Chapter 1331: Chapter 1320: Leaving the Celestial Clan
Under the bright moonlight, gazing at Hai Boding’s corpse, the entire venue was plunged into a deathly silence, every person was dumbfounded.
After a moment, Tian Xuan suddenly shouted, “It’s him. It’s really him. He is really dead.”
Hai Boding is dead! The Damocles Sword hanging over the Celestial Clan has finally disappeared.
The people present hadn’t recovered from this happy news, only to be stirred again by another sentence, causing waves of shock in their hearts.
Seeing the crowd remain silent, Tian Wu puzzledly said, “Didn’t Mr. Ning tell you? Hai Boding has already been killed by him.”
Slap! Everyone present turned their necks, directing their gaze towards Ning Fan, no one said a word, all silently digesting this shocking information.
“Re… really Mr. Ning who did it?”
The stammering words completely expressed the shock in Tian Xuan’s heart.
This was Hai Boding! A master nearly at the Peak of Aerial Mastery, who didn’t even have a chance to escape before being killed.
At this moment, Tian Xuan’s eyes were dull, with his worldview shattered, unable to accept this fact.
An individual at the Initial Stage of Aerial Mastery was actually able to slay someone at the Aerial Mastery Peak.
Yet, the corpse lying before them was so real.
“Indeed.”
Tian Wu nodded, then excitedly said, “Not only that. Mr. Ning’s single strike even sank Sea Emperor Island.”
Hiss…
The sound of drawing in a breath sharply, seemingly forming a mini-whirlwind, with the storm’s center being Mr. Ning himself.
At this moment, countless people’s minds were all imagining a scene,
Under Ning Fan’s earth-shattering strike, Sea Emperor Island instantly turned to dust, disappearing without a trace.
But…
Everyone present racked their brains, yet with their knowledge, they really couldn’t imagine what means Ning Fan used to sink an island.
“This is an island, not a small dirt mound. I’m afraid even a missile salvo can’t destroy it.”
“Is he still human? This isn’t something a human could do.”
“Could Mr. Ning be of the legendary Dragon Clan?”
“Fortunately, we resolved the misunderstanding with Mr. Ning, otherwise Dragon Hidden Mountain would cease to exist.”
Hearing this, Tian Xuan’s complexion changed, showing a pale face, and his heart filled with fear.
What use is the barrier on Dragon Hidden Mountain? Doesn’t Sea Emperor Island have one too?
Since Ning Fan has the power to sink Sea Emperor Island, wouldn’t it take him no time to level Dragon Hidden Mountain?
“Thank goodness! Thank goodness! Mr. Ning is on our side.”
The comforting thought hadn’t passed a second before Tian Xuan’s complexion changed again, suddenly recalling he misunderstood Mr. Ning’s intentions.
With a swallow running through his throat, Tian Xuan cautiously approached Ning Fan, forced a bitter smile and said, “Mr. Ning, why didn’t you say so earlier?”
“Oh!”
Ning Fan raised his eyebrows and said lightly, “Didn’t I tell you before? To prepare yourself mentally.”
Earlier, the self-directed drama in Tian Xuan’s mind, fighting air battles, especially paired with this current constipated look, made Ning Fan secretly enjoying it thoroughly.
“I…”
At this moment, Tian Xuan truly had grievances that couldn’t be expressed. If he had known this kind of mental preparation earlier, he wouldn’t have embarrassed himself, nor had this situation.
In the end! A thousand words turned into a single sentence.
Tian Xuan cupped his fists and said, “Mr. Ning, this old man concedes, truly concedes.”
“That’s all it took.”
Ning Fan smiled slightly, seemingly muttering to himself, “There’s still a real Aerial Mastery Peak on Sea Emperor Island.”
“What!”
Tian Xuan was instantly petrified, this was the first time he had heard such news.
Not just near Peak, but truly Aerial Mastery Peak.
A slight difference in terms, but it means a tenfold difference in power.
And Ning Fan was still fighting two people alone, a one-on-two duel.
Someone at the Initial Stage of Aerial Mastery, slaying two peak masters, who would believe such a thing if it were told? Yet here it stands.
As for whether Ning Fan was boasting, trying to trick him?
Tian Xuan wouldn’t even consider this possibility.
Hai Boding’s body lies here, Sea Emperor Island has sunk into the sea.
This is the evident result of the battle, sensational enough if spread.
With Ning Fan’s status and bearing, there was no need to boast, continuing to laud himself.
Sea Emperor Island surely has another Peak Master of Aerial Mastery, and this information, the Celestial Clan never knew.
“Without the clan leader’s protection, if the Sea Clan’s two masters had fully emerged, wouldn’t the Celestial Clan face annihilation?”
Thinking of this, Tian Xuan’s heart was like waves churning, hard to calm, “Fortunately. The Sea Clan is now a thing of the past.”
At this moment, Tian Xuan cupped hands again and bowed, “Mr. Ning, dare I ask your true cultivation?”
“Haven’t you already known? Initial Stage of Aerial Mastery.”
“This…”
Tian Xuan couldn’t help but show a slight bitter smile, displaying a look even sadder than crying, pointing to his old face, he asked, “Do you think I would believe that?”
Ning Fan shrugged and said, “Whether you believe it or not? I believe it regardless.”
“Uh!”
Tian Xuan’s gaze was momentarily dazed, then realizing his mistake, apologized quickly, “Mr. Ning, please forgive this old man’s foolishness, asking what shouldn’t be asked.”
In martial cultivation, doesn’t everyone have an unknown trump card?
This was a life-saving matter, naturally, it wouldn’t be easily revealed.
For someone like Tian Xuan who didn’t understand the rules, trying to pry indiscreetly, with a bad temper, one might have drawn a blade and charged already.
“I won’t say more to you. We’ll be leaving first.”
Seeing Xu Xiaoqing with her cheeks puffed like a frog, Ning Fan felt a headache.
When Hai Boding’s body appeared, this clever little girl quickly realized she was deceived, sulking with her lips pouted.
If it weren’t for Tian Xuan coming over to speak, Ning Fan’s sleeve would’ve been torn apart.
“Mr. Ning, where are you going?”
“Are you inviting me for a meal?”
Ning Fan chuckled awkwardly, then his face grew serious, and he said slowly, “Or are you still planning on having Xu Xiaoqing be your clan leader?”
“Dare not. Mister misunderstood.”
Tian Xuan shook his head like a rattle drum, then sincerely said,
“Mr. Ning has a life-saving grace towards my clan, even if we are shattered into pieces, it’s hard to repay such kindness, how could we still entertain such delusions.”
“As it’s now late, this old man humbly requests Mr. Ning to honor us with a stay overnight, expressing a mere token of our Celestial clan’s gratitude.”
“Well then!”
Looking up at the star-studded night sky, Ning Fan glanced at Xu Xiaoqing, then nodded, “Then let’s see how you arrange it!”
“Certainly!” Tian Xuan excitedly extended his hand invitingly, “Please, Mr. Ning.”
Watching Ning Fan walk over slowly, the surrounding Celestial people parted like waves, creating a passage in the middle.
No one dared to make noise, everyone lowered their bodies, gazing upwards in a mountain-revering manner, clarity and gratitude in their eyes.
The fall of Sea Emperor Island signified the disappearance of the Celestial Clan’s age-old enemy.
And this was all brought about by this handsome young man in front of them.
