Grasping Evil - Chapter 248

Chapter 248: Chapter 248 Lu Zongyun’s Indignation

A hundred zhang* tall golden statue stood in the middle of the second palace. It was a statue of a six-legged silver beast!

Ning Fan glanced at the demon statue and felt a bit surprised. This statue of a six-legged silver beast was made with its wings spread while its head looked down from high above as if looking down upon everything. That look was very much alike to the image of the Demon Ancestor from the Eastern Ocean Bell.

From all the readings he did in the Scripture Tower, he recognized that this six-legged silver beast was the manifestation of the Immemorial Golden Crow!

Ordinary golden crow demons only had three legs. Those which were more heaven-defying could grow a fourth leg, making them into golden crow demons of the royal clan. However, ever since the ancient times and up until now, there was only one golden crow demon with six legs in the world!

When Ning Fan faced that demon statue, he felt his demon blood trembling.

After he had learnt the mental spell and engulfed the golden light back in the Ming Yu Building, he faintly felt an extra trace of golden blood within his demon blood.

That golden trace should be the golden sense of the Demon Ancestor! It was why it resonated with the demon statue at the moment!

“So this is an Immemorial Golden Crow…”

Hundreds of thoughts ran through Ning Fan’s mind.

Relying on the golden sense of the Demon Ancestor, I might be able to get rid of the body of a winged demon and evolve into the body of a golden crow. With the knowledge I’ve gathered, I will certainly succeed. However, with just the incomplete golden sense, the most I will be able to achieve in the Second Bloodline Awakening is to awaken the Incomplete Immemorial Demon Bloodline. Even so, after the Third Bloodline Awakening, the incomplete bloodline will at most attain the level of the common golden crow bloodline. If that’s the case, the potential of my demon bloodline might sound great outside in the Nine Worlds just like Li Ban’s as we possess the bloodlines of the True Spirits, but in the Land of Demons, having thin True Spirit bloodlines would only be considered mediocre…

Ning Fan frowned. The outcome of the Bloodline Awakening was unpredictable, but it might also be affected by a person’s will.

Should I take a leap of faith or should I play safe by awakening the Incomplete Immemorial Demon Bloodline ?

As the flamen of the Bloodline Pool, Lu Zongyun stood before the demon statue and began to apply demon blood on its face. After that, he burnt some incense and prayed. However, he shot Ning Fan a worried look and said, “Commanding Officer Lu, please don’t take this as a joke…If worse comes to worst, please attest that this humble servant did not try to harm you…”

“Don’t worry. Regardless of the outcome, I will never drag you through the mud!”

Ning Fan nodded. Without continuing the conversation, he walked into the third palace alone.

This palace was one thousand zhang* large. Its floor was built with black golden metals and it was designed with complicated flutings which were as peculiar as the marks on a demon formation. They were all primed with the blood of Gold Core Realm demon beasts.

In the centre of the palace, there was a one hundred zhang* deep pool of blood. It was concentrated with the power of green demon blood.

“So I’m going to be awakening my demon bloodline in this pool. I think I can still contemplate whether or not awaken the bloodline of the golden crow. After all, I have two hundred thousand battle points which will give me two chances of Bloodline Awakening. If I fail during the first time, it doesn’t really matter. What Lu Zongyun said was right. Bloodline Awakening is not a joke. One has to be extra cautious in the process. To me, however, I have to be cautious, not because I want to succeed in the first attempt, but because I need to think over how to awaken the best potential from my thin winged demon bloodline!”

Ning Fan took out his battle points plate and swiped on its surface with his fingertips.

Two hundred thousand battle points was immediately reduced to one hundred thousand.

In the meantime, the green blood pool began to roil and bubble as if it was boiling from below. Hot steam and a bloody stench filled the air.

It was time for Ning Fan to enter the pool!

“Wait!”

Before Ning Fan set his foot into the pool, a soft female voice echoed in his ears.

A woman clad in purple robes walked into the third palace while bashfully smiling towards Ning Fan.

