Grasping Evil - Chapter 256

Chapter 256: Chapter 256 Entering the Province!

At the entrance to the province, the sound of galloping hooves echoed from the distance and seventeen brilliant young men emerged from the dust in a flash. Each and every one of them wore a proud and arrogant look.

The young man leading the group was clad in silver armor, emanating a dense Late Nascent Soul Realm qi. His appearance was rather handsome and energetic, making him a little more unusual compared to ordinary demons.

He was Lu Tianming, the person who had the most outstanding potential among the descendants of the Cloud General, Lu Daochen.

Ever since Lu Wan’er became a disciple of the Cloud General, he had fallen in love with her. However, Lu Wan’er rejected him and left the province and went back to Northern Desert City.

“I, Luo Tianming, am the strongest youth in the Luo Yun Tribe! As for Lu Wan’er, her innate potential could be regarded as first-class while her spirit augmentation technique is the best in the entire tribe. Other than me, who else has the qualifications to marry her?! Lu Bei? He is a person who only achieved Early Nascent Soul Realm after a thousand years, relying on the shade of his ancestor. He is a person who failed the Second Bloodline Awakening. What is he? He is the weakest Demon Soldier of the Luo Yun Tribe, the utter shame of the Northern Desert! According to my sources, the reason why he was able to awaken the royal bloodline was because of the Fifth Revolution Blood Awakening Pill given by Lu Wan’er and also the flamen, Lu Zongyun, who totally used up the Incense Flame he inherited from his ancestors!”

After he finished speaking, his handsome and elegant facial features dissipated. What replaced it was a strong, evil and violent qi.

Originally, only Demon General Lu Sheng was granted the Blood Awakening Pill. It was actually Lu Tianming who pleaded the old ancestor of the tribe to grant a second pill for Lu Wan’er to aid her in awakening her bloodline.

However, Lu Wan’er gave such a precious pill to another person!

How could Lu Tianming not feel hateful about it?!

“Lu Bei! Even if he had the help from Lu Wan’er and Lu Zongyun and managed to awaken royal demon bloodline, but what’s his bloodline?! Fu Li?! Is there really such a True Spirit Race in this world?! I suppose he is trying to court people’s favour by saying something impressive. Today, let me teach that cheater who deceives the people in order to build a false reputation for himself a lesson!”

He leaped down from his horse and stepped on the ground. As soon as his foot landed on the ground, it shook violently. Clearly, his body refining level had attained Half-Step Jade Life Realm!

He was regarded as the most talented son of heaven. However, his frivolous and unrestrained attitude needs to be corrected.

In a dark corner, a silver-haired elderly man wearing an armor set made of the scales of the beasts stood while leaning on his walking stick which was adorned with the sculpture of a dragon head. His eyes were squinted in a line but his presence emanated a formidable demeanor.

There were four Peak Nascent Soul Realm experts standing respectfully behind him. One of them was surnamed Qin. With a worried expression, he cupped his fist towards the elderly man and said, “Honorable Demon General, isn’t it a little inappropriate to allow Young Master Tianming to welcome Lu Bei?”

“Why is that so?” The elderly man replied coldly.

“Young Master Tianming likes the sister of Demon General Lu Sheng. It is a matter known by everyone. However, I heard that Lu Bei has also brought her along in this trip and their relationship is more than just…Perhaps, they are already… I’m afraid, Young Master Tianming would challenge Lu Bei to a fight because of that lady!”

“Isn’t this good?” The elderly man’s lips curved into a smile.

“Good?! Lord! Although that Lu Bei has offended Young Master Tianming, I don’t think his sin is unreasonable enough to cause him to die! He might just be a Mid Nascent Soul Realm demon, but his innate potential must be extraordinary for being able to awaken a royal demon bloodline. Even though no one knows what Fu Li is, it has to be one of the True Spirit Races that was extinct in ancient times. Anyhow, Lu Bei is also a talented person. As for Young Master Tianming, he is a Late Nascent Soul Realm expert. Besides, he cultivates demonic techniques as well as body refining techniques. Now, his body refining realm is just a hair’s breadth away from Jade Life Realm… If Young Master Tianming gets infuriated and intends to kill Lu Bei, won’t the latter be in a very dangerous situation?”

