Grasping Evil-Chapter 486 - Suppressing the Mist Horn Clan

Chapter 486: Chapter 486: Suppressing the Mist Horn Clan

DON’T READ FIRST. INCOMPLETE. I’LL NEED ANOTHER 2 HOURS. STAY TUNED FOR AN ANNOUNCEMENT ON THE DISCORD CHANNEL. 😀

After many years, when some devil old monsters in the internal sea recalled the strongest devil lord of the internal sea, they could not help but think of a white-robed young man.

That young man killed the three bandit kings in just an instant and knocked out millions of Gold Core Realm and Nascent Soul Realm cultivators with a wave of his aura force. Ordinary people could not even stay conscious when they stand by his side.

In Tai Chi City of the Mist Horn Clan.

Ning Fan released unleashed his devil might entirely, causing countless experts to go unconscious. Just like the promise he gave Su Yan, he did not kill any low-grade member of the clan.

As for his killing intent against Xi Mo, he let it out without reservation.

In the city, there were Xi Mo, Gui Jiao and Yin Gong who were the last three Void Refinement Realm experts of the Mist Horn Clan and 22 Divine Transformation Realm cultivators of the clan which included the 6 esteemed elders. Aside from them, there were 9 Divine Transformation Realm cultivators from the internal sea who came to spectate the confrontation and the group of Divine Transformation Realm servants that little Ming Que had brought with her.

These experts who managed to retain their consciousness stared at Ning Fan in shock. Those Divine Transformation Realm cultivators in particular were overwhelmed with terror.

“Zhou Ming, Su Yan is a member of our Mist Horn Clan. Besides, it’s a private affair of our clan. Are you sure you want to interfere?!”

Xi Mo’s expression turned gloomy. However, Ning Fan literally ignored his words.

“Zhou Ming! If you leave right now, I will leave bygones be bygones. However, if you continue to harbor murderous intent against me, my Mist Horn Clan will certainly fight you non-stop until either one of us dies!”

Xi Mo continued to threaten Ning Fan but his words still fell on deaf ears.

“Zhou Ming! Let me tell you this! I owned the contracts of ten million spirit devils. All of them are waiting for my command. If you dare to continue messing with me…

“That’s enough talking!”

Ning Fan ran out of patience. He turned into a strand of smoke and flew at Xi Mo with a frightening devil might.

As soon as they saw Ning Fan act, the nine unrelated Divine Transformation Realm cultivators hurriedly left Tai Chi City.

Little Ming Que who was gnawing pills in in her mouth also brought her group of servants to leave the city swiftly on a spotlessly white “cloud baby” and moved closer to Su Yan’s direction.

The 22 Divine Transformation Realm cultivators of the Mist Horn Clan got into a formation and stood in front of Ning Fan. Each of them began delivered their attacks at Ning Fan, pledging their lives to protect Xi Mo.

Ning Fan did not have any mercy for them. Since these Divine Transformation Realm cultivators had attacked him first, they then had to be taught a lesson about death!

“Myriad Sword Style, Shadow!”

Ning Fan channeled his essence qi into his Separation Slayer Sword. As he brandished the sword, the body of the sword which was already as light as a feather in the first place suddenly produced countless sword shadows.

He could summon fifty million sword shadows in a single sword attack. However, since he was just dealing with 22 Divine Transformation Realm cultivators, there was no need for him to use his full strength. He only activated one-fifth of the power of that attack and produced ten million sword shadows.

Even so, as soon as the sword light of the ten million sword shadows swept over his enemies, the 22 Divine Transformation Realm cultivators were all drowned under the sword light. They literally vanished from this world without even leaving any remains of their bodies.

Su Yan shut her eyes in sadness. She could not bear to watch the cultivators who were once her clan members died under Ning Fan’s sword any longer. She could not keep her heart as settled as still water after all.

When she opened her eyes, she surprisingly realized that all of the 22 Divine Transformation Realm cultivators whom she thought had perished were still alive.

