Chapter 1187: Ancestor Leize
Chapter 1187: Ancestor Leize
Ning Fan single-handedly eliminated hundreds of Second Step masters and even killed an Eternal Immortal Venerable. The disturbance was too great, and the regional battle had to be temporarily halted.
At this moment, everyone, no matter how foolish, could see that the Black Evil Sect had truly hit the jackpot by recruiting a super strong figure who could slay an Eternal Immortal Venerable!
Countless people secretly speculated about Ning Fan’s real cultivation: being able to kill an Eternal Immortal Venerable, even if he wasn’t an Immortal Emperor, he was probably a top expert among Immortal Kings.
Some thought deeper: with Black Evil Sect’s limited resources, how could they possibly enlist an Immortal King?
No doubt!
Ning Fan wasn’t an outside-recruited Guest Elder at all!
Ning Fan’s real identity was an ancient practitioner of the Black Evil Sect, slumbering in the Heaven Evading Coffin. He emerged from the coffin to seek justice for the Black Evil Sect, which had been bullied for so long!
"Despicable! These regional battles are supposed to be between younger generations, yet Black Evil Sect let their slumbering Immortal King senior participate! This is bullying! It’s unfair!"
"Haha, bullying or not, is it forbidden by the rules? But the fact that Black Evil Sect has such an old monster slumbering is quite a rare news; I’ve never heard of this before..."
"Just because you haven’t heard of it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist! Not long ago, Pure Yang Sect was exposed to have a slumbering Quasi-Saint. Before this was revealed, even Pure Yang Sect itself didn’t realize they had a Quasi-Saint. This seems a similar case; you should have seen those at Black Evil Sect—all were stunned, clearly unaware that their sect had such an Immortal King monster slumbering..."
"But it’s still strange. If Black Evil Sect had such an old monster slumbering, why didn’t they act when the sect was bullied in the past? Just revealing there’s an Immortal King sleeping in Black Evil Sect would have deterred anyone from bullying them..."
"You’re unaware, Daoist. It’s rumored that Sparrow God Kidd-level old monsters within Four Oceans Sect are hostile towards Black Evil Sect. If my guess is correct, Black Evil Sect’s enemies have never been actual True Immortal forces. This Immortal King would never have bothered to act unless Black Evil Sect were heavily oppressed this time by Purple Robe Palace..."
"What! Sparrow God Kidd-level old monsters from Four Oceans Sect? Aren’t there only twenty-eight Ancient Emperor of Stars? Why would such supreme beings hold grudges against Black Evil Sect?"
"You ask me, whom should I ask? These are just rumors I heard by chance; who knows if they’re true..."
"But it’s still peculiar; I just contacted my ancestral master, who said he researched Black Evil Sect’s history, finding no old senior Immortal King named Ning Fan. Plus, Four Oceans Sect seems never to have issued a Heaven Evading Coffin to Black Evil Sect, so how did this person end up slumbering..."
"What’s so strange about it! The name Ning Fan is likely an alias, or the name recorded in Black Evil Sect’s history wasn’t real. As for the Heaven Evading Coffin, this person probably acquired it through other means..."
Countless people discussed in secret.
Countless people secretly spread the news about what happened here through various channels.
Ning Fan didn’t pay attention to those discussions; after causing such a stir, he didn’t leave Purple Clothes Star but returned with several Black Evil Sect masters to rest.
Such a significant incident can’t be ignored by Four Oceans Sect, which is why he stayed here to see how Four Oceans Sect would handle this issue.
Eternal Immortal Venerable was killed, the Sect Leader was killed, twenty elite masters of a sect all died in the arena, and Purple Robe Palace instantly plummeted to a third-rate power.
Those Purple Robe Palace masters, when hosting Black Evil Sect masters again, no longer showed any arrogance; they were careful, completely afraid of offending the Black Evil Sect guarded by an Immortal King.
Regarding his cultivation and background, Ning Fan didn’t explain much to the Black Evil Sect crowd, merely demonstrating the Sect Leader’s Cultivation Technique—Black Evil Formula—and then entered seclusion.