“Hehe. Just look. Nothing will happen to Lu Bei. In stark contrast, my son, Tianming will be taught a huge lesson today. It is a good opportunity for him to learn how to restrain his attitude. Only then will he have the hope of advancing into the Divine Transformation Realm…” When the elderly man spoke about Lu Bei, his eyes shined.

“What?! Are you saying that Young Master Tianming is not a match for Lu Bei?!” The demon with the surname of Qin looked at the elderly man with his mouth agape, feeling unable to believe what he had just heard.

“Do you know why I would come today?”

“No, this subordinate does not!” That surnamed Qin demon lowered his head while cupping his fists towards the elderly man. At the same time, his heart was also filled with doubts. Actually, it was supposed to be just an ordinary ceremony to welcome the commanding officer of the Northern Desert. It was considered grand enough to have Young Master Tianming present at the scene along with another 17 Nascent Soul Realm experts. He really did not have any idea why the Honorable Demon General would personally hide at a dark corner.

“The reason I came was to protect Tianming’s life! If I am not here, once the Lu Bei begins to kill…Hehe, he is unstoppable…”

“This is impossible! Not to mention if Lu Bei is strong enough to kill Young Master, if he really can, does he really dare to act here, in the province, knowing well that Young Master Tianming is one of your descendants?”

“You are wrong… There is nothing this man does not dare to do… For the World Passage to the Third World, he will probably dare to kill me too… In the entire Luo Yun Tribe, no one is able to stop him – Zhou Ming from the Endless Sea!”

The elderly man’s eyes which were originally hazy brightened up!

He had already performed divination and roughly discovered the identity of Ning Fan.

Gradually, his eyes returned to their normal state and gazed at the sky.

A ray of golden light pierced through the mist and smoke in the distance and dashed towards the direction of the entrance!

When the golden flame dispersed, it turned into a crystal chariot. At the moment it stopped, 41 elites of the Northern Desert alighted from the vehicle under Yao Yuan’s lead, emanating a massive amount of killing intent.

Most of the cultivators among the 41 demons were at the Early Nascent Soul Realm. Only a minority of them were at the Mid Nascent Soul Realm. Still, when they approached the entrance step by step, their aura became as penetrating as a razor-sharp sword, making the 17 demon soldiers of the province unable to rein their battle horses. Under that killing intent, each and every one of them were inwardly astonished.

So this is the aura of the Demon Soldiers from the border?

Every one of the 41 demons were experts that were able to stay alive after going through hundreds of battles and skirmishes. Their aura was definitely unrivalled compared to the Demon Soldiers from the province who cultivated in peace and tranquility.

Especially Lu Tianming, his eyes became solemn.

41 soldiers! Demon General Lu Sheng sent 41 of his elite group just to escort that Lu Bei?!

He felt jealous, particularly about the Golden Flame Chariot that was ridden by Lu Bei! He had once sincerely pleaded the old ancestor for it but he did not acquire it in the end.

“Those who come, stop! Where do you belong and why do you come to the province?!” Lu Tianming coldly asked.

“I am Yao Yuan. We belong to the demon troops of the Northern Desert City. We are the vanguard of the Demon General Lu Sheng. We came to the province under the military order of the Honorable Demon General. Our duty is to escort Commanding Officer Lu of the Blood Orchid Guards to the province in order to participate in the qualifying test for Demon Generals!”

Privately, he might be able to honorably address Lu Bei as Demon General Lu Bei. In a formal occasion, however, one’s official military post must not be ambiguous.

“Commanding Officer Lu…Don’t tell me he is the disgrace of the Northern Desert City – Lu Bei…” Lu Tianming sneered whereas Yao Yuan’s face turned gloomy.

The latter lifted his head and responded, “Commanding Officer is not a disgrace of the Northern Desert at all! Young Master Tianming, please mind your words!”

“Mind my words? Hehe. Are you trying to teach me?” Lu Tianming’s eyes narrowed into a line.

