Chapter 438: Devil Statue Slate

Translator: GE_Team

Fen Chi was an Early Divine Transformation Realm cultivator whose appearance was peerless. She was a famous beauty of the Six-Winged Clan.

She had always been full of confidence towards her looks. Even many Mid and Late Divine Transformation Realm old monsters in the Six-Winged Clan had fallen for her.

Countless experts were willing to be her partner. However, she had never set her eyes upon any of them due to her excessively high standards.

Under the command of the great elder, Liu Yi, she went out of the clan to welcome Ning Fan. Inwardly, she was somewhat reluctant as she thought that it was a disgrace to her status.

Ning Fan had yet to arrive because he was worried about Yue Lingkong’s body. As for Fen Chi, she and her group had been waiting for him outside the clan for several days in a row already. Internally, she became even more impatient.

She had never expected that Ning Fan was not the one who would come to meet her but a great disaster of the Six-Winged Clan instead.

The two great devil clans, the Ghost Eye Clan and the Mist Horn Clan had colluded with two other great forces and sealed off billions of li* (500m peril) around the sea domain and laid siege to the Six-Winged Clan.

The masterminds behind this plot was, of course, the Ghost Eye Clan and the Mist Horn Clan. Apparently, they attacked the Six-Winged Clan to obtain something called the ‘Devil Statue Slate’.

Half a month earlier, in the forbidden area of the Six-Winged Clan, a strange phenomenon occurred. Devil blood covered the blue skies. The ancient devil statue that was enshrined and worshipped for countless generations in the forbidden area had suddenly collapsed after the strange phenomenon.

According to hearsay, that devil statue was created to worship one of the devil ancestors in ancient times. The devil statue had a profound and mysterious power. It could not be broken by any kind of attack. Even Void Fragmentation Realm old monsters would not be able to break the devil statue.

However, during the occurrence of the strange phenomenon that day, the spirituality of the devil statue was greatly reduced and the statue collapsed on itself. Then, an ancient slate that was hidden in the devil statue had come out from it. It seemed to contain some information.

The slate fell into the hands of the great elder as soon as it appeared. Hence, no one knew what information it contained.

At the same time, the same strange phenomenon also happened to the blue sky of the Mist Horn Clan and the Ghost Eye Clan. Apparently, the two clans had also obtained an ancient slate from the fragments of their devil statues.

As for the Giant Devil Clan, this abnormal phenomenon where devil blood filled the blue sky had also happened to them. However, it vanished immediately after just a brief moment. According to the investigations of countless experts, the devil statue that was enshrined in the forbidden area of the Giant Devil Clan did not break and no slate appeared from that incident.

This matter had caused quite a huge trouble in the internal sea. Many rumors claimed that the ancient slates contained the great secret of the devil race. However, no one dared to find and collect the slates because the three pieces of slates that had appeared were in the hands of the three respective devil clans of the hidden ocean.

The three devil clans were being ruled by Void Refinement Realm experts. Those cultivators who were well aware of the history of the Endless Sea would naturally not dare to mess with the three great devil clans.

In the Rain World alone, there were eight hundred cultivation countries, countless spiritual mountains and vast marshlands and innumerable experts who never revealed their existence. However, speaking of Void Refinement Realm old monsters, there were just a few hundred of them. Moreover, each of them was an outstanding expert who once shook the whole world.

In the entire Rain World, the devil clans in the hidden sea were first-class forces. In the past, only the thunder sovereign was brave enough to suppress the devil clans. To ordinary cultivators, how would they dare to offend them?

However, even though ordinary cultivators would not dare to seize the slates of the devil statues, the three devil clans began to fight among themselves for those very slates.

The Ghost Eye Clan and the Mist Horn Clan were always very close with each other while the Six-Winged Clan was isolated from the other three devil clans. The reason why the two aforementioned devil clans took the initiative to attack the latter was none other than to seize its slate. Since the devil statue of the Giant Devil Clan did not break and no stone slate appeared from their statue, it escaped this disaster.

This was the reason why the Six-Winged Clan was suddenly attacked. The Ghost Eye Clan and the Mist Horn Clan had sent out two great Void Glimpse Stage old monsters this time. Besides that, they even invited two experts at the Illusory Void Stage from the Demon Sealing Sect and the Lan Ling Sect to join forces with them.

