- Chapter 35 (2/2)

Moksha Emperor gritted his teeth and used his powers once again, letting out a sky splitting roar. A threatening demonic force flooded out, sending the Rain World experts retreating back in panic.

Using this opportunity, he stepped through the white bone door, traveling through the void to return to the Demon World.

He came to kill Old Monster but his plan was destroyed by a junior.

In his heart, the list of people he must kill increased by one− Ning Fan!

“Little junior, one hundred years later, when I return from the Ancient Heaven Land, I will dismember you into a million pieces!”

The giant door closed, Moksha Emperor fled!

Although he was said to flee, none of the Rain World experts dared to chase. Forty years ago, Moksha Emperor also came to Rain World secretly, no one knew what he did here, but he was pursued by three Void Fragmentation experts, seven Void Refinement, and nine Spirit Severing experts. Angered, Moksha Emperor lashed out at the nineteen people trailing him, killing sixteen of them, and three Void Fragmentation experts were gravely injured.

Only the three Void Fragmentation experts escaped and survived…. Although Moksha Emperor was heavily injured at that moment, there wasn’t an expert there that could block him if he decided to fight back in desperation…..

“Humph, he escaped…” the red-haired old man snorted coldly, sounding like an experienced old-timer. Despite that, relief was evident in his eyes. Obviously, he didn’t really want to fight with Moksha Emperor.

The beggar young man – Yun Bushu, thought of Mokha Emperor’s parting words and revealed an interested look.

Moksha Emperor’s warning was intended for whom? …. Could Moksha Emperor’s injury be related to this person? What sort of individual could wound the majestic Godly King of the Demon World!

Yun Bushu gazed over Seven Apricot City, then shook his head.

Within Seven Apricot City, the highest cultivation level was a mere Harmonious Spirit. It appears as though the expert who injured Moksha Emperor has left.

When Yun Bushu’s divine sense swept across Ning Fan, he was slightly surprised and stopped two seconds longer on Ning Fan’s body. There was a feeling of closeness with Ning Fan….

“Illusion….?” Shaking his head to clear his thoughts, Yun Bushu formed hand seals and initiated a healing technique with a large area of effect – Void level skill ‘Rain Sky Art’, covering a hundred li radius of Seven Apricot City, healing the injuries of the unconscious evil cultivators below.

“Third Prince, why should you waste your magical power for a bunch of evil cultivators!” The red-haired old man was dissatisfied. The Rain World Godly King was the leader of the righteous faction, however, this Third Prince never adhered to his position and status, swimming between the righteous and evil factions, causing untold headaches for the Godly King.

“Evil factions are also my Rain World’s subjects….haha, let’s go….”

The group of experts split the void and left.

In Seven Apricot City, the evil cultivators started to awaken after being healed by Yun Bushu’s Rain Sky Art and were shocked by the ruins around the city, sudden feelings luck kicked in for being able to survive the ordeal.

To survive after Seven Apricot City was attacked by such a horrible expert was indeed lucky.

Ning Fan laid next to Old Monster, no energy even to move his pinky. Next to him, there was heartache as well as comfort in the Old Monster’s eyes.

“Who is that person….?” Ning Fan finally asked the question.

“Han Nietian, this father’s adopted son….now, it looks like he’s the Demon World’s Moksha Emperor. Little brat Ning, you snatched back this old man’s life. This father really did well taking you as a disciple….”

“In the end, I did not block that person’s attack. He’s too strong and crushed your entire body’s meridians and veins, I was unable to stop it….”

“You are only at the Harmonious Spirit realm, what do you expect? Fight with Moksha Emperor? Who do you think you are? It is already enough that you could save my life from his hands….This father is tired, sleep for a while. A few days later, go to the Sinister Sparrow Sect, bring the three Black Demon Spiritual Guards with you. I’ll leave the Seven Apricot City in your hands… This father’s cultivation is destroyed; I’ll stay here and accompany Xiaomei…”

Old Monster’s veins and meridians were crushed, how could Ning Fan not tell? Absolute Yin poison although a poison, in fact, is quite mild. It was easy to remove it, just the dan recipe was a little rare and the Yin Yang dan refining method had long been lost…..

Thus, a four revolution dan to treat the Absolute Yin poison was more than enough.

But now, Old Monster’s veins and meridians were shattered by Moksha Emperor… rebuilding them was not hard, the difficult thing is removing the demonic qi inside Old Monster’s body. With Ning Fan’s Harmonious Spirit strength, it was impossible. This was a fact, unless he reached the Void Fragmentation level or possessed the techniques and abilities of a Void Fragmentation expert. If not, he simply could not do anything.

Or refining a six revolution dan could get rid of the demonic qi …..but this method was far beyond Ning Fan’s ability.

“Master, if my cultivation advances, I will help you restore your meridians.”

“…….” Old Monster did not answer, lacking the breath to do so.

“A hundred years later, when Moksha Emperor comes again, I will make him repentant! At that time, I won’t be in the Harmonious Spirit realm anymore. He and I, who is the ant is still undecided!”

“……….” Old Monster still did not answer, and did not breathe; keeping his eyes closed as if he was…..dead.

Ning Fan’s heart tightened as sorrow crept up. Could the arrogant Old Monster that swaggered everywhere in this world have died just like this?!

As Ning Fan grew increasingly anxious, Old Monster suddenly opened his eyes with a ‘shuaaa’ and looked at Ning Fan like he wanted to swallow Ning Fan whole.

“Right, when you seized the Whitebone Flame, you used the Soul Burning effect! You took this father’s Soul Burning iron! This father suffered a loss! Little Ning Brat, you cannot be such a shameless human!”

Old Monster recovered some of his spirit, pressed his lips together and no longer spoke. So, he was actually struggling about this matter. (editor: haha gotta love the greedy old man)

This light-hearted Old Monster…. Experienced true love and death, was betrayed by his adopted son, had his meridians and veins shattered…. But he could still laugh, maintaining some innocence.

This is a realm ah! The realm of positivity that was enough to make Ning Fan speechless!

Author’s Note:

One must live like Old Monster. Life is not always eight or nine points out of ten, dare to love and dare to hate, only then will one live freely. Even if there is deep blood feud, one must not be blinded by hatred. Otherwise, there is only more to lose.
