"Ning Fan, the painting that Yun Youmu showed you is an imitation. The original painting that he imitates is called the Immemorial Fisherman's Mino Painting. It is one of the four ancient paintings. The Great Dao is hidden in the painting and it is something that countless true immortals dream of obtaining. The reason why Yun Youmu sent people to probe you is because he suspects that you know the whereabouts of the four ancient maps. "
Luo You's reminder sounded in Ning Fan's mind.
Ning Fan's heart was filled with astonishment but he did not show it on his face. The Immemorial Fisherman's Mino Painting? Four ancient diagrams? "
This was the first time he heard of the Archaic Fisherman's Picture. Even though he didn't know what it was, since it could cause so many immortals to desire it, it must be a treasure.
If Yun Youmu suspected that Ning Fan knew the whereabouts of the map, it would make sense for him to send someone to probe Ning Fan.
However, why did Yun Youmu think that Ning Fan might know the whereabouts of this map?
He could not figure it out. However, Ning Fan was certain that he had absolutely nothing to do with this painting. Even if Yun Youmu really wants this painting, there was no need for him to look for him.
Looking at Ning Fan's calm expression from beginning to end, Yun Youmu thought to himself: Could it be that this young man really does not know the whereabouts of the Immemorial Fisherman's Woven Straw Painting?
Yun Youmu had once obtained an imitation of the Primordial Fisherman's Mino from an ancient cultivator's ruin. It also contained the incomplete copies of the Primordial Fishing Line and the Creation Fishing Net.
With these two incomplete techniques, Yun Youmu even managed to comprehend the Dao Line of Life and Death. Moreover, he managed to cultivate some of the Life and Death Qi in his body. His combat strength was no small matter. He could even put up a fight against a cultivator at the Second Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm.
If Yun Youmu's comprehension of the Life and Death Qi improved a little, he would have a high chance of breaking through life and death and ascending to become an Immortal.
Therefore, Yun Youmu placed his attention on the Primordial Fisherman's Mino.
He searched through the ancient ruins and finally found a clue in one of the ancient cultivator ruins.
According to rumors, the founder of the Shedding Orchid Sect had once obtained the Immemorial Fisherman's Mino Painting, but it was lost in the end, and its whereabouts were unknown.
The Shedding Orchid Sect used to be a sect in the Rain World, but it had already fallen countless years ago. Its ruins were in the Immortal Burning Valley.
Yun Youmu entered the Immortal Burning Valley several times, but he did not find any clues about the Immemorial Fisherman's Straw Painting.
During the battle of one hundred sects, Ning Fan had displayed the Mutual Death Technique in the Giant Devil Clan. According to Yun Youmu's investigation, this technique was exactly the technique that the Shedding Orchid Sect had been famous for a period of time.
Yun Youmu naturally suspected that Ning Fan had obtained the Dao inheritance of the Shedding Orchid Sect. He suspected that Ning Fan knew the whereabouts of the Immemorial Fisherman's Woven Cowhide Painting.
However, after several attempts, Yun Youmu could not help but believe that Ning Fan had never heard of the Immemorial Fisherman's Mino before.
Since Ning Fan did not know the whereabouts of the map, there was no need for Yun Youmu to target Ning Fan and become his enemy.
"Marquis White Robe seems to have some complaints against me. But you don't have to worry. I don't have any enmity towards you, only goodwill. Haha, this prince and Old Man Chu are in charge of the Serene Heaven Palace together, and this prince has heard of Marquis White Robe's fame from Old Man Chu more than once. Now that I've seen it for myself, it's really extraordinary. With Marquis White Robe's innate talent, I'm afraid it's highly possible for him to break through to the Void Fragmentation Realm in the future. "Yun Youmu narrowed his eyes with a faint smile.
"Is that so …?" Ning Fan did not comment on Yun Youmu's words.
Yun Youmu seemed easy-going on the surface but he was cold and cruel on the inside. From how he casually killed King Jin and cut off Fang Si's arm, Ning Fan could tell that he was a ruthless and cold-blooded person.
Among the seven princes of the Rain Palace, the eldest prince, Yun Tianjue, guarded the Great Heaven Palace. People called him the White-Robed Sword God but he was not the biological son of the Rain Sovereign.
The second prince, Yun Xiaoxiang, guarded the Vast Heaven Palace and called himself the Imperial Cloud Prince.
The third prince, Yun Bushu, guarded the Profound Heaven Palace and called himself the Idle Cloud Prince. He was the only prince who had a friendly relationship with Yun Tianjue. Just like Yun Tianjue, he was not the biological son of the Rain Sovereign.
