Chapter 1167: Chapter 1167: The Evil Sect’s Style!

Ning Fan seemed to sense something, squinted his eyes, and simply waited at the outskirts of the thunder sea, allowing those two fierce Immortal Kings to approach nearby.

The appearances of these two Immortal Kings were extremely bizarre. Although they maintained human form, they did not look like Humans at all, rather more like demons. Their entire bodies were composed of pure lightning power, without a trace of flesh and blood, extremely strange.

Even more surprising to Ning Fan was that he actually felt a very thin aura of ancient demons from these two Immortal Kings.

Ancient demons indeed!

The bloodline of these two Thunder Demon Immortal Kings was so thin that they could hardly cultivate the exclusive demon spiritual qi of ancient demons. The aura of ancient demons they possessed was not cultivated but passed down through generations by their ancestors.

"Die!"

Without giving Ning Fan the opportunity to speak, one of the Thunder Demons, upon getting close, immediately unleashed powerful divine skills, summoning a massive lightning diagram and engulfing Ning Fan within it.

"The True Lightning Clan indeed produces ants. This child, clearly an Immortal King, was taken down by my one move. Weak, too weak!" The Thunder Demon who captured Ning Fan with one move snorted disdainfully.

But as soon as he finished speaking, his face suddenly turned white, and he spat out blood. At the same time, the lightning diagram that captured Ning Fan burst from within with a bang, and Ning Fan emerged unscathed.

"Not the Tai Su Lightning Diagram, resembling in form but lacking substance..." Ning Fan muttered to himself. He was captured within the enemy’s lightning diagram merely on purpose, to examine its structure from within, nothing more.

To him, escaping the confinement of an Immortal King’s lightning diagram was too easy, not worth boasting about, nor was there any danger.

But in the eyes of the two Thunder Demon Immortal Kings, it was terrifying as if they had seen a ghost.

"Immortal King Grand Completion! This person is definitely an old monster of Grand Completion Immortal King! How else could he escape from the inside of a lightning diagram?"

"This person is beyond our capabilities to defeat! Quickly, flee!"

In the previous moment, the two Thunder Demons were extremely arrogant, but in the next, they were scared to their wits by Ning Fan and started to flee.

Sadly, thinking of escape now was already too late.

With a cold glint in his eyes, Ning Fan seemed to have thought of something and suppressed his killing intent.

According to his usual way of doing things, if someone came to kill at his doorstep, he would definitely not spare them.

But he just arrived at the True Thunder World, completely unfamiliar with the affairs here, and unsure if these two Thunder Demons were related to the Lightning Emperor Tai Su, worried about a wrongful kill.

With this thought, Ning Fan changed his killing move, casually throwing out two bolts of lightning, binding the two demons like dumplings and bringing them back.

He didn’t even use the Heaven Sealing Art.

Merely utilizing the power of traces of lightning to change forms, transforming into ropes, was enough to bind the two demons into submission.

Because Ning Fan’s mana far exceeded that of the two Thunder Demons?

"What level of mana is this! The casually thrown lightning can easily subdue us!"

"Quasi-Saint! From his mana, this person is undoubtedly a Quasi-Saint! But if he’s truly a Quasi-Saint, why is the aura of Grand Completion so thin on him? Moreover, I’ve never heard of a Quasi-Saint existing among the slave True Lightning Clan, there isn’t even an Immortal Emperor, the strongest are only three Immortal Kings Grand Completion. Could it be that this person is not from the True Lightning Clan, but an outsider from the Surface World! No, this matter must be reported to the Twelve Thunder Lords!"

The two Thunder Demons were nearly scared silly by Ning Fan’s display of vast mana, instinctively ignoring Ning Fan’s Immortal King Realm and mistaking him for a Quasi-Saint disguising his cultivation level, desperately trying to escape and report the matter to the Twelve Thunder Lords.

Unfortunately, all struggles were in vain; before absolute power, even escape was impossible for them.

Ning Fan slightly squinted his eyes, always feeling that the information within the words of these two Thunder Demons was somewhat extensive...

The aura of Grand Completion is thin.

Immortal King Grand Completion.

Surface World.

Twelve Thunder Lords.

What do these all mean?

The True Lightning Clan as slaves.

There are only three Immortal Kings in Grand Completion.

The clansmen of Lightning Emperor Tai Su seem to be living quite poorly in the True Lightning World.

Reverse Spirit Technique, Soul Search!

Ning Fan used the Reverse Spirit Technique, which causes less damage, to read the memories of the two demons.

This search was crucial.

He had completely decided not to show any mercy to the two demons.

It turns out that these two demons are not only not clansmen of Lightning Emperor Tai Su, but are actually the number one enemies of the True Lightning Clan, the existence most hated by them!