Even though the ten million sword rays had destroyed their physical bodies, but they purposely spared their primordial spirits. Ning Fan then condensed his magic power and formed a thread which strung all of the primordial spirits together.

Seeing the 22 Divine Transformation Realm cultivators could not even stop Ning Fan’s footstep at all, each of the Divine Transformation Realm watching the fight were filled with fear.

When Xi Mo and the other two Void Refinement Realm experts saw Ning Fan capture the primordial spirits of the 22 cultivators and strung them on a thread instead of killing them to humiliate them, their expressions became even more hideous.

“Zhou Ming! If you have the balls, then kill me! I will protect Lord Xi Mo even if I have to die!” A Divine Transformation Realm elder who had an unyielding spirit shouted in rage.

“I will never believe in the words that Su Yan said to slander Lord Xi Mo! Zhou Ming! Unless you show me the evidence to prove that Lord Xi Mo has really plotted against Su Yan, it’s plainly unreasonable for you to attack Lord Xi Mo!” Another elderly cultivator spoke with hatred.

“Kill me!”

“I want to die with you together!”

The harsh reproofs from each of the Divine Transformation Realm old monsters could not make Ning Fan reveal a single hint of his emotion.

“I’ll be too lenient with you all if I kill you all right away. I want to plant slave marks on all of you. From today onwards, your descendants will become my devil slaves for eternity! Crush!”

Ning Fan’s words were brief but they immediately fill the faces of all the Divine Transformation Realm elders with fear.

Slave mark was a restraining ability of ancient devils. It was a type of lost divine ability of the past. It was widely used by the devil race in ancient times. For example, Great Emperor Mo Luo had ruled over four great devil clans by enslaving them using the slave mark, causing them unable to escape from the fate of being a slave to him.

The method to plant a slave mark was already lost for countless years. The four great devil clans enslaved by Great Emperor Mo Luo were still searching for methods to break their slave marks. Hence, they did not think Ning Fan would know the method and they only thought that he was trying to intimidate them.

Ning Fan was lazy to explain to them. He released a trace of his ancestral talisman power from the center of his palm which directly went into the 22 primordial spirits. In an instant, that power erased the Mo Luo Devil Mark which were within their bodies.

What happened right now had really twisted the conception of the 22 primordial spirits about the world! The slave marks which had caused them to suffer for their entire lifetime were actually erased by Ning Fan!?

The method to destroy a slave mark that was recorded on the devil slates was by using the ancestral talisman power. Therefore, except for Ning Fan, the others completely had no idea about this method to erase the Mo Luo Slave Mark.

The tiny faces of the 22 primordial spirits began to look panic-stricken. None of them felt happy after having their slave marks erased.

They had been striving for their entire lifetime. Many devil cultivators had been longing to break the Mo Luo Slave Mark on them.

As long as their slave marks were not destroyed, all of their descendants would carry the slave marks and become Mo Luo’s slaves forever!

They had tried out every way they knew but they were still unable to erase the Mo Luo Devil Mark. It was just beyond their expectations that Ning Fan could erase their slave marks as easy as turning over his palm.

It would have been a joyful matter, if Ning Fan did not plant another slave mark on them…

After erasing their original slave marks, Ning Fan used his ancestral talisman power to inscribe a full and complete devil race slave mark on the bodies of the 22 primordial spirits using his essence qi.

Slave mark was a kind of restraining ability that was different from the demon seal of the demon race. It had a better effect in controlling the devil race. Besides, it was imperishable as it could be passed down from generations to generations

“Ah!”

“Stop it!”

“Don’t!”

The 22 miniature primordial spirits cried in pain. All of them struggled in vain as Ning Fan planted the slave marks on them.

Starting from this moment, they no longer harbored any intention to resist Ning Fan. Once they try to rebel against him, the effect of the slave marks would set in!

The new slave mark was similar to Mo Luo Slave Mark. It would stick to everyone with the slave mark and their descendants permanently.

From now onwards, these 22 individuals could only become Ning Fan’s slaves. If they try to betray him, they would die!

