Chapter 369.2 - Scared Witless
Ning Fan threw a cold glance at Revered Fla and saw through his sche.
What a hypocritical person. Revenge for his disciple? What a reasonable and righteous reason. Ultimately, he’s just eyeing my Earth Vein Demonic Flas, just like how he was covetously eyeing the Green Phoenix Fla of the Lost World Palace in the past.
As the saying goes, a crooked stick will have a crooked shadow. Since the disciple is already that kind of person, how could the master be any better?
Ya Lan was Ning Fan’s old friend while Ning Fan was the lord of three towers of the Lost World Palace. It was impossible for one to leave his subordinate in the lurch. Thus, there was no ground for bla on him in helping her.
Gu Zhen was the one who bullied Ya Lan first and Ning Fan only killed him after that. With Ning Fan’s personality, no matter who Gu Zhen was, if one deserved their death, Ning Fan would never hesitate to kill them.
Ning Fan had never been a big-hearted person who could tolerate bullies.
To him, killing Gu Zhen was nothing.
And it was no big deal to displease Revered Fla since he had already done so.
Moreover, Revered Fla already had so old grudges against him. These unsettled scores were already irreconcilable since the day Ning Fan killed the three tower lords of the Lost World Palace.
Furthermore, Ning Fan did not think that seeking revenge for his disciple was the main reason why Revered Fla wanted to kill him.
From the mont Revered Fla showed up, he had exuded his spirit sense seven tis to sense Ning Fan’s dantian within a few breaths.
After sensing the traces of auras of four Earth Vein Demonic Flas, a hint of joy could be seen at the corners of his eyes. Of course, these small details could never escape from Ning Fan’s eyes and ears.
Avenging his disciple is just a pretense. After his disciple died, his eyes glinted with a hint of delight. Thus, it’s really obvious.
From the very beginning, Revered Fla went at for my Earth Vein Demonic Flas!
Even if I didn’t kill Gu Zhen, once this person knows I’m on Penglai Immortal Island, he will still make up other reasons to sneak attack or hunt down.
Ning Fan glanced at a certain direction and the purple star in his left eye flickered faintly. At a corner, he saw two Void Refinent Realm experts who were hiding themselves from everyone’s view. They were probably the experts Revered Fla hired to protect himself.
It’s no wonder why Revered Fla is so arrogant that he even dares to humiliate Bei Xiaoman. It turns out that he ca with so backup.
Well, he might have two Void Refinent Realm experts but I possess three Void Refinent Realm spiritual puppets. They are nothing much to be worried about.
Ning Fan’s eyelids twitched and exposed a trace of aura of the Realm Beast puppets from his storage pouch, secretly sending it to the two hidden Void Refinent Realm experts.
All of a sudden, their expressions were filled with shock and they imdiately transmitted a ssage to Revered Fla through telepathy.
Revered Fla glanced sideways at Ning Fan repeatedly as murderous intent filled his eyes.
Suddenly, it seed that soone had secretly conveyed a ssage to Revered Fla. At the next mont, Revered Fla’s expression greatly changed. The killing intent that he originally had for Ning Fan significantly diminished.
That voice ca from the hidden Void Refinent Realm experts. They were trying to warn Revered Fla.
“This Zhou Ming isn’t easy. He noticed us! He even spread out a trace of Void Refinent Realm aura to us on purpose. He isn’t soone who can be trifled with…”
“What?! How co he possesses Void Refinent Realm aura?! Could it be that an elder of his is protecting him in secret?! Could it be that a Void Refinent Realm elder is hiding in his Treasure of Immortal’s Abode?!” Revered Fla was a little terrified.
Compared to Bei Xiaoman’s reputation, he was more afraid of a Void Refinent Realm expert…
Even though Revered Fla might be haughty and disdainful, that side of him only applied to Divine Transformation Realm experts. When facing a Void Refinent Realm expert, he would still feel afraid.
“Even if there’s a Void Refinent Realm expert protecting him, I don’t want to give up on the Earth Vein Demonic Flas…” Revered Fla clenched his teeth.
