Chapter 530: The Confrontation After Forty Years!

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

(Unedited)

Mei Chen’s injuries were really serious. They were so severe that her cultivation base had regressed…

The sky above the Yellow Spring Demon City was pervaded with a thin ghost mist. The air was dull and stuffy. Faint blood stench wafted into the city from the battlefield outside.

Mei Chen draped a splendor black marten coat. She looked as gorgeous and ravishing as before. However, her complexion was unusually pale because of the injuries she was suffering from.

Ning Fan made a sigh and grabbed Mei Chen’s wrist without bothering how she was trying to resist. He held her wrist in the center of his palm and used his medicine soul to carefully examine Mei Chen’s injuries.

“Stinky bad man! You are still as brazen and shameless as before even after forty plus years. How dare you profane me in front of so many people?!” Mei Chen might be cursing verbally but she did not break free from Ning Fan’s hand.

All the cultivators in the Yellow Spring City were dumbfounded.

As far as they remembered, Mei Chen hated men the most and she would never allow any man to touch her body.

Today, however, she actually let Ning Fan hold her wrist. This was literally inconceivable!

Mu Xiaoliang’s cheeks were rosy. She was still the shy and sensitive lady like before. When she saw a man holding a woman’s hand, she would blush.

After a long while, Ning Fan withdrew his medicine soul but did not let go of Mei Chen’s wrist. With a stern face that looked as if he was going to berate her, he asked with a concerned tone, “Tell me, why would you get such serious injuries? If my estimation isn’t wrong, during the forty plus years of my disappearance, your cultivation base should have already recovered to the Third Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm… However, because of the grievous injuries you got this time, your cultivation base has fallen sharply to the First Heavenly Layer. Furthermore, you’re just a hair’s breadth away from falling down from the Void Fragmentation Realm… Your injuries are extremely serious. Even I can’t heal you entirely with ease.”

“*Tsk* The reason why I would get such injuries has nothing to do with you at all. Besides, I didn’t ask you to help me heal my injuries at all!” Mei Chen’s expression was slightly abnormal. She randomly talked back to Ning Fan and swiftly removed her hand from Ning Fan.

“The reason why Elder Sister Mei Chen would get these injuries is because…” Mu Xiaoliang wanted to tell Ning Fan about it but Mei Chen glared at her, interrupting her from talking.

“Don’t tell this stinky bad man about it! Otherwise, the bond between me and you will end right now!”

“T-Then… I won’t tell him…” Mu Xiaoliang was afraid that Mei Chen would break off the relationship with her. Thus, she immediately covered her tiny mouth with her hand, not daring to speak a single word.

Ning Fan was not a person who liked getting to the bottom of something. However, he wanted to help Mei Chen heal her injuries. Therefore, he needed to understand the cause of her injuries.

Looking at the silly Mu Xiaoliang, Ning Fan put on an innocent and harmless smile and said, “Little Black just doesn’t want you to ‘tell’ me but she didn’t say that you can’t ‘show’ me. You can imprint the causes of Little Black’s injuries in a jade slip. Then, I’ll look through them with my eyes. It won’t be considered as telling me.”

“That’s right. Why didn’t I think of this just now?” Mu Xiaoliang gently patted her head and stuck out her tongue. After that, she took out a jade slip and imprinted the sequence of events into the jade slip.

She sure was still as naïve and silly as before.

Ning Fan received the jade slip and scanned it with his spirit sense. After taking a look at the jade slip, he already understood why Mei Chen would get hurt.

Mei Chen tried to stop him but it was already too late. She let out a light angry humph and turned around, flying back to the city.

Ning Fan kept the jade slip. Looking at Mei Chen’s figure that was gradually diminishing into the distance, his eyes filled with complicated emotions.

Without a doubt, it was Bone Sovereign who inflicted those injuries on her. However, the reason why she would get such injuries was because of Ning Fan…

When Ning Fan eliminated Bone Sovereign’s true soul in the past, the latter’s cultivation base had regressed to the Third Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm.

