BXBX NOVEL Chapter 289 - The Scum Is Versatile
Fei Yin and Wu Yuan just listened on the side. While Cheng Sheng and Nan Pingan talked, Wu Yuan turned to look at Fei Yin.
Wu Yuan knows Zhu Yang for only a minute, so, he can\'t talk much about Zhu Yang\'s character. However, there is one thing in common for all demonic cultivators: they are insufferably arrogant. And, from what Wu Yuan watched earlier, he can say that Fei Yin is really the best choice to act as Zhu Yang. As he watched earlier, he thought, for a moment, Zhu Yang resurrected. Even Zhu Yang\'s bloodlust, Fei Yin has copied. He has to admit that if it was him who acted as Zhu Yang, his cover would have definitely been blown after five seconds.
Wu Yuan\'s initial impression of Fei Yin as a cold person has vanished and was replaced by a reliable man who can make Cheng Sheng happy. Wu Yuan has reflected. He should learn from Fei Yin how to be versatile so that he can make Sun Yi happier when he returned.
Fei Yin who didn\'t know he had changed someone was listening to Jing Xian in his mind. "My Lord." Jing Xian called. "I apologize for my incompetence. I still can\'t determine Xi Tong\'s whereabouts." He said.
"Leave it. It isn\'t your fault to be a subsystem. It is with reason you can\'t track him." Fei Yin said. Although he didn\'t say \'inferior\', but Jing Xian could guess it.
Jing Xian felt resentful, not towards Fei Yin, but towards himself for having inadequate abilities. "My Lord." He called. "I can feel the changes in this world, but I can\'t pinpoint what exactly are they." He said. "The Devourer\'s power is getting stronger the more deaths there are in this last world." He added.
Fei Yin fell silent. What Jing Xian meant, he clearly knows. "I want to spend more time with Sheng." He said.
It was Jing Xian\'s turn to become silent. What Fei Yin meant, he clearly knows. Fei Yin going back to the Ten Thousand Dimensions is battling against the Devourer. And Fei Yin obviously is weaker than the Devourer, so going back meant it is suicide. Thus, Fei Yin wanted to spend time as much as he can together with Cheng Sheng. "I understand." Jing Xian said before he withdrew his consciousness in Fei Yin\'s mind.
Fei Yin sighed and watched Cheng Sheng converse with Nan Pingan. "Yes. The Chen patriarch, as well as the former sect leader Wu, indeed, passed by here." He heard Nan Pingan say.
Wu Yuan sharply turned to him. "When?" he asked.
"Two months ago." Nan Pingan answered. "They passed by just as the demonic cultivators stormed this land." He said. "Partly because of them I managed to hide when I failed to escape to Qianxu Sect." he told them.
"What did they ask you? Did they say anything?" Cheng Sheng asked.
"They asked me if I know about Wuran. They said they must destroy the source of the demonic cultivators." Nan Pingan answered.
"\'the source of the demonic cultivators\'…" they muttered and looked at each other.
"Could it be, the demonic cultivation originated in Wuran?" Cheng Sheng asked as he pondered. "The present demonic cultivators are the ones who practices the demonic cultivation methods from the sources unknown. Meanwhile, Ming Ye\'s people are the descendants of the Wuran Kingdom." He said and looked at Wu Yuan.
Wu Yuan get what he meant. "The people of the Wuran Kingdom created methods of demonic cultivation, and the source of the \'present\' demonic cultivation methods are from there!" he said. "Now that they have resurfaced, they plan to spread demonic cultivation to create more demonic cultivators. The Huilong Continent will definitely fall into chaos." He frowned.
"\'Huilong\'… \'Huilong\'…" Nan Pingan muttered as he listened to Cheng Sheng and Wu Yuan. "That\'s right! I remembered I heard the demonic cultivators when I escaped, they came from the Heilong Realm!" he said.
"\'Heilong Realm\'?" Cheng Sheng and Wu Yuan turned to him.
"Yes!" Nan Pingan answered. "It seems that the Wuran Kingdom, after it became too corrupted, the space distorted and another realm was created from too much negative energy, created the Heilong Realm." He explained before he paused. "This is what the Chen patriarch and the former sect leader Wu said as they analyzed the information they have gathered while mixing in with the crowd." He told them. His method of escaping by hiding within the crows is what he learned from Chen Jing and Wu Fan.
