Regarding Fate Energy, Chu Ning now had a better understanding.
Fate Energy is very mysterious and closely related to the Heavenly Dao.
If he held a grudge against Zhang Bairan, or wasn't intent on seizing the Fortune Sphere, killing Zhang Bairan wouldn't bring about Fate Energy backlash. However, if he had that intent, backlash was inevitable.
The Heavenly Dao cannot be deceived.
Even if he didn't act himself, arranging for someone else to deal with Zhang Bairan would yield the same result; the causation would still be attributed to him.
"This Fortune Sphere is essentially Zhang Bairan's death immunity card."
Chu Ning muttered, if Zhang Bairan encountered a formidable adversary, as long as he revealed his possession of the Fortune Sphere, anyone who knew of its existence wouldn't be able to resist the temptation. Continuing to attack Zhang Bairan after that would just invite Fate Energy backlash.
"Wait... Maybe Zhang Bairan himself doesn't even know this."