Mei Chen had also recovered her original cultivation base that was at the Third Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm after breaking the seals within her body. During that time, she was considered to have equal strength with Bone Sovereign who was severely injured.

Mei Chen lingered around the Sixth Region while Bone Sovereign ruled over the Seventh Region. Both of them could not do anything to each other. Thus, all of them were living together peacefully.

However, no one expected that Bone Sovereign would hate Ning Fan to the marrow of his bones. He spent years of efforts to condense another true soul to try sneaking out of the Demon Sinister Forest and head to the Rain World to seek revenge on Ning Fan!

After knowing this information, Mei Chen got into the Seventh Region on her own and fought Bone Sovereign at all cost, trying to eliminate Bone Sovereign’s true soul forcibly!

The reason why she chose to do that was because she did not want Ning Fan to be hurt by Bone Sovereign…

After Bone Sovereign’s second true soul was eliminated, his cultivation base had fallen sharply once again to the First Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm. It made him extremely furious…

Mei Chen, on the other hand, suffered even more serious injuries. Her cultivation base regressed even more and it nearly fell from the Void Fragmentation Realm…

In that battle, both Mei Chen and Bone Sovereign suffered heavy losses.

When Mei Chen was treating her injuries, Bone Sovereign sent out the great army of ghost soldiers with the intention to kill Mei Chen in the Yellow Spring Demon City to vent out his anger!

“Little Black actually got herself hurt because of me…” It was impossible for Ning Fan not to feel touched. His intention to help her heal her wounds became even more determined.

“N-Ning Fan… Could you heal Elder Sister Mei Chen’s injuries…? Please, I beg you…” Mu Xiaoliang placed her hands on her chest and stared at Ning Fan with her large puppy eyes.

Ning Fan laughed and patted her head. He was really defeated by those innocent pleading eyes.

“Don’t worry. Little Black is my demon pet. How could I cast her aside and leave her high and dry? Let’s go. Bring me to her boudoir. I’ll help her treat her injuries.”

As soon as Ning Fan finished speaking, he directly held Mu Xiaoliang’s soft waist and flew toward the demon city in a flash of light.

Commander You Hai and the other cultivators of the city did not stop Ning Fan.

Everyone with discerning eyes would be able to tell that the relationship between Ning Fan and Mei Chen was ambiguous.

Yellow Spring City was Mei Chen’s territory. Ning Fan naturally could come and go freely and no one would care about it.

It was just that many ghost cultivators were filled with deep admiration for him.

“That Young Master Ning is truly outstanding. He actually dares to hold Lord Princess Mei’s hand in public just now and Lord Princess Mei did not resist at all! What exactly is their relationship? Could the two of them be partners?!”

“Oh my god1 If that man really is Lord Princess Mei’s partner, he will be the second master of our Yellow Spring City, won’t he?!”

“That Young Master Ning has outstanding charm for being able to win Lord Princess Mei’s heart successfully.”

“Even though Young Master Ning called Lord Princess Mei as Little Black, Lord Princess Mei actually did not beat the life out of him… Apparently, the relationship between Lord Princess Mei and Young Master Ning is really close!”

…

Ning Fan travelled past layers of ghost mist. After a while, he stopped and descended outside a palace that had the tightest defense in the entire city.

He completely ignored the layers of formation light surrounding the palace. When he pointed his finger that was covered in golden purple mist at the formation light, the formation light immediately parted, forming a passage for him.

Ning Fan put down Mu Xiaoliang and they walked into the palace together.

Mei Chen also just returned to the palace. After walking for some distances, her complexion began even paler. Her injuries worsened, nearly making her unable to maintain her human form and had to return to her demon form as a yellow spring sable.

Before she could sit properly after getting back to the side of her bed, Ning Fan had already entered her palace. It made her feel slightly displeased.

“Stinky bad man! Who gave you the permission to enter my palace…? *Cough*” She felt a sudden sharp pain in her chest and started coughing. Traces of light red blood flowed out from the corners of her mouth.

