Chapter 1530 - 1519: Family Slayer
Ten minutes later, Ning Fan finally left the place.Within a few miles, he did not sense any strange aura; the Hu Family Patriarch had completely disappeared.
"It's finally over."
Ning Fan could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Today's battle, forcing a Heavenly Gang Realm into a corner, was enough to make him proud for a while.
"Luckily, I had this Divine Power."
Recalling the scene where he was ambushed, Ning Fan felt a wave of gratitude.
The Divine Power not only neutralized the poison but could also be used like True Qi at his command.
This was how he determined the outcome of the battle; the Divine Dragon formed from the Divine Power swept through, killing the Soaring Snake and the Hu Family Patriarch.
Divine Power can enhance the body and heal various injuries, but most importantly, it is immensely powerful.
The Gang Qi of the Heavenly Gang Realm seems as flimsy as paper in its presence.
Several times, Ning Fan narrowly escaped danger, all thanks to the Divine Power.
Thinking about this, Ning Fan felt a surge of heroic spirit, but then fortune turned to misfortune.
Not long after, the golden sheen on Ning Fan's body began to fade, and the Divine General effect was about to end.
The torrent of Divine Power once again turned into fine threads of Divine Power, silently lurking within his body.
After several attempts to control it with his mind without success, Ning Fan had to give up.
"Though the Divine Power is great, I still can't control it at will."
Ning Fan had a premonition that the reason for this might be related to his low cultivation level.
"One day, the Divine Power will surely obey my command."
On the way back, Ning Fan quickly let it go.
"It's good that the Divine General effect ended. At least I don't have to be a golden man."
Thinking of his appearance, Ning Fan felt a vague sense of shyness.
If outsiders discovered this, they'd surely want to dissect him for research.
Seeing the devastated manor, Ning Fan felt a sting in his heart.
He had long considered the manor his own treasure.
Even though he intentionally led the battle away from here, the antique manor was still one-third destroyed.
"What a wastrel! This could be considered an artifact."
Walking slowly along the corridor, Ning Fan sensed the surrounding aura and found quite a few living people.
After more than four hours, Ning Fan searched the entire manor.
During this time, Ning Fan found eight small wooden rooms filled with Gu Insects and hapless innocents being used as vessels.
By liberating these innocents from their misery,
the joy Ning Fan felt from eradicating the Hu Family subtly turned into a sense of heaviness.
"These heartless beasts. Using these girls as living vessels is unforgivable, even after a thousand deaths."
Recalling what had happened earlier, Ning Fan realized all the vessels were young girls.
Ning Fan did not know that the Hu Family's choice of girls was not due to their tenderness or ease of control.
In this poison-infested valley, even ordinary Martial Artists would struggle to escape.
But girls, with their tender skin, were easier for the Gu Insects to feed on.
Seeing the girls' plight, Ning Fan unleashed his wrath along the way.
Every poisonous creature in the manor, from Gu Insects to ordinary venomous creatures, was crushed by him.
Even the ants on the ground were not spared.
He fulfilled his earlier vow: not a soul in the Hu Family, not even a dog, would survive unscathed.
In short, Ning Fan wanted to leave the Hu Family with nothing.
Ning Fan searched thoroughly, leaving no room unchecked.
Besides the living venomous creatures, he also didn't spare any dead objects.
In some rooms, Ning Fan found many of the Hu Family's secret manuals, both on cultivation and Gu Raising.
Without exception, Ning Fan burned all such books without leaving a trace.
No matter how mystical the Hu Family's cultivation techniques were, or if they could make someone Undying and Indestructible, Ning Fan wouldn't give them a second glance.
Thus, apart from this manor, every trace of the Hu Family disappeared without a trace in this Hundred Flowers Valley.
A millennium-old family, with a Heavenly Gang Realm master and over ten in the Aerial Mastery Realm, vanished quietly.
At this moment, Ning Fan's expression turned strange, "Could I be some kind of family annihilator or family nemesis?"
Come to think of it, since his debut, the number of families Ning Fan had wiped out was almost in the double digits.
Recalling the reasons for conflicts with these families, Ning Fan's face darkened, "If there are any bratty descendants, I'd break their legs."
After erasing the Hu Family's presence, Ning Fan stood in a courtyard of a four-sided house.
Ning Fan said calmly, "Come out."
He sensed the faint aura of several survivors here,
the aura was weak and unlike that of a Martial Artist, so he hadn't noticed immediately.
Now the valley was silent, devoid of life, making the concentrated aura like fireflies in the dark.
Soon after, a group of young maidens emerged from an eastern wing of the courtyard.
There were eight girls in total, all young and beautiful, dressed uniformly.
The eight young girls trembled as they came out of the room, and upon seeing Ning Fan, they immediately knelt down and said, "The maids pay respects to the great master."
Hearing these titles, three black lines appeared on Ning Fan's forehead; he waved his hand and said calmly, "Stand up and speak."
Looking at the eight girls before him, Ning Fan pointed to one of them, "You, explain the situation."
"This maid's name is Ziyun, and I do not know what the great master wishes to know."
The girl named Ziyun, although fearful, was relatively composed compared to the other women, not shaking like a leaf.
This was why Ning Fan chose her.
"Tell me, who are you all, and why are you here?"
From Ziyun's account, Ning Fan learned the truth of the situation.
These eight girls, along with the ones who fed the Gu Insects earlier, were all kidnapped by the Hu Family from across the country.
Initially, they were brought here to serve as maids, only being taken to feed the Gu Insects when they made mistakes.
Under the Hu Family's harsh rules, over time, only these eight remained.
The four-sided house where Ning Fan stood was their living quarters.
Upon hearing the explosions, fearing the Hu Family's strict rules, the eight dared not go anywhere else, only huddling together in the room.
"So that's how it is."
Finished speaking, Ning Fan's eyes flickered like lightning as he looked at the eight, nodding to himself, "This seems to be the truth."
The girls showed no signs of cultivation or Gu Insect implantation.
Ning Fan turned to ask, "Is it the same for all of you?"
"Yes."
"Yes."
...
The remaining girls nodded eagerly like pecking chicks.
"Great master, may I know who you are..."
Seeing Ziyun hesitating, Ning Fan smiled, "What do you want to know?"
This simple question frightened Ziyun into kneeling, "The maid dares not."
If the Hu Family members were here, Ziyun dared not speak up.
Looking at the unfamiliar young man in front of her, and thinking of the explosions earlier, Ziyun, worried about her future, finally gathered the courage.
