Ning Fan took the slate from Xuan Yi’s hands and immediately activated his Mo Luo’s blood. Using the power of the ’blood’, he extracted the devil qi within the slate and it went into his body.
Just as it entered his body, it instantly went into the devil marks on his back, beginning to fuse with the devil marks.
All of a sudden, the devil qi of the slate waned. The frequency of change of the texts also began to slow down. However, no one could notice the changes that were happening to the slate from the surface.
No one had thought that Ning Fan would actually ’seize’ the slate in front of King Lan Ling. It was similar to giving King Lan Ling a slap on his face right in front of him.
What everyone noticed was the moment Ning Fan took the slate to have a look, King Lan Ling’s eyes flashed with killing intent.
"What a fool! King Lan Ling wanted that item for sure but Zhou Ming grabbed it for himself. He literally is seeking his own death!" Lu Jiefen sneered inwardly. He knew that Ning Fan had a gut so huge that it could envelop the sky but he did not expect that the latter would actually be bold enough to compete for the treasure with King Lan Ling.
Lu Jiefen also wanted to get the slate but he did not have the courage to seize it in front of King Lan Ling because he knew that it was equivalent to digging his own grave.
"Why would Little Cucumber be so reckless?! Even though he always does things without following rules and tradition, he still has a sense of propriety. Even though he’s aware that King Lan Ling wanted this item no matter what, he still went to grab this hot potato. There must be some kind of underlying meaning in his actions... No matter what, even if he offends King Lan Ling, I will still help him. I shall get ready to open the moon portals to flee!" Yue Lingkong secretly made some hand seals and was ready to summon the moon portals anytime it’s necessary to bring Ning Fan and the female corpse away.
Everyone was speculating that Ning Fan was seriously provoking King Lan Ling by taking the slate boldly and the latter might directly eliminate him right there.
However, no one expected that King Lan Ling still did not make a move to kill him even though his eyes were filled with intense killing intent. He was actually holding back his killing intent.
There were times when King Lan Ling was actually not bold enough to kill. As a matter of fact, Ning Fan was someone that the Rain Palace had repeatedly urged King Lan Ling not to hurt!
"So you are the newly-promoted revered elder of the Great Heaven Palace, Zhou Ming, aren’t you? You have the Indestructible Fire Body and are still useful to the Rain Sovereign. Even I was urged by the Rain Sovereign in person not to lay a finger on you at the moment. However, the fact that I am prohibited from killing you doesn’t mean that I can’t kill your woman or your loved ones. If you provoke me, your woman will pay for your foolishness. Hand over that slate and get lost!"
Every word that King Lan Ling said was filled with threat. In his eyes, Ning Fan was just an ant. The reason why he could not kill Ning Fan was just because the latter’s Indestructible Fire Body was of great use to the Rain Sovereign.
After all, King Lan Ling was an expert of the same generation as Yun Tianjue. Today, he was already at the Half-Step Void Fragmentation Realm and he had hopes of attaining the Void Fragmentation Realm in his current lifetime.
He was a supreme expert whereas Ning Fan was just a lowly weakling.
The words that King Lan Ling uttered caused Ning Fan to clench his fists. His eyes turned icy cold.
What he could not tolerate the most was someone using his women to threaten him.
The reason why he spent a great deal of effort to obtain the protection of the Rain Palace and the Zhou Clan was to make sure no one dared to touch his women.
Unfortunately, be it the intimidating reputation of the Rain World or the ferocious prestige of the Zhou Clan, none of them was enough to cause experts at King Lan Ling’s level to fear him.
In the eyes of Half-Step Void Fragmentation Realm old monsters, Ning Fan was still just an ant. However, he had a larger head than other ants.
He had to recognize his own strength clearly. He had to get stronger!
Ning Fan had already activated his killing intent within his heart. At the next moment, however, he dismissed that intention. His expression remained unchanged as he planned for something.
The plan to trick Lan Ling Sect was not going to change.
Frankly, with Ning Fan’s current strength, it was far from enough to battle against King Lan Ling. However, tricking someone had no direct relation to one’s strength.
