Ancestor Wei Feng had only come to deliver something on behalf of the Bai Li Clan. He had no idea that the item he was delivering was a battle invitation.
As soon as Ancestor Wei Feng heard that the item in the jade box was actually a duel invitation from the Bai Li Clan, he revealed a look of surprise and hurriedly explained, "Please don't misunderstand, Fellow Daoist. This old man has some friendship with the Bai Li Clan. That's why I sent the jade box to them. I didn't know that there was a duel invitation in it …"
He cursed the entire Bai Li Tribe in his heart, thinking that the Bai Li Tribe was cheating him.
In the Tree Realm, war invitations were usually only given to enemies who were irreconcilable enemies. Once the letter of challenge was issued, life and death would be decided!
Since the Bai Li Clan had issued a battle invitation to Ning Fan, they naturally harbored the intention to kill him. Moreover, they did not even try to conceal it …
If your Bai Li Tribe wants to deal with someone, then why did you send Wei Feng to deliver the challenge? If Ning Fan becomes displeased with this invitation, he, Wei Feng, would directly become the scapegoat of the Bai Li Clan and would have to bear Ning Fan's wrath …
If Old Ancestor Wei Feng didn't know Ning Fan's true strength in the past, he wouldn't be afraid of him.
However, on this night, Old Ancestor Wei Feng witnessed Ning Fan annihilating the cultivators of the four clans with his own eyes! That terrifying Butterfly Flame caused Old Ancestor Wei Feng's heart to palpitate as a chill seeped into his bones …
The combat power that Ning Fan displayed was much stronger than an ordinary Primordial Returning Void Stage expert!
After knowing Ning Fan's true strength, Old Ancestor Wei Feng would never dare to offend him!
He hurriedly explained, trying his best to draw a clear line between himself and the Bai Li Clan. He did not want Ning Fan to hate him along with the Bai Li Clan.
Seeing that Wei Feng did not seem to know anything about the duel invitation, Ning Fan asked him a few more questions. All of them were related to the Bai Li Clan.
In order to express his goodwill to Ning Fan, Wei Feng naturally told him everything he knew.
After some discussion, Ning Fan waved his hand, signaling Wei Feng to leave.
Wei Feng was the Great Void Patriarch after all. Who would dare to order him around on a normal day?
Now that Ning Fan asked him to leave, he immediately cupped his fists and bade farewell as if he had just been pardoned. He was unwilling to stay any longer in this troublesome place.
After Wei Feng left, Ning Fan stared at the battle invitation in his hand with a gloomy expression.
"Bai Li Clan, what is the meaning of this …?"
There was only one word in the letter. It was the word 'Die' written in blood ink. It contained boundless killing intent, as if it would not stop until it killed Ning Fan!
This letter of challenge was personally issued by the Bai Li Tribe Leader!
Since the Bai Li Clan sent this invitation, it seemed like they wanted to openly tell him that they wanted to kill him!
From the looks of it, the Bai Li Clan was extremely arrogant. They wanted to kill someone and they even told that person that they were going to kill that person without concealing their killing intent …
Ning Fan knitted his brows. Is the Bai Li Clan really just trying to show off by sending someone to deliver the letter of challenge …?
Or could it be that this letter of challenge was a warning to Ning Fan not to help the Fusang Clan compete for the position of the Eighth Elder?
There must be a reason for the Bai Li Clan to harbor killing intent against him.
He had never interacted with the Bai Li Tribe, so he could only think of two reasons why the Bai Li Tribe hated him.
Firstly, the Bai Li Clan had somehow found out that Old Demon Fusang had been looking for him …
Secondly, it was possible that Old Demon Fusang purposely spread the news to make the Bai Li Clan view him as an enemy, forcing him to accept the recommendation to participate in the election of the Eighth Elder.
Secondly, the Bai Li Clan and the Ming Luo Clan had an old grudge against each other. When they found out about the relationship between him and the Ming Luo Clan, they wanted to kill him.