“Then… seize them with a gentler thod and don’t completely fall out with him… Why don’t you try gambling with him! This way, it won’t harm the harmony between the two of you. As long as you don’t go out of line, that hidden Void Refinent Realm expert won’t interfere with the fight between you two.” One of the two Void Refinent Realm experts suggested.
“Gamble? Alright…”
The group of cultivators surrounding the area only saw Revered Flas mumbling so words to himself and no one knew what he was talking about. However, a short mont later, Revered Fla’s killing intent gradually withered away like a frosted eggplant.
The most unimaginable thing was when Revered Fla who turned a deaf ear to others’ words and insisted on killing Ning Fan suddenly withdrew all his anger and let out a hearty laughter. He looked at Ning Fan with a look of admiration and complinted.
“The Venerated Eighth of the Internal Endless Sea – Venerated Ming, Zhou Ming. You indeed deserve this esteed reputation! I admire you! It was just a joke when I said I would seek revenge for my disciple’s death just now. I was just trying to test Venerated Ming’s courage. Don’t take it too seriously. That disciple of mine you killed was ignorant and incompetent. Today, he actually dared to lay a finger to a female cultivator of the Lost World Palace. He deserved more than death. In fact, I have to thank you, Fellow Daoist, for killing Gu Zhen. It’s an excellent punishnt!”
*Uhh*
The crowd was speechless. At first, both sides were about to fight. Now, however, Revered Fla suddenly turned nice for no reason and spoke in an extrely kind and friendly way?
On second thought, they suddenly ca to realize that Revered Fla was just joking around with Ning Fan previously.
Well, it sounded completely right and logical. Revered Fla was a famous senior while Ning Fan was just a young rising expert. How would Revered Fla bully the weak with his strength?
What a magnanimous man. His disciple has been killed by soone but he forgave and set aside that matter. Besides, he even thinks that his disciple deserved his death for committing all sorts of wicked cris.
Many cultivators who did not know the truth began to admire Revered Fla.
Ning Fan also put away his indifferent look and revealed a faint smile. His eyes shone with sarcasm.
This Revered Fla is indeed a shaless person. I purposely released a trace of aura from the Realm Beast puppets to ss with the morale of the two Void Refinent Realm experts. As expected, they wavered.
Gu Zhen, Dong Mu and the others were really nothing to him. This Revered Fla is the kind of person who will abandon everything for his own benefits.
“I see. Revered Fla was just joking with just now. But I don’t think the joke is funny at all.”
“Hehe…”
Revered Fla forced a hollow laugh. It seems that he failed to notice the sarcasm in Ning Fan’s words.
Looking at Ning Fan, he abruptly changed the topic of their conversation and spoke sincerely.
“It feels like I’m eting an old friend even though I only t Venerated Ming for the first ti. I wonder whether I can have the honor of asking Venerated Ming for advice for a technique or two? Don’t worry, Venerated Ming. It’s just a friendly match to learn from each other by exchanging fighting techniques. It surely won’t harm anyone’s life. Thus, there is certainly no need for the elder behind you to co forward.” Revered Fla made hints in his words.
“I always travel across heaven and earth by myself. I don’t have any elders with … As for the friendly fight you said, I don’t like a fight without a bet.” Ning Fan deliberately made a brief laughter but it made Revered Fla’s suspicion grow.
It can’t be wrong. A deliberate explanation is just a concealnt. This Zhou Ming probably has a Void Refinent Realm expert backing him up!
In that case, I really can’t afford to offend a Void Refinent Realm old monster just for fifth-grade Earth Flas…
Revered Fla felt fortunate inwardly. It was lucky that the two Void Refinent Realm experts he brought reminded him just now. Otherwise, he might have been fighting with Ning Fan at this mont.
“Oh? Fellow Daoist Zhou wants to set up a bet for the fight?! Great! I’m thinking of the sa thing too. Why don’t the both of us take out one type of our Earth Vein Demonic Flas as a bet?”
