INCOMPLETE. I WILL NEED A LITTLE MORE TIME TO COMPLETE IT. STAY TUNED.

Chapter 489: Red-Haired Cauldron

All of the treasures and resources of the Mist Horn Clan including the immortal jade, spiritual medicines and devil scripture were taken away by Ning Fan.

Under the restraint of the slave marks, the entire Mist Horn Clan could not leave Tai Chi Devil City for the rest of their lives. Even the cultivation level of the two Void Refinement Realm experts, Gui Jiao and Yin Gong, were incapacitated. Both of them were imprisoned in the city without being able to leave the place until they die.

One of the four great devil clans that was once prominent and famous had fallen in one night and become Ning Fan’s slaves. This incident shocked the world. Su Yan did not have any objections against how Ning Fan dealt with her clan. She just brought her twelve silver-scaled horned dragons with her and followed Ning Fan to leave the Mist Horn Clan.

On this day, a wooden boat which radiated dazzling silver rays suddenly appeared one million zhang* (3.33m per zhang) below the Hidden Ocean. It soared towards the sky and flew among the peak of the clouds.

This wooden boat was a rare travel treasure that was used by ancient cultivators. It was pulled by 12 horned dragons and its speed was nearly at the same level as that of a Void Pierce Stage expert.

Without a doubt, it was a technique that Su Yan performed. As the former clan leader of the Mist Horn Clan, it was not strange for her to have a travel treasure of excellent grade.

Ning Fan stood at the bow of the silver boat with Su Yan and little Ming Que standing behind him. As for the group of Divine Transformation Realm cultivators who followed Ming Que, they were responsible for driving the silver boat.

How grand and impressive it was when the boat flew with twelve Half-Step Void Refinement Realm silver-scaled horned dragons pulling it.

All the cultivators they passed by along their journey could feel the formidable aura force of their silver boat from afar. None of them dared to approach the boat at all as they were worried that they might provoke the powerful experts on the boat.

Only a few old monsters managed to recognize the origin of the silver boat and they surmised that Su Yan and Ning Fan would be on the boat. They tried to catch up with the silver boat to greet Ning Fan but the boat completely outrun them.

Ning Fan did not pay attention to the cultivators they met along the journey. Since the beginning of the journey, he had been keeping his eyes close without uttering a single word. He placed the bell orchid beside his ear, listening to the crisp ringing sound it produced as the wind blew. Internally, he was planning for his following step in his cultivation.

His ancient devil cultivation level which was at the Mid Reckless Devil Realm was equivalent to the Second Level of the Golden Body Realm. However, it was far stronger than the latter and its strength was nearly on par with that of a body cultivator who was at the Third Level of the Golden Body Realm.

Even though his physical body had broken through to the Reckless Devil Realm, his magic power was still at the Half-Step Void Refinement Realm. At the end of the day, he still needed to truly break through to the Void Refinement Realm.

After he successfully attains that cultivation level, he still needed to make preparations to gradually advance towards the Void Fragmentation Realm.

Forty years had passed since he left Yue Country and in these forty years, he managed to cultivate up to this level. Only he himself was aware of the difficulty and hardship to attain his current achievements.

When his cultivation level had come to this point, if he wanted to make another advancement by attaining the Void Fragmentation Realm, the difficulty would be beyond anyone’s imagination.

Among the Nine Worlds of the mortal world, only Void Fragmentation Realm experts were the beings who truly stood at the pinnacle of cultivation. Everyone below the Void Fragmentation Realm was just as insignificant as an ant.

For now, breaking through to the Void Fragmentation Realm still seemed a little unreachable to Ning Fan.

“Pills, Dao fruits, human cauldrons… If I need to break through to the Void Fragmentation Realm, all of these three items are necessary. It has been a long time since I captured human cauldrons for cultivation. With my current level, I at least need to capture Void Refinement Realm human cauldrons in order to have an effective cultivation session. Unfortunately, the number of female Void Refinement Realm cultivators in this vast Rain World is so less that I can count on my fingers. They aren’t enough for me for my cultivation at all…”

Ning Fan opened his eyes and glanced at Su Yan. Then, he shook his head in silence.

To him, Su Yan was a perfect human cauldron. Be it her cultivation level or her appearance, all of them were top-notch. However, it was impossible for him to pluck her because she was his devil concubine.

