- Chapter 163 2 (2/2)

The Old Scholar’s consciousness was connected with the disk arrays. Therefore, when the disk arrays cracked, he immediately spurted out blood ceaselessly from his mouth, suffering serious injuries. Judging from the damage he took, he would need at least tens of years of cultivation to regain his previous cultivation realm!

Get lost!

Under the heavenly pressure, those words made the Old Scholar feel inferior when facing Ning Fan, as if he faced a Spirit Severing Realm cultivator instead. His body trembled uncontrollably with fear.

Ning Fan told him, a reputable Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, to get lost!

Although he didn’t want to give up, he had a feeling that if he didn’t follow Ning Fan’s instruction, his life would undoubtedly end there!

When he saw Ning Fan had a blood-red jade slip2 in his palm, the feeling he had earlier magnified even more!

A vicious killing intent was concealed within the jade slip. The killing intent would be able to tear the Old Scholar into pieces!

“Fellow Daoist Zhou Ming, please show mercy! An old fellow like me will immediately leave this place! Fellow Daoist Liu, hurry up and let’s go!”

This time, the Old Scholar no longer held the arrogance he had earlier when he denounced Ning Fan publicly for his violation of laws. There was only a single thought in his mind, to leave as soon as possible.

He decided that he’s not going to have any more business with Zhou Ming no matter what his identity was or what had he done in Wei Country. He even hoped that he would never have anything to do with Zhou Ming in the future.

In the Old Scholar’s opinion, Zhou Ming was unfathomable!

Furthermore, he had a guess on Zhou Ming’s identity. Although his guess was incorrect, his guess was something that made the messengers of Rain Palace to have no audacity to oppose him.

Every cultivator stared in disbelief upon seeing both the representatives from Rain Palace left hastily.

After this battle,there’s no way ordinary Nascent Soul Realm cultivators would underestimate Zhou Ming of Wei Country!

…

Two escaping lights were fleeing for their lives. It was only after fleeing for a few days that the Old Scholar let out a sigh of relief and slowed down as they were already tens of thousands of li from Yuanjue Valley.

“Old Song, are we going to leave just like that?” A beautiful woman on a mountain peak asked after her magic power recovered.

“Or what, do you want us to seek death in Yuanjue Valley?” Song Yi replied harshly. When he recalled Ning Fan’s methods, he would still feel frightful about it.

“Were we going to die? Old Song might have suffered injuries, but it is not to the extent of dying. We are Nascent Soul Realm cultivators and we have inexhaustible life-saving means. Even if our bodies were to be destroyed, we would still be able to escape with our Nascent Soul. No matter how strong that Zhou Ming was, he wouldn’t have the capability to kill us. Apart from that, our identities are reputable as we are divine messengers from the Rain Palace. Perhaps he can kill us, but he would not dare to do so.” The beautiful woman answered with a hint of disapproval to the Old Scholar’s words. She concluded that while she might not be Ning Fan’s opponent, her identity as Rain Palace’s messenger made her feel better than Ning Fan.

“He couldn’t be killed! The means he possessed were strange and unpredictable. My famous technique, the Four Swords Formation was crushed by his sword sense. The Lightning Sacrifice Formation that I arranged to pin him down was broken down by his lightning-based technique. At the end, he even took out a jade slip. If I wasn’t wrong, there’s an all-out attack at Spirit Severing Realm stored in it. Not to mention me, even a Mid Nascent Soul Realm cultivator would die after receiving that attack!”

There was still a lingering fear within the Old Scholar heart. He quickly continued by expressing the biggest but most incorrect guess in his mind.

“Additionally, if I’m right, this Zhou Ming might be the descendant of that lord. That lord bears the same surname with him.”

“Which lord?” The woman curiously asked.

“The lord who was born in Rain Palace but died in the Endless Sea. He was the person that the Divine Emperor was fearful of. He possessed the divine veins of lightning, condensed the divine star of lightning, and mastered lightning. His Lightning Sacrifice Technique was made to be unrivalled for other cultivators at his realm. Once, he had fought the three Emperors of the Sword World. Although he did not win, he managed to remain undefeated in that fight. Rumor has it that he was the first person to achieve Void Fragmentation Realm in the Rain World tens of thousands of years ago!”

“What?! Old Song, are you saying that he’s the descendant of ‘Thunder Emperor Bu Zhou’?!”

“Shhh. Don’t speak of it so carelessly. You must not reveal this to the others. All in all, I have no business in this matter anymore. I am just an insignificant messenger from Rain Palace. I don’t want to be involved in it…”

The fear in Song Yi did not recede. In fact, the fear intensified whenever he thought of Ning Fan’s means, strength and “identity”.

As a matter of fact, Ning Fan got the pseudonym of “Zhou Ming” from the Demon Sinister Forest. It absolutely had no relation with “Thunder Emperor Bu Zhou”. It was just a coincidence that Ning Fan would be regarded as the descendant of the emperor.

However, Song Yi might not have the guts to face Ning Fan anymore in his entire life. For him, Ning Fan was too terrifying!

In fact, the divine messengers of Rain Palace were nothing but ants when comparing them with Thunder Emperor Bu Zhou. They should be regarded as coolies3 of Rain Palace.
