Chapter 428: Chapter 224: Silencing Witnesses, the Ning Family’s Hidden Martial Venerable

Human-Demon Swallowing Demon Technique!

Wei Fan slightly turned his gaze; this name sounded like a martial art of evil demons.

Zhou Shaobing continued, "The commander said that in the past, the Ning family relied on this Human-Demon Swallowing Demon Technique to kill fiends and make them fearful. Eighty percent of Chu Kingdom’s establishment was due to Ning family’s efforts.

It is said that at its peak, even the founding ancestor of Chu Kingdom had to bow and call the Ning family’s ancestor as brother, the position of Ning family’s ancestor was higher than the founding ancestor!"

An exotic technique brought the family to its pinnacle and even established Chu Kingdom, making emperors bow down.

Such legends are not known to outsiders like Wei Fan, but almost all Jianghu people in Chu Kingdom know the glorious past of the Ning family.

Unfortunately, the extreme glory often leads to decline; now the Ning family doesn’t even have a Martial Venerable powerhouse and has fallen to controlling gangs for money.

"What happened for such a powerful family to fall to this state?"

Wei Fan was puzzled!

Such a powerful family wouldn’t decline unless a significant change took place, a few millennia of glory wouldn’t be a problem, but based on Chu Kingdom’s founding time, Ning family’s glory seemed to last only a few hundred years.

Zhou Shaobing sighed, "The Ning family’s ancestor relied on the Human-Demon Swallowing Demon Technique to frighten fiends, provoking resentment. It’s said that during a trip, he was besieged by several Demon Kings and ultimately, killed.

Afterwards, Ning family’s powerhouses fell one after another, leading to today’s situation!"

Wei Fan nodded. It’s not just the ancestor’s demise; the powerful exotic technique, the Human-Demon Swallowing Demon Technique, must have been lost.

Otherwise, with such a formidable technique, its fame wouldn’t be obscure.

"Martial King!"

He looked solemn. The Ning family was indeed terrifying at its peak; the Ning family ancestor was undoubtedly a Martial King powerhouse, otherwise, several Demon Kings would not need to join forces to kill him.

Such level of masters he doesn’t even know where to find; for instance, the Imperial Family of the Great Victory Dynasty probably doesn’t have such a level of masters, otherwise, Qin family wouldn’t be so arrogant.

In fact, Qin family hasn’t birthed a Martial King powerhouse since its founding; that Ning family reached such heights is truly remarkable.

This all might be because of the technique called Human-Demon Swallowing Demon Technique.

Facing Wei Fan’s doubts, Ji Qingyue spoke, "My mentor says this Human-Demon Swallowing Demon Technique is a martial art leaning towards the Demon Dao.

Everyone knows that we, the Human Race, even if we kill fiends, cannot gain much benefit from them, even if we can use demon pills for cultivation, consuming the fiend’s flesh increases cultivation insignificantly compared to fiends feeding on humans.

Wei Fan and Zhou Shaobing both nodded, many Jianghu sects do not resist fiends as the income from killing fiends does not match the risks.

Initial Realm fiends when killed are barely useful, True Realm fiends offer little other than demon pouches, Nascent Soul fiends provide demon pills, bones and hides can craft weapons and armor.

Only Concentrated Spirit fiends have all flesh with value, but not everyone can kill them.

Conversely, fiends devour humans whole and their cultivation increases swiftly, even ordinary people offer good effects for Nascent Soul fiends, who can enhance their aptitude and comprehension by consuming humans with strong talent.

Fiends of the same realm generally live much longer than humans, and it’s often because they consume humans.

Wei Fan’s Horizontal Cultivation of Innate is seen by all fiends as Supreme Medicine for this reason, if a fiend consumes a demon with Horizontal Cultivation of Innate, they can cleanse their roots, increase comprehension, etc.

But for humans, even if consuming mythical creatures like Flood Dragons, at most it only boosts Blood Qi, dreaming of longevity is futile.

If humans could benefit massively from consuming fiends like fiends do humans, there wouldn’t be any need for demon hunters to monitor the world, urging humans to fight fiends, all human warriors would crazily hunt fiends for cultivation.

"It’s said a sage among humans felt this exhaustion and observed fiends consuming humans over long years, finally creating the Human-Demon Swallowing Demon Technique enabling humans to gain abilities from fiends, rapidly boosting cultivation.

The Ning family ancestor accidentally acquired this Human-Demon Swallowing Demon Technique, through endless slaying and devouring fiends, expanding his origin, quickly becoming a fearsome Martial King powerhouse."

Wei Fan’s face showed surprise, no wonder it’s called Human-Demon Swallowing Demon Technique, actually by human standards of Demon Dao martial arts, this technique is counted as Demon Dao martial arts.

From the start, Demon Dao martial arts were considered as mimicry of fiends’ abilities, thus categorized as Demon Dao martial arts.

Though Human-Demon Swallowing Demon Technique devours fiends, categorizing it as Demon Dao martial arts isn’t incorrect, it might even enable cultivation via consuming humans.

Claimed as sage’s creation, who knows if it was actually a sage so many years ago.

However, this martial art wasn’t deemed Demon Dao martial arts by demon hunters, otherwise, the Ning family’s ancestor would’ve been hunted, thus regarded as an anomaly among Demon Dao martial arts.

"So where is the Ning family?"

Finding nothing in Cyan Wood Hall, Wei Fan planned to visit the Ning family first.

"Outside the city, I’ll lead the two gentlemen there!"

Zhou Shaobing led the way, "You said many people in Cyan Wood Hall had a fiend aura, reminded me of something.