The seclusion was to take Dao Fruit, aiming to refine the Dao Fruit for substantial cultivation enhancement.
...
Outside Ning Fan’s room, Han Shiqi and others were full of joy, astonished that Ning Fan truly mastered the Black Evil Formula!
As the Sect Leader’s Cultivation Technique of Black Evil Sect, the Black Evil Formula is somewhat special; it’s not just a technique but a testament to loyalty to Black Evil.
To master the Black Evil Formula is not difficult; however, if you’re not a Black Evil Sect practitioner or have betrayed Black Evil Sect, the cultivation technique would disperse, rendering it unattainable.
There’s only one reason Ning Fan can use the Black Evil Formula!
He once served as the Black Evil Sect Leader!
He has never betrayed the Black Evil Sect!
He’s genuinely one of us!
"There’s no doubt about Senior Ning’s identity! He’s one of our Black Evil Sect’s people, certainly an ancient, slumbering practitioner of our Black Evil Sect!"
"I didn’t expect there’s a strong figure slumbering in our Black Evil Sect!"
"Our Black Evil Sect will surely rise!"
"By the way! Why don’t we ask this senior to retrieve the Sect Leader from the lower realms back to the upper realms..."
"Hmm, it’s certain that we should ask Senior to help with this, but he’s currently in seclusion, so let’s not disturb him. Heaven Evading Coffin has many side effects; since Senior’s emergence from the coffin isn’t brief, he probably needs ample rest, let’s not disturb..."
The Black Evil Sect crowd each returned to their rooms to rest.
Outside Ning Fan’s room, only Bei Li remained standing, her beautiful eyes filled with worry.
All those Black Evil Sect practitioners thoroughly believed Ning Fan’s identity, believing he was an ancient, slumbering senior of the Black Evil Sect.
But she didn’t believe!
She had personally witnessed Ning Fan’s Divinity Transformation back then, and only a few hundred years have passed since. It’s impossible to reach Immortal King Realm from Divinity Transformation in a few hundred years, even with temporal treasures to aid!
"Could it be... Young Master Ning’s cultivation wasn’t achieved through his own effort but acquired through some sort of similar deity-like inheritance, suddenly elevating him to Immortal King Realm? I’ve heard my master mention several methods for such rapid cultivation elevation; none of them don’t require tremendous resources, even some Immortal Emperors can’t afford them. Yet, any Immortal King elevated by such methods would not only destroy their foundation, making further cultivation impossible, but also lose the qualification for longevity. After receiving such a transmission, they will die within a thousand years..."
"There’s another possibility... Young Master Ning is already dead. He’s been Corpse Seized by some Immortal King monster and died, which is why he shows Immortal King cultivation. Additionally, that’s probably why he initially couldn’t recognize me and needed to sift through memories to identify me..."
The more Bei Li thought, the more confused she became; none of the scenarios were what she hoped for.
She waited outside Ning Fan’s room for a month.
A month later, Ning Fan emerged from seclusion, his mana rising to fourteen thousand two hundred tribulations!
A total increase of five hundred tribulations in mana!
After ten thousand tribulations, increasing mana is extremely difficult.
Regarding this level of mana enhancement, Immortal Venerable and Immortal King Dao Fruits have weak effects; over twenty Dao Fruits collectively increased less than ten tribulations in mana.
Instead, the Immortal Emperor Dao Fruit alone increased Ning Fan’s mana by five hundred tribulations, surprising him greatly.
Unexpectedly, after ten thousand tribulations, Immortal Emperor Dao Fruits still have such a significant effect. It seems, from now on, he should indeed seek more Immortal Emperor Dao Fruits for cultivation enhancement...
Cultivation enhancement achieved through Dao Fruits, verified by Multi-Layer Soul Sealing Technique, is confirmed to have no hidden dangers.
In this way, the unimpeded mana within Ning Fan’s body soared to the level of Five-Hundred Tribulation Power, reaching the level of a Newly Ascended Immortal Venerable.
"Hmm? Young lady, are you waiting for me here?"
As soon as Ning Fan stepped out of the room, he saw Bei Li and was slightly surprised, then chuckled.
