Chapter 465 - A Guiltless But Meritorious Deed? (2/2)

The reason for the meeting was due to the old ancestors hearing of Ning Fan’s unprecedented pill refinement mastery and they now wanted to request his help to concoct some pills for them.

They claimed that any kind of demand would be negotiable if Ning Fan promised to help them.

“Any kind of demand…”

Ning Fan clearly knew that the ‘several old ancestors’ Ju Qing mentioned referred to the Eight Ancestors.

Since the Eight Ancestors were asking him for some pills, their attitude would certainly be filled with respect. However, Ning Fan had zero good feelings towards them.

He stood at Feng Xueyan’s side. Hence, it was already fated that he was going to be an enemy of the Eight Ancestors.

Even so, it wasn’t impossible for him to help the Eight Ancestors concoct some pills.

Since I can ask for anything I want, I wonder if I can extract the devil qi of the slate using this opportunity by asking for a chance to take a look at the devil statue slate.

As for the pill that I will have to concoct for them… I wonder if I can directly kill the Eight Ancestors with poison by adding something into those pills…

Recently, Ning Fan did not see Feng Xueyan and it made him rather worried.

However, during the days when she was not around, he was able to spend some restful intimate nights with Yue Lingkong and Xu Qiuling respectively.

Ning Fan still did not lay a single finger on Fen Chi. He would never force this lady to act against her will.

Ironically, he did not know that Fen Chi was not unwilling to do intimate acts with Ning Fan at all. But her courage to offer herself to him diminished after she saw how Ning Fan doted on Yue Lingkong and Xu Qiuling.

Everything seemed to have gone smoothly but Ning Fan did not feel relaxed.

It was because Ju Qing was going to bring him to meet the Eight Ancestors today.

The location of the meeting was naturally at the broken chiliocosm where the Eight Ancestors reside.

Ning Fan was not worried about his safety in recklessly entering someone else’s territory where eight powerful experts would be waiting for him.

He had the stored attack in his Stele of Sun and Moon. If he were to be driven to a desperate situation, he would use that attack which carried the power to instantly kill a Void Pierce Stage old ancestor.

Even if he could not find the entrance of Ju Mo’s Broken World, it would still be very easy for him to escape from there once he enters. He could directly make an exit using his Wind Mist Technique.

With the Wind Mist Technique and the Heaven Deceiving Cloak, Ning Fan could basically go anywhere beneath the heavens unhindered. No cultivator with a cultivation realm below the Void Fragmentation Realm could harm him.

Even if the true body of King Lan Ling comes to find him in the future, he would still not be afraid of him!

Yun Niansu had given Ning Fan a piece of information which said that the Rain Sovereign had sent King Lan Ling’s second primordial spirit to find him with the intention of “teaching him a lesson”.

Ning Fan did not pay attention to this matter at all. What was the second primordial spirit of King Lan Ling?

Before this, he had been focusing on the Pill Ceremony. Therefore, he was too lazy to involve himself with him.

If this man was really stubborn enough to come and give Ning Fan a ‘lesson’, he would not mind using the stored attack in his Stele of Sun and Moon to instantly eliminate his second primordial spirit.

Not to mention, Ning Fan did not think King Lan Ling would come after him.

King Lan Ling was already grievously injured by the Eight Ancestors. Perhaps he was now treating his wounds somewhere.

He had been committed to collecting the devil slates. Since he failed to get the slate of the Giant Devil Clan, he would surely proceed with his plan by seizing the slates of the two other clans.

Since he was fully absorbed in seizing the devil slates, how would he still have any interest to deal with Ning Fan?

That being so, Ning Fan was not worried about King Lan Ling appearing at his doorstep. Currently, he was much more concerned about Feng Xueyan.

*Door knocking*

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door of his room. With a flick of his sleeve, Ning Fan produced a gust of air which opened the door. A haggard, white-haired young lady stood outside. Anxiety was plastered over her face. She was none other than the young lady whom Ning Fan had not met for some time – Feng Xueyan.

“Brother-in-law, you must not go meet my grandfather. T-They want to eat you!” Feng Xueyan’s lips moved but no sound would come out from her mouth.

She was overly worried. She had even forgotten to greet Ning Fan with the usual politeness. She just begged Ning Fan not to go to the meeting like a small child.

“Brother-in-law, please don’t go. They are all bad guys…”

“Silly girl…”

Ning Fan looked at Feng Xueyan as if he was looking at his own younger sister. His eyes were filled with sympathy. He gently patted her white hair to comfort her.

Internally, his heart turned cold and his mind got filled with the intent to kill the Eight Ancestors.

The Eight Ancestors actually wanted to devour him? Interesting…

These Eight Ancestors have really become tired of living!

It seems like if I don’t give them a scare, they won’t be keeping to themselves within their boundaries, will they?!

…

On a deserted and isolated island in the internal sea.

Within a hidden temporary dwelling, King Lan Ling’s second primordial spirit which was full of scars and wounds was meditating in seclusion to treat his injuries.

Beside him, there was a jade slip. It contained Yun Jinghong’s request.

King Lan Ling, please do me a favor and teach Zhou Ming a lesson.

King Lan Ling’s eyes scanned past the jade slip. He then made a snort and said, dissatisfied.

“Hmph! Yun Jinghong, how dare you boss me around? Do you think I am your subordinate?!”

“Teach Zhou Ming a lesson? For what reason do I need to listen to the Rain Palace and do as they say?! Moreover, do they really think a lowly Zhou Ming deserves to be personally taken care of by me?!”

As soon as his voice fell, he suddenly became silent.

He had met Ning Fan twice already and during these two times, he had been extremely arrogant towards him. Even so, Ning Fan had been as calm as a lake on both occasions. He never got angry, just like a weak being should.

He had even started to think of Ning Fan as someone weak. However, was he really weak since he managed to kill Shi Kun and Mo Xiu?

At this moment, King Lan Ling realized that he had been underestimating Ning Fan all this time.

However, his arrogant nature could not allow him to admit Ning Fan’s greatness.

Past memories flashed past in his eyes. When King Lan Ling was still young, he challenged Yun Tianjue twice. Yun Tianjue had not been swayed by his challenges, just like an unfeeling stone. That made King Lan Ling think that Yun Tianjue was weak and was nothing more than a pushover.

However, during the third time King Lan Ling challenged him, Yun Tianjue drew his sword in anger. In a single move, he utterly defeated King Lan Ling.

That was the greatest humiliation of his entire life!

Now, King Lan Ling felt that the reason why he felt so disdainful towards Ning Fan was not because he was too weak, but because he resembled Yun Tianjue far too much… Both of them were so alike that it was disgusting to him.

“If I challenge this young man a third time, will he also draw his sword in anger like that man?!”

“Humph! Forget it. If I could gather all of the devil slates and crack the secret hidden in them, I can look for him by then. Currently, I don’t have the time to deal with him!”

If I don’t hurry up on obtaining those slates, my body that has been severely injured due to my failed attempt in breaking through to the Void Fragmentation Realm would be difficult to heal after absorbing the devil qi. Hmph! If I were at my peak without these injuries, it would be a bliss coming to the internal sea and wiping them all out with my true body. Would the eight undead creatures in the Giant Devil Clan be able to harm me then? Humph!”

King Lan Ling’s eyes turned even colder. He wanted to increase his speed in gathering all the devil slates.

Compared to the devil statue slates, everything else could be ignored for the meantime, including Ning Fan!
