Chapter 293 1 (2/2)

“Foolish wives! Didn’t I tell you not to disturb this brother in the southern region? Why are you standing here for? Get back to the house and wait for me on the kang1. I’ll give the both of you a great lesson once I get back!”

The black shadow was actually an honest-looking, boorish black man with fur all over his face. Even though he was scolding and cursing with his mouth, his fists did not remain still. With a punch, he blocked both attacks from the women. Upon collision, he did not budge an inch while the two females were sent flying to nearly one thousand zhang* away. Despite that, the strength he exerted was just right, not inflicting any damage on the two women other than offsetting their attacks.

On the other side, the black man changed the five fingers of his other hand into a claw and slashed at Ning Fan’s direction, tearing off the hollow space to create a barrier of Void Realm before Ning Fan’s fingers to stop him from advancing.

Ning Fan’s eyes slightly widened.

Without a doubt, this black man is that giant bear. His current appearance might be different, but his qi is the same as the bear I met earlier.

Wild Beasts cultivated their beast forms. However, when they were approaching the Void Refinement Realm, they would be able to shapeshift into a human form. As for demon cultivators, they might choose to cultivate their human forms, but they could also transform into their demon forms.

At the end of the Great Dao, everyone would eventually reach the same goal regardless of the means they used.

Ning Fan’s fingers were now at an inch away from the barrier of Void Realm. If he moves a little further, his fingers would then enter into the Void Realm and be shredded to pieces by its power… Ning Fan’s expression remained calm and composed. At this moment, he pulled back his fingers and retreated with a flap of his wings. From a distance, he stared at the black man.

If the black man were to harbor the thought to kill Ning Fan, he could have pushed the barrier of Void Realm towards Ning Fan. However, his actions showed that he did not intend to offend Ning Fan.

As for the reason he sent the two women far away, it was because he had clearly seen through the power of Ning Fan’s Yin Plucking Finger. Even though he was scolding his wives on the surface, he was actually protecting them in a rude and unconstrained manner.

“Husband! Hurry up and kill this person…”

“Shut up!”

The black man angrily shouted at the two women once more. Then, he turned his head and cast a deep stare at Ning Fan with his fists cupped.

“Your Excellency, thank you for showing mercy! If you have used the refined corpse, perhaps my two young and beautiful wives would have met their deaths.”

The black man, Man Shan, had actually seen through that Ning Fan harbored a black dragon refined corpse!

Indeed, Ning Fan had exercised mercy. Otherwise, he could have summoned his refined corpse to attack one of the women while holding the other one by himself. In that case, the two of them probably would not have a good ending.

The black bear was dreadful of Ning Fan while Ning Fan also feared him. There were still a few months more before the Star Gate reopens and the gate was right within the territory of the old bear. If he were to kill his wives, the black man would certainly fight him to the death. By that time, he would need to risk his life in order to get to the Star Gate. Since he had a choice now, there was no need for him to pursue and kill any of them. As for the Extreme Profound Zoysia, it was not too late to decide whether to seize it or not after asking Xi Ran about it when she awakens.

“You should keep an eye on your own wives. If they roam freely outside like this and get hurt, you are going to feel heartache and sorry for them.” Ning Fan indifferently said.

“Haha! Don’t worry. Brother, you can rest peacefully here in the southern part of the island. This kind of misunderstanding won’t happen for the second time! Considering your benevolence for not killing my wives, I am going to give you something good…”

The black bear laughed generously and tossed a jade slip to Ning Fan. He then turned his head back, facing the two women and cast them a fierce stare.

“Let’s go home!”

“…” The two women did not dare to disobey his command. In a flash, the three figures disappeared into the distance.

After the black bear left, Ning Fan held the jade slip in his hand and perused it. He was not in a hurry to open it up. In fact, he first checked if there were any traps or hidden seals placed within the jade slip. When he made sure that everything was normal, only then did he immersed his spirit sense into it to see what was inside.

As he took a glance at it, his eyes instantly turned cold. The jade slip did not record anything else other than a kill order!

The individual who issued the kill order was one of the four holy demons of the star sea – the Holy Kun2, Kun Mo3!

The wanted person looks exactly like me!

If it weren’t for the black bear who notified me about it, perhaps I would still be unaware that I have unknowingly offended an expert.

“Don’t tell me that this Kun Mo is that person…” Ning Fan recalled that in the past four months when he was travelling across the star sea, he had indeed provoked a Half-Step Void Refinement Realm beast after killing quite a number of Wild Beasts.

On that day, that Half-Step Void Refinement Realm beast was leading tens of Wild Beasts to pursue him across the sea. If it was not because of the incredible speed of his Golden Flame Chariot, he probably would have been in danger.

With this kill order, Ning Fan could now be prepared and be on the lookout for any ambush or sneak attacks, although he was not afraid of the so-called Holy Kun, Kun Mo at all!

The Wild Beasts of the star sea attacked him so he killed them in return. It might be difficult to tell whose fault it was in the end, but Ning Fan firmly believed in one thing.

In this world, if you don’t provoke others, the others would never offend you.

“This black bear is rather interesting.”

After clearing off his thoughts, Ning Fan smiled faintly.

This black bear seems to be straightforward and honest, but he is definitely not stupid.

Think about it, the reason why he would express goodwill to me by informing me that I am being pursued is because I have showed concern for his wives without killing them straight away like usual.

“I showed my mercy to him and then he repaid me by letting me know about the kill order… Giving a plum in return for a peach. This kind of incident is indeed hard to find in the cultivation world. Speaking of which, the reason why I did not kill his wives was not because I was being soft-hearted or kind to them but because I was dreadful of them. Similarly, he cozied up to me not because he was grateful. Perhaps, he just wanted to express a bit of kindness to prevent me from creating more troubles in his territory… This kind of relationship really resembles that between me and my master. I chose to become his disciple because I was unwilling to die. The master accepted me and taught me with all his effort because I am able to save his wife. Isn’t this just like the saying goes ‘Giving a plum in return for a peach’…”

“The principle that contains within that relationship isn’t just gratitude or spiritual debt, but… karma! Every cause brings a consequence. This is the fundamental principle for all things in the world. It is just like the two ends of a circle. Because of a single seed, a fruit grows. Because of a single cause, a consequence manifests… And that circle is none other than the causal loop!”
