Fantasy: I m Really Not A Supreme Master! - Chapter 163

Chapter 163: Chapter 148: The Grace of the Demon Monarchi Heavenly Realm!

Southern Territory, a small mountain village.

“Thank you, Big Brother, for your help; this sister has already solved it.”

Xinning gracefully bowed to Li Fan.

“No need to be polite,”

Li Fan, however, smiled and said, “Come, I’ll teach you a new poem.”

He picked up a brush, and his writing flowed like a dragon or snake across the rice paper, swiftly inscribing a poem!

“Clenching tight to the green mountain, never loosening grip, roots are deep, entrenched in cracked rock.”

“Though ground down a thousand times, the strength remains, unyielding to winds from all directions.”

Xinning, following Li Fan, read the whole poem, and a trace of wonder appeared in her large eyes!

This poem was different from the ones Li Fan typically taught her.

In the past, Li Fan mostly taught her poems that were refined and full of interest, to cultivate her body and mind.

But this one carried a spirit of generous and impassioned purpose!

“Xinning, do you know why I’m teaching you this poem?”

Li Fan inquired.

Xinning shook her head and said, “Xinning does not know.”

Li Fan gently stroked her hair on the forehead and said:

“I hope you can forever guard your own heart.”

“In life, one always faces various setbacks and tribulations; one sees all kinds of treachery and venom, yet there is always need for a spirit unblemished by the mud, a moral integrity unsullied by filth!”

“Just like the bamboo rooting on the mountain, embedded in the rock, never giving up, never admitting defeat!”

He worried that Xinning, after experiencing the evils of the human heart, would lose her innate purity.

After all, buried in the midst of nobility, persecuted by sisters, and displaced to this mountain village­

in such circumstances, even an originally good child can easily become twisted!

Li Fan wanted to use this poem to help her solidify a kind heart!

Upon hearing this, a light of sudden understanding flickered in Xinning’s large eyes!

“Though ground down a thousand times, the strength remains, unyielding to winds from all directions…”

“Unblemished by the mud, unsullied by filth…”

She murmured to herself, seeming to understand something…

“Big Brother is teaching me poetry to help me shed the demon nature within me, isn’t he?”

At this moment, she seemed to grasp the painstaking intent behind Li Fan’s actions over this period…

“Is it because he’s worried that after merging with other Primeval Souls, I might lose myself and turn into a cruel and brutal monster…?’1

Thinking thus, she suddenly became vigilant, realizing that the newly absorbed Primeval Souls could easily influence her self!

“I must refine them and must not let my mind be affected by them!”

She made up her mind!

“Miss Gong Ya, the task is completed.”

At that moment, outside the small courtyard, a voice suddenly came through.

It was Jing Mie’s!

At these words, a look of tense anticipation flashed through Gong Ya’s beautiful eyes!

Jing Mie’s return to report meant that the bait had finally caught some fish!

Xinning also showed a slight smile; she turned to Li Fan and said:

“Big Brother, you helped me with my sister’s issues this morning. I took the chance and called over my other seven sisters; I’ll go out and settle this matter, and then I will come back, is that okay—”

Having devoured another Primeval Soul, her strength had greatly increased, and she could easily deal with the other souls, with two Demon Marshals assisting her; thus, she decided not to rely on Li Fan anymore.

After all, even such a senior figure would grow weary if she were to constantly trouble him.

Upon hearing this, Li Fan was momentarily startled.

Xinning has seven other sisters??

Does this mean that Xinning was originally one of nine sisters??

This…this is really too much, isn’t it??

As expected of a big household.

His feelings were complicated, but he didn’t say much; after all, clearing things up in one go was best.

“That’s fine, if you need help, just say so.”

Li Fan spoke up.

“Thank you, Big Brother—”

Xinning cheerfully expressed her thanks, then she and Gong Ya stepped out of the house once again.

Upon leaving Wu’er Xianting, Jing Mie stood outside with utmost respect and said:

“To report to the Demon Monarch, five Primeval Souls have already arrived!” Five of them!

“Let’s go out and meet them—”

Xinning led the two out of the village. Just as they left the village entrance, Xinning suddenly extended her hand, and a Primeval Soul without its own consciousness suddenly appeared in the middle of the scene.