“No. This soldier does not dare!” Although Yao Yuan was explicitly saying that he did not dare, his eyes were filled with a hint of contempt towards Lu Tianming.

Of course, he knew who Lu Tianming was. However, in his mind, the latter was a person who tried to woo Demon General Lu Sheng’s sister – Lu Wan’er to the point where she was compelled to leave the province and return to the Northern Desert City in order to avoid him.

This person might have an outstanding inborn talent. But such a talented person who spent his life in the peaceful province only knew about the contentions of mouth and tongue. In Yao Yuan’s eyes, a person like him was worthless.

In the past, he only respected one person and that person was the Demon General of the Northern Desert – Lu Sheng!

Now, there was another person he had respect for and he was none other than Lu Bei!

As for Lu Tianming, no matter how strong his cultivation level gets, he was still a worthless son of the rich in Yao Yuan’s eyes.

“It’s better that you said that…However, I received no military order from the Honorable Demon General to see Lu Bei. Regarding the test for Demon Generals, it only chooses the outstanding demons who have attained the Late Nascent Soul Realm and above as the candidates to enter the Dragon Pond and ascend to the Cloud Platform to receive Heaven’s fate… So tell me, does Lu Bei, a mere Early Nascent Soul Realm Demon Soldier have the right to participate in the test?! If you don’t have better things to do, I suggest you to return to your Northern Desert City! This place does not welcome the disgrace of the Northern Desert!”

As soon as Lu Tianming’s words fell, the 16 Demon Soldiers behind him immediately cupped their fists towards him, trying to remonstrate. But before they managed to speak a single word, Lu Tianming waved his hand, signaling them to back off.

A shred of anger flashed within Yao Yuan’s eyes.

The twelve golden orders from the Honorable Demon General are all fake ones?

How can the sincerity and seriousness of Demon General Lu Sheng be dishonored just like that?

How can the military order be treated as if it is a trifling matter?!

Even if you, Lu Tianming, are the descendant of the Honorable Demon General and possess extraordinary potential, you are also committing a sin in defying the military order of the Honorable Demon General!

Furthermore, you called Commanding Officer Lu as the disgrace of the Northern Desert whenever you wish and even claimed that he isn’t fit to participate in the qualifying test. It’s really absurd!

If a person who killed three Divine Transformation Realm demons on his own isn’t suitable to participate in the test, who else can?!

Yao Yuan glared at Lu Tianming. Deep inside, he clearly knew that the latter was just trying to take revenge using an official matter. He also knew that it was all because of Lu Wan’er.

However, Lu Tianming completely ignored Yao Yuan’s glare.

“Why don’t you quickly roll back to your Norther Desert?!” Lu Tianming spoke disdainfully.

“We aren’t permitted to leave before fulfilling the military order! Young Master Tianming, I suggest you let us pass rather than making this matter turn into a big issue!”

“Military order…How dare you try to coerce me using military order?! What are you?! A Mid Nascent Soul Realm demon like you might be considered quite strong in the Northern Desert City, but within three moves, you will die in my hands for sure!”

“Why should I fear death?!”

As their confrontation turned hostile, the 16 Demon Soldiers behind Lu Tianming voiced out in unison in order to dissuade Lu Tianming. The latter unhappily let out a cold snort.

“Fine! For the sake of my Demon Soldiers, I will pardon you for your offense. However, if you want to enter the province, you must present a gift. I believe you should at least know about this established practice, even though you are just a Demon Soldier from the borderline…If your present is able to satisfy me, you are allowed to freely enter the province. If it isn’t, Lu Wan’er must stay!”

Lu Tianming’s tone of voice changed. From the beginning up until now, his intention was simple. Before Lu Wan’er is able to meet his old ancestor, he wants to kidnap her and do something that cannot be undone to her to avoid her getting protection from the old ancestor who will make things difficult for him. Besides, since Lu Wan’er was also entering the province, Lu Tianming would definitely never let go of her with ease.

The way he deals with things was exactly the same as that of a son from a well-off family.

