Chapter 440 - : Killing Lu Jiefen (1/2)

This young emperor was actually someone of the previous generation whose name once shook the entire Rain World, King Lan Ling!

The King Lan Ling in the rumors was a Half-Step Void Fragmentation Realm expert. The cultivation base he was emanating right now was just at the Void Inquiry Stage. It was a little strange.

When Ning Fan studied him carefully, he discovered some clues. The King Lan Ling standing in front of him was actually just the second primordial spirit of the original. He was not the true person.

There should be a lot of them who could see through the identity of this King Lan Ling as the second primordial spirit of the original.

However, even if it was just his second primordial spirit, no one had the intention to resist him.

As soon as Liu Yi saw this person’s arrival, his eyes were instantly filled with hopelessness. If this person wants to eliminate the Six-Winged Clan, no matter how strong or how skilled Ning Fan was, he would not be able to protect the Six-Winged Clan! Luckily, this person just wanted to seize the slate. It can already be said that no one could keep the slate from King Lan Ling. However, no one could be sure whether the Six-Winged Clan could survive by chance after handing over the slate…

Yue Lingkong’s beautiful eyes were filled with shock. She was ready to activate the moon portal anytime and bring Ning Fan to flee. It was enough to show how terrified she was of King Lan Ling.

“Little Cucumber, let’s get ready to escape. We can’t afford to mess with this King Lan Ling…In the Rain World, no one below the Void Fragmentation Realm can fight against him!”

“You don’t have to worry. This person isn’t the original. He is just the second primordial spirit…”

“Even though he is just the second primordial spirit, you still can’t underestimate him… Rumor has it that King Lan Ling’s second primordial spirit is strong enough to kill ordinary Void Pierce Stage experts…”

Yue Lingkong’s voice carried some concern. She was worried about Ning Fan’s safety.

No one knew since when Ning Fan’s safety had become something that could make her worry.

“Don’t worry. This King Lan Ling’s enmity isn’t focused on us. Instead, his enmity is against the members of the Ghost Eye Clan and the Mist Horn Clan… He claimed that his reason for coming to the Six-Winged Clan is to obtain one item. That item is probably the Devil Statue Slate… Interesting. The Lan Ling Sect might only be joining forces with the Mist Horn Clan and the Ghost Eye Clan on the surface. I wonder what agreement they had amongst themselves. However, just as the slate was about to fall into their hands, King Lan Ling personally came to seize the slate and even wanted to pocket the profits without sharing. There is an old saying which goes: benefits make people fight. Those who cooperate in order to obtain benefits will eventually go against each other because of them.”

Just as Ning Fan had expected, as soon as King Lan Ling showed himself, his spirit sense targeted Gui Jiao and Wang Liang. It seems clear that he really harbored the intention to keep the slate for himself.

Even though Yue Lingkong was strong, she was just at the level where she was undefeatable among Void Glimpse Stage experts. She also did not have a strong and powerful background. Thus, she was not qualified to make King Lan Ling regard her with importance.

The only thing that could make King Lan Ling afraid was the forces backing Gui Jiao and Wang Liang – the Mist Horn Clan and the Ghost Eye Clan.

Especially the Ghost Eye Clan, which would be King Lan Ling’s greatest opponent in competing for the devil statue slate!

“Xuan Yi, hand over the devil statue slate!”

King Lan Ling’s bone-chilling voice carried an unimaginable aura force which directly pressed against Xuan Yi. To Xuan Yi who was already grievously injured, this aura force was difficult to resist!

Xuan Yi’s eyes looked extremely fearful. In the face of King Lan Ling’s aura force, he actually felt like he was suffocating. There was no way he could resist it.

If only Void Glimpse Stage old monsters came to seize the slate, he would still dare to fight against them. However, a strong expert like King Lan Ling had also come today. Of course, Xuan Yi did not need to think that he would still be able to keep the slate.

His eyes were filled with reluctance. The contents carved on this devil statue slate was extremely abstruse and difficult to understand. What’s more strange about it was that the words on the slate would constantly change after a while.

After Xuan Yi tried to study it, he only managed to find out that it contained methods to “break free from the devil marks” and “condensing the devil ancestral talisman’.

What Xuan Yi was particularly concerned about was that the slate seemed to also contain a trace of a massive power. He did not know what it was. It seemed to be the source of the power that kept changing the words.