He had forgotten that he previously promised Bei Li to help remove the schemes within her body. It seemed Bei Li was waiting here for this matter...
Bei Li hesitated to speak, and finally bit her lip, asking concernedly.
"Young Master Ning, be honest with me, did you use the infusion secret technique to forcibly raise your cultivation..."
"Are you worried about me?" Ning Fan was taken aback.
"Don’t overthink it, Young Master. I was just... casually asking."
"Haha, it’s only natural for you to be curious because, in your view, it’s only been a few hundred years since we first met. But in reality, using some time-related magical treasures, I have been cultivating alone for tens of thousands of years. With my aptitude and some fortuitous encounters, is it strange to have reached my current realm after tens of thousands of years?" Ning Fan chuckled.
"Young Master’s aptitude is unparalleled. With some fortuitous encounters, reaching the Immortal King Realm in tens of thousands of years is quite acceptable. A ten-thousand-year-old Immortal King would be shocking in the Era of Decline. Young Master is indeed a genius of the times! So, you’re not being possessed by someone else? That’s good..." Bei Li’s heart was relieved, and she let out a sigh of relief.
"Possessed by someone else? What strange thoughts are those for a young lady..."
Ning Fan could only smile wryly and suddenly thought of the matters of Sparrow God Kidd from back in the day, then fell silent. Possession is indeed quite common in the cultivation world, so it’s understandable that Bei Li asked.
Ning Fan was quite grateful for Bei Li’s concern.
Thus, when treating her, he was even more diligent. Ning Fan brought Bei Li back inside, and after a round of treatment, he extracted a blue water Gu insect from Bei Li’s palm, the insect’s body flickering between reality and illusion, quite peculiar.
The Gu insect was sticky and soft, and thinking about how this creature had been lurking within her made Bei Li nauseated.
"This is a Water Transformation Insect. It grows and breeds by absorbing water-attributed mana. Judging from the marks on the insect, it has been lurking inside you for several months and is nearing its breeding stage. If discovered a few months later, it would truly enter its breeding period and lay eggs inside you. Removing the insect at that time would require destroying all your cultivation to eradicate all the eggs..." Ning Fan explained.
He had little study on Gu insects, but he had traveled to many places and encountered many peculiar insects, and he happened to recognize the Water Transformation Insect.
Thinking about how, months later, this insect would breed inside her, Bei Li felt a wave of nausea and discomfort.
The Great Elder Faction actually used such disgusting methods to scheme against her, how vicious!
"This time, thank you, Young Master, for your assistance. Bei Li will have nothing but gratitude and will repay you whenever needed in the future."
"It’s nothing. After removing this insect, the host will have a period of weakness, so you should not go out and rest more these few days."
"Yes, I’ve been feeling a bit dizzy and fatigued, and I wanted to go back to rest for a while. So, I won’t disturb Young Master any longer. By the way, Young Master should be careful recently. I’ve heard from Yishi Palace’s channels that due to the commotion you’ve caused, Four Oceans Sect has already sent people to deal with this matter..."
Bei Li got such secretive information from Yishi Palace, which she shouldn’t have told Ning Fan, but she still did.
However, she didn’t know much—only that Four Oceans Sect would send people to handle this matter; she didn’t know who or how precisely.
Seeing Bei Li off, Ning Fan suddenly looked into the courtyard and said to the empty spot, "You’ve been here for twenty-seven days already, why haven’t you shown yourself?"
As soon as Ning Fan finished speaking, a soft gasp emerged from the emptiness of the courtyard.
Then, a gentle breeze blew by, transforming into a thin, monkey-like elder. With a flick of his sleeve, the surrounding world shifted amidst the fierce winds.
Ning Fan’s vision blurred, and the next moment, he was forcibly confined to a gray world by the thin monkey elder.
This thin monkey elder was surprisingly a Quasi-Saint!
This world was filled with immense traces of the Dao of Wind!
"Here is... the Palatial Void of Wind Control Position! No, it’s similar to but different from the Palatial Void..." Ning Fan’s eyes slightly narrowed.