“My brother asked Wan’er to serve Commanding Officer Lu in changing clothes and to watch over you to prevent Lu Zongyun from playing tricks in secret… As for this Fifth Revolution Pill, it’s called the Blood Awakening Pill. It was given by the Honorable Demon General. Originally, there are two of them. However, the first pill was consumed by my brother for his Third Bloodline Awakening. This pill was meant for Wan’er to use when it’s my turn for the Third Bloodline Awakening. But I think it is more useful to you now…”

Ning Fan was slightly stunned and his gaze deeply affixed to Lu Wan’er’s eyes for a while.

This woman is going to serve me in changing my clothes? In that manner, isn’t her purity going to be destroyed in my hands?

Is this truly Lu Sheng’s intention or did this woman decide this on her own?

Staring at the golden pill which was packed with massive amounts of energy, Ning Fan asked, “Is this the Demon General’s intention or yours?”

“Er…Of course… it’s Brother’s intention… You don’t have to worry about it…” Her expression reddened, behaving rather unnaturally.

Ning Fan sighed.

A Fifth Revolution Pill that is helpful to Divine Transformation Realm Demon Generals in their Third Bloodline Awakening… According to Lu Sheng’s attitude, it is impossible that he would neglect his own sister and use her sister’s pill to please me.

Up until now, Lu Sheng has certainly showed his sincerity to befriend me. However, I am only viewed as a person who has an equal status as him.

Such action that causes damage to one’s relatives for the benefit of others does not fit Lu Sheng’s style!

With Ning Fan’s observation, he clearly knew that Lu Wan’er was lying.

It must be her own decision to personally come here to watch over me and give me this pill…The reason, I suppose, is probably because she is in love with me.

But perhaps because she knew that my ambition is not limited to within the boundaries of the Northern Desert City and it will be impossible for me to stay here for her, so that’s why she does not want to express her feelings for me.

“Debt of love is hard to repay…”

Ning Fan’s muttered quietly to himself and looked squarely in her eyes with a smile.

“I once heard that the women of the demon race are frank and bold. They dare to love and never fear to hate, just like the love story between the white fox and the human scholar. Famous stories like that were too many to recount… Today, Mistress Wan’er gives me such a precious pill as a present without letting your brother know. Is it possible that Mistress Wan’er wants me to be the human scholar of the story while Mistress Wan’er wants to be the white fox?”

As a matter of fact, Lu Wan’er indeed possessed the demon bloodline of the white fox!

After hearing his teasing, the underlying meanings within his words made Lu Wan’er’s face go red like a tomato. Discontentedly, she rolled her eyes at him.

“Since you knew, then why did you have to make it so obvious?! Besides, who else wants to secretly fall in love with a ruthless devil lord like you?! This pill, you can just treat it as compensation from me as I had thought your haughty pride should have been hurt by those cool remarks I used to brush you off from pestering me in the past…”

Ning Fan’s smile faded and let out a faint sigh.

So that’s how it is.

This woman does not just like me for no reason at all. It’s because of the shadow of the true Lu Bei. He always harassed her in the past and planted a bad image of himself in her mind. Then, when I replaced him, making him appear to undergo a 180 degrees change, the bad impression she had of Lu Bei turned into a deeper, favorable impression.

In a way, the affectionate feelings that Lu Wan’er harbored towards him were mixed with guilt due to the hate she had for him in the past. Even so, her love would definitely come to fruition if Ning Fan was Lu Bei in the first place.

Unfortunately, Ning Fan was not Lu Bei.

“You are trying to love the wrong person…” Ning Fan said.

“Yea. I know…” Lu Wan’er sighed. She misunderstood what Ning Fan meant. She thought Ning Fan was just saying that he did not like her and it would be impossible for them to be together.

“But this pill is too precious. If I take this pill, please consider that I owe you a favor. If you need me in the future, I will help you once…” Ning Fan continued.

“Ha. Really?” Lu Wan’er smiled while her hands started to help Ning Fan undress his clothes.

Her hands came into contact with Ning Fan’s body as she helped him undress his clothes. It was her first time helping a man in taking off his clothes.

To women of the demon race, helping a man take off his clothes was actually no different than pledging to marry that man.

With only his storage pouch, Ning Fan entered the blood pool.

From beside the pool, Lu Wan’er looked at Ning Fan as he gradually went into the pool, feeling a hint of dizziness. The redness on her cheeks spread throughout her whole face. She had never imagined that a tyrannical killer like Ning Fan would have such a thin and fair body.

