Lin Fan explained.

Ning Zhong, Ning Shuang, Ning Xiu, and Ning Wu, all have been killed by him, and this is precisely the Ning Family of the Sumeru Continent.

"I see, but what were you doing in her boudoir?"

"Isn't a girl's boudoir the most private place?"

"Why did you come here?"

"Do you have any ideas?"

From the mouth of the Divine Phoenix came a series of soul-searching questions.

"Ahem, I... don't have any ideas." Lin Fan quickly shook his head, Ning Ruoxue's pretty face was also filled with embarrassment and shyness. Lin Fan had no ideas, but she did!

Who knew, suddenly a Divine Phoenix appeared.

Now it's awkward.

Three people appeared in the room, making it as awkward as possible.

It was just at this moment.

Ning Hongtao appeared with the Ning family members outside Ning Ruoxue's boudoir, loudly saying, "Young Master Lin, I have some matters to discuss, please come out for a meeting."

Great.

The savior is here.

For the first time, Lin Fan found Ning Hongtao so endearing, he quickly opened Ning Ruoxue's door and slowly walked out, glancing at the Ning family members.

The Divine Phoenix and Ning Ruoxue also followed out of the boudoir one after another.

Ning Hongtao was stunned.

What's going on?

Why is there a woman beside Young Master Lin?

Nevertheless.

Ning Hongtao couldn't think much further, he was here because he had important matters to discuss with Lin Fan.

"Young Master Lin, about what happened earlier, it was the Ning family's fault. After our family deliberated, we decided to offer you some compensation!" Ning Hongtao said seriously.

"Compensation? How so?" Lin Fan was slightly surprised.

Initially, considering Ning Ruoxue's sake, Lin Fan wasn't planning to pursue the Ning family's accountability and was going to stay at most two days before leaving.

Unexpectedly, Ning Hongtao took the initiative to offer compensation.

Since Ning Hongtao wanted to compensate him, Lin Fan wasn't foolish enough to refuse it, right?

Hence.

A hint of intrigued interest appeared at Lin Fan's mouth: "What kind of compensation?"

"We can allow Young Master Lin to enter our Ning family's Small Pagoda once!" Ning Hongtao stated.

"Small Pagoda?" Lin Fan looked puzzled.

"The Small Pagoda is a sacred artifact of our Ning family, passed down from our ancestors through generations. This tower is very special, having thirty levels in total, with powerful arrays inside that can absorb nearby nature's spiritual energy. The deeper into the tower one goes, the denser the spiritual energy becomes! If one cultivates within the Small Pagoda, they can increase their cultivation efficiency by hundreds, thousands, or even ten thousand times a day!" Ning Ruoxue explained.

"Let's go, have a look."

Lin Fan was intrigued, his eyes lit up!

Accompanied by Ning Hongtao and others, Lin Fan arrived at the depths of the Ning family.

A colossal ancient tower stood imposingly in the center of the plaza, surrounded by protective arrays.

It seems the Ning family indeed places a great importance on this tower.

The Small Pagoda stands thirty levels high, each level is around ten meters tall, adding up to about three hundred meters in total, which isn't that tall.

However.

As Lin Fan approached the Small Pagoda for just a moment, he felt a massive surge of essence converging towards his body.

And just at that moment.

"Master... baby… smells something really delicious... baby wants to eat..." Suddenly, the voice of the Xuanyuan Sword's Sword Spirit came from Lin Fan's mind, childish and extremely adorable.

"What do you want to eat?" Lin Fan was a bit surprised.

"The tower! It's the tower in front!" The Xuanyuan Sword's Sword Spirit continued transmitting its voice, filled with endless longing, like a child begging to eat Spirit Stones.

"You can eat this tower?" Lin Fan was thoroughly stunned.

In the past, the Xuanyuan Sword could only devour some other weapons.

It's the first time the Xuanyuan Sword voluntarily wanted to devour a tower!

Moreover.

It's a sacred artifact of the Ning family!

"What's so strange about that? If it were before, the Xuanyuan Sword indeed couldn't devour this Small Pagoda, but now it's different. Just look at what the Xuanyuan Sword has fused with. The Xuanyuan Sword has fused with the Chaos Stone, containing chaotic energy within it, and chaos is something only available when the world first opened. Not just this Small Pagoda, the Xuanyuan Sword can devour anything in the world!" Emperor Jade transmitted, explaining.

Lin Fan was delighted in his heart: "So, if the Xuanyuan Sword devours this Small Pagoda, it can continue to evolve?"

"Probably," Emperor Jade replied.

Lin Fan became excited, the power of the Xuanyuan Sword was already terrifying.

If it continues to evolve, it would become even more terrifying!

Lin Fan was somewhat tempted, after pondering for a moment, he looked at Ning Hongtao: "Family Head Ning, if I could find a way to take this tower, would all grievances between me and the Ning family be one sweep cleared, how about it?"

Devouring, technically counts as a kind of taking away, doesn't it?

"Haha, Young Master Lin likes to joke!"

Upon hearing Lin Fan's words, Ning Hongtao was first stunned, then laughed, shaking his head: "Young Master Lin, don't even talk about taking away this Small Pagoda, even trying to shake it would be highly unlikely. I'm not bragging, several generations of ancestors from the Xuan Family have attempted to take this Ning family Small Pagoda, but not one has succeeded! Mind you, those Ning family ancestors were Dao Venerate Realm experts..."

The rest of the words.

Ning Hongtao didn't continue.

Clearly, even experts at the Dao Venerate Realm couldn't take the Small Pagoda.

Can Lin Fan take it?

Ning Hongtao didn't believe.

Really didn't believe.

"Family Head Ning doesn't believe?" Lin Fan smiled at Ning Hongtao.

"No, I don't believe." Ning Hongtao shook his head, after three breaths, added: "If Young Master Lin can take the Small Pagoda, I absolutely won't say another word!"

"Alright." Lin Fan grinned widely.

He was waiting for Ning Hongtao to say this!

If it were someone else, Lin Fan wouldn't need to waste words and could directly snatch the Small Pagoda.

But this was Ning Ruoxue's family, some basic manners and politeness were necessary.

With Ning Hongtao's consent, Lin Fan had no more qualms!

The next second.

"Whiz!"

Lin Fan raised his hand, from his Coiling Dragon Ancient Ring, the Xuanyuan Sword transformed into a golden light and flew out, like an eager, gluttonous child!

Impatiently.

It flew over the top of the Small Pagoda!

"Buzz!"

Golden sword light enveloped downward, instantly surrounding the entire Small Pagoda.

What followed was a scene of terror and disbelief appearing to the Ning family members, the Small Pagoda trembled violently, and then... shrank!

Then.

Under the watchful eyes of many, the Small Pagoda unexpectedly disappeared into the golden light of the Xuanyuan Sword.

After which.

It vanished!

Only a lonely plaza remained, the Small Pagoda had long gone without a trace.

The entire process was smooth and flawless, without any lag, the Small Pagoda was simply devoured by the Xuanyuan Sword.

The Xuanyuan Sword circled in the air, then flew back to Lin Fan's palm, entering back into the Coiling Dragon Ancient Ring.

"This... how is this possible!" Ning Hongtao's old face turned pale, suddenly looking as if he'd aged decades.