The Lan Ling Sect was a force of the profound righteous path which always had dealings with the Ghost Eye Clan. It had strength equivalent to a cultivation country. It has been said that the sect master of this sect, King Lan Ling, was an outstanding individual among the young cultivators of the previous generation in the Rain World. In all of his battles against his peers, he had only lost once in his entire life and the one who managed to defeat him that time was Yun Tianjue.

Now, King Lan Ling was rumored to be an old monster of the Absolute Void Stage and was already close to achieving the Void Fragmentation Realm. Moreover, he even received a compliment from the Divine Sovereign of the Rain Palace who said that King Lan Ling was the one who had the highest chance of becoming the next Void Fragmentation Realm old monster in the Rain World.

The Lan Ling Sect had only sent out an old monster at the Illusory Void Stage in their current mission to attack the Six-Winged Clan. The expert was not a true Void Refinement Realm expert. Even so, the involvement of the Lan Ling Sect made countless old monsters who practiced the righteous path give up on the idea of seizing the devil statue slate.

Anyway, the reason why the Ghost Eye Clan and the Mist Horn Clan roped in the Lan Ling Sect was to borrow their name to intimidate the others from the righteous path.

As for the Demon Sealing Sect…

The sect master of the Demon Sealing Sect, Lu Jiefen, had received aid from the Ghost Eye Clan who had given him a devil pill that healed all of the injuries he got in the Star Palace. Moreover, his cultivation base had also greatly improved after consuming that devil pill and he was already not far away from breaking through to the Void Refinement Realm. Now, he was at the Illusory Void Stage.

Since the Demon Sealing Sect had received the help of the Ghost Eye Clan, they naturally needed to contribute some of their strength in attacking the Six-Winged Clan to repay their debt.

Moreover, the actual reason why the Ghost Eye Clan roped in the Demon Sealing Sect in this mission was certainly not because they valued Lu Jiefen’s strength which was just at the Illusory Void Stage, but because of his status as one of the eight venerated beings in the internal sea.

The eight venerated beings of the internal sea were subordinates of the thunder sovereign. With the involvement of the Demon Sealing Sect, the devil cultivators of the Endless Sea would not be bold enough to involve themselves in this matter.

Evidently, the original intention of roping in the Lan Ling Sect and the Demon Sealing Sect was to intimidate all of the cultivators under the heavens, be it the cultivators of the righteous or devil paths to avoid all kinds of troubles.

Fen Chi told Ning Fan all of this information without holding anything back as she did not dare to conceal anything from him.

She really was a beauty who had a life full of tragedy. Prior to this, she was just waiting for Ning Fan outside of their clan. Everything was peaceful and tranquil until the four great forces took the initiative to surround and attack them.

If it wasn’t because those experts who had surrounded them coveted her beautiful appearance and reserved their strength when they were attacking in hopes of capturing her alive, it would definitely be impossible for her to survive in the hands of seven enemies at the Divine Transformation Realm with her meager Early Divine Transformation Realm cultivation base.

“I can’t repay Venerated Ming’s kindness in saving my life. All the information I told you is absolutely true and correct. I wouldn’t dare to conceal any information at all. I hope Venerated Ming can understand.”

Fen Chi recounted all of the things that had happened as she tried very hard to sound calm.

Before this, she absolutely looked down on Ning Fan because of her pride in her beauty. Back then, she could not understand why the great elder would send her to welcome Ning Fan.

Now, she only had respect and fear for Ning Fan. In her eyes, the intimidating pressure that he was giving her was even more irresistible than that of the great elder.

She instantly realized that she was being such a thoughtless person in the past and it was a mistake to look down on Ning Fan.

She was extremely grateful to Ning Fan. If it wasn’t because of him, she would have certainly been captured, humiliated or killed by the seven enemy Divine Transformation Realm cultivators.

Gratitude aside, she was even more afraid of him. Ning Fan’s eyes had a lofty and majestic coldness. It was as if he was standing on top of the clouds overlooking all living creatures.

