Ning Fan's eyes turned cold. He grabbed Ouyang Nuan and took half a step back, staring at the Ghost Face Pavilion Master with extreme vigilance.
The Ghost Face Pavilion Master had a shocking cultivation level and was only one step away from the Crossing Reality State.
This person was smiling. Why was he smiling?
Why did this person make a sound of surprise? Could it be that he had discovered the Elder Token on him?!
Before he entered the Immortal Soul Planet, he had already placed the elder token of the Slaughter Palace in the Profound Yin World.
Logically speaking, even an Immortal Emperor might not be able to detect the existence of an Elder Token through an Emperor Artifact.
However, there were always exceptions. Ning Fan was not sure whether the Immortal Realm experts of the Slaughter Palace had a secret technique that allowed them to sense the presence of the Elder's Order.
After the incident of Wei Qi's betrayal, Ning Fan became more cautious than before.
If the Ghost Face Pavilion Master really discovered his Elder Token and wanted to attack him, he would immediately use the Black Devil Escape Art to escape from this place and set up a corner of the Ancient Chaos Grand Monarch's Ultimate Killing Rune in space to fight with him!
The air in the Slaughter Pavilion seemed to freeze in an instant.
Ouyang Nuan was also a little nervous. She had heard that the Slaughter Pavilion Master was the most temperamental person in this place. He was usually as cold as ice and never smiled. But once he smiled, he would definitely kill someone …
Did this Ghost Face Pavilion Master want to kill Ning Fan? Why!
She wasn't afraid of death, but she didn't want Ning Fan to die. She couldn't allow Ning Fan to die!
Slightly gritting her teeth, Ouyang Nuan stepped forward and stood in front of Ning Fans. She mustered up her courage and looked at the Ghost Face Pavilion Master.
"I am the disciple of the Medicine Sect's Sect Master, Ouyang Nuan. He is my husband. If you hurt him, even though the Medicine Sect is not as powerful as the Massacre Hall, they will not let this matter rest!"
"What?! Someone from the Herbal Sect! "The expressions of Old Devil Black Snake and the other bandits changed upon hearing the name of the Herbal Sect.
The Medicine Sect was indeed not as powerful as the Slaughter Palace, but it was still the number one alchemy sect in Eastern Heaven. Even many Immortal Venerables would occasionally go to the Medicine Sect to ask for pills …
Even this group of lawless bandits would not dare to provoke a colossus like the Medicine Sect.
They had also heard of the disciple of the Medicine Sect's Sect Master, Ouyang Nuan.
It was said that the Sect Master of the Medicine Sect was extremely stingy and cold towards others. However, he pampered his disciple to the extreme and was extremely generous.
If someone offended the Sect Leader of the Herbal Sect, they might be able to appease the Sect Leader of the Herbal Sect, who valued wealth as much as his life, by shedding some blood and paying a large number of Dao Crystals.
However, if anyone were to offend Ouyang Nuan, the Medicine Sect's Sect Master would never let them off. He would grind their bones into dust and his methods would be extremely cold-blooded.
The Black Snake Demon and the rest gulped. If the woman before them was truly Ouyang Nuan, then she was the person that the Sect Master of the Medicine Sect valued the most. They would never dare to provoke her.
Even the Half-step True Immortal Ghost Face Pavilion Master would have to fear the prestige of the Medicine Sect …
But, is this woman really Ouyang Nuan?
Old Fiend Black Snake and company carefully sized up Ouyang Nuan.
At this moment, Ouyang Nuan was wearing a purple jade. Her appearance could not be said to be old, but it could not be said to be too young or too beautiful. Her white hair was an eyesore, and her small body was too thin.
Could a woman like this be the number one beauty in the Medicine Sect?
It was said that the Medicine Faction's head disciple, Ouyang Nuan, was a peerless beauty. In the entire Eastern Sky, she could be considered a first-class beauty.
How could the woman in front of him be a beauty? It was impossible for this woman to be Ouyang Nuan!
"She scared me to death. I thought this woman was really the head disciple of the Medicine Sect … If she is really the head disciple of the Medicine Sect, she must have a peerless beauty and she must be protected by one of the nineteen Medicine Guards of the Medicine Sect. Humph! This woman is not Ouyang Nuan at all!" The Black Snake Demon sneered and said disdainfully.