With this revelation, how could Ning Fan possibly spare the lives of these two demons? He casually threw out two Calamity Flashes and blasted the two demons into dust.

To deal with such Immortal Kings, Ning Fan didn’t even need to use multiple Calamity Flashes...

The only thing that left Ning Fan speechless was that after exterminating the two Thunder Demons, faint bloodlight emitted from his body, carrying an aura of curse and tracking, which Ning Fan disliked.

According to the memories of the two demons, in this True Lightning World, if a lower slave dares to kill [Feng Clan] lightning cultivators, their body will be covered in [Judgment Bloodlight].

Judgment Bloodlight cannot be erased with mana; only special means can remove it. Those carrying Judgment Bloodlight will be tracked wherever they go in the True Lightning World and hunted endlessly by Feng Clan lightning cultivators. Judgment Bloodlight will consume a cultivator’s qi and blood, leading them to gradually wither and die. However, with the massive amount of qi and blood that Ning Fan cultivated from consuming half of Blood God Geng Wu, this degree of Judgment Bloodlight cannot cause him any substantial harm.

The time it takes for Judgment Bloodlight to devour one unit of his qi and blood is enough for his body to naturally recover hundreds or thousands of units of qi and blood. Such minor curses do not concern him...

Ning Fan tried and discovered that, with normal means, the Judgment Bloodlight on his body indeed couldn’t be removed, so he abandoned the effort. Once he reached the land of the True Lightning Clan, he would find a way to remove the Judgment Bloodlight after all.

In any case, according to his perception, no one in this realm can threaten his life. Therefore, even if a powerful adversary pursues him, he remains unafraid.

"Those two Thunder Demons were Feng Clan cultivators. According to the memory of the two demons, there are three hierarchical levels in this True Lightning World, strict in ranking. Upper-class cultivators are the Feng Clan lightning masters, the rulers of the True Lightning World and influential figures, able to act with impunity here, even kill mid-level and lower-level cultivators carefree without consequences; mid-level cultivators are subordinate tribes to upper-class cultivators; and at the very bottom are the clansmen of Lightning Emperor Tai Su—True Lightning Clan cultivators, merely slaves in this realm, leading very harsh lives..."

"I am currently at the area of the second layer of seal in the True Lightning World. The entire True Lightning World is blocked by two layers of seals: the inner seal, laid by Purple Dou Immortal Sovereign, meant to trap and end the True Lightning Clan, preventing them from taking revenge on the descendants of Purple Dou; the outer seal, laid by Lightning Emperor Tai Su, serving to prevent outsiders from accidentally discovering the whereabouts of the True Lightning Clan, it’s a half-blocking, half-concealing seal... I possess the Tai Su Lightning Star awarded by Lightning Emperor Tai Su, which, in a way, makes me a half-True Lightning Clan member, so the outer seal does not restrict my entry... As for those two Thunder Demons, they can freely enter and exit the outer seal because of their noble status, exempt from harm by the seal..."

Ning Fan looked at the vast sea of lightning before him, mused for a moment, then plunged into it headlong. No sooner did he step into the outer seal than hundreds and thousands of illusory lightning diagrams transformed into reality, attempting to strike him with countless thunders.

However, once Ning Fan displayed the Tai Su Lightning Star, the torrent of attacking thunders from the outer seal instantly dissipated, allowing Ning Fan entrance to the location of the inner seal.

"The inner seal was laid by Purple Dou Immortal Sovereign personally; even Ancient Great Cultivators cannot freely pass without permission from Purple Dou Immortal Sovereign. As for those two Thunder Demons, they can penetrate this seal because Purple Dou Immortal Sovereign granted them this privilege; whereas I, having learned a trace of the power of reincarnation from Purple Dou Immortal Sovereign, seem to possess some privileges too..."

Ning Fan experimented by wrapping his body in purple-gold reincarnation atmosphere, and indeed, as he passed through the inner seal, not a single obstacle remained.

The moment he crossed through the inner seal, Ning Fan felt his body lighten, beginning to fall downward.

What appeared before his eyes was an unfamiliar continent, where the heavenly spiritual energy is predominantly thunder, a perfect place to nurture lightning cultivators. As Ning Fan fell from the sky, his spirit sense spread like rain over the continent, gradually becoming thoroughly familiar with the distribution of its layout.

To the west of the continent lies the Feng Clan’s territory, where only upper-class cultivators may reside; these people occupy almost ninety percent of the spiritual veins on this continent.

To the east of the continent is the mixed residence of mid-level cultivators; these are all footmen to Feng Clan lightning cultivators and they occupy the remaining ten percent of spiritual veins.

