CHAPTER 843: CHAPTER 843: ARE YOU CHEN NAN?

Qing Yao found it hard to believe that Chen Nan could kill Liu Ping.

One must know that Liu Ping was a Foundation Establishment Cultivator at the eighth level, plus he had a Protective Dharma Treasure given by his Nascent Soul stage grandfather. How could he be taken down by a mere Foundation Establishment fourth-level cultivator?

Seeing her concerned look, Chen Nan smiled wryly.

"Then what do you say I should do? After leaving your place, he will definitely come after me. He might even implicate the entire Qingshan Sect."

"The best solution, naturally, is to kill him!"

"But this would completely offend Liu Ping’s grandfather!" Qing Yao looked worried, "He has already sent people to investigate, and even came to ask around in my Medicine Immortal Valley."

"Luckily, after you left that day, I haven’t left the Medicine Immortal Valley. Other disciples can testify, only then my suspicion was cleared. I’m afraid the investigation will lead to you."

Chen Nan smiled slightly and gently knocked Qing Yao on the head: "You fool, even you don’t believe I killed Liu Ping, how could others think so?"

Previously at Foundation Establishment fourth level, now merely at Foundation Establishment fifth level, Chen Nan’s current cultivation is his best disguise.

So even if they investigated, he wasn’t worried at all. Moreover, when he acted, he concealed his appearance, so no one would recognize him.

Of course, if Liu Ping’s grandfather has other means to track him, then he would have no choice.

The only way would be to become stronger before being discovered.

Qing Yao thought for a moment and then nodded: "That makes sense, but you should still be careful, sometimes they can be unreasonable."

"I understand, don’t worry." Chen Nan said with a cheerful smile, looking completely unbothered, "By the way, how is your father?"

Speaking of Qing Xuan, Qing Yao’s expression turned somber.

"The efficacy of the Spirit Cold Pill is getting weaker, my father can no longer get out of bed, he probably doesn’t have much time left."

Chen Nan smiled mysteriously, walked to the door, looked around to see no one was watching, then closed the door and activated the array set up outside the Alchemy Room.

After completely isolating themselves from outside probing, he sat down again.

Seeing his actions, Qing Yao panicked slightly, her face flushed red: "Chen Nan, are we doing it here? Will someone come? We can’t, it’s still daytime!"

Chen Nan was speechless with laughter, knowing that Qing Yao was overthinking.

"What are you thinking? I want to show you something."

Saying this, he extended his palm, and in his hand, a golden flame ignited, emitting a terrifying temperature.

"Is this... Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire?" Qing Yao exclaimed, quickly covering her mouth.

Chen Nan nodded with a smile: "Yes, it’s the Heaven-Burning Flame, ranked twenty-seventh among the Heaven and Earth Spirit Fires. I can use it to heal your father!"

"Really?" Qing Yao’s eyes widened immediately upon hearing this.

"Of course, when have I ever lied to you?" Chen Nan withdrew the flame with a flip of his hand, "To save your father, there are two ways. The first is to find higher-grade elixir pills, which we cannot achieve."

"The second is to fight poison with poison, using the Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire to consume the fire poison in your father’s body."

"That’s great, my father can be saved!" Qing Yao burst into tears of excitement, her father’s illness had been like a heavy stone pressing on her heart.

Now, that stone was finally gone.

"However, you have to wait a few more days," Chen Nan interrupted her joy, "after all, the people Liu Ping’s grandfather sent are still investigating. If your father suddenly recovers, it will surely arouse suspicion."

"Also, I need to familiarize myself with the Heaven-Burning Flame, at least to the point where I can control it without any error. After all, a mishap might harm your father."

Having hope, Qing Yao didn’t mind these few days, and quickly nodded: "Okay, I understand."

"Chen Nan, I really thank you, I..."

Not knowing what else to say to express her feelings, she simply hugged him and kissed Chen Nan on the cheek.

The soft touch made Chen Nan feel a little over the moon; just as he was about to take it further, he sensed someone approaching outside.

"Someone’s coming."

He got up, straightened his clothes, and after seeing that Qing Yao was also standing properly beside him, he went to deactivate the array and opened the door.

Standing at the door was Wang Sheng.

"Senior Brother, someone came here looking specifically for you."

"Oh?" Chen Nan immediately knew who had come, though he hadn’t expected it to be so soon.

Just as he was about to go out, Wang Sheng blocked his way with a serious face, "Senior Brother, those two people don’t seem friendly, they’re likely here to cause trouble."

"You should escape through the back mountain; we’ll cover for you here!"

Seeing his earnest demeanor, Chen Nan felt very moved, as if all his efforts during this period hadn’t been in vain.

"Haha, don’t worry. Even if they’re here to kill, they should have a reason. We have nothing to fear as we’ve done nothing wrong."

Chen Nan laughed heartily and strode outside.

Following behind him, Qing Yao would have believed Chen Nan weren’t the one who killed Liu Ping, if she hadn’t known better.

However, killing Liu Ping was indeed nothing against her conscience.

On the square, two cultivators were standing, exuding the aura of the Golden Core Middle Stage, wearing similar attire, clearly from the same sect.

"Are you Chen Nan?"

Chen Nan nodded, "Yes, and you are...?"

After seeing Chen Nan’s cultivation level, the two lost interest. In their view, how could Chen Nan, at merely Foundation Establishment fifth level, have killed Liu Ping?

Moreover, after committing murder, escape in front of numerous masters at the Immortal Cultivation Market?

Therefore, the culprit must be at least a Golden Core stage cultivator. Foundation Establishment Cultivator wasn’t even within their suspicions.

"We are disciples of the Piaomiao Sect, our sect elder’s grandson died in the nearby Immortal Cultivation Market. According to our investigation, there was bad blood between Liu Ping and you?"

Chen Nan candidly admitted: "Yes, Liu Ping tried to forcibly take my Dao companion, which is Fairy Qing Yao of the Medicine Immortal Valley, but didn’t succeed. I don’t know what happened afterward."

The two Piaomiao Sect disciples nodded, knowing that Liu Ping was indeed capable of such behavior.

Moreover, this matched what Fairy Qing Yao of Medicine Immortal Valley had said.

"Alright, we understand. If there’s any information, be sure to contact us promptly."

After saying this, the two left.

A sect leader who had just advanced to the Golden Core stage two days ago from a small sect wasn’t worth their investigation.

These two were unlucky to find out only after arriving that Liu Ping had a notorious reputation, and there were countless people wanting to kill him.

So their investigation faced many difficulties, as there were too many suspects.

Seeing them leave, Chen Nan finally let out a silent sigh of relief, he seemed to have dodged the bullet this time.

But the matter will inevitably be exposed one day, and he must cultivate quickly to gain the strength to protect himself!