“How dare you?! Mistress is the sister of Demon General Lu Sheng, how can she be detained by you?!” The forty Demon Soldiers replied, feeling enraged while getting into battle stance by placing their hands on the sheaths of their swords.

But this time, Yao Yuan did not get angry at all. His lips curved into a contemptuous smile instead.

Gift?!

You want a gift?!

“Wait. Have you all forgotten that our Commanding Officer Lu has already prepared a ‘special gift’, specifically for Young Master Tianming…This gift is so precious that I think no one of the province will be daring enough to receive it…”

Yao Yuan’s words were like a gust of wind that diminished the anger within the 40 Demon Soldiers.

Currently, all 41 of them had a similar expression – waiting to see Lu Tianming embarrass himself!

There was indeed a gift but Lu Tianming did not even have the qualification to accept it at all!

“My subordinates, prepare the gift!”

As Yao Yuan shouted the order, two well-built Demon Soldiers lifted a wooden box with both of their hands and threw it in front of Lu Tianming’s horse with an arrogant expression.

*Bang*

Moreover, one of them scornfully spat a mouthful of saliva at Lu Tianming’s direction.

Lu Tianming’s heart was filled with anger. In his eyes, each and every one of the Demon Soldiers from the Northern Desert City were just a bunch of riffraff.

Despicable!

But this wooden box is quite extraordinary… It is made of Profound Spiritual Purple Wood. If it is used to store spiritual pills and medicines, they won’t rot even after ten thousand years and they will remain fresh. This box alone should be worth around hundreds of thousands of immortal jade…

Apparently, it looks rather expensive…

Fine. Before penalizing Lu Bei, let me check what’s within.

“If this gift does not suit my appetite, Lu Wan’er will be mine! Soldiers, open the box!”

Under his command, two of his henchmen immediately got down from their horses and ran towards the box. Both of them were Early Nascent Soul Realm experts. They had been born in aristocratic families. Therefore, they had already gotten accustomed to the comfort and wealth in the province. In the past, during their Second Bloodline Awakening, their bloodlines were only slightly stronger than the previous Lu Bei.

As their hands landed on the surface of the box and opened a gap, a ferocious and overbearing qi which was comparable to that of a True Wild Beast gushed towards their faces instantly. As they were caught off guard, that fierce qi caused their qi to be in chaos, making them cough out a mouthful of blood. At the same time, their bodies retreated from the box and eventually fell down beside Lu Tianming. Disbelief filled both of their faces. Their bodies shivered uncontrollably in fear.

“Demon…Demon…”

Furthermore, none of them were able to utter a complete sentence!

After witnessing the pathetic scene experienced by the henchmen of Lu Tianming, Yao Yuan and the other Demon Soldiers laughed in unison. They did not even spare a glance on them.

“Gift, we have presented it to you. But it seems like Young Master Tianming’s subordinates are too weak to even open the lid of the box, let alone see what it looks like.”

Yao Yuan’s words were like needles piercing through Lu Tianming’s ears, making him feel extremely unwilling.

Raising his horsewhip, he whipped at his two subordinates without hesitation.

“Trash! Zhang Wei, Liu Kuang, the two of you go and open it!”

As his command echoed in the sky, another two Demon Soldiers approached the box. However, they had the same reaction as the two previous henchmen. Before they could even lift up the cover, they were already shocked to the core by the overpowering Baleful Qi.

Now, Lu Tianming’s face finally became solemn. He realized that the box must have contained an extremely terrific item that could cause four of his Nascent Soul Realm demons to fail in opening up the lid.

Walking towards the box, he decided to personally open the box.

For every step he made which got him closer and closer to the box, his heart pounded faster. As he arrived at the side of the box, his heart palpitated so fast that it nearly jumped out of his throat. Before opening the box, an overwhelmingly terrifying feeling had consumed his heart.

Inwardly, he was astonished.

What exactly is inside this box? Why it is able to cause me, one of the most outstanding beings of the Luo Yun Tribe, feel such fear.

Cautiously, he decided to ask about the item within the box first.

“Yao Yuan, let me ask you first. What’s inside the box?!”