In a corner of the northeast of the continent is a small bitter land designated for the True Lightning Clan. Here, the True Lightning Clan is the most debased existence; the place they inhabit is spiritually barren, making cultivation difficult.

The place Ning Fan aims to go is precisely that corner of a bitter land. Setting his direction, his silhouette wavered mid-air, and he disappeared instantly.

Shortly after he departed, several Feng Clan Immortal Venerables and Immortal Kings arrived stern-faced at the spot.

"Can you identify who it was?" One Feng Clan Immortal King asked his companion.

"Difficult, very difficult. This person’s divine power is eerie; Judgment Bloodlight surprisingly cannot perceive this person’s cultivation base, appearance, or lineage. It’s hard to determine whether this person is a mid-level cultivator or a lower-class slave. The only certainty is that Feng Bao and Feng Ju’s deaths are undeniably linked to this person! This person undoubtedly possesses the aura of Judgment Bloodlight! From the direction, it looks like after killing, this person likely fled towards the [Feed Dao Mountain]..." A Feng Clan Immortal Venerable replied.

"Feed Dao Mountain, that is land belonging to the lower-class slaves. Indeed, this person is highly suspect of being a lower-class slave."

Several Feng Clan powerhouses suddenly wore stern expressions and chased relentlessly in the direction Ning Fan departed.

Unfortunately, with their speed, attempting to catch Ning Fan is purely delusional.

A stick of incense later, these Feng Clan powerhouses advanced only one-thousandth of the way towards Feed Dao Mountain.

Meanwhile, Ning Fan had already arrived at the foot of Feed Dao Mountain.

The sight before him was an endless snowfield, where spiritual energy was scarce and survival conditions were harsh. Yet, only at the center of the snowfield stood the sole snow mountain, possessing a not-so-weak spirit aura, suitable for cultivation.

This was precisely the most important place for the True Thunder Clan—Feed Dao Mountain!

The entire True Thunder Clan had only three Immortal Kings, all residing on this Feed Dao Mountain.

Ning Fan had promised Lightning Emperor Tai Su two things: one, to remove the Immortal Emperor Seal and save the True Thunder Clan; two, to find a certain person and deliver a dan recipe to her.

The second task was evidently easier than the first; therefore, Ning Fan intended to first find the senior named Fei Feng and deliver the dan recipe to her.

According to Ning Fan’s perception, the senior named Fei Feng was currently on Feed Dao Mountain and was one of the three Immortal Kings of the True Thunder Clan.

With three Immortal Kings, logically, the overall strength of the True Thunder Clan should be quite decent, considered a top-tier force even in Eastern Heaven.

However, what puzzled Ning Fan was the proportion of strong cultivators in the True Thunder Clan.

The entire True Thunder Clan had over four hundred thousand clan members, most of whom only had Vein Opening or Harmonious Spirit cultivations; those above the Divine Transformation Realm were seldom seen.

No one at the Void Refinement realm.

No one at the Void Fragmentation realm.

No Fate Immortals.

No one reaching Enlightenment.

No one at the Shedding Void Stage.

Eleven at the mumbling stage.

Nine Eternal Immortal Venerables.

Three Immortal Kings.

This strange composition of proportions seemed as if a large cultivation gap existed within the True Thunder Clan, creating a void from Void Refinement to Shedding Void Stage, which was highly abnormal...

Even the memories of two Thunder Demons did not mention the reason for this; it seemed that the mystery behind the absence of strong cultivators in the True Thunder Clan wasn’t known even to those two demons, being a secret not passed on within the clan.

Ning Fan was never one to indulge in rampant curiosity; instinctively sensing something amiss, he naturally refrained from probing into the secrets of the True Thunder Clan, avoiding offending the clan’s taboos.

"The Judgment Bloodlight on me, though harmless, is a nuisance; while I do not fear this object, should ordinary clan members of the True Thunder Clan see it, they might panic. According to the Thunder Demons’ memories, the True Thunder Clan has been enslaved for ten billion years, and they inherently fear anyone breaking the law, strictly prohibiting any clan member from provoking mid-tier or higher cultivators..."

For now, Ning Fan couldn’t remove the Judgment Bloodlight, but that didn’t mean he couldn’t conceal it. As the Demon Light flashed in his left eye, Ning Fan activated the powers of Illusory Art, making the Judgment Bloodlight around him disappear instantly, perfectly veiled by illusion.

At least ordinary people couldn’t see it.

As for whether the pursuers from the Feng Clan could still track him under the cover of Illusory Art, that was not something Ning Fan was concerned about.

Upon further thought, he decided to hide even the aura of an Immortal King to prevent the True Thunder Clan, which only had three Immortal Kings, from being alarmed by his Immortal King Realm.