“You are my demon pet. Therefore, your resting palace naturally is my resting palace. If I want to enter, I’ll enter. Whose permission will I need to enter?” Ning Fan was verbally teasing but his eyes were filled with a hint of sympathy.

“Bah! Who is your demon pet?! If you dare to speak nonsense again, I’ll… *Cough*…”

Mei Chen tried to talk back to Ning Fan again but it aggravated her injuries, causing her to cough out blood once more.

When she was speaking, Ning Fan and Mu Xiaoliang had already reached in front of her bed.

“Ning Fan, hurry up and save Elder Sister Mei Chen!” Mu Xiaoliang urged with concern.

“Don’t worry!”

Ning Fan ignored Mei Chen’s ferocious look that seemed like she wanted to eat him alive. He just gave her a faint smile and then reached out his hand, using his Yin Plucking Finger on her.

In the past, Ning Fan could not subdue Mei Chen completely using his Yin Plucking Finger because he was just at the Harmonious Spirit Realm.

Today, however, he was already a Void Refinement Realm expert whereas Mei Chen was grievously injured. When he used this technique, Mei Chen could not resist at all. She literally felt numbness across her entire body and then she collapsed to the bed behind her.

“Shameless! How dare you use a bewitching technique on me when I am in such a state. You are the most shameless stinky man that I have ever met in my entire life! What do you want to do to me?! Stop! Don’t take off my clothes! Watch your hands! Don’t touch here!”

Mei Chen’s face turned rose while she was cursing Ning Fan. She could only watch Ning Fan take off all her clothes without having the capabilities to retaliate due to the numbness and weakness of her body.

Ning Fan did not leave a single piece of clothing on Mei Chen’s body. Then, he carried her in his arms and placed her flat on the bed.

Mei Chen’s body was spotlessly clean like a porcelain sculpture. Not a single wound could be seen on her body.

However, Ning Fan was aware that the injuries that Mei Chen had were not external wounds but the wounds in the demon soul.

In her dantian, her demon soul was completely scattered. It was dispersed all over her immortal veins and could not be condensed again.

The only way to stabilize her injuries was to put her scattered demon soul power together again.

Besides, even if it could stabilize her condition, the cultivation base that she had already lost could not be recovered and it would only remain at the First Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm…

She had fought Bone Sovereign with her life for Ning Fan’s sake. The injuries she got from the fight were too grave. Even if Ning Fan uses the Black Star Technique or Sixth Revolution Pills, he might not necessarily be able to cure her completely…

In order to let her regain her full health and recover her cultivation base, she would need at least a High Grade Seventh Revolution vulnerary pill.

Ning Fan did not have such a powerful pill. Thus, he could not heal her completely. The most he could do was to suppress her injuries.

His palm produced traces of black starlight. After that, he used that hand to stroke Mei Chen’s silky and tender body.

When they were having skin-to-skin contact, Ning Fan was secretly reciting the chants of Yin Yang Transformation, making his heart as still as a rock. Mei Chen, on the other hand, was moaning and panting heavily under Ning Fan’s touch.

“Stinky man! Stop touching me! I’m serious. Stop it…”

“I-I can’t hold it any longer…”

“S-Stop… it…”

“En…En…”

It was unknown how much time had passed. Gradually, the power of Ning Fan’s Yin Plucking Finger had completely engulfed Mei Chen’s consciousness. She no longer spoke any word as she only let out seductive moans with lust in her eyes.

Ning Fan’s palm trailed the network of her immortal veins and channeled her demon soul power back to her dnatian.

Mei Chen could no longer endure it anymore…

She recovered a bit of her consciousness and she felt so embarrassed that she wanted to die!

It was the second time! She actually let Ning Fan touch her like this for the second time!

During the first time, she was in the form of a little sable. Thus, it was not a big deal. This time, however, she was in her human form! She wished that she could get a piece of tofu and knock herself dead after letting Ning Fan watch such a titillating scene!

“How dare you profane me like this?! I’ll resist you with everything I have!!!”