Ning Fan never had this kind of coldness before. After Ning Fan experienced the power of the Immortal Emperor Realm and fought against Mo Luo, his horizons had been widened and his mindscape was cleansed. Since then, his disposition had a hint of nobleness that could only be found in immortal emperors.

He is an unfeeling man. That kind of unfeelingness isn’t really cold-bloodedness but… is actually similar to those strong experts who lack emotions when confronting ants…

Fen Chi thought to herself.

All in all, she was very scared of Ning Fan. The fear she had for him was beyond words.

Her physical body had already been destroyed and she was only in the form of her primordial spirit which was as large as a palm. Now, Ning Fan was holding her in his palm.

Her long and narrow brows and cold eyes seemed to have the power that could bewitch one’s soul. Her red and glossy lips looked sultry and charming. Since she was wearing a set of skintight battle armor, she resembled a female devil general. On her back, there were six delicate wings which gave her an additional touch of attractiveness as a member of a different race.

She was the best-looking beauty in the Six-Winged Clan and her appearance could fill the eyes of countless men with passion and longing. However, the way Ning Fan looked at her was very cold from the beginning even until now.

“It’s good that you didn’t tell lies. If you did, you would regret it.”

Ning Fan had already activated his Mind Reading Technique. When he was asking Fen Chi, he was finding out all of the information he could from her mind at the same time.

Thus, whether Fen Chi was telling the truth or telling some lies, it did not matter to him.

However, since Fen Chi had told him the complete truth, his attitude towards her naturally became slightly more friendly. At least, the way he looked at her was no longer that cold.

He let go of Fen Chi and let her tiny primordial spirit stay on his shoulder. He spread his Fu Li demon wings outwards and summoned a gust of black-purple demon wind. He dashed towards the Six-Winged Clan swiftly while also carrying Yue Lingkong and the female corpse.

“Little Cucumber, are we really going to aid the Six-Winged Clan? It’s nothing if there is only the Demon Sealing Sect. As for the Ghost Eye Clan and the Mist Horn Clan, it’s not good to mess with them. Apparently, they are eager to obtain something called the Devil Statue Slate. Moreover, they are even willing to annihilate the Six-Winged Clan for it. If we intervene in this, we will definitely seriously offend the two devil clans. Apart from that, the Lan Ling Sect is actually involved in this too. It’s not wise to provoke any of them.”

Yue Lingkong calmly analyzed the situation. During crucial moments like this, she would never be muddle-headed. In fact, she really was a very reliable partner.

“You must be Venerated Ming’s partner – Venerated Moon! Please. I beg you. Lord Venerated Moon, you must help my Six-Winged Clan!” Fen Chi’s small captivating face was filled with nervousness and despair.

This time, there were a total of two Void Glimpse Stage experts and two Illusory Void Stage experts in the four different forces attacking the Six-Winged Clan. As for the Six-Winged Clan, it only had the great elder who was just a Void Glimpse Stage expert. A pair of fists could not win against four pairs of hands. Without Ning Fan and Yue Lingkong’s help, the Six-Winged Clan would certainly be eradicated.

Prior to this, Fen Chi might have been extremely arrogant and self-conceited but she had heard of the rumors claiming that Ning Fan possessed three Void Refinement Realm spiritual puppets.

Ning Fan and Yue Lingkong were also rumored to be Half-Step Void Refinement Realm experts. Experts at their level were incapable of resisting true Void Refinement Realm old monsters.

However, the three spiritual puppets that Ning Fan had was the greatest hope to saving the Six-Winged Clan.

Fen Chi was already pleading with all of her heart.

Yue Lingkong gently knitted her brows after hearing her pleadings. She was not a kind person. If it isn’t necessary, she would not take the risk of offending the Ghost Eye Clan, the Mist Horn Clan and the Lan Ling Clan.

In regards to being addressed as Venerated Ming’s partner, she wanted to argue instinctively but she did not know why she swallowed her words and did not raise any objections against being called this when she recalled Ning Fan’s gentle expression.

“Little Cucumber, I don’t like offending these great forces. However, if you still decide to act in the end, I won’t hesitate to help you.” Yue Lingkong’s tone sounded extremely firm.

Ning Fan felt a sense of warmth in his heart. Yue Lingkong’s words actually meant following him no matter what decision he made in the end even if it meant death.

