi were chasing after Ning Fan in a frenzy. Each of the Void Refinement Realm devil spirits roared furiously and locked onto the Devil Mist Pond with their spirit sense.
"Junior, even though I don't understand how you caused such a shocking phenomenon of the heavens and the earth, with this phenomenon here, I'll still be able to find your location even if you flee to the ends of the world, and I'll know your whereabouts!"
"Big Brother, there's no need to talk nonsense with him. Let's charge at him together and kill him and Su Yan. Then, we will complete General Xi Mo's mission!"
"A mere Half-Step Void Refinement Realm junior dares to provoke us? He's just seeking his own death!"
"Now, he can't even use one-tenth of his strength. It's the best time to kill him!"
"Everyone, pay attention. This young man's speed is extraordinary and his invisibility is heaven-defying. His combat strength is also comparable to a Void Inquiry Stage expert. If we want to capture him, we must first set up barriers that can break his invisibility and slow down his speed. Let's see what other methods he has to resist us by setting up fourteen layers of barriers!"
* Rumble * * Rumble * * Rumble *
The fourteen Void Refinement Realm devil spirits caught up to him very quickly. They tacitly set up fourteen layers of barriers around the Devil Mist Pond, blocking Ning Fan's escape route.
Inside the barriers, Ning Fan's speed was greatly reduced and he could not summon his Heaven Deceiving Cloak.
The fourteen Void Refinement Realm devil spirits looked at Ning Fan whose combat strength had been greatly reduced as his abilities had lost their effectiveness as if they were looking at a dead man.
Tens of thousands of devil spirits surrounded Ning Fan like tidal waves.
"What should we do …?" Su Yan sighed softly. Now that Ning Fan had displayed the phenomenon, his strength was greatly reduced and he was surrounded by the enemies, the odds were against him.
"It doesn't matter. Follow me!"
Ning Fan wrapped his arm around Su Yan's slender waist and glanced at the devil spirits disdainfully. Then, he went into the Yuan Yao World.
He did not hide or run away. He just wanted to advance his devil marks in the Yuan Yao World. Once his devil marks advance to the next level, he would be able to defeat all the devil spirits!
"What?! Why did he run away again?! How is this possible?! "
"No. He didn't run away. Everyone, look. The location of the phenomenon he triggered did not change. He is still hiding here!"
"He didn't conceal himself. He must have hidden in some heavenly dwelling space."
"Damn it. If he hides in a heavenly dwelling space, are we supposed to wait for him outside? Let's destroy his heavenly dwelling space together! "
* Rumble * * Rumble * * Rumble *
The combined attacks of the fourteen Void Refinement Realm old monsters split the water of the Devil Mist Pond into two halves. However, they did not notice that there was a heavenly dwelling at the bottom of the pond that had been destroyed.
Even if Ning Fan really hides in a heavenly dwelling space, he should have been blasted out of it.
Unfortunately, Ning Fan had hidden in a small chiliocosm which was of a higher level than a heavenly dwelling space. The joint attacks of the fourteen old monsters could not blast him out.
"Damn it! He didn't hide in a heavenly dwelling space but a small chiliocosm! He actually has a small chiliocosm with him! "
"I miscalculated! I didn't expect this brat to have a small chiliocosm. If he doesn't come out, we can only continue waiting here. The most despicable thing is that he even brought Su Yan into his small chiliocosm. If we can't enter his small chiliocosm and kill Su Yan, how are we going to report to General Xi Mo?! "
"Shameless! How shameless! Hiding in a small chiliocosm when he can't defeat us is really too shameless! "
Each of the Void Refinement Realm devil spirits began to curse anxiously.
Unfortunately, it seemed like the shameless one was not Ning Fan but these Void Refinement Realm old monsters.
Fourteen Void Refinement Realm devil spirits led ten million troops to besiege a Half-Step Void Refinement Realm cultivator. Was this not considered shameless?
Fourteen Void Refinement Realm devil spirits only dared to attack Ning Fan when his strength was greatly reduced. Was this not considered shameless?
Ten million devil spirits arrived one after another and surrounded the Devil Mist Pond.
The fourteen Void Refinement Realm devil spirits were helpless. They could only wait for Ning Fan to show himself.
Perhaps Ning Fan would hide in the Yuan Yao World for the rest of his life. Perhaps they would never be able to wait for him to come out.
However, they still had to wait. As long as Ning Fan comes out, they were confident that they could make him die a graveless death!
"We will just wait here! Also, inform General Xi Mo that Su Yan is already dead … "Qian Gui ordered.
"What? Are we going to lie to General Xi Mo? Su Yan is obviously not dead yet … "
"What else can we do?! Who wants Su Yan to enter his small chiliocosm? Who can kill her? Don't tell me you want to tell General Xi Mo the truth and let him know that the fifteen of us Void Refinement Realm devil spirits failed to kill two people and even lost one of them? "
"But …"
"Don't worry! We will just wait here. I don't believe that Su Yan and her little lover won't come out for the rest of their lives! "
Qian Gui's eyes turned grim. He ordered his men to build devil cities near the Devil Mist Pond. They were actually going to set up camp here.
This group of old fools is really shameless!