Sensing Ning Fan stealing a glance at her, Su Yan made a soft smile. She elegantly stroked the hair on her temples and asked.

“There is lust in Master’s eyes. Do you want me to give you a service?”

The sudden appearance of the lust to pluck a human cauldron in Ning Fan’s eyes did not escape from Su Yan’s wise and sharp eyes.

“I don’t need it at the moment.”

Ning Fan smiled faintly and shook his head. Even though he had some favorable feelings for Su Yan, their relationship was not like the romantic relationship between two lovers. Besides, since he did not consider her as his human cauldron, he certainly would not make out with her recklessly.

*Bang*

Out of the blue, a loud crumbling sound echoed from somewhere on the clouds in the distance. Parts of the space were literally torn apart by someone.

From that place with the broken spaces, there were the strong power fluctuations caused by the battle of three Void Inquiry Stage experts. The waves of power emitted from their battle were enough to strike fear into any Divine Transformation Realm cultivators.

Immediately, every Divine Transformation Realm cultivators on the silver boat began to feel tense and nervous. Ming Que’s little face also became stern and she stopped chewing her pill biscuits.

Su Yan took out her magic weapon at once and stood in front of Ning Fan with vigilance. Her brows were tightly knitted together.

Ning Fan’s eyes turned solemn. He spread out his spirit sense and discovered that three Void Inquiry Stage old monsters tore apart the hollow space at one hundred thousand li* (500m per li) ahead of them. One of them was pursuing the other two experts that were trying to flee.

When Ning Fan felt the power waves of the battle at first, he linked it up with the killing intent that was targeted at him before this.

However, when he took a closer look at it, he realized that these three Void Inquiry Stage old monsters had nothing to do with that killing qi.

Two of the Void Inquiry Stage old monsters wore a set of green robes. Originally, they had white hair and a ruddy complexion. Now, however, the both of them looked battered and exhausted. Their bodies were full of injuries and their qi was weak. They were running away desperately and fleeing in any path without choosing.

The person who was pursuing the two green-robed elderly experts was a red-haired lady who exuded strength yin qi. Her complexion was pale white but her lips were red like blood. Her eyes looked seductive but ferocious.

That red-haired lady’s cultivation level was at the Void Inquiry Stage, just like the other two elderly experts but her strength was nearly at the unrivalled level of the Void Inquiry Stage, which was far above the strength of the two experts.

Moreover, due to the severe injuries that the two elderly experts were suffering, it would only be a matter of time for that red-haired lady to hunt them down without any accident. It was definitely impossible for the two experts to defeat her.

Ning Fan’s expression changed and ordered to turn the bow of the silver boat around. He did not have the intention to interfere in their battle.

The two green-robed experts fighting against the red-haired lady in midair earlier but they were not her opponent. In fact, they almost died in her hands. Thus, they could only break the hollow space and fled with their lives. However, they suddenly noticed Ning Fan and the others were at the scene.

As soon as they saw Ning Fan and Su Yan who were two Void Inquiry Stage experts on the silver boat, they looked like they had just seen a life-saving straw. Obviously, they were trying to seek for their help.

Even though they did not know who Ning Fan was, they recognized Su Yan, a Void Refinement Realm expert of Rain World. They knew how powerful she was.

Now, the two of them only had a single thought in their minds – to avoid the red-haired lady’s attacks at all costs. Thus, they boarded the silver boat and begged for Su Yan’s help while panting for breath.

“You are Fairy Su of the Mist Horn Clan, aren’t you? We, the ‘Two Elders of Ling Nan’, are currently in trouble. It’s a coincidence to meet Fairy Su here. Fairy Su and this fellow Daoist over here, please lend us a hand. We will very grateful for you if you are willing us to save us from the danger!”

The two elders had no idea about Ning Fan’s strength. However, they were aware that if Su Yan could help them, it would not be a problem for them to deal with that red-haired lady.

“The Two Elders of Ling Nan?” Su Yan was slightly stunned, as if she had heard of the name of these two individuals. However, judging from her expression, she didn’t seem to be very familiar with them.

Ning Fan frowned. After the two elderly experts boarded the silver boat, the red-haired lady who was closely chasing after them had also targeted her killing intent on the boat and begun delivering attacks towards the boat with no reserve. Her attacks forced the silver boat to stop its flight.