The fourth prince used to guard the Yang Heaven Palace. However, he was killed by Yun Tianjue with a single sword strike in the end. Since then, the Yang Heaven had no master.
The fifth prince guarded the Vermillion Heaven Palace. His name was Yun Zhongyan and he called himself the Flaming Cloud Prince.
The sixth prince, Yun Youmu, called himself the Poison Cloud Prince and guarded the Serene Heaven Palace together with Chu Chang 'an.
The seventh prince, Yun Jinghong, called himself the Rainbow Cloud Prince. He guarded the Scarlet Heaven Palace that Ning Fan was in.
Other than the seven great palaces that were guarded by the seven princes, the remaining two great palaces, the Completion Heaven Palace and the Changing Heaven Palace, were guarded by Yun Daoku and the other two 'four great Void Fragmentation Realm' experts.
The Rain Sovereign, the seventh prince and the four great Void Fragmentation Realm experts … They were the strongest combat power in the Rain Immortal World.
Ning Fan's thoughts raced. Yun Youmu's cultivation base might not be the highest among the princes. However, just based on the Life and Death Qi in his body alone, he was definitely a dangerous person.
Fang Si's black fishing line technique was definitely taught to him by Yun Youmu. Since Fang Si was already so powerful, Yun Youmu must be even more terrifying.
"I have not been strict enough with my subordinates. I have actually offended Marquis White Robe. I'm willing to give Marquis White Robe some compensation …" Yun Youmu paused for a moment and waved his hand to take out an exquisite storage pouch. He then passed it to Ning Fan and said with a smile.
"I'll give these little toys to Marquis White Robe as a little compensation for me. Farewell! "
Yun Youmu narrowed his eyes and flicked his sleeve. A vast magic power swept up Fang Sheng and Fang Si, and they vanished without a trace as they swaggered off.
"Phew. That terrifying fellow has finally left." Zhi He patted her chest. She was very worried that Yun Youmu would hurt Ning Fan. Seeing that Yun Youmu had left, she naturally heaved a sigh of relief.
The entire Lin Shui City was dead silent. No one dared to speak casually. Only the sounds of saliva being swallowed could be heard.
The city lord of Yue Country's Seven Apricot City was actually Marquis White Robe who was famous in the Rain World … With Ning Fan around, who would dare to provoke Yue Country in the future?!
Even the vice palace lord of the Serene Heaven Palace was defeated by Ning Fan. Even the sect master of the Martial Sect was scared away by Ning Fan. Even the Sixth Prince of the Rain Palace had to smile at Ning Fan …
This was the aura of Marquis White Robe!
Now that King Jin was dead, Great Jin was destined to be doomed. Tianji Laoren even knelt on the ground. His old face was filled with fear.
He had plotted against Ning Fan in the past. He still did not know what kind of consequences he would face …
On the seats of Wu Country, the three Gold Core Realm old ancestors of the Ning Family of Hai Ning looked at Ning Fan in disbelief.
Many years ago, the three ancestors of the Ning Family had the same dream at the same time. In the dream, a mortal young man named Ning Fan had crushed the earth vein of Hai Ning with a single step.
After having the strange dream that year, the three ancestors of the Ning Family had investigated everywhere but they could not find any information about the young man in the dream. Gradually, they forgot about the strange dream.
Today, the three ancestors of the Ning Family finally knew that the young man in the dream that year was actually Marquis White Robe who was famous in the Rain World!
"Impossible! Even though my Ning Family isn't a benevolent family, we have never done any evil deeds. Why would we provoke such a terrifying person?! "
'Young Master Tian', Ning Tian, was the person with the highest innate potential in the Ning Family. After being nurtured meticulously by the Ning Family, he had already become a Mid Harmonious Spirit Realm cultivator after just over forty years.
Looking at Ning Fan's unreachable back, he felt a bone-chilling coldness.
He recognized Ning Fan. He recognized that this person was a mortal whom he had bullied in the past … He was the one who sold Ning Fan to the All Pleasure Sect!
"The mortal young man whom I bullied in the past has actually become a Void Refinement Realm old monster! I'm dead meat. I'm dead meat! "
'Miss Qing', Ning Qingqing, sighed continuously. She was also a talented descendant of the Ning Family. Now, she was already a Late Harmonious Spirit Realm female cultivator.
She owed Ning Fan a favor of saving her life. In the past, when she was bathing in the pond of Ning Bi Mountain, she was almost defiled by a group of villains. If it wasn't for Ning Fan who shouted and reminded her, she would certainly not be able to escape from the calamity.