Both of these reasons made sense, but there was still something suspicious about the matter of the Bai Li Clan purposely sending the letter of challenge …
"Why did the Bai Li Clan ask the Wei Zi Clan to send me a letter of challenge? It seems like they are hinting at something."
"The Bai Li Clan is the strongest person below the Void Fragmentation Realm in the Eastern Tree Sea … I asked Wei Feng about his personality. According to him, he is cold-blooded. If he hates someone, he will never show mercy and kill without hesitation … Moreover, he is a decisive person and never has the habit of sending a letter of challenge in advance. He isn't an arrogant and brainless person … If he wants to kill me, he wouldn't send a letter of challenge on purpose.
Ning Fan kept the letter of challenge and the jade box with a solemn expression.
"Perhaps the Bai Li Clan Leader sent me a letter of challenge on a whim and the reason he wants to kill me could be one of the two reasons …"
"Perhaps, there's more to this matter …"
"No matter what, since the Bai Li Clan has sent the letter of challenge, it will be difficult for me to avoid the battle between me and them."
"I have to go to the Bamboo Hall eventually. At that time, I will certainly have to fight the Bai Li Clan!"
"Before I fight the Bai Li Clan, my spiritual puppets must be repaired and my cultivation base must be improved to be safe!"
If an ordinary cultivator received a letter of challenge all of a sudden, they would either be fearful or angry.
Ning Fan, however, thought about it a little more. He could sense the strange qi that this matter was giving off and became vigilant.
He temporarily put the matter of the Bai Li Clan behind him. He patted his storage pouch and took out thirty gigantic ships. All of them were the treasures that he had obtained from killing people in the past.
"Members of the Ming Luo Clan, listen to my command. Follow me to fight Han Cang and annihilate the four clans!"
Ning Fan was going to lead the three hundred and twenty thousand members of the Ming Luo Clan to annihilate the four clans, including the Snow Pine Clan!
At the same time, he was going to plunder all the resources that the four clans had accumulated for countless years and use the resources of the four great Great Void forces for him to improve his cultivation base alone!
As soon as they heard Ning Fan's command, countless members of the Ming Luo Clan felt their blood boiling. They turned into rays of light and flew to the ships!
They had been bullied and humiliated for a long time. Even though they did not resist, it did not mean that they did not hate them.
In the past, when the Snow Pine Clan invaded the country, they killed Mother Qing Dai who was still the high priest and countless members of the Ming Luo Clan.
The members of the Ming Luo Clan had never forgotten this grudge!
Now that the Ming Luo Clan had Ning Fan's support, who in the entire Azure Cold Country would dare to offend the Ming Luo Clan?!
The thirty ships that carried the three hundred and twenty thousand members of the Ming Luo Clan left during the night and returned the next day!
When everyone returned, the Snow Pine Clan, the Lei Bai Clan, the Stone Tree Clan and the Divine Qiao Clan were completely annihilated!
The news spread in the Azure Cold Country overnight. The entire country fell into a state of panic!
Lu Bei who was being chased by the Vine Sovereign was actually protecting the Ming Luo Clan in the Azure Cold Country!
The four great Great Void Void forces that intended to massacre the Ming Luo Clan were annihilated by Lu Bei alone in a single night!
Thirty Void Refinement Realm cultivators from the four clans including six Great Void Void Stage cultivators had all died in Lu Bei's hands!
Countless forces spread the news to each other with deep fear.
"Quickly inform all the cultivators of the clan. Right now, the situation is very tense. If there is no need, do not leave the clan! Even if you have to leave the clan, you must never provoke the Ming Luo Clan! "
"The Ming Luo Clan … is no longer a second-rate tree clan that can be bullied by anyone!"
...
The four clans of the Snow Pine Clan were the ancient tree clans of the Azure Cold Country. Their foundation was unfathomable.
After destroying the lairs of the four clans, the spoils of war that Ning Fan obtained were extremely shocking.
