Chapter 555: Chapter 494: Yan’s Fury

For Ku Rong, his Magic Cultivation had only just entered the Innate Great Perfection Realm; Master Chu could crush him with just one finger!

Even, if he were to face off against Ye Fan without using the Soul Summoning Banner, he had no confidence at all.

After all, Ye Fan had once massacred the Nanqinghong Headquarters and single-handedly challenged the Hongwu Sect!

In such a situation, could one imagine the fear in his heart when he saw Master Chu and Ye Fan pursuing him while controlling their Qi for flight?

It’s over!

Ku Rong slumped to the ground, utterly devoid of the courage to run, and merely watched Master Chu and Ye Fan approaching with a face full of terror.

"Master... Master Chu, it wasn’t my doing, it was all Wu Mu—Wu Mu absorbed the resentful spirit and energy here to craft the top-grade high-level magical artifact Soul Summoning Banner to target you!"

Seeing Master Chu landing on the ground with Ye Fan, Ku Rong knelt down, shaking all over with fear but still retaining a bit of clarity, not daring to reveal Wu Mu’s instruction to use the Soul Summoning Banner to assassinate Ye Fan, and instead completely disassociating himself from the incident.

"If it was all Wu Mu’s doing alone, why did he involve you?"

Master Chu looked at Ku Rong expressionlessly and slowly said, "Don’t say I didn’t give you a chance—I’ll let Xiao Fan duel with you. If you win, I’ll spare your life."

"Master... Master Chu..." Ku Rong continued to plead.

Master Chu coldly interrupted, "What I say is absolute, like water poured out. Of course, if you dare not duel with Xiao Fan, then end your own life!"

"Huff... huff..."

Hearing Master Chu’s words again, Ku Rong knew begging for mercy was useless and stopped wasting his breath. Instead, he turned his gaze toward Ye Fan, his breathing turning extremely heavy.

"Swoosh—"

A strong desire to survive momentarily made Ku Rong forget his fear. Not waiting for Ye Fan to act, he suddenly rolled over and shot back explosively.

As an Innate Great Perfection Realm Magician, his physical functions couldn’t compare to an Innate Great Perfection Stage Martial Artist but were enough to rival a Postnatal Martial Artist; he withdrew dozens of meters in the blink of an eye.

"Xiao Fan, it seems this fellow is too scared to fight you and is set on running away," seeing Ku Rong retreating repeatedly, Master Chu said, unable to hide his insight.

"He won’t escape!"

Ye Fan said and instantly leapt up, transforming into a phantom, swiftly pursuing Ku Rong; his speed was more than ten times faster than Ku Rong’s.

"Ghost King Descent!"

Seeing Ye Fan rapidly closing in, Ku Rong, knowing his speed was vastly inferior, quickly waved his hands, casting the killing move "Ghost King Descent" from "Ghost Demon Skill" in an attempt to block Ye Fan.

Upon completion of the handprint, the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi above Five Saints Mountain fluctuated momentarily. A stream of Evil Yin Qi descended from the sky, forming an Evil Yin Monster in the air wielding a large blade.

Although Ku Rong activated the killing move "Ghost King Descent" and used an intermediate magic artifact, because his own strength was much lesser compared to his master Wu Mu, and lacking the resentful spirits from within the Soul Summoning Banner, the Evil Yin Monster formed in the air was nearly invisible and could only be detected through mental perception, its power paled significantly.

"Go!"

As the Evil Yin Monster formed, Ku Rong took out a small black flag, swung it forcefully, and directed its tip towards Ye Fan.

In an instant, the Evil Yin Monster in the sky, like a robot receiving commands, leaped forward and slashed directly at Ye Fan!

"Hmph!"

Perceiving the Evil Yin Monster approaching with a blade, Ye Fan snorted coldly, his mind shifted, and he stimulated the seventy-three Power Seeds within his body. The Power Seeds spun wildly, and streams of power burst forth, transforming into Blood Qi and erupting from his body.

"Evil Yin Break!"

As Blood Qi emerged, Ye Fan roared loudly. Within the roar, not only was it loaded with a Mind Attack, but it also mixed with that stream of Blood Qi, instantly dispersing the Evil Yin Monster.