As long as it was for Ning Fan, Yue Lingkong would not hesitate to face all of these terrifying forces.

Ning Fan raised his hand and gently held Yue Lingkong’s hand. The corners of his mouth curved into a warm smile.

“Only the great elder of the Six-Winged Clan can activate the Revival Platform to perform the treatment on Weiliang’s Sea of Consciousness. The Six-Winged Clan can’t be destroyed. Thus, I have to act in order to protect them. Yue Er, this time, whether to help me or not, it’s for you to decide.”

“Don’t worry. I will certainly help you! Let go of me…”

Yue Lingkong’s delicate body trembled. She nervously withdrew her hand. Nowadays, her heartbeat would race and she would feel like her thoughts were in a whirl whenever Ning Fan randomly touches her.

She could not help but feel strange.

It’s really weird…

In the past, even though she did ‘that’ with Ning Fan, she did not experience this kind of feeling.

Now, however, her mood was being completely influenced by him.

“Little Cucumber, be rest assured. My cultivation base has already recovered to its peak. Moreover, it has improved quite a lot compared to before. It will certainly be no problem even if I fight two Void Glimpse Stage experts and two Illusory Void Stage experts all on my own. This time, I will protect you. I can fight four of them all by myself!”

Yue Lingkong had never seen the terrifying scene in the Black Lightning Tower where Ning Fan instantly killed someone at the Void Refinement Realm. She was not aware that Ning Fan could even defeat a Void Inquiry Stage expert if he goes all-out.

She told Ning Fan that she could face the four of them on her own because she wanted Ning Fan not to feel worried.

However, when her words entered Fen Chi’s ears, the latter felt like she was speaking arrogantly.

“What?! Venerated Moon said that she can handle the four experts on her own?! Even the great elder can’t fight against two Void Glimpse Stage experts and two Illusory Stage experts by himself. This Venerated Moon is a little too arrogant, isn’t she…?”

Fen Chi could not believe that Yue Lingkong had the strength to fight against four experts on her own. However, even though she did not believe it, she did not dare to speak her mind in front of Yue Lingkong to avoid enraging her.

Ning Fan, on the other hand, had confidence in Yue Lingkong’s combat power. Just her second primordial spirit alone could defeat three Void Glimpse Stage spiritual puppets. If it was Yue Lingkong herself, her combat power would naturally be much stronger. Moreover, after her primordial spirit’s power recovered, her combat power had improved by quite a lot.

The current Yue Lingkong was not any weaker than an ordinary Void Inquiry Stage old monster if she gives her all.

Just Yue Lingkong alone was enough to resolve the disaster of the Six-Winged Clan today.

Of course, Ning Fan did not plan to wash the territory of the Six-Winged Clan with blood.

Yue Lingkong might be willing to go against the Ghost Eye Clan, the Mist Horn Clan and the Lan Ling Sect for him, but he was not willing to kill all of the experts of the three forces to save the Six-Winged Clan who just had a shallow relationship with him.

It was still not the right time to completely go against the forces of this level. This time, Ning Fan was just prepared to protect the Six-Winged Clan from being annihilated but he was not prepared to slaughter all of the top-level experts of the three great forces.

With Ning Fan’s dual identity as a revered elder from the Rain Palace and the important guest of the Zhou Clan, it was already enough to make the three forces afraid of him. Hence, they would not dare to hold him responsible if he just kills some insignificant fries.

Just keeping the Six-Winged Clan from being destroyed was enough. If the Six-Winged Clan gives the devil slate to the Ghost Eye Clan and the Mist Horn Clan, it would not be destroyed since they had to give Ning Fan some face.

“However, the appearance of the devil slate is somewhat strange. The time when the strange phenomenon where the devil blood dyed the blue sky was a short while after I eliminated Mo Luo and obtained his devil blood. I wonder if there is any connection between them…”

“To err on the side of caution, I’ll make a copy of the devil statue slate first before handing it to the two foreign clans. Then, I can study it carefully later. Perhaps some information in this devil statue slate can help me devour Mo Luo’s blood completely!”

*Bang* *Bang* *Bang*

In the distance, the Six-Winged Clan was faintly visible. Fire signals were already lit up in many areas and the sounds of battle could be heard everywhere.

