Grasping the Evil
Chapter 1089: The Battle Challenge!
Ning Fan, along with Ya Tiangou, rode on the Wuxian Cloud, once again returning to the Dragon Nest on Stone Flame Continent.
Due to the Emperor Butcher’s incident, in the days to come, Duolan would have to stay in this Dragon Nest to cultivate diligently alone. Thinking of this, Ning Fan provided Duolan with numerous items for diligent cultivation and self-preservation. The protection was not against someone attacking, but for fear that if Duolan made a mistake in her solitary cultivation, no one would be there to help her, hence the arrangements...
Duolan repeatedly asked where the Emperor Butcher had gone, extremely worried. To this, Ning Fan could only respond with silence.
Thus, Duolan, who vaguely guessed that the Emperor Butcher might have encountered misfortune, also fell silent.
She did not want to believe that the empress who was so carefree and made her feel deeply inferior had perished just like that.
"Do not let your imagination run wild, that woman has not truly died. One day, I will find a way to bring her back... As for you, it seems you have to cultivate diligently here alone in the days to come. When I have enough cultivation to erase the saint’s curse of this realm, I will come back and take you away. I am not worried about your safety, I only worry that without company, you will feel lonely in the years to come."
"Senior need not worry about Duolan, ever since Father’s death, Duolan has long been accustomed to living alone. Although Duolan is the only one here, there are not so many schemes and harms as outside, it is countless times better..."
"In that case, I am truly leaving this time... Take care."
"Senior should be the one to take care, Duolan... will wait here for Senior, always waiting."
Ning Fan patted Duolan’s head and left in silence.
It was also a farewell before, but at that time, he did not feel as heavy-hearted as he did now.
As he walked out of the Dragon Nest again, only Duolan was behind him seeing him off, and there was no indifferent gaze from the Emperor Butcher...
As he walked out again, his heart was no longer as calm as before, and uncontrolled images of his interactions with the Emperor Butcher surfaced in his mind.
The Nightmare Dragon Claw was forced out of Ning Fan’s body because it was already damaged. The damage was caused during the Netherworld War and could not be repaired. In the past, if Ning Fan’s spirit equipment was damaged, he would force it out of his body and discard it. But this time, he did not discard the remnants of the Nightmare Dragon Claw. Seeing this spirit equipment, he would recall scenes from the Blood Martial Arena, and think of the Emperor Butcher...
Countless thoughts eventually turned into a silent sigh. With the sigh, Ning Fan rode the Wuxian Cloud, took Ya Tiangou, and flew away from the Supreme Pill Sacred Domain...
He no longer wished to concern himself with the transactions and schemes of the Supreme Ox Demon; the treasures filled with schemes in the Holy Mountain Mausoleum no longer interested him; the Eastern Celestial and Dark Clan cultivators hidden in the Holy Mountain, Ning Fan did not care about them.
He had more important things to urgently go back and do.
The torment of owing someone and being unable to repay the karmic debts, Ning Fan felt it deeply. At this moment he had only one wish, which was to return quickly to Eastern Heaven, to quickly save the Ancient Chaos Grand Emperor.
He owed the Ancient Chaos Grand Emperor many karmic debts, and if he could extend the Grand Emperor’s life, he could repay some of them...
The only trouble was, since the realm beast passage of the Supreme Pill Sacred Domain had been destroyed, Ning Fan had to choose a different path of the realms to return to Eastern Heaven. This meant that the landing point when he returned to Eastern Heaven would not be the Supreme Pill Divine City where he entered, but somewhere else.
...
Planets would not stop spinning for anyone, nor would the world pause for any one event to happen.
The opening of the Supreme Pill Sacred Domain was indeed a grand event for Eastern Heaven, but no matter how grand the event, there would be a day when it would be forgotten. Eastern Heaven was a place of many wars, cultivators here might take interest in some grand events, but they loved battles, fighting, and seizing tangible benefits for themselves even more.