“Only one type is a bit too little. If you want to bet, let’s bet on all the Earth Vein Demonic Flas we have then. I have four types of the Earth Vein Demonic Flas while you have three of that. You won’t be at a disadvantage on this bet.”
*Hiss*
All the cultivators gasped in disbelief.
Except for both Revered Fla and Ning Fan who could tell how many types of Demonic Flas each other possessed, the others had no idea of how many Demonic Flas each of them had.
Earth Vein Demonic Flas were items that were highly sought after by Divine Transformation Realm experts and were difficult to get. However, as soon as Ning Fan spoke, all the cultivators clearly knew that Revered Fla owned three types of those flas while Ning Fan had four!
Rumor has it that if one manages to gather all twelve types of Earth Vein Demonic Flas, the power of his flas would be comparable to a Void Refinent Realm attack. Today, if both of them bet all their flas on this fight, whoever wins would then possess seven types of Earth Vein Demonic Flas!
“Don’t gamble! There’s the Green Phoenix Fla that I gave you! If you lose…” No one knew what Bei Xiaoman was disagreeing with and why Ning Fan could not lose what she had given to him.
“Don’t worry! I won’t lose.”
Ning Fan smiled confidently.
He was not afraid of Revered Fla or the two Void Refinent Realm experts. Besides, if he summons all three Void Refinent Realm spiritual puppets and sacrifices one or two of his other puppets, he might even be able to kill one of the Void Refinent Realm experts.
However, what benefit would Ning Fan get from killing an expert of the Rain Palace in front of countless cultivators? He was a person who maximized the benefits he would get and he certainly would not simply kill a Void Refinent Realm expert of the Rain Palace for fun.
A Divine Transformation Realm expert was a revered being in the Rain Palace while a Void Refinent Realm expert would be one of the top-level combat personnel of the Rain Palace.
Ning Fan could foresee innurable Void Fragntation Realm experts of the Rain Palace coming in the next day to hunt him down if he really kills the two Void Refinent Realm experts in front of others.
Being able to seize the flas from Revered Fla without offending him openly was the best outco.
Of course, there would be so accidents during the fight as fists and kicks had no eyes. Even if Ning Fan were to injure Revered Fla, it would only be considered as an accident, just like how he accidentally burnt Gu Zhen to ashes previously.
Ning Fan was determined to get the Earth Vein Demonic Flas and the sa goes for Revered Fla!
Revered Fla made a cold snort inwardly as he could not bear seeing Ning Fan’s confident expression. However, he still managed a half-hearted smile on his face. After pretending to refuse the offer with a few words, he eventually agreed to bet all of his Demonic Flas.
“Hehe. Fellow Daoist Zhou can be rest assured that I will surely pull my punches during the fight.” Revered Fla said with a friendly smile but he could not stop sneering within.
What he had in mind was exactly the sa thought as Ning Fan.
Revered Fla could not kill Ning Fan in front of his Void Refinent Realm elder, but fists and kicks had no eyes. Thus, it would be a different story even if he accidentally crippled Ning Fan…
“Young man! You don’t have enough qualifications yet to fight with , Yun Yan1! I will definitely cripple you and let you have a taste of my strength!”
Revered Fla sneered evilly, but the problem was that he still had no idea who was actually going to be crippled in the end.
Both Revered Fla and Ning Fan soared into the sky and turned a part of it into a battle ring.
“Be careful, Fellow Daoist Zhou. My flying sword is coming!”
Revered Fla wielded his flying sword. However, it disappeared completely after emitting a flash of fiery light.
Although it seed like he was warning Ning Fan, he was pretty confident that Ning Fan would definitely not be able to block that sword attack!
“Stinky Zhou Ming! Be careful! The sword is being reinforced by a Void Grade ability – Shadow Cut!”
Bei Xiaoman warned anxiously.
At the next mont, the fiery-red flying sword that had vanished did not plunge straight towards Ning Fan but flew towards his shadow.
The two of them stood in midair as clouds drifted past them. The shadows beneath their feet were longer as they basked in the sunlight…
In the blink of an eye, the sword light had already reached his shadow!
