Chapter 526 - The Battle In Lin Shui City, Fang Sheng and Fang Si!



Chapter 526: Chapter 526: The Battle In Lin Shui City, Fang Sheng and Fang Si!

Revered Snow and Yun Lie exchanged glances with each other and sighed in unison.

Even though King Jun broke through to the Divine Transformation Realm using a secret technique, the abilities he had were not something that could be disregarded.

Apparently, no one else can stop the merger of Great Jin and the eleven countries...

Another three days went by. Nearly all sects of the eleven cultivation countries had gathered in Lin Shui City. There were several hundred of them in total.

A floating jade platform was built in the sky above the city. Every side of the jade platform had four levels of seating which were occupied by several hundred thousands of cultivators.

Among the eleven countries that King Jun had threatened to submit to him, three of them were mid-grade cultivation countries while the rest were low-grade cultivation countries.

The lowest floor of seating was occupied by the cultivators from the low-grade cultivation countries such as Yue Country, Song Country, Zheng Country and Wei Country.

As for the second floor, it was occupied by the cultivators from the three mid-grade cultivation countries which included the Xiong Country, Wu Country and Huang Country.

The third floor was occupied by three figures who radiated with bright light. Each of them gave off Divine Transformation Realm aura force. They were none other than King Jin, Revered Snow and Yun Lie.

The fourth floor, however, still remained empty. Some cultivators who were well-informed had heard that the fourth floor was a floor King Jin specially prepared for a few big shots of the Rain World...

King Jin acted aggressively and coerced every sect in the eleven countries to yield. A majority of the sects did not dare to defy him due to his power and authority.

Only Yue Country had the most sects which openly refused to submit to King Jin. Those who had discerning eyes could tell that King Jin would probably target Yue Country first and make things difficult for them in today’s assembly.

“I’ve received information that King Jin wants to wipe out the few sects of Yue Country which refuses to yield to him in the city... *Sigh* The cultivators of Yue Country really are ignorant to the present situation for being bold enough to defy a Divine Transformation Realm expert. They were just asking for trouble...” A Gold Core Realm cultivator from the Chen Country said with a sigh. Chen Country was situated at the south of Yue Country. It was also a low-grade cultivation country.

“Yue Country is just a low-grade cultivation country. Even though there is a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator and a Fourth Revolution Pill Refinement Master in the country, it’s impossible for them to withstand the might of a Divine Transformation Realm expert. To low-grade cultivation countries like us, a Divine Transformation Realm expert is a legendary being of the entire country. Killing Nascent Soul Realm cultivators is as simple as crushing a flying insect to them. I’m afraid Yue Country is going to be wiped out...” A cultivator from Xiao Country said with a low tone. Xiao Country was a low-grade cultivation country located at the north of the Great Jin.

“It isn’t the first time for the cultivators of Yue Country to be ignorant of the situation. When Old Ancestor Jing Zhuo of the Fire Cloud Sect returned to the Yue Country after attaining the Nascent Soul Realm in the past, he gained liking from a Nascent Soul Realm divine messenger of the Rain Palace who intended to help Jing Zhuo rule over all the sects in Yue Country and upgrade the country to a mid-grade cultivation country. However, Jing Zhuo outright rejected that divine messenger’s kind intention. His actions angered that divine messenger, causing Yue Country unable to be upgraded as a mid-grade cultivation country...” A cultivator of Zheng Country raised up a past incident.

“Speaking of Yue Country... Why didn’t Old Ancestor Jing Zhuo of that country come today? Even Pill Master Xue Qing did not attend... Hmm... The person who is sitting on the seats of the Seven Apricot City of Yue Country looks rather familiar... It seems like I’ve met him somewhere before...” A Gold Core Realm cultivator who had participated in the mission to eliminate the demon tide in Great Jin before stared at the seating of Seven Apricot City with doubts in his eyes. A white-robed young man holding a paper umbrella was sitting there and a few beautiful women surrounded him.

Before that Gold Core Realm cultivator could inspect him further, three loud whistling sounds suddenly echoed in the sky above him.