He really does look like a scholar…

“The white fox and the human scholar…”

Lu Wan’er seemed absorbed in her own thoughts.

“Lu Bei, I wish you will have an infinitely bright future… Even if you forget about me in the future, it doesn’t matter…” She murmured to herself.

In the blood pool, Ning Fan plunged to the bottom like a rapid torpedo. Immersing himself in the viscous liquid, Ning Fan gradually opened his eyes and consumed the Mid-Grade Fifth Revolution Pill, Blood Awakening Pill!

The demon blood surrounding his body was boiling!

However, because of the Blood Awakening Pill, he felt particularly cool and serene.

This pill was specifically meant to be used by Demon Generals in their Third Bloodline Awakening. Using it in the Second Bloodline Awakening would be wasteful. Therefore, Lu Wan’er chose to keep it during her Second Bloodline Awakening. However, she did not think it would go to waste if Ning Fan consumes it.

She heard from her brother that after the Second Bloodline Awakening, he would recommend Ning Fan to participate the test for Demon Generals in the Luo Yun Province. If he succeeds, he might even have the chance to attain the Divine Transformation Realm. When the time comes, Ning Fan would become a significant person who stands above thousands of demons. As for his future, he might have a chance to go out of the Luo Yun Tribe, quell the disputes between the nine divisions and even ascend to the Land of Demons…

This will probably be the last chance for me to meet him.

It was why she decided to give him the Blood Awakening Pill.

It was why she decided to help this winged demon to condense the best pair of wings before he leaves the Northern Desert City and fly to a higher place.

Women of the demon race were beings with the most unreasonable passion. Once they fall for someone, they would never turn their head back.

However, Lu Wan’er would never know Ning Fan was not the true Lu Bei.

In fact, he was not a true demon of the demon race…

“Thank you…”

Ning Fan muttered. His vision was gradually being shrouded by a faint purple qi.

At this moment, his sense towards his own bloodlines became multiple times sharper than before.

Vividly, he noticed the traces of demon blood within his body breathing.

He could even vaguely see the 17 green demon bloodlines concealed within him.

Those are my winged demon bloodlines!

Absorbing the power of the blood pool was actually helping him increase the number of green bloodlines within in order to increase the concentration of his demon bloodline!

“Absorb!”

From the 17 demon bloodlines, Ning Fan had congealed 17 green feathers each of which transforming into a green vortex that began to absorb the blood of the pool before Lu Zongyun had started to kowtow to the demon statue!

This process was as painful as burning one’s blood veins. To Ning Fan, however, such pain was considered normal.

After all, he was a “monster” who could endure one hundred inscriptions of devil marks!

Almost in an instant, he congealed the eighteenth vortex!

Whether it was Lu Zongyun or Demon General Lu Sheng who was standing under the Wall of Demon Shadow, all of them were shocked!

What kind of people could absorb the demon blood without the prestige of the Demon Ancestor’s demon statue?!

Unless the person consumes the Blood Awakening Pill. But only the Honorable Demon General possess those pills which are only given to the Demon Generals. An ordinary Demon Soldier would never be able to get any of them!

“Is it Wan’er? She said she wanted to watch over him but unexpectedly, she even gave her only Blood Awakening Pill to him… She really is a silly girl. Is it even worth the trouble…” Lu Sheng sighed, thinking that his own sister had fallen for a person whom she shouldn’t have.

Lu Wan’er’s eyes flashed with astonishment.

“Congealing a new green vortex1 in just a brief moment of time…Even ordinary Demon Generals would not be able to perform that…Besides, the process of Blood Awakening is extremely painful and yet you didn’t even make a single sound. My foresight is really good…You are indeed the most outstanding man that I have ever seen in my life…Unfortunately, I am not the perfect match for you…”

Within the second palace, Lu Zongyun did not dare to act slowly anymore. Immediately, he knelt on the ground and started to kowtow towards the demon statue of the Demon Ancestor.

Ten kowtows, one hundred kowtows, one thousand kowtows… Clouds of white gas gradually rose as a result of Lu Zongyun’s prayers and entered the hundred zhang* tall demon statue. The eyes of the statue slightly glowed with golden light. Although it was extremely faint, the demon blood in the pool of blood seemed to have been affected by the prestige of the Demon Ancestor. Ning Fan’s absorption speed was enhanced by nearly one fold!

