89: Stealing a home, a saint's obsession

Purple Cloud Mountain.

More and more people gathered here.

The powerhouses of the major Sects and Ancient Desolate Families had all arrived.

“The time for the Secret Realm to appear is getting closer and closer, but I wonder if this ordinary Purple Cloud Mountain really has a Secret Realm appearing?”

“Heavenly Secret Master’s Divine Calculation and Wonderful Prediction must be true.”

“That’s hard to say. This person sold a piece of information to so many of us; he must be greedy for wealth. It’s possible he’s using a fake Secret Realm to trick us out of our Spirit Stones.”

“If he dares to deceive me, I will surely tear down his Tianji Pavilion.”

“Even if I’m tricked, I’ll only lose one hundred million spirit stones. I heard someone bought this information for one hundred million spirit stones. If the Secret Realm is fake, that would be a huge loss.”

The Yun Family members, those big suckers, all looked terrible upon hearing this.

Their hatred for Heavenly Secret Master increased by another point.

Besides the Yun Family members, there was also Ye Lingtian.

A few days ago, Ye Lingtian also found Purple Cloud Mountain. Seeing so many people who came for the Secret Realm, and all of them having bought the information from Heavenly Secret Master, he was also very angry, thinking he had been played by Heavenly Secret Master.

When he learned that these people only spent one hundred million to get the Secret Realm information, he resented Heavenly Secret Master even more. Heavenly Secret Master was clearly treating him as a fat sheep to be slaughtered, a complete sucker.

At this moment, an injured man arrived at a mountain near Purple Cloud Mountain.

The man was Lu Yun.

He hid in the mountain to heal his injuries.

In just a few months, his Cultivation Level had already risen to the Mid-stage Profound Comprehension Realm.

Although he was only at the Mid-stage Profound Comprehension Realm Cultivation Level, his Foundation was extremely solid, and his strength far surpassed that of a Tong Xuan Peak Realm powerhouse.

Lu Yun cultivated the Chaos Heavenly Scripture and developed the Yin and Yang Eyes. The Yin and Yang Eyes could peer into Yin and Yang and the Origin of all things. He used his Yin and Yang Eyes to gamble on stones at the Stone Workshop, unearthing many treasures, which attracted envy and led to him being hunted.

Fortunately, he turned danger into safety.

Coincidentally, Lu Yun, who had fled after being injured, arrived near Purple Cloud Mountain, another heaven-sent Opportunity... Black Impermanence led a large group of Netherworld Sect powerhouses to the mountain range outside the Nangong Family.

Black Impermanence took action and activated the Nangong Family’s Barrier.

He had long sent people to capture members of the Nangong Family and knew the method to activate the Barrier.

The Barrier was activated.

“Kill!”

At Black Impermanence’s command, a large number of Netherworld Sect Disciples rushed into the Barrier.

Black Impermanence transformed into a black shadow and entered the Barrier.

As soon as they entered the Nangong Family, someone secretly snuck in right after them. This person was Jiang Yunfan, who had been waiting for a day.

Upon entering the Nangong Family, he saw Netherworld Sect Disciples and Nangong Family members clashing.

【Today’s Intelligence (Green): The Nangong Family Secret Realm is unguarded. The Nangong Family’s treasury is within the Secret Realm, containing billions of Spirit Stones and various Heaven And Earth Treasures (location has been transmitted).】

This was a great Opportunity to raid their home.

Jiang Yunfan activated the System map to find the location of the Secret Realm. After pinpointing the direction, he took out an earth evasion talisman and disappeared by burrowing into the ground.

Family Head, the Nangong Family’s Old Ancestor, glared at Black Impermanence, “Black Impermanence, why have you brought people to kill into my Nangong Family? My Nangong Family has never held a grudge against the Netherworld Sect.”

Black Impermanence sneered, “A man is innocent, but a treasure makes him guilty. Your Nangong Family has declined, yet you still possess a Saint medicine. This is the root of your misfortune.”

Hearing this, Family Head’s heart shook violently. How could Black Impermanence know that the Nangong Family had a Saint medicine? He immediately denied it, “My Nangong Family, though once an Ancient Desolate Family, has long since declined. How could there be a Saint medicine within the clan? It’s merely a rumor, and rumors cannot be trusted.”

Black Impermanence said, “I had people from the Tianji Sect calculate it, and it’s not a rumor. The Saint medicine is in your Nangong Family’s Forbidden Ground; it’s a flesh ganoderma growing on your Nangong Family’s Saint.”

At these words, Family Head could no longer remain calm. His face drastically changed; the Nangong Family’s secret, hidden for nearly ten thousand years, had been exposed.

If he knew that all of this was caused by Nangong Wentian, he would surely slap him to death in a fit of rage.

“If you know what’s good for you, hand over the flesh ganoderma, otherwise…”

“If you want the flesh ganoderma, then kill me first.”

Family Head charged at Black Impermanence.

“Overestimating yourself.”

Black Impermanence conjured the netherworld banner and waved it. A terrifying Netherworld Power instantly shattered Family Head’s attack. The Netherworld Power attacked Family Head, who quickly dodged it. Black Impermanence, holding the netherworld banner, charged at Family Head.

Jiang Yunfan emerged from the ground, appearing near the Secret Realm.