Only a year after the opening of the Supreme Pill Sacred Domain, many Eastern Heaven cultivators had already cast this matter aside, and the Supreme Pill Divine City returned to its former cold quietness. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
In the third month after the opening of the Supreme Pill Sacred Domain, a damaged innate treasure was unearthed on the Eastern Heaven Ancient Music Planet, causing a frenzy among countless Eastern Heaven forces to snatch it, and nearly a hundred True Immortal elders perished in the scramble, even leading to all-out fighting by the Eastern Heaven Immortal Emperor...
In the seventh month after the opening of the Supreme Pill Sacred Domain, the Eastern Heaven Qiuxian Sect and Manghai Gate engaged in a war, a clash of two Immortal Venerable powers, with the war rooted in a struggle for an Ancient Immortal King’s cave dwelling relic...
In the tenth month since the opening of the Supreme Pill Sacred Domain, an Eternal Calamity Celestial Venerate died a mysterious death. After his death, his territory was divided among several Immortal Venerable forces, leading to another round of bloody carnage...
In the thirteenth month after the opening of the Supreme Pill Sacred Domain, war broke out in the White Bird Starfield, involving more than ten True Immortal sects.
The Cultivation Stars in the White Bird Starfield are perpetually snowy, the climate harsh and unsuitable for most cultivators to live, yet it was exceedingly suitable for cultivators of ice property techniques to reside.
It was a paradise for ice cultivators, with hundreds to thousands of Cultivation Stars under occupation, numbers never below a million. Within them were sixteen True Immortal sects that, together, established a White Bird Alliance, governing all ice cultivators coming to practice here.
Every ice cultivator coming here had to pay a protection fee to practice in this expanse, and they must follow the ironclad rules set by the White Bird Alliance, maintaining decorum, avoiding random fights.
Because of the White Bird Alliance’s presence, this part of space was relatively peaceful in the past, an anomaly in the war-torn Eastern Heaven, but now, such a peaceful starfield had also become embroiled in war.
Recently, a Demon appeared out of nowhere, waging war against the entire White Bird Alliance single-handedly, an event that shocked the True Immortal circles of Eastern Heaven.
The Demon who declared war on the White Bird Alliance was known as the Three-Fingers Old Demon, named so because among cultivators of the same level, none could withstand his three fingers, with the second finger, he could often kill all same-level cultivators, and if the third finger was used, he could kill beyond his level!
This was a fearsome Demon undefeated among his level!
At this moment, in the cold space of the White Bird Starfield, the Three-Fingers Old Demon stood with hands behind his back, the menacing aura of the newly ascended Immortal Venerable swept fear over the thousands of alliance cultivators surrounding him.
Among the thousands of cultivators surrounding him, nearly all the elite of the sixteen sects of White Bird were assembled, gathered here for the sole purpose of killing the Three-Fingers Old Demon!
"Trash! A bunch of trash! What kind of absurd White Bird Alliance is this, just children’s play! I alone can kill all of you! It seems the sixteen sects of the alliance have all gathered, great, excellent! Saves me the trouble of going door to door! Men, kill them all! Women... hehehe..."
The Three-Fingers Old Demon, with a face full of lewdness, glanced over the female cultivators among the surrounding thousands, instantly angering countless female cultivators.
This demeanor further enraged one of the Fragmented Thought Elders among the attacking cultivators, letting out a furious roar, charging towards the Three-Fingers Old Demon.
It was an elder riding a wine gourd, slightly weaker than the Three-Fingers Old Demon, a half-step Immortal Venerable elder with boundless aura. He was the highest-ranked elder among the sixteen sects of White Bird in terms of cultivation, known as the Lord of Wine, usually acting erratically and playfully in the mortal world. But today, the Lord of Wine was frighteningly lucid and cold, with no sign of intoxication, only blood-red eyes filled with hatred!
The Lord of Wine charged towards the Three-Fingers Old Demon, unable to conceal his fury, his eyes almost tearing apart! Just a few days ago, several of his female disciples, whom he regarded as his own, were harvested and dismembered by the Three-Fingers Old Demon during their outing, in front of countless passing men. He even cut off certain parts of the female disciples for his collection, an atrocity beyond comprehension! This hatred could not coexist under one sky, and today he must kill this demon!
