Chapter 215 (1/2)
Bei Xiaoman’s “Purity”!When Ning Fan appeared in the sky above Xuan Wu City, a heavy silence fell upon the city.
Even though the sea breeze tasted a little salty, it still could not get rid of the stench of blood coming from his body. The massive Violent Qi he accumulated condensed into traces of red light flashing around his body.
Under his gaze, no cultivators in the city dared to utter a single word!
That intangible devil prestige even made some old monsters gulped fearfully!
Zhou Ming! This person killed three tower masters of the Lost World Palace by himself! None of the three Peak Nascent Soul Realm experts could escape death!
The strongest expert below the Spirit Severing Realm! This person truly deserves that title!
“Dismiss…” Ning Fan’s voice was both deep and faint. However, the technique of reverberation made his faint voice echo loudly in the air.
The next second, all cultivators hurriedly cupped their fists towards Ning Fan and left.
The city which was originally noisy and crowded became quiet and empty because of the one word that Ning Fan uttered.
He shut his eyes and adjusted his feelings. The indifferent look on his face slowly faded.
This feeling is good. Now, I suppose no one would dare to ask for trouble from me in the Endless Sea.
The notorious reputation of his terrifying power was even more effective and practical than the young masters who always relied on publicizing their uncommon background to gain respect and protection.
In the Endless Sea which was also known as the Grave of Cultivators, having powerful backgrounds and face were useless. Power and devil prestige were the only assurances for protection!
After he landed on the ground, he returned to the female corpse’s side.
Her original calm expression changed immediately after she noticed the paleness of Ning Fan’s face. She stretched her ice-cold hand and touched his cheeks.
“Light…injured…?”
“Don’t worry. It’s just some minor injuries. Let’s go. Since I’ve helped the Lost World Palace finish off three potential threats, it doesn’t make any sense if Lu Qing is not grateful for my deeds.
A faint smile decorated Ning Fan’s face. He held the delicate hand of the female corpse and sauntered along the empty street.
The Southern Pill Tower of the Lost World Palace.
Mo Yun’s facial expression was complicated. It was hard to tell what he was feeling right now. As for Yu Long, the old ancestor, he was on tenterhooks.
All the twenty-seven Third Revolution pill masters and five Fourth Revolution pill masters held their tongues. The atmosphere was solemn.
After the news about the deaths of the three tower masters was spread, everybody was discussing about how to deal with the murderer, Zhou Ming.
Everyone could tell that Lu Qing was actually borrowing Ning Fan’s hands to kill the three tower masters as he had not appeared to mediate between the two parties from the beginning.
To put it in another way, Zhou Ming was the one who publicly murdered the three tower masters while Lu Qing was the one who incited him to do so in the dark.
If it was Lu Qing’s implied intention to do so, Zhou Ming would be considered guiltless. Instead, he performed a meritorious service!
But Zhou Ming must not be rewarded and commended in public. As the three experts who died were members of the Lost World Palace, if Lu Qing were to reward Zhou Ming, his actions would tarnish the reputation of the Lost World Palace.
Plotting a murder on the pill masters of his own clan with a foreign devil because they held ulterior motives… This was indeed a disgraceful label.
Therefore, Zhou Ming was in an unknown situation. He could neither be rewarded nor punished…
His unprecedented achievement of eliminating three Peak Nascent Soul Realm experts alone made him to be recognized as the strongest expert below the Spirit Severing Realm. With that kind of strength, perhaps not even a genuine Early Spirit Severing Realm expert would be capable of capturing him.
If anyone tries to catch him and fails, they would only create another formidable enemy for themselves. It would not really be worth it to offend a ruthless devil lord like him.
To others, he was a mad man. There would be bloodbath wherever he goes…
The bloodbath of the Hill of Death, the bloodbath of the Pill Cauldron Gate and the bloodbath of the Xuan Wu City… Furthermore, anyone who was observant would have recalled that on the day when Seventh Elder of the Demon Sealing Sect, Eagle Crane Elder died, Zhou Ming dashed out of the immortal island…
The murder of the Seventh Elder of the Demon Sealing Sect was most likely done by him!
As the saying goes, injuring all of an enemy’s fingers is not as effective as chopping off one of them. If the Lost World Palace were to send people after Zhou Ming and fails to kill him, they would offend him and it would be a foolish action!
As such, all the old monsters decided to remain silent in the meeting to discuss how to deal with Zhou Ming.
Speaking something wrong would only render troubles to oneself.
All of them knew it and none of them were fools…
Lu Qing was sipping a cup of fragrant Chinese tea while knocking on the jade table with his finger. He looked calm and idle, however, the rapid pace of his finger knocking on the table revealed the opposite. Deep inside, he was unsettled. From the start, he did not hold any intention of capturing Zhou Ming. He was just hesitating on what kind of benefits he should secretly give Zhou Ming as a reward.
In the fierce battle just now, this man appeared to be purposely displaying the two types of Earth Vein Demonic Flames that he possessed.
As Lu Qing recalled about that, he would feel headache.
From the perspective of the other cultivators, Zhou Ming seems to have showed off the flames to daunt the three tower masters. However, he was not a person who would show his trump cards easily before the battle started. He was trying to send a signal to Lu Qing that he was able to devour two types of Earth Vein Demonic Flames and he had taken a fancy on the Green Phoenix Flame!
“It’s so troublesome…”
Indeed. It was truly bothersome.
If Zhou Ming’s power was just enough to kill only Bei He, Lu Qing would still regard him as a significant expert for his exceptional pill refining skills. Based on the experience and the understanding he had of pill masters, the most he would give were a few recipes to refine Fifth Revolution pills in order to send them away.
Unluckily, Zhou Ming killed the three of them. Furthermore, the battle ended too quickly. His power and speed of eliminating his enemies were uncommon. Lu Qing felt that if he were to battle against the three tower masters, the result he would produce would likely be the same as Zhou Ming’s.
This person really is unfathomable…
Now, this unfathomable man wanted the Green Phoenix Flame and Lu Qing did not dare to disregard him.
My plan of borrowing his hands to kill them worked out well. But in a way, it made things worse.
After the three tower masters who had been eyeing the Green Phoenix Flame vanished, here comes Zhou Ming…
“Hai…It’s so difficult…”
Lu Qing took a glance at Bei Xiaoman who was unhappily eating melon seeds and a bitter smile formed on his face.
“Mistress. What is your opinion on how we should treat Zhou Ming…”