Cheng Sheng and Wu Yuan fell silent. Meanwhile, Fei Yin called Jing Xian in his mind. "This Heilong Realm… is this a subdimension in this dimension?" he asked.
"Yes." Jing Xian answered. "Even if it was just written as a novel, but everything becomes true in one dimension, and thus this created to a subdimension." He explained.
Fei Yin understood what Jing Xian meant, since he is currently inside and is experiencing everything. If it was written a realm, then a realm will definitely appear. You could say, these are the rules of this dimension. However, there is a large difference between a dimension and a space.
A space is like the secret realms where they were sent during the Intersect Competition, aside from the Feng Hua Palace which belongs to another dimension separated from this dimension (world), and only overlapped with this dimension (world) because of special circumstances that are created by Zu Zhe. It is called a \'secret realm\' by the inhabitants of this world since they are ignorant of the existence of other worlds.
A dimension is larger than a space. It is entirely a world. And a subdimension is a world within another world. Take this world and the Heilong Realm for instance. Although the Heilong Realm is called a \'realm\', another secret realm, but it is definitely a large space, big enough to be called as a sub-dimension by Jing Xian. That\'s why –
"You have to be very careful, my Lord." Jing Xian said with a sigh in his voice. "Because it was created with too much negative energy, it is definitely not a good thing. And it has become a separated world…" he said.
"I know." Fei Yin said before he sent Jing Xian away.
"Where is the Heilong Realm located?" Wu Yuan asked.
Nan Pingan shook his head. "I don\'t know." He answered.
"Then, what about my father and the Chen patriarch?" Wu Yuan asked.
Nan Pingan helplessly sighed. "I don\'t know. When they left, they have never come back again." He said and paused when he suddenly remembered something. "That\'s right! I\'ve heard there\'s this place called \'Shashan Pass\'. That place is filled with all kinds of people coming and going. Maybe you can find the information about Wuran there." he told them.
Cheng Sheng and Wu Yuan looked at each other and nodded before they turned to Nan Pingan. "Thank you very much." They said.
Nan Pingan shook his head. "That helplessness and powerlessness... I am really a coward." He bitterly smiled. "It wouldn\'t be long before the demonic cultivators find you. You had to hasten your travel. Go to Shashan Pass." He told them.
"How about you?" Cheng Sheng said and looked at Nan Lang.
"I\'ll find a way for us to escape." Nan Pingan answered. "Now, go." He told them.
Wu Yuan nodded before he gave Nan Pingan a money pouch. Cheng Sheng recalled the Shapeshifting Blanket. Then, they left the room.
"Mister…" Nan Lang called as he looked at the closed door. Suddenly, he felt his hairs stood on the end. He slowly turned and saw Nan Pingan standing motionlessly behind him. "Young… master Nan…?" he called in a small voice.
Nan Pingan lowered his head and smiled at him. Because the light was behind him, his expression became obscure. Nan Lang suddenly took a step back, and another until his back hit the door.
Then, he saw Nan Pingan smiled. "Why are you backing away from me? Do I look scary?" he asked.
Nan Lang felt his scalp became numb and his heart thumped loudly, the sound ringing in his ears. His face paled when he saw Nan Pingan\'s eyes turned bloody-red. "You… you… you\'ve become a demonic cultivator?!" he exclaimed.
Nan Pingan laughed. "All thanks to you." He said as he grabbed a fistful of Nan Lang\'s hair. "Remember… remember what you have done before." He whispered. "Since I also remembered just now what had happened." He said, feeling his blood surging in his body. He had qi deviated.
Nan Lang\'s eyes widened and tried to recall. Then, his mouth became agape when he remembered that, one time, he had ventured far into the woods and a stranger asked him if there is a place near where they could stay. He should\'ve known, they are demonic cultivators and he had just invited these wolves in the oasis city, leading to their tragedy. His parents hid him, not from the demonic cultivators, but from Nan Pinghe. Then, his parents fought to death with Nan Pinghe, leaving to both sides\' death.
Nan Lang\'s tears streamed down his cheeks. However, he got no time to speak when he felt pain on his chest. He looked down and saw blood coming out of his chest where a hole was made after Nan Pingan struck it with his hand that is now holding his heart. "Young… mas… ter… I\'m… sor… ry…" he spoke with much difficulty as blood trickled down his mouth. Nan Pingan\'s malicious smile was the last thing he saw when he died.