“Anyone who tries to protect the two of them shall die!” The red-haired lady shouted, unleashing an intense killing intent.

Evidently, the red-haired lady had already viewed Ning Fan and the others as the accomplices of the two elders of Ling Nan and she decided to wipe them out entirely.

The red-haired lady held a massive blood-red sickle that had the shape of a crescent moon. Each time she wielded her sickle, the blood-red attack she sent out to the silver boat carried the destructive power that was on par with that of an unrivalled Void Inquiry Stage expert’s attack. It was strong enough to grievously injure ordinary Void Glimpse Stage cultivators.

Su Yan took a lotus step forward and raised one of his hands, waving a purple copper dragon horn. The horn produced purplish red rays which destroyed the attacks from the red-haired lady. The situation looked like both Su Yan and the red-haired lady had same level of combat power.

Although Ning Fan did not intend to save the two elderly experts, the red-haired lady’s actions made his eyes turn cold.

Moments earlier, he was still worrying that he did not have any suitable human cauldron to capture. Since this red-haired lady attacked him and his group without distinguishing between right and wrong, he would not mind keeping her as his first Void Refinement Realm human cauldron!

“Yan Er, come back. Let me deal with her.”

“Why did you call me Yan Er…” Su Yan’s cheeks turned slightly red. Her apricot eyes flickered. However, she secretly concealed the redness on her face and returned to the boat obediently.

As for Ning Fan, he leapt forward soared into the sky above the silver boat and dashed towards the attacks from the red-haired lady.

This scene had gone beyond the two elderly experts’ expectations.

The two of them were the rogue cultivators of Rain World. Throughout the years, they had been travelling around, seeking and exploring the historical remnants of ancient cultivators in order to find opportunities.

They rarely paid attention to the news and rumors circulating in the world. Therefore, they were unaware of Ning Fan’s name which rose to fame among the Void Refinement Realm experts in Rain World.

Even though they could sense that Ning Fan had a Void Inquiry Stage qi, they could also tell he had just attained that cultivation level not long ago and his foundation was somewhat shallow. Thus, they did not expect Ning Fan to be very powerful, much less fight against the red-haired lady head-on.

From their perspective, the only person who could resist the red-haired lady at the scene was only Su Yan, the clan leader of the Mist Horn Clan. Of course, since they kept themselves away from the latest news, they still had no idea about the incident that had happened to the Mist Horn Clan.

They heaved a sigh of relief after seeing Su Yan had an equal strength compared to the red-haired lady. They were prepared to help Su Yan to fight the red-haired lady alongside with her.

However, they did not expect that Ning Fan would call Su Yan back at this moment and face the red-haired lady on his own. From the two elderly experts’ view, Ning Fan’s action was undoubtedly extremely foolish.

“This fellow Daoist, the red-haired lady is very strong and she is almost at the unrivalled level of the Void Inquiry Stage. She’s not someone whom you can fight…”

Before they could finish speaking, they were suddenly startled with their mouth agape.

They saw Ning Fan handle the red-haired lady’s sickle attacks more easily than Su Yan.

By just raising his palm, he could crush the blood moon slash from the lady using his physical strength.

By just hurling his fists, he could deliver an attack carrying the unrivalled power among Void Inquiry Stage and keep the lady on tenterhooks.

Based on the strength which Ning Fan displayed, he clearly was not any weaker than Su Yan and certainly was an unrivalled being among Void Inquiry Stage experts!

The two elderly experts no longer dared to underestimated Ning Fan to the slightest. Both of them realized that they had been belittled his strength too much.

However, there was something they found it a little hard to understand. If Ning Fan had such great power, he should have already become a famous individual in Rain World. No matter how uninterested they were in the matters of Rain World, they more or less should have heard of his name. But why did Ning Fan look so unfamiliar to them?

“How dare you stop me from killing people? Have you grown tired of living?!” The red-haired lady flew into a rage. She realized that her attacks actually did not have any effect on Ning Fan while the latter was suppressing her instead.

Under her brimming wrath, layers of blood-red baleful qi suddenly rose around her body.

The baleful qi seeped into her red hair. Then, her elegant and soft long hair seemed like it had come to life. Countless strands of her hair turned into blood-red snakes. Each of them opened their bloody mouths wide and blasted out blood-red flames at Ning Fan.
