Jia’lan Group

After the ‘Sky Wolf Smoke’ condensed into the ‘Sky Wolf Battle Armor’, Fang Han’s defense was strengthened once again, and the fierce demonic qi emanating from him was much more intense. This made it so when Fang Han faced ‘Heavenly Devils’, he gained a great deal of benefits. Furthermore, it increased his profit from protecting and rescuing these people.

Fang Han’s rush down from the skies to kill and rescue wasn’t as reckless as it seemed. After the ‘Heavenly Devils’ had broken through the barriers of the eight female disciples, every one of them had begun preparing to take a slice of the pie and weren’t paying any attention to what was behind them. Thus, they were caught off guard.

Fang Han, like a fierce sky wolf, rushed down at his prey from above, his qi extremely violent and brutal and going outwards. Mixed with it were some of his great roars and long howls. In the first place, his qi was profound and his throat was extremely strong. Thus, the sonic blast created by the combination this strike and roar was even more explosive and violent than the one created just now by the ‘Billowing Pines Zither’ and ‘Cloud Water Flute’.

It immediately burst open a path, leaving behind a trail of blood.

His strike was ruthless and vicious, his palm seizing, the black qi firing off. Every grapple, every slap, was another ‘Heavenly Devil’ exploding into pieces and becoming unable to recondense a body. They were all stealthily thrown into the ‘Picture of the Hidden Yellow Dragon Spring’ and refined into pellets.

In just a few easy breaths, twenty to thirty of the hundred or so ‘Heavenly Devils’ were already killed by Fang Han. And this was when he didn’t disperse the ‘Sky Wolf Smoke’ to seize the ‘Heavenly Devils’. Otherwise, if he were to use the ‘Sky Wolf Smoke’ to create a great net and then cast it, then probably all of the ‘Heavenly Devils’ would have already been captured. However, if he did this, he would lose the protection of the ‘Sky Wolf Smoke’, leaving his life at risk.

“Stop him!”

The reaction of the several ‘Heavenly Devils’ who had turned into naked men was extremely quick, explosively roaring a sharp scream, their hands dragging through the sky and rustling up a chilly wind. Rolling like thunder, the wind went to obstruct Fang Han.

Fang Han didn’t fight recklessly without thinking about the consequences. He intentionally flew upwards, waiting for the ‘Heavenly Devils’ to come out to obstruct him before suddenly dropping and turning into a stream of black light which encircled Xu Yue Er, Xiao Yu, and the rest of the female disciples. Subsequently, all of these female disciples were shrouded amidst the ‘Sky Wolf Smoke’, temporarily protecting them again.

“Luckily, there are only eight female disciples. If there were any more, it would be hard for the ‘Sky Wolf Smoke’ to protect all of them.”

Every time the ‘Sky Wolf Smoke’ split, its power would fall. This time, it had split into eight spheres to protect the female disciples, and thus, the ‘Sky Wolf Battle Armor’ on Fang Han’s body began to disapparate. It turned into another ‘Sky Wolf Magic Sphere’, but its speed, power, and defensive ability were all much weaker than before.

“Ladies, do not be fl.u.s.tered. I am one of the testing disciples from the Yu’hua School, Fang Han. Because I am in possession of a ‘Devil Treasure’, I can frighten off the ‘Heavenly Devils’. This time, some change has occurred within the ‘Heavenly Devil Arena’, we should help each other and overcome this catastrophe together!”

Fang Han’s voice permeated into the ears of the eight female disciples. The female disciples all took a deep breath. Originally, when they had been enwrapped by the black smoke, they had thought it was some ‘Heavenly Devil’s ‘Devil Technique’ and were extremely scared. However, upon hearing that it was a rescuer from their school, they all knew they had escaped death this time.

At this moment, Xu Yue Er and Yu Er, the two leaders of this group, felt extremely grateful to Fang Han who had rescued them! Their tears almost flowed out, he was truly their shining light in the darkness. If not for Fang Han just now, they would already be in the evil hands of the ‘Heavenly Devils’ where even if they wanted to die, it would be hard.

“Which senior brother is it that has come? For saving us today, we are extremely grateful. Even if we eight sisters split our bodies and shattered our bones, it would still be difficult to repay,” said Xu Yue Er in a loud voice.

Hu hu, hu hu! The wolf smoke quickly moved, turning into a giant ball of smoke with a radius of a few zhang. It enwrapped all eight of the girls as well as Fang Han, forming a solid barrier.

Outside the ball of smoke, countless ‘Heavenly Devils’ flew, constantly attacking it. They caused outer layer of billowing smoke to fluctuate, but couldn’t break through it.

At this time, Xu Yue Er, Yu Er, and the other six female disciples saw Fang Han, who was standing in the middle. The current Fang Han was tall and upright with a vigorous, courage aura. The shape of his body was pretty much perfect. Even though he was wearing magic clothes, the female disciples were still able to see the lines on his body formed by his muscles. It was as if he were a sculpture of a G.o.d that was created by tens of thousands of master artists. His aura and charm all had a kind of appeal towards others.

Upon seeing him, the eight female disciples’ eyes all lightened up, “Such a perfectly proportioned, handsome guy.”

Compared to the past, Fang Han’s current appearance and aura had undergone changes as great as the difference between the heaven and earth. This was because he had cultivated to the ‘G.o.dly Transformation’ stage, and was able to use his qi and blood to stimulate the ‘G.o.dly Transformation Point’, causing the body to change. More importantly, however, it was because he had the powers of the ‘Nine Aperture Golden Pellet’. Otherwise, if he were just an ordinary ‘G.o.dly Transformation’ cultivator, he wouldn’t have such chiseled, perfect body lines.