*Chi* *Chi* *Chi*

When countless cultivators were discussing animatedly among themselves, three elderly men arrived at the city from afar and descended on the jade platform that was floating in the air. Their cold eyes scanned across the several hundred thousands of cultivators with an air of arrogance. However, when they shifted their gaze to King Jin’s direction, they suddenly cupped their fists and bowed with respect.

“Old Ancestor Xu Feinan from Xiong Country, Old Ancestor Tianji Laoren from Wu Country, Old Ancestor Wang Huang from Huang Country greet King Jin! The three of us are willing to lead all the sects of our countries to join the Great Jin! From today onward, we will be King Jin’s subordinates and we are willing to help Your Majesty to preside today’s assembly!”

King Jin nodded indifferently. He was not surprised by their appearance and he agreed to let them preside over the assembly.

All of a sudden, the cultivators from the low-grade cultivation countries turned pale because they recognized the three individuals’ identities!

Old Ancestor Xu Feinan of Xiong County was a notorious devil lord. Xiong Country was originally a country of devil cultivators. Xu Feinan gained his fame because of his cruelty and brutality. With a cultivation base at the Late Nascent Soul Realm, he ruled over the entire Xiong Country and committed countless killings. People even called him “The Butcher of Heaven and World”. He was the master of one hundred sects of the Xiong Country. Today, he actually led his country to join the Great Jin!

Old Ancestor Tianji Laoren[1] from Wu Country was skilled in divination techniques. Even though he was just at the Mid Nascent Soul Realm, he had befriended many Peak Nascent Soul Realm experts with the help of his Dao of Divination. Nearly no one in Wu Country dared to mess with him. When he joined the Great Jin, it literally meant that the entire Wu Country was going to join as well!

Old Ancestor Wang Huang from Huang Country was also a Late Nascent Soul Realm expert. His body refining realm technique had reached the peak of the Silver Bone Body Refining Realm. The current him could even fight against a Peak Nascent Soul Realm expert! He had spent hundreds of years of effort in order to unify the entire Huang Country. Thus, it really was unexpected for him to actually be willing to join the Great Jin!

Without a doubt, the three mid-grade cultivation countries, Xiong Country, Wu Country and Huang Country had already secretly surrendered to the Great Jin. The only reason why the three old ancestors would bow to King Jin in public and declare to be King Jin’s subordinates – to apply pressure to those low-grade cultivation countries!

Since the mid-grade cultivation countries like them had also joined the Great Jin, any of the low-grade cultivation countries which dared to act otherwise would be considered to be ignorant of the situation!

And there would only be an outcome for those who were ignorant of the situation – death!

Xu Feinan, Tianji Laoren and Wang Huang stood on the jade platform arrogantly and scanned across the hundreds of thousands of cultivators with their cold piercing eyes. Their forceful aura force caused each of the cultivators from the low-grade cultivation countries to be as quiet as cicadas in the winter.

Carrying a large black sword on his back, Xu Feinan took a step forward with a cold smirk. While staring at the crowd from side to side, he announced, “The assembly regarding the integration of countries shall begin now! My master, King Jin, is a person with great ambition. I have great admiration for him as none of the countries in all directions dared to defy his order. Today, my master has the intention to invite every Fellow Daoist from every sect to join Great Jin so that everyone can work together to attain the Great Dao of cultivation. Thus, what is everyone’s decision? Are you all willing to join Great Jin?”

Xu Feinan asked with a cold tone. He directly went straight to the point without much claptrap and his question caused countless cultivators from different sects to lower their heads and sigh.

Even the three mid-grade cultivation countries had already surrendered to Great Jin, how would they, the members from the low-grade cultivation countries, be audacious to act otherwise?

However, they felt somewhat reluctant to immediately promise to surrender... Many sects were still hesitating. They planned to wait and see the decision of the other low-grade cultivation countries. Thus, they did not instantly give an answer to Xu Feinan’s question.

Xu Feinan was sneering inwardly. He understood that the low-grade cultivation countries were waiting for each other to announce their decision first.

He stopped speaking as he thought it was unnecessary to continue wasting his breath with them. In this situation, all he needed to do was to carry out some actions on a small group of people to set an example to the rest. Then, the others would understand the advantages and disadvantages of disagreeing with the integration and made up their minds.

With eyes flashing with ferocity, Xu Feinan shifted his gaze to the seating of Yue Country’s sects.

