“Actually, I do have urgent matters to attend to and needed to leave immediately. Can we request to activate the formation right away?” Ning Fan shook his head faintly. Of course he would be willing to wait for a little longer for safety purposes if there was no incoming threat. Now, all he wanted was to waste no more time waiting and stay away from Great Jin as far as possible.
“Hmmph. Fellow Daoist Zhou. Why are you being so stubborn? It’s not only you who have urgent matters to settle since we do too. However, you can’t place everyone’s life at risk for your own matters.” Yang Zhu said in a dissatisfied tone.
Chen Xiu instantly let out a dry cough to stop Yang Zhu from speaking.
To him, Ning Fan was a cultivator who was going to achieve Late Nascent Soul Realm. He must never offend him.
“Okay. I have an idea. What about we enter the formation and teach the juniors the steps to examine faster. Then, we might be able to save some time. Do you agree with me?”
Chen Xiu chuckled as he suggested his idea. Ning Fan shook his head helplessly.
What he says is quite reasonable… If something’s wrong with the formation, we will die in the Void Realm and no one would be able to save us.
“I agree. I guess I have no other options but to wait a little while more…”
All of them were led to different parts of the formation by the cultivators who were guarding it.
This enormous formation was divided into dozens of areas which teleports the cultivators in different destinations. There were just 3 people waiting in the area which were headed to the Endless Sea.
Ning Fan sat down with crossed legs on the floor without letting his guard down. He quickly took out an [1]and performed pyromancy. It showed greatly ominous signs.
His expression paled. He sensed that the danger was getting more and more intense. His instincts were telling him that staying in Great Jin for a little longer was absolutely a wrong decision. He must travel across millions of li away to avoid the incoming threat.
“Is something bad going to happen?” Jing Zhuo narrowed his eyes as if he saw through Ning Fan’s thoughts.
“Yes. I have a bad feeling.”
“Why don’t we just make a move to make things faster?” Yin Suqiu understood Ning Fan’s feelings by judging his expression. She knew Ning Fan must have seen something coming that she could not.
“You are right…”
Ning Fan nodded his head gently and indifferently asked one of the guards.
“How much longer do we need to wait for the examination to be finished?”
“Senior, we’ll need another 2 hours…”
“What?! It’s too long. We can’t wait any longer. Activate the formation. Now!”
“This…” The guard was baffled by Ning Fan’s demand. It was because if something really goes wrong with the formation, they could not bear the responsibility.
As for Yang Zhu, he spoke to Ning Fan discontentedly.
“Fellow Daoist Zhou Ming, why do you insist on doing something that is out of line with established procedures? Don’t tell me that you, a Nascent Soul Realm expert, don’t have the patience to wait for another 2 hours.”
“Aiya. Fellow Daoist Yang. Be careful with your words…” Chen Xiu quickly tried to stop the conversation from getting any worse. He helplessly shook his head towards Yang Zhu. Anyone would know what he was trying to tell Yang Zhu judging by his body language.
“Are you courting death, Fellow Daoist Yang? That Zhou Ming is a ferocious man who could even eliminate a Mid Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. Are you trying to offend him?”
Yang Zhu shot him a loathsome expression. He was always proud and have been revered in his own country. So it would be very hard for him to show humility in front of Ning Fan.
After taking Chen Xiu’s advice, he heaved a deep sigh as though he was still unsatisfied with Ning Fan and nodded.
“Fine! Activate the formation now. Are you satisfied, Fellow Daoist Zhou Ming?”
The guards no longer dared to disobey them as Yang Zhu and Chen Xiu agreed to activate the formation.
They went through a brief check and opened the portals for teleportation.
Strands of power from the Void Realm encircled each of the cultivators in the formation and the atmosphere around them rippled violently.
Ning Fan shut his eyes slowly and heaved a sigh of relief.
Finally… Finally, I can go to the Endless Sea! I want to achieve Core Formation, Nascent Formation, Spirit Severing Realm, Void Refinement Realm and lastly, Void Fragmentation Realm! I must obtain more power as fast as possible!
However, Yin Suqiu was a little blue.
After we reach the Endless Sea, are we going to drift apart from each other… Will we even meet each other again in the future?
This journey was truly unforgettable.
Do I still have the chance to play the flute for him?
Just ignore the hidden feelings. We should leave as early as possible since grave danger is fast approaching towards Great Jin.
The heaven and earth trembled as the portals shone with rainbow-colored lights. After a period of a few more breaths, each of them would reach their destinations safely.
Yang Zhu’s face was gloomy as he was still displeased that he yielded to Ning Fan earlier.
Just as the portals were ready, a bloody stench of demonic qi enveloped Jiang Zhou City. A cold and malicious laughter reverberated in the entire city.
“The person who killed my partner! There’s no escape for you! Finally, I’ve caught up with you!”
That voice made every cultivator’s blood ran cold in the city.
Both Chen Xiu and Yang Zhu underneath the ground lost their composure when they sensed the sudden presence of the demon!
“Spirit Severing Realm demon?! It’s impossible! He should be in the Dragon Vision Pond. Why would he come here?!”
Ning Fan’s eyes also widened with fright.
He never expected that he still could not keep the Demon General away even though he had been very careful in the entire journey!
It’s not wrong. This bloody qi really does belong to the Demon General! It’s similar to the virtual shadow of the man with bloody scales when I captured the female demons. My instinct was accurate after all. It was really him that brought me the feeling of danger!
“Demonic Technique, Sea of Blood!”
When his merciless tone dropped, the entire city became shrouded by a blood light. No one could view what was happening inside the city other than hearing loud wails and cries from cultivators. Each of them perished as mists of blood!
Within seconds, the city turned into ruins. The ground that separated the underground formation and the surface crumbled to the power of the bloody light. All of them in the portals were now exposed!
Amidst the sky, a red-haired man with bloody scales all over his body gazed upon the sea of blood below his feet!
He carried an air of indifference and an irresistible might of a Spirit Severing Realm demon!
Apparently, I was a little late. That human is already inside the formation while the portals have already opened. They will vanish in just a few more breaths.
Humans are cunning… After I succeeded in my Dragon Transformation, I quietly left Dragon Vision Pond and sneaked into the lands of humans to find him. It’s really beyond my expectations that he would escape from my grasp by using the short-ranged transportation portals in every city. To be frank, I’ve become a little exhausted in trying to catch him.
If I enter the formation, I might die under the power of the Void Realm. The only option is to kill him using demonic techniques before he successfully teleports away.