"So, you’re the Lord of Wine... I’ve heard of your Drunken Sword Style being immensely powerful, but let’s see if you can force me to use the third finger..."
The Three-Fingers Old Demon sneered disdainfully.
Amid the disdainful sneer, the Lord of Wine had already closed in within a thousand-zhang radius, lifted his foot to stamp the wine gourd, from which a mist of wine flew towards the Three-Fingers Old Demon.
Initially, the wine mist was just an indistinct haze, but as it approached within a hundred zhang, it suddenly solidified, transforming into a seven-zhang and seven-foot long chilling sword light, slashing towards the Three-Fingers Old Demon from above.
The Three-Fingers Old Demon dodged sideways, and not far behind him, an abandoned star covered in snow was directly sliced open by the sword light, the planet shattered!
The Lord of Wine changed his spirit sense, and the chilling sword light split into ten, then into a hundred, instantly creating a hundred strands of sword light capable of splitting stars, densely slashing at the Three-Fingers Old Demon.
The Three-Fingers Old Demon laughed heartily, not paying any heed to these sword lights, and with a raised finger, the chill of the entire starry sky gathered at his fingertip. With a single gesture, over a hundred attacking sword lights were instantly frozen!
Another gesture, pointing in the direction of the Lord of Wine, the surrounding starry sky began to freeze madly, and even the Lord of Wine was no exception, with a horrified expression, instantly turned into an ice sculpture!
Hiss!
Countless alliance cultivators were scared to death, none expected that, as the alliance’s top expert, the Lord of Wine could not even withstand the Three-Fingers Old Demon’s second finger!
Half-step Immortal Venerable, two-finger kill!
The terrifying reputation of the Three-Fingers Old Demon indeed was not false; truly invincible at the same level!
"Hahaha! You all should come at me, don’t waste my time!" The Three-Fingers Old Demon arrogantly flared, his nostrils towards the heaven, treating the surrounding alliance cultivators as nothing.
This action instantly enraged all the alliance cultivators, and immediately ten plus Fragmented Thought Late Stage and Peak Masters joined forces to attack the Three-Fingers Old Demon. The remaining alliance cultivators occupied the starry sky, setting up an absolute killing formation array, intending to cooperate with the Fragmented Thought Elders to kill the Three-Fingers Old Demon!
The Three-Fingers Old Demon’s eyes flashed with ferocity as he shouted, "One Finger Freezes Rivers and Mountains!"
With a raise of his finger, the chill instantly covered the entire starry sky, and the three fastest charging fragmented thoughts were directly frozen and killed, while the slightly slower ones were all blown away by the power of his finger, one by one spewing blood and retreating, the blood they coughed having ice shards.
The absolute killing formation set up by several thousand people was frozen, then shattered!
Among the several thousand people, nearly half of the cultivators turned into ice sculptures, swept by the cold power, dying untimely!
"How can this demon be so strong! Even the Eternal Calamity Celestial Venerate might not be better than him!" Countless people felt terrified, already feeling cowardly.
"Haha! What is Eternity’s First Tribulation! Since fully mastering the Freezing Heaven Finger a few months ago, even a First Calamity Immortal Sovereign, I’ve killed, but unfortunately, the entire Eastern Heaven doesn’t know who the perpetrator is—it’s me! This title of the First Demon of Eastern Heaven, from today onwards, is no longer that outdated Senluo, but me!"
The Three-Fingers Old Demon laughed loudly, while laughing, he raised his finger consecutively, slaughtering one alliance cultivator after another.
Some tried to escape, only to find that even the starry sky here was frozen, and it’s impossible to escape using escape techniques!
When the last Fragmented Thought Peak Master of the alliance was killed by the Three-Fingers Old Demon, all the alliance cultivators lost the courage to continue resisting...
The Three-Fingers Old Demon looked down at the remaining alliance cultivators, with unparalleled arrogance, as if he could truly become the Eastern Heaven’s First Demon, proud amongst the heroes!