At the foot of Feed Dao Mountain, villages and towns were built in clusters. The True Thunder Clan had lived here for ten billion years, accustomed to the bitter cold and the perpetual snow.

Ning Fan made his way to the foot of Feed Dao Mountain, where most of the True Thunder Clan cultivators were very timid. Seeing Ning Fan as a stranger, they mostly hurried home and locked their doors.

But if Ning Fan were to proactively stop someone for inquiries, the other party would respond with utmost respect, not daring to anger Ning Fan in the slightest.

Many clan members of the True Thunder Clan had hunched backs, a residual effect of years spent bowing in respect to others.

Occasionally along the way, Ning Fan would see some mid-tier cultivators wandering, enjoying the snow, and comprehending the Dao in the territory of the True Thunder Clan.

When facing these people, the True Thunder Clan generally showed a great deal of fear, displaying the same reverence as they did towards Ning Fan.

"These people mistake me for a mid-tier cultivator, hence why they fear me..." Ning Fan sighed.

Subservience.

In the blood and bones of these True Thunder Clan members, Ning Fan saw this pitiful trait, a deeply entrenched mindset, impossible to change after ten billion years of oppression.

Ning Fan could imagine that the True Thunder Clan, which led the Purple Dou Immortal Sovereign to go to great lengths to seal, must have been a fearsome force in the Real Realms before the establishment of the Zi Dou Immortal Domain. Otherwise, how could it have made the Purple Dou Immortal Sovereign so fearful? After all, even the descendants of the Northern Dipper weren’t sealed; only the profoundly deep-rooted Ziwei Descendants were.

The strength of the Ziwei Descendants shocked Ning Fan. Without Niu Manshan’s help, he might not have survived at the hands of Blood God Geng Wu.

The True Thunder Clan, sharing the same fate as the Ziwei Descendants, was sealed but left with only three Immortal Kings, reduced to ingrained servility. One couldn’t help but sigh.

Had Ning Fan traveled to any Immortal King sect in the Eastern Heaven as a stranger, he would have been thoroughly scrutinized.

However, on Feed Dao Mountain, he received a different kind of preferential treatment.

Though he was an unfamiliar face, he ascended Feed Dao Mountain without any True Thunder Clan members daring to stop him. To them, Ning Fan, being a stranger, was either a mid-level Master or an upper-level Feng Clan cultivator. Either way, he was not someone they could afford to offend, much less dare to question and incur Ning Fan’s displeasure.

Their fierce gazes were only reserved for their people, shrinking to timidity in front of Ning Fan.

With a frown, Ning Fan passed through five checkpoints in succession and was only stopped at the sixth.

Those people, with mournful expressions, dared not, yet had to stop him. Beyond this way lay the Void Fragmentation estates of the True Thunder Clan, where eleven masters were in retreat for cultivation, making it impossible to allow outsiders to disturb them.

"Honorable guest, please halt, ahead lies the vital ground of my True Thunder Clan. If you are here for leisure, the fifth checkpoint is your limit. This is the privilege bestowed upon my clan by the Twelve Thunder Lords, and I hope the honorable guest follows this to avoid difficulty for us. As long as you don’t go further, anything else is possible for us to do..."

Several gatekeeper cultivators implored Ning Fan almost beggingly. Among them was an attractive young girl, casting seductive glances as she pleaded with Ning Fan.

Her gaze was so alluring that just avoiding putting her in a difficult position seemed willing to sacrifice her charm to placate Ning Fan’s anger.

This was a girl no longer pure, aged merely fourteen, with Vein Opening cultivations.

A fourteen-year-old girl should have such a life... What kind of life had the girl before him experienced...

Ning Fan did not pry into the girl’s thoughts, nor did he intend to spend a romantic night with her. After all, these were the clansmen of the Lightning Emperor Tai Su, and he did not wish to make things difficult for these people. He halted in the snowstorm, speaking to the pitiful gatekeeper cultivators, "I came here not for snow-viewing or amusement, but for a meeting with Senior Feifeng. Since you all dislike the idea of me ascending, I’ll wait here for a while. Please relay my request for Senior Feifeng to come and meet me..."

Upon hearing that Ning Fan came seeking Immortal King Feifeng, the gatekeeper cultivators immediately became angry, but their expressions were deemed extremely disrespectful, quickly changing to a servile smile, "Honorable guest, please wait a moment, I will relay your message. However, it is early in the day; yesterday Feifeng, the honorable, lost too much blood and should still be resting. Please come to collect blood in the evening, giving more recovery time to Feifeng..."

Lost too much blood?

Collect blood?

Ning Fan frowned slightly; of course, he noticed the changes in the gatekeeper cultivators’ expressions. That brief moment of anger was no disguise.