Even with his mana sealed, Ning Fan was not someone any Quasi-Saint could effortlessly capture. This thin monkey elder managed to forcefully contain him using techniques far from ordinary, resembling the Palatial Void methods!
"Interesting little fellow, you’re merely an Immortal King, yet can perceive my wind body’s traces and uncover the mysteries of this void world. Unfortunately, you made a slight mistake; this is not the Palatial Void you thought, but a Titled Void!
A Titled Void...
"Why has Your Excellency taken action against me?" Ning Fan calmly asked.
The calmness stemmed from not sensing any killing intent from the thin monkey elder. Ning Fan could hear the voices of all things, easily sensing others’ goodwill or malice.
"How dare you ask!"
The elder glared at Ning Fan with dissatisfaction, continuing, "Little friend, do you realize how many celestial rules you violated in the regional battle? Killing those hundreds of contestants was within the rules, that much is alright, but you also killed the Sect Leader of Purple Robe Palace and the Immortal Venerable Ancestor of that Palace. These two didn’t participate in the arena battle, so if truly pursued, you would be charged with crimes at least nineteen levels severe. Having been shown favor by Nangong Divine Master of Liangyi Sect and knowing that your Black Evil Sect is the rightful successor of Liangyi Sect’s traditions, it pains me to see a promising Immortal King like you have your cultivation abolished and be relegated to the lower realms. Therefore, I am here to save you. Next, I will lead you to the Zi Clan to apologize, turning a major matter into a minor one."
"Zi Clan?"
"It seems you truly are unaware! Behind the Purple Robe Palace is the Zi Clan! Killing the Immortal Venerable of Purple Robe Palace is one thing, but offending the Zi Clan is far too serious! Even if the Zi Clan charges you with violating celestial rules, I might not be able to protect you! The foundation of a secret clan is beyond your imagination, especially the secret clans of Northern Heaven, whose depth is unmatched by the other Three Heavens..." The elder spoke with deep fear.
"So then..." Ning Fan frowned, having killed those from Purple Robe Palace without knowing they were backed by such a formidable force like the Zi Clan. Thus, he unintentionally became enemies with the Zi Clan, which was not his intention.
"So, I will take you to the Zi Clan to apologize."
"I see... Thank you for your kindness. However, I don’t believe I’ve done anything wrong, so I refuse to apologize to anyone." After a moment of silence, Ning Fan ultimately shook his head, rejecting the elder’s goodwill.
Ning Fan had figured out that this Quasi-Saint from Four Oceans Sect sought him out solely to mediate with no malice whatsoever.
When he killed the people, he didn’t know about the hidden support of the Zi Clan. No one wishes to offend a secret clan without reason, but Ning Fan didn’t consider defending the Black Evil Sect as wrong.
It was the people from Purple Robe Palace who were at fault, repeatedly oppressing Black Evil Sect. What Ning Fan did was merely a counterattack. Even if he had known beforehand about the possible enmity with the Zi Clan, he wouldn’t hold back from killing those he deemed necessary. Should the Zi Clan be reasonable, they’d naturally not blame him; if they were unreasonable, he saw no need for apologies.
"Such an interesting little guy. Even hearing the Zi Clan’s name, you remain unmoved. I don’t know whether to call you brave or foolish... fine! To preserve your life and maintain a precious Immortal King for the Black Evil Sect, I will bring you to Zi Clan to apologize, even forcibly if needed. The dominance of Zi Clan is beyond your imagination! Young man, remember—living in this world, one must bow when necessary, as excessive rigidity will only lead you to being broken by the wind!"
The Titled Artifact appears!
With the elder’s hands clasped, fierce winds surged heavenwards into a massive, mountain-sized azure wind pouch, which opened wide, sending forth a powerful reverse wind towards Ning Fan’s position, with endless suction attempting to pull him into the pouch!
"An Innate Mid-grade Treasure? No, this treasure isn’t corporeal!"
A sudden crisis emerged in Ning Fan’s heart. Barely at the sight of the wind pouch, his entire body turned into a stream of light, immediately covering much distance, evading the wind pouch’s onslaught.
Ning Fan evaded swiftly, retreating significantly! However, the wind pouch’s Divine Skill seemed to ignore spatial distances, capable of capturing him regardless of his location, eerily deceptive!
