It would be unreasonable for the cultivators of the External Endless Sea not to be shocked when even the Peak Nascent Soul Realm experts from the Internal Endless Sea widened their eyes, feeling it hard to believe what they had just heard.
The Son of Heaven of the Zhou Clan, Zhou Qing. This person was famously known for his excellent innate potential as well as his haughty demeanor. No doubt, his techniques were strong. As a cultivator who had yet to attain the Spirit Severing Realm, he had already defeated three Early Spirit Severing Realm experts in total. On the Board of Devils, he was a figure who was in the top 100 experts…
Usually, he was a person who did not even put Early Spirit Severing Realm experts in his eyes. But today, he had a favorable impression of Zhou Ming.
All in all, Zhou Ming’s decision in killing Evil Light was quite worthwhile as he had gained a favorable opinion and respect from the Sword Island and Zhou Clan, establishing a positive relationship with the two influential forces.
Ning Fan received the Thunder Emperor’s Token. This token, however, was not equipped with anything to test him as it was done through the single gaze earlier.
Ning Fan shifted his gaze to the surface of the token, scrutinizing the totem of a lightning beast with silver horns. It looked primitive yet domineering.
After keeping this token, Ning Fan cupped his fists as a gesture of respect towards Zhou Qing while the latter nodded with a smile and returned to his room with Zhou Qi.
“Zhou Qing is really an exceptional personage. He could erase the bitterness of defeat within his heart immediately after the battle and reignited his fighting spirit… He must be a person who climbed up from the bottom and strived to grow from adversity which molded him into a tenacious and resilient man. Thousands of years later, his name might appear on the list of Void Fragmentation Realm experts in the Rain World… But the main reason he tried to befriend me is probably because of the blood lightning of my Lightning Star and only a tiny portion of sincerity… Unless I have the power to resist Venerated Zhou, I must never go to the Zhou Clan. If not, I might get killed and robbed of the blood lightning…”
Finally, Ning Fan’s gaze fixed on Purple Gu Daoist.
“Truth to be told, I have some conflicts with the Demon Sealing Sect. I wonder what Fellow Daoist Purple Gu is going to do about it!”
A hint of gloominess flashed within Purple Gu’s eyes. The next second, he burst into laughter.
“Fellow Daoist must be joking. I have already known about the death of Eagle Crane Elder. A mere Late Nascent Soul Realm cultivator like him truly deserved death the moment he decided to pursue Fellow Daoist. I’ll just forget about it and just treat it as a friendly gesture from the Demon Sealing Sect. However, Fellow Daoist must not harm anyone from my sect. Otherwise…Hehe, Fellow Daoist should be able to understand what’s the consequences for it.”
As Purple Gu finished speaking, he took out a purple token and tossed it towards Ning Fan.
“This is the token from Venerated Demon of the Demon Sealing Sect. With this token, Fellow Daoist will surely be treated with respect when you come to my sect in the future. I sincerely hope that we will be able to meet in my sect one day.”
Ning Fan received the token and studied it using his spirit sense. Immediately, his lips curved into a sneer.
Within the token hid a grey demon seal that is used to track his position… The one who planted this seal must have a cultivation level that was not any weaker than Venerated Giant and Venerated Dong Xu.
It should belong to Venerated Demon himself!
On the surface, this token was a sign of a friendly relationship between Zhou Ming and the Demon Sealing Sect. In actual reality, if Ning Fan keeps this token, Purple Gu would be able to grasp his location and then pursue him to hunt him down.
Evidently, this Purple Gu didn’t really mean what he was saying. He is not actually unconcerned of the death of the Eagle Crane Elder.
I have forced the purple demon seal that he planted on the Eagle Crane Elder into the All-Heaven Relic, causing him to lose track of my location. Therefore, he gave me this token under the façade of a friendly party so that he could have access to my location…
“Purple Gu Taoist. He is rumored to own seventeen-thousand worms which are called Purple Bites. Among the Early Spirit Severing Realm experts, no one would be willing to be his enemy… This person might act friendly on the outside, but deep inside, he harbors the intention to kill me. Perhaps he thought that I have pried into the fragments of the Eagle Crane Elder’s memories and discovered some secrets of the Demon Sealing Sect. Maybe that is why he intends to extinguish my existence. He wants to prevent the leakage of their secrets… However, what he does not know is that I had not managed to undo the power of the purple seal, let alone pry into the secrets of the sect. But I guess even if I give him that explanation, he would not believe me. Hmm. The feud against the Demon Sealing Sect will be difficult to defuse… There is not any sincerity in his act of giving me this token. There is only enmity instead. Unless I possess the power to annihilate the entire Demon Sealing Sect, I must never set foot on the sect’s territory!”
Ning Fan’s expression remained unchanged but he was sneering within his heart. He kept Venerated Demon’s Token and shifted his gaze away from Purple Gu. He never cast another glance at him, not to mention greet him with respect.
Purple Gu’s facial muscles twitched in irritation. Despite the boiling anger within his heart, his expression did not reveal even a hint of rage. He shot Ning Fan another glance and returned to his room.
“A wildly arrogant kid! Just wait for me to call for my men. When the time comes, death will be your only ending!” Purple Gu inwardly swore.
After the defeat of Evil Light from the Black Buddha Sect, three out of the seven venerated forces befriended Ning Fan!
For the cultivators present, all of them were dumbstruck.
A cultivator who had yet to attain Spirit Severing Realm was capable of eliminating Evil Light, a true-blue Spirit Severing Realm expert. Apart from that, he had even made the three venerated forces of the Internal Endless Sea to be on friendly terms with him.
This Ning Fan is truly fierce! If he attains the Spirit Severing Realm, he surely would be able to put up a fight against Mid Spirit Severing Realm experts, wouldn’t he?
Furthermore, only a minority of experts knew that Xu Rushan was actually backed by the Giant Devil Sect. His action of befriending Ning Fan implied that the Giant Devil Sect also sided with Ning Fan.
That is to say, among the Seven Venerated in the Internal Endless Sea, four of them had associated themselves with Ning Fan!