At the same time, he felt that his demon blood was burning. Despite the pain, his eyes remained calm and were filled resolute!

His finger drew circles in the liquid which turned into vortexes that rapidly condensed the demon qi!

19 traces, 20 traces…25 traces!

When he attained the required amount of bloodline traces for the Second Bloodline Awakening, his eyelids twitched. His hands did not stop moving as he continued to congeal the twenty-sixth bloodline vortex instead.

On the Wall of Demon Shadow, his ranking kept climbing!

Now, his name was already ranked at the 8600th place!

Lu Bei, winged demon bloodline, 25 marks!

When the score of his bloodline increased to 26, Lu Sheng’s eyes brightened up.

“As I expected, this kid was not just aiming for an ordinary Bloodline Awakening. What he is after is surely the Incomplete Immemorial Demon Bloodline!”

In the meantime, Lu Zongyun was bitterly complaining within his mind.

While he was kowtowing towards the demon statue, he was flabbergasted by Ning Fan’s unbelievable speed in condensing his demon blood.

When Ning Fan had condensed the twenty-fifth trace of demon bloodline, he heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that Ning Fan would not fail in Bloodline Awakening this time…

However, when the twenty-sixth trace of demon bloodline was formed, Lu Zongyun’s heart sank.

What?! Don’t tell me he wants to attain 60 bloodline traces in order to awaken the bloodline of a hybrid demon?!

Hybrid demons might be weaker than the True Spirits, but they were regarded as powerful type of demons. Besides, if they arrive at the pinnacle of their cultivations, they would probably not be any weaker than the True Spirits.

According to ancient sayings, there were four types of formidable hybrid demons – the Hundun, the Qiongqi, the Taowu and the Taotie. They were known as the Four Perils2. One has to condense different types of demon bloodlines which would then fuse and form a powerful demon body like any of the four types.

“During his first attempt in the Second Bloodline Awakening, he only managed to condense 9 bloodline traces before he failed. This time, he might have been lucky to be able to attain 25 traces of bloodlines but why didn’t he learn to behave? Why does he have to condense 60 traces? What if he fails in the middle of the process? The Demon General will for sure think that it’s all my fault…Hai… Fine! I will just accompany you regardless of anything now!”

Lu Zongyun stopped prostrating in front of the demon statue and slapped his storage pouch to take out a jade bottle which contained a column of milky white gas. It was the power of Incense Flame.

It was the power which he secretly accumulated throughout the years of becoming the flamen of the Bloodline Pool. He once used half of its power for his own son to awaken his bloodline. Now, there was another half left which he intended to use on Ning Fan.

“Since you want to condense 60 traces of bloodlines, this old man will go all-out to help you! Who asked this old man to be bound together with you in good or bad?!”

Lu Zongyun crushed the bottle and the white mist entered the demon statue. Instantly, the speed of condensation of the blood within the pool increased by three times!

After congealing the thirty-first bloodline vortex, Ning Fan could obviously feel the blood of the pool condense at a much slower speed.

The more blood vortexes he tried to congeal, the harder it became.

It will probably take a longer time for me to congeal the thirty-second blood vortex.

Just as he muttered to himself, the blood pool instantaneously boiled even more violently than before. Almost immediately, he formed the thirty-second blood vortex!

Oh? Apparently, that Lu Zongyun spared no effort at all as the speed of the blood condensation in the pool increased so drastically all of a sudden…

He cleared his thoughts and calmed himself down, putting all his concentration in condensing his bloodline.

In a flash, ten days passed!

33 traces, 34 traces… 59 traces!

When he formed the sixtieth bloodline within his body, his name on the Wall of Demon Shadow glowed brightly with green light. His name had risen to the 147th place!

That is to say, in the vast and boundless Second World, Ning Fan was ranked 147th within the nine divisions in terms of demon bloodline.

Meanwhile, countless experts rushed to the Demon General Egg in their respective cities and observed the name that rose sharply on their respective Wall of Demon Shadow!

“It’s Lu Bei! Isn’t he the ferocious demon who is on the wanted poster?! The bounty on his head is 30 million immortal jade! I heard that he is a Mid Divine Transformation Realm demon but how is it possible that he had just begun his Second Bloodline Awakening? It’s strange, so strange!”