Xuan Yi made a copy of the words that had appeared on the slate. Each time, the words were different from before. He deeply understood that if the power that was sealed in the slate did not exist, these abstruse and constantly changing words would not carry any meaning. They would not be able to eliminate the devil marks of the Six-Winged Clan. Hence, he was definitely unwilling to hand over the slate unless he could figure out the secrets behind it.

Now, since King Lan Ling had arrived, Xuan Yi finally did not have any other options but to give the slate away.

It was a deep black ancient slate which was emanating a faint devil qi. Even so, that trace of qi was boundless and heavy.

When Xuan Yi took it out, it immediately caught everybody’s eyes. Countless old monsters revealed covetous expressions and secretly spread their spirit sense to study what the words were on the slate.

However, after they checked it, the expressions of those old monsters changed. Not only were the words on the slate abstruse and difficult to understand, but they would also change from time to time.

Even Ning Fan’s expression also changed slightly. Similarly, he also could not understand what was written on the slate.

However, at the time he saw this slate and the words with his own eyes, Ning Fan suddenly felt that the drop of Mo Luo’s blood in his primordial spirit seemed to be boiling. As for the Profound Earth Devil Marks on his back, they actually became scorching hot. Gradually, they were showing signs of advancement!

This slate contained the secret of Mo Luo’s blood! Moreover, it also contained a mysterious power that could allow his devil marks to advance!

Ning Fan secretly activated Mo Luo’s Eye. His heart was instantly overwhelmed with shock. He discovered that when he looked at those words again after activating Mo Luo’s Eye, those words actually began to wriggle and eventually restructured into clear and readable words. Furthermore, they never changed again.

Only Ning Fan could see it. As for the others, what they saw was still words that constantly changed.

Aside from that, what Ning Fan did not expect was that he sensed a rush of massive devil qi from the slate.

That devil qi seemed to be resonating with the drop of Mo Luo’s blood in his dantian. It was as if he could take out the devil qi that was sealed in the slate with his will.

It was that devil qi that made the devil marks show signs of advancing to the next level!

Now, in this place, only Ning Fan could truly understand the slate!

In the Rain World, only Ning Fan could extract the devil qi that was sealed in the slate!

“That trace of devil qi can make my Profound Earth Devil Marks improve to the next level and raise my body refinement realm!”

“I have already committed the texts on the slate to memory. I just need to extract the devil qi in this slate and it will be equivalent to obtaining all of the value of the slate. After that, it won’t matter whether I get this slate or not!”

“After extracting the devil qi of this slate and jotting down the true texts, it will be similar to a useless piece of stone to me. However, the outsiders might not know about it. For example, King Lan Ling, the Mist Horn Clan and the Ghost Eye Clan will continue to fight among themselves for this slate… Now, I just need to obtain the devil qi within it and let them compete among themselves for it!”

Ning Fan’s eyes glinted. A plan to cheat the others gradually took form in his mind.

Currently, King Lan Ling had personally requested for the slate and it left Xuan Yi with no other options but to yield. His request also made countless experts not dare to seize it anymore. However, his action had caused the two Void Glimpse Stage old monsters, Gui Jiao and Wang Liang, to gnash their teeth in rage.

Detestable! King Lan Ling had promised to help the Ghost Eye Clan seize the slate over and over again. In the end, however, he wanted to forcefully keep this slate from the Six-Winged Clan all to himself!

The two of them were completely disgusted by the betrayal of the Lan Ling Sect but they did not dare to say a single word about it. It was all because of King Lan Ling being too strong. However, the two clans were also not easygoing forces that could be bullied easily. They had already made precautions to prevent the Lan Ling Sect from turning against them by sending experts here. However, they had just not arrived yet.

Since King Lan Ling wanted the slate, no one dared to have any thoughts of seizing that slate.

Except for Ning Fan!

Ning Fan took a step forward. Beyond everyone’s expectations, he stood in front of Xuan Yi and gently took the slate from his hands. His face wore a playful smile.

“Hehe. I didn’t expect that so many people have actually come for this devil statue slate. I am rather curious about what kind of mysterious effect a mere stone slate has that could make everyone die fighting for it… Great Elder Xuan Yi, could you lend it to me so I can have a look?”

Ning Fan took the slate from Xuan Yi’s hands and immediately activated his Mo Luo’s blood. Using the power of the ‘blood’, he extracted the devil qi within the slate and it went into his body.

Just as it entered his body, it instantly went into the devil marks on his back, beginning to fuse with the devil marks.

