Chapter 872 - 872 861 True Origin Realm Intermediate Stage


872: Chapter 861: True Origin Realm Intermediate Stage 872: Chapter 861: True Origin Realm Intermediate Stage Having lost a piece of the Nine Souls Jade, Konstantin went mad.


He swore to find the thief and make them pay.


Konstantin’s fury was terrifying, but his reach couldn’t extend to Huaxia.


The last time he sent Night Five to Huaxia, unforeseen events occurred.


This time, stubbornly, he tried to push through a vote to send Umbrella forces into Huaxia—a move that, in Teng Yun Ge Shang’s eyes, proved that the man had completely lost his sanity.


With this piece of Nine Souls Jade, Teng Yun Ge Shang’s plans were nearing their start.


Fei Peilie acted swiftly, locating Ning Fan and summoning him here.


After hearing that the deposit had been prepared, Ning Fan smiled.


Acquiring a piece of the Nine Souls Jade in advance carried significant meaning for him.


Currently, he was aiming to break through to the True Origin Realm, and the Nine Souls Jade was precisely what he needed.


If he could obtain another piece of the Nine Souls Jade, Ning Fan was confident he could use it to reach the True Origin Realm.


Filled with some anticipation, Ning Fan arrived at Teng Yun Ge Shang’s location.


Without unnecessary chatter, he got straight to the point and asked, “Is the deposit ready?


Take it out and let me see.”


Teng Yun Ge Shang furrowed his brows.


Ning Fan’s direct attitude displeased him somewhat, but upon seeing the excitement in Ning Fan’s eyes, he understood—just like Konstantin, Ning Fan held the Nine Souls Jade in high regard!


“I always keep my word.


The Nine Souls Jade is right here.


Look—”


Teng Yun Ge Shang spoke while producing the piece of Nine Souls Jade.


As soon as Ning Fan saw the sparkling, translucent crystal stone in Teng Yun Ge Shang’s hand, his eyes lit up.


Yes, there was no mistaking it—this was the Nine Souls Jade.


There was no doubt about it.


The crystal in Teng Yun Ge Shang’s hand was the genuine Nine Souls Jade.


The deposit truly had been prepared.


Seeing the Nine Souls Jade, Ning Fan couldn’t entirely conceal the excitement in his heart.


It seemed Teng Yun Ge Shang hadn’t lied to him.


The man truly had two pieces of Nine Souls Jade, giving them the basis to carry their cooperation forward.


However, Ning Fan was unaware of the enormous price Teng Yun Ge Shang had paid for this deposit.


This piece of the Nine Souls Jade did not originally belong to Teng Yun Ge Shang—it had been stolen from Konstantin by a protégé of the Thief Saint on Teng Yun Ge Shang’s orders.


Because of this, Konstantin had descended into madness, making numerous irrational moves.


“Now that I’ve brought out the deposit, have you decided about the matter we spoke of?”


Teng Yun Ge Shang placed the Nine Souls Jade on the table, satisfied with the way Ning Fan’s gaze was fixed on it—unable to look away.


It confirmed to him that Ning Fan wasn’t a man free of desires; there were indeed things that could control him.


At this moment, Teng Yun Ge Shang seemed to see an opportunity to manipulate Ning Fan.


Could he use the Nine Souls Jade to bring Ning Fan under his control?


Ning Fan was unaware of what Teng Yun Ge Shang was thinking.


If he had known, he would have scoffed at the notion.


This man’s thoughts were far too wishful.


Though Ning Fan desired the Nine Souls Jade, it did not mean he was willing to be controlled by anyone.


“Don’t rush.


I still have a few questions to ask.”


Not going to agree yet?


Teng Yun Ge Shang furrowed his brows, puzzled by Ning Fan’s response.


He couldn’t discern Ning Fan’s intentions.


The deposit—the piece of Nine Souls Jade—was right in front of him, practically within reach.


What was there to hesitate about?


Teng Yun Ge Shang couldn’t understand what Ning Fan was still thinking over.


“If you have other requests, I can consider them.


But I hope you won’t go overboard!”


Teng Yun Ge Shang said coldly.


Ning Fan’s attitude was starting to rile him.


He had already shown such sincerity, yet Ning Fan continued to play games with him.


Teng Yun Ge Shang was frank; he was getting annoyed.


He had neither the patience nor the interest to waste time with Ning Fan.


This deal could be settled with a simple yes or no.


If Ning Fan pushed too far, Teng Yun Ge Shang didn’t mind ensuring that Ning Fan would not leave here alive, erasing him from existence.


Ning Fan narrowed his eyes, sensing the killing intent rising within Teng Yun Ge Shang.


It was clear that Teng Yun Ge Shang was agitated.


Having grasped the man’s inner thoughts, Ning Fan remained calm.


He wasn’t planning anything unreasonable; he simply wanted to ask some questions.


“Don’t be hasty.


I just have a few questions.


They should be easy for you to answer!”


Ning Fan replied with a smile, his expression appearing mockingly casual.


It was as if he was teasing Teng Yun Ge Shang, questioning why he was so tense.


Teng Yun Ge Shang caught the implied meaning in Ning Fan’s words but remained indifferent outwardly.


It wasn’t a case of sensitivity—rather, Ning Fan’s ambiguous back-and-forth behavior was testing his patience unfairly, and Teng Yun Ge Shang had reached his limit.


If Ning Fan tried pulling more tricks this time, Teng Yun Ge Shang wouldn’t stand for it.


He would make Ning Fan pay dearly.


His tolerance had boundaries!


“What is Konstantin’s true strength?


I must know!”


Ning Fan asked solemnly, his tone weighted with seriousness.


His top concern now was Konstantin’s strength.


Although he had decided to cooperate with Teng Yun Ge Shang, he wasn’t about to recklessly attempt an assassination of Konstantin without understanding the man’s capabilities.


If trouble arose from the lack of information, he’d only have himself to blame.


So this was what he wanted to know!


Teng Yun Ge Shang nodded.


This question posed no issue for him.


Taking a moment to think, he replied, “True Origin Realm, Intermediate Stage.


Are you scared now?”


A cultivator at the Intermediate Stage of the True Origin Realm was far beyond the capabilities of Ning Fan, who was only at the Intermediate Stage of the Object-Manipulating Realm.


However, there was one thing Teng Yun Ge Shang hadn’t mentioned: in this operation, he wasn’t relying solely on Ning Fan’s strength alone.


To ensure the assassination’s complete success, Teng Yun Ge Shang planned to contribute as well.


“True Origin Realm, Intermediate Stage…”


Ning Fan considered this information seriously.


It came as no surprise to him that Konstantin possessed such strength; after all, he was Umbrella’s top figure.


Looking back at the individuals Umbrella had sent previously, each one was at the Object-Manipulating Realm’s Peak stage, though their abilities varied in subtle ways.


If Konstantin had an Intermediate Stage True Origin Realm cultivation, what about Teng Yun Ge Shang?


This question sparked curiosity within Ning Fan as he observed Teng Yun Ge Shang more carefully.


During their first encounter, Ning Fan felt that this man was unfathomable.


But as his own abilities grew, Teng Yun Ge Shang’s aura became gradually decipherable—no longer as terrifying as Ning Fan had once perceived.


After a moment of watching Teng Yun Ge Shang, Ning Fan shifted his gaze back to the Nine Souls Jade on the table.


“Do you really think I’d be afraid?”