She was saved but Ning Fan offended the villains because of that and got himself in trouble …
In the past, she did not know that Ning Fan was her benefactor. She also did not know that Ning Tian had sold him to Wu Country.
When she accidentally saved Ning Fan from Ning Tian, she did not even know that the mortal young man was her benefactor.
When she found out the truth, she could no longer find Ning Fan and could not repay his kindness in the past.
When she finally found Ning Fan, he had already gotten rid of his mortal body. Moreover, he stood proudly at the peak of the Rain World in a way that she could never imagine. He was so strong that she could only look up to him …
"Ning Fan … I no longer have the chance to repay your kindness in this life, am I right …?" She smiled bitterly. Now that Ning Fan had become Marquis White Robe, why would he need a Harmonious Spirit Realm junior to repay his kindness?
Back then, she was the Heaven and he was the Earth … Now, she was the Earth and he was the Heaven …
Ning Fan landed on the jade platform that was floating in the air. His eyes scanned across the surroundings. His gaze swept past Tianji Laoren and the Ning Clan of Hai Ning. All of a sudden, he felt a little dispirited.
Old Man Tianji and Ning Tian had a grudge against him, so they had to die.
However, the Ning Family of Haining and the cultivators of the Wu Kingdom were not guilty.
The enmity of the past had already faded, and he did not want to kill more people in Wu Country. Now, looking back on the mortal world, he had once left his footprints in the mountains and rivers of Wu Country. The Ning family of Haining had adopted him as an orphan and raised him up …
He was not in a hurry to look at the storage bag Yun Youmu had given him. Instead, he slowly walked over to the Elder of Heavenly Secrets and coldly said, "Kill yourself."
"No, no! I know I was wrong. I was muddle-headed back then, that's why I sold senior's information to Tiandao Sect. I know I was wrong! Senior, please give me a chance and spare my life! I don't want to die. I don't want to die! "
"If you don't want to kill yourself, then I will send you off …"
Ning Fan's expression was cold. He pointed a finger at Old Man Tianji's forehead. Old Man Tianji's body shuddered and his expression froze forever. His nascent soul was crushed and his corpse fell limply to the ground.
"I'm not a kind person. I will definitely take revenge if I have a grudge and return kindness if I have one. That's all. You made a huge mistake in the past and caused the death of countless cultivators of Yue Country. You even nearly killed Zhihe … Now that I'm going to kill you, this grudge can go back to ashes and dust to dust … "
Ning Fan did not even look at Old Man Tianji's corpse. His coldness made countless cultivators tremble.
He slowly walked towards the seats of Wu Country and the Ning Family of Haining. Every step he took made the cultivators of Wu Country extremely nervous. The Third Ancestor of the Ning Family was even more terrified.
"Is Marquis White Robe trying to destroy my Ning Family?! Are we going to die?!!! "The Third Ancestor did not even have the courage to run away.
"Ning Fan! Spare me! I was muddle-headed in the past and that's why I harmed you. I was muddle-headed in the past! "Ning Tian suddenly rushed out of the seats of the Ning Family and knelt down in front of Ning Fan. He kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.
Countless cultivators of the Ning Family were stunned.
It turned out that Ning Tian was the one who provoked Ning Fan. It turned out that Ning Tian was the one who caused a huge disaster for the Ning Family!
Ning Fan's expression was still cold. He slowly uttered a few words. "Ning Tian, you made a huge mistake to me and Ning Gu in the past. You must pay with your life. It's impossible for me to spare you."
"Since you won't spare me, I will fight you to the death!" Ning Tian's eyes suddenly flashed with madness. He shot out a mid-grade flying sword from his long sleeve and pierced it at Ning Fan's dantian.
Ning Fan did not even look at that mid-grade flying sword. When it was three inches away from Ning Fan's body, it was directly burned into ashes by Ning Fan's vast magic power.
Even if the current Ning Fan stands still, Ning Tian would definitely not be able to hurt him … This was the difference between their cultivation bases!
"Impossible! I don't believe it! Forty years ago, you were just a mortal. How could you become so strong? I don't believe it! I, Ning Tian, am the favored child of Heaven. Who do you think you are? Why does Heaven favor you so much?! Ah! "
Ning Fan did not give Ning Tian the chance to continue shouting. With a point of his index finger, Ning Tian turned into ashes and disappeared …
With that, the grudges of Wu Country were settled. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust …
"Are you the three ancestors of the Ning Family?" Ning Fan's tone was extremely indifferent as he looked at Hai Ning's seat.
