Chapter 475 - Massacre in the Broken World (1/2)

Little Ming Que ate the Fifth Revolution Pills like beans. She finally quieted down and no longer ran around on her own in the Mist Horn Clan.

As for Ning Fan, he went into the Profound Yin World for seclusion. He acquired the Azure Cold Qi during the auction and little Ming Que had given him Profound Yin Qi as a gift. Thus, he spent some time to assimilate the two types of Heavenly Cold Qi into his body.

In the past, Ning Fan was eager to get Profound Yin Qi to increase his cultivation level. Today, however, the enhancement that the Profound Yin Qi gave to his cultivation level was literally none.

Of the twelve Heavenly Cold Qi, Profound Yin Qi ranked ninth while the Azure Cold Qi ranked tenth. Each of them could increase Ning Fan’s magic power by one thousand units. However, since he now possessed more than six hundred and fifty thousand units of magic power, the effect of these two Heavenly Cold Qi clearly was not worth mentioning.

Even so, the increase in the destructive power of his flame was quite appreciable after taking in the two types of Heavenly Cold Qi.

He now had already gathered eleven types of Heavenly Cold Qi and he only lacked the first-rank cold qi, Mending Heavenly Heart.

Regarding the Earth Vein Demonic Flames, he had already gathered ten out of twelve types. He was now only lacking the first-rank demonic flame, Earth Blazing Flame and the fifth-rank demonic flame, Arctic Flame to complete his collection.

Perhaps he would be able to purchase fifth-rank demonic flame from some places in the future. But the first-rank cold qi and demonic flame, however, were extremely rare to find. Even though they were just Fifth Grade spiritual elements, their destructive power was said to be much more domineering than most of the Sixth Grade spiritual elements.

Well, how could something that was ranked first in its category be something common?

Not to mention the Arctic Flame, whether or not Ning Fan could find Mending Heavenly Heart and Earth Blazing Flame, it would all depend on his luck.

“It all relates to one’s luck whether or not they can obtain the spiritual items of heavens and earth. Similarly, it depends on my luck whether I can obtain the first-rank Heavenly Cold Qi and the first-rank Earth Vein Demonic Flame. On the cultivation path, one requires a calm heart. If I gain something, it’s because of my fortune. If I lose something, it’s because of my fate. Opportunities can never be altered or forced. The only thing that one can change is their own attitude.”

Ning Fan set his mind at rest, allowing his heart to be as quiet as still water.

For three consecutive days, he did not do any other cultivation. He only made his body glow with golden light. He regulated his mana and let his qi circulate, vitalizing every inch of his body.

Once I get the fourth devil slate, I can then truly break through to the Golden Body Refining Realm. I already have enough pills that can allow me to break through the bottleneck anytime now. Everything is all set, except for the devil qi of the last devil slate…

The devil marks on his back became boiling hot. Ning Fan could tell that if he obtains the fourth devil slate and absorbs the fourth devil qi, the symbol of mist horn would appear on his devil marks. When that time comes, his devil marks would advance to a new grade completely.

Six wings, giant devil, ghost eye and mist horn. Ning Fan had only let Fen Chi awaken the ability of six wings which enhanced his movement speed.

As for the abilities of the other three devil marks, they were unimportant to him. If he has time in the future, he could ask for the other devil concubines’ help to awaken their respective abilities. If there isn’t a chance for him to do so, he could ignore them temporarily.

Three days later, Ning Fan suddenly rose to his feet and left the Profound Yin World.

In the real world, night had fallen. Ning Fan left the guest house nimbly and headed to a forbidden place of the Mist Horn Clan.

His travelling speed was too subtle and quiet. None of the Mist Horn Clan’s experts could detect his arrival.

It was a forbidden place which was placed with multiple layers of powerful formation light. Within the formation light, there was not a single guard. The place was like an imaginary land of peace with verdant hills and limpid water.