"It seems these people misunderstand something... collecting blood... the life of Senior Feifeng seemed not good either..." Ning Fan speculated quietly.

Throughout the journey to the True Thunder Clan, oddities were abundant. If he didn’t mind stepping over True Thunder Clan taboos, with his skills, he could easily uncover all the secrets, digging three feet into the ground.

He was tempted to use the Mind Reading Technique on the alluring gatekeeper girl, but Ning Fan ultimately restrained himself.

"Very well, I will wait until Senior Feifeng awakens, and come back in the evening,"

Ning Fan curbed all curiosity and descended the mountain. The atmosphere of the True Thunder Clan was silently oppressive, with an air of silent acceptance, displeasing him.

Ning Fan couldn’t help but wonder how the Lightning Emperor Tai Su felt fifty million years ago on Feed Dao Mountain in this snowy world.

He was also deeply curious about the woman Tai Su had remembered till his death, imagining what kind of elegance she must possess.

Contemporaries of the Lightning Emperor Tai Su, who were only of Immortal King cultivation, even with great arts of rejuvenation, must have been withered and aged.

But none of these are issues.

To Ning Fan, a cultivator of the Yin Yang Transformation, a woman’s external beauty was ephemeral; what mattered was the inside, the true heart.

Everyone ages, everyone has a day when their beauty fades; the so-called art of preserving looks merely delays, not prevents.

Ning Fan valued the profound affection between Senior Feifeng and Senior Tai Su, a love steadfast and undying. Compared to this, most worldly relationships seemed shallow.

It was highly probable that Senior Feifeng, so cherished by the Lightning Emperor Tai Su, was devotedly waiting for his return... regrettably, she would wait no more, nor in future days...

Thinking of this, Ning Fan’s heart grew heavy again, struggling to imagine how a woman who had awaited the Lightning Emperor Tai Su for millions of years felt upon knowing her waited for one had perished, what grief she would bear, how tears of age would flow.

Moreover, much of the Lightning Emperor Tai Su’s demise was to save him...

The mountain path was filled with snow, each step Ning Fan took left deep footprints, producing a sizzling sound.

"Perhaps in my heart, there exists such guilt and unwillingness, which is why I agreed to meet Senior Feifeng after evening... If it weren’t for saving me, perhaps the Lightning Emperor Tai Su would have been able to personally see Senior Feifeng before passing away. Some regrets in life cannot be made up for, and this is exactly the reason why I strive to become stronger, unwilling to let the same regret happen to the women I care about..." Ning Fan sighed even more deeply.

Suddenly, the commotion from further down the mountain path interrupted Ning Fan’s contemplation.

It was an old man screaming miserably, being kicked and beaten by three youth dressed in luxurious attire, the snow on the mountain path was stained red with the old man’s blood, alarming to the eyes.

Those three youths were full of nobility and were obviously not from the True Lightning Clan, but rather mid-level cultivators. Even though they bullied people openly in the heartland of the True Lightning Clan, no one dared to stop them.

The incident seemed to have started when the old man slipped on the snow while walking, accidentally spilling a load of manure onto the three youths.

Thus, the three youths wanted to sever one of the old man’s arms as punishment for the humiliation he brought upon them.

Ning Fan frowned slightly.

He was never one to meddle in others’ affairs, but this old man was clearly also a member of the True Lightning Clan. In honor of the Lightning Emperor Tai Su, he couldn’t just sit idly by.

Of course, there were many ways to help: such as secretly summoning a gust of wind to blow the perpetrators away; or using an Illusory Art to make the three youths spare the old man. Ning Fan himself was unafraid of trouble, but he had to consider the True Lightning Clan. It would inevitably cause trouble for the clan if he killed someone here.

The hand hidden within Ning Fan’s sleeve was about to release his Divine Skills from a distance, to remove the three of them. Yet in the next instant, the words uttered by the three offending youths caused Ning Fan’s gaze to shift slightly and then turn cold.

"You old man, don’t you have eyes to see? We are exalted Purple Dou Immortal Cultivators, how dare you splash manure at us! Are you looking for death!"

"No wonder, even a defeated lower tribe like yours by our Purple Dou Immortal Cultivators cannot carry manure properly. What’s the use of that arm! Cut it off!"

"We Purple Dou Immortal Cultivators fear no battle, fear no fight; life and death are all for Purple Dou Immortal! Hahaha! Cutting off the arm is too troublesome, better just kill this old man!"

The words from these three youths were too grating to ignore, bringing an unspeakable displeasure within Ning Fan’s heart!

These phrases were the fierce cries of countless Zidou Martyrs before their deaths, yet uttered by these three in such context, due to such trivial incidents.