Under the great sway of grayish light between heaven and earth, the next instant, though having seemingly escaped, Ning Fan was forcibly drawn into the pouch, ignoring spatial separation.
He was captured by the thin monkey elder in a single encounter! This elder was evidently an elite among First Order Quasi-Saints!
After capturing Ning Fan, the Wind Pouch flew back to the skinny old monkey’s hand and transformed back into a small gray cloth bag about the size of a palm. Inside the bag, Ning Fan attempted to break free. Unfortunately, it was useless!
With the mana he could wield at the moment, without using special means, it was absolutely impossible to escape from the Wind Pouch.
"Not bad, little fellow. Your extreme speed of escape in an instant is almost not much weaker than my Wind Escape Technique. Unfortunately, my Wind Master’s Pocket is somewhat special; no matter how fast or far you flee, as long as there is wind where you stand, it can immediately pull you back into the pouch with the force of the wind. And once you’re in the pouch, unless you have Quasi-Saint cultivation, there’s no way you can escape. Little guy, resign yourself to fate and come with me to the Zi Clan. I assure you, as long as you bow your head and admit your mistakes to the Zi Clan, I will guarantee your safety and won’t let anyone harm you... What!"
The skinny old monkey was persuading in front of the Wind Pouch when suddenly his expression changed drastically.
Behold! The Wind Pouch was suddenly pierced by countless thorns, a large number of thorns pierced through it and forcibly grew out!
Those were not ordinary thorns!
With the experience of the skinny old monkey, he recognized at a glance that these thorns were actually very similar to the Netherworld Ghost Flowers mentioned in some ancient texts!
"Could it be! This kid is actually a contractor of those legendary ghost flowers! This is bad!"
Bang!
More branches pierced the Wind Pouch, forcibly growing out!
Those were the branches of the Soul-Devouring Tree!
Moreover, countless Quasi-Saint-level attacks were recklessly unleashed inside the Wind Pouch. Finally, the Wind Pouch, unable to bear the pressure, was blasted apart by the Soul-Devouring Tree, shattered into countless rags, and then the rags turned into a gentle breeze and dissipated.
Ning Fan stood on the shoulder of the Soul-Devouring Tree-man, breaking his way out of the Wind Pouch, escaping!
"Truly inconceivable, you as a little Immortal King, actually possess Undying Ghost Soldiers of Quasi-Saint Level!" the skinny old monkey said with a bitter smile.
"I understand that Senior’s intentions were good, but I hope Senior will stay out of my matters with the Zi Clan," Ning Fan said.
The skinny old monkey gave Ning Fan a deep look and suddenly laughed, "Good, good, good! The Nangong Divine Master is succeeded! The Liangyi Sect is succeeded! You, are excellent! As for your issues with the Zi Clan, I will not interfere! And regarding your violation of the heavenly laws in the regional battle, I’ll cover it for you! But, let this not set a precedent! Heavenly laws are heavenly laws, before you truly reach my level, it’s best to violate them as little as possible in the future!"
Still the tone of an elder treating a junior!
In fact, if the truth be told, this skinny old monkey, considered as someone from the Nangong Divine Master’s school, is an ancient figure of the Liangyi Sect; Liangyi Sect being the predecessor of the Black Evil Sect, the skinny old monkey is indeed Ning Fan’s senior.
The Black Evil Sect has a tradition of protecting its own. This tradition actually existed as far back as the days of the Liangyi Sect and has been passed down to the era of the Black Evil Sect.
If not for this relationship, and given the Quasi-Saint’s fear of the karma of the mortal world, the skinny old monkey would never trouble himself, getting involved in Ning Fan’s affairs with the Zi Clan.
"Is Senior going to open the Titled Void and let me out, or should I shatter the void myself to leave?" Ning Fan’s tone was very polite, but this politeness carried a sense of estrangement.
Evidently, Ning Fan didn’t have much fondness for this senior who came knocking and tried to capture him, and he didn’t seem to appreciate the elder’s praise at all.
"What an interesting young man, what kind of tone is that? Are you upset with me? Angry that I tried to capture you as soon as we met?"