Heavenly ingredients and earthly treasures, pills, cultivation methods, secret techniques and spiritual puppets were all there!
There were six Void Glimpse Stage spiritual puppets and three Void Inquiry Stage spiritual puppets. Ning Fan gave all of them to Qing Dai to protect the Ming Luo Clan.
To him, most of the low-grade items were already useless. Thus, he left them all for the Ming Luo Clan.
He took away 220 billion immortal jade, 12000 Dao Crystals, 9 Void Refinement Realm Dao Fruits, 1 Void Fragmentation Realm Dao Fruit and 42 types of Sixth Revolution Pill recipes that were unique to the Tree World.
All the pills that could improve the magic power of the Void Inquiry Stage and the Golden Body as well as spiritual herbs that were fifty thousand years and above were also taken away by Ning Fan.
Each of the Mid Grade Sixth Revolution Serene Grass Pill could increase a Void Inquiry Stage cultivator's magic power by 2000 units. There were a total of 20 bottles with 10 pills in each bottle.
The High Grade Sixth Revolution Divine Bamboo Pill could increase a Void Pierce Stage cultivator's magic power by ten thousand units. There were a total of 12 bottles with 10 pills in each bottle!
The High Grade Sixth Revolution Azure Bone Pill could greatly improve a Third Level Golden Body Refinement Realm body cultivator's cultivation base. There were a total of 5 bottles with 10 pills in each bottle!
A Barbaric Dragon Tree and 9 Barbaric Dragon Fruits!
This Barbaric Dragon Tree was the greatest treasure of the Snow Pine Clan. This tree blooms once every five hundred years and bears fruit once every five hundred years. Each time, it could bear 12 Barbaric Dragon Fruits.
Each of the Barbaric Dragon Fruits could greatly improve a body refinement realm body cultivator's cultivation base at the Golden Body Refinement Realm.
According to Ning Fan's estimation, devouring a Barbaric Dragon Fruit could increase one hundred thousand units of essence qi at least!
If he were to recklessly waste this precious treasure, devouring the entire Barbaric Dragon Tree could directly increase his essence qi by one million units!
The last time the Barbaric Dragon Tree bore fruit was about a hundred years ago. There were still nine hundred years before the next time it bore fruit.
Ning Fan did not have time to wait for the tree to bear fruit again. He had already decided to refine this tree along with its roots!
According to his estimation, with the resources of the four Great Void forces, it was more than enough for him to break through to the Void Pierce Stage and Late Reckless Devil Realm.
As for breaking through to the Absolute Void Realm, he still lacked a lot of magic power. Thus, he decided not to think about it for the time being.
This time, he had established his prestige in the Azure Cold Country. Presumably, no one in the country would dare to offend the Underworld Luo Clan anymore.
He had already decided to go to the Bamboo Palace and find the Ancestral Tree Fruit to break through to the First Grade Divine Intent.
However, before he leaves, he needed to repair his spiritual puppets and break through to the Void Pierce Stage.
Time flew by. Half a month had passed.
Ning Fan entered the Yuan Yao World alone and sat inside the dark golden pagoda. He used immortal jade, spiritual ores and spiritual materials to make Mortal Void Realm formation discs in preparation for his tribulation.
As for Qing Dai, after she had settled the miscellaneous affairs of the Underworld Luo Clan, she quietly left Si Luo City to search for the last twelve types of materials to repair his spiritual puppets for Ning Fan.
She wanted to look for her master who was hiding in the Si Luo Bamboo Sea.
Ning Fan did not monitor Qing Dai nor did he plan to pry into her master's secrets.
Half a month in the outside world was equivalent to five years in the seventh floor of the pagoda.
During these five years, Ning Fan had spent more than two hundred billion immortal jade to make five hundred Mortal Void Realm formation discs!
Among them, nearly one hundred formation discs were the High Grade Mortal Void Realm formation discs which could withstand the lightning tribulation – Heavenly Fire Lightning Defense Formation.