Before the assembly, King Jin had already told them in private to use Yue Country to establish their might.

A task like this would require one to kill a number of people. Of course, it was impossible for King Jin to stain his hands with blood. Thus, he, Xu Feinan had to act on behalf of King Jin to take some people’s lives to establish their might!

“I heard that there are quite many sects in Yue Country harbor dissatisfaction against my master, King Jin... Fire Cloud Sect, Sinister Sparrow Sect, Seven Apricot City, Absolute Void Sect, Purple Light Sect... If I am not mistaken, these are the ones who are unwilling to yield... Humph! A bunch of trash who are too ignorant of the current situation! It seems like I have to teach you all a lesson!”

*Chi*

Xu Feinan suddenly performed a sword technique. His eyes glowed in red and his body gave off a terrifying violent qi, making him look like an unbeatable ferocious devil!

The large black sword on his back flew into the sky, transforming into thousands of sword shadows. Their sharp sword light covered the sky within one thousand li* (500m per li)

Then, he pointed a finger at Yue Country’s seating. The black sword light fell upon them like pouring rain. Each of the sword lights was strong enough to eliminate a Harmonious Spirit Realm cultivator!

When tens of thousands of sword lights plummeted together, they carried the aura force of the universe which made their destructive power irresistible. Even a Peak Nascent Soul Realm old monster might not necessarily be able to block this attack!

“The Universe Sword!” It was Xu Feinan’s strongest sword technique that made him infamous. It was unknown how many famous old monsters had lost their lives to this sword attack!

The fact that Xu Feinan abruptly delivered an attack had shocked countless people. No one expected that Xu Feinan would suddenly go on a killing spree. His actions literally disregarded the World Law of the Rain World. He indeed was a fierce and brutal devil!

His attacks were only directed at the members of Yue Country. Doubtlessly, he planned to eliminate the several ten thousands of cultivators from Yue Country who had attended the assembly this time without sparing any one of them.

Even though many people had heard about King Jin trying to warn against Yue Country, they had no idea that he would use such a direct and merciless method.

It was the outcome of not yielding to King Jin! Those who refused to yield would die! What a tyrannical king King Jin was!

A dead silence fell upon the atmosphere around the platform. They closed their eyes tightly, not daring to watch the deaths of the Yue Country’s cultivators. They also no longer dared to hesitate. All they wanted was to immediately agree to submit to Great Jin and preserve their lives, avoiding the same mistake that the members of Yue Country made.

On the third floor of the seats, Revered Snow closed his eyes indifferently.

“There’s no need to watch. This Xu Feinan has already acted. None of the Yue Country’s cultivators who have attended this assembly can survive. After the massacre, no one will still have the guts to refuse joining Great Jin...”

As soon as his voice fell, he opened his eyes abruptly and stared at the direction of the Yue Country’s seating in disbelief.

Yun Lie rose to his feet with a face full of surprise. At the same time, his surprised face looked slightly confused. It was as if he had recognized the identity of the person who came but he could not be sure of it.

King Jin was immensely shocked at first but his expression gradually turned gloomy.

As for Xu Feinan who attempted to annihilate the cultivators of Yue Country, he was literally rooted to the ground, petrified. He could not believe his eyes.

Below the torrents of sword light, a white-robed young man suddenly walked out from the seating while holding a blood-red umbrella and stood quietly in front of all Yue Country’s cultivators.

No one knew who he was. No one could detect a single trace of magic power or qi from him.

The cultivators of Yue Country were afraid of the overwhelming sword light at first. However, after the white-robed young man passed a message to everyone via telepathy, each of the sects of Yue Country were filled with astonishment and joy. None of them was scared of Xu Feinan anymore and no one was trying to escape from the pouring sword light!

When the white-robed young man looked at the sword light that had covered the sky, his eyes only had an inextinguishable glint.

Holding a blood-red paper umbrella, he stood calmly under the volley of sword light. After a while, he opened his blood umbrella. Faint red halos began spreading out. In the next moment, the multitude of sword lights in the sky completely vanished!

No one knew where the sword light had gone!

“It’s a heavenly dwelling treasure!” Countless cultivators exclaimed, thinking the blood umbrella as a heavenly dwelling treasure of the legends.