“Fang Han senior brother! Your magic treasure is the ‘Sky Wolf Seven Evil Spirits Smoke’. Rumor has it that this is contained within the ‘Seven Evil Spirits Gourd’, a bao’qi which is the treasure of the ‘Yao’shen Clan’. How come you have it?”

Xu Yue Er’s eyes were very sharp, and she herself was very informed. In just a moment, she was able to identify the ‘Sky Wolf Smoke’ enwrapping them.

“It is something that Qing Xue senior sister s.n.a.t.c.hed over from the ‘Altar of the Demon G.o.d’ and gave to me for my protection. I never would have thought that it would be such a help today. However, we are still not out of danger. Since I haven’t reached the ‘Divine Realm’ yet, I cannot utilize all of the power of the wolf smoke. Because it is currently enwrapping nine people, it can only fly very slowly. We will not be able to escape the chase of the ‘Heavenly Devils’.”

Fang Han replied carefully, not divulging any secrets.

Only when the ‘Sky Wolf Smoke’ was highly condensed into the ‘Sky Wolf Battle Armor’ would its speed be extremely fast and able to escape from the chase of ‘Heavenly Devils’. Since it was so diffused as a giant magic sphere and had to carry nine people, its speed was very slow. Compared with the ‘Heavenly Devils’, it was a turtle. Thus, trying to escape wasn’t as good as just staying where they were.

“That’s right, I still haven’t asked for fellow sister disciples’ names.”

“I am called Xu Yue Er, she is called Ye Yu. Fang senior brother can call us Yue Er and Yu Er. We have been in the school for five years now, and have tested within the ‘Heavenly Devil Arena’ twice. Last time, although we didn’t pa.s.s, we didn’t feel any danger. This time, we made ample preparations, but didn’t expect such a turn of events to occur.”

“Ah, so you guys are actually senior sisters. I have only entered the school for a short half a year’s time. Various senior sisters, please tell me what I should call you.”

He he he he he.

They all began laughing.

These female disciples never thought that Fang Han, who possessed such great power, would actually also be so humble unlike other powerful disciples, who were extremely cold, arrogant, and full of standards. Meanwhile, Fang Han, who had just saved their lives, didn’t seem to try to coerce them with his power into rewarding him the slightest.

Thus, their goodwill towards Fang Han was further enhanced.

While Fang Han had entered the school for only half a year, his great power wasn’t something that was extremely surprising. Amongst the Yu’hua School outer court disciples, there were many whose cultivations and strength were extremely high, and had entered the school to pursue advanced studies. Although Fang Han’s power wasn’t usual, it wasn’t surprising due to his rumored relations with Fang Qing Xue.

“I am Ai Wei.”

“Zi Xuan.”

“Hee hee, I am Yan Xiao Yu.”

“Yan Xiao Xing, Xiao Yu is my little sister.”

“Fang Han brother disciple, I am Lin Feng Xi.”

“Nan Bei Bei. I am a Black Level member of the ‘Jia’lan Group’ ah,” said the youngest girl of the group, who seemed to be around twelve or thirteen.

“‘Jia’lan Group’?” asked Fang Han, surprised for a moment.

“The ‘Jia’lan Group’ is our group of female disciples. It is small group within the school. It’s to protect its disciples from bullying by other disciples. It also allows us to have people to cultivate with. Together, we help each other raise our strength. Fang Han brother disciple, it hasn’t been long since you entered the Yu’hua School, so you don’t know that the Yu’hua School’s nearly four hundred thousand outer court disciples and five thousand inner court disciples all form small groups. Sometimes, even true disciples will be the head of these groups.”

Xu Yue Er hurriedly explained everything to Fang Han.

“Ah, so it was like that.” Fang Han immediately understood. Since the Yu’hua School had so many disciples, it was like fish and dragons coexisting. Thus, it was inevitable that there would be factions and groups. They would do it to fight for their interests and avoid bullying. Even within imperial courts, amongst those hundreds of civil officials and generals, there were these cliques. Both civil officers and military generals all had their own factions.

Moreover, amongst the Yu’hua School disciples, there were many more competing interests than within an imperial court.

Imperial courts only had interests of fame and wealth. Meanwhile, Yu’hua School disciples had to compete over stuff to cultivate power, ‘Divine Will’, ‘Longevity’. The attractiveness of such things were enough to cause the creation of various interest groups.

Where there were people, there were lakes.

Where there was profit, there would be strife and power.

Especially on a path where people chased after power.

“This time, Fang Han brother disciple has saved our lives. We will report this matter to our eldest senior sister within the ‘Jia’lan Group’. If you ever encounter any trouble in the future, we will step onto boiling water, trod on a sea of flames; without any hesitation, we will make every effort to help you!” said Ye Yu.

When Fang Han heard these words, his heart became very happy, and he realized that he made the right decision to rescue these people. Seeing on how he played a part in helping these eight female disciples gain their ling’qi, the ‘Jia’lan Group’ now owed him a huge favor, and it would be easy for him to mix in in the future. The ‘Jia’lan Group’s influence was not only amongst the outer court disciples, but definitely also amongst the inner court disciples. Perhaps their eldest senior sister was even a true disciple!

One must know, the one hundred and eight people of a true disciple were more than enough.

Right when he was about to speak again, the situation suddenly changed!

Boom!

The wolf smoke actually began severely fluctuating. The people inside became shocked and impatient, their qi surging and circulating. Looking outside, the several ‘Heavenly Devil’ leaders, those naked males, had commanded the approximately hundred ‘Heavenly Devils’ to from a huge drill, and were now relentlessly spinning forward!
