Hong Yi left with a cold expression. It was unknown what she was thinking. She came and went in a hurry.
Ning Fan stared at the escaping light in Hong Yi's robes that was disappearing into the distance and his eyes were filled with contemplation. Hong Yi's arrival was probably not because she was bored enough to chat with Ning Fan.
"Why did this woman come to the Giant Devil Clan …?"
She should have long known about King Ju Lu's conspiracy. The reason why she came here was probably because she wanted to intervene in the affairs of the Giant Devil Clan and help Feng Xueyan. Or perhaps she was here for the fruit of the Progenitor Tree …
Ning Fan sat tiredly under the withered ancestral tree. His body was aching as if it was being pricked by needles and burned by fire. He could not muster any of his magic power at all.
According to his estimation, even if he borrowed the power of Black Star to heal himself, it would take him at least four months to be in a state of serious injury and unable to mobilize any magical power … This was the price of borrowing Luo You's magical power!
If he didn't have the Starlight Healing Technique, he wouldn't be able to recover from this injury without at least a hundred years …
Inside the Giant Demon Clan, there were countless surviving cultivators cheering. There were also countless cultivators who were filled with grief because their loved ones had died in this battle.
Su Yan, Yue Lingkong, Ming Que and Fen Chi rushed to the foot of the ancestral tree and stood in front of Ning Fan to protect him. Looking at Hong Yi's fleeing light, all of them felt their hearts palpitating.
They did not know who Hong Yi was. All they knew was that Hong Yi's strength was rather terrifying. Moreover, she suddenly appeared and left without staying for too long. She also did not show any hostility towards Ning Fan. Thus, she should be a friend and not an enemy.
"Your injuries are very serious …" Xu Qiuling supported Feng Xueyan and flew to Ning Fan's side. When she noticed Ning Fan's serious injuries, she felt heartbroken.
Feng Xueyan was no longer in danger. She regained consciousness and flew into the sky with Xu Qiuling's help. When she saw the injuries all over Ning Fan's body because of her, she felt a lump in her throat and burst into tears.
"Don't cry, it's just a small injury. Everything has passed … "Ning Fan patted Feng Xueyan's head and comforted her with a gentle smile.
Yes, everything was over. Whether it's the Eight Ancestors of the Giant Devil Clan, the Ghost Eye Clan, or the Lan Ling Sect … none of them will have any designs on you!
...
The impact of the battle with the Giant Devil Clan was too great. The Rain Sovereign was enraged and sent out four experts of the Rain Palace to investigate the matter.
Among the four powerhouses, the first to rush over was actually the Dragon Determining Valley Master — Chu Chang 'an!
Chu Chang 'an's attitude towards Ning Fan was still considered polite. However, he was a little surprised by Ning Fan's speed of growth.
The last time Ning Fan went to the Dragon Extinction Valley, he was still a mere Divine Transformation Realm cultivator. Today, however, he had become a Reckless Devil Realm expert whose strength was comparable to a Void Inquiry Stage expert. Moreover, he even had many terrifying trump cards to protect himself.
In this battle, Ning Fan had exposed too many of his trump cards. He even borrowed Luo You's power to transform into a Revered Devil Lord.
Too many people saw this scene, and the Venerable Devil's aura shook the entire Endless Sea. Unless he kills all the devil cultivators in the Endless Sea to silence them, he would not be able to conceal the aura of the Revered Devil King …
Alright, his trump card was helplessly exposed.
As for Ning Fan's reputation, it instantly spread across the entire Rain World after Chu Chang 'an's investigation!
An ancient devil cultivator, a Sixth Revolution Pill Master with a Void Fragmentation Realm jade slip that could instantly transform into a Void Fragmentation Realm giant that could crush everything …
Ning Fan was not afraid of exposing his trump card.
By exposing the Void Fragmentation Realm jade slip, it seemed like it would only increase the respect and reverence the others had for him.