In the depths of the ocean, the great elder of the Six-Winged Clan was soaked in blood. He was battling against four experts and his body had been inflicted with countless wounds. Blood flowed out from him like a river. Even so, he still did not concede defeat.

“Xuan Yi, hurry up and hand over the devil statue slate. Then, I will keep your corpse intact!” A black-armored burly man who had a single horn on his head spoke with a cold smile. His cultivation base was at the Early Void Refinement Realm. Each punch he threw could make mountains collapse and the lands to crack. His strength put the great elder in a difficult situation.

“In your dreams, Gui Jiao! This slate contains the method to ‘free ourselves from the slave marks’. Furthermore, it even contains one-fourth of the cultivation method of Mo Luo’s Ancestral Talisman! This is the hope for our Six-Winged Clan to break free from Mo Luo’s slave mark forever. Even if I have to die, I absolutely will not give you the slate!”

“Hehe. Since Great Elder Xuan Yi is reluctant to hand the devil statue slate to us, then don’t blame me for being ruthless.” Lu Jiefen let out a hollow laugh with a gloomy expression. Then, he summoned a demon dagger-axe burning with purple flames and hurled it at Xuan Yi.

The might of this attack could burn mountains and boil the ocean. It was already extremely close to a Void Refinement Realm attack!

While facing four experts on his own, Xuan Yi had put most of his focus on the two Void Glimpse Stage experts and only used his remaining strength to deal with Lu Jiefen and the other Illusory Void Stage expert. He did not expect that Lu Jiefen would have such a strong killing technique.

All of a sudden, he became absent-minded and the fiery dagger-axe directly cut off one of his arms. He cried in agony with his qi becoming chaotic. The other three experts seized this opportunity and attacked with all of their might. In an instant, his injuries became even more severe and he was on the brink of death.

Furiously, Xuan Yi glared at Lu Jiefen. He knew that he was not far away from death now but he was not satisfied to die like this!

“Lu Jiefen, if it wasn’t because you have become a dog of the Ghost Eye Clan, how could a lowly Divine Transformation Realm ant like you be granted the devil pill and reach the Illusory Void Stage! I am really not satisfied to be sneak-attacked and killed by an ant like you! I am not satisfied!”

“Humph! You’re indeed courting death!” The old eyes on Lu Jiefen’s face turned grim. He hated being called an insignificant ant by others the most. He would take revenge on everyone who had humiliated him before.

Be it Xuan Yi or Ning Fan!

Of course, in Lu Jiefen’s eyes, Ning Fan was far more unfathomable than Xuan Yi. Before he truly breaks through to the Void Refinement Realm, he would continue to pretend to be afraid of Ning Fan. When the day he attains the Void Refinement Realm and obtains the power to suppress him comes, he would then take revenge for all of the humiliation he had suffered in the past!

He changed his hand seals and manipulated the fiery dagger-axe to go rush straight to Xuan Yi’s dantian. The force of that strike would be enough to directly kill Xuan Yi whose qi was already weak!

Both of Xuan Yi’s eyes turned bloodshot. He widened his eyes so big that his eyes were about to pop from their sockets.

He had finally seen the hope of rescuing the entire Six-Winged Clan after the occurrence of the abnormal phenomenon and the appearance of the slate.

He was not satisfied for the Six-Winged Clan to be annihilated at a time like this!

“I am not satisfied!”

Xuan Yi ignited his devil flames and his eyes turned like those of an ancient devil. He then condensed starlight on his palms. He wanted to use all of his strength to display the Star Punishing Bow to block the strike of the fiery dagger-axe.

At this moment, a few figures descended from the sky.

The person leading the group was a young man in white robes. He gently lifted his finger and pointed at the dagger-axe.

That dagger-axe was already close to becoming a Void Grade treasure. However, under the massive force of Ning Fan’s finger, it trembled violently. At the next second, cracks started to spread across its body, its spiritual light gradually diminished and then it disintegrated completely!

With just a single finger, he crushed a Half-Step Void Grade treasure!

Only a body cultivator at the Golden Body Realm could have such a frightening physical body!

“Who are you?! How dare you intervene in my business?!” Lu Jiefen was enraged when he saw that his magic treasure had been destroyed. He glared fiercely at the young man in white robes.

