Chapter 455 - Questioning Yao Lian at Night (2/2)

However, she naturally could not guess that Ning Fan only wanted to fish for some secrets from her mouth. She just thought that he was hooked by her body, like other men.

She made a deeply passionate expression but inwardly, she felt proud of herself and disdainful towards Ning Fan.

So what if he has great strength? Isn’t he just like other men who are obsessed with sex? Didn’t he also get hooked so easily like them with just a little seduction?

So what if Yue Lingkong is strong? Didn’t her man still succumb to me mindlessly?

“Venerated Ming, I am feeling very uncomfortable right now… *Moan*”

She bent her upper body forward and laid in Ning Fan’ arms.

She then placed both of her arms around his neck, pulling herself towards him.

As soon as Yao Lian came into contact with Ning Fan’s body, her lust was reinvigorated.

Her body was only covered with a thin layer of clothing.

This is weird… Why would my body be so excited…? It shouldn’t be! When I was masturbating earlier, I deliberately made my body excited. The reason was to attain my peak condition. Now, in order to seduce Venerated Ming, I have secretly activated my bewitching power and shut off the sensitivity of my body… But why did my body lose control as soon as I touched his body…?

Suddenly, Yao Lian was filled with shock. It was at this moment that she recalled that Ning Fan was not just a devil lord who cut people down like scything flax but also a devil cultivator who cultivated the Yin Yang Devil Veins and practiced dual-cultivation.

She was extremely sure that Ning Fan did not use his bewitching power on her at all. However, just an unintentional physical contact could still arouse her…

What level of bewitching power is that?!

Ning Fan’s mastery in bewitching arts was far beyond Yao Lian’s ability to comprehend!

She raised her head once again. As she met Ning Fan’s eyes that were as indifferent as usual, she was surprised again.

“H-How is this possible? Did my seduction have no effect on him at all?”

At this very moment, Yao Lian began to realize that the man before her eyes right now was different from those whom she had met before. He was a tough one.

The set of calm eyes that had no trace of lust not only meant that Ning Fan was a man whose heart was as cold as iron but also implied that the reason he came to find her tonight had nothing to do with having sex with her.

“I wonder what made Venerated Ming find me at such an hour.”

Yao Lian bit the tip of her tongue and shook off the lustful desire in her. She straightened up her back and stopped seducing Ning Fan any longer.

She was not foolish. If Ning Fan did not come to have sex with her, she might probably enrage him by seducing him and end up being smashed to pieces.

Her beautiful eyes were now filled with a strong sense of failure.

She had always thought that she could toy with all men beneath the heavens with her voluptuous body. However, she discovered today that there were people whom she could never mess with.

“I have some questions to ask you, Second Elder. If the questions I ask are related to the secrets of your clan, you can just choose not to answer and act like I have never asked them before. Rest assured, Second Elder. I am close and friendly with your clan. The reason why I’m asking these questions is because of my curiosity after hearing some rumors from the three other clans of the Hidden Ocean. Even if you don’t wish to tell me the truth, I certainly won’t harbor a single bit of hatred against the Giant Devil Clan.”

“*Chuckle* So the reason why Venerated Ming came to pay me a visit at this late hour is because you have something to ask. Well, if you have any questions, just ask them directly. As long as it is something I’m allowed to say, I will certainly tell the truth. If it is related to something I am prohibited to say, I will never dare to tell Venerated Ming even if you force me to. Even if you choose to search my soul and memories, you won’t be able to access my true memories.”

Yao Lian was well aware of Ning Fan’s behavior. Killing people and searching their souls and memories were just common occurrences to him. Hence, she was quite cooperative with him. As long as it is something that she could tell him, she would surely tell him frankly but if it is a secret that could not be told, she would not dare to say it out even if she wants to as she would die after disclosing it.

“Alright. Is there a Devil Concubine in the Giant Devil Clan?!”

The first question that Ning Fan asked startled Yao Lian.

She gave him an awkward look. All of a sudden, traces of seals in her Sea of Consciousness caused a sharp pain in her mind as if they were warning her not to tell anything about it.

She naturally knew that a Devil Concubine had been born in the Giant Devil Clan and the Devil Concubine was the current clan leader’s daughter, Feng Xueyan.

However, the Eight Ancestors forbade this matter to be leaked and accordingly, they planted seals on the Sea of Consciousness of those who knew about it.

If Yao Lian divulges any information regarding this matter, her Sea of Consciousness would be crushed instantly, killing her directly.

“…” She kept silent. However, the awkward look on her face had said everything.

She, of course, had no idea that Ning Fan had the Mind Reading Technique which allowed him to read all of her thoughts when she was thinking.

From her thoughts, Ning Fan found out that the Eight Ancestors are the ones who masterminded all of this!

Feng Xueyan is indeed the Devil Concubine of the Giant Devil Clan!