Even though his identity as an ancient devil was exposed, he did not reveal the grade of his devil blood. Who would know that he was a terrifying ancestral devil with ancestral blood?
The only problem was how to explain the sudden eruption of Void Fragmentation Realm strength …
Ning Fan would not be foolish enough to expose Luo You's existence.
Therefore, when Chu Chang 'an asked Ning Fan how he could instantly erupt with Void Fragmentation Realm strength, Ning Fan's answer was:
"I found an unknown Seventh Revolution Pill in some ancient ruins. After consuming it, one can instantly gain Void Fragmentation Realm strength. There is no other pill like that. "
Chu Chang 'an had also heard of a few types of pills that could allow a cultivator to instantly gain Void Fragmentation Realm strength. Thus, he believed Ning Fan's explanation.
After investigating Ning Fan's trump card, Chu Chang 'an investigated the whole story of the battle against the Giant Devil Clan.
This time, even though there were many casualties among the one hundred plus sects, most of them were killed by King Ju Lu and the ancestral tree. Ning Fan only killed those cultivators who provoked Feng Xueyan in the beginning. He did not need to be responsible for the casualties of the one hundred plus sects.
In the eyes of the world, it was the one hundred plus sects who coerced the Giant Devil Clan because of greed. King Ju Lu, on the other hand, turned the tables and sacrificed countless cultivators. It was basically a dog-eat-dog situation … How many people of the one hundred plus sects died? What does it have to do with Ning Fan?
Moreover, if Ning Fan did not eliminate King Ju Lu, none of the cultivators of the one hundred plus sects would have survived. All of them would have died in King Ju Lu's hands.
Ning Fan did not need to be responsible for the casualties at all. He was innocent and meritorious.
The other three experts of the Rain Palace who were in charge of investigating the matter rushed to the scene. All of them were Void Refinement Realm experts of the Rain Palace. Their investigation results were the same as Chu Chang 'an's. They left one after another to report to the Rain Sovereign.
After Chu Chang 'an and the others left, Ning Fan's life returned to peace.
As he borrowed Luo You's power, the backlash he suffered was too severe. He could not use his magic power for four months.
He could not cultivate, concoct pills, open his storage pouch and enter the Profound Yin World or the Yuan Yao World …
Even his Sea of Consciousness was greatly damaged. He could only use an extremely weak trace of spirit sense.
He stood under the eaves of his house and raised his head to look at the wind and snow of the Cold Northern Country. All of a sudden, he felt a little tired.
Cultivating the Dao is very tiring … I don't know how many more people I have to kill in the future. I don't know when I will die without an intact corpse due to a moment of carelessness.
Ning Fan could not forget the twelve blood myrtles on the ancestral tree. Who would have thought that King Ju Lu would kill twelve Void Refinement Realm experts in a row with the ancestral tree …
"Who could predict the death of tomorrow?"
"Cultivators with great abilities have the Heavenly Sense which allows them to seek fortune and avoid calamity. However, if they just try to avoid and hide, they won't be able to escape the calamity in the end …"
"If I had been a little careless at that time, I might have been killed by King Ju Lu and turned into one of the blood myrtles on the ancestral tree … On the path of cultivation, one must not take even half a wrong step. A single misstep may cause everlasting sorrow. When I look back, a hundred years have passed. "
Ning Fan stretched his hand out of the eaves. Soon, his palm was covered with a thin layer of snowflakes which melted instantly.
Even though the snow here was similar to the snow in Seven Apricot City, they were still different.
Ning Fan's eyes were filled with longing. He missed his home. He wanted to return to Yue Country and his hometown as soon as possible.
Now that there were no more enemies in the Endless Sea, he probably could really leave … However, even if he wants to go back, he should first heal his injuries …
Currently, he was extremely weak and could not use any magic power. His physical body was severely damaged and he was as weak as a mortal.
It had been many years since he experienced such a feeling of weakness …
Ning Fan, who was in an injured state, was extremely weak. He was tightly protected by his women.