Mei Chen pulled the thin blanket aside to cover her body and flung a hand at Ning Fan, giving him a slap on his face. She felt humiliated and angry.

Only after giving Ning Fan a slap did she realize that Ning Fan had already forced her demon soul power that was flowing aimlessly all over her immortal veins back to her dantian, enabling her to condense her demon soul.

Even though her demon soul was still frail and weak, her injuries were already stabilized…

Ning Fan’s massage technique was quite remarkable. However, what was more remarkable was the black starlight. It was the black starlight that enabled Mei Chen’s demon soul to condense again within a short period of time!

It was naturally impossible for Ning Fan to get hit by Mei Chen. He held her wrist and took advantage of her momentum to pull her forward, dragging her into his arms from the bed and giving her a spanking.

*Piak*

The loud and crisp sound caused Mei Chen to fill with embarrassment again.

This time, before she could even resist, Ning Fan’s assertive voice had already gone inside her ears.

“Little Black, if you let yourself get such serious injuries again, I’ll punish you harshly. Remember, you are my demon pet and you can’t simply let yourself get hurt!”

Ning Fan fed her a Sixth Revolution vulnerary pill and used his Yin Plucking Finger on her again, slowly putting her to sleep.

He placed her back to the bed and covered her with a thin blanket. Then, he calmly told Mu Xiaoliang.

“Wei Liang, take care of Little Black for a while. I have something else to deal with and I need to leave Yellow Spring City.”

“Oh…” Mu Xiaoliang nodded her head obediently and answered without asking where Ning Fan was going.

“Where are you going? Are you going to look for Bone Sovereign and fight him?! You can’t! Even if Bone Sovereign is currently seriously injured, you definitely aren’t his opponent!” Mei Chen wanted to ask but her body was completely deprived of strength, making her unable to speak.

Mu Xiaoliang might not know what Ning Fan meant but how could Mei Chen not understand what he was planning to do?!

Mei Chen knew that the reason why Ning Fan wanted to leave the Yellow Spring City was because he wanted to head over the Seventh Region and fight Bone Sovereign!

Mei Chen noticed that Ning Fan’s current cultivation base was just at the Void Glimpse Stage. Even if Bone Sovereign had grievous injuries that rendered his cultivation base to fall, he was still an expert at the First Heavenly Layer of the Void Fragmentation Realm!

It was impossible for Ning Fan to be his opponent, no matter what!

If he goes to the Seventh Region, it would be equivalent to seeking his own death!

“Don’t you go there… Don’t…” Mei Chen wanted to stop Ning Fan but the power of the Yin Plucking Finger spread through her body, making her consciousness slowly slip away.

Ning Fan did not turn back. He just walked out of the formation light of her resting palace with gentle steps and left the Yellow Spring Demon City.

After summoning the ancient golden sword, he made a jump and stood above the tip of the ancient sword.

He tossed a great sum of immortal jade and the ancient sword immediately turned into a pure golden ray that dashed directly toward the Seventh Region!

The ghost cultivators of the entire city were completely stunned. They could tell that Ning Fan was heading over the direction of the Seventh Region!

“What is Young Master Ning planning to do? Could it be that he is going to the Seventh Region to fight Bone Sovereign?!”

“Young Master Ning has incredible strength. He might be able to eliminate an army of one million ghost troops but he is not a Void Fragmentation Realm cultivator! At least this can’t get past my eyes! How can he be Bone Sovereign’s match if he isn’t a Void Fragmentation Realm cultivator?! If he heads to the Seventh Region rashly, it’ll be similar to a suicidal decision!”

Ning Fan did not listen to any of the discussions from the members of the city.

At least, he was certain that the current him was equipped with enough strength to kill Bone Sovereign who was already grievously injured!

He looked at the big huge cloud of black mist in the distance. As long as he could get past the black mist, he could then enter the Seventh Region!

From the Seventh Region, Ning Fan could sense countless traces of powerful qi. There were Divine Transformation Realm qi, Void Refinement Realm qi and a trace of weakened Void Fragmentation Realm qi which without a doubt belonged to Bone Sovereign!