“Impossible! Even a Peak Nascent Soul Realm cultivator might not necessarily be able to withstand that sword attack. What magic treasure is that? It actually could directly take in all the sword light I produced!? Who are you?! There is certainly not a person like you in Yue Country. Are you trying to stand up for Yue Country and make Great Jin your enemy?!”

Just as Xu Feinan was trying to spit some harsh swords, he could not help but shudder with fear after meeting the icy cold eyes of the white-robed young man.

He had killed countless in his entire life. The violent qi he accumulated was frightening. When facing a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator at the same level as him, he normally could disrupt their state of mind by releasing his violent qi.

However, when he stood in front of the white-robed young man, his violent qi was actually showing signs of going out of control. There was only one explanation for this phenomenon... The white-robed young man was a devil lord who was much more savage and brutal than him. He had killed much more people than him and his devil power was countless times more terrifying than his!

“What can you do if I stand up for Yue Country?” Ning Fan said indifferently. He was that white-robed young man.

“Since you wish to help Yue Country, I’ll then kill you on behalf of King Jin!” Xu Feinan calmed himself down. He was completely unwilling to believe that the thin and weak young man in front of him was a more ferocious devil lord than him.

Illusion! The feeling of my violent qi getting uncontrollable just now must be an illusion!

As for the blood umbrella he used to make all my sword light disappear, it must be a type of heavenly dwelling treasure. He must have used the power of the treasure to take in all my sword light!

“This man is certainly not a Divine Transformation Realm expert. He might not necessarily be a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator as well. I’ve heard of nearly all the Nascent Soul Realm and Divine Transformation Realm cultivators in the south-eastern area of the Rain World. This man is certainly not one of them!”

“The reason he managed to resist my sword light is all because of that blood umbrella in his hand. It must be an excellent heavenly dwelling treasure! Even though the treasure has magical functions, his cultivation base is not strong. Thus, there is nothing scary about him. If I kill him, I’ll be able to seize the blood umbrella. That is certainly a wonderful thing!”

Xu Feinan patted his pouch and took out thirteen flying swords which shone brilliantly. Each of them was a Peak Nascent Soul Realm treasure. Moreover, all of them had been sharpened using the blood of a wild beast. Every one of them gave off a violent and chaotic qi!

“The Thirteen Desolate Swords of the Universe! Someone recognized Xu Feinan’s magic treasures and cried out in surprise. According to hearsay, Xu Feinan had killed a few Peak Nascent Soul Realm experts using the thirteen flying swords. Hence, they could not be disregarded.

Xu Feinan commanded all the flying swords to float in the sky. Then, he performed the thirteen different flying sword techniques and ordered the flying swords to produce thirteen sword shadows. Each of the shadows contained the shadow of a wild beast.

The thirteen sword shadows flew at Ning Fan rapidly. Their destructive power was equivalent to that of a Peak Nascent Soul Realm strike. No one would be able to withstand this attack except for cultivators at the Divine Transformation Realm!

Xu Feinan had already fully revealed his killing intent toward Ning Fan. His intention to seize Ning Fan’s treasure after eliminating him was obvious!

Looking at the shadows of the terrifying wild beasts on the swords, each of the cultivators from the low-grade cultivation countries were extremely scared.

Is this Xu Feinan’s ultimate technique? This single technique is capable of killing thousands of Harmonious Spirit Realm cultivators. It’s strong enough to destroy an entire country. Other than a Divine Transformation Realm expert, who could resist it?!

“The white-robed young man’s umbrella is powerful. Even so, he certainly cannot be Xu Feinan’s opponent as the latter is a famous Nascent Soul Realm old monster after all. Now, he has even used the Thirteen Desolate Swords of the Universe...” Some cultivators strongly believed that Ning Fan would lose in this exchange. However, just as they finished speaking, they were at a loss for words upon seeing what happened next.

The moment the shadows of the thirteen flying swords approached Ning Fan, he retained all of them including the shadows of the beasts with a casual shake of his blood umbrella. His expression remained as cold as usual.

“Impossible! You could even take away my Thirteen Desolate Swords of the Universe!?” Other than feeling immensely surprised, Xu Feinan felt a huge sense of terror. The power of that blood-red umbrella seemed to be beyond his expectations!