He further fantasized about killing all the men here, then playing with all the female cultivators, and then going to the next starfield, bullying the weak for fun!
This is cultivation, this is truly cultivating the Yin Yang Transformation!
"Don’t feel resentful, dying at the hands of the Eastern Heaven’s First Demon is your honor! Haha, now I’ll press the last finger to send you to..."
Before he could say the words ’the other side’, the Three-Fingers Old Demon suddenly groaned, flying forward unexpectedly. Behind him, suddenly, a rift in space tore open.
Because this spatial rift tore open too suddenly, too violently, making the Three-Fingers Old Demon unable to defend in time, injured by the power of spatial tearing, he fell forward to the void in an unseemly manner, resembling a dog eating dirt, losing all semblance of the high and mighty Demon Lord image.
A second ago, he was still boasting as the First Demon of Eastern Heaven.
A second later he was humbly crawling atop the starry sky, struggling to stand, his expression cold and terrifying, as though he suffered extreme humiliation.
"Who is it! Who is plotting against this old man! Dare to cause disgrace to me, I’ll tear you to pieces, and with your life, enhance my reputation as the Eastern Heaven’s First Demon!"
The Three-Fingers Old Demon roared, raising his finger towards the spatial rift, wanting to kill whoever entered the rift before the person emerged, frozen to death within the rift.
The chill carrying a trace of power of Dao Laws snaked across the starry sky swiftly, surprising him as the chill hadn’t even approached the spatial rift before it inconceivably melted and evaporated on its own.
The Three-Fingers Old Demon was inwardly shocked. Since mastering the Freezing Heaven Finger, there have been those who could withstand his first finger, but someone like the one before him, capable of directly evaporating his finger glow’s chill, he had never encountered before!
This newcomer couldn’t be just any Fragmented Thought; likely is an Eternal Immortal Venerable, and definitely not a weak one among immortal venerables!
Humph! What if they’re an Eternal Immortal Venerable, this old man has even killed higher-level First Calamity Immortal Sovereigns, no fear!
"Two Fingers Freeze the Stars!"
"Three Fingers Freeze the Sun and Moon!"
"Four Fingers Freeze the World!"
He actually unleashed all four styles of the Freezing Heaven Finger consecutively!
The Freezing Heaven Finger is an extremely powerful divine skill, even among a Second Calamity Immortal’s level, it could serve as a trump card. At this moment, the Three-Fingers Old Demon unleashed up to the fourth finger, the cold sense transforming into hundreds and thousands of ice dragons, crashing towards the spatial rift.
Three-Fingers Old Demon had great confidence, firmly believing that even an Eternal Calamity Celestial Venerate would be heavily injured under such a chill.
However, a bizarre scene occurred again!
Hundreds and thousands of ice dragons melted before they reached the space rift, dissolved by the immense mana coming from within the rift.
Then, Ning Fan, with a cold expression, stepped on the black clouds, carrying Ya Tiangou, flying out from the space rift.
Those who had seen portraits of the Rain Monarch were shocked upon recognizing Ning Fan’s appearance.
"Rain Immortal Monarch! It’s him!"
"Didn’t he enter the Supreme Pill Sacred Domain? Could he have already returned?!"
"Why is he here? Could it be that he’s acting as an accomplice to Three-Fingers Old Demon, intending to wipe out us White Bird Cultivators?!"
"Yes! It must be so! There’s no doubt! That Rain Immortal Monarch is notorious; he once annihilated the Anti-Ning Alliance, so it’s not surprising if he comes to destroy us White Bird Alliance!"
"It’s over! All done for! We couldn’t even defeat one Three-Fingers Old Demon, and now with the Rain Immortal Monarch... we’re bound to die!"
"What is there to fear about death! Even if I die, I’d rather fall charging in battle than await my doom without resistance!"
Ning Fan’s forehead faintly showed black lines.
He hadn’t expected that right after stepping out from the Land of the Supreme Pill Sacred Domain, he would be caught up in such a turmoil, and be directly presumed an accomplice in a sect’s massacre...