There were Void Refinement Realm spiritual puppets guarding outside the courtyard. His women were living in the four corners of the courtyard to protect him at all times.
Unfortunately, with such a tight defense, some people could still come and go as they please.
In his mind, Luo You suddenly teased Ning Fan. "That Void Fragmentation Realm woman is here to look for you again. I really can't tell that my Younger Brother Ning Fan has such great charm."
As soon as Luo You's voice fell, a woman in red robes with a cold expression appeared beside Ning Fan.
Ning Fan smiled bitterly. The amount of spirit sense he could use at the moment was limited. He could not sense anyone approaching him at all.
However, he did not need to look to know who the person beside him was. Other than Hong Yi, who else could it be?
Inside the Black Lightning Tower, Ning Fan found some dark lightning bamboo leaves to help Hong Yi heal her injuries. After some healing, Hong Yi's cultivation base actually recovered to the First Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm! What a terrifying woman!
Hong Yi's arrival naturally alarmed Yue Lingkong and the other women. However, Ning Fan gently waved his hand to indicate that he was fine.
"The women in your family treat you well. With them protecting you, I don't have to worry about your safety."
"Oh? Miss Hong Yi is worried about my safety? "Even though Ning Fan knew that Hong Yi was the thunder sovereign, he did not say it out loud to avoid exposing her identity.
"Of course. You are still useful to me. Of course, I will care about your life and death." Hong Yi said coldly.
"I have promised you that I will help you with a small matter. However, I have yet to ask you what exactly do you need my help with? "Ning Fan asked curiously.
"You don't have to ask too much. Take this item and quickly heal your injuries. Then, we will talk about the important matter. You are too weak now. You are of no use to me at all! " Hong Yi glared at Ning Fan in disdain. Then, she took a step forward and disappeared without a trace. Obviously, she had already left.
Ning Fan shook his head and chuckled. He actually got despised by Thunder Sovereign Bu Zhou.
However, when he lowered his head and saw the items that Hong Yi gave him, his eyes could not help but widen in surprise.
Hong Yi had given him two blood-red jade boxes. The first jade box actually contained a Low Grade Seventh Revolution Life Returning Pill.
The second jade box contained a silver jade token which was emitting a strong lightning power.
"This is … the Thunder Jade Token?" Ning Fan had seen the Dong Xu Realm's Thunder Jade Token before. Thus, he naturally recognized its origin.
The Thunder Jade Token only had one use and that was to enter the Sovereign Tomb.
According to common sense, only cultivators could obtain the Thunder Jade Token by participating in the arena battles held by the Zhou Clan in person.
However, since Ning Fan already knew Hong Yi, why would he need to participate in the arena battles …
According to the agreement between Ning Fan and Hong Yi, Hong Yi would only need his help after many years.
However, since Hong Yi gave the token to Ning Fan at this moment, she probably changed her plan.
As for the fact that the dignified Thunder Sovereign Bu Zhou actually gave Ning Fan a Seventh Revolution Pill to heal his injuries, Ning Fan felt flattered.
Of course, he would not think that Hong Yi was interested in him. Hong Yi was not an ordinary woman.
The fact that Hong Yi would give him such a precious pill could only mean that she valued Ning Fan a lot. Moreover, it was based on the relationship between the two of them.
That was enough.
"With my current condition, it's not suitable for me to consume a Seventh Revolution Pill. After my injuries recover a little, I will consume this pill. I will certainly be able to fully recover in one go. "
"Before that, let me take a look at this jade token first."
Ning Fan carefully studied the Thunder Jade Token and realized that it was not an ordinary jade token. Instead, it was the most precious' Bestowment Jade Token '.
Not only did the Bestowment Jade Token have the same effect as ordinary jade tokens, but it also contained a trace of bestowment magic power that was bestowed by the Thunder Sovereign.
If one refines this power, one's cultivation base would improve significantly.