Ning Fan’s expression remained unchanged but inwardly, he became more certain of the guesses he had made.

He wished that he could just directly ask Yao Lian who the Eight Ancestors were and the artificial Samsara power.

However, it requires technique in asking questions. When he asked about the Devil Concubine, he did not directly ask whether Feng Xueyan was the Devil Concubine or not. Instead, he asked whether there was a Devil Concubine in the Giant Devil Clan.

In this way, even if the conversation between Ning Fan and Yao Lian tonight was passed on to the Eight Ancestors, it would not expose the fact that Ning Fan knew that Feng Xueyan was the Devil Concubine.

“About the seals on your Sea of Consciousness, who planted them?!”

Ning Fan did not ask about the Eight Ancestors straight away. Even so, facing the question that Ning Fan had just raised, she certainly would think about everything she knew regarding the Eight Ancestors.

Even if the Eight Ancestors knew the questions that Ning Fan asked from Yao Lian, they would only think that he was just concerned about her by asking regarding the seals.

No one would expect that Ning Fan had already obtained the information about the Eight Ancestors.

“I’m sorry. I can’t tell you about that…” Yao Lian gave Ning Fan a bitter smile. Each of the questions he asked was related to the important secrets of the Giant Devil Clan. She could not answer any of them at all. As soon as she answers, she would immediately die from the destruction of her Sea of Consciousness.

The Eight Ancestors… They were the eight predecessors of the Giant Devil Clan. Each of their cultivation levels was above the Void Inquiry Stage.

The eight of them not only included the current clan leader’s father, Ju Yan, but also the seven generations of experts before him.

The Eight Ancestors were overseeing the “Eight Gates, Six Dao and the Boundless Evil Sea Formation”. They hid themselves in Ju Mo’s remnant world while seeking for the path to save the Giant Devil Clan using their undead bodies.

They intend to wash away the slave marks on the members of their clan and their humiliation after being enslaved by Mo Luo at the expense of Feng Xueyan alone.

They had already extracted the devil slate from the devil statue and had been studying the devil scripture on the slate with great effort. However, none of them could understand it. However, the preserved copy of the devil scripture on the slate had already been circulating within the Giant Devil Clan. It was left by the earliest ancestor of the clan, Patriarch Ju Mo. Now, it was kept in Feng Xueyan’s hands.

The strongest being among the eight ancestors was not Ju Yan. Instead, it was another Void Pierce Stage old ancestor. He had managed to create the artificial Samsara power by imitating the true power of Samsara. This showed how extraordinary he was.

All of these were great secrets of the Giant Devil Clan. How could Yao Lian who was the second elder of the clan tell these to Ning Fan who was an outsider?

Besides that, only Fu Bai, Yao Lian and a few elders of the clan knew about this.

Even the current clan leader, Ju Qing, had his memories erased by the Eight Ancestors. He did not have the slightest idea about the real reason for his daughter’s suffering and he was still serving them with full loyalty.

Yao Lian would never tell Ning Fan anything about these.

However, Ning Fan found out about all of them by making Yao Lian think with a single question.

His eyes were as deep as the ocean. There was no emotion on his face but inwardly, his heart became even colder.

Very well!

Now, Ning Fan had finally figured out who his enemies were.

The Eight Ancestors or the eight predecessors of the Giant Devil Clan might be honorable individuals of the clan as they had given their all to eliminate the slave marks of the Giant Devil Clan.

However, they intend to sacrifice Feng Xueyan in order to achieve their goal. Ning Fan would not allow this kind of thing to happen.

By exchanging a single person for the entire clan’s prosperity, perhaps this kind of sacrifice is worthwhile.

However, if the person who is going to be sacrificed is you or your family, would you agree?

At least, Ning Fan was not going to agree.

He suddenly rose to his feet and nodded to Yao Lian. With a cold voice, he muttered, “Farewell.”

He just asked her two questions but he had gained every information he needed.

Even if the Eight Ancestors knew that he asked Yao Lian two questions, they would certainly not expect him to know everything.

*Creak*

The door was opened and then closed. There was already no sign of Ning Fan.

His departure allowed Yao Lian to loosen up her tense body. Ning Fan’s aura was truly terrifying. Even Yao Lian who had seen much of life found it a little unbearable.

“He really is a terrifying man. A man like him is not someone I can get… If I try to toy with him, I will certainly end up dead… *Giggle* But I have to admit that this man is the most outstanding man that I have ever seen in my whole life. He’s really charming…”

“He was not disturbed even though I was on his lap just now…”

Yao Lian suddenly made a self-deprecating smile.

If I have never been so unrestrained in the past… If I am still a virgin right now, I wonder if I would have the chance to be his partner…

When she asked herself that question, she suddenly felt that she had been living a really bad lifestyle…

I guess it’s time to make some changes on my lifestyle and behavior…