All of a sudden, the devil qi of the slate waned. The frequency of change of the texts also began to slow down. However, no one could notice the changes that were happening to the slate from the surface.

No one had thought that Ning Fan would actually ‘seize’ the slate in front of King Lan Ling. It was similar to giving King Lan Ling a slap on his face right in front of him.

What everyone noticed was the moment Ning Fan took the slate to have a look, King Lan Ling’s eyes flashed with killing intent.

“What a fool! King Lan Ling wanted that item for sure but Zhou Ming grabbed it for himself. He literally is seeking his own death!” Lu Jiefen sneered inwardly. He knew that Ning Fan had a gut so huge that it could envelop the sky but he did not expect that the latter would actually be bold enough to compete for the treasure with King Lan Ling.

Lu Jiefen also wanted to get the slate but he did not have the courage to seize it in front of King Lan Ling because he knew that it was equivalent to digging his own grave.

“Why would Little Cucumber be so reckless?! Even though he always does things without following rules and tradition, he still has a sense of propriety. Even though he’s aware that King Lan Ling wanted this item no matter what, he still went to grab this hot potato. There must be some kind of underlying meaning in his actions… No matter what, even if he offends King Lan Ling, I will still help him. I shall get ready to open the moon portals to flee!” Yue Lingkong secretly made some hand seals and was ready to summon the moon portals anytime it’s necessary to bring Ning Fan and the female corpse away.

Everyone was speculating that Ning Fan was seriously provoking King Lan Ling by taking the slate boldly and the latter might directly eliminate him right there.

However, no one expected that King Lan Ling still did not make a move to kill him even though his eyes were filled with intense killing intent. He was actually holding back his killing intent.

There were times when King Lan Ling was actually not bold enough to kill. As a matter of fact, Ning Fan was someone that the Rain Palace had repeatedly urged King Lan Ling not to hurt!

“So you are the newly-promoted revered elder of the Great Heaven Palace, Zhou Ming, aren’t you? You have the Indestructible Fire Body and are still useful to the Rain Sovereign. Even I was urged by the Rain Sovereign in person not to lay a finger on you at the moment. However, the fact that I am prohibited from killing you doesn’t mean that I can’t kill your woman or your loved ones. If you provoke me, your woman will pay for your foolishness. Hand over that slate and get lost!”

Every word that King Lan Ling said was filled with threat. In his eyes, Ning Fan was just an ant. The reason why he could not kill Ning Fan was just because the latter’s Indestructible Fire Body was of great use to the Rain Sovereign.

After all, King Lan Ling was an expert of the same generation as Yun Tianjue. Today, he was already at the Half-Step Void Fragmentation Realm and he had hopes of attaining the Void Fragmentation Realm in his current lifetime.

He was a supreme expert whereas Ning Fan was just a lowly weakling.

The words that King Lan Ling uttered caused Ning Fan to clench his fists. His eyes turned icy cold.

What he could not tolerate the most was someone using his women to threaten him.

The reason why he spent a great deal of effort to obtain the protection of the Rain Palace and the Zhou Clan was to make sure no one dared to touch his women.

Unfortunately, be it the intimidating reputation of the Rain World or the ferocious prestige of the Zhou Clan, none of them was enough to cause experts at King Lan Ling’s level to fear him.

In the eyes of Half-Step Void Fragmentation Realm old monsters, Ning Fan was still just an ant. However, he had a larger head than other ants.

He had to recognize his own strength clearly. He had to get stronger!

Ning Fan had already activated his killing intent within his heart. At the next moment, however, he dismissed that intention. His expression remained unchanged as he planned for something.

The plan to trick Lan Ling Sect was not going to change.

Frankly, with Ning Fan’s current strength, it was far from enough to battle against King Lan Ling. However, tricking someone had no direct relation to one’s strength.

Today, if he doesn’t make the Lan Ling Sect, the Ghost Eye Clan and the Mist Horn Clan fight among themselves and cause all of them to suffer losses, he would be considered to have cultivated the devil path in vain!

Ning Fan shifted his gaze to a place in the distance. From that direction, he sensed two traces of vigorous qi rushing to his location.

They were two Void Inquiry Stage old monsters! Judging from their qi, one of them was from the Ghost Eye Clan while the other one was from the Mist Horn Clan. Clearly, they had certainly come for the slate!

Lan Ling Sect wanted to keep the slate for themselves but the other two clans were not fools. They also had their own plans.