The skinny old monkey was taken aback, then laughed heartily, "Good spirit! That’s just my type! No wonder you don’t like me, no one would have a good impression of someone trying to capture them the moment they meet. If you were grateful to me, I’d actually suspect you were being insincere. The tradition of the Liangyi Sect dictates that if you do something wrong, you must make amends! Even seniors are no exception! Anyway, having acted against you, I owe you compensation, for which I’ll give you something later. But right now, I need to have a word with that old thing Extreme Ice, so let’s put the compensation on hold..."
While speaking, the originally lazy gaze of the skinny old monkey suddenly turned sharp, and with a big hand grasp, a fierce wind arose between heaven and earth, grabbing out countless small hailstone-like ice shards with the wind and crushing them fiercely.
Ning Fan’s eyes showed a slight surprise, but not because of these small ice shards. In fact, he had long been aware of their existence and had seen through that this was a perceptive secret technique similar to the Heaven Prying Rain Technique. Ning Fan even sensed who was using these ice shards to spy on him.
It was the slumbering Quasi-Saint of the White Demon Sect!
Ever since Ning Fan caused a stir in the regional battle, the Quasi-Saint of the White Demon Sect had begun to secretly observe him!
Ning Fan was surprised that the skinny old monkey would actually take action to crush these ice shards. Was this person not afraid of offending the Quasi-Saint of the White Demon Sect...
"Extreme Ice! However you usually scheme against the Black Evil Sect’s Leader’s Command, I don’t care! But this kid represents the true heritage of our Liangyi Sect, and if you dare harm him, then you will be opposing Leize and face the consequences!"
It sounded like a threat, a warning!
...
At the same time, far away in the White Demon Sect, the slumbering Extreme Ice Immortal suddenly spat out a Blood Arrow.
"Leize old dog, how dare you! You actually have the gall to meddle in the affairs of my Liangyi Sect! Just because you became a titular apprentice of Nangong Divine Master back then, do you really think you’re considered a disciple of the Liangyi Sect! You are an outsider, just an outsider! That damn tradition of the Liangyi Sect, does it apply to you! Do you think with a ’Wind Master’ title you’re invincible! Just wait! I’ll remember this, just you wait!"
Extreme Ice Immortal said hatefully.
...
"Alright, the pesky fly has been chased away, come with me to a place and I’ll give you some gifts as compensation!" Ancestor Leize said with a smile.
"I won’t go." Ning Fan shook his head, having no interest at all in the compensation from Ancestor Leize.
"Really won’t go? That place has plenty of materials to make Undying Ghost Soldiers, you know?"
"...What place?" Ning Fan’s eyes moved, clearly interested in the place Ancestor Leize mentioned.
"The forbidden area of the Light Clan! Will you go or not!"
"I won’t go." Ning Fan replied speechlessly. The forbidden area of an entire clan, is that a place an outsider like him can just casually enter!
He had already possibly offended the Zi Clan by killing people from the Purple Robe Palace, and now going to the Light Clan’s forbidden area—what if he offended the Light Clan too? He’s not afraid of problems but he doesn’t want to invite trouble for no reason either!
"I know what you’re worried about, but rest assured, there’s been a change in the Light Clan’s forbidden area, it’s full of fierce creatures you can kill, and there are plenty of materials for making Undying Ghost Soldiers. You can go in and kill as you please, not only will you not offend the Light Clan, but you’ll actually gain their favor. Those creatures are a big headache for the Light Clan..."
"I won’t go."
Ning Fan didn’t trust Ancestor Leize.
If he went to the Light Clan’s forbidden area and got schemed by Ancestor Leize, ending up in a life-and-death feud with the Light Clan... what then?
He is not familiar with the Northern Heaven, and can’t help but assume the worst about people’s intentions.
"...Fine, if you don’t want to go, I won’t force you. You can’t blame me for violating the Liangyi Sect’s tradition if you don’t want compensation. I had intended to help you kill some fierce creatures and make a second Undying Ghost Soldier of Quasi-Saint Level..." Ancestor Leize emphasized the words "Quasi-Saint Ghost Soldier."