Ouyang Nuan's face under the light veil became even paler. She laughed at herself.
That's right. Now that she no longer had a peerless beauty and Wei Qi was no longer protecting her, who would believe that she was Ouyang Nuan? She was the head disciple of the Medicine Sect …
Ning Fan's cold eyes swept across the Black Snake Demon and the others. He did not say anything and quietly pulled Ouyang Nuan behind him.
His heart was filled with a warm feeling.
This woman can't even protect herself, yet she still wants to protect me. Silly …
"Interesting. The head disciple of the Medicine Sect, huh … Interesting … How dare you threaten me …"
* Chi *
The Ghost Face Pavilion Master's figure flashed and suddenly disappeared from his original spot. In the next moment, he appeared in front of Ning Fan. He lifted his finger and pointed at Ning Fan's heart!
Ouyang Nuan's face turned pale with fright while the Black Snake Demon and the others sneered.
They all thought that the Ghost Face Pavilion Master was going to kill Ning Fan out of anger.
Ning Fan was secretly shocked. This Ghost Face Pavilion Master's attack was too fast. It was so fast that he had no time to defend himself. Even if he escaped with the Black Devil Escape, he would most likely be affected by the force of this finger!
Although this person had yet to break through to the True Immortal Realm, his strength was probably stronger than some True Immortals!
Gritting his teeth, Ning Fan was about to use the Black Devil Escape to escape. Suddenly, he stopped and his eyes were filled with confusion.
He realized that although the finger of the Ghost Face Pavilion Master was extremely sharp, he did not want to kill him. Instead, he wanted to help him!
The force of that finger contained some kind of extremely mysterious baleful qi that seemed to be able to suppress the Devil Sense …
"Could it be that this person wants to help me suppress the Devil Sense? But why does he want to help me …?"
While thinking, Ning Fan gritted his teeth and chose not to escape. Instead, he took the attack from the Ghost Face Pavilion Master.
When the finger touched his chest, Ning Fan felt a sharp pain in his heart. He coughed out a mouthful of black blood, but his eyes were filled with gratitude.
The Ghost Face Pavilion Master's finger landed on Ning Fan's chest and infused the baleful qi into it, merging it with the Devil Sense.
At this moment, Ning Fan was incomparably shocked to find out that he could use his own baleful qi to suppress the Devil Sense. He could even control the Devil Sense in his body!
If the Devil Sense were to devour his heart again, he would no longer be lost as long as he used his baleful qi to protect his heart!
"Ning … Husband, are you alright?! Are you alright?! Don't scare Nuan Er! "When Ouyang Nuan saw Ning Fan spurting out blood from his middle finger, she felt as if her heart was being pierced by a knife. It was so painful …
She raised her head and stared at the Ghost Face Pavilion Master coldly. She hated herself for being weak and weak. She hated herself for not being able to tear this person into pieces!
For the first time in her life, Ouyang Nuan had the intention to kill someone!
"Don't be afraid. I'm not dead … This senior doesn't have any evil intentions towards me. Just now, he helped me to control the Devil Sense in my body …" Ning Fan smiled at Ouyang Nuan and transmitted his voice to her.
"Really? How is that possible?! The people of the Slaughter Palace only know how to kill and never save people. He is a dignified Half-Step True Immortal. Why would he help you control the Devil Sense?! Besides, even my master … Senior Qian couldn't completely suppress the Devil Sense in your body. What kind of ability does this person have to help you control the Devil Sense?! "
Ouyang Nuan's face was filled with disbelief as she transmitted her voice to Ning Fan. No matter what, she finally felt relieved after hearing that Ning Fan was fine.
At that moment just now, she was really afraid that Ning Fan would die in the hands of this Ghost Face Pavilion Master.
"Thank you!"
Ning Fan cupped his fists at the Ghost Face Pavilion Master. He was clearly hit by the finger but not only was he unharmed, he even became more spirited than before.
The mouthful of black blood that he spat out was probably the component of the Devil Sense that was hard to control.
