Capítulo 1337: Chapter 1326: Rune Chains
This rune chain’s effects are unknown.
No matter how the Divine Dragon struggles, it cannot escape the binding. Furthermore, every ti a flowing light flashes on the surface of the rune chain, the Divine Dragon’s size shrinks slightly.
Before long, the Divine Dragon will completely disappear.
“I must see if this Divine Dragon’s Third Flash can still stop it.”
The Divine Dragon’s Triple Extre Flash, each flash stronger than the last.
Ning Fan couldn’t be bothered to think too much about it.
To him, regardless of the myriad of techniques and divine mystical powers, he only needs to hold up the sky with one hand and break through with force.
“Divine Dragon’s Triple Extre Flash! Third Flash!”
The runes seed to be sentient, sensing the Divine Dragon gradually taking shape behind Ning Fan, they started forming new rune chains.
“Ning Fan, don’t do it!”
Hearing Xu Xiaoqing’s voice, Ning Fan’s mind wavered, and the not fully transford Divine Dragon instantly vanished.
At the sa ti, those rune chains began to disintegrate, turning back into runes.
Ning Fan stepped on the void, heading straight for the stone platform.
Looking at Xu Xiaoqing before him, Ning Fan touched his chin and scrutinized her back and forth.
This unbridled gaze made Xu Xiaoqing’s heart tremble with unease, causing her to shyly say, “Ning Fan, what are you looking at?”
It was a full minute before Ning Fan retracted his gaze, abruptly asking, “Little girl, are you alright?”
Tian Xuan’s worry wasn’t unfounded. Given Ning Fan’s character, even if the little girl volunteered to beco Clan Leader, he would try to dissuade her in every way possible.
Ceremonies like these are inherently filled with too many oddities.
Xu Xiaoqing might end up having her consciousness seized or turn into a puppet devoid of spiritual wisdom.
No one can prove such things won’t happen, which is why Ning Fan was so furious upon learning the ceremony was initiated.
“What could be wrong with ?”
Xu Xiaoqing giggled, “I feel filled with power all over.”
Seeing Xu Xiaoqing acting just as usual, Ning Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief—at least the worst didn’t transpire.
“No need to check. You’re now a master at the True Qi Realm.”
“Really?”
Excited, Xu Xiaoqing jumped, and then her whole body floated into the air.
“I can fly now… ah! Help !”
Watching Xu Xiaoqing flailing in midair, Ning Fan caught her falling body, then sighed, “You still need to properly adapt to your internal power.”
Xu Xiaoqing not only leapt to the True Qi Realm, which takes a Martial Artist over ten years to refine,
But also harbored a trendous power within, continuously refining her ridians and strengthening her physique.
By Ning Fan’s estimation, this power can at least push Xu Xiaoqing to the Initial Stage of Aerial Mastery.
This is just the passive enhancent; should Xu Xiaoqing diligently practice, her future achievents would undoubtedly be greater.
The high starting point for Xu Xiaoqing made Ning Fan a bit envious.
When Ning Fan voiced his thoughts, Xu Xiaoqing imdiately rejoiced, “Great, I can beco a heroine!”
Seeing this, Tian Xuan, who had just walked through Ghost Gate Pass, couldn’t help but shed tears of excitent, kneeling down in prostration, “The Celestial Clan welcos the new Clan Leader.”
“Welco the new Clan Leader.”
Under Tian Xuan’s lead, everyone present knelt down and shouted.
“This…”
Confronted with such a situation for the first ti, Xu Xiaoqing had no choice but to seek assistance with her gaze towards Ning Fan.
“Everyone, rise. Elders stay, the rest disperse.”
Just as everyone was departing one by one, a young girl ca running, out of breath and shouting continuously, “Sothing terrible has happened. Mr. Ning has gone berserk…”
Hearing this, Ning Fan’s face darkened involuntarily, while Xu Xiaoqing laughed so hard she was shaking with mirth,
During the ceremony, due to the influence of the Clan Leader’s crown, Xu Xiaoqing, although with eyes closed, was well aware of the outside situation, just unable to act.
Fortunately, at the critical mont, the ceremony was completed.
According to the information imparted by the Clan Leader’s crown, Xu Xiaoqing triggered the Clan Protection Formation, using rune chains to hold the Divine Dragon; otherwise, Tian Xuan would have long since perished.
“You’re still laughing. If it weren’t for you acting on your own, would I be like this?”
Bringing up this matter got Ning Fan riled up; he had just learned that Xu Xiaoqing actually took part in the ceremony voluntarily.
Seeing Ning Fan bring this up, Xu Xiaoqing, knowing she was in the wrong, quickly pleaded coquettishly, “I was wrong, isn’t that enough? Please don’t be mad.”
Looking at his apologizing sister-in-law, what else could Ning Fan do but humph twice?
By the stone platform, all the clanspeople had left, leaving only Tian Xuan and the five Elders.
Seeing Ning Fan’s expressionless face, Tian Xuan could only force a dry laugh, feeling a chill of fear inside.
According to clan records, the Clan Protection Formation has both active and passive triggers.
The active trigger is guided by the Clan Leader, directing the formation’s power to slay the enemy.
As long as the Clan Leader’s cultivation is strong enough, even an Aerial Mastery Peak can be overco,
The passive trigger is an automatic defense chanism: when non-Celestial Clan forces appear in the formation’s center, it activates to suppress enemies.
These two protective forces are used in different situations.
The passive trigger mainly counters large-scale foreign threats.
No matter how many enemies, as long as their aura isn’t Celestial, their cultivation will be lowered by one level.
True Yuan becos Object-Manipulating, Object-Manipulating becos True Qi. But this thod is ineffective against Aerial Mastery Stage experts.
The active trigger fills this gap; guided by the Clan Leader, the formation can kill across levels.
Like Xu Xiaoqing, though she’s at the True Qi Realm, after activating the formation, she can kill True Origin Realm experts instantly.
Given enough ti, even experts at the Initial Stage of Aerial Mastery can be worn down to death.
This shows the importance of the Clan Protection Formation to the Celestial Clan and its potency.
But even under the formation’s protection, Tian Xuan still felt uneasy, and the source of his unease was Ning Fan.
In such a situation, even if Xu Xiaoqing actively triggered the formation, it might not have been able to stop that Third Flash.
“Even if Mr. Ning would spare for the Clan Leader’s sake, if he decided to give a thrashing, my old face…”
Imagining such a scenario sent a chill through Tian Xuan’s heart, making him even more anxious.
Just then, Xu Xiaoqing spoke up, “Great Elder, since the ceremony is complete, can I leave?”
“This…”
Hearing this, Tian Xuan felt troubled.
According to tradition, Xu Xiaoqing’s succession as Clan Leader would require a three-day, three-night Holy Scripture to be held.
The new Clan Leader’s inauguration should involve learning about the clan’s affairs and reaching out to the people warmly.
A balance of kindness and authority, engaging both ends, is the true way of leadership!
Now, Xu Xiaoqing was saying she’d leave outright, not even participating in the Holy Scripture; this left Tian Xuan, the Great Elder, feeling truly conflicted.
“Ahem…”
Following a cough, seeing Ning Fan’s half-smiling face, Tian Xuan instantly woke up, beaming, “The Clan Leader can certainly leave.”
“Ning Fan, let’s go back.”
At this mont, Xu Xiaoqing couldn’t wait to show off thoroughly.