“Is this…the Demon Monarch can simply extract a Primeval Soul at will?”

Gong Ya asked in astonishment.

“Since I’ve arranged bait to lure the fish, I must make it convincing. Come, let’s retreat to the village. In this way, no one will be able to detect us.”

Xinning smiled.

The three of them then waited under the village’s surrounding wall.

Before long,

a shadow suddenly appeared in front of the village.

It was an elder carrying a little girl on his back.

The little girl’s face was very pale, but her eyes were filled with a strange color.

“That…that is a Primeval Soul…”

The little girl suddenly pointed at a soul floating in front of the village entrance!

The elder was also shocked beyond belief.

“Why would a Primeval Soul of the Demon Monarch be floating around here…

This place looks very frightening, as if it is a forbidden area!”

He immediately said:

“Demon Monarch, this place is too dangerous, its depths unknown; let’s absorb this Primeval Soul right away and leave afterward!”

The little girl also nodded and said, “Okay!”

Having said that, she jumped down from the elder’s back in one step, and in the next moment, she was already in front of the Primeval Soul.

She reached out to grab it.

But the Primeval Soul, as if feeling threatened, actually floated toward the direction of the village.

“Stop!”

The little girl caught up in one step and forcefully reached out to grab it.

It was at this moment that a dark vortex suddenly appeared above the little girl’s head!

“Ah—no!”

The little girl looked up in terror at that moment, desperately wanting to retreat.

But it was too late.

The vortex was too terrifying, about to devour her.

“Demon Monarch!”

The elder behind her was shocked; this was actually a trap!

Without any hesitation, he charged forward, about to strike at the vortex.

But at the same time, two presences, not a bit inferior to his, suddenly appeared, blocking him.

“Boom ”

As he collided with these two presences, his figure was forced to a halt.

In the instant he stopped, the Primeval Soul of the Demon Monarch he was protecting had already lost its ability to struggle, and was completely sucked into the black vortex.

“Demon Monarch!”

The elder’s eyes were red with fury, like a crazed lion, pounding his chest and stomping his feet in rage.

“Shan Ming, your Demon Monarch isn’t here? What’s with the frenzy?”

At this moment, a childish voice rang out.

A little girl with her hands clasped behind her back came forward, a smile playing at the corners of her mouth.

Her aura was incredibly strong, at this moment not even weaker than Gong Ya and Jing Mie!

After devouring the first Primeval Soul, she had recovered to the Grand Unity Golden Demon Peak Realm, and now, having devoured another, she had officially stepped into the Great Luo Golden Demon Realm!

Her current strength was worthy of a Demon Marshal!

Behind her, Jing Mie and Gong Ya followed, one on the left and one on the right!

Seeing the little girl, the old man Shan Ming was greatly shaken.

“You… you… you set this trap…”

He understood everything now.

This was a trap all along!

The goal was to attract other Primeval Souls to devour.

At this moment, Jing Mie coldly shouted:

“Shan Ming, in accordance with the orders given by the Demon Monarch in the past, although each of us nine supported a Primeval Soul, once the Primeval Soul we assisted was devoured, we must serve the devourer as our master!” “Because, no matter who devours whom, in the end, it is the return of the Demon Monarch.”

“How dare you harbor selfish intentions and disrespect the Demon Monarch?!”

Upon hearing this, Shan Ming gave a bitter smile and said:

“The Demon Monarch’s final command, how could I forget?”

After speaking, he immediately bowed deeply to Xinning in a very respectful manner:

“I pay my respects to the Demon Monarch!”

Xinning said cheerily, “Alright, no need for formalities, come over here and hide, don’t let the others who come later discover you.”

Shan Ming had a complex look, but still walked behind Xinning, closely following her.

Before long.

A second dark shadow appeared in the arena!

Xinning repeated the process!

The third one!

The fourth one…

With five consecutive Primeval Souls, Xinning’s forces skyrocketed, directly rising to the six levels of the Great Luo Golden Demon Realm!

Three more Demon Monarchs also submitted to her.

Just then, the last breath appeared, fierce and surging with blood!

A man holding a Blood Spear, carrying a little girl, appeared coldly in the midst of the scene.