Ning Fan did not even spare a glance at Xu Feinan. He just kept his blood red umbrella and then pointed a finger at the latter. Faint red halos of spirit wheels began to spread toward him, directly pulling Xu Feinan into the blood red umbrella.

Afterward, he walked to the jade platform while shaking his blood umbrella with a neutral expression. A puddle of blood and pus fell to the ground from the umbrella. The scene was appalling.

All of a sudden, the atmosphere in the entire city was filled with deathly stillness.

The qi of the puddle of blood obviously belonged to Xu Feinan... It meant that Ning Fan had turned him into a puddle of blood by simply using the umbrella. How could this be possible?!

“X-X-Xu... Xu Feinan is dead! This man has actually killed him instantly! How could this be possible?! Xu Feinan was a great devil lord that has the nickname, ‘the butcher of heaven and earth’!”

“Who is this man? Who exactly is he? He certainly cannot be a nameless man for being able to possess such a terrifying blood umbrella and the ability to kill Xu Feinan!”

No one knew who cried out first among the crowd. At the next moment, the eyes of every cultivator looked like they had just seen a ghost when they looked at Ning Fan. With immense fear on their faces, they were trying to guess Ning Fan’s identity!

“Impudent! How dare you kill someone willfully in Lin Shui City in front of three Divine Transformation Realm experts?! Do you really wish to make Great Jin and the Rain Palace as your enemies?!”

Tianji Laoren and Wang Huang mustered their courage and shouted at Ning Fan coldly.

Ning Fan indifferently turned around and cast a glance at the two of them. When his cold eyes glinted, the two cultivators immediately retreated one hundred steps while spurting out blood from their mouths, as if they had received a heavy strike. It nearly caused them to fall to the ground. To their horror, they could not withstand a single look from Ning Fan at all!

They could not help thinking how piercing those eyes were. It was as if he could turn the entire city into a sea of blood or a devil abyss as long as he wills!

“Who... exactly is he?!”

“It’s him! The voracious kid from the past!” King Jin suddenly stood up with disbelief in his eyes.

“It’s really him!” Yun Lie also managed to recognize Ning Fan and let out a hearty laughter. The joy of reuniting with an old friend filled his heart.

“How could he be him?! Forty years ago, he was just a Harmonious Spirit Realm cultivator. Today, he... What is his cultivation base?! Is he at the Nascent Soul Realm or did he break through to the Divine Transformation Realm?!” Revered Snow could not inspect Ning Fan’s exact cultivation base.

On the last row of the Wu Country’s seating, a third-rated cultivation family also participated in this assembly. It was the Ning Family of Hai Ning.

On the seating of the Ning Family, Ning Qingqing who was clad in a set of green robes stared at Ning Fan’s back without batting her eye once. It was as if Ning Fan’s figure had put her in a trance. Her eyes were filled with excitement but also embarrassment. She muttered to herself, “It’s him... He was the mortal young man who voiced out to save me – Ning Fan...”

The reason why the sects of Yue Country were afraid of Xu Feinan was because of Ning Fan’s presence.

Since he was here, he certainly would not allow Great Jin to successfully achieve the integration of Yue Country. No one could annex his country!

Since he was here, even King Jun would not be able to resist him!

“I’m Ning Fan. I am the lord of Seven Apricot City as well as a cultivator of Yue Country. As I am here today, no one can swallow my country!”

Ning Fan’s tone was not loud but his voice contained an aura force that no one could disregard. When he spoke, heaven and earth shook!

As for his words, they stunned all the cultivators in the city.

Ning Fan? This name sounds very familiar. It’s the similar name of Marquis White Robe whose name shook the entire Rain World...

However, everyone thought that the Ning Fan in front of them was not that Ning Fan. The white-robed young man claimed to be a cultivator of Yue Country and the lord of Seven Apricot City. Since he was born in a mere low-grade cultivation country, how could he be the legendary Marquis White Robe who was unrivalled among Void Inquiry Stage experts? It was certainly impossible for them to be the same person!

