Chapter 369.1 - Scared Witless
Scared Witless
“Who is this lunatic?! How dare you kill my disciple?! You are blatantly courting death!”
An angry bellow resounded throughout Xuan Wu City along with a jarring whistling sound given out by the teleportation light of a Peak Divine Transformation Realm expert flying across the sky.
“This is bad! It’s Revered Fla! This person had always covered up for his shortcomings. No matter what the cause of Gu Zhen’s death was, he will certainly put up a fight against Venerated Ming until one of them dies!”
“In any case, Venerated Ming is still one of the Venerated Eight of the Internal Endless Sea. Would he be afraid of Revered Fla?”
“It seems like you have no idea who Revered Fla is. From his cultivation of flas, he has managed to turn his Sea of Consciousness into a fire consciousness. Besides, he has devoured countless types of flas in his whole life. He not only excels in pill refinent techniques, but he also has impressive combat power. He had literally burnt a Half-Step Void Refinent expert to death in the past!”
“What?! Revered Fla can kill a Half-Step Void Refinent expert?! Does it an that his strength and power is considered superior even among the Venerated Seven?!”
“Not only that, I heard rumors saying that when Revered Fla entered the Endless Sea this ti, he had also brought along two Void Refinent Realm experts to protect him... Even though no one knows where the two experts have gone, it’s enough to show how extraordinary Revered Fla’s status is in the Rain Palace!”
After all the spirited discussion, even if the cultivators there knew Ning Fan’s identity, many of them still did not have any hope in him. They quickly dispersed in the commotion, afraid that they might get involved with him.
Soon after these cultivators left, a blazing fiery light descended outside the southern tower with a loud bang and materialized into a red-robed old man.
The aura of the old man was extrely strong. What’s especially powerful about him was his flas.
By just standing there, the air beca hot like steam for no reason and gave out crackling sounds of explosion. His aura force seethed from his body and glimred into the sky.
This man was Gu Zhen’s master – Revered Fla, a revered being of the Rain Palace!
“Who are you?!”
Revered Fla let out a nacing bellow and his sound wave turned into raging flas which rushed towards the southern tower, trying to burn Ning Fan and the southern tower to ashes.
This technique was called Fire-Sound Transformation. It was an extrely high-end technique of fire manipulation. As soon as this technique was used, it imdiately gained a lot of attention from the crowd.
Layers upon layers of fire waves blasted towards Ning Fan and invaded the palace. But at the next mont, the fire waves eerily disappeared from everyone’s sight.
Ning Fan walked out of the southern tower unaffected and stared at Revered Fla indifferently. He made a stomp on the ground which caused the whole ground to tremble. Revered Fla sensed a great force which ca out of nowhere rushing towards his direction and hurriedly dodged.
However, the movent he made caused the aura condensed with his wrath to vanish.
“I’m Zhou Ming, the tower lord of the three towers of the Lost World Palace!”
“Zhou Ming?! You said you’re Zhou Ming?!”
Revered Fla seed to have recalled sothing and one of the corners of his lips raised and ford into a cold smirk.
“Are you the one who took the Green Phoenix Fla? Are you the one who killed Dong Mu and the other two?”
“So what if I am?!” Ning Fan replied firmly.
“If you are, you can die then!”
Revered Fla sneered coldly. In the first place, He already had the intention to kill Ning Fan to vent his anger regarding the matter of the Green Phoenix Fla.
After all, were the people whom he placed in the Lost World Palace soone Ning Fan could kill?
Now, his disciple had died in Ning Fan’s hands. With all the grudges that he had yet to resolve with him, Revered Fla would, of course, not let him off.
Even if he set his personal enmity and grudges aside, Revered Fla coveted the several kinds of Earth Vein Demonic Flas that Ning Fan possessed!
Revered Fla patted his storage pouch and produced a fiery-red flying sword. Just as he was about to make a move against Ning Fan, he suddenly heard voices of two worried females.