After getting rid of these components, the Devil Sense had already become a part of Ning Fan's strength, a force that could increase his strength!
Ning Fan was also very surprised. The Quasi-emperor Tai Wu could not help him control the Devil Sense. Even Qian Kaiyan who was a dignified True Immortal could not do it.
However, the Ghost Face Pavilion Master who was a Half-Step True Immortal did it.
It was not because his cultivation base was higher than the Quasi-emperor Tai Wu. Instead, it was because his finger technique was too mysterious. It seemed to be able to restrain baleful qi and Devil Sense …
Without a doubt, that finger technique was the Slaughter Palace's divine ability.
Ning Fan's mind raced. Perhaps the divine ability of the Slaughter Palace itself was based on baleful qi and Devil Sense. That was why it could control the baleful qi and Devil Sense so easily.
In that case, if I can really join the Slaughter Palace, not only will I not need to get rid of the Devil Sense in my body, it can even become a powerful killing method for me …
"Mm."
The Ghost Face Pavilion Master only responded indifferently to Ning Fan's thanks. His body flashed and he returned to the other side of the counter.
The Old Devil Black Snake and the others looked at Ning Fan in confusion. They could not understand why Ning Fan was not killed by the Ghost Face Pavilion Master and was merely injured by a finger …
Could it be that the Ghost Face Pavilion Master was in a good mood today and spared Ning Fan's life out of kindness?
Was that why Ning Fan thanked him …?
"What a lucky kid …" The Old Devil Black Snake sighed with emotion.
"These seven heads are worth fifty million Dao Crystals. After deducting twenty percent, you will get forty million Dao Crystals."
The Ghost Face Pavilion Master flicked his sleeve and kept the seven heads. Then, he lifted his finger and a storage pouch appeared on the counter. It contained forty million Dao Crystals.
The Old Devil Black Snake took the storage pouch and bowed respectfully to the Ghost Face Pavilion Master without saying a word. Then, the group of them left the Slaughter Pavilion in a hurry, not daring to stay any longer.
Looking at the Old Devil Black Snake's figure that left in a hurry, Ning Fan's eyes flashed.
He naturally noticed that the group of bandits had a black snake tattoo on their left arm. They were all members of the Black Snake Bandits.
"That black-robed Rogue Immortal old man is the bandit leader of the Black Snake Bandits – the Old Devil Black Snake … This person is very protective of his people. If he finds out that four of his subordinates were killed by you after he returns, he will certainly bring his men back to seek revenge." Ou Yangnuan reminded him through telepathy.
"Don't be afraid. I, your husband, am very powerful. Even if the Black Snake Bandits are abandoned, they won't be a threat to me." Ning Fan replied with a smile.
"Don't talk nonsense! Saying that you are my husband is just an expedient measure! "Ou Yangnuan said angrily.
"I, on the other hand, feel that this title isn't bad." Ning Fan smiled and raised his head. His smile faded and he stared at the Ghost Face Pavilion Master with a solemn expression.
Why did this person help me? Does he have some ulterior motives or is he just being kind …?
Is this person a friend or a foe …
"Little Friend Qianqiu, you don't have to worry. I don't have any evil intentions or ulterior motives in helping you. I am just doing it on a whim. I have heard from the Pavilion Master of Shaoze Star that you are a good seedling who cultivates the Dao of Slaughter. Today, I can see that it is indeed true. Since you are able to cultivate so much devil sense when you are just at the Void Fragmentation Realm, you will certainly be a promising talent if you join my Dao of Slaughter. "The Ghost Face Pavilion Master seemed to have seen through Ning Fan's concerns and explained with an indifferent tone.
"I see …"
Ning Fan nodded his head, seemingly accepting this reason.
If this Ghost Face Pavilion Master had already heard about me from Lord Zhu of the Slaughter Pavilion of Shaoze Star and helped me out of cherishing talent, then everything would naturally make sense …
However, was this really the case?
Ning Fan faintly felt that there was another reason why this person helped him.
Cultivators at the Second Step of Dao Cultivation were also fond of spiritual equipment.
The spiritual equipment above the Profound Spirit Realm was divided into three grades: Immortal Grade, True Grade and Emperor Grade.