He noticed that Nangong Family members and Netherworld Sect Disciples were fighting fiercely nearby.

Jiang Yunfan struck first. He immediately conjured the soul-snatching bell. With a ring of the bell, both the Nangong Family members and Netherworld Sect Disciples screamed in agony. The soul-snatching bell flew towards the two, and its soul-snatching power forcibly extracted their Primordial Spirits and sucked them in.

The soul-snatching bell returned to Jiang Yunfan’s hand.

Seeing no one nearby, Jiang Yunfan immediately flew towards the Secret Realm.

He quickly arrived at the Secret Realm entrance.

The Secret Realm entrance was originally guarded by a Dharma Idol Realm Giant. Now, with the Nangong Family facing calamity, all Nangong Family members had gone to fight the Netherworld Sect, leaving the Secret Realm unguarded, which provided convenience for Jiang Yunfan.

Jiang Yunfan entered the Secret Realm.

Upon entering the Secret Realm, it was as if he had arrived in another world.

The Secret Realm was a Small World.

Dozens of large Spirit Stone mountains stood tall.

Jiang Yunfan was stunned.

“The Nangong Family truly deserved to be an Ancient Desolate Family; even a starving camel is bigger than a horse! But now, it benefits me.”

Jiang Yunfan hurriedly collected Spirit Stones. He only collected High-Grade Spirit Stones because his storage ring space was too small to hold too many. There were at least billions of Spirit Stones here, and even filling his several storage rings wouldn’t be enough.

The Nangong Family members would never have imagined that while they were fighting Netherworld Sect Disciples, someone was raiding their home.

“Great Luo Five Directions Seal.”

A giant five-colored palm print struck towards Black Impermanence.

The palm print contained the power of the Five Elements, and the Five Elements power was endlessly regenerating.

Break!

Black Impermanence held the netherworld banner to block the Great Luo Five Directions Seal.

Family Head did not hesitate to burn his own Origin to forcibly increase his strength. Although he could barely contend with Black Impermanence, he could not defeat him.

The two were in a stalemate.

Family Head’s strength began to wane.

Noticing Family Head’s weakening aura, Black Impermanence sneered. To end the battle quickly, he secretly conjured soul-destroying needles as fine as ox hair. He launched the soul-destroying needles.

The soul-destroying needles instantly struck Family Head.

Pfft!

Family Head’s Primordial Spirit suffered a heavy blow, and he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

The Great Luo Five Directions Seal was broken, and a surge of Netherworld Power struck Family Head. This blow completely took his life; the Netherworld Power devoured his remaining vitality.

His corpse fell from the sky.

“Old Ancestor!”

Nangong Wentian and others cried out in sorrow upon seeing their Old Ancestor’s death.

Black Impermanence did not go to kill Family Head and the others; he instantly disappeared.

Black Impermanence arrived outside the Nangong Family’s Forbidden Ground. The Forbidden Ground had a Barrier, which he shattered with a single palm strike.

Just as he was about to step into the Forbidden Ground, Nangong Bo, a Nangong Family Elder, blocked him, “If you want to enter the Forbidden Ground, step over my corpse first.”

“Great Profound Gold Sword Qi.”

Streaks of incredibly sharp Sword Qi shot towards Black Impermanence.

Each streak of Sword Qi contained Geng Gold Qi, which was indestructible, and even the Void Realm was pierced by the Sword Qi.

A surge of Law Power blocked the Great Profound Gold Sword Qi.

“Overestimating yourself.”

Black Impermanence used Law Power to shatter the Sword Qi, and his powerful Law Power forced Nangong Bo back.

Black Impermanence unleashed the Divine Ability Soul-Snatching Hand, grabbing with his bare hand. A terrifying Soul-Snatching Power seized Nangong Bo, forcibly pulling his Primordial Spirit from his Physical Body. His Primordial Spirit was crushed by Black Impermanence.

Nangong Bo died on the spot.

Black Impermanence entered the Forbidden Ground.

As Black Impermanence entered the Forbidden Ground, Jiang Yunfan arrived near the Forbidden Ground. He did not enter the Forbidden Ground, his gaze fixed intently on it.

Inside the Forbidden Ground.

Black Impermanence found the Nangong Family Saint’s tomb. He destroyed the tomb with a single palm strike, and the underground palace within the tomb collapsed. He used his Divine Sense to locate the Saint’s coffin, which was a cold ice tomb made of ten-thousand-year-old cold ice, preserving the Saint’s body for ten thousand years.

A ganoderma grew on the Saint’s body.

“It truly is a flesh ganoderma.”

Black Impermanence was overjoyed.

The flesh ganoderma could not only extend one’s lifespan but also contained fragments of Saint Law. If he obtained the flesh ganoderma, he would have a chance to break through to the Saint Realm.

The Saint’s coffin flew out from the underground palace.

Black Impermanence opened the cold ice coffin.

“Who dares to offend this Saint?”

A phantom appeared.

Black Impermanence’s face changed drastically.

The phantom struck with a finger, and Black Impermanence was sent flying by that single strike, directly out of the Forbidden Ground.

Pfft!

Black Impermanence suffered heavy injuries and vomited a large mouthful of blood.

He fled, dragging his heavily injured body.

The Opportunity had arrived.

Jiang Yunfan seized the chance to sneak into the Forbidden Ground.
