Chapter 1309: Chapter 1298: Ning Fan Annihilates the Sea Clan
“Ning Fan, where did those people from the Celestial Clan go?” Xu Xiaoqing asked curiously, seeing everyone responding to Tian Xuan’s call with expressions of grave concern.
“I’m not too sure either,” Ning Fan said helplessly, shaking his head. “But I did hear the Great Elder Tian Xuan mention something about the Sea Clan to them… Do you know what the Sea Clan is?”
“I’ve heard the Great Elder talk about it,” Xu Xiaoqing nodded, thought for a moment, and then said, “During this time, the Great Elder has mentioned a lot to persuade me to stay in the Celestial Clan as the clan leader, and the Sea Clan was one of them.”
“It’s said that the Sea Clan is a neighbor of the Celestial Clan. The Sea people live in the ocean outside, but their ambitions are vast. They want to make the Celestial Clan submit to them.”
“Only because of the presence of the Celestial Clan Leader in the past, the Sea Clan never succeeded.”
“But now that the clan leader has passed away, the Great Elder alone cannot protect the territory of the Celestial Clan, so they want to elect a clan leader. Only the clan leader can activate the Celestial Clan’s protective formation!”
“Is it the same formation that was used against me?” Ning Fan asked somewhat puzzled, feeling that although the formation was strong, it was not all-powerful and at least had no effect on him.
“No, that was just part of the protective formation. It’s said that the entire territory of the Celestial Clan is covered by the formation!” Xu Xiaoqing shook her head and said, “And it’s very powerful, but how powerful exactly, I don’t quite understand.”
Ning Fan nodded. Xu Xiaoqing was just an ordinary person, she didn’t understand those realms of cultivation, and naturally didn’t know the power of the protective formation.
“Never mind, let’s not worry about that,” Ning Fan waved his hand and said, “We’ll take this chance while they’re confronting the Sea Clan to leave here quickly. Otherwise, it might be troublesome to leave later.”
“Okay,” Xu Xiaoqing nodded in agreement.
Ning Fan reached out to hold Xu Xiaoqing’s body. As his arms encircled her, Xu Xiaoqing’s body trembled slightly, and her pretty face instantly turned crimson.
“What’s wrong?” Ning Fan felt Xu Xiaoqing’s trembling and asked in confusion.
“Nothing… nothing,” Xu Xiaoqing hurriedly shook her head in denial.
“Hold tight!” Ning Fan instructed Xu Xiaoqing.
Upon hearing Ning Fan’s reminder, Xu Xiaoqing disregarded her nervousness and gripped Ning Fan’s clothes tightly.
Ning Fan, holding Xu Xiaoqing, dashed towards the edge of the stone platform, leaping into the air like a nimble bird.
However, Ning Fan did not fly through the air, considering that flying in the sky would make him too conspicuous, and if Tian Xuan noticed, it would be troublesome.
Ning Fan descended straightforwardly to the ground, landing easily with Xu Xiaoqing in his arms, and sprinted towards the forest.
Ning Fan moved rapidly, carrying Xu Xiaoqing with the agility of a monkey, swiftly navigating through the forest, heading outwards.
However, just as Ning Fan reached the outskirts of the forest, he suddenly sensed a strong wave of True Qi emanating from ahead.
“Could it be that Tian Xuan and the Sea Clan are battling right up ahead?” Ning Fan squinted his eyes and murmured softly.
“What’s wrong, Ning Fan?” Xu Xiaoqing, in Ning Fan’s embrace, felt him stop, so she looked up and asked.
“Up ahead is the battle zone between the Celestial Clan and the Sea Clan,” Ning Fan said softly. “We must skirt around them now, or we’ll attract their attention.”
“Okay,” Xu Xiaoqing nodded obediently.
Just as Ning Fan was about to turn and run in another direction, a figure suddenly crashed to the ground beside him.
“Great Elder Tian Xuan?” Ning Fan couldn’t help but exclaim upon seeing the person who fell to the ground.
“You…” Tian Xuan, clutching his chest, slowly stood up, couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
Ning Fan frowned. With his eyesight, he naturally saw that Tian Xuan was already seriously injured.
As Ning Fan was about to speak, a person slowly flew down from the sky. This person was unlike an ordinary human, with some fish scales next to his cheeks, looking quite eerie.
“Heh, Tian Xuan, how are you so weak now?” the man stared at Tian Xuan, sneering, “You’re too pathetic! Your Celestial Clan should just submit to our Sea Clan, or face destruction!”
“Dream on, we’ll never submit to your Sea Clan!” Tian Xuan glared coldly at the man and said.
“If you choose not to submit, then don’t blame me for the slaughter!” the Sea Clan man sneered. “And your Celestial Clan’s young miss, I hear she’s quite the beauty! Heh, I intend to take her back to warm my bed.”
“Spit! You’re dreaming!” Tian Xuan was so enraged that he trembled, glaring at the Sea Clan man and said, “If you dare lay a finger on her, I’ll make sure you die a horrible death!”
“Heh, Tian Xuan, you think you can still threaten me?” the peculiar man gazed at Tian Xuan and said, “Your strongest are only at the early Aerial Mastery Realm, how can you compare with us Sea Clan?”
“If not for your Celestial Clan leader before, you’d have been annexed by us long ago!”
“It’s a pity, though, your leader is gone, and no one can protect your Celestial Clan anymore!” the Sea Clan man expressed a false sense of pity.
Tian Xuan trembled with rage, but inside he felt helpless. He was severely injured, and the Sea Clan opponent was in peak condition; he was no match.
“I can protect the Celestial Clan.”
Just as Tian Xuan did not know how to respond, a calm voice came from the side, reaching the ears of both Tian Xuan and the Sea Clan man.
“Who is it?” The Sea Clan man’s face fell, and he asked in a cold voice.
“It’s me.” Ning Fan, holding Xu Xiaoqing, slowly stepped forward to face the Sea Clan man, saying, “Do you have any objections?”
“Who are you?” the Sea Clan man looked Ning Fan up and down, puzzled, having never seen him before and feeling very curious.
This Sea Clan man prided himself on having fought with all the major powers of the Celestial Clan but couldn’t recall who Ning Fan was.
“Who I am is none of your business,” Ning Fan replied coolly. “But I advise your Sea Clan to leave the Celestial Clan’s territory now, or face merciless slaughter!”
