Chapter 549: Chapter 549: Why Should the Dead Know So Much?_1

To refine the Foundation Establishment Pill requires three ingredients.

So far, the Jade Marrow Mushroom and the Ice-Fire Snow Lotus have been acquired, only the Sea Spirit Fruit remains elusive.

Once the Foundation Establishment Pill is refined, it can be administered to Xu Yourong to rebuild her physical foundation and completely cure her.

I, too, would succeed in reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm!

If the Celestial Forbidden Grounds truly are the cultivation grounds for cultivators or even Celestial Beings, the Sea Spirit Fruit is very likely to exist there!

With these thoughts, Ning Fan ultimately decided to venture into the Celestial Forbidden Grounds.

Whether the Sea Spirit Fruit exists there or not, he must make the journey!

For Xu Yourong’s cure, even if there’s only a glimmer of hope, Ning Fan is willing to try.

Liu Yangde had been observing Ning Fan, and noticing the change in his gaze, he knew Ning Fan was now intrigued by the Celestial Forbidden Grounds.

"Mr. Ning, if you wish to go to the Celestial Forbidden Grounds, I can lead the way for you!"

"I only ask that you spare my life!"

Liu Yangde desperately tried to prove his worth, attempting to persuade Ning Fan to spare him.

Ning Fan glanced at him and said indifferently, "If I were to spare you, the dead of Myriad Flowers Valley would not rest in peace."

"You are bound to die today, but if you tell me the location of the Celestial Forbidden Grounds, I can grant you a swift death."

Commanding his subordinates to attack Myriad Flowers Valley, causing heavy casualties and even Yuan Hongmian’s death, how could Ning Fan possibly spare Liu Yangde!

"Do you really have to kill me?"

"For those who have died, you wouldn’t even forsake the Celestial Forbidden Grounds?"

"Or do you think I’m foolish enough to reveal the location of the Celestial Forbidden Grounds to you, knowing full well that I’m doomed?"

Liu Yangde’s face changed colors repeatedly before he finally roared with a darkened countenance.

If death was inevitable, why should he beg Ning Fan for mercy!

"Ning Fan! If you dare, kill me! You will never find out where the Celestial Forbidden Grounds are!"

Without waiting for Ning Fan to speak, Liu Yangde, who had given up all hope, continued to bellow at Ning Fan.

Ning Fan’s lips twisted into a mocking smile and he said lightly, "Do you really think that if you don’t speak, I have no way of making you talk?"

As his words fell, Ning Fan snapped his fingers.

An overwhelming spiritual power instantly enveloped Liu Yangde, who fell into an illusion under its influence.

This was an Illusion Technique Ning Fan had learned in Sakura Country, which he hadn’t expected to use at this moment.

Under the illusion, Liu Yangde became dazed and quickly revealed the location of the Celestial Forbidden Grounds.

"Snap!"

Having obtained the location, Ning Fan snapped his fingers again, and the illusion shattered instantly.

Liu Yangde came to his senses, saying in terror, "What... what did you do to me!"

"Heh, why should a dead man know so much?"

With a cold laugh, Ning Fan pointed a finger, and spiritual power directly shattered Liu Yangde’s head.

Until his death, Liu Yangde’s eyes were still filled with intense fear and disbelief.

With Liu Yangde’s death, the Divine Tune Sect was annihilated, leaving no survivors!

Many disciples who had managed to flee were still killed by Liu Yangde, the Sect Leader, which, in a sense, also helped Ning Fan.

Hua Nishang, with her remaining disciples and two Elders, knelt before Ning Fan.

After this battle, Myriad Flowers Valley suffered heavy casualties, with only Elders Sun Miao and Wang Kun left, and very few disciples remaining.

"Ning Fan, thank you for avenging my mother!"

"Thank you, Mr. Ning, for avenging Myriad Flowers Valley!"

Under Hua Nishang’s leadership, everyone shouted in unison.

Looking at the people before him, Ning Fan raised his hand gently, and a force lifted everyone up.

"I also bear responsibility for this matter; I have dragged Myriad Flowers Valley into it, everybody stand up..."

If it weren’t for him leaving Xu Yourong in Myriad Flowers Valley, perhaps the Divine Tune Sect would never have made a move against it.

But what had happened was already done, and everything had become a foregone conclusion.

Hua Nishang managed a weak smile and said, "Don’t blame yourself; the Divine Tune Sect had already set its sights on Myriad Flowers Valley long ago. This incident merely gave them an excuse to strike."

"Yes, Mr. Ning, we don’t blame you!"

The rest of the disciples also started speaking up in agreement.

Ning Fan shook his head and didn’t say much else.

...

The crowd left Divine Tune Sect with many of the dead disciples and Elders of Myriad Flowers Valley and returned to Myriad Flowers Valley.

Next to the Cold Ice Pool, the wooden house boat was rebuilt.

Ning Fan cultivated inside, preparing to set off for the Celestial Forbidden Grounds in seven days.

Hua Nishang and others also busied themselves within Myriad Flowers Valley, as if everything had returned to the way it once was.

However, in the depths of Myriad Flowers Valley, more graves were present, burying Yuan Hongmian and many disciples and Elders.

Hua Nishang and the two remaining Elders, along with many disciples, found Ning Fan.

"Mr. Ning, after some discussion, we would like to invite you to stay in Myriad Flowers Valley and take up the position of Valley Master!"

Sun Miao bowed slightly to Ning Fan and said respectfully.

Wang Kun immediately concurred, "Mr. Ning, you are aware that Myriad Flowers Valley is an Alchemy Sect, and many have their sights set on annexing us."

"After the battle with Divine Tune Sect, the only Elders left in Myriad Flowers Valley are Sun Miao and myself, and the disciples have suffered heavy casualties."

"Those factions with ulterior motives will surely seize the opportunity to infiltrate, doing everything in their power to annex Myriad Flowers Valley."

"Only if you, Mr. Ning, become the Valley Master and watch over Myriad Flowers Valley, can we deter the petty intruders!"

Having said this, he too bowed deeply to Ning Fan.