“I don’t care who you are nor your objective of coming to Lin Shui City. You’ve killed my subordinate, Xu Feinan and you attempted to ruin my plan of integrating the countries. These two reasons are enough for me to certainly kill you today! Tianji and Wang Huang, initiate the ‘Treasure Destruction Formation’ and take him down, dead or alive!”

“Understood!”

Both Tianji Laoren and Wang Huang took out a formation disk and activated the grand formation.

In the next instant, layers of formation light covered the entire Lin Shui City. Just as the formations appeared, all the magic treasures below the grade of Void Treasure were sealed by the power of the formation light, rendering them ineffective!

“This is a Low Grade Mortal Void Grand Formation – Treasure Destruction Formation! All magic treasures that are below the Mortal Void Grade within the formation will become useless! With the presence of the formation, even if he possesses a heavenly dwelling treasure, he won’t be able to use it and kill others anymore. There is nothing scary about him anymore!”

Wang Huang sneered. His body emanated rays of silver light as he charged toward Ning Fan with a fist like a cannonball.

From Wang Huang’s perspective, it was all because of the blood umbrella’s power that enabled Ning Fan to kill Xu Feinan instantly.

As for the look in his eyes that injured him and Tianji just now, it must be a certain type of evil magic technique. No matter what, Wang Huang did not believe that there was actually someone in the world who could harm a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator with just a look.

He strongly believed that once they sealed the blood umbrella and were cautious of Ning Fan’s “evil magic technique”, he would not need to be afraid of him anymore.

Unfortunately, little did he know that the blood umbrella was not a treasure that this Treasure Destruction Formation could seal.

He even had no idea that his physical body that was only at the Peak Level of the Silver Bone Refining Realm was nothing to Ning Fan.

Wang Huang’s fist radiated in brilliant silver light. His single punch could force a Peak Nascent Soul Realm cultivator to retreat backward. He was extremely confident with his physical strength. He firmly believed that he could eliminate Ning Fan with just a single punch.

Ning Fan just raised his palm and waved it casually without even sparing a glance at him. An unimaginably massive force struck Wang Huang, literally smashing him into meat paste...

Dead silence! The entire city was covered in dead silence again!

This time, Ning Fan did not use the blood umbrella at all. He directly killed Wang Huang with just a simple wave of his palm!

“How strong exactly is this man’s physical body? He actually killed Wang Huang with just a palm. Is it possible that he is a body cultivator who has attained the legendary Jade Life Body Refining Realm?!”

“Jade Life Body Refining Realm!? A person with that body refining realm is comparable to a Divine Transformation Realm expert! Is this young man actually a being who is at the level of the Divine Transformation Realm?!”

Cries of surprise drowned the entire city.

Ning Fan did not even look at Wang Huang’s corpse. He just turned around and faced Tianji Laoren, uttering coldly, “Tianji, do you know who I am?”

“N-no. I don’t... I don’t know you!” When Ning Fan’s eyes scanned past Tianji Laoren, the latter began shivering in fear.

“You can perform divination to find out who I am and see whether you and I have a blood feud!” Ning Fan’s voice was cold.

“Perform divination?”

As soon as Tianji Laoren heard what Ning Fan told him to do, he instantly made a hand seal with his trembling hands, divining Ning Fan’s identity.

Just as he tried to look into the heavenly secrets that were related to Ning Fan, he immediately spurted out fresh blood from his mouth. He became grievously injured and his cultivation base was on the verge of regressing!

All of a sudden, Tianji Laoren’s expression turned pale. He was capable of even seeing fragments of heavenly secrets belonging to Divine Transformation Realm cultivators. However, he actually could not look into Ning Fan’s heavenly secrets at all. There was only one possible explanation for it... Ning Fan’s cultivation base was even higher than the Divine Transformation Realm!

And from his attempt of glimpsing at Ning Fan’s heavenly secret, he saw the killings and massacres that Ning Fan had gone through.

Tens of millions of cultivators and ferocious beasts had turned into white bones and died beneath Ning Fan’s feet!

Each of the Gold Core Realm and Nascent Soul Realm cultivators were just like ants to him as he eliminated all of them with just a single wave of his hand.

Each of the legendary Divine Transformation Realm and Void Refinement Realm experts lost their lives in Ning Fan’s hands!