"..." Unfortunately, Ning Fan remained unmoved. If he wanted another Quasi-Saint Ghost Soldier, he could make one himself, rather than going to do it with someone he barely knew.
"Alright, alright, you win. Is your guard up that high, am I really that untrustworthy! Whether you want to go or not!"
Ancestor Leize couldn’t be bothered with Ning Fan anymore, he unlocked the Titled Void, and the two reappeared in the courtyard of the outside world.
Ancestor Leize was just about to leave this place and return to the headquarters of the Four Oceans Sect when suddenly there came a sound of alarm from inside his storage pouch.
Beep beep beep!
"What a headache, something has gone wrong again..."
Ancestor Leize took out his personal Starry Sky Crystal Replica, glanced at it casually, and then let out a soft ’huh’.
It happened just like that!
The moment he mentioned the Light Clan’s forbidden land to Ning Fan, it immediately had an incident.
Ring ring ring!
Another communication dark jade order medal rang.
Ancestor Leize felt a great headache, he knew without looking who was contacting him.
This communication dark jade order medal is known only by the Four Oceans Sect’s master—Tongtian Ancient Emperor.
Ancestor Leize lazily opened the communication dark jade order medal, not avoiding Ning Fan. Therefore, Ning Fan heard the voice of Tongtian Ancient Emperor coming from the medal.
"Old Leize, we’ve encountered some trouble, Elder Huo and Elder Shi are guarding the Boundary River, only you can handle this..."
"Not going! I’m not the Light Clan’s servant. Their forbidden land has problems, why should I go!" Ancestor Leize’s tone was very unruly, showing no respect to Tongtian Ancient Emperor.
"Ah, the Light Clan’s Quasi-Saints are all at the Boundary River fighting, there are only some Immortal Emperors in the clan... The deepest layer of the Light Ancestor Abyss isn’t accessible to ordinary Immortal Emperors... Old Leize, only you can handle this. If you don’t go, the troubles for those trapped in the abyss will be immense. The only girl who resonated with the Stone Warriors of the Eight Formations is also there." Tongtian Ancient Emperor said hesitantly.
"What! The fourth miss of Yishi Palace is also there! This is really troublesome. The Stone Warriors of the Eight Formations are the foundation of Northern Heaven. Her importance is self-evident. If anything happens to her in the Light Ancestor Abyss... Ah, it seems I really have to make a trip..."
"Haha, with Old Leize stepping in, I can rest assured."
After hanging up the communication dark jade order medal, Ancestor Leize exhibited a rare look of seriousness, planning to make a trip to the Light Clan.
The identity of the fourth miss of Yishi Palace is rather special; in the past, whenever she encountered difficulties, he often offered assistance; similarly, he often rescued other Northern Heaven geniuses with unique identities.
If Ning Fan hadn’t gotten involved, this would just be another of the countless ordinary rescue missions.
But since this matter involved the fourth miss of Yishi Palace, Ning Fan was bound to get involved.
The fourth miss of Yishi Palace was indeed Bei Xiao Man!
"Senior, do you have the star diagram of the Light Clan, give me a copy, I’ll take you to the Light Clan." Ning Fan frowned and asked.
"Uh, you’ve made up your mind? Planning to go to the Light Clan to make Undying Ghost Soldiers? But unfortunately, there’s a problem with the forbidden land of the Light Clan, it’s very dangerous, not suitable to take you in to create Ghost Soldiers for now..."
"My speed is faster than yours, I’ll take you to the Light Clan, it saves time! Making Ghost Soldiers doesn’t matter, rescue first!" Ning Fan explained.
"What! You claim your speed is faster than mine? Impossible! Wind Masters are known for their speed! How can you be faster than the current Wind Master! I don’t believe it!"
Thus, Ancestor Leize, not willing to believe, disclosed the location of the Light Clan to Ning Fan.
In almost ten breaths, Ning Fan took Ancestor Leize, traversing countless galaxies, and reached the Light Clan!
Six Paths Portal! Ning Fan’s original creation! Fastest teleportation!