For example, the seven venerated beings of the internal sea, including Old Ancestor Dong Xu, had obtained the Bestowment Jade Token in the past. The Bestowment Jade Token they obtained contained fifty thousand units of magic power.
As for the one Ning Fan had, it contained one hundred thousand units of magic power. Could it be considered as a special treatment from the Thunder Sovereign?
"The Sovereign Tomb is located in the Zhou Clan of the internal sea. It's an enclosed forbidden area without any entrance. The only way to enter is to place a trace of one's soul on the Thunder Jade Token and send it into the tomb. As long as you have the Thunder Jade Token, you can enter the tomb at will no matter where you are in the Rain World. If you don't have the Thunder Jade Token, you won't be able to enter even if you stand outside the tomb. "
"Currently, my injuries are extremely severe. However, I only need to use a trace of my soul power to send a trace of my soul into the Sovereign Tomb … The matter that Hong Yi wants my help with must be related to the Sovereign Tomb. I can go in and have a look first."
Ning Fan turned around and entered the house. He placed the Seven Revolution Pill Box on the ground and sat on the bed with his legs crossed.
He held the Thunder Jade Token in his hand and closed his eyes, placing a trace of his soul power on the token. Then, he immersed his mind into the token.
All of a sudden, the scenery in front of him changed.
As if it had crossed countless spaces, a trace of Ning Fan's soul mysteriously appeared in the Sovereign Tomb of the Zhou Clan.
The place where he appeared was a horse-herding tribe beyond the Great Wall.
He was dressed in white robes. His appearance was exactly the same as his physical body. However, his cultivation base was only at the pitiful First Level of the Vein Opening Realm.
It was not because of his injuries. Instead, it was because any cultivator who sent a trace of their soul into the Sovereign Tomb for the first time would only have a cultivation base of the First Level of the Vein Opening Realm.
"The true body is very weak … but it's still stronger than my injured and weak body." Ning Fan clenched his fists and looked around.
It was surrounded by grasslands, and the snowy mountains could be seen in the distance. There were many herdsmen around. These herdsmen behaved like mortals, but upon closer inspection, they were actually the undead that lived in the Sovereign Tomb!
The tomb of the Thunder Emperor housed countless departed spirits, living eternally in a state that was neither dead nor alive!
Ning Fan had once obtained a map of the Sovereign Tomb from Old Ancestor Dong Xu. It was said that one-third of the terrain of the Sovereign Tomb was recorded on it.
The Sovereign Tomb was divided into three regions, the Outer Region, the Central Region, and the Divine Region.
Most of the specters living in the Outer Realms were mortals. There were many undead cultivators in the central region, but they were at most at the Soul Formation level.
As for the Divine Domain … there was no lack of Void Refinement Realm undead creatures and even Void Fragmentation Realm undead creatures …
It was said that the spirit of the Thunder Emperor lived in a strange state in the Emperor's Tomb!
Ning Fan already knew that Hong Yi was the thunder sovereign. However, he did not completely believe in what the thunder sovereign said. Perhaps the Undead Thunder Emperor really existed in the God's Domain, or perhaps it was just a rumor to mislead the world …
Ning Fan observed the terrain and fell into deep thought.
If he remembered correctly, the herdsmen's tribe on the snowy mountains in front of him should be the Snow Lotus Tribe in the western region of the Sovereign Tomb.
The Outer Region was extremely vast. In order to travel from the Outer Region to the Central Region, one would have to travel at least hundreds of thousands of li * (500m per li). With Ning Fan's current cultivation base at the First Level of the Vein Opening Realm, it would be a little difficult for him to enter the Central Region …
"Eh? Big Brother, are you an outsider? Why have I never seen you before? " A young lady who was wearing a long robe who was around thirteen to fourteen years old rode a small red horse and stopped in front of Ning Fan. She skillfully held the reins of the horse and smiled at Ning Fan enthusiastically.