In between the mountains and streams, there was a large clear pond which occupied one thousand acres. It was called the Plain Azure Lake. It was a perfect holy land for cultivation as it contained massive spiritual qi.

Under the faint light of the moon in the night sky, a decorated pleasure boat was bloating on the center of the lake.

An eye-catching beautiful woman that was as ethereal as Dragon Girl sat on the boat. She was sitting leisurely beside a jade table while holding a small jade cup in her hand. She had been pouring herself cups of wine and drank it off on her own. Her cheeks flushed red and she looked as if she was already drunk.

There were twelve silver-scaled flood dragons[1] residing in the lake. Each of the dragons had Half-Step Void Refinement Realm cultivation base. They seemed to be the beautiful woman’s spiritual pets.

After sensing Ning Fan’s arrival, all the twelve silver-scaled flood dragons felt a heavy wave of pressure within their blood veins which made them shiver with fear.

The beautiful woman felt a little surprise and raised her bright eyes to look at the sky. A white-robed young man had arrived and stood mid-air.

“Fellow Daoist’s body seems to have a certain type of demon blood. Its grade is high as well. These twelve flood dragons of mine are wild beasts with genuine bloodline. They were never afraid of anyone. Now, however, they were intimidated by your aura force…” Su Yao wore an attractive smile which could charm anyone.

*Thud*

Ning Fan ethereally descended on the bow of the pleasure boat. He just made a gentle smile after hearing Su Yan’s words without expressing his opinion.

Su Yan also did not question about his secrets further. Besides, the reason for her to meet Ning Fan today was certainly not to talk about demon blood.

She gently waved her hand and scooped up some water from the lake. With the use of some magic power, the lake water condensed into a jade-colored cup. She filled it up with black wine and placed on the opposite side of the jade table.

Ning Fan sat down with his legs crossed. He held up the cup of spiritual wine but he did not drink it down immediately.

He smelled the wine and ascertained that it was a non-poisonous spiritual wine of an uncommon grade.

“Fellow Daoist sure is a careful person. Don’t tell me that you’re worried that I might poison your drink?” Su Yan smiled with her lips pursed.

“It’s just a habit…” Ning Fan did not say much and finished up the cup of spiritual wine in one gulp. By just drinking that cup of wine, he felt that the level of his body refining realm increased a little.

He was slightly stunned. Shortly after that, he nodded with approval. He was really satisfied with this kind of spiritual wine.

“So this wine is brewed using the Devil Bone Flower. That’s why its color is so dark. However, when it enters the mouth, it’s as sweet as honey. Moreover, it even has the mysterious effect of improving the cultivation level of one’s body refining realm. The Devil Bone Flower that is used for brewing this wine is at least seventy thousand years old. This is really hard to come by. Common Devil Bone Flower will certainly wilt and die before reaching fifty thousand years old. Only in a devil place like this could have the possibility of giving birth to a Devil Flower Bone that can live more than fifty thousand years old…”

“Fellow Daoist’s eyes are really sharp. I brewed this Devil Bone Wine myself. You’re correct. I have used seventy thousand years old Devil Bone Flower as the raw material to brew this wine. Commonly, Devil Bone Flower can’t reach seventy thousand years old. However, the condition in my Mist Horn Clan is unique. We have a small chiliocosm that has raised countless ‘devil spirits’ The devil qi inside that small chiliocosm is dense and concentrated. Many devil medicinal plants are able to live up to a greater age.”

Su Yan did not have the intention to conceal the fact about the existence of the small chiliocosm. Many devil cultivators in the internal sea had heard of the small chiliocosm of the Mist Horn Clan which was said to be a holy land for devil medicinal plants to grow. Devil Marjoram was one of the plants that was transplanted from within that broken world. In Rain World, only the Mist Horn Clan possessed this kind of devil medicine.

“Devil spirit…”

Ning Fan activated his Mind Reading Technique while maintaining his composure to steal some information from Su Yan’s mind.