As if desecrating.

What dissatisfied him most was that, judging by their aura, those three youths indeed seemed to be descendants of Purple Dou Immortal Cultivators. So when they claimed to be Purple Dou Immortal Cultivators, they weren’t actually wrong. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

But why does it feel unsettling!

Must an Evil Sect continually tolerate others again and again?

No, at most an Evil Sect tolerates only twice!

This was the temporary principle Ning Fan summarized from cultivating the Yin Yang Transformation, trying to restrain his gradually agitated heart. The principle core closely adheres to the demonic path taught by the old monster, never deviating.

"Beating the Lightning Emperor Tai Su’s clansman... counts as once; desecrating the honor of Purple Dou Immortal Cultivators... counts as twice. Just right, twice, not enough..."

Does it mean after tolerating these two times, one must wait till the third to intervene?

Ning Fan rubbed his temple, finally deciding to change his temporary principle of cultivating the demon path because this principle was too troublesome.

[An Evil Sect does not need endless tolerance]

[If necessary, at most tolerate twice]

[When an Evil Sect wants to create trouble, the first two principles are entirely void]

Shing!

Ning Fan appeared openly before the old man, with just a glance causing the three offending youths to break out in cold sweats, feeling an undeniable fear.

He already had a comprehensive plan, deciding how to take the fifth item and complete the Tai Su promise.

The plan was to first rationally cause a great disturbance, then rationally crush all enemies, and finally rationally save the entire True Lightning Clan.

"Within three breaths, sever one arm, roll down the mountain, or die!" Ning Fan said emotionlessly, eyeing the three offending youths.

[Faced with unreasonable people, you just need to be more unreasonable]

Adjusting the temporary principle of cultivating the demon path, add one more!

Three breaths later...

The three youths, terrified by Ning Fan’s evil aura, severed one of their arms themselves, scampering down Feed Dao Mountain.

Ning Fan was too terrifying, such fierce, overbearing people they’d never encountered in the True Lightning World!

They were cowardly; they dare not oppose Ning Fan openly, but that didn’t mean they dared not secretly.

They would go home to seek reinforcements!

Getting beaten without calling upon the elders would just be pointless bullying!

...

"Sigh, this young man... this Senior, thank you for saving the old man, but you’ve gotten yourself into big trouble. Those three have significant backing."

Rescued by Ning Fan, the old man was deeply grateful. He initially intended to call Ning Fan a young man, as the True Lightning Clan generally had low cultivations, many youth-looking were actually the youth themselves, the old man’s juniors.

Yet he wasn’t stupid, quickly realizing that although Ning Fan appeared young, he might really be an old monster, older than him by ten thousand times.

So he changed to calling him Senior.

Ning Fan, almost called young, twitched at the corners of his mouth. His bone age was enough to be the old man’s ancestor a thousand times over...

"Little friend, don’t worry, it’s better if those three bring reinforcements, after all, I need to wait on Feed Dao Mountain until evening." Ning Fan chuckled, comforting the old man.

Precisely because he had to wait until evening, he was quite idle, having ample time to stir trouble.

Ning Fan dismissed the old man, simply crossed his legs in the snowy middle of the mountain waist, waiting for those three youths to bring reinforcements.

Half an hour passed.

The reinforcements arrived!

Three old men, each possessing the cultivation level of Eternal Immortal Venerables!

"Oh? You managed to invite three Eternal Immortal Venerables, apparently these juniors have some skills... I wonder if I defeat these three old ones as well, can they bring out even older ones..."

The three venerated Immortal elders did not bother concealing their aura, flew furiously to Feed Dao Mountain, causing the entire True Lightning Clan to be shaken, except for the Thunder Demon Immortal King Feifeng still in a coma from excessive blood loss.

Countless True Lightning clan members wanted to understand what happened, the renowned Snowy Mountain Three Venerables arriving in anger definitely indicated no small matter!

"Investigate! I want to know the whole story within one incense stick!" Besides Thunder Demon Immortal King Feifeng, the other two True Lightning Clan Immortal Kings’ expressions were grave, giving instructions.

Simultaneously, the Snowy Mountain Three Venerables hovering in the sky above Feed Dao Mountain were consumed by rage, their howls echoing to the heavens.

"Who severed our juniors’ arms! Come out to die within ten breaths, or we will flatten Feed Dao Mountain!"

Upon hearing this, the two True Lightning Immortal Kings were infuriated. They needed no further investigation! The Snowy Mountain Three Venerables’ juniors had their arms severed, no wonder they were angry! This was not a trivial matter! As a cultivator, having an arm severed could be remedied, but this act equated to slapping the Snowy Mountain Three Venerables in the face!

An arm was a minor matter, but face was major!

