Chapter 284 -282 The Real Evil Spirit

The information Soul Searching Chang Kun yielded was immensely useful.

The Chang Family had indeed withdrawn from Qiushui Lake, yet most of the remaining cultivators were hidden within the Han Family, a cultivation family. The Han Family had taken substantial benefits from the Chang Family to shelter dozens of staunch Chang members, unaware that they had brought great disaster upon themselves. Even if Ning Daoran did not visit them personally, the Han Family’s ancestral wealth was likely to be slowly eroded. Given the Chang Family’s nature, taking over and replacing them was only a matter of time.

The location of the Han Family was a hundred miles east of Qiushui Lake in Luoye Valley.

Additionally, it was found that the current head of the Chang Family was indeed Chang Huaiming, that young master from years ago, at the Late-stage Foundation Establishment. After the fall of the False Core Ancestor, Chang Hao, Chang Huaiming started to manage all major affairs of the Chang Family.

And among the Chang Family, the only person qualified to maintain contact with the Nine Revolutions True Man was Chang Huaiming.

Plainly speaking, the Nine Revolutions True Man’s collaboration with the Chang Family aimed at profit. Being a Golden Core Cultivator, he could not manage many things personally. If he could establish Chang Huaiming as a puppet, then the entire Chang Family would become his tool for profiting.

Naturally, the Chang Family had their own needs as well. Chang Huaiming needed the support of the Nine Revolutions True Man to continue contending against Han Bing; otherwise, if Han Bing returned and struck back, destroying the Chang Family would be but a flick of a finger.

“Luoye Valley…”

Ning Daoran furrowed his brows, flicked his finger, and released a stream of Jianjia Sword Energy that decapitated Chang Kun, then turned into a tunneling light flying towards Luoye Valley.

…

Luoye Valley, a place of green mountains and clear waters.

However, buried underground was just a First-tier top-grade spiritual vein. It seemed that the Han Family’s foundation in cultivation was rather thin; otherwise, they wouldn’t have easily become the Chang Family’s shield.

Following the memory of Chang Kun, Ning Daoran crossed a lake using Water Escape and then headed deeper into Luoye Valley using Wood Escape along the mountain forest.

Atop a Green Peak, Cave Mansions densely covered the area.

This First-tier top-grade spiritual vein supported at least a hundred Cave Mansions, the Han Family was not just fishing a dried-up pond, they seemed to be desperately draining this vein.

At the peak of the mountain, there were two top-tier Cave Mansions, where the spiritual energy reached First-tier top-grade levels.

One served as the cultivation site for an Ancestor of the Han Family at the Early-stage Foundation Establishment, while the other was occupied by Chang Huaiming.

The Han Family really went to great lengths to ingratiate themselves with the Chang Family.

However, even a First-tier top-grade spiritual vein was insufficient for Chang Huaiming at the Late-stage Foundation Establishment. It was simply inadequate, which explained the necessity to regain control of the Qiushui Lake’s spiritual vein.

“Family Head, I have returned.”

Ning Daoran suppressed his voice, mimicking Chang Kun’s tone as he sent out a Sound Transmission Talisman.

“At last, you’re back!”

The prohibition of the Cave Mansion dissipated, and a young, lazy voice came out—it was Chang Huaiming, the one not seen for many years.

“Whoosh!”

A gold tunneling light erupted, and Ning Daoran instantly rushed into the Cave Mansion, releasing two Third-tier Restriction techniques to seal the Cave Mansion so that no news could leak out, intending that no one from the Chang Family would leave alive today!

“You…”

Within the Cave Mansion, Chang Huaiming abruptly rose from his recliner; the two beautiful concubines beside him screamed in fright, causing quite a ruckus.

“Fellow Daoist… oh no, Senior, what are you…”

Chang Huaiming’s face turned pale as he fully sensed Ning Daoran’s Golden Core Mid-stage spiritual pressure, with mana flow in his body disrupted, he felt a chill: “Senior… I don’t know what my Chang Family…”

“Stop yelling.”

Ning Daoran waved his hand, dispelling his disguise to revert to his original appearance, and said: “Young Master Chang, do you still remember I?”

“Ning…”

Chang Huaiming’s face turned deathly white: “You… you’re Ning Daoran from back then?! You… you… you… how are you now at the Golden Core Mid-stage? By all accounts… you should have died at the Early-stage Foundation Establishment, how could…”

“It’s good that you recognize me.”

Ning Daoran smiled and nodded. “Since you’ve identified me, I shall make my move. Surely, Young Master, you won’t feel unjustly treated at your death?”

“No… don’t…”

Chang Huaiming screamed: “Senior Ning, there has been a misunderstanding… it’s all a misunderstanding, I’ve always harbored only admiration for cousin Han Bing, never daring to disrespect her… please, senior, don’t kill me…”

“Tsch!”

With a gentle lift of his hand, a flicker of Liangyi Sword Technique’s energy whistled through the air, piercing directly through Chang Huaiming’s brow.

A Late-stage Foundation Establishment completely subdued by spiritual pressure—killing him didn’t even require the use of a treasure.

“Ah ah ah ah~~~”

The two concubines screamed in horror, making a deafening noise.

“Hmph!”

Ning Daoran glanced at them, thinking… these two concubines probably hadn’t committed any heinously evil acts, perhaps they could be spared…

But suddenly, recalling the scene between Song Jiang and Lady Liu Zhizhai from the TV series “New Water Margin,” he decided they couldn’t be spared—both women, having willingly served Chang Huaiming and shared his views for many years, were beyond redemption!

After two flashes of Jianjia Sword Light, the two concubines slowly fell.