Three-Fingers Old Demon? What a thing? Never heard of, is it an old demon that never shows himself in Eastern Heaven, practicing demonic skills and wreaking havoc?
This person seems to claim to be the First Demon of Eastern Heaven? Uh, with just this level of cultivation, how dare he aspire to such a title? Is it arrogance or ignorance?
"Oh? So you’re the legendary Rain Immortal Monarch? Indeed a bit skilled, to withstand seventy percent of my mana in the Freezing Heaven Fourth Finger; earlier I was careless, not using my full strength, but this time, I will not hold..."
Sneer!
Ning Fan had no interest in listening to Three-Fingers Old Demon’s nonsense, his figure slightly flickered, a red glow flashing, as if he had moved away from the Wuxian Cloud, yet as if he hadn’t moved at all.
In that split second, the spirit of Three-Fingers Old Demon was already in Ning Fan’s grasp.
Stripped of his spirit, Three-Fingers Old Demon’s Dantian bore a gruesome blood hole, blood gushing out, his corpse wore an expression of disbelief, devoid of any vitality, and then was taken away by Ning Fan...
After all, it’s the corpse of a Celestial Venerate, suitable for making Blood of Ten Thousand Spirits material, albeit this Celestial Venerate’s level is a bit lower, merely a newly ascended one...
Hiss!
All the cultivators of the White Bird Alliance were terrified by this horrifying scene before them.
The Rain Immortal Monarch, with just one encounter, killed the almighty Three-Fingers Old Demon!
These two aren’t in league!
The dignified Three-Fingers Old Demon, a dignified Eternal Celestial Venerate, couldn’t survive even half a breath under the Rain Monarch’s hand...
"How, how is this possible! I, as the proud First Demon of Eastern Heaven, how could I be captured and killed by you in one encounter!" Held by Ning Fan, Three-Fingers Old Demon’s spirit was terrified, near Ning Fan, he could feel the enormous killing intent that Ning Fan deliberately suppressed!
What a terrifying killing aura!
Could it be that this Rain Bandit has even killed Immortal Emperors before, and not just one? What a joke!
"First Demon of Eastern Heaven? If the First Demon of Eastern Heaven were only at your level, Eastern Heaven wouldn’t have so much chaos that no one could suppress..."
Ning Fan always showed his enemies no mercy, instantly devouring Three-Fingers’ spirit, refining it alive, a horrifying scene that again made the White Bird Alliance cultivators shudder.
What is called ’hearing a hundred times is not as good as seeing once’? This is it.
Rumors said how terrifying the Rain Monarch was, but however terrifying, it was still hearsay, lacking reality. Witnessing Ning Fan’s action in front of them, they understood what was called invincible, what was terrifying, what was a world of humans devouring humans!
"Reverse Spirit..."
Ning Fan wasn’t concerned about the wars in the White Bird Starfield here, with Reverse Spirit Technique, he scanned, ignoring the wishes of the cultivators here, directly reading their memories.
The difference in cultivation was too vast, even if these individuals wanted to resist, they couldn’t, otherwise, none dared to resist Ning Fan’s divine skills, each silent and trembling, not daring to exhale, letting Ning Fan search their memories, afraid of provoking Ning Fan, annihilating everyone in anger.
Nowadays, as Ning Fan’s divine sense grew stronger, the damage caused to the sea of divine sense by Reverse Spirit Technique in searching memories was nearly nonexistent, only causing these individuals slight dizziness, nothing more.
After a long while, Ning Fan finished gathering their memories, patted his storage pouch, took out some unused expensive pills, casually giving them to the highest cultivation individual here, in the Mid-Phase Shattered Thought Stage.
"These pills are compensation for the information provided by you all, farewell."
Having said that, Ning Fan didn’t bother to see their reactions, stepping onto Wuxian Cloud, instantly flying out of their sight, whereabouts unknown.
"Hiss! Such fast escape speed! Even Immortal Kings don’t possess such speed!" Some survivors were profoundly shocked.