"What... What??"

Realizing that the Evil Yin Monster was dispersed by Ye Fan’s roar, Ku Rong was so shocked he almost jumped off the mountain!

Although he had only recently advanced to the Innate Great Perfection, with the intermediate magical artifact "Ghost Flag," he could activate "Ghost King Descent" to form an Evil Yin Monster that even typical Innate Great Perfection Stage Martial Artists would struggle against.

Yet Ye Fan shattered his technique with a single shout...

How could he not be horrified?

What he didn’t know was that Ye Fan had an Extremely Yang Body, within which flowed Pure Yang Qi, the nemesis of all Evil Yin objects.

Moreover, although Ye Fan’s Magic Cultivation was only at the Peak stage of Innate, his quality of Mind Power was stronger than that of an ordinary Innate Great Perfection Realm Magician.

"Swoosh—"

Having shattered the "Ghost King Descent," and without waiting for Ku Rong to recover from his shock, Ye Fan’s consciousness shifted, and the Xuanye Flying Blade shot out from his sleeve, transforming into a beam of light targeting Ku Rong.

"Pfft—"

Without any chance to react, Ku Rong’s left calf was pierced by the Xuanye Flying Blade, blood spurting wildly.

"Pfft—"

A second blade created a bloody hole in Ku Rong’s right calf.

"Plunk—"

With both legs injured, Ku Rong couldn’t stand and fell backward onto the ground.

Ye Fan arrived like the wind, instantly reaching in front of Ku Rong and looked down at him from above.

Hmm?

With a single glance, Ye Fan suddenly noticed an ancient-looking treasure sword not far behind Ku Rong—the ancestral Soul-devouring Blade of the Nolan Family—only that the resentful spirits within it had been extracted.

"How come the Nolan Family’s ancestral Soul-devouring Blade is here?"

Seeing the Soul-devouring Blade, a ominous thought surged in Ye Fan’s mind, and he frowned at Ku Rong.

"Wu Mu... Wu Mu wanted to use the resentful spirits in the Soul-devouring Blade to craft a Soul Summoning Banner," Ku Rong explained fearfully.

"Snap—"

Ye Fan took a step forward, a flash of killing intent in his eyes, and said coldly, "I’m asking you why the Soul-devouring Blade is here! I didn’t ask what Wu Mu is using it for!"

"Wu Mu exchanged it with Nolan Mingde for three magical artifacts..."

Ku Rong weakly answered, his voice soft and eyes flickering, not daring to meet Ye Fan’s gaze.

Seeing this, Ye Fan, realizing that Ku Rong was hiding something, spoke even colder, "I’m giving you one last chance, if you don’t tell the truth, I don’t mind using the ’Puppetry Technique’ to extract your memories."

"No... don’t!"

Upon hearing this, Ku Rong screamed in fright. As the senior disciple of Wu Mu, he not only had heard of the secret ’Puppetry Technique’ but also deeply knew the horror of it.

"Initially, Nolan Mingde was unwilling to make the trade, but later, upon learning that you had injured someone from the Nolan family, he agreed to the swap... but he added one condition: Wu Mu must kill you!" Perhaps due to his guilty conscience, Ku Rong’s tongue tied towards the end.

Sure enough!

Ye Fan had felt something fishy upon seeing the Soul-devouring Blade, and after hearing Ku Rong’s words, seeing the flickering in his eyes, he did not at all believe Ku Rong: the Soul-devouring Blade was indeed the Nolan family’s ancestral treasure blade and also a top-grade mid-level Magical Artifact, more precious than three ordinary mid-level Magical Artifacts—even if Wu Mu pressured them, the Nolan family might not agree to the exchange!

After all, even if the Nolan family had angered Wu Mu, Wu Mu wouldn’t dare to make a serious move against the Nolan family under the deterrence of the Yanhuang Organization, and Wu Mu’s Ghost Sect had negligible secular power to threaten the Nolan family.

Now, having heard Ku Rong reveal the truth, Ye Fan confirmed his own judgment and also faintly felt that since the Nolan family had swung their blade at him, they would likely also cause trouble for Elder Miao and Miao Xiuling.