He discovered that there was not any old ancestor protecting the Mist Horn Clan. There were just three Void Refinement Realm experts including Su Yan.

However, they raised a great number of devil spirits inside their small chiliocosm. These devil spirits were unique creatures that had been raised using a secret art of the devil race. They obeyed any commands of the cultivators of the Mist Horn Clan. If the Mist Horn Clan is in danger, they would serve as the clan’s last line of defense in its dire moment.

In the broken world of the Mist Horn Clan, there were no less than ten million devil spirits and their cultivation level was at least at the Gold Core Realm at above.

There were approximately one hundred thousand Nascent Soul Realm devil spirits.

As for Divine Transformation Realm devil spirits, there were nearly eight hundred in total.

Apart from these, there were also fifteen Void Refinement Realm devil spirits and seven of which were at the Void Inquiry Stage!

When these devil spirits were born, they would get into a contract with leader of the Mist Horn Clan. They would regard the clan leader as their master. The cultivation level of the devil spirits was always the top secret of the Mist Horn Clan and only the clan leader knew about it.

Outsiders only knew that the Mist Horn Clan raised devil spirits in the broken world but that place was extremely suitable for planting devil medicinal plants. However, no one was aware that the Mist Horn Clan had actually raised fifteetn Void Refinement Realm devil spirits!

Ning Fan had just stolen such a great secret from Su Yan’s mind by accident. His expression remained neutral and he was astonished inwardly.

Indeed, the Mist Horn Clan isn’t as simple as it looks.

Once someone tries to lay a finger on the clan, the 15 Void Refinement Realm devil spirits will kill that troublemaker.

Among the 15 Void Refinement Realm devil spirits, the 8 Void Glimpse Stage devil spirits were not a big deal. The 7 Void Inquiry Stage devil spirits, however, were not a trivial matter.

With Ning Fan’s current strength, he definitely could not withstand the attacks of 7 Void Inquiry Stage beings at a time.

It sure is a right decision for not using force on the Mist Horn Clan.

“Fellow Daoist Zhou, I have a question that I want to ask for your advice. I wonder if you could help me resolve my doubt?” Su Yan asked.

“There isn’t anyone else here. If Mistress Su has something to say, just tell me straight.”

“Fellow Daoist Zhou, I wonder if you feel that there is a subtle connection between us… To be frank, at the moment you entered Tai Chi City, I have sensed your presence. This is really strange. We have never met each other before. Why will I have such subtle feeling with Fellow Daoist?”

“Mistress Su, where do you think this feeling comes from?” Ning Fan asked her another question instead of answering her.

“I-I… don’t know…” A hint of shyness suddenly filled Su Yan’s face but she quickly concealed that feeling without losing her composure.

As a matter of fact, she had looked up the ancient books of her clan. According to the records of the ancient books, there were some techniques in the devil race that could make two individuals who was a stranger to each other be bound by a contract, causing them to have soul connection to each other.

The most common contract was the pledge between Daoist partners of the devil race. Based on rumors, as long as a pair of Daoist partners of the devil race had genuinely fallen in love for each other and made a vow of blow to establish the pledge, even if they reincarnated for seven times, they would still have a trace of connection between their souls which would guide them to reunion one day.

Su Yan clearly had no idea that the both of them had a trace of connection in the first place since she was the demon concubine of the Mist Horn Clan while Ning Fan was the holder of the Mo Luo Blood.

She only thought that she might have bound to Ning Fan by a contract in her previous life and both of them were once a couple in one of their previous lives. That’s why she would experience this kind of feeling.

Even though she was the leader of a clan, she was just a woman after all. Thus, she found it embarrassing to tell Ning Fan whom she met for the second time: Hey, listen up, both of us were Daoist partners in our previous life. We were husband and wife. That’s why we have this soul connection.

She let out a deep sigh and shook her head gently. Even though she might have married to Ning Fan once in the previous life, she had never thought of marrying him in her current one.

