Ten days later, news that shocked the entire Rain World spread everywhere.
Every member of Mo Xiu’s family residing in the Middle State received a severe punishment from the Rain Sovereign.
The Rain Sovereign declared that Mo Xiu deserved death since he was the one who attacked Ning Fan first.
He even announced that if Ning Fan breaks through to the Void Refinement Realm one day, he would then confer a title of nobility on him and even grant him the position of Palace Lord of the Scarlet Heaven Palace.
It went contrary to everyone’s expectations. No one expected for Ning Fan to actually be so important in the Rain Sovereign’s eyes that he did not need to bear any responsibility at all for killing a palace lord!
No one could have guessed that Ning Fan would be taking Mo Xiu’s place after killing him.
As long as Ning Fan breaks through to the Void Refinement Realm, he would become the palace lord of the Scarlet Heaven Palace in the future!
This literally meant that not only was Ning Fan guiltless after killing Mo Xiu, but he was also deemed to have done a meritorious act.
It’s against the natural order! What abnormality was this?! A killer who violated the law was actually rewarded!
All of a sudden, countless old monsters began to curry favor with Ning Fan as they now know the degree of favor he enjoys from the Rain Palace.
Ning Fan was doubtlessly too lazy to deal with these vile people who only fawned upon the rich and powerful. With his strength, there was no need for him to be friendly with these people at all.
For ten whole days, he stayed inside the guest house, recalling all the scenes he had of pill refinement during the Pill Ceremony. He had benefited a lot from these memories.
Ju Qing told him that he would officially be concocting the pill for Feng Xueyan. The actual day was set for half a month later. Before that, Ju Qing would arrange a meeting between Ning Fan and several old ancestors of the Giant Devil Clan.
The reason for the meeting was due to the old ancestors hearing of Ning Fan’s unprecedented pill refinement mastery and they now wanted to request his help to concoct some pills for them.
They claimed that any kind of demand would be negotiable if Ning Fan promised to help them.
"Any kind of demand..."
Ning Fan clearly knew that the ’several old ancestors’ Ju Qing mentioned referred to the Eight Ancestors.
Since the Eight Ancestors were asking him for some pills, their attitude would certainly be filled with respect. However, Ning Fan had zero good feelings towards them.
He stood at Feng Xueyan’s side. Hence, it was already fated that he was going to be an enemy of the Eight Ancestors.
Even so, it wasn’t impossible for him to help the Eight Ancestors concoct some pills.
Since I can ask for anything I want, I wonder if I can extract the devil qi of the slate using this opportunity by asking for a chance to take a look at the devil statue slate.
As for the pill that I will have to concoct for them... I wonder if I can directly kill the Eight Ancestors with poison by adding something into those pills...
Recently, Ning Fan did not see Feng Xueyan and it made him rather worried.
However, during the days when she was not around, he was able to spend some restful intimate nights with Yue Lingkong and Xu Qiuling respectively.
Ning Fan still did not lay a single finger on Fen Chi. He would never force this lady to act against her will.
Ironically, he did not know that Fen Chi was not unwilling to do intimate acts with Ning Fan at all. But her courage to offer herself to him diminished after she saw how Ning Fan doted on Yue Lingkong and Xu Qiuling.
Everything seemed to have gone smoothly but Ning Fan did not feel relaxed.
It was because Ju Qing was going to bring him to meet the Eight Ancestors today.
The location of the meeting was naturally at the broken chiliocosm where the Eight Ancestors reside.
Ning Fan was not worried about his safety in recklessly entering someone else’s territory where eight powerful experts would be waiting for him.
He had the stored attack in his Stele of Sun and Moon. If he were to be driven to a desperate situation, he would use that attack which carried the power to instantly kill a Void Pierce Stage old ancestor.
Even if he could not find the entrance of Ju Mo’s Broken World, it would still be very easy for him to escape from there once he enters. He could directly make an exit using his Wind Mist Technique.
With the Wind Mist Technique and the Heaven Deceiving Cloak, Ning Fan could basically go anywhere beneath the heavens unhindered. No cultivator with a cultivation realm below the Void Fragmentation Realm could harm him.
Even if the true body of King Lan Ling comes to find him in the future, he would still not be afraid of him!
Yun Niansu had given Ning Fan a piece of information which said that the Rain Sovereign had sent King Lan Ling’s second primordial spirit to find him with the intention of "teaching him a lesson".
Ning Fan did not pay attention to this matter at all. What was the second primordial spirit of King Lan Ling?
Before this, he had been focusing on the Pill Ceremony. Therefore, he was too lazy to involve himself with him.
If this man was really stubborn enough to come and give Ning Fan a ’lesson’, he would not mind using the stored attack in his Stele of Sun and Moon to instantly eliminate his second primordial spirit.
Not to mention, Ning Fan did not think King Lan Ling would come after him.
King Lan Ling was already grievously injured by the Eight Ancestors. Perhaps he was now treating his wounds somewhere.
He had been committed to collecting the devil slates. Since he failed to get the slate of the Giant Devil Clan, he would surely proceed with his plan by seizing the slates of the two other clans.
Since he was fully absorbed in seizing the devil slates, how would he still have any interest to deal with Ning Fan?
That being so, Ning Fan was not worried about King Lan Ling appearing at his doorstep. Currently, he was much more concerned about Feng Xueyan.
*Door knocking*
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door of his room. With a flick of his sleeve, Ning Fan produced a gust of air which opened the door. A haggard, white-haired young lady stood outside. Anxiety was plastered over her face. She was none other than the young lady whom Ning Fan had not met for some time – Feng Xueyan.
"Brother-in-law, you must not go meet my grandfather. T-They want to eat you!" Feng Xueyan’s lips moved but no sound would come out from her mouth.
She was overly worried. She had even forgotten to greet Ning Fan with the usual politeness. She just begged Ning Fan not to go to the meeting like a small child.
"Brother-in-law, please don’t go. They are all bad guys..."
"Silly girl..."
Ning Fan looked at Feng Xueyan as if he was looking at his own younger sister. His eyes were filled with sympathy. He gently patted her white hair to comfort her.