"This, this is... Mind Opening Pill! Such precious pills and the Rain Monarch said to give them just like that! He wasn’t here to kill us, he was just passing by!" The Fragmented Thought Elder who received the pill compensation, overwhelmed with joy, cupping his hands in gratitude towards Ning Fan’s departure direction.
Thanks not only for the gift of the pills by Ning Fan but also thanks for Ning Fan’s action in killing Three-Fingers Old Demon, saving countless loose cultivators in the White Bird Starfield.
```
There were even some female cultivators whose eyes shone brightly, gazing at the direction Ning Fan departed, lost in thought for a long time, as if admiring a hero. Ning Fan’s killing intent was terrifying, but in the eyes of some women, this intimidation was instead a form of cold allure, a kind of charisma...
Ning Fan’s reputation was quite notorious, compounded with the deliberate defamation by the Dark Clan, in the eyes of the world, Ning Fan was seen as someone who committed all sorts of evil deeds, bullying men and women alike. But to these White Bird Cultivators, while Ning Fan’s killing intent was indeed strong, it didn’t necessarily make him an unreasonable villain.
At worst, he was still much better than the likes of Three-Fingers Old Demon by a thousand times over. It’s worth knowing that individuals of such character as Three-Fingers Old Demon were as numerous as stars in the Eastern Heaven Immortal World; they merely varied in cultivation strength. Even if Ning Fan’s character wasn’t great, he wasn’t at the bottom...
"I have an idea: what if our White Bird Starfield seeks allegiance under the Rain Monarch’s Qianqiu Sect..."
"But that Rain Monarch has big troubles, he’s been targeted by the legendary secret clan..."
"Hmph! Without the Rain Monarch, we would have already been slaughtered by Three-Fingers Old Demon just now! We may not be good people, but to repay kindness is still an unchangeable principle of our White Bird Alliance! Precisely because the Rain Monarch is in trouble, we should support him with all our strength! It’s merely a matter of death, what’s there to fear about the secret clan! Plus, the only half-step Immortal Lord of our White Bird Alliance is already dead, and if we don’t attach ourselves to some major power, it would be hard to survive... Of course, repaying kindness is the key here. A few months ago, that secret clan’s [Challenge Letter] was delivered to Qianqiu Sect! This matter has already spread across Eastern Heaven. With the Rain Monarch’s personality, he is likely to accept the battle boldly. This battle doesn’t limit the number of helpers; although we are not top combat power, standing behind the Rain Monarch, waving the flag for him, is still something we can do."
"Hmm... alright! I shall take people to Qianqiu Sect, present gifts, and seek to become a subordinate of Qianqiu Sect..."
...
Ning Fan did not know that his casual intervention had brought a subordinate power to Qianqiu Sect.
The matters of the White Bird Starfield were not at all in his mind, and he did not kill Three-Fingers Old Demon for the sake of good, but simply because it was convenient.
At this moment, upon returning to Eastern Heaven, the sorrow brought by the Emperor Butcher was suppressed, replaced by worry.
Firstly, he was worried about the First Order Quasi-Saint cultivation of the Baizu Daoist in the Supreme Pill Sacred Domain.
Secondly, he was worried about the matter of the [Challenge Letter]...
When he left the Supreme Pill Sacred Domain, several Quasi-Saints had not returned from the spatial turbulence, but if they were to return, they would definitely hunt him down.
Fortunately, he had already left the Sacred Domain, and due to the presence of the Saint’s curse, the local Quasi-Saints of the Supreme Pill Sacred Domain were unlikely to chase him into Eastern Heaven to kill him.
But... that Baizu Daoist associated with the Dark Clan would eventually return to Eastern Heaven. Once this person returned, he would most likely target Ning Fan due to the matters in the Supreme Pill Sacred Domain. This person was a Quasi-Saint, and definitely a problem for Ning Fan...
This is the first worry.
The worry was not only about the strength of Baizu Daoist but also about the special identity of Baizu Daoist! This person seemed to have been an ancient person on the Demon-Sealing Peak, even the Bright Buddha had heard of his name...