“Bone Sovereign, fight me!”

Before Ning Fan entered the Seventh Region, his voice echoed extremely far away under the effect of his baleful qi and devil might.

Within a ghost city that was built with white skeletons in the Seventh Region, countless ghost soldiers raised their eyebrows upon hearing Ning Fan’s voice!

“Who’s it that has such audacity to come to the Seventh Region to challenge Bone Sovereign!”

At the center of the ghost city, Bone Sovereign was healing his injuries within a stone chamber located inside a large hall of white skeletons.

After hearing Ning Fan’s voice, Bone Sovereign’s eyes immediately turned bloodshot. He gnashed his teeth in hatred and said, “It’s him! I was still doubting earlier why my Gold Core Realm clone that I sent to the Third Region would die, why the life plates of Gui Bing and Shuang Sha would break and why the four white skeletons puppets would disappear… Apparently, it’s him who was behind everything!”

“Ning Fan! How dare a mere ant like you come to the Seventh Region to challenge me?! You are literally courting death!”

*Bang* *Bang* *Bang*

Layers of formation light outside the ghost city were directly shattered by someone while countless ghost troops were turned into ashes!

Bone Sovereign instantly flew out of the large hall in a bright flash. He stood in midair, staring at the cold young man who trespassed the Seventh Region all alone.

“I’m not going to ask why you came here. I just want to tell you that you don’t have to think about leaving here alive since you’ve entered the Seventh Region! Where are my five million ghost troops? Kill this evil being for me!”

As soon as Bone Sovereign gave a command, nearly five million white skeletons troops immediately charged at Ning Fan like a tidal wave. Each and every one of them was at least at the Gold Core Realm!

Bone Sovereign stared at Ning Fan with a cold glint in his eyes. Aside from the army of ghost troops, there were even twelve Void Refinement Realm experts and five thousand Divine Transformation Realm cultivators standing in front of him to protect him!

From Bone Sovereign’s perspective, he could eliminate Ning Fan depending just on the wave attack from his large army and he did not need to act on his own to kill him.

Forty years ago, Ning Fan was just a Harmonious Spirit Realm ant.

Forty years later, regardless of how powerful his abilities were, Bone Sovereign still did not put him in his eye!

“There is no way he can withstand my five million ghost troops!”

Bone Sovereign smirked with confidence. At the next moment, however, his smile literally froze and it then turned into a look of disbelief.

Ning Fan did not have the slightest hint of fear when facing five million ghost troops on his own. He just gently raised one of his hands and bit off one of his fingers.

His finger was immediately regenerated but. As for that broken finger, the moment it touched the ground, it transformed into six million Gold Core Realm devil soldiers which gave off a massive devil qi. All of them clashed against the ghost troops from Bone Sovereign!

The Ancient Devil Dao – Summoning Armies by Crushing Bone!

Ning Fan stole this technique from Immortal Emperor Mo Zhong. It was the most original ancient devil ability!

Even though Bone Sovereign also knew this technique, he certainly could not summon six million devil armies using it!

“Impossible! This is definitely impossible! Even I can only summon one hundred thousand Gold Core Realm devil armies at the cost of my broken bone! This man actually could summon six million devil armies in a single try! How can this be possible?!”

“It has only been forty years. Why would this man get so strong?!”

Bone Sovereign’s eyes were filled with astonishment!

Forty years ago, Bone Sovereign who turned into Wang Yao lost to Ning Fan.

Forty years later, Ning Fan already had the power to go into the Seventh Region and challenge him!

It was their confrontation after a timespan of forty years!

The six million devil armies and the five million ghost troops fought a bloody battle on the desolate land. Within a short period of time, both sides suffered huge casualties.

Mountains of corpses were piled up and the land was turned into a sea of blood. Fresh blood dyed several ten thousand li* (500m per li) of the Seventh Region’s land red!

Gradually, Bone Sovereign’s army began losing ground…
