The next day, Lin Fan took Mu Shiyu and Mu Shixue and left the Divine Firmament Realm.

Today, Lin Fan was going to take the two of them to the Fire Cloud Sect to exact revenge.

During this time, Lin Fan had gained a decent understanding of the forces in Qingyun Prefecture.

The Fire Cloud Sect was one of the four major Sect forces within the borders of Qingyun Prefecture.

Within Qingyun Prefecture, the other three Sect forces of equal renown were: the Cloud Elegance Sect, the Xuan Yuan Sect, and the Azure Nether Valley.

Besides these, there were also the Three Great Families: the Li, Wang, and He families.

The strongest experts of these seven major forces were all at the Late Stage of the Qi Sea Realm.

Next, there was the official power of the Zhao State in Qingyun Prefecture.

The strongest person in the entire Qingyun Prefecture was naturally the Prefecture Governor.

It was said that the Prefecture Governor had been in seclusion for many years, attempting to make a breakthrough to the Purple Mansion Realm.

As for whether a breakthrough had been achieved, the outside world had no way of knowing.

Besides Qingyun City where the Prefecture Governor resided, there were three other major cities: Changning City, Raoping City, and Laihua City.

Each of these three cities had a City Lord at the Late Stage of the Qi Sea Realm guarding it.

At the same time, the jurisdiction of each of these three cities reached over 30 million square kilometers.

The combined area of the three cities exceeded 100 million square kilometers, occupying half of the territory of Qingyun Prefecture.

The largest was naturally Qingyun City, with a jurisdiction reaching 5000 square kilometers.

And the City Lord of Qingyun City was precisely the younger brother of the Prefecture Governor.

His strength was at the Qi Sea Realm Perfection.

With two experts at the Qi Sea Realm Perfection holding the fort, naturally no one in Qingyun Prefecture could shake the position of the Prefecture Governor's Clan.

The Fire Cloud Sect, where Lin Fan and the others were heading, was within the jurisdiction of Changning City.

Once the Fire Cloud Sect was destroyed, they could just head to Changning City to deal with those Three Great Families.

Myriad Phenomena City was tens of thousands of li away from the Fire Cloud Sect.

However, with Lin Fan's current strength, it only took him a quarter of an hour to bring Mu Shixue and Mu Shiyu above the Fire Cloud Sect.

Luo Cang, the Young Sect Master of the Fire Cloud Sect, did not know that his crisis had arrived.

He was currently up to no good in his residence.

Before Luo Cang stood a young woman, looking at him with a face full of anger.

This woman had been sent to him early in the morning by Deacon Liao Chen.

To capture this woman, the Fire Cloud Sect had gone to great lengths.

Because this woman's identity was not simple.

She was Ye Ningshuang, the youngest disciple of the Cloud Elegance Sect Shifu, Gu Nanxi.

She possessed mysterious grade - supreme quality Aptitude and, at the age of 23, had already Cultivated to the Origin Opening Realm Perfection.

She was expected to attempt a breakthrough to the Qi Sea Realm by the age of 25.

Being so gifted and intelligent, she was naturally deeply loved by her Shifu, Gu Nanxi.

Yet, Ye Ningshuang never expected that she would be ambushed by people from the Fire Cloud Sect while simply out on a Sect mission.

To capture her, the Fire Cloud Sect had dispatched six Elders at the Origin Opening Realm Perfection.

"Luo Cang, what are you trying to do? My Shifu is the Sect Master of the Cloud Elegance Sect!"

"If you dare to harm me, our Cloud Elegance Sect will definitely go to war with your Fire Cloud Sect!"

She had heard of Luo Cang's reputation and was filled with disgust for such a person.

But now, her cultivation was under a Seal, and she couldn't resist even if she wanted to.

"Haha, Ye Ningshuang, I have wanted to possess you for a long time. It's a pity I couldn't find an opportunity before, but this time, you won't escape!"

"As for whether your Cloud Elegance Sect will go to war with our Fire Cloud Sect, you don't need to worry about that!"

"Your Shifu doesn't even know you've fallen into my hands, so naturally, she won't go to war with my Fire Cloud Sect for no reason!"