The ghost mask that this Ghost Face Pavilion Master was wearing was a True Grade Spiritual Equipment. It could conceal one's qi without exposing a single bit. Even ordinary True Immortals would not be able to detect his qi and appearance.
Even though the Ghost Face Pavilion Master's qi was concealed, Ning Fan still felt a sense of familiarity from him.
The burly figure of this person was very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before …
This sense of familiarity came and went quickly. When Ning Fan carefully examined the figure of the Ghost Face Pavilion Master again, he felt that such a burly figure was just too common in the cultivation world …
Was that sense of familiarity just an illusion …?
Forget it. No matter if this person was a friend or foe, Ning Fan decided to keep his guard up against him.
What happened to Wei Qi had alerted Ning Fan.
"The reason why I came here today is to submit the red bounty mission and buy some information."
Recollecting his thoughts, Ning Fan patted his storage pouch and took out 17 sealed human heads. They were the heads of the devils that he had killed previously.
The Ghost Face Pavilion Master's eyes swept across the human heads and said indifferently, "These 17 human heads are worth 140 million Dao Crystals. After deducting 20%, you will get 112 million Dao Crystals. At the same time, the total reward you have obtained is more than 30 million Dao Crystals. No disciples of the Slaughter Palace will attack you."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Ghost Face Pavilion Master flicked his sleeve and kept the 17 human heads. Then, he took out a storage pouch and placed it on the counter.
Ning Fan was not in a hurry to take the storage pouch. Instead, he asked, "I want to buy some information from you. May I know the price?"
"One information, one price. Tell me the information you want and I will tell you the price. Pay me and I will give you the information in the jade slip. "
The Ghost Face Pavilion Master's eyes revealed a meaningful smile. The way he addressed Ning Fan had changed from 'this seat' to 'I'. His tone actually carried a hint of intimacy …
"Ning Fan, he really doesn't have any ill intentions towards you. He only has good intentions. My five-colored medicine soul can sense people's hearts … But why …?" Ouyang Nuan transmitted her voice to Ning Fan doubtfully.
"I don't know. Don't trust the medicine soul too much. It's hard to predict a person's heart …" Ning Fan replied.
After a short moment of silence, he asked the Ghost Face Pavilion Master in a distant tone. "I need some Immortal Soul Herbs. Where can I find them?"
The Immortal Soul Herbs originally grew on the Immortal Soul Star. However, the Immortal Soul Star was barren now. Not even a single blade of grass could be found there …
"The information about the Immortal Soul Herbs? The price is 200 million Dao Crystals."
"200 million for a piece of information …" Ning Fan sighed softly. He took out 88 million Dao Crystals from his storage pouch and put them into another storage pouch. Then, he placed it on the counter.
Together with the previous reward, it was exactly 200 million …
"This is the information you want."
The Ghost Face Pavilion Master kept the Dao Crystals and took out a blood-red jade slip, handing it to Ning Fan.
Ning Fan received the jade slip and scanned its contents with his spirit sense. His expression immediately changed.
There were only a few simple sentences in the information.
"Ever since the Immortal Soul Star was destroyed, there are no more Immortal Soul Herbs in this world. However, there are still a small number of seeds of the Immortal Soul Herb remaining in this world. There are also a few descendants of the Soul Race who have the secret technique to grow the Immortal Soul Herb … The Immortal Soul Herb cannot be grown without the secret technique of the Soul Race."
Ning Fan spent 200 million Dao Crystals to buy a piece of information but it was not very useful …
"I also have the information about the seeds of the Immortal Soul Herb and the secret technique to grow the Immortal Soul Herb. Do you want to buy them?" The Ghost Face Pavilion Master asked with a smile.
Ning Fan was slightly stunned. Then, his expression turned strange.
This Slaughter Pavilion sure knows how to make money. They can even sell the information about the Immortal Soul Herb like this.
He was determined to get the Immortal Soul Herb.
Since there were no more Immortal Soul Herbs in this world, he could only find the seeds and the secret technique to grow them himself.
He must buy these two pieces of information.
"May I know how much these two pieces of information are worth?" Ning Fan asked.
"The information about the seeds is 200 million Dao Crystals while the information about the secret technique is 300 million Dao Crystals."