In the province of the Lie Tu Tribe, a sturdily built man wearing silver armor stood below the Wall of Demon Shadow with his gloomy eyes staring directly on the wall. Innumerable demon experts who stood behind him did not dare to even breathe heavily in his presence.

He was the Honorable Demon General, the Earth General, Bai Wuzun!

“*Snort* So this is Lu Bei. According to the men I sent to investigate him, he is just a trash who once failed the Second Bloodline Awakening. I didn’t believe their reports at first. However, based on what I am seeing now, there is really something fishy about the extermination of the Fallen Peak Guards. He might have used some devious tactics that I don’t know about to harm Xiong Rui… Hmmph! All in all, placing 30 million as bounty on his head is a little too much!”

In the province of the Luo Yun Tribe, an elderly man who wore an armor set made of the shells of beasts stood below the Wall of Demon Shadow while leaning on his crutch which was adorned with a dragon-head on its tip. His eyes were narrowed to slits, making him look wise and sagacious.

“Lu Bei… So this is the person recommended by Lu Sheng to be the Eight General of the tribe. He is quite extraordinary… Emperor Shadow, the qi of the Demon Ancestor… If this person can condense more than a hundred traces of demon bloodlines and awaken the Incomplete Immemorial Demon Bloodlines, I will without a doubt appoint him as the Eight Demon General of my Luo Yun Tribe even if he has yet to attain the Divine Transformation Realm!”

In the province of the Pure Flame Tribe, a middle-aged man clad in a scarlet dragon robe stood below the Wall of Demon Shadow in their city while twiddling with his long beard.

Behind him, Wang Xiao and the other nine Demon Generals who came from the Demon World sat leisurely on their seats, paying no attention to the wall at all.

“The amount of his demon bloodlines has increased to more than 60 traces. I didn’t expect that he would be such an incomprehensible person…” The middle-aged man’s eyes turned cold.

However, his words caused the ten Demon Generals including Wang Xiao to mockingly laugh.

“It’s just 60 traces of bloodlines. He isn’t even worth mentioning, unless this person condenses more than a hundred traces of demon bloodlines!”

Indeed, Wang Xiao and his group were lofty as they were specially blessed by Heaven.

As the elites from the demon races of the immortal world, they already possessed Incomplete Immemorial Demon Bloodlines ever since they were born. During the Second Bloodline Awakening, all of their bloodlines had evolved into Immemorial Demon Bloodlines. After the Third Bloodline Awakening, some of their bloodlines had even evolved into stronger Immemorial Demon Blood!

Li Ban was one good example!

Among the experts of the Bloody Carp Race, he relied on his own hard work and successfully condensed the bloodline of the Immemorial Thunder Dragon, making him be regarded as a proud son of heaven!

Therefore, it was common for an outstanding being like him to belittle Ning Fan.

“No. It’s not like what General Wang thinks… This Lu Bei is the spy I arranged to infiltrate the Luo Yun Tribe. Spies like him are selected from demons who have inferior inner potentials and all of them have problematic behaviors. Especially this Lu Bei, he was once a weakling who had no talent at all. I don’t even want to look at him for a single second… Last time, he even turned himself into a laughingstock when he failed his Bloodline Awakening as he only managed to condense nine traces of bloodlines. This time, however, he actually condensed 60 traces of them…It just looks strange…as if he were someone else…”

“Haha! General Flame is just overthinking! I think we should spend more time on discussing proper business. How should we gather the other eight parts of the map of the World Passage and kill Lu Wu, the evil Demon Marshal? I believe it’s much more important than that little weakling, don’t you think so?

“Is it really me thinking too much?” The man in the dragon robe muttered to himself while his brows tightly knitted together.

Among the ten Demon Generals, only Li Ban’s eyes lingered on Ning Fan’s name, as if he was deep in thought.

With no reasons, Lu Bei’s image surfaced within his mind.

It was not the image of a lowly servant who welcomed them into the Second World in the past but it was overlapped by another man’s image…

Zhou Ming… *Snort* I wonder if this man has already died in the ancient teleportation formation. If he is still alive, I would be very willing to go to the Endless Sea once more after completing my mission and finish him off! From the position of the teleportation formation he entered that day, he should have come to the Endless Sea… However, this Zhou Ming must have died in the Void Realm after the collapse of the formation…

Li Ban thought to himself while his lips curved into a sneer.

