The Devil Goddess' Scheme (3)

The Devil Goddess dropped Tang Bufan in a forest that was outside the Heavens Ridge Villa, "You are safe now."

 Tang Bufan smiled weakly, "Thank you. If it is not for you, I will be slaughtered by the acting sect leader."

 The Devil Goddess said behind her golden mask, "This matter isn't over yet. I didn't expect for Qin Keqin to have shown up all of a sudden. She is indeed formidable. It must be the vixen fairy that has alerted her to you. You have indeed made a formidable enemy."

 Tang Bufan had turned ashen immediately but he had a sudden thought so he asked, "Just now, why don't you finish her off?"

 The Devil Goddess replied coldly, "Although I am able to defeat her but it won't be a matter of a few strokes. Moreover that vixen fairy is also nearby. If they have combined together to attack me, I may even be injured by them. I am not ready to fight a foe that is in the dark."

 Tang Bufan smiled bitterly, "Then what shall I do next?"

 The Devil Goddess said, "You have better flee from this place as far as possible. The further the better. In fact, you should flee with all your assets from New Empyrean City if you still value your life. I am sure that Qin Keqin and Shi Guanyin will be personally hunting you in your home residence next. So you have better made haste and run."

 Tang Bufan was stunned and he had turned very pale, "You are not helping me? I am the head of the Tang Clan now. I can't leave just like this. I will lose everything..."

This was not like the cultivation stories that he had read; a godly help was supposed to be unconditional and the MC will get all the help to propel him to greatness and all the beautiful maidens will also fall for him left and right...

 The Devil Goddess laughed coldly as she cut him short, "I have already helped you more than once. How do I help you to run? How you run depends on your own running ability. In this world, there is no one who can help you to run. Or do you mean you are asking me to help you to fend them off?"

 Tang Bufan was shocked by her coldness, "But…I've your mark…I'm someone who can be of use to you. Surely you got to help me…"

 The Devil Goddess hummed coldly, "I can help you to fend them off but I can't help fend off all your enemies for you day in and night out. Moreover I am not your servant. Since it is so inconvenient for me, I may as well finish you off right away to save myself needless trouble…"

 When Tang Bufan heard her, he had immediately turned ashen and he was banging his head on the ground, "Devil Goddess, please have your mercy on me-"

 While he was begging for his mercies, the Devil Goddess had already vanished into the darkness of the night.

 This Devil Goddess was actually Feng Minyue and as she left, she silently said. "If it is not because I've to follow the plans of my sister saintess, I would have already killed a despicable cad like you on the spot. This is but a small punishment for you."

When she was far away, she began to shake her head lightly as she muttered. "Fan Yuqing, all these so that you can punish the one that had bullied or looked down on Lu Qingyun?"

Indeed, Fan Yuqing aka Qin Keqin is planning to make Lu Qingyun into the most popular protege in the Heavens Ridge Villa and she was secretly removing all the obstrucles from him. 

Fan Yuqing's real name is Fan Yuqin. And her present name is derived from the last word of her name. Hence, she had called herself Qin Keqin. Keqin means 'intimacy with Qin' too.

But for now, Fan Yuqing is her 'real name' and is a name that she has been using since she had restored her cultivation core. Yuqing means crystal jade or the jade is very clear. Hence, this accounts for another fake alias of hers, the Fairy Jade Light. 

Feng Minyue was now thinking of Xuan Danfeng who did not come and this was expected; she did not want to be involved with Fan Yuqin's petty schemes and prefered to drink herself silly in some god-forsaken places. 

Xuan Xuefeng is actually the matriarch of the Lofty Snow Palace, one of the nine most powerful celestial cultivation sect in the Nine Celestial Fraternity. Her Lofty Snow Palace naturally formed the Lofty Snow Holy Land and is ranked a middle-tier holy land. 

As for herself, she is the matriarch of the Heavenly Fragrance Villa, which forms the core of the Heavenly Fragrance Holy Land. Even the current Heavenly Fragrance Princess has to bow down in front of her. 

Her holy land is ranked second from bottom among the nine powerful orthodox holy lands. 

Beside the nine powerful orthodox holy lands, there are also the three powerful unorthodox holy lands and they called themselves the dark celestials. 

The three powerful unorthodox holy lands are headed by Fan Yuqing as the Devil Goddess and even the dark celestials do not know Fan Yuqing's real face as she dominated them by her sheer cultivation strength.

Normally, a seventh realm cultivator can be equalled to a seventh rank profound beast. The profound beasts can't cultivate so they are given rank instead of a cultivation realm. 

However, this only applies to the mortal profound beasts as the same realm cultivator would actually lose to the other more powerful grades. 

The profound beasts are further classified into the mortal profound beast, mystic profound beast, supreme profound beast, epic profound beast and godly profound beasts

Except for the epic profound beasts and the goldly profound beasts, Fan Yuqing can handle most types of the profound beasts, even a 9th rank profound beast. That is how strong she really is!