"500 million, huh …?" Ning Fan scanned his storage pouch with his spirit sense. At this moment, there were only 450 million Dao Crystals left in his storage pouch.
He did not expect the information of the Slaughter Pavilion to be so expensive. He was already considered very rich among the Four Heavens Void Fragmentation Realm experts. However, he could not afford a few pieces of information at all.
"Husband, this is for you …" When Ou Yangnuan saw Ning Fan's embarrassed look, she found it interesting. She untied her storage pouch and handed it to Ning Fan.
Ning Fan lacked money but she had never lacked it.
She could tell that the information about the Immortal Soul Herb was extremely important to Ning Fan. Since Ning Fan could not afford it, she would help him buy it.
"This is your money. How can I use it …?" Ning Fan's expression was slightly awkward.
"I have even given my life to you. What's the harm in giving you some worldly possessions? I will give you my storage pouch now. Do you think you don't need to spend money to find the Longevity Jade? You don't need to treat me like an outsider … "Ou Yangnuan hugged the little furball in her arms. She was in a good mood.
"Awoo? Awoo? "The little furball looked at Ning Fan in confusion.
It did not understand why its' father 'would feel ashamed spending its' mother's' money …
"… It's me who is too meticulous about the small details." Ning Fan's expression changed and he kept Ou Yangnuan's storage pouch without changing his expression.
He took out five hundred million Dao Crystals from it and paid Ghost Face Pavilion Master to buy two sets of information.
Ning Fan could not help but admit that Ou Yangnuan was much richer than him.
There were actually more than fifty billion Dao Crystals in that small storage pouch.
There were more than twenty tufts of one million years old spiritual herbs, seven Ninth Revolution Healing Pills and 150 Eighth Revolution Healing Pills …
There was also the three thousand years old Immortal Peach Tree and various rare ancient herbs … The total value of the items in this storage pouch was at least a hundred billion Dao Crystals.
After scanning the two sets of information with his spirit sense, Ning Fan's expression changed again.
The secret technique of planting the Immortal Soul Herb was in the hands of Hun Tianjun, one of the ten Ancient Heavenly Monarchs.
Hun Tianjun was a descendant of the Soul Race. He possessed the Spiritual Plants Scripture which recorded the secret technique of planting the Immortal Soul Herb.
That Spiritual Plants Scripture was stored in Hun Tianjun's treasure vault. If one wants to obtain this scripture, he would have to steal it.
Hun Tianjun was cold-blooded and cruel by nature. He was a natural-born bandit. It was absolutely impossible to buy the Spiritual Plants Scripture from him.
The information about the secret technique of planting the Immortal Soul Herb was extremely useful to Ning Fan.
The three hundred million Dao Crystals were not spent in vain.
As for the information about the seeds of the Immortal Soul Herb, it was too much of a loss.
There was only one sentence in this piece of information:
"I happen to have a small bag of the seeds of the Immortal Soul Herb. Do you want it?"
Ning Fan looked at Ghost Face Pavilion Master speechlessly. "Does Senior really have the seeds of the Immortal Soul Herb …?"
"Of course I do." Ghost Face Pavilion Master said seriously.
“...”
Ning Fan remained silent. He was a little confused about the situation.
Is this Ghost Face Pavilion Master trying to deceive me of the Dao Crystals on purpose?
This person purposely sold the information separately. Even though he had the seeds of the Immortal Soul Herb in his hands, he did not sell them to him directly. Instead, he said that he had the seeds of the Immortal Soul Herb after earning more money.
Would a dignified Half-Step True Immortal Realm old monster really covet Ning Fan's hundreds of millions of Dao Crystals?
With Ghost Face Pavilion Master's strength, wouldn't it be faster to snatch Ouyang Nuan's fifty billion Dao Crystals from Ning Fan's hands?
Ning Fan could not understand it. If this person was not greedy for money, then he was purposely making fun of him.
What exactly is this person planning? Why did he do so many illogical things?!
"Haha. I really don't have any ulterior motives. I just want to play a little joke with an old friend! Why are you so nervous, Brother Ning?! "
Ghost Face Pavilion Master could no longer hold back his laughter and burst into laughter.