When he noticed the young man’s appearance, Lu Jiefen’s eyes were suddenly filled with great shock. In his look of surprise, there was also an indiscernible trace of enmity.

That enmity was deeply rooted in him. It started from the Broken World and then continued in the Star Palace and eventually in the External Endless Sea. Due to the circumstances, Lu Jiefen had to put up with Ning Fan’s challenges time after time. It was not because he was magnanimous but because he could still tolerate it!

However, having high tolerance did not mean that he would not harbor hatred!

“Zhou Ming, it’s you! Did you attain the Golden Body Realm? No. You didn’t! Your physical body is still not at the Golden Body Realm. It has been rumored that a body cultivator at the Golden Body Realm will have ten thousand traces of golden light shining on their bodies when hurling their fists. You haven’t attained the Golden Body Realm!”

Lu Jiefen intentionally reminded the other three experts that Ning Fan was not a Golden Body Realm cultivator.

He might be pretending to be afraid of Ning Fan, but he was inwardly planning to kill him using a borrowed knife.

The reason why he pointed out that Ning Fan was not at the Golden Body Realm was because he wanted to let the other three look down on Ning Fan and kill him!

“Zhou Ming, even though you have the protection of Yun Tianjue and the Rain Palace and three Void Glimpse Stage spiritual puppets, you are basically not putting the Ghost Eye Clan, the Mist Horn Clan and the Lan Ling Sect in your eyes by openly interfering in their struggle for the slate today! If you leave right now, I will consider our old relationship and ask for mercy on your behalf to spare your life.”

Lu Jiefen might be speaking for Ning Fan on the surface, but he was actually laying it on heavily and making a false claim that the reason why Ning Fan appeared here was to seize the slate.

After hearing that Ning Fan had come for the slate, the expressions of the two Void Glimpse Stage old monsters of the Ghost Eye Clan and the Mist Horn Clan turned a little grim.

“Lu Jiefen, your pleading for mercy on his behalf is useless! If this Zhou Ming came here to seize the devil statue slate, no matter who he is, he is the great enemy of our Mist Horn Clan and Ghost Eye Clan. He shall be eliminated! Even if he has three Void Glimpse Stage spiritual puppets, it’s not enough to make us fear him!”

Before Ning Fan could state his intentions of coming here, Lu Jiefen had already made the situation confusing, trying to scheme into making Ning Fan and the experts from the Ghost Eye Clan and the Mist Horn Clan fight among themselves.

After he kills Ning Fan with a borrowed knife, he would have a greater chance of seizing that slate to see what secrets exactly the slate held.

Ning Fan’s eyes flashed with a cold light.

This Lu Jiefen certainly didn’t change. His ambition is not small and he always likes to make use of others.

He had used Li Ban and the other demon generals. He had used the White Devil Sect. He had used everybody that he could make use of.

In the past, he dared to scheme to try to snatch the emperor’s star. Now, he even dared to scheme in trying to seize the devil statue slate. Apparently, there is nothing he wouldn’t dare to do.

“It’s clear that I must not spare him again today! If he obtains power in the future, he will certainly be a nuisance and he will obviously find me to settle an old score!”

Ning Fan had already activated his killing intent. Today, he would definitely kill Lu Jiefen.

Originally, he planned on negotiating with them kindly and peacefully. However, it seemed like there was no need for negotiation anymore.

It was the Ghost Eye Clan and the Mist Horn Clan who sought for trouble themselves!

He gently placed his hand on Yue Lingkong’s shoulder and said gently.

“Yue Er, if you fight the four of them on your own, how long do you need to defeat them?”

“At most, the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. I will certainly beat the life out of them!” Yue Lingkong revealed a look of confidence and arrogance. She took a step forward and she then vanished like a ray of faint moonlight, dashing quickly towards her opponents.

“What?!”

All of the four experts including Lu Jiefen were greatly astonished. Judging from Ning Fan’s words, Ning Fan was not going to use his three Void Refinement Realm spiritual puppets this time in interfering with the Six-Winged Clan’s predicament. Instead, he planned on letting Yue Lingkong, who was just a female cultivator, to face the four of them on her own.

