Not long after, Fang Lao learned about what happened from the only remaining Dou Spirit, whom Xiao Ning had injured severely. Fang Lao's anger peaked, and instead of saving him, he killed the latter.
To Fang Lao, a Dou Emperor, the life of a Dou Spirit was nothing. Not to mention, the latter survived, and his son died. Furthermore, he also lost a precious seventh-rank pill and offended the Heavenly Serpent Mansion.
"Dammit, everything was according to plan, then who was it?" Fang Lao's heart was bleeding, and in his entire career as the sect leader of the Blood Sect, he never felt more aggrieved than now.
"Return to the sect," Fang Lao's icy cold voice resounded in the silent forest.
...
On the other side, Xiao Ning didn't know that Fang Lao hated him to death, and even if he knew, he would laugh it off. Xiao Ning calmly crossed the streets and left the town. He returned to the forest and found a secluded cave to absorb the seventh-rank pill.
His return clearly showed Xiao Ning was not afraid of Fang Lao's revenge, not to mention the latter did not even know him.
Xiao Ning scanned the surroundings with his spiritual strength and entered the cave. He sat cross-legged on a large stone and took out the box from his storage ring.
He slowly opened the cold jade box, and a golden light shone, which instantly lit up the dark cave. Fortunately, Xiao Ning was well prepared and had blocked the entrance.
The bright golden light did not affect him, and Xiao Ning saw the pill's appearance. The golden pill lay quietly in the cold jade box, and two rays of golden light circled within. From time to time, it would jump upwards, and if seen clearly, the two rays of light resembled the golden dragons.
Xiao Ning nodded in satisfaction after watching this. He did not hesitate and swallowed the pill. The Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill melted in his mouth, and a warm current flowed through his body before it disappeared.
The next moment, Xiao Ning opened his eyes, and a golden light flashed before it disappeared.
Aside from the warm current which he had already expected, Xiao Ning also felt a trace of dragon energy wandering in his body. He could detect it due to his bloodline.
Xiao Ning thought of something and guided the trace of dragon energy, letting it merge with his bloodline. Cycle after cycle, the trace of dragon energy slowly fused with his bloodline.
It took a few hours to completely merge it and truly make it a part of his blood. At the same time, Xiao Ning felt strange, as if someone was calling him. This feeling grew stronger as the time passed by.
Finally, Xiao Ning couldn't resist it and subconsciously roared.
The moment Xiao Ning roared, a dragon's roar sounded instead of the human's, and it spread throughout the forest. At the same time, all magical beasts within the range froze as if time had stopped.
The next second, everything returned to its original state. All the magical beasts shivered and ran away from the forest with Xiao Ning's position as the center.
Xiao Ning, on the other hand, did not know about it; he laughed and swiftly rushed out of the cave. After letting out the roar, Xiao Ning understood he had gained another ability.
The roar could be regarded as a sonic dou technique with the ability to stop time. Anything related to 'Time' is considered precious and rare let alone a bloodline ability to stop time.
"Hahaha!" Xiao Ning couldn't control his happiness and laughed loudly. His original thought was to take away the pill as insurance for the future. Who would have thought it would bring him such benefits?
Why didn't Xiao Yan gain such ability in the original timeline? It may be because he didn't have a bloodline related to dragons, let alone a Dou Di rank bloodline.
Xiao Ning no longer stayed in the forest and resumed his journey towards Peace Town. He did not start experimenting with the new ability and postponed it until after reaching the academy.
...
"Asshole!" Elder Qing cursed. Not long after waking up, she felt something wasn't right, and she quickly checked her storage ring and found Xiao Ning's note instead of her pill.
Her delicate face turned ugly, and she couldn't help but curse him a few times. Only now did she understand, that Xiao Ning was not in the same group as Fang Ling.
In the end, she blamed everything on Fang Ling and the Blood Sect. If they hadn't ambushed her, then she wouldn't have lost the pill.
What Elder Qing didn't know was even without the interference of the Blood Sect, the pill still would have ended up in Xiao Ning's hands. Only this time, his intervention saved her life.
She dared not to stay any longer and rushed back to Heavenly Serpent Mansion.
...
Xiao Ning would have never guessed his small actions created massive chaos in the Black-Corner region.
Soon, the rumor about the Blood Sect's ambush spread throughout the Black-Corner region. Not only did it reduce the Blood Sect's credibility, but it also sent the signal to the jackals waiting in the shadows for the right moment to strike.
Furthermore, the Heavenly Serpent Mansion declared war against the Blood Sect, which caused the latter to be furious. Not only has his son died, but now Fang Lao needs to pay an extremely huge price to compensate the latter; otherwise, his sect is finished.
How high is the compensation for a seventh-rank pill? Fang Lao didn't know it before, but now he knows.
...
As the man responsible for this chaos, Xiao Ning didn't know about it and happily traveled toward the Peace town. The extra benefit he received due to the Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill made him happy.
After a few days, Xiao Ning stopped in front of a town. As far as he could see, this town was different from the rest of the Black-Corner region.
"Worthy of the Peace town."