Ning Fan was stunned. Then, he suddenly understood something and looked at Ghost Face Pavilion Master in disbelief.
"It's you!"
"That's right. It's me! Brother Ning, how have you been?! "
Ghost Face Pavilion Master laughed. He put away the Ghost Face Spiritual Outfit and revealed his true appearance.
The way he looked at Ning Fan was filled with a sincere smile!
"How … How is this possible?! The Ghost Face Assassin of the Slaughter Palace actually showed his true appearance?! "Ouyang Nuan stared at Ning Fan in disbelief.
In the Slaughter Palace, not everyone had a ghost face. Only a small number of experts were recognized by Sha Di and were given the Ghost Face Spiritual Outfit.
Even the members of the Slaughter Palace rarely knew whether or not each other had a ghost face and what kind of ghost face they had.
She did not expect that the Ghost Face Pavilion Master of the Slaughter Pavilion would meet Ning Fan with his true appearance. Moreover, it seemed like he was Ning Fan's old friend …
"Husband, who is he …?" Ouyang Nuan asked speechlessly.
No wonder Ghost Face Pavilion Master helped Ning Fan to suppress his Devil Sense. It turned out that he was Ning Fan's friend.
However, this friend of his was too unkind. He didn't reveal his identity earlier and made her worry for half a day.
Without waiting for Ning Fan's introduction, Ghost Face Pavilion Master laughed and introduced himself.
"I am Wu Chen, the Wu who has no respect for the law and the Chen who massacred people in a city. There were outsiders here just now, so it was really inconvenient for me to reveal my identity. Please forgive me if I have offended you! "
"Sister-in-law …" Ouyang Nuan blushed and did not know what to say.
Wu Chen suddenly stopped smiling. He took out a small green pouch and passed it to Ning Fan.
"I was joking with Brother Ning just now. I hope Brother Ning won't mind. This is the seed of the Immortal Soul Grass that I obtained by chance. If Brother Ning needs it, you can just take it. As for the secret technique of planting the Immortal Soul Grass, I will accompany Brother Ning to find that Hun Tianjun later. I believe he won't dare to refuse to hand over the secret technique! "
"Thank you!" Ning Fan cupped his fists and bowed. He naturally did not mind Wu Chen's teasing.
Wu Chen waved his hand, signaling Ning Fan not to be so courteous. Then, he glanced at Ouyang Nuan again and said to Ning Fan with a slight frown.
"Sister-in-law's body doesn't seem to be in good condition. Brother Ning, are you here to inquire about other information?"
"Yes. The reason why I came here today is not only to inquire about the Immortal Soul Grass but also about the Longevity Jade. I want to join the Slaughter Palace. After making a great contribution, I will ask Sha Di to bestow me the Longevity Jade! "
Ning Fan did not need to lie to Wu Chen. He did not have many good friends and Wu Chen was one of them.
"You want the Longevity Jade that belongs to Sha Di?!" Wu Chen's expression changed drastically.
After taking a deep breath, Wu Chen's expression became unprecedentedly serious. He tried to dissuade Ning Fan. "No one is allowed to covet the item that belongs to Sha Di. Even if you join the Slaughter Palace and become its disciple, making a great contribution, it will still be very difficult for you to get that Longevity Jade. As far as I know, Sha Di values this item very much. It seems like it holds a special meaning to him … He will not bestow the jade to anyone! If you ask for the jade, you might infuriate him and he will directly sentence you to death! "
"Even if I offer the elder token to him, I won't be able to get it?! I have to get the Longevity Jade! Even though I know the chances are slim, I still want to go to the Slaughter Palace and give it a try! If I don't have this jade … "Ning Fan clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. Then, he looked at Ouyang Nuan who was beside him.
Without the Longevity Jade, Ouyang Nuan would certainly die twenty years later …
All the emotions in his heart were stuck in his chest, making him feel annoyed.
He did not want to watch Ouyang Nuan die in front of him! He must do something!
"The elder token! Could it be the elder token of Elder Linglong?! How is this possible?! How could the elder token that Sha Di could not find anywhere in the world be in your hands?! "Wu Chen exclaimed in disbelief. (To be continued.)