"Yes. W-We are the three ancestors of the Ning Family." The three ancestors of the Ning Family were horrified. They immediately cupped their fists and bowed to Ning Fan while trembling. They did not know how Ning Fan would deal with the Ning Family after killing Ning Tian.
"Is Ning Daniu dead …?" Ning Fan suddenly asked an irrelevant question.
"Erm … W-Who is Ning Daniu? I don't know him … "The three ancestors of the Ning Family trembled even harder. They did not know if they would anger Ning Fan if they did not give Ning Fan a satisfactory answer.
"He's dead. Your adoptive father is already dead. He died at the end of his lifespan." Suddenly, a lady in green robes walked out from the seats of the Ning Family. It was Ning Qingqing.
"Is he also dead …?" Ning Fan closed his eyes and felt a little disappointed.
Ning Daniu was a mortal. He was one of the slaves adopted by the Ning Family of Hai Ning. He was the adoptive father of Ning Fan and Ning Gu.
Ning Daniu did not treat Ning Fan well and treated him harshly. However, he did raise Ning Fan …
Ning Fan more or less felt a little disappointed now that he was dead.
He looked at the lady in green robes in front of him and felt a little surprised.
Ning Daniu was just a lowly mortal servant in the Ning Family of Hai Ning. The cultivators of the Ning Family should not pay attention to a mortal.
Even though he had asked the three ancestors of the Ning Family about this, he had never expected any answer.
He did not expect that this lady in green robes could actually answer his question.
"So it's you … Miss Qing …?" Ning Fan flipped through his memories and gradually remembered who this lady in green robes was.
That year, he was just a mortal young man who went to the Ning Bi Peak to gather herbs.
That year, he saw a young lady in green robes in trouble. He called out to help her and led a group of villains away.
That year, he offended Young Master Tian of the Ning Family and got himself killed. When he was in danger, it was that young lady in green robes who saved him.
The grudges of the past replayed in his mind. He suddenly felt a little tired.
"Y-You want to destroy the Ning Family … Ning Fan …?" Ning Qingqing bit her lips and asked.
"The one who betrayed me is Ning Tian alone. It has nothing to do with the Ning Family. Besides, I have promised a friend in the Demon Sinister Forest that I will help her take care of the Ning Family. I won't destroy Hai Ning … You can rest assured about this. "
Ning Fan turned around and left Hai Ning's seat, returning to the floating jade platform.
His eyes were indifferent. Hundreds of thousands of cultivators lowered their heads, not daring to look him in the eye.
"The King of Jin is already dead. Great Jin will no longer merge with other countries. The one who will be merging will be my Yue Country. I hereby announce that from today onwards, the territories of the eleven countries present here will all be merged into my Yue Country! "
"My cultivation base is at the Void Refinement Realm. With my presence, Yue Country can be upgraded to a Void Grade Cultivation Country at any time. As long as those who pledge allegiance to Yue Country don't have the intention to betray me, I won't let them down. If they have other thoughts, don't blame me for being merciless! "
Ning Fan did not have the intention to negotiate with the eleven countries. His words were orders. He believed that none of the cultivation countries would dare to disobey his orders.
After annexing all the countries, the territory of Yue Country would expand by a hundred times. Ning Fan was determined to expand his force within Yue Country.
He wanted to build a great force that could protect Yue Country and resist the Rain Palace!
The reason why he wanted to build this force was not to conquer the world but to protect the beautiful figures of those women.
Only then could he step into the sea of blood of cultivation alone without any worries!
He would never give anyone the chance to gather the forces of over one hundred sects to coerce his friends and family.
"If I have time in the future, I will go back to the Ning Family in Hai Ning to have a look. I also miss the mountains and rivers there. "Ning Fan said indifferently to Hai Ning's seat. Then, he turned around and returned to the seats of the cultivators of Yue Country.
"Let's go home." He smiled gently at Zhi He and the other women.
"Mm."
...
Ten days later, a piece of shocking news spread across the southeastern continent of the Rain World.
Yue Country had annexed eleven cultivation countries including Great Jin and officially upgraded to a Void Grade Cultivation Country, becoming the nineteenth Void Grade Cultivation Country in the Rain World!
The person who was in charge of Yue Country … was the lord of Seven Apricot City – Marquis White Robe, Ning Fan!
The situation in the southeastern continent of the Rain World instantly changed because of the strong rise of Yue Country! (To be continued.)