At the entrance of the village, two Primeval Souls remained!

“Quick, I need to go devour them!”

The little girl in his arms seemed extremely eager.

But Demon Marshal Xue Ge frowned and said:

“This place is ominous!”

“Demon Monarch, we were the last to arrive, it doesn’t make sense that the Primeval Souls are still here, yet no one else is to be seen!”

“We should retreat!”

He spoke!

“No… how can you do this, I command you to take me there immediately!”

The little girl in his embrace angrily spoke out.

Xue Ge’s brow furrowed deeply.

“Hehe, what, did you realize that this was my trap?”

At this moment, a voice rang out from within the small mountain village.

Xinning, followed by six Demon Marshals, walked out.

Seeing Jing Mie, Shan Ming, Gong Ya, and others all following behind her, Xue Ge’s pupils constricted!

This means… the opponent has already devoured six Primeval Souls?

That’s terrifying!

“You…”

He subconsciously wanted to turn around and leave.

Even though he was the strongest of the nine Demon Marshals, he stood no chance against six Demon Marshals of the same rank.

What’s more, Xinning’s aura had obviously become overwhelmingly domineering at this moment.

“Blood Spear, you’re not thinking of running away, are you?”

Xinning smiled and said,

“You are the strongest Demon Marshal under my command. So, come, fight me. If you win, I’ll let the Primeval Soul you serve to devour me, but if you lose, you must offer it up to me!”

“How about it?”

Blood Spear had been intending to retreat, but upon hearing these words, suddenly looked up and said,

“Really?”

Gong Ya also spoke urgently,

“Demon Monarch, it’s not advisable. We are in a stable winning position right now; how can we give him such an opportunity so easily…”

Xinning waved her hand and said,

“All of you, back off.”

Gong Ya was full of concern but still could only sigh and step back.

Blood Spear also put down the little girl in his arms and said,

“Demon Monarch, please wait a moment.”

Having said that, he advanced, wielding his blood-colored spear, and stared at Xinning, saying,

“You brought this upon yourself!”

As he spoke, his spear danced wildly, the blood energy surged terrifyingly, striking directly as if a raging river of blood was rolling forth!

A Demon Marshal made his move, and the surrounding area nearly collapsed with it, his might was terrifying to the extreme!

“So strong! Blood Spear has progressed further over the years!”

“It’s likely that he himself has touched the threshold of the Immortal path!”

“The Demon Marshal has just integrated a few Primeval Souls and is far from stable. How could he be his opponent!”

Shan Ming, Jing Mie, and others were all anxious.

But even until this moment, Xinning remained as calm as ever.

Countless surging waves of blood energy roared towards her, the intent to kill filled the heavens, yet she suddenly extended a hand and recited a poem:

“In the corner of the wall a few branches of plum trees bloom, braving the cold alone.

From afar I know they are not snow, for a hidden fragrance drifts this way.”

As the poem was recited, her entire being suddenly became filled with an extremely pure and clear presence. Wherever she went, those terrifying blood energies couldn’t stain her in the slightest!

At this moment, she didn’t resemble a terrifying Demon Monarch, but instead, seemed like a goddess descending from the ninth heaven.

So ethereal, so clear, surpassing the ordinary!

She parted the myriad blood energies and appeared in front of Blood Spear, lightly pointing a finger.

Upon her delicate hand, magical plum blossoms bloomed!

As the plum blossoms unfurled, in that instant, tens of thousands of layers of blood energy dissipated, and countless killing intents vanished!

A single plum blossom quietly landed on the tip of the blood-colored spear!

At this moment, Blood Spear’s spear trembled, an irresistible force transmitting through it, causing blood to flow wildly from the tiger’s mouth in his hand!

In an instant, Blood Spear’s pupils shrank, he cried out in alarm, and his entire body was sent flying backward!

Boom!

Blood Spear crashed forcefully onto the ground, dust and debris flying everywhere, and a terrifying crater appeared on the earth!

Blood Spear was defeated!

At this moment, the many Demon Marshals present, gazing at Xinning’s silhouette, were filled with incredulous expressions in their eyes!

That poem… that aura…

They were utterly shocked!