The young lady's appearance was not considered beautiful but she was still delicate and pretty. Her bright eyes revealed intelligence and bravery. Her valiant temperament did not lose out to the daughters of some humble families.
"Mm. I just arrived here." Ning Fan nodded his head.
"Oh, so it's Big Brother who is just passing by. Why don't you come to our Snow Lotus Tribe and have a cup of our specialty lotus wine to warm your body?" The young lady got off the horse and invited him enthusiastically.
"Sure." Ning Fan nodded his head. The purpose of him entering the Sovereign Tomb this time was just to look around. He did not have any special purpose. Thus, he would not reject the young lady's invitation.
"I am Xi Lian, the daughter of the Snowy Lotus Tribe's chief. What is Big Brother's name?" The girl smiled sweetly.
"Ning Fan." When Ning Fan uttered these two words that he had not heard for a long time, he felt relieved.
In the past, he had assumed the name of Zhou Ming and Lu Bei. Today, however, he could call himself Ning Fan again!
He already had enough strength to move unhindered in the Rain World using his real name. He didn't need to be afraid of anyone plotting against him. He could only step on the corpses of others!
"Big Brother Ning, you look really good."
Xi Lian scrutinized Ning Fan carefully. She felt that he was the most handsome man she had ever seen in her life. Her cheeks involuntarily blushed and her heart thumped wildly.
She led Ning Fan's horse all the way into the Snow Lotus Tribe. She was as happy as a sparrow.
Very good age, the first awakening of love, the prime of youth …
Outside the Snow Lotus Tribe, there was a tall wooden fence that surrounded the entire tribe. A bonfire was lit in the center, and a few men were standing guard outside the tribe.
When Xi Lian was about to lead Ning Fan into the division, a man suddenly blocked her path.
"Young Mistress, please wait! The clan leader has ordered us to discuss important matters in the tribe today. Unrelated people are not allowed to enter the tribe as they please! "
That man's indifferent gaze swept past Ning Fan with vigilance. Obviously, he was not going to let Ning Fan, a person of unknown origin, into the tribe.
"Big Brother Ning is a guest who is just passing by! Our Snow Lotus Tribe has always been hospitable. Big Brother Ning is my friend. He isn't an unrelated person … "
"His surname is Ning?" The man's indifferent eyes suddenly turned cold. "Among the tens of tribes around my Snow Lotus Tribe, none of them have the Ning Family. Only the Ghost Wolf Tribe has this surname. This person must be a spy of the tribe. Men, take him down! "
The atmosphere instantly became tense. Several burly men who were guarding the gate surrounded Ning Fan.
These burly men were ordinary undead spirits. They did not have any magic power. They only relied on their martial arts to injure others.
Ning Fan's eyes indifferently swept across these burly men. He was not angry at all. Instead, he said with a faint smile. "I'm not a member of the Ghost Wolf Tribe."
Even though he killed people like flies, he would not kill innocent mortals for no reason even if they were just undead spirits.
"Why should we believe you?!" The burly man's expression was still cold but his tone had softened a little.
He had read countless people. From Ning Fan's indifferent eyes, he could faintly tell that this person was not lying.
"Because I'm an outsider." Ning Fan released a trace of magic power aura force. Even though it was only at the First Level of the Vein Opening Realm, it made the few burly men's faces filled with shock.
"Immortal Master! You're actually an immortal master! "
If Ning Fan was an immortal master, of course, it was impossible for him to be a member of the Ghost Wolf Tribe because the tribe only consisted of mortals. How could there be an immortal master among them?
Besides, an immortal master could annihilate the entire Snow Lotus Tribe with just a wave of his hand. Why would he lower himself to disguise as a spy and sneak into the tribe …
"We're sorry for offending you!" The few burly men who were guarding the gate cupped their fists and apologized with respect.
At this moment, none of them dared to offend the white-robed young man in front of them anymore.
This young man had the strength to flatten the Snow Lotus Tribe! (To be continued.)