“D-Don’t bla him. It’s who has offended Gu Zhen!”
“Impudent! A revered being of the Rain Palace is trying to cause trouble in my Lost World Palace?!”
The voice which was begging for rcy belonged to Ya Lan while the other one that sounded imposing belonged to Bei Xiaoman.
Ning Fan was inwardly astonished. It was still explainable for Ya Lan to plead for him, but it was sowhat strange to see Bei Xiaoman taking his side.
Wasn’t this unruly little girl planning to kill every day and night to vent her anger in the past...? I’ve heard that she has successfully attained the Divine Transformation Realm. Could it be that her disposition changed after achieving the breakthrough?
The group of cultivators who stayed to spectate the battle were all stunned. A showdown between two mighty beings which was originally going fine and smooth was abruptly stopped by two won with their words.
Revered Fla stood still with his hands clasping his sword. His eyes darkened and he stopped at once.
The reason why he did not attack Ning Fan was definitely not because of Ya Lan who pleaded with him for rcy but because of Bei Xiaoman’s arrival.
In terms of cultivation base, Bei Xiaoman was nothing in Revered Fla’s eyes but with regards to identity, Bei Xiaoman was the fourth young mistress of the Northern Heaven. She was not soone that Revered Fla could ss with.
However, what Revered Fla found difficult to understand was the rumors spreading in the outside world claiming that Bei Xiaoman had not been on friendly terms with Ning Fan. The reason why he dared to directly act against Ning Fan in Xuan Wu City was because of that information.
It seed that the information he got was false. This Bei Xiaoman clearly did not resent Ning Fan. Instead, she was behaving coquettishly to the marrow of her bones and had a crush on him.
Revered Fla made a contemptuous smirk and mocked inwardly.
The so-called fourth young mistress of the Northern Heaven is nothing more than a loose woman.
“Mistress Bei, this man has killed my disciple and everyone here witnessed it. Don’t tell that you and the Lost World Palace are trying to cover up for him?!”
“He killed your disciple?!”
Bei Xiaoman petulantly rolled her eyes at Ning Fan and muttered inwardly.
Why is this stinky Zhou Ming still acting without thinking properly first? Why is he so bold to kill anyone he likes?!
Bei Xiaoman was bossy and arrogant. However, she still knew how far to go and when to stop. She might dare to kill a Fourth Revolution Pill Master but she would be very polite to a Fifth Revolution Pill Master and would not purposely make things difficult for a Divine Transformation Realm expert.
Furthermore, Revered Fla was said to be quite popular in the Rain Palace and he was a good friend to many Void Refinent Realm experts of the Rain Palace. Bei Xiaoman was reluctant to displease a person like him.
Despite knowing full well that provoking Revered Fla was a foolish act, she just could not help but feel angry upon seeing Ning Fan who was still smiling leisurely in silence even though he was faced with imminent disaster.
“This stinky Zhou Ming is mine. You can’t kill him!”
*Hua*
What Bei Xiaoman said caused an uproar in the crowd.
According to rumors, Bei Xiaoman was arrogant and unruly and she never showed rcy in killing anyone. There was no way she would ever show consideration to her subordinates. Why did her temperant change today?
Why would she actually protect a devil lord at the risk of offending the Rain Palace?
The great Devil Lord Zhou Ming was truly powerful and he’s one of the Venerated Eight of the Internal Endless Sea. However, Revered Fla’s status is even higher than that of the eight venerated beings...
Even though Bei Xiaoman had a powerful background, she should know that it’s inappropriate to be on bad terms with the Rain Palace while being in the mortal world.
The guardian of the silver tower, Old Ancestor Lu Qing, was absolutely the most surprised person at this mont.
Although he heard that after Bei Xiaoman attained the Divine Transformation Realm and severed parts of her scarlet dragon which temporarily suppressed her nstruation and softened her temperant a lot, he had never expected that Bei Xiaoman would defend others.
