CHAPTER 867: CHAPTER 867: LEAVING THE QINGSHAN SECT

Once a woman stops being reasonable, even the greatest cultivators find themselves helpless.

Chen Nan coaxed for a long time before simply picking up Qing Yao and quickly returning to his room at the back of the mountain.

Along the way, the disciples they encountered all closed their eyes, pretending not to see anything.

They knew Elder Qing Yao had already been taken by their senior brother but didn’t expect them to be so bold.

"Oh, let me go!"

Qing Yao struggled, looking very shy.

But if she really wanted to resist, could she not break free from a Foundation Establishment Stage embrace with her Golden Core Stage cultivation?

It was merely a pretense.

Chen Nan was well aware of this and just smiled slightly. Once back in the room, he slammed the door shut, and the room was immediately filled with a spring-like atmosphere.

Two full days passed before Chen Nan emerged from the room, feeling refreshed, while Qing Yao behind him was all tender affection.

"Little rascal, you still can’t be fixed?"

Chen Nan was somewhat smug at heart and then prepared to head to the forbidden area to obtain his legacy.

But at that moment, an eager disciple from the Qingshan Sect ran up to Chen Nan.

"Senior brother, it’s not good! Someone has come to our sect and said they want to take you away!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Nan was immediately taken aback.

"Who are they?"

The disciple quickly replied, "They say they are from the Yunxiao Sect but have been ordered by the Yuantian Sect."

Hearing this, a loud crash sounded in Chen Nan’s mind.

The Yuantian Sect knows he’s at the Qingshan Sect!

Not only is he in danger, but the Qingshan Sect is in danger too!

He dared not delay and hurried to the Qingshan Sect’s gates, where Sect Leader Jiang Zheng and Elders Qing Xuan, Fei Xingzi, and others were already present.

Qing Yao followed with a solemn expression.

Outside the gate, two cultivators at the sixth level of the Foundation Establishment Stage stood arrogantly, showing no restraint even in the face of Golden Core Stage Jiang Zheng.

"I advise you to hand over Chen Nan obediently, or you’ll face the wrath of the Yuantian Sect, and your little Qingshan Sect will be wiped out!"

Feng Jie, looking down his nose at everyone, shouted boastfully.

Jiang Zheng’s face was dark, and his voice dripped with anger.

"Chen Nan is a disciple of my Qingshan Sect. I will never let you harm him!"

Zhao Sheng sneered, "Sect Leader Jiang, think carefully; is it worth offending the Yuantian Sect for just one Chen Nan?"

Beside him, Qing Xuan coldly snorted, his gaze piercing as a lightning bolt at Feng Jie and Zhao Sheng, the pressure of a Golden Core Stage expert pressing down on them unrelentingly.

Zhao Sheng and Feng Jie groaned and were directly forced to kneel, their expressions pained, yet they still shouted arrogantly.

"Are you really going to oppose the Yuantian Sect? Kill us, and your Qingshan Sect is doomed!"

Though Qing Xuan wanted very much to kill these two lackeys, they couldn’t afford to offend the Yuantian Sect.

At this moment, Chen Nan stepped forward, cupping his hands toward Jiang Zheng and Qing Xuan before turning to look at Feng Jie and Zhao Sheng.

"Who sent you?"

Zhao Sheng’s eyes lit up as he looked at Chen Nan, "You are Chen Nan? Finally found you. Come with us obediently, or the entire Qingshan Sect will be razed to the ground!"

Chen Nan did not answer him, merely asked again.

"Who sent you?"

Both were crushed to the ground by the pressure, unable to move. Even though their cultivation surpassed Chen Nan’s, they felt the coldness in his gaze.

That chill sent shivers down their hearts, as if they were being stared at by some powerful demon beast!

"It was... it was Master Xuanming’s second disciple, Xu Wencheng from the Yuantian Sect! So, are you scared now?"

At the mention of Master Xuanming, Jiang Zheng and Tang Zhirou’s expressions changed. They knew this was the villain who forced Chen Nan to flee.

Other people’s expressions also changed; after all, this was a Nascent Soul Realm great cultivator who could easily wipe them out with a flick of his hand.

Chen Nan turned his head, looking at Feng Jie and Zhao Sheng, his heart filled with disgust.

"I knew this day would come, but sending just you two worthless fools, isn’t that looking down on me too much?"

"Hmph, Chen Nan, what can you do? Do you think you can afford to offend the Yuantian Sect? No matter where you run, you’ll be found!" Zhao Sheng shouted stubbornly.

At this moment, a figure flew over, landing in front of the crowd—it was Dan Sect disciple Song Shuhu!

"Hmph, Chen Nan, Dan Sect has got your back. What do you plan to do now?"

"If they are not convinced, they can demand from Dan Sect for Chen Nan!"

The domineering words made Zhao Sheng and Feng Jie’s expressions change.

Originally, they felt invincible, but they were unaware of the recent changes at the Qingshan Mountain Range outside the Qingshan Sect.

If Chen Nan really joined the Dan Sect, even the Yuantian Sect would not dare to provoke easily.

After all, the Dan Sect was even more terrifying than the Yuantian Sect.

However, Chen Nan, standing to the side, knew very well that while the Dan Sect might be able to protect him, they could never protect the Qingshan Sect.

A Nascent Soul Stage great cultivator had a hundred ways to obliterate the Qingshan Sect without dirtying his hands.

The Qingshan Sect had been a lifesaver to him, and in these months, watching it grow from nothing filled him with a sense of achievement.

This place must not suffer because of him!

Jiang Zheng gritted his teeth and stepped forward, determined to protect Chen Nan at all costs.

Unexpectedly, Chen Nan shook his head toward him, his eyes showing a pleading light.

Jiang Zheng’s heart trembled, seemingly knowing what Chen Nan intended to do, his eyes reddening.

Ignoring the two clowns, Chen Nan turned to the people of Qingshan Sect.

"Everyone, thank you for everything, but some paths I ultimately have to walk alone."

"Witness this day, I, Chen Nan, am leaving the Qingshan Sect and from this day forward am no longer connected to it!"

The words left everyone in shock.

They knew very well that the reason Chen Nan did this was to not implicate the Qingshan Sect.

Qing Yao immediately stepped out, tears in her eyes, "I’ll go with you!"

Chen Nan smiled, gently smoothing Qing Yao’s hair.

"Don’t worry, I’m not so easy to die. Stay at Qingshan Sect and wait for me to return."

Then he looked at Jiang Zheng.

"Master, please forgive me for not being able to stay by your side."

Tang Zhirou’s eyes were red, wanting to speak but unable to.

"Alright, after I’m gone, you are the senior sister. Work hard to surpass me. I’ll be waiting at the summit for you."

One by one, Chen Nan said his farewells, finally bowing deeply to everyone.

"Everyone, until we meet again!"

Having made his decision, Chen Nan was not one to dawdle. He turned to Zhao Sheng and Feng Jie, giving them a deep look, and then left the Qingshan Sect.

Only by doing this could he ensure the Qingshan Sect wasn’t implicated, knowing that Master Xuanming would also care about appearances.

"Alas, why did it have to come to this?" Song Shuhu sighed regretfully, shaking his head.

Qing Xuan snorted coldly, his mana crashing like waves, directly sending Zhao Sheng and Feng Jie flying.

Loremaster’s daughter finally found an outstanding match; how did it end up like this?