She actually did not want to have this feeling. The reason she had this meeting with Ning Fan was because she wanted to cut off the connection between the both of them.

She was the leader of the Mist Horn Clan. She must not allow herself to be found easily. Hence, she exercised extreme caution in choosing the place for her seclusion on usual days.

Today, both she and Ning Fan felt a connection to each other. With this feeling of connection, perhaps he would be able to find out the location where she hid herself for seclusion. It would be very unsafe to a cultivator as it was similar to exposing her whereabouts.

For example, when Ning Fan sneaked into the Mist Horn Clan during the other day, Su Yan managed to sense Ning Fan’s arrival. With the existence of this soul connection, Ning Fan would also expose his tracks.

Su Yan gave it some thought in Ning Fan’s shoes and felt that he would also want to cut off the connection between the two of them. After all, no cultivator would be willing to let others find out their tracks, wouldn’t it?

“So Mistress Su wants to cut off this feeling of connection with me, doesn’t you?” Ning Fan fiddled with his cup and looked at Su Yan with a playful expression. He had already seen through all her thoughts using her Mind Reading Technique.

Su Yan felt slightly surprised and nodded her head without denying him.

“Exactly. We just met each other by chance and this feeling of connection came in such an odd timing. Severing this connection is for each other’s good, isn’t?”

“If Mistress Su insists on severing the connection with me, I, of course, have no objection against it. However, I just wonder if Mistress Su has any way to cut off this connection? Could it be that you will need to borrow the power of the devil statue slate?”

Ning Fan secretly shifted the topic to the devil slate. Su Yan was immediately startled. Shortly after that, she smiled with her lips pursed.

“Fellow Daoist must be joking. The devil statue slate of my Mist Horn Clan doesn’t have the ability to sever such connection. It’s just a slate with indecipherable words… In the broken world of my clan, there is a place called Devil Mist Pond. The devil qi of the pond water is extremely strong. It’s the placewhere the former leaders of the clan establish the agreement with the devil spirits. Since the contract can be established, it naturally can also be nullified. I believe that the connection that we have for each other is also caused by some kind of devil race promise we made in tour previous lives. Perhaps we can use the power of the Devil Mist Pond to void the previous promise between us and wash away the connection…”

When Su Yan heard that Ning Fan was willing to sever the connection with her, she felt a sense of relief. If Ning Fan were to refuse, she also could not threaten him to do so.

Just as Su Yan was explaining to Ning Fan, he activated his Yin Yang Locket to use his Mind Reading Technique for accessing all information inside Su Yan’s mind.

Since he mentioned the devil statue slate, Su Yan unavoidably thought about the information regarding the slate.

According to her, after the devil statue slate appeared, Su Yan sealed it within the broken world of the clan and it happened to be at an obscure grand formation beside the Devil Mist Pond.

The Mist Horn Broken World was the most forbidden place of the Mist Horn Clan. Only clan leaders who possessed the token could enter the place as they wish.

Ning Fan was just an outsider. Even if he had all kinds of powerful techniques, he would not be able to enter others’ small chiliocosm.

Su Yan wanted to bring Ning Fan into the Mist Horn Broken World to erase the soul connection between the two of them. This gave him a chance to directly steal the devil statue slate away.

Once he gets the fourth slate, he could immediately go into seclusion to achieve the breakthrough to the Golden Body Refining Realm!

Seeing Ning Fan’s contemplative expression, Su Yan only thought that he was worried that he might encounter danger after entering the Mist Horn Broken World.

She could also understand that it was a forbidden area of the Mist Horn Clan and outsiders could not enter and leave that place at will. Besides, there were ten million devil spirits and 15 Void Refinement Realm beings who obeyed to her commands only. If she gives a command to attack Ning Fan, the danger he would encounter would be unfathomable.

Under that kind of condition, Su Yan found it normal and understandable for Ning Fan to feel worried about his safety after entering the broken world.