Ning Daoran began to search the soul of Chang Huaiming, and with that search, everything became clear.

The Chang Family was waiting, waiting for Han Bing to return to Qiushui Lake and the Han Family, to seize the opportunity for the Nine Revolutions True Man to make a move.

Why did the Star Moon Pavilion and Steel Gate Sect initially help the Chaotic Sect? To put it plainly, it was because the Chaotic Sect still had Han Bing, a Golden Core, and some utilitarian value. If Han Bing were to fall, which so-called righteous Sect would care about the matters of Qiushui Lake?

These weaker Sects gathering together for warmth is also a way to survive!

Thus, the Nine Revolutions True Man actually didn’t leave.

Using his superior Escape Skills, he kept hiding around Qiushui Lake’s Han Family, and every now and then, he would strike, killing the people of the Han Family to force Han Bing to return to Qiushui Lake.

As long as Han Bing returns, the Nine Revolutions True Man will use all his power to kill Han Bing, and then it would be a natural course for the Chang Family to retake Qiushui Lake.

And once the Chang Family retakes Qiushui Lake, occupies the Spirit Veins, and controls the Green Bamboo Square, they will continuously supply the Nine Revolutions True Man with Spirit Stones. The Spirit Stones of Qiushui Lake are like night grass for this Golden Core Independent Practitioner!

“What a ruthless Chang Family…”

Ning Daoran frowned slightly, If he hadn’t returned this time, the Young Junior Sister might have really been gone, which would truly have been a lifelong regret.

“Good, very good…”

As Ning Daoran performed the Soul Search, he imprinted the appearance of every descendant of the Chang Family in his memory.

If he didn’t take action now, once he did, he would make sure to eradicate them entirely, leaving no future troubles for the Young Junior Sister and the Han Family.

Thus, Ning Daoran raised his hand, releasing a total of twenty Class A Paperfolk and over a hundred Class B Paperfolk, transferring the appearances of the Chang Family’s descendants from his Divine Soul’s memory to the numerous Paperfolk. With a wave of his hand, he commanded, “Go, leave none behind, but do not miskill. Do not touch the people of the Wang Family.”

A group of Paperfolk rushed out of the Cave Mansion.

Ning Daoran also transformed into a golden Tunneling Light and sped out of the Cave Mansion. With a light tremor of his palm in the air, a golden Spiritual Pressure radiance spread out from him like golden ripples, in a blink of an eye enveloping the entire mountain and even the whole Luoye Valley.

At this moment, the twenty-first layer of the Eternal Green Technique inside him operated at high power with a roaring noise!

In the valley, countless cultivators rushed out of their Cave Mansions, all feeling an immense pressure on their shoulders. Looking up, they felt the person in the sky was like a deity!

“Senior…”

The Wang Family’s Ancestor knelt down with a thud, “I do not know where my Wang Family has offended the Senior, my Wang Family is willing…”

“This matter does not concern the Wang Family!”

Ning Daoran’s voice resounded like heavenly music: “This time, I am solely here to eliminate the descendants of the Chang Family; all cultivators of the Wang Family need not worry, my subordinates will not harm you in the slightest!”

“Many…many thanks, Senior…”

The Wang Family’s Ancestor kowtowed repeatedly, his back already drenched in fear, having almost thought his family was about to be annihilated.

…

In the mountains, cries of agony echoed continuously.

Class A and Class B Paperfolk showed no mercy, the descendants of the Chang Family screamed endlessly, all being slaughtered.

Hatred is one of the great evils of this world.

There are many ways to resolve hatred, assimilation through gentle methods is naturally the best, but it takes too much time and costs too much, hence another method is most effective – completely annihilate one side, utterly eradicate them.

In this way, the hatred is naturally resolved.

Now, Ning Daoran was using this method.

Half an hour later, with the Paperfolk’s actions, the descendants of the Chang Family that Ning Daoran remembered were erased one by one from his mind, but there were still a few hiding.

“Hmph…”

He glanced at the Wang Family’s Ancestor: “I originally didn’t want to involve your Wang Family, but it seems your Wang Family is taking chances, still hiding a few Chang Family members. Are you trying to force me to completely eradicate your Wang Family as well?”

“What are you waiting for?”

The Wang Family’s Ancestor shouted with a sobbing tone: “Which bastard still dares to hide Chang Family members, do they no longer wish to live? Bring them all out immediately, it’s your own death, don’t drag the entire Wang Family down!!!”

Immediately after, several young disciples of the Wang Family looked at each other, returning to the Cave Mansion and then brought out several Chang Family women, all in the prime of their beauty.

“You evil spirit…”

Among them, a Female cultivator of the Chang Family with a third-grade spiritual root gritted her teeth and said: “Unless you kill all of the Chang Family, this debt will surely be settled by the descendants of the Chang Family!”

“Evil spirit?”

Ning Daoran frowned: “You call me an evil spirit? Well then, let me show you a real evil spirit.”

Saying so, he waved the Green Ghost Flag, and the Golden Core stage Green-clothed Lady appeared.

The Green-clothed Evil Ghost opened its huge gaping mouth, pitch-black inside, and instantly swallowed the Blood Essence, Life Soul of that Chang Family woman, the method was extremely cruel, resembling scenes from many horror films.

After swallowing the Life Soul, the Green-clothed Evil Ghost wiped its mouth corner, and with a change of style, it then showed a charmingly pitiful expression towards Ning Daoran.

Ning Daoran felt a chill in his heart.

Raising his hand, several Jianjia Sword Energies flew out, slashing the last few Chang Family women!

…

The next target was the Nine Revolutions True Man lurking near Qiushui Lake.