When did the Demon-Sealing Peak and the Dark Clan come together!
Wasn’t the Demon-Sealing Peak destroyed in ancient times? Why were there surviving Ancient Chaos constantly appearing?
First, the Black Wing Great Demon descended upon the Divine Tomb, and his roaring power lingered for ten years; then, this Baizu Daoist, an Ancient Chaos of the Demon-Sealing Peak, suddenly emerged from the long river of obliterated history, sneaking into the Supreme Pill Sacred Domain, seemingly with a plot in mind...
This matter gave Ning Fan a sense of unease, as if something major was brewing between heaven and earth.
The more it was this kind of time, the more Ning Fan thought of Nalan Zi’s prophecy of three lives, fearing that this world would not be peaceful...
As for the matter of the challenge letter...
From the memory of the White Bird cultivators, Ning Fan had gathered a lot of intelligence.
The time he spent in the Supreme Pill Sacred Domain was not long, though the process was quite complex; it was essentially a little over a year’s journey.
Of course, to Ning Fan, who had practiced bitterly in the Tower of Years for countless years, the perception of external time was not just over a year, but rather felt incredibly aged... this was simply an exception.
It’s been barely a year since the opening of the Supreme Pill Sacred Domain, but now, the major event attracting the entire Eastern Heaven’s attention is no longer the opening of the Sacred Domain, but the Dark Clan’s challenge to Qianqiu Sect!
Several months ago, the Dark Clan sent someone to Qianqiu Sect, delivering a challenge letter to the hands of Qianqiu Sect!
Before the Ancient Chaos Grand Emperor perished, the Dark Clan dared not act against Ning Fan first, always scheming in secret. But for some reason, this time, the Dark Clan unexpectedly stepped into the open, sending a challenge letter, and announcing the matter to the world, wanting to fight Ning Fan head-on.
[Dark Continent, the Hundred Young Ones of the Dark Clan, respectfully await Rain Immortal Monarch, to a battle of life and death!]
[If you win, the enmity between our clan and the lineage of Ancient Chaos will be settled; if you lose, the inheritor of Ancient Chaos must take his own life before the world, and the cause and effect will not be pursued with our clan!]
[In this battle, both sides can invite helpers, no limit in number, but no Immortal Emperors are allowed to join, for fairness!]
[The great Rain Monarch, disciple of Ancient Chaos, if you do not dare to fight, then you are of weak character, ridiculed by the world, forever a disgrace to Eastern Heaven!]
Ning Fan furrowed his brow.
He couldn’t understand why the Dark Clan suddenly issued a challenge letter, choosing the timing after he entered the Supreme Pill Sacred Domain, before he had returned, such a strange time.
The timing seemed a bit rushed; if they truly wanted to fight, why not issue a challenge letter before he entered the Supreme Pill Sacred Domain? It feels as if after he entered the Supreme Pill Sacred Domain, the Dark Clan suddenly had an agenda, hurriedly issuing a challenge letter in haste.
Moreover, is it necessary for the Dark Clan to go to such lengths, sending clansmen below the Immortal Emperor to a death battle with him? With the Ancient Chaos Grand Emperor on the brink of fading, once he does, the Dark Clan could easily bring an army, crushing him... instead of arranging this, it would be more pertinent to prevent Ancient Chaos from extending its life, which is the right course of action...
The challenge letter matter seems redundant, yet it also seems to have another plot...
"The challenge letter matter has many suspicions. But even if the Dark Clan has a plot regarding this, I will not avoid this battle. Some things, just hiding will never be avoided! Might as well... strike back forcefully!"
"Of course, before dealing with this, I still have more important things to do. First returning to the Divine Tomb to extend the life of the Ancient Chaos Master is the main task! Moreover... I need to quickly obtain high-quality Dao Soil to plant Qingling’s soul seed... perhaps Godly Void Pavilion would have excellent Dao Soil... if not, then buy directly from the Tongtian Sect!"
Ning Fan’s eyes dimmed, he pushed the Wuxian Cloud to fly faster, his heart set on returning as quickly as possible...