Today, if he doesn’t make the Lan Ling Sect, the Ghost Eye Clan and the Mist Horn Clan fight among themselves and cause all of them to suffer losses, he would be considered to have cultivated the devil path in vain!
Ning Fan shifted his gaze to a place in the distance. From that direction, he sensed two traces of vigorous qi rushing to his location.
They were two Void Inquiry Stage old monsters! Judging from their qi, one of them was from the Ghost Eye Clan while the other one was from the Mist Horn Clan. Clearly, they had certainly come for the slate!
Lan Ling Sect wanted to keep the slate for themselves but the other two clans were not fools. They also had their own plans.
Very well. Everyone wanted to seize the slate of the Six-Winged Clan but no one was aware that Ning Fan had done something to it and turned it into a useless piece of stone.
I shall just use this piece of junk to cause a fight among the Lan Ling Sect, the Mist Horn Clan and the Ghost Eye Clan!
By muddling this situation, perhaps Ning Fan would have the chance to sneak into the Mist Horn Clan and the Ghost Eye Clan to steal their devil statue slates away.
"King Lan Ling, huh? I’ll remember you!"
A trace of cold light flashed in Ning Fan’s eyes. At the next moment, he tossed that piece of useless slate to King Lan Ling and then pulled the female corpse and Yue Lingkong towards him.
"Our business is done now. Next, we shall watch a play!"
King Lan Ling’s expression which was cold and unemotional moved for the first time when he met Ning Fan’s cold gaze. Somehow, he actually felt chills in his gut when he saw Ning Fan’s smile.
That was an instinctive feeling of danger! He, the dignified King Lan Ling, actually felt a sense of danger from Ning Fan’s smile... How could that be possible?
"It’s probably a wrong impression... This man is just a Divine Transformation Realm junior. It’s unknown whether or not he could attain the Void Refinement Realm. He’s just a nobody. Even if he cultivates for another one thousand or even ten thousand years and breaks through to the Void Refinement Realm by chance, he still won’t be an opponent who can withstand a single round with me. He’s just an ant. How could an ant like him give me a feeling of danger?"
King Lan Ling still regarded Ning Fan with contempt. However, he never expected that the threats he had spoken earlier had already touched Ning Fan’s bottom line and he would pay for it in the future.
He kept the slate and coldly stared at the two figures who were rushing towards him from far away. The figures of the two individuals were getting closer and closer.
"Lan Ling! You indeed harbored ill intentions. How dare you seize the most important treasure of my Four Clans of the Hidden Sea! You’re courting death!" The Void Inquiry Stage experts of the Mist Horn Clan and the Ghost Eye Clan who had come to help roared in anger.
"The few devil clans that had been suppressed by the thunder sovereign still dare to speak to me in such a manner? Did you say I am courting death? Well, let’s see who is really courting death here!"
Lan Ling took a step forward. When he raised one of his palms, he directly blasted the two Void Inquiry Stage experts away in midair. His combat power was extremely great.
The expressions of the two Void Inquiry Stage experts changed greatly. None of them dared to act slow. They used all of their strength to display their secret techniques and fought Lan Ling together. Eventually, they managed to be on equal footing with their opponent.
The three of them battled at the side. Slowly, their battlefield became further and further away from the Six-Winged Clan.
At this moment, no one cared about the life and death of the Six-Winged Clan anymore. All of their attention was placed on seizing the slate.
The experts of the three great forces also tailed after the travelling light of the three old monsters. Along their path, they fought and killed each. Blood flowed like a river.
There was not a permanent friend in this world. A single slate was enough to cause three great forces to turn against each other.
On the wasteland of the Six-Winged Clan, only the members of the Demon Sealing Sect were unable to retreat.
After the three great forces left, Lu Jiefen also wanted to leave as well but he was heavily surrounded by the members of the Six-Winged Clan.
The members of the Demon Sealing Sect had killed countless people in the territory of the Six-Winged Clan. Without the members of the other three forces, Great Elder Xuan Yi did not put Lu Jiefen in his eyes at all.