If he were to know that Ning Fan was alive, what would his feelings be like…

Under the Wall of Demon Shadow in the Northern Desert City.

Lu Sheng’s eyes remained at the jade wall with a frown between his glabella.

He deeply believed that Ning Fan did not plan to stop after condensing 60 traces of demon bloodlines.

This kid will surely advance to the higher level – Incomplete Immemorial Demon Bloodline!

When the number “60” turned into “61”, the crease between his brows faded and his eyes lit up and burst into laughter.

“Haha! My judgement was correct. I didn’t view him wrongly! Who else can compete against him for the position of the Eight General in the province?”

In the second palace, the skin of Lu Zongyun’s forehead started to be covered in blisters.

For ten days, he had been kowtowing non-stop towards the demon statue!

During that period of time, Lu Zongyun could not activate his demon power to protect his forehead in order to display his sincerity, making the skin on his forehead break apart even though he was a dignified Peak Nascent Soul Realm demon.

When he saw Ning Fan’s demon bloodlines had attained 60 marks, he finally felt relieved.

After all, this man didn’t waste all my effort. At least, he did not waste the power of the Incense Flame that I’ve gathered for a thousand years…

Now, it should be enough for him to awaken the demon bloodline of a hybrid demon…

He prepared to stand up but before he could, his knees softened, making him kneel down to the ground again. This time, he felt an unbearable pressure on his heart, making him spurt out a mouthful of blood.

“61! 61! Don’t tell me this guy still wants to condense a hundred traces of bloodlines! He can awaken the bloodline of a hybrid demon already, isn’t he satisfied yet?!”

Within his heart, he was filled with the impulse to curse someone’s mother. If he was not the flamen of the Northern Desert City who was a reputable person in public, he would have spat some curses regardless of his identity.

This Lu Bei is too ungrateful! If I didn’t use the power of the Incense Flame which I have been reserving for a thousand years and exert all my strength in kowtowing to the demon statue, do you really think you can condense 60 demon bloodlines with your poor, inferior inner potential?! After working so damn hard to attain 60 demon bloodlines, now you want to condense up to 100 demon bloodlines and awaken the Incomplete Immemorial Demon Bloodline? Go and realize it in your own sweet dreams!

You really piss me off! Arghhhhhh!

But if you fail, Demon General Lu Sheng won’t spare my life either!

God… Oh God, please have pity on me. I have been doing my best to help him without a single intention of harming him, why doesn’t he know when to quit?

“…Fine! I suppose you aren’t going to give up before awakening the Incomplete Immemorial Demon Bloodline. If you fail in the end, my entire family and I will surely be eradicated, let alone continue being the flamen of the Bloodline Pool. This item was passed down from the ancestors of my Lu Family – Life Blood Incense Flame! Every generation of flamen would turn their life and blood into a cloud of blood-red Incense Flame using the contribution of worshipping the Demon Ancestor for thousands of years. I originally planned to use this item during my Third Bloodline Awakening… Now, consider it as the price to pay for my life! If you fail, I won’t even be alive anymore, not to mention attain the Divine Transformation Realm!”

Lu Zongyun sobbed while he broke the bottle. A column of red mist was absorbed into the demon statue.

In the following second, the faint golden glow of the demon statue was slowly being dyed red. At the same time, the speed of the condensation of blood in the pool improved by tens of times!

“If you dare to fail in awakening the Incomplete Immemorial Demon Blood, this old man will kill you!”

Lu Zongyun’s eyes were filled with reluctance, pain, bitterness, madness and even resentment!

He felt that if Lu Bei still doesn’t stop in awakening his bloodline upon condensing a hundred traces of them, he would literally go insane!

People must learn to be contented with what they have and stop being greedy! Didn’t your damned father teach you that?!

Note:

The number of the bloodline vortexes he congealed in the blood pool was equivalent to the traces of demon bloodlines in his body which is also equivalent to the score of his bloodline on the Wall of Demon Shadow.
For eg: 25 bloodline vortexes in the pool = 25 traces demon bloodlines in his body = 25 marks on the Wall of Demon Shadow