“Heads! The heads chopped off from the enemies killed by our Commanding Officer Lu!” Yao Yuan sneered.

“Heads? Who can he, an Early Nascent Soul Realm being, possibly kill?!”

Lu Tianming tried to stabilize his composure, not believing in what Yao Yuan had just said.

Reaching out his hand, he went for the lid of the box.

However, when the lid of the box was just lifted up for half a cun*, a trace of bloody Baleful Qi seeped out from within, making Lu Tianming feel a chill down his spine.

He gnashed his teeth, repressing his fear and opened the lid up to a cun. From the aperture, he could vaguely see three human heads.

Mustering all of his strength, he slammed his palm on the lid. With his Half-Step Jade Life Body Refining Realm, the lid of the box was crushed into pieces.

However, without the lid, what he saw was really beyond his expectations.

Human head! Three human heads!

As the Baleful Qi of the three heads spread, Lu Tianming and the rest of his subordinates were instantly overwhelmed by terror.

Even Lu Tianming himself had his four limbs trembling in fear ceaselessly.

“These…These are… These are…! Demon… Demon… the heads of Demon Generals!”

He felt a sudden jolt in his mind. Under the nourishment of the Profound Spiritual Purple Wood, the three chopped-off heads were as good as new. They did not decay at all.

Aside from that, the hatred, resentment and grudges that they felt right before they died still remained on the expressions of their heads.

He continuously retreated backwards for seven steps, coughing out a mouthful of fresh blood for each step he made.

After seven steps, he felt a sharp pain in his chest. Half-kneeling on the ground, his fearful gaze shifted towards the direction of the Golden Flame Chariot!

The heads of three Demon Generals, the lives of three Demon Generals! Who did it?!

If Lu Tianming was not wrong, the three of them should be Bai Yuan, Xu Ri and Feng Ziqi from the Lie Tu Tribe… He had a particular impression on Xu Ri as his old ancestor had even praised the latter. In fact, Xu Ri was the person who had the highest hope in attaining the Mid Divine Transformation Realm in the Lie Tu Tribe!

He died just like that?! Who did it?!

Lu Bei… It’s Lu Bei! Yao Yuan said just now, the three of them were all killed by him!

And he killed them all on his own!

Now, I am trying to act arrogant in front of such a formidable person to rob his woman?!

“No. This isn’t true. No!”

His eyes flashed with a hint of craziness. In the meantime, Ning Fan, bringing along Lu Wan’er beside him, steadily stepped out from the Golden Flame Chariot.

Ever since his arrival at the province, Ning Fan did not intend to get entangled in a conflict with Lu Tianming. The latter might be considered as a proud son of heaven, but Ning Fan could be regarded as an old ancestor figure. In the Second World, those who were competent enough to block his path were none other than the Honorable Demon Generals!

If it was not because Lu Tianming kept claiming that he wanted Lu Wan’er, Ning Fan would be too lazy to even cast a glance at him.

“You said you want to detain my wife, Lu Wan’er?! Tell me, are you bold enough to repeat what you’ve said again?!”

Ning Fan took a step forward. As his foot landed on the ground, the aura of heaven and earth shook and sword light flashed from all directions. With just a single step, the powerless Lu Tianming spat out blood and was sent flying away. Bewildered, his eyes widened and stared straight at Ning Fan.

“Half…Half-Step Divine Transformation Realm! This is the true power of Lu Bei?!”

Injuring a Late Nascent Soul Realm demon with Half-Step Jade Life Body Refining Realm like Lu Tianming in just one step. Not even the seven generals of the Luo Yun Tribe would be able to do it. The only person who could possibly do that was the old ancestor himself!

So this is Lu Bei!

He isn’t similar at all to the rumors. How is it possible that he is the weakest Demon Soldier and the disgrace of the Northern Desert City?

His qi is much stronger than some of the Demon Generals that Lu Tianming had met before!

Who can rival him for the position of Eighth General of the tribe? It’s hilarious that I even publicly claimed that he isn’t qualified to participate in the test…

If he wants to enter the province, who else could stop him for me?! Such being in this world is able to freely trespass other tribes without being stopped by anyone!

