Chapter 250 2 (1/2)

The mysterious man in front of him took out his camouflage under the blood-red moon and shapeshifted into a brawny man who wore a mail made from thescales of beasts.

Ning Fan recognized this man from Lu Bei’s memories. He was the person whom Lu Bei associated with when he was trying to betray the Luo Yun Tribe.

After Jing Yun was discovered by Ning Fan and overtaken by the latter with exceptional traverse technique, he felt an extreme pressure as if he was being weighed down by the weight of Mount Tai when he exchanged glances with the latter. Inwardly, he was deeply fascinated by the latter’s royal clan bloodline of a True Spirit.

It truly is the true bloodline of the royal clan as what the rumors claimed. The pressure is immense. It is mighty enough even if he is without anger…

However, Jing Yun’s lips curved into a smile in the next moment. The Lu Bei he knew in the past was definitely just a mediocre being, regardless of the latter’s innate potential or intelligence.

“You really aren’t Lu Bei! The Flame General was correct after all…”

“I have no idea what you are talking about…” Ning Fan’s expression remained unchanged. Because of the royal clan bloodline that he had awakened, many people began to suspect that Lu Bei’s identity had been changed.

However, the current Ning Fan did not think it was necessary for him to explain his true identity to the people of the Luo Yun Tribe.

He only had to prove two things. Firstly, he was a member of the demon race. Secondly, he was loyal to the Luo Yun Tribe.

And the two criteria were self-evident through his contribution to the Luo Yun’s victory in the Vast Meadow. As such, about the fact whether Ning Fan was Lu Bei or not, the Cloud General, Lu Daochen, would only turn a blind eye to it.

In other words, the mysterious man’s words failed to instill terror to Ning Fan.

“Hehe. If Fellow Daoist doesn’t understand, then it must be me who was babbling nonsense… Hehe. Brother Lu Bei, why don’t we go inside the valley and talk? The Flame General has a new mission for you…”

Jing Yun appeared to be very courteous. However, his words only invited a contemptuous smile from Ning Fan.

“I am not a three-year-old kid. Why am I going to enter the valley, knowing that a High Grade Spirit Severing Realm formation was established there while nearly a hundred Nascent Soul Realm demons are lying in wait for me there… Do you really think I am a fool?”

“Er…Hehe. I guess there is some misunderstandings, Brother Lu…”

Jing Yun’s expression became awkward, secretly feeling flabbergasted by Lu Bei’s keen foresight. The latter could even notice a High Grade Spirit Severing Realm formation that had been deliberately camouflaged.

Apparently, I can’t use the harsh method to acquire his royal clan bloodline.

Never mind. For the time being, I will first pass the mission from the Flame General to him. Once he finishes the mission, I will come up with another plan to seize his bloodline!

Ning Fan was longing for the Demon Marshal’s blood while countless Spirit Severing Realm demons were yearning for his royal clan bloodline.

“This jade slip stores the mission assigned by the Flame General. After you’ve gathered the item needed, you will then be qualified to join our Pure Flame Tribe. Aside from that, you will be promoted to become the Demon General of the Southern Light City!” Jing Yun clapped and a ray of fiery light shot towards Ning Fan. The jade slip was enveloped within.

However, the ray of fiery light which was comparable to a full-strike of a Spirit Severing Realm expert was deflected by Ning Fan with a flick of his sleeve.

After receiving the jade slip, he straight away demanded for his reward without even glancing at it.

“I want one hundred tuft of the ten thousand-year-old Blue Flame Grass!”

“This…Fine! But it’s better if you look at the mission first… At the day you accomplish the mission, I will bring what you want in the Luo Yun Province.

“You don’t have to worry when I should look at the mission. Goodbye…”

Ning Fan did not even give him a polite gesture when he vanished in a column of smoke.

After he left, Jing Yun’s expression turned gloomy. He waved his hand and the Nascent Soul Realm demons who hid in the valley revealed themselves.

“This man is alert and observant, but also arrogant at the same time. He seems to have forgotten his respect towards me. How dare he behave so rudely? Hmmph! Asking for reward from me without even taking a glance on the mission, huh?! But he still managed to see through it after all. Even so, little did he know that the significance of this mission can’t be compared with just one hundred tufts of Blue Flame Grass. But why does he want the Blue Flame Grass for…? Fine. I’ll let the Honorable Demon General to decide on this matter. Let’s leave for now… This is the border of the Luo Yun Tribe and Lie Tu Tribe. If we are found, it might stir up some troubles…”

…

In the Demon General’s residence, Ning Fan stayed outside of his room. Smiling mockingly, he summoned the Separation Slayer Sword from his glabella and hacked on the jade slip.

Just as the sword collided with the fiery-red jade slip, the jade slip emitted a buzzing sound, exposing a hidden trace of fiery-red demon intent which was burnt to nothingness by that cut.

The fiery-red demon sense stored a Late Spirit Severing Realm strike from the Flame General. It was not for taking Ning Fan’s life but to plant a demon seal in Ning Fan once he carelessly activates the jade slip so that he could be manipulated.

The reasons why the Flame General went through lots of trouble to entrap Ning Fan was of course because of his royal clan bloodline as well as ensuring the accomplishment of the duty without fail.

It was exactly why Ning Fan did not even cup his fists to Jing Yun when he left. As the saying goes, why should one be courteous to the person who comes with ill intentions.

However, it also showed that the Pure Flame Tribe seemed to have underestimated Ning Fan… Did they really think such a trivial technique was enough to subdue Ning Fan?

As the trace of fire sense was destroyed, the jade slip gradually lost its color and returned to its original appearance.