Thinking this, Ye Fan did not lay his hands on Ku Rong but instead raised his wrist and used a special communicator given by Yan to contact Yan.

This special communicator, given to him by Yan, was more advanced and had stronger security than those allocated to ordinary members of the Yanhuang Organization.

"Kid, why did suddenly you contact me? Is something the matter?"

Upon connection, Yan’s voice came through, tinged with some confusion. He knew Ye Fan well enough to know that Ye Fan would not contact him without a good reason.

"Elder Yan, Xiao Fan has a matter that needs your assistance," Ye Fan went straight to the point.

"What’s the matter?" Yan’s curiosity deepened. In his memory, Ye Fan was a prideful person who disliked asking for help.

"Please, immediately instruct the person in charge of the Yanhuang Organization’s Liaobei Province Office to contact the Nolan family and stop them from killing an old man named Miao at the foot of Changbai Mountain in Changshi Village!"

Ye Fan spoke quickly, thinking that Miao Xiuling would be safe under Chu Ji’s protection, so the Nolan family, if they were to act, would only target Elder Miao.

"Yanhuang Organization rules state cultivators must not harm ordinary people. Don’t tell me the Nolan family doesn’t take the Yanhuang Organization seriously?" Yan, upon hearing this, raised his eyebrows and then felt that there must be a reason behind it, asking, "Xiao Fan, what exactly is going on?"

"Elder Yan, it’s urgent. Please give the orders to the person in charge of Liaobei Province first. As for the reasons, I’ll explain them to you after you’ve given the orders," Ye Fan urged, somewhat anxiously.

"Okay!"

Sensing the urgency in Ye Fan’s tone, Yan pondered briefly then agreed to Ye Fan’s suggestion, "I’ll notify Elder He immediately to inform the person in charge of the Liaobei office, and I’ll contact you later!"

As the words fell, Yan ended the call proactively and immediately issued orders to He Yunting, then contacted Ye Fan again, saying, "I’ve instructed Elder He to handle this. As long as the Nolans haven’t made their move yet, they absolutely won’t dare to lay a finger on that Miao man once they receive the notice!"

"Thank you, Elder Yan!"

Ye Fan, on hearing this, secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The Nolan family might dare to defy the rules of the Yanhuang Organization in secret, but they definitely wouldn’t dare to openly oppose the Yanhuang Organization!

Even in all of Huaxia, no force in the Cultivation World would dare to openly oppose the Yanhuang Organization!

"Now, can you tell me what this is all about?" Yan asked again.

"It’s like this..."

Once again faced with Yan’s inquiry, Ye Fan no longer concealed anything, telling Yan the entire story, including how he had come to be enemies with the Nolan family and how they had conspired with Wu Mu and his disciple Ku Rong to retaliate against him.

"Wu Mu is looking for death!"

Hearing that Wu Mu, in his efforts to craft the Soul Summoning Banner, had absorbed all the resentful energy and spirits from the North Korea Special Zone and condensed them into resentful spirits, Yan shouted angrily, the killing intent in his voice palpable even to Ye Fan on the other side of the communicator.

"Rest assured, Elder Yan, my master and I were at the Five Saints Mountain looking for Yin Spirit Flowers and chanced upon that scoundrel Wu Mu. Wu Mu, although he had crafted the top-grade high-level Magical Artifact Soul Summoning Banner, was still slain by my master! I learned of the collusion between the Nolan family and scoundrel Wu Mu from his senior disciple Ku Rong!"

Ye Fan thought for a moment and did not disclose the fact that Wu Mu was killed by the Crimson Golden Crown, instead attributing Wu Mu’s death to Chu Xuanji.

"A top-grade high-level Magical Artifact? We owe Xuanji big time for this; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable!"

Upon hearing this, Yan could not help but shudder at the thought—if Wu Mu had left Huaxia with the successfully crafted Soul Summoning Banner, it would have been a disaster!

"Xiao Fan, don’t worry, I’ll handle this matter myself and give you an explanation!"

After the initial fright, Yan, feeling even angrier, decided to deal with the matter personally!