The three bloody heads of the Demon Generals are the warnings for whoever tries to stop him!

“I am asking you a question! Do you dare to repeat again what you said earlier!”

Ning Fan took the second step!

When his stomped reached the ground, Lu Tianming coughed out blood again. His demon Nascent Soul was on the verge of collapsing whereas his Heart of Dao was shattered by that move!

Without a hundred years, it would be impossible for him to reconstruct his Heart of Dao. Even if he manages to reconstruct it in the future, it would be especially difficult for him to attain the Divine Transformation Realm!

Lu Wan’er who was standing behind Ning Fan felt touched but also shocked at the same time.

She was touched because Ning Fan kept mentioning “Lu Wan’er is my wife”. The current Ning Fan gave her a feeling that no matter who came to ask for her, he would never be forgiving towards them!

“Offending the Honorable Demon General for a silly lady like me isn’t worth it…” She muttered in a low tone but Ning Fan seemed unable to hear it.

What was even more hard to believe for Lu Wan’er was the chopped-off heads of the three Demon Generals. One of them had the same qi as the phoenix’s wings.

Before this, she asked Ning Fan where the wings came from and he told her that he obtained them from someone he killed. At that time, Lu Wan’er did not believe him. She did not believe that Ning Fan would have the power to kill a Divine Transformation Realm expert.

After all, it was already extremely difficult to defeat a demon at that level, let alone kill them. A cultivator at the Divine Transformation Realm would have a Primordial Spirit while a demon would have a demon soul. To her, restricting a Divine Transformation Realm being from escaping with his demon soul was literally just wishful thinking…It would only be possible when it was a Mid Divine Transformation Realm expert fighting an Early Divine Transformation Realm being…

But now, the evidences were placed right in front of her. She had to believe what Ning Fan said was true. He truly killed a Demon General who possessed the Fire Phoenix bloodline and cut off his phoenix’s wings!

Not only that, what was even more beyond her imagination was that Ning Fan did not just kill a Divine Transformation Realm demon but three!

In the Land of Slumber, there were not a lot of Divine Transformation Realm demons. Lu Wan’er recognized the faces of the three heads even though she was just a lady who always stayed in her room.

Bai Yuan who awakened the incomplete Immemorial Bloodline of Bai Ze, Feng Ziqi who awakened the incomplete Immemorial Bloodline of Xuan Wu1, Xu Ri who awakened the incomplete Immemorial Bloodline of the Fire Phoenix… As for Xu Ri, even my own brother once claimed that if he were to fight him, his chances of winning were just fifty percent…

But the three of them were all killed by Ning Fan by himself…Doesn’t that mean that Ning Fan’s power had already surpassed Demon General Lu Sheng’s who was given the title as the “Second Demon General of Luo Yun”? Perhaps even the First Demon General might not be on par with Ning Fan. In the whole tribe, there was probably only the Honorable Demon General himself who could fight against him…

“I didn’t know Lu Bei was so strong…” Lu Wan’er’s eyes flashed with a hint of guilt and admiration.

In a dark corner, the Cloud General, Lu Daochen widened his eyes in astonishment.

He managed to divine Ning Fan’s identity to a certain extent. He knew the latter was a devil cultivator who sneaked into the Second World from the Endless Sea. He knew that he was Zhou Ming.

He had also divined that Ning Fan would display his strength and give Lu Tianming a lesson. This setback would cause Lu Tianming to restrain himself, focus on cultivation and move towards the path to become stronger.

But Lu Daochen had never expected that Ning Fan would be able to eliminate three Demon Generals from the Lie Tu Tribe on his own!

“Bai Yuan, Feng Ziqi, Xu Ri! Even if this old man engages them in person, I’m afraid I would at most be able to kill two of them. As for Xu Ri, because of his Fire Phoenix’s regenerative ability, he can’t be cut without an Immemorial Divine Weapon… Unless I use the ‘Power of Bestowal’, there is no way I can kill that demon… This Lu Bei actually did something that I can’t even do…Apparently, I had still underestimated this kid…”

Lu Daochen thought to himself. The four Peak Nascent Soul Realm demons standing behind him wore flabbergasted expressions.