It was beyond his surprise that Ning Fan was such a powerful being. And his true identity was actually the individual whose devil notoriety was the greatest in the Rain World – Marquis White Robe!

Scarlet Heaven Palace Lord was unrivalled beneath heaven! When the white robe appeared, the world wore white morning dress!

Tianji Laoren was unable to believe that the white-robed young man in front of his eyes was Marquis White Robe who could make countless Void Refinement Realm experts tremble with fear upon hearing his name!

The heavenly secret about Ning Fan that Tianji Laoren saw was not anything important. It was something that Ning Fan deliberately show him. Otherwise, it was certainly impossible for him to glimpse at any of Ning Fan’s heavenly secret.

After just seeing that part of heavenly secret, Tianji Laoren was nearly paralyzed on the ground due to fear.

Besides, he even saw the blood feud between him and Ning Fan!

During the war between the devil armies and Yue Country, the invasion of the Heavenly Dao Sect had caused the country to suffer a huge casualty. Even Ning Fan nearly lost his life in the fight.

The reason why the Heavenly Dao Sect invaded Yue Country was to take Ning Fan’s life and it was Tianji Laoren who sold Ning Fan’s information to them!

“Because of my silliness in the past, I offended... offended...” No matter how, Tianji Laoren did not have the guts to utter the three words – Marquis White Robe!

Even if he had joined the influential side of Great Jin, he was still certainly not an opponent to Marquis White Robe. The only consequence of having a feud with him was death!

*Bang*

Tianji Laoren suddenly fell to his knees before Ning Fan. His face was ashen as he kept pleading to Ning Fan.

Overwhelmed with panic, Tianji Laoren began speaking incoherently. He kept talking bad about King Jin just to please Ning Fan.

All cultivators in the city were once again shocked by what they saw. Even King Jin started to lose his composure.

What exactly did Tianji Laoren divine that caused him to kneel down in fear...?

“Impudent! What did you do to Tianji?! Why would he kneel down to him and begin rambling nonsense?!”

King Jin lost his temper. He raised his hands and performed a hand seal to deliver a magic attack at Ning Fan from countless distances away.

Black sea waves appeared in the middle of the sky out of nowhere. They were none other than King Jin’s famous technique – Overlord Art, Ten Commands!

In the past, this technique had caused Ning Fan to suffer badly. Today, however...

“Forty years has passed. Do you think you can still suppress me? Break!”

Ning Fan lifted a finger and pointed at King Jin. At the next instant, an unimaginable force pressed against King Jin’s chest, immediately inflicting severe injuries to him that nearly killed him. The layers of sea wave that he summoned using his dominating intent disintegrated!

He fell down from the sky while coughing out blood. Upon a single exchange, he was already on the verge of death. That scene had silenced countless cultivators of the city!

No one could believe that a Divine Transformation Realm expert, someone who only existed in the myth, would be nearly killed by Ning Fan with a simple finger!

King Jin lied down on the ground like a dead dog. His immortal veins were completely broken and he could not move a single muscle of his body.

He stared at Ning Fan with discontentment and terror in his eyes. Even his bones were shivering uncontrollably.

That finger Ning Fan used on him was too frightening. Even if he spares no effort to cultivate for another ten thousand years, he would still certainly be unable to block it!

“How could you become so strong?! This is impossible! I don’t believe it! I don’t believe it!!! Tianji, tell me! Who is he?! Who exactly is he?!”

“He is...” Before Tianji Laoren opened his mouth, an angry roar resounded far away in the sky. It was the voice of an old man.

“Impudent! With me here, how can I tolerate a wild devil like you to take the lives of the innocent and ruin the integration between the eleven countries and Great Jin!”

A massive silver ship suddenly arrived at Lin Shui City. A majestic old man stood on the bow of the head. His presence gave off Void Inquiry Stage aura force and his forceful qi made the entire place tremble.

“O-Oh my god! What level is that old monster? He actually can make the space tremble with just his qi... Could he be one of the legendary Void Refinement Realm experts?!” Some cultivators of the city exclaimed.

“It’s Marquis Wu Mu! He is the sect master of the Martial Sect – Marquis Wu Mu!” Revered Snow recognized Marquis Wu Mu.

Marquis Wu Mu was enjoying the look of admiration in the eyes of the crowd, feeling quite pleased with himself.