“Don’t! I don’t want to serve you. I will only serve Lord Xi Mo… Ah!”

One of the primordial spirits attempted to resist his slave mark but the power of the mark took effect, tormenting him with an irresistible and unbearable pain. He screamed in agony until his voice cracked.

A few breaths later, the primordial spirit ran out of energy to scream. He was already extremely feeble. His eyes were full of misery and terror.

He wanted to commit suicide. However, he found out that whenever he had that thought in mind, he would then lose control over his body, causing him unable to kill himself. After that, he would feel a greater pain both mentally and physically that made it worse than death.

If the effect of the slave mark begins, the person with the slave mark could neither live nor die. All they could do was to be tortured by the unbearable pain!

That primordial spirit which had an unbending spirit in the beginning gradually succumb to despair and fell to his knees, pleading and kowtowing to Ning Fan ceaselessly.

“Master, please spare me. Please… I am willing to follow after Master… I will stand by your side to kill Xi Mo… Please just stop the effect of the slave mark…”

The other 21 primordial spirits turned paled. They were not afraid of death but they were scared of the slave marks.

Because once a cultivator has a slave mark, they would not even be able to decide their own life and death. Apart from that, their future generations also could not escape from the fate of becoming a slave.”

“So this is the slave mark which the four enslaved devil clans abhorred. It’s actually pretty useful…”

Nin Fan continued using his ancestral talisman power and divided that trace of power into millions of portions. Then, he sprinkled them onto Tai Chi City like countless dark golden light rain droplets, sending them into all the unconscious devil cultivators of the Mist Horn Clan.

After seeing what Ning Fan did, Su Yan only let out a gentle sigh.

However, when Xi Mo and the two other Void Refinement Realm experts witnessed Ning Fan’s actions, they felt an irrepressible shock and an instinctive fear for the slave mark.

They could not understand why Ning Fan would know the method of planting a slave mark but they were aware of one thing: at the moment Ning Fan planted the slave marks to all the devil cultivators of the Mist Horn Clan, no one in the clan was their subordinate or helper any longer.

“You actually planted the slave marks on the 22 Divine Transformation Realm experts of my clan! You actually used the slave marks on millions of people of my clan! Zhou Ming, how dare you?! You actually enslaved my entire Mist Horn Clan! You should die!”

“I beg your pardon – I not only want to enslave the Mist Horn Clan but also want the entire clan to be imprisoned in the depths of the Hidden Ocean for eternity! I want to suppress the entire clan right here! Devour!”

Ning Fan’s eyes flashed with cold light. The function of the ancestral talisman was not just refining blood and planting the slave mark on others. In fact, it could also be used for plundering the cultivation base of the enslaved clan!

The slave mark in every member of the Mist Horn Clan contained a trace of Ning Fan’s ancestral talisman power.

Just as Ning Fan activated that ancestral talisman power, the cultivation base of all the enslaved members of the clan were rapidly absorbed by the talisman power and was channeled to his body.

The cultivation level of the devil cultivators who were originally at the Gold Core Realm regressed to the Harmonious Spirit Realm while the cultivation level for those cultivators at the Nascent Soul Realm regressed to the Gold Core Realm. As for those 22 Divine Transformation Realm primordial spirits, they surprisingly discovered that their cultivation levels were being seized and absorbed, causing their cultivation level to fall back to the Nascent Soul Realm!

The cultivation level which several millions of cultivators had lost was used for raising Ning Fan’s essence qi but the increase in his essence qi could not even reach ten thousand units.

Each of the unconscious cultivators were woken up due to the pain they experienced when their cultivation base was being seized. They then hopelessly realized that every one of them had lost a huge portion of their cultivation level and a new slave mark was planted on them!

To a belligerent and strong-willed devil clan, being turned into somebody’s slave and having their cultivation level plundered was much more painful than death.

Ning Fan could refrain from annihilating the Mist Horn Clan. However, facing such a traitorous devil clan which turned their backs on Su Yan, he must teach them a lesson!