Even Ning Fan looked at her with a puzzled look which made her blush with embarrassnt and anger.
He suddenly felt that this Bei Xiaoman seed to have so cuteness within her.
Revered Fla’s eyes flashed with a hint of hesitation. As a matter of fact, he absolutely did not expect that the Lost World Palace would be so protective towards Ning Fan.
Revered Fla had also heard of Ning Fan’s notoriety as the Venerated Eighth of the Internal Endless Sea. However, he did not believe most of them. Even if Ning Fan really had a Half-Step Void Refinent Realm combat power, Revered Fla would still not put him in his eyes.
The only person who could ever make him feel fearful in the entire Penglai Immortal Island was Bei Xiaoman because he did not want to offend the Lost Palace World either.
However, the longer Revered Fla studied Ning Fan’s dantian using his spirit sense, the more apparent the covetous look in his eyes.
He had wanted to kill Ning Fan a long ti ago!
Since the ti when Dong Mu was killed and the Green Phoenix Fla fell into Ning Fan’s hands!
This ti, many experts of the Rain Palace entered the Endless Sea to get the qualifications to enter the Thunder Emperor’s Tomb. However, Revered Fla had already obtained his qualification and he did not have to worry about it anymore.
Now, he ca here just for the Earth Vein Demonic Flas! Dong Mu’s death had allowed him to find out quite a lot of details about Ning Fan. The most important detail of all was him possessing several types of Earth Vein Demonic Flas!
Moreover, he had made certain of that fact himself as he sensed four types of Earth Vein Demonic Flas from Ning Fan’s body.
If he obtains these four types of Earth Vein Demonic Flas and devour them with his fla spell, his cultivation base would certainly experience a drastic boost and break through to the Half-Step Void Refinent Realm or even... to the Void Refinent Realm!
After having innurable thoughts in his mind, Revered Fla made a decision.
No matter what happens today, he was not going to let Ning Fan go!
“Mistress Bei, for the sake of the Lost World Palace, I showed you so respect but it doesn’t an that I have to give others respect too! This person has killed my disciple and I must kill him to avenge my disciple! If I have offended you, I hope the Lost World Palace can be magnanimous enough to forgive !”
“If you dare to, I will never forgive you!”
Bei Xiaoman’s eyes narrowed coldly. She rolled up her sleeves and knitted her pretty brows. Judging by her posture, it seed like she was going to charge towards Revered Fla and teach him a lesson in the next second.
However, just as she made a small step forward, Ning Fan gently grabbed her delicate wrist and pulled her backwards. Then, he gave her a casual smile.
“Mistress Bei, thank you for not forgetting our past relationship and defending . However, even though our relationship is deep, we have yet to take the final step and so, I am still not officially ‘yours’. You don’t have to be so protective of .”
*Hua*
The onlookers were overwheld with great shock once more.
Venerated Ming is making fun of Bei Xiaoman! Judging from Venerated Ming’s words, could it be that he has a very intimate relationship with Bei Xiaoman and they’ve done many things that they love to do but just haven’t proceeded to the last step of their relationship?
Flirting. He was absolutely flirting with her!
“Let go of ! Don’t touch ! You’re gross! Who has a deep relationship with you?!” Bei Xiaoman slapped away Ning Fan’s hand without realizing at all that she had been verbally assailed by Ning Fan with obscenities.
“Be quiet, you too...”
Ning Fan’s gaze swept across Bei Xiaoman and then Ya Lan. All of a sudden, his smile turned into his usual indifferent look.
He smiled because he was in a good mood seeing his two old friends, Ya Lan and Bei Xiaoman, who were nervous for him.
He turned cold because Revered Fla kept threatening to kill him with every word he said. Even a man made of mud would also be enraged after hearing such a threat.
Interesting.
After making the Endless Sea afraid of him with so effort, there was the Rain Palace trying to challenge him now.