As a matter of fact, he was not concerned about the integration of the countries. The only reason he came today was to relieve his boredom.

Since he had participated in the assembly, he naturally could not watch King Jin being injured without doing anything.

Even though he had no respect for King Jin, he must act properly to preserve his face. Nominally, he had joined the assembly. Thus, he had the obligation to help King Jin maintain the order of the assembly.

“Young kid, who are you? How dare you injure someone in front of me? Have you gone tired of living?” Marquis Wu Mu slightly squinted his eyes. He was too lazy to even look at Ning Fan’s appearance.

From Marquis Wu Mu’s perspective, the participants of the assembly would mostly be ants from some low-grade and mid-grade cultivation countries. Who could deserve his respect?

“Oh? Marquis Wu Mu from the Martial Sect, huh...? Are you sure you want to go against me?!” Ning Fan looked at Marquis Wu Mu with a smirk. A terrifying baleful qi dyed the sky within several hundred thousand li*! (500m per li)

Originally, Marquis Wu Mu was carefree and relaxed. However, after sensing the baleful qi, he immediately became clear-headed and started inspecting Ning Fan.

It was still good if he did not inspect Ning Fan. When he had done so, he nearly peeped his pants out of fear. He wished he could just slap himself twice on the face.

What did he just do? He actually threatened a devil lord whom he must never offend!

Marquis Wu Mu was close to falling off from the silver ship. His reactions caused countless cultivators to stare at him with mouth agape. What he said next had even left countless dumbfounded.

“F-Fellow Daoist must be joking. Even if I have courage as large as the sky, I will also not be daring enough to offend Fellow Daoist. *Cough* What I said just now was just a joke. Fellow Daoist must never bother about it. I don’t want to intervene in the integration plan of Great Jin at all... Erm... I’ve just recalled that I have something else to do. I’ll make a move first... Farewell.”

*Chi*

As soon as Marquis Wu Mu saw Ning Fan’s appearance, he was literally scared off!

“Impossible! Marquis Wu Mu was a Void Refinement Realm expert, why would he be scared of this man?! I don’t believe it. This is all fake. I don’t believe it!” King Jin was literally overwhelmed with terror.

The current him no longer had the guts to find out Ning Fan’s identity.

He could not imagine what identity or name that could actually scare off the sect master of Martial Sect directly!

“Everything is true... He is Marquis White Robe. He is Marquis White Robe!” Tianji Laoren said with a hopeless smile.

The entire city was quiet like a dead city. Even the cultivators from Yue Country did not make a sound at all.

The city lord of Seven Apricot City actually is Marquis White Robe who shook the entire Rain World?! How could this be possible?!

“I cannot die. I cannot die now! This isn’t true. This is all fake!” King Jun suddenly acted as if he went insane. He could not believe the Harmonious Spirit Realm junior that he encountered forty years ago would become the unrivalled Marquis White Robe!

When he met Ning Fan’s cold indifferent eyes, King Jun’s heart was filled with fear. He could see that Ning Fa would certainly not let him go today. He would certainly kill him!

He had sent his men to injure Ning Fan’s subordinates. He had tried to murder him in the past. Thus, he was going to die for sure!

However, how would he be willing to lower his head and accept his death?

King Jun suddenly raised his head and shouted toward the sky.

“Palace Lord, save me! Vice Palace Lord, save me! I’m still useful to Sixth Prince. I’m of great use to him. You all must not let this man kill me! I know you are here. The two of you must be here!”

*Sigh*

A sigh echoed throughout the sky.

Then, two elderly men who had similar faces appeared. The only distinction was that one of them wore a set of black robes while the other person wore a set of white robes.

The two old men looked at Ning Fan coldly and threatened.

“Both of us are here. You cannot hurt King Jin. He is still useful to the Sixth Prince. If he dies, you can’t afford to offend the Sixth Prince!”

They were the palace lord and vice palace lord of the Serene Heaven Palace – Fang Sheng and Fang Si!

The two of them were Void Pierce Stage experts. Just as they appeared, layers of void ocean abruptly emerged!

“If you insist on killing King Jin, you must first get through us. Otherwise, we won’t be able to give the Sixth Prince an explanation!”
