46 Lin Fans New Life (2/2)
Apparently Nine Deathtraps are ancient places where countless ancient and modern powerhouses have lost their lives. There were rumors too regarding such places like an ancient ferocious dragon had passed away in the Heaven Dragon Cave. A celestial was also apparently buried in the Celestial Burial Valley. Buttface was listening them and denied the rumors, but Xu Que through his cunning found out a loophole in his story and cursed the stupid dog for his bragging. Then a little war of words of Liu Jingning and Buttface broke out because of stupid dog disrespectful words towards Liu Jingning. They continued and journey again was filled with lightning thunders showering on the passing cultivators making them his enemy. They are aware of deeds of this man too, and named him 'Lightning Rogue', which made Liu Jingning laugh at him. Xu Que became angry and used his Dark Buster Sword to blow away all attacking cultivators at once. After three days, they had to stop at a place several hundred kilometers from Celestial Burial Valley, as this area was packed with tens of thousands of cultivators. Even Void Training stage cultivators were present here.
Xu Que, ”What the hell? How can they be faster than us?”
Liu Jingning thought that Old man of Heaven Secret Pavilion must have foretold precise location of Jiang Hongyang to others.
Xu Que cursed old man and decided to destroy this Heaven Secret Pavilion once this business is done here. Liu Jingning warned that although Old Man of Heaven Secret himself is not unbeatable but even Form Synthesis realm experts come to ask his help or advice.
But Xu Que retorted shamelessly, ”Oh, really?! If he is really that powerful, why on earth hasn't he predicted the consequences of offending me?!”
Liu Jingning took it as nonsense spouted by Xu Que as she is not really familiar with Xu Que or his methods.
This old man charged expensive life enhancing elixirs that can raise his life by double for divination as his own life is shortened whenever he predicts something, so anybody can have idea how much these cultivators had spend for his service. This also shows the power and popularity of the old man. Also these cultivators spending so much clearly means they are hell bent on killing Jiang Hongyan. Suddenly a young man in black appeared in the sky. He was holy son (something like young nobles, just like holy virgin Liu Jingning) of Heavenly Demon Sect, 'Xiao Munan'. And soon lots of others influential holy sons and virgins popped up among the crowd. Xu Que and Liu Jingning were disguised so no one could recognize them. Xu Que wished to attack so many preys for his leveling up, but was stopped by Liu Jingning who warned him that he can't even beat her let alone all those strong powerhouses of Void Training Realm because they have some Taoist Connotation. But before Xu Que can ask her about this connotation, an announcement was made by Jiang Family head, 'Jiang Yushu' to cooperate with each other through alliance to destroy the future threat Jiang Hongyan or entire East Continent will be cursed. Even at infant transformation stage she is such a big threat, but once she overcomes this tribulation she will be like a walking bomb of bad luck on this continent.
Xu Que was surprised to see the alliance of all three families even after the troubles he created among them earlier. Maybe Jiang family compromised with other families by paying them huge price or benefits. But Xu Que sneered as he will surely break this alliance with his evil mind. But Liu Jingning reminded him that most important matter at hand is finding Jiang Hongyang first. Xu Que understood that and agreed but smiled as in his eyes all the crowd here is prey in his eyes, he won't leave a single one alive and convert them into experience points. They easily mixed up in crowd, but that doggie Buttface was eye catching to crowd, and they suspected this trio. Around 100 cultivators recognized Buttface as his butt was bald and formed a group to attack on them.
Other big families were interested to know about identity of this guy too, but knowing that he is just a backstabber known as Lightning Rogue they lost their interest, as their main purpose was something else. Jiang Family worried that Jiang Hongyan might seize the power back after becoming stronger. Other two families were worried that Jiang Family which was already number one might be strengthened further if Jiang Hongyan crosses her tribulation and, they won't have any chance to compete with it anymore. Holy Sons and Virgins had an agreement where whomsoever gonna kill Jiang Hongyan will become number 1 Holy Son or Virgin in East Continent.
Xiao Munan claimed that he will be the one to kill Jiang Hongyan. Bai Lingrui who was holy virgin of Bai Family mocked him by revealing that once he had tried courting Jiang Hongyan but was rejected. Xiao Munan took his revenge by revealing that even Bai Lingrui was copycat who called Hongyan as 'Sister Hongyan' to get elixirs from her.
A newcomer arrived at scene who was named as Huang Zaitian, and his identity is guardian of Carefree Building which was not a big power in East Continent but none of the big families dared to provoke it, as Carefree Building is established by a group of young genius cultivators. Although currently they are not having any Form Synthesis Stage Cultivator but in future when even a single one of them reach that stage then it will be no less than any big family out there. Carefree Building was recently discovered by other big families when these geniuses have grown to Void Training Stage or otherwise if they were weaker then the 3 big families would've eliminated them early. Dong Genji was the head of this Carefree Building. If Jiang Hongyang is said as Number 1 among peers then this Dong Genji was number 2 in ranks. He had also courted Jiang Hongyan and faced rejection just like Xiao Munan.
Later Huang Zaitian declared that its ok if others interrupt in heavenly tribulation to destroy cultivation of Jiang Hongyang but if anybody dared to kill her then he will become enemy of Carefree Building.

Meanwhile in Slaughter Cosmos, Shi Yan was about to go crazy. Everybody was worried, but Shi Yan came forward and told them his negative aura will burst soon as he has not refined even Gan Fu's energy let alone others. He presented his idea, that he and Mei Ji will separate from the group to stabilize his condition and others will go towards entrance of desolate territory killing anything that comes their way. Moreover killings taking place in different places from different parties will confuse the enemies about exact location. And everybody is aware about identity of Shi Yan and Mei Ji only and rest are just strangers for anybody that's why it is the perfect grouping for them. Audrey wanted to go with Shi Yan's group too but she was the strongest descendant of Dark Tribe, that's why Ming Hao and Ming Hong were against this idea, and thus Shi Yan's idea was approved by all in the end. Shi Yan asked Ming Hong to carve path towards desolate territory entrance on his compass too, so that if they can't reunite along their paths even then he can make it back to his homeland without any support.
Mei Ji was secretly happy as he chose her over Audrey. They were in remote sea area. Mei Ji expressed her will to go to Phantom Clan's headquarters as they will be safe there. But Shi Yan retorted her that he's currently only at First Sky of Immortal Realm that's why their clan members will target him and can even kill him to acquire tower for themselves as he is not from their clan.
Shi Yan eyes were getting redder now, he has to soon vent out his negative feelings either on this woman or some other random one. And finally after not finding anybody he pinned down Mei Ji only after making a secret shelter in hollow of a tree. To vent out his negative energy he must do this due to his strange devouring cultivation techniques. Moreover this can help in quick growth in cultivation of Mei Ji too, he explained himself this way. He also made her happy by saying that she is better than Audrey or other woman that's why he has chosen her as his target.
Moaning sounds echoed from the hollowed tree.**Censored**
[Stonexia was somehow effected by this scene too. He left and went to Cultivation Cosmos to find Maya Yrrah and pin her down as well... **Censored**]
