Chapter 371.2 (1/2)

The Third Elder’s Sword

Their words stunned countless cultivators.

Originally, everyone thought that these two Void Refinement Realm experts were about to seek revenge for Revered Flame. However, what happened next greatly exceeded their expectations.

What on earth was happening?

A revered being of the Rain Palace had been killed and was turned to nothing, not even a speck of his bones left. How come these two Void Refinement Realm experts still have the mood to laugh? Are they actually cracking a joke with his murderer, Ning Fan?

Even though Ning Fan was not at fault for Revered Flame’s demise and he had done it in order to protect himself, publicly killing a revered member of the Rain Palace was a slap in the face to them. It would really be not in line with the dominating style of the Rain Palace if they do not hold him accountable for such a serious matter!

“Oh? These two seniors don’t think I’m guilty of murder?” Ning Fan was slightly surprised. Evidently, he also did not expect that the two Void Refinement Realm experts would smile at him in a friendly manner. His intention of getting rid of the two Void Refinement Realm experts was temporarily put off.

Could it be that these two experts had a grudge against Revered Flame and killing the latter just happened to align with their wishes?

“This young friend must be joking. The Endless Sea is a lawless region in the first place. There is nothing wrong with killing anyone here. Furthermore, Yun Yan attempted to kill you first, so you were just protecting yourself. There doesn’t seem to be anything wrong with it? Don’t worry, young friend. No one will blame you for Yun Yan’s death. Both of us can assure you that! Moreover, you’re much more useful than that Yun Yan to our Rain Palace. Therefore, you don’t have to worry.”

The two Void Refinement Realm experts laughed leisurely, as if Revered Flame’s death was just a trivial matter.

Ning Fan stared deeply at the two experts.

From what they have said, the reason why they changed their attitudes is because I’m more useful than Revered Flame.

Does the word ‘useful’ they mentioned mean that they need help with something from me? Otherwise, with their identities as Void Refinement Realm experts of the Rain Palace, they would never speak so softly to me.

I see… I have some usefulness to the Rain Palace.

Speaking from another perspective, would this usefulness let Ning Fan obtain benefits from the Rain Palace?

“How are you, Third Elder?” One of the Void Refinement Realm experts asked with a smile.

“...”

There was a saying which goes, ‘when words are many, sin is not absent.’ Ning Fan remained silent as he had not figured out the actual intentions of these two experts.

“Hehe. It doesn’t matter even if you don’t say anything. We both know that that old man, Zhou Chen, is hiding in the space of your Treasure of Immortal’s Abode…”

“Zhou Chen?” Ning Fan was inwardly surprised but his face remained calm. This name was unfamiliar to him. At least, it was not known in the Internal Endless Sea.

Seeing Ning Fan not expressing any opinion, the two experts did not ask about that matter anymore. Instead, they changed the topic and raised another question.

“This young friend, are you willing to join the Rain Palace and become a revered being? If you have this intention, we might be able to help you by recommending you to the Rain Palace.”

*Hua*

Their words were too shocking. They caused an uproar among the cultivators who heard that offer.

Since when did the threshold for becoming a revered being of the Rain Palace became so low?

Didn’t the Rain Palace reject devil or demon cultivators from joining them?

Don’t they refuse to accept any person who kills people like scything flax?

Why are the experts of the Rain Palace still treating Venerated Ming with respect and are even trying to rope him in although he killed Revered Flame, a revered being of their clan?

Unbelievable. It’s too unbelievable.

Ning Fan was analyzing the words of the two Void Refinement Realm experts and made some guesses.

These two experts might really need my help on something. Otherwise, they won’t offer such a generous benefit to me.

Not everyone was able to become a revered being of the Rain Palace. Once you become a revered member of the Rain Palace, nearly none of all the eight hundred cultivation countries in Rain World would dare to provoke you.