And that lesson was to turn the entire clan into slavery for Ning Fan, the ancestral devil forever!

“Under my command, all of the devils which I’ve given the slave marks will have their cultivation level be plundered and be confined to this place. None of you can leave half a step away from Tai Chi City. Otherwise, your slave marks will take effect, making your life a living hell!”

When Ning Fan gave that command, a great wave of devil qi spread across the entire city. Millions of members of the Mist Horn Clan felt the imposition of Ning Fan’s command in the slave mark within them.

After that, nearly no one dared to leave one step away from the city without permission. All of them were going to be trapped by their slave marks, being confined within Tai Chi City permanently!

Countless members of the clan who were hostile towards Ning Fan knelt down before Ning Fan at this moment. None of them could defy his command.

The Divine Transformation Realm cultivators who were watching this scene were completely dumbstruck. It was their first time witnessing such domineering restraining ability which could enslave millions while plundering their cultivation level. This kind of technique was truly terrifying!

“Next, it’s your turn!”

Ning Fan’s body was exuding the power of his ancestral talisman. The power of his ancestral grade devil bloodlines made Xi Mo, Gui Jiao and Yin Gong felt pressured and anxious.

Xi Mo gnashed his teeth with reluctance. He consciously understood that it wqas rather difficult to deal with the current Ning Fan.

“You two, look after my back. Let me face him personally!”

Xi Mo no longer addressed himself as the clan leader as the clan. After Ning Fan had enslaved all of the devil cultivators of the clan, he literally became a man without any followers. His era was over and he was on his own now.

Even though Ning Fan could instantly kill the three bandit kings and was proficient in the slave mark ability, Xi Mo did not think that he would lose to him.

He still remembered that the clash between him and Ning Fan three months ago. At that time, Ning Fan could barely withstand his attack.

Just like what he did that day, Xi Mo lifted one of his fingers. His body gave off a massive amount of devil qi. As he pointed his finger at Ning Fan, his devil qi formed into a tent thousand zhang* (3.33m per zhang) tall mountain that plummeted directly on Ning Fan’s head.

The force of this ten thousand zhang* (3.33m per zhang) tall mountain was equivalent to a true Void Inquiry Stage strike. Its destructive power was not something that one could disregard. Even the three bandit kings would not be able to withstand this attack without suffering any injuries.

Facing the similar attack that he had faced three months ago, disdain filled Ning Fan’s eyes. Before he had achieved the Reckless Devil Realm, he could already take this attack from Xi Mo head-on.

Today, he was already at the Mid Reckless Devil Realm. His physical body had surpassed all the common body cultivators who were at the Second Level of the Golden Body Realm. Similarly, he casually hurled a fist to block that devil mountain but the strength of his fist was no longer was it used to be three months ago!

*Bang*

A crumbling vortex spread from Ning Fan’s fist, easily crushing the devil mountain. Besides that, the remaining force of his strength continued to dash towards Xi Mo’s head. With just a casual punch, it carried the destructive power that was strong enough to severely injured Xi Mo!

Xi Mo’s eyes widened with shock. He did not expect that Ning Fan would grow so strong in just three months.

The latter’s powerful fist made him feel difficult to breathe. Without hesitation, he straight away took out three ancient jade slips from his storage pouch and squashed them.

Immediately, the three jade slips broke and each of them shot out a Void Inquiry Stage strike and collided against Ning Fan’s fist.

After using the three Void Inquiry Stage attacks to stop Ning Fan’s attack, Xi Mo hurriedly escaped from the area of Ning Fan’s punch. He had already lost his composure.

Three months ago, he still at least had equal strength compared to Ning Fan.

Three months later, he could not even withstand a punch from him…

His eyes were full of despair and discontentment. Then, he gave an order to the two experts behind him.

“Gui Jiao, Yin Gong, both of you go up and fight him. Hold him back for some time! I will unseal a jade slip that stores a Void Pierce Stage attack and help you both from beside!

“Understood!”