"So you had better behave obediently; that will reduce some of the pain!"

Hearing Luo Cang's words, Ye Ningshuang was filled with despair.

Just as Luo Cang said, her Shifu did not know she had fallen into the hands of the Fire Cloud Sect.

There was almost no possibility of her being rescued.

With her cultivation currently under a Seal, she couldn't even leave this place; this was practically a dead end.

"Luo Cang, your Fire Cloud Sect is truly despicable. If you have the ability, undo my Seal and have a real duel with me!"

"As long as you win against me, I will have nothing left to say, and I will sincerely follow you then!"

Her saying this was naturally a delaying tactic.

Without her cultivation restored, she had no possibility of escaping at all.

If Luo Cang agreed, perhaps she could find an opportunity to escape.

Although the hope of escaping was very slim, this was the only method she could think of.

"Haha..." Luo Cang was amused by Ye Ningshuang's naivety.

"Ye Ningshuang, are you stupid? I only want to possess your body, not your heart, so why would I waste that much effort?"

"Besides, have you seen any woman by my side who could live for more than a year?"

"You don't think I've developed feelings for you, do you?"

"Let me tell you, you are just a tool for me to improve my Aptitude."

Luo Cang's voice was cold; at this moment, he was not far from falling into the Demonic path.

In his mind right now, he was only thinking about how to quickly improve his Aptitude.

As for romantic feelings, he had never considered them.

"Luo Cang, you actually Cultivated a Demonic Art?"

At this very moment, Ye Ningshuang understood Luo Cang's purpose.

It was obvious that Luo Cang wanted to use Harvesting on her to improve his Aptitude.

"So what if I did?!" Luo Cang admitted it directly.

Ye Ningshuang had already become meat on his chopping block; what did it matter if she knew his purpose?

He enjoyed seeing Ye Ningshuang's fearful appearance.

The more fearful Ye Ningshuang was, the more excited he became.

Indeed, seeing Luo Cang admit it, Ye Ningshuang's heart was instantly filled with despair.

"Haha, you're scared, aren't you? The more scared you are, the more I like it!"

As he spoke, Luo Cang slowly approached Ye Ningshuang.

"Luo Cang, I curse you to die a horrible death!" Ye Ningshuang cursed while frantically retreating backward.

"Haha, as long as I use Harvesting on you, my Aptitude will be able to reach the Earth Grade Low-Rank."

"With the Earth Grade Low-Rank Aptitude, my strength will be able to advance by leaps and bounds in a short time."

"Once I breakthrough to the Qi Sea Realm, I'd like to see who in Qingyun Prefecture can kill me!"

"Oh... is that so? Then do you think our sisters can kill you?"

Hearing a strange yet somewhat familiar voice from behind, Luo Cang was startled.

"Who is it?" Luo Cang exclaimed, then hurriedly turned around.

"What, it's only been a year, and you don't recognize us anymore?" Mu Shixue sneered.

"What, it's actually you two!"

"How could you appear here?"

Luo Cang looked at the two, then glanced at Lin Fan, his eyes filled with vigilance.

At the same time, he secretly crushed a jade talisman in his hand.

This was used to send information to his mother.

Once the jade talisman was shattered, his mother would be able to sense that he had encountered danger and would quickly come to save him.

Luo Cang was not stupid; if the three could appear here without making a sound, then the opponent at least had the strength of the Qi Sea Realm.

And not just an ordinary Qi Sea Realm expert.

Because his mother was at the Qi Sea Realm Early Stage.

The three were able to evade his mother and appear here.

This meant that the opponent was very likely to possess the strength of the Mid-stage Qi Sea Realm.

He knew the strength of Mu Shiyu and Mu Shixue; back then, they were only at the Origin Opening Realm Early Stage.

Even if their talent was strong, they could at most be at the Origin Opening Realm Middle Stage now.

In any case, he did not believe that the two could have improved to the Qi Sea Realm in such a short time.

Therefore, he concluded that the two being able to appear here must be because of this man before him.

At this moment, Luo Cang's eyes, looking at Lin Fan, were filled with wariness.
