Chapter 542: Five Countries Nine Palaces and Thirteen Sects.
With Ning Fan around, no matter how arrogant the Rain Summoning Four Elders were, they did not dare to punish Wu Chen.
Wu Chen’s expression was filled with anxiety. According to rumors, White-Robe Marquis was a devil lord with terrifying devil prestige and he viewed people’s lives as grass. He would usually kill people when he was enraged. Hence, Wu Chen was worried that Ning Fan would kill the four elders.
All the cultivators in the Vermillion Bird City held their breath in fear as they were suppressed by the massive baleful qi and devil might that covered the entire sky.
The city became as quiet as the grave and only the noise of torrential rain and fierce storms.
Every cultivator was gulping in trepidation. If Ning Fan wants to commit a large-scale killing, not to mention the Vermillion Bird City, even the entire Zhao Country would be wiped out.
To him, the World Law of the Rain World was just some nominal laws!
Ning Fan’s eyes indifferently scanned past the four elders and shifted toward Wu Chen. When he saw Wu Chen’s anxious face, he could not help but laugh.
The conflict between Wu Chen and the Vast Heaven Palace was not big. Moreover, he did not have the intention to punish the Rain Summoning Four Elders despite being the victim. Thus, Ning Fan naturally would not kill the four of them here.
The reason why he stood up for him was just to return Wu Chen a favor by helping him sort out the problem. That was all.
With a word from him, even the Vast Heaven Palace Lord would no longer punish Wu Chen.
“Don’t worry. I came here today just to get myself drunk. I won’t kill anyone… The four of you have ruined my mood for drinking. Dismiss yourselves at once.”
After Ning Fan had finished speaking, he returned to his seat again and began drinking on his own. His expression was calm and composed and his presence did not emanate the slightest trace of baleful qi. No one could tell that he was a devil lord who could create chaos to heaven and earth.
“This…” The Rain Summoning Four Rain exchanged glances among themselves. Judging from Ning Fan’s actions, he was going to protect Wu Chen today no matter what. Thus, they would not be able capture Wu Chen back to their palace for his punishment.
The mistake that Wu Chen made was just a trivial one. The reason why the Vast Heaven Palace Lord wanted to punish was merely because he disliked his attitude of
Filler words to make up the word count.
After Si Wuxie’s clone was gone, Ning Fan stood on the reef of the South Sea.
A huge reef beside him was carved with two graceful words that were of the small plum blossom calligraphy style. They should be the words that Si Wuxie carved on the it when she was waiting for Ning Fan.
Sky’s Horizon…
Apparently, these two words that Si Wuxie left behind expressed her intention to bid farewell with Ning Fan.
Unfortunately, Ning Fan stubbornly embraced her, vowing to become her tribulation. Probably, he was not going to give her a chance to bid farewell with him…
Looking at the flowing sea water, Ning Fan’s eyes gradually turned deep.
The waves splashing on the shores had their ebbs and flows. At the end of the day, they would need to return to the vast ocean.
She belongs to Kunlun Jade Pool. She’s left…
“So after fifty years have passed, I still feel slightly reluctant…”
Ning Fan sighed gently.
He remembered the promise he made to Si Wuxie. Fifty years later, he would head to the Ancient Heavenly Court to search for the Undying Tree. Today, however, he must return to Seven Apricot City.
Just as he was about to leave, a message-transmitting flying sword suddenly appeared in the sky, flying toward him by tracking his qi.
Ning Fan made a wave with an open palm, catching the flying sword into his hand and broke it as soon as he caught it.
A voice immediately echoed into Ning Fan’s ears. It was Xu Qiuling’s voice.
“If you’ve successfully attained the Void Inquiry Stage, return as soon as possible. There are guests in Seven Apricot City – the Qiu and Han companions from the Southeastern Cultivator Union.”
Ten years had passed. Xu Qiuling had already broken through to the Mid Divine Transformation Realm and had the ability to send out message-transmitting flying sword.
Zhi He, Lan Mei, Bai Lu and others had also achieved the Gold Core Realm. Even Bai Su had already advanced to the Harmonious Spirit Realm.
Yue Lingkong, on the other hand, had a huge improvement in her magic power under the help of the moonlight gemstone that Ning Fan gave to her. However, she was still far away from advancing to the Void Pierce Stage. That moonlight gemstone was none other than the gemstone Ning Fan obtained from the auction in the Mist Horn Clan in the past.
After hearing Xu Qiuling’s voice, Ning Fan’s face looked as if he was deep in thought.
Some guests had visited Seven Apricot City. They were the Qiu and Han companions, who were members of the Southeastern Cultivator Union of the Rain World.
One hundred plus cultivation countries including Yue Country were all located at the southeastern continent of the Rain World. Before the rise of Seven Apricot City, the largest force on the continent was none other than the Southeastern Cultivator Union.
It was a union of rogue cultivators and it was led by the Qu and Han companions who were husband and wife.
The husband, Yang Qiu, was a Void Pierce Stage sword cultivator whereas the wife, Sun Han, was a Void Inquiry Stage zither cultivator.
Countless thoughts ran across Ning Fan’s mind. However, he could not figure out what brought them to Seven Apricot City.
The only thing about the Southeastern Cultivator Union that concerned him was Yun Ruowei. When he parted aways with Yun Ruowei in Great Jin in the past, she said that she wanted to leave the Rain Palace and join the Southeastern Cultivator Union.
“Yun Ruowei… In Great Jin, I’d seen Ning Qian and Yun Tianjue in her dreams… According to rumors, the reason why she could join the Rain Palace despite her demon body was because of Yun Tianjue’s recommendation…”
“If I am not mistaken, the winged demon in her dream, Ning Qian, is my mum… Yun Tianjue has lost his memories and he can’t remember who Ning Qian is. Hence, I can’t ascertain the relationship between him and Ning Tian. Yun Ruowei, however, must know it. With her help, I might be able to find Ning Qian…”
“Ning Qian… My mother… I was born without a parent. If I can find my mother, it’ll really make me at a loss of what to do…”
“Dong Xu once helped me perform divination on my mother in the past and found out that she isn’t dead yet. She’s still in the Rain World… As a son, I have to find her whereabouts in order to put my mind at rest…”
Ning Fan shook his head and smiled. Speaking of Old Ancestor Dong Xu, he once promised him to help him achieve the Void Refinement Realm.
Ten years have already passed. I guess he probably is already fully prepared for that breakthrough. If I have time, I’ll help him to advance to the Void Refinement Realm in the Sovereign’s Tomb.
With Ning Fan’s current understanding of the ‘void’, it should not be difficult for him to aid Dong Xu in achieving that breakthrough.