Killing three Demon Generals of the Lie Tu Tribe… This Lu Bei really is a monster!

However, as they saw their young master’s Heart of Dao being crushed, none of them could stand still and look on without doing anything.

“Lu Bei! Stop!”

Four shafts of rainbow light flashed past Lu Tianming, trying to defend him against Ning Fan.

But as soon as they emerged, the purple star in Ning Fan’s left eye blinked. He made the third step!

“Get lost!”

With his current power, all of them were sent flying away by the shockwave of his step, coughing out blood.

They were stunned. Their eyes could look at him as if they could not believe what had just happened. That step he made just now was the prestige of the royal bloodline!

As a demon, no one would be able to stand against Ning Fan unless their cultivation levels were way stronger than his.

“Lu Bei…”

Lu Wan’er grabbed Ning Fan’s arm, feeling worried that he might kill Lu Tianming out of impulse.

“Don’t worry. Let me handle this matter…”

Ning Fan’s eyes shone with cold light and landed on Lu Tianming once more.

“You have yet to answer my question…If you refuse to answer, I will make sure you die! Tell me, do you dare to ask for my wife again right in front of me?!”

The fourth step landed onto the ground.

Lu Tianming was completely covered in his own blood. His face was filled with terror, anguish and panic. His weary eyes looked at Ning Fan as if he was trying to beg for mercy.

Ning Fan’s words were like thunderclap, blasting within Lu Tianming’s mind, making him unable to resist at all.

“Tianming does not dare anymore!”

Well of course, he won’t be so daring anymore! He was a prodigal son, not a fool. To a person like him, one has to understand what kind of people they can offend and those that they shouldn’t!

Ning Fan was a person that he, Lu Tianming, must never offend in his entire life, even if he has attained the Divine Transformation Realm or succeed his old ancestor as the Honorable Demon General of the Luo Yun Tribe one day!

Before Ning Fan, all of his glory was just a laughable and insignificant matter.

“From today onwards, I, Lu Tianming, swear that I will never pester lady Wan’er anymore. If I go against my vow, I will end up just like these fingers!”

He drew out his sword and cut off three of his fingers. Blood oozed out from his hand like stream and the pain was excruciating. However, he did not dare to feel any heartache for his fingers. Instead, he was just worried that his action was not sufficient to quell Ning Fan’s anger.

“Very well! From towards onwards, I do not want to see you in anywhere I go! Disappear from my sight now!”

“Yes…”

…

In a dark corner, Lu Daochen continuously let out a few sighs.

Explicitly, Ning Fan was giving a punishment to Lu Tianming. Implicitly, his spirit sense had collided with Lu Daochen’s three times.

However, Lu Daochen had never once gained an advantage over Ning Fan from those three collisions.

“This kid actually saw through my camouflage here and correctly guessed my intention to temper Lu Tianming’s attitude in order to make him get rid of his love affairs and his haughty demeanor so that he could become an indomitable demon… This kid knew what I was thinking and it was why he did not kill Tianming. As such, I really owe him a favor for helping me out…This kid’s aspiration isn’t restricted within the tribe. Instead, what he wants is to enter the Third World! But the Third World isn’t anything like what he imagines…. What he wants is not within that place…Wan’er, you finally found a good man. Now, I am able to feel relieved for you…”

Lu Daochen heaved another deep sigh and vanished in a column of demonic smoke.

After returning to the Golden Flame Chariot, Ning Fan’s eyes glittered.

I didn’t kill Lu Tianming. In a way, I’ve fulfilled what that old man wishes – to give Lu Tianming the best lesson which I can possibly give.

If Lu Daochen did not give enough benefits to Ning Fan for that favor, perhaps Ning Fan would overturn the entire Luo Yun Province for the map to the World Passage of the Third World!

The current him possessed such power and power was the only guarantee for being domineering…

“I want the map to the World Passage of the Third World!”