There were also nearly one hundred formation discs which were the High Grade Mortal Void Realm formation discs which could withstand the fire tribulation – Profound Ice Fire Defense Formation.
The remaining three hundred formation discs were the Peak Mortal Void Realm formation discs which could withstand the wind tribulation – Divine Dipper Wind Destruction Formation.
The heavenly tribulations below the Void Fragmentation Realm were divided into three forms – lightning tribulation, fire tribulation and wind tribulation.
Ning Fan possessed the Stele of Sun and Moon and had condensed the Tai Su Lightning Star. Thus, he was not afraid of the lightning tribulation and fire tribulation.
As for the wind tribulation, it was the most powerless.
The Yin Wind Tribulation that the Pill Sovereign summoned the other day made Ning Fan personally experience how terrifying the Yin Wind Tribulation was.
He strongly suspected that the heavenly tribulation that would befall him this time would be the Yin Wind Tribulation. Therefore, most of the formation discs were set up to defend against the Yin Wind Tribulation.
Other than that, he had also spent a lot of time to forge a magic treasure which could withstand the tribulation – One Stripe Wind Calming Bead!
The materials used to forge the Wind Calming Bead were obtained from the lairs of the four great forces of the Great Void Realm.
The Wind Calming Bead was a kind of magic treasure that could only be used once. Its materials were very rare and precious. It was greatly helpful in resisting the Yin Wind Tribulation and was sought after by many Void Fragmentation old monsters.
The lowest Air-frozen Bead had one pattern and the highest had nine patterns. The One Stripe Wind Stabilizing Pearl could greatly offset the Yin Wind Tribulation of a cultivator at the First Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm. It was worth more than fifty billion.
A Two-striped Wind Calming Bead was extremely rare. Even Ning Fan couldn't find the materials to refine it.
It was said that in the Earth Immortal Realm of the Nine Realms, a Three Stripe Air-frozen Bead had been auctioned off, causing countless old monsters to fight over it.
In the end, the Three Stripes Frozen Wind Pearl was bought by a Void Fragmentation Realm expert of the Mountain World for 310 billion immortal jade.
As a result, the moment that Void Fragmentation Realm expert of the Mountain World left the auction house, he was besieged and killed by a few Void Fragmentation Realm experts. His Three Stripes Wind Stabilizing Bead was then taken away …
Ning Fan took a deep breath. In order to transcend the tribulation this time, he had made thorough preparations.
Even if he really encountered the Yin Wind Tribulation, he was confident that he could survive it!
All he needed to do now was to wait for Qing Dai to bring back the materials to repair the two Void Fragmentation Realm spiritual puppets!
Ring ring ring …
In the storage bag, a light green sound transmission tablet emitted a clear sound.
It was a common type of sound transmission magical treasure in the Tree World.
Ning Fan took out the sound transmission tablet and made a few hand seals. Immediately, Qing Dai's mellow voice sounded like pearls falling on a jade plate.
"Big Brother Lu, I have found the last twelve types of materials for the spiritual puppets … But … But …"
"But what?" Ning Fan asked with a smile.
"But I have hidden one thing from you … Actually, I have a master. These materials were all given to me by my master. That … That … "
On the other end of the sound transmission tablet, Qing Dai's voice was hesitant like a child who had done something wrong.
"That … My master wants to meet you. She said that she wants to ask you for a favor. If you can help her complete this task, she will give you a great opportunity …"
"Oh? Your master wants to meet me? Fine, I also want to see what kind of expert is able to teach such an outstanding puppet master like you. "
Ning Fan kept the sound transmission tablet and kept all the formation discs into his storage pouch. With a flash, he left the Yuan Yao World.
In the outside world, outside Si Luo City, Qing Dai had just kept the sound transmission tablet. At the next moment, a breeze brushed past her and Ning Fan's white-robed figure appeared.
"Let's go. Take me to see your master." (To be continued.)