Which clansman forgot the True Lightning Clan’s awkward status, daring to provoke the Snowy Mountain Three Venerables, attracting hatred toward the True Lightning Clan!

Do they have a death wish!

"Three Daoist friends, this is a misunderstanding! Please calm down!" The two True Lightning Clan Immortal Kings intended to say.

Unfortunately, they had no chance to speak.

Because Ning Fan spoke first.

"Within three breaths, sever one arm, leave this place, or die!" The exact same words as before! In Ning Fan’s eyes, these three Eternal Immortal Venerables before him were no different from the previous three young dandies, all were mere ants!

Others heard Ning Fan’s voice, not sensing Ning Fan’s pressure.

But that’s because the pressure of these words was entirely focused on the Snowy Mountain Three Venerables.

Ning Fan’s voice seemed like a thunderclap in the ears of the Snowy Mountain Three Venerables, each echo causing them to spurt blood.

The three people could not hide their looks of utter shock, and in the instant of spitting out the third mouthful of blood, they severed one arm and fled in panic.

No choice but to flee!

If they didn’t flee, they would surely die! They never imagined that their descendants would provoke someone as ruthless as Ning Fan! Just one roar and it was unbearable for three Eternal Immortal Venerables, what an earth-shattering cultivation!

But fleeing for nothing wasn’t an option either!

Under Ning Fan’s deliberate suppression, this roar’s power only used the pressure of 5,900 Calamity Mana, which was a kind of misdirection, intended to lure the Snowy Mountain Three Venerables into a trap.

5,900 Calamity Mana is equivalent to a Pinnacle Immortal King.

The Snowy Mountain Three Venerables, on their own, wouldn’t dare to provoke a Pinnacle Immortal King, but they could call for help!

If the old ones get hit and don’t call for the older ones, wouldn’t they have been hit for no reason!

"Who are you, Daoist! Why are you causing trouble in our True Lightning Clan’s Feed Dao Mountain! Have we, the True Lightning Clan, treated you, Daoist, with any negligence!" Two Immortal Kings of the True Lightning Clan immediately found Ning Fan’s location, their faces looking grim as they questioned.

But they dared not question too harshly for fear that Ning Fan might also be a middle-tier master, or possibly a top-tier sealed clan lightning cultivator...

"There was no negligence, just want to pass the time. Rest assured, with me here, the True Lightning Clan will not only not suffer due to today’s events, but on the contrary, I am here to save the True Lightning Clan." Ning Fan replied earnestly.

"You’re lying!" The two True Lightning Clan Immortal Kings complained frantically in their minds, but of course, they dared not say it out loud.

They couldn’t figure out Ning Fan’s background; at any rate, he definitely wasn’t a True Lightning Clan member. In the True Lightning World, as long as you’re not a True Lightning Clan member, you’re either a mid-tier or a top-tier cultivator. Even if Ning Fan were just a mid-tier cultivator, he’s not someone they could afford to offend.

"This person must have been a mortal enemy of the Snow Mountain Three Venerables from the start; he didn’t just randomly decide to stir up trouble but did it intentionally. This is an internal struggle among mid- to upper-tier cultivators! This person is intentionally stirring trouble here to set a trap for the Snowy Mountain Three Venerables; or perhaps, he even intends to bring down the backing behind the Snowy Mountain Three Venerables..." The two Immortal Kings of the True Lightning Clan speculated in secret.

"Daoist, you should be careful. Behind the Snowy Mountain Three Venerables is the Purple Thunder Lord of the top-tier sealed clan lightning cultivators, and he is an Immortal Emperor mighty figure, not someone we Immortal Kings can afford to offend." The two warned Ning Fan with a touch of probing tone.

Finally, the Immortal Emperor is coming?

Ning Fan saw through the probing of the two True Lightning Clan Immortal Kings but didn’t mind it, smiling, "Two Daoists, don’t worry; I’m waiting for their Immortal Emperor."

"Indeed, this person has an even greater backing and doesn’t fear the Purple Thunder Lord at all..." The two True Lightning Clan Immortal Kings seemed to have confirmed something and sighed with relief.

As long as Ning Fan’s background is big enough, no matter how much trouble he stirs up, it will eventually get resolved.

As a result, the two thought with self-satisfaction and put their minds at ease, and even began to feel a little flattery toward Ning Fan. For the humble status of the True Lightning Clan, if they could connect with a powerful figure among the top-tier cultivators, it would be greatly beneficial for the development of the entire clan.

Thus, a strange scene unfolded.

The two True Lightning Clan Immortal Kings and Ning Fan sat cross-legged in the snow, took out a fine Thunder Silverwood small tea table, and brewed Spirit Tea unique to the True Lightning World, graciously entertaining Ning Fan.