In their eyes, Yue Lingkong was only a Half-Step Void Refinement Realm expert. This would be a fight between a Half-Step Void Refinement Realm against two Void Glimpse Stage experts and two Illusory Void Stage experts. She actually still claimed that she could defeat the four of them in just the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. It was indeed an extremely arrogant remark!

“Kill!”

Lu Jiefen and the other three experts turned into four rays of moving light and immediately surrounded Yue Lingkong.

Since Yue Lingkong had come to seek death, they naturally would not hold back!

Especially Lu Jiefen, as a hint of viciousness flashed in his eyes.

He had heard that Yue Lingkong was Ning Fan’s woman. If she dies, it would certainly make Ning Fan extremely broken-hearted. It would achieve his objective of taking revenge.

“In the past, I was just a Half-Step Void Refinement Realm cultivator and I was not as strong as Yue Lingkong. However, after obtaining the devil pill from the Ghost Eye Clan, I have already touched the threshold of the Void Refinement Realm. Now, I can already be considered as an Illusory Void Stage expert. Besides, I still have the help of two Void Glimpse Stage experts and another Illusory Void Stage expert. Killing Yue Lingkong will be as easy as raising my hand!”

Lu Jiefen secretly fished out a golden dart burning with purple flames. As he imbued his magic power into it, he threw it at Yue Lingkong, attempting to attack her stealthily.

His move did not escape from Yue Lingkong’s spirit sense at all. Instead, her expression showed a hint of contempt.

“Lu Jiefen, you are still so weak and despicable… I don’t care if you harm anyone else. But if you try to harm Little Cucumber, I’ll kill you!”

Yue Lingkong’s face was as cold as ice. Her presence emanated a terrifying killing intent. Facing the joint attacks of the four experts, she raised her hands and summoned four traces of silk-like moon rays. Then, she lashed the four of them with them.

When those moon rays which were as light as cotton fell into Yue Lingkong’s hands, they turned into the deadliest weapons.

*Bang* *Bang* *Bang* *Bang*

The four traces of moon rays struck the bodies of the four old monsters. The force was extremely close to a single strike from a Void Inquiry Stage expert!

Four traces of earth-shattering explosions were heard from the four cardinal directions. Upon receiving the attack, the chest armors of the two Void Glimpse Stage experts broke and they both suffered some minor injuries. As for Lu Jiefen and the other Illusory Void Stage experts, their physical bodies were nearly destroyed. Both of them took some serious damage, particularly Lu Jiefen who received a ‘special treatment’ from Yue Lingkong!

A trace of moon ray grievously injured Lu Jiefen’s demon soul, making him cough out blood incessantly. After taking that hit, he was already not that far away from death!

The four of them could not believe that Yue Lingkong, who was rumored to be only a Half-Step Void Refinement Realm cultivator, would actually be an Early Void Refinement Realm old monster. Moreover, she was still the kind of expert that was unrivalled among all Void Glimpse Stage experts. Her strength gave the Void Glimpse Stage old monsters from the Mist Horn Clan and the Ghost Eye Clan a massive sense of danger!

Ning Fan nodded his head. Yue Lingkong’s ferocity and strength were within his expectation.

However, Fen Chi’s tiny primordial spirit who was standing on his shoulder covered her mouth with her small hands. She was filled with utter disbelief.

Before this, she only thought that Yue Lingkong was just being arrogant saying that she could take on the four of them on her own. She only thought that she was just boasting by saying those shocking words. Now, she realized how strong Yu Lingkong was exactly and the words she spoke earlier were all true!

“This is the true strength of Venerated Moon! Even the great elder is definitely not her opponent!”

“However, I still can’t understand why such a strong expert would be willing to become Venerated Ming’s woman. She must be a lofty and haughty person. Why would she be willing to offend the three great forces just for Venerated Ming…? Does Venerated Ming really have such a great charm? Why can’t I notice it at all?”

Fen Chi’s beautiful eyes were filled with utter amazement.

She carefully looked at Ning Fan from head to toe. As she looked at Ning Fan’s weak and feeble figure, she found it even more difficult to understand.

She could not see what good qualities Ning Fan had that could make Yue Lingkong follow him so resolutely.
