Chapter 494: Ancient Demon
Ancient devils refined their bodies, ancient demons cultivated their senses while ancient deities cultivated dharma.
Ning Fan could guess that the ancient demons’ cultivation level must be closely related to the strength of their spirit sense. However, he did not know the names of each of the cultivation levels in detail.
Each of the demon cultivators on Si Kong Island flew into the sky and gazed at Ning Fan who was standing at the bow of the silver boat. They caught their breath, feeling extremely scared.
As for the way they looked at Ming Que, their eyes were filled with unusual respect.
A dark-complexioned youngster in particular had the respect and admiration that rose from his heart in his eyes when he was looking at Ming Que.
That young man’s bone age did not exceed fifteen years old. His cultivation level was just at the Tenth Level of the Vein Opening Realm. However, because he was a winged demon and had wings on his back, he could fly in the air and come to welcome Ming Que’s arrival.
But he was flying at the rear of the group and had no right to get closer to Ming Que to worship her. Clethat darkarly, it was because his status on the island was rather lowly and insignificant.
Ning Fan’s eyes scanned past the thousands of demon cultivators on the island. When he caught sight of the young man, his eyes paused at him for a while. That young man gave him a strange feeling. But he could not describe it orally in detail.
“Island Lord and Great Flamen, welcome back to the island! But why would Island Lord be travelling with Venerated Ming and the rest?”
A few experts from the demon island that were much more elderly than the others walked out from the crowd and asked Ming Que with alert and careful expressions. Ning Fan’s notoriety was too great. If they didn’t find out his intention of coming to the island, they would never be at ease.
“Venerated Ming is my big brother. He is also a dignified Fifth Revolution Biscuit Refinement Master. Out of respect for me, he certainly won’t harm any living beings on Si Kong Island. All of you can rest assured and let down your guard. There’s no need to be so afraid of him.”
Ming Que’s clear voice passed into the ears of countless cultivators on the demon island. As soon as they heard that Ning Fan was not an enemy of the island but rather Ming Que’s brother, their hearts that were on tenterhook were soothed. All of them could not feel more relieved.
“So it turns out that Venerated Ming is actually Island Lord’s big brother and not an enemy but a friend to us… Hehe. It’s good that this is the case.”
Yes. Of course, it could not be any better than this. If Ning Fan were an enemy instead of a friend to the island, he perhaps would wipe out the entire Si Kong Island and not a single person could escape from the island alive for sure.
After all, who was Ning Fan? He was a cruel and ruthless person who could even suppress a great devil clan of the hidden ocean. A mere Si Kong Demon Island naturally would not dare to provoke a vicious person like him.
When every cultivator on the demon island was heaving a sigh of relief, their faces became more respectful than before when they looked at Ning Fan.
After seeing the reactions of the cultivators on the island towards Ning Fan’s presence, Ming Que nodded his small head with satisfaction. Then, she gave an order to old Man Qu who was standing behind her.
“Grandpa Qu, I’ll give you ten days to get ready all the necessary items required for the ‘Ancestral Sacrifice’. Ten days later, I will be officially receiving the inheritance power with the help of that ceremony. Failure isn’t acceptable.” Her voice sounded childlike but her words were rather dignified.
“Ten days? Understood!” Old Man Qu certainly did not dare to slack around. He immediately commanding his people to prepare the items which would serve as the sacrificial offerings for the ceremony.
As for all the demon cultivators on the island, when they heard that Ming Que was going to accept the inheritance power, they all cheered in joy.
It was the hope of every demon cultivator on the island to let her accept the inheritance power of the island. In the past, the reason why Old Man Qu did not dare let her take it was because her cultivation base was still weak and he was worried that she might not be able to endure the massive power.
Now, however, Ning Fan was beside her to keep her safe. Her probability of successfully receiving the inheritance would without a doubt be extremely high while many safety issues were no longer worrying.
Of all the demon cultivators, only that dark-complexioned young man immediately shouted loudly to stop Ming Que after hearing that she wanted to accept the inheritance power.
“You can’t! You must not take the inheritance power!”
“Impudent! How dare a demon slave that is only responsible of looking after the statue of the princess like you behave so rudely towards the island lord. Do you know what is the punishment for your crime?!”
When the others heard the young man’s raving, many Gold Core Realm and Nascent Soul Realm cultivators immediately reprimanded him with stern voices.
“Alright, alright! A group of nasty old men bullying a young man? Aren’t you all ashamed of yourselves? *Sigh* Everybody, dismiss yourselves. I need some peace!”
When Ming Que gave an order, no one was daring to reprimand that dark-complexioned young man anymore. All the cultivators of the demon island left one after another. Even the group of Divine Transformation Realm servants she captured began to get themselves busy with the preparations of the Ancestral Sacrifice that would be held ten days later.
The dark-complexioned young man sighed in relief as he was saved from the punishments which he might face for his actions. Then, he looked at Ming Que with gratitude in his eyes. He gritted his teeth as if he wanted to tell her something.
However, Ming Que did not pay attention to this young man at all. There was only Ning Fan in her eyes. Hence, she ignored the expression on the young man’s face.
After dismissing all the nasty old men, Ming Que happily held Ning Fan and Su Yan’s hand and started touring Si Kong Demon Island.
“Brother Biscuit, accompany Ming Que to play on this island for a few days, okay? Ming Que pleaded with Ning Fan using a soft tone. Her current looked innocent and adorable. Not a hint of dignity that she had earlier when giving orders to the demon cultivators was visible in her right now.
In the past, Ming Que was just a naïve little pill devil. Now, after the life and death experiences and training in the Endless Sea, she had already known how to discern a person’s heart. Besides, she began building up her dignity as an island lord after becoming the lord of Si Kong Island. At the same time, she also developed some dark personality traits.
But no matter what, she would forever be the innocent and lively pill devil like before when she was in front of Ning Fan and it would never change.
“Okay.”
Doubtlessly, Ning Fan would not reject Ming Que’s request. However, just before he left, he gave a meaningful glance at the dark-complexioned young man and passed him a secret message through telepathy to instruct him to do something.
When that young man received Ning Fan’s instruction, his expression looked stunned instantly. He was slightly afraid but he hurriedly nodded his head without having the courage to say no to Ning Fan’s request.
As for Ning Fan, he then followed the two ladies, Ming Que and Su Yan, to have fun on Si Kong Demon Island for two consecutive days.
In those two days, Ning Fan asked Ming Que a lot of questions about the ancient demon cultivation level in an explicit manner. However, he did not get a satisfying answer.
Well, this could not be helped. Ming Que was clueless about everything regarding the ‘ancient demons’ and ‘ancient devils’. She did not know anything about them at all.
Even though she had a small amount of ancient demon power in her, she completely had no idea where this power came from.
However, Ming Que told Ning Fan that she had dreamt about the similar ancient demon power in her dreams.
The source of this kind of power seemed to be closely related with the ‘Ancestral Sacrifice’ of each of the great demon tribes. One would need to obtain some kind of ‘demon blood mark’ through the Ancestral Sacrificial in order to truly get the power. The details about the process, however, were unknown.
In reality, although Ming Que had some ancient demon power in her, she did not have that unique demon blood mark. Thus, she was not considered to be a true ancient demon.