"What! This is the Ancient Demon Cavity! No, wrong! This is your self-created teleportation technique! Too fast! Even the Ancient Demon Cavity couldn’t cover such a distance in ten breaths, at least it would take dozens... kid, are you really an Immortal King!" Ancestor Leize was deeply shocked.
"..." Ning Fan didn’t bother to explain much to Ancestor Leize.
He didn’t even care to ask for Ancestor Leize’s name.
With Ning Fan’s increasingly profound divination cultivation, if Bei Xiao Man were truly in life-threatening danger, he would have a spontaneous insight, maybe even directly predict through reincarnation.
Since he had no such reaction, it proves that Bei Xiao Man wouldn’t face any life-threatening crisis on this journey. With someone like Ancestor Leize, a Quasi-Saint, in the picture, even if Ning Fan didn’t care about Bei Xiao Man, she would be saved.
But having heard that Bei Xiao Man was in trouble, how could Ning Fan sit idly by.
He didn’t know what change occurred in the Light Clan’s forbidden land, but if the fierce creatures there dared to harm Bei Xiao Man even a little, he wouldn’t mind slaughtering every creature inside!
"Hey! Little one, your killing intent is showing! This is the Light Clan, exhibiting such strong killing intent, are you trying to trick me into bringing you to slaughter the Light Clan! Yes, you must have heard my conversation with Tongtian kid, knowing the Light Clan currently lacks Quasi-Saints for protection! Kid, I warn you, the Light Clan has lost countless lives for the Northern Boundary River’s battle, even if you’re my junior, a legacy bearer of the Liangyi Sect, I absolutely won’t allow you to lay hands on the Light Clan!" Ancestor Leize warned sternly.
"...You’re overthinking." Ning Fan, although reluctant to engage with Ancestor Leize, replied this time to avoid any serious misunderstanding.
Almost instantaneously when they appeared there, dozens of Light Clan masters assembled and came forth, cheering upon recognizing Ancestor Leize.
"It’s Old Leize! He’s here again to help us guard the abyss! That’s great!"
"Hmph! Enough chatter! Lead the way quickly! Which abyss entrance is having issues this time?" Ancestor Leize said with a cold snort, yet in his inquiries, a trace of care could be detected.
Not until this moment did Ning Fan find a bit of affection towards this person upon experiencing Ancestor Leize’s outward coldness but inner warmth.
"The problem is at the entrance of the abyss in this direction!"
Without waiting for the Light Clan people’s response, Ning Fan had already answered first.
His Yunian perception was exceedingly strong, and upon his arrival, he immediately spread out the rain curtain.
Already having about a dozen breaths after arriving, this amount of time sufficed for Ning Fan to uncover many details.
"Kid! Stop spouting nonsense! The seal on the abyss entrance is extraordinarily powerful, from outside you can’t perceive what’s happening inside! Even someone as high as a Quasi-Saint like myself can’t perceive such matters, how could you!"
Ancestor Leize rebuked Ning Fan with a touch of annoyance.
But in the next moment, the Light Clan masters were proven wrong.
"Old Leize wrongly accused this Daoist friend, what he said was indeed correct, it really is this direction’s abyss that has the issue... Ah! This Daoist friend is summoning the Ancient Demon Cavity! Where has he gone! What is his identity indeed... What! The seal is reacting! Someone disregarded the seal and went directly into the abyss, could it be this Daoist friend..."
Ignoring these Light Clan masters!
Once identifying the faulty abyss, Ning Fan directly activated the Six Paths Portal, ignoring the abyss seal, transmitting straight into its depths.
He didn’t know that his action once again shocked Ancestor Leize!
"The seal on Light Ancestor Abyss! Even someone like me who’s taken half a step into the second rank of Quasi-Saint can’t ignore it, this kid actually could! What level is his invented teleportation technique! Terrifying!"
No further delay, Ancestor Leize promptly followed Ning Fan’s steps, with the assistance of Light Clan masters, navigating through layer upon layer of seals, entering the abyss...
When he successfully passed through hundreds of abyss seals, a whole half-hour had passed since Ning Fan’s entry into the abyss... Ning Fan was already well ahead somewhere deep within...