The two, in order to please Ning Fan, talked their heads off; no matter what topic Ning Fan brought up, they could chat and laugh with him.

This left Ning Fan a bit speechless; he was here to stir things up, not to chat with people.

Fortunately, his boredom didn’t last long.

After drinking a dozen pots of Spirit Tea, more people finally arrived over Feed Dao Mountain.

Unfortunately, the incoming person was not the Purple Thunder Lord, leaving Ning Fan somewhat disappointed.

These people, it turned out, were chasing down the Judgment Bloodlight, spotting Ning Fan’s whereabouts the moment he stepped onto the True Thunder Continent!

"It’s this man! Although there is Illusory Art to hide it, there’s no doubt the Judgment Bloodlight is on him! He killed Feng Bao and Feng Ju, and now he’s even chatting and laughing with the True Lightning Clan’s Golden Thunder and Wood Thunder Immortal Kings. It turns out the True Lightning Clan is an accomplice!"

Crack!

The two True Lightning Clan Immortal Kings were dumbfounded.

The teacup fell into the snow, and the steaming tea melted the snow in front of them.

Feng Bao, Feng Ju, weren’t they the trusted and beloved generals among the Twelve Thunder Lords of the Feng Clan!

When did the True Lightning Clan conspire with someone to harm these two! We’re terribly wronged!

What exactly has this troublemaker done under the guise of the True Lightning Clan! Killing Feng Bao and Feng Ju, fighting the Snow Mountain Three Venerables, does his background exceed Feng Bao and Feng Ju’s! But why are these patrol cultivators so disrespectful towards him! Something seems off...

"Daoist, what exactly..." Golden Thunder and Wood Thunder were about to ask Ning Fan for confirmation.

Unfortunately, they didn’t have the chance to speak.

For as soon as those patrol cultivators discovered Ning Fan’s location, they attacked Feed Dao Mountain without any intention of showing mercy!

"Courting death!"

Ning Fan’s gaze turned cold, his body slightly blurred, as if it moved and yet didn’t.

Yet, in that instant, those patrol cultivators who shouted to kill were smashed to pieces by Ning Fan’s fist, none of their Demon Souls escaped.

Blood spilled across the sky!

The snow-laden Feed Dao Mountain began to be stained with a red mist, as if countless red plums were blooming on the snow!

"Daring to slay the Feng Clan’s Thunder Cultivators! What is this person’s background! Could he actually be one of the Twelve Thunder Lords!"

Due to their low status, Golden Thunder and Wood Thunder were not qualified to know what the Twelve Thunder Lords of the Feng Clan looked like.

Ning Fan’s unbridled behavior, in their eyes, was entirely due to his status!

Ning Fan’s slaying of several Immortal Venerable and Immortal King, his movement technique was so fast they couldn’t see a trace, all due to his strength!

"This person must have Immortal Emperor cultivation, and among the Immortal Emperors, he is an extremely powerful one, surely one of the lesser in strength among the Twelve Thunder Lords!"

Golden Thunder and Wood Thunder were subdued by Ning Fan’s "status"!

They became more convinced that all Ning Fan’s actions were due to power struggles among the Twelve Thunder Lords!

As such, they were even more enthusiastic about Ning Fan and more eager to connect with him!

As for why the patrol cultivators were disrespectful to Ning Fan, isn’t it simple!

Among the Feng Clan’s Thunder Lords, there are different factions; they’re not on the same side!

The dusk was deepening, and evening approached.

The white-haired Immortal King Feifeng awoke from slumber and immediately sensed a sky-high Evil Qi near Feed Dao Mountain.

Such a scale of Evil Qi could only erupt when an Immortal Venerable or Immortal King had fallen!

Immortal Venerables and Kings have died, and not just one!

Moreover, the dead were not True Lightning Clan cultivators but... Feng Clan Thunder Cultivators! That unique aura of the ancient demons couldn’t be faked!

"Just a nap, and what have these little ones done! Where are Golden Thunder and Wood Thunder!" Immortal King Feifeng anxiously asked.

"The two Immortal Kings are having tea with someone."

"Having tea? What a joke..."

Immortal King Feifeng was about to release her spirit sense to investigate, but just then, an overwhelming aura of an Immortal Emperor descended upon the entirety of Feed Dao Mountain!

"I am Purple Thunder! Who cut off the arms of the Snow Mountain Three Venerables, come out!"

The Purple Thunder Lord arrived!

A Sixth Calamity Great Emperor, a rare existence in the True Lightning World!

His arrival was terrifying beyond compare!

Few knew that the arrival of the Purple Thunder Lord was triggered simply because three unlucky fools bullied a manure-carrying old man...
