Ning Fan carried Hou Lian and departed from the voyage ship. They parted with Suqiu and the rest for a while.
Ning Fan spotted at first glance, an insignificant demonic mark on the jade box which contained the All-Heaven Relic. It was most probably the reason why the demons were able to track Hou Lian down.
Demon Lieutenant Zhifeng will also come after the trails left by the mark. After capturing him, I will bring Hou Lian back to his sect and assist him in becoming the sect master. Then I'll be able to rob all the sects within the radius of ten thousand *li in Wei Country using his name.
That was Ning Fan's plan.
The act of robbery would definitely offend the forces in Wei Country. However, there were Hou Lian and his sect to take the blame. Therefore, the consequences won't be as bad.
