CHAPTER 868: CHAPTER 868: THE PURSUERS

The members of the Qingshan Sect were all very disappointed.

Chen Nan left, and it was as if their hearts had a piece missing.

Looking back, it seemed like they gathered at Qingshan Sect because of Chen Nan, but now Chen Nan was forcibly driven out of the sect, and they were powerless.

"Now we can only safeguard the Qingshan Sect, we must not let the Qingshan Sect, which Chen Nan worked hard to build, be destroyed by us."

Qing Xuan spoke up first.

Qing Yao wiped her tears, nodded heavily, and said, "Yes, I want to stay here and wait for his return."

"I believe Chen Nan will definitely return!"

Jiang Zheng looked at everyone’s appearance and felt somewhat comforted in his heart.

"Disciple, see? Your efforts were not in vain."

"Rest assured, the Qingshan Sect will definitely get better and better, and one day, become your stronghold!"

He turned his head and looked at the disheveled Zhao Sheng and Feng Jie.

"You heard it, Chen Nan is no longer a disciple of our Qingshan Sect; whatever he does has nothing to do with us."

These words were easy to say, but they made him incredibly pained.

How could it have nothing to do with them? That was his most cherished disciple.

But for the Qingshan Sect, and not to betray Chen Nan’s goodwill, he had to say it this way!

After being blown away, Feng Jie and Zhao Sheng rolled a couple of times on the ground before standing up.

"Hmph, it better be like this!"

Now that Chen Nan had left the Qingshan Sect, they had no reason to trouble the Qingshan Sect and could only leave in anger.

The direction they were leaving in was exactly the same as the one Chen Nan took.

Clearly, the two intended to capture Chen Nan and claim credit.

"Will he be okay?"

Qing Yao asked worriedly.

Tang Zhirou sneered and comforted, "Don’t worry, he’ll be fine."

When Liu Tong, a Foundation Establishment cultivator of the eighth level, was killed, others didn’t know, but Tang Zhirou had already guessed the truth.

Although she was unconscious at the time, in her daze, she saw Chen Nan’s back.

So it must have been Chen Nan who saved her.

Even a Foundation Establishment cultivator of the eighth level didn’t scare Chen Nan, let alone two Foundation Establishment cultivators of the sixth level?

Everyone turned back to the sect with blessings and expectations.

From that day on, the entire Qingshan Sect seemed invigorated, with everyone holding their breath.

They didn’t want to be so weak that they couldn’t do anything if something like this happened again.

So, they needed to make the Qingshan Sect strong!

On the other side, Chen Nan, who left the Qingshan Sect, controlled his flying boat and flew into the distance, harboring greater resentment towards Master Xuanming’s relentless pursuit.

He also felt perplexed as to why Master Xuanming targeted him, a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator, so specifically?

Unfortunately, he forgot to ask when he killed Liu Tong last time.

Sitting on the flying boat, Chen Nan took out a map from his bosom, which covered the entire Yan State. The Qingshan Mountain Range, where the Qingshan Sect was located, was only a very small place in Yan State.

The map had a place marked by Chen Nan, called the Wuyin Mountain Range, which was the largest mountain range within Yan State, stretching for tens of thousands of miles.

Accompanying the mountain range was a vast boundless ancient forest, known as Wuyin Forest.

The mountain range and forest have always been a paradise for demon beasts, and the vast scope of the Wuyin Mountain Range housed countless demon beasts within.

At the same time, there were countless heavenly materials and earthly treasures in the mountain range, which attracted a large number of cultivators seeking treasures and hunting demon beasts.

Of course, the Wuyin Mountain Range was also dangerous, with countless cultivators losing their lives within the range every year, all seeking more cultivation resources.

This is the life of cultivators, battling with the heavens, the earth, demon beasts, and even other people, striving to seize resources for higher cultivation realms and the elusive "immortality."

The Wuyin Mountain Range was the place Chen Nan chose for his training and adventure.

Before at the Qingshan Sect, he was prepared, after all, his enemy was a Nascent Soul old monster, who might come knocking at any time.

So he had always been prepared to leave the Qingshan Sect to avoid bringing disaster to it, though he didn’t expect it to happen so soon.

Moreover, he understood that only in desperate situations could a cultivator fully unleash their potential, so he had long considered going out for training.

This time, the Yunxiao Sect’s disciples sought him out, giving him the perfect excuse to leave.

After controlling the flying boat for a full day and night, Chen Nan finally stopped, landing in a stone forest, where towering stones could be seen everywhere.

Normally, a Foundation Establishment cultivator of the fifth level could not control a flying boat for a day and night without the mana running out, being able to fly for a few hours was already impressive.

Yet, after flying for a day and night, not only was Chen Nan’s mana not exhausted, it was still very abundant.

He put away the flying boat, looked up at the sky, and a dangerous smile slowly crept onto his lips.

"They’re here."

Shortly after leaving the Qingshan Sect, he sensed someone was trailing him, and stopping in this stone forest was due to seeing that there was no one around for hundreds of miles.

This was the perfect place to kill and bury someone!

Sure enough, a flying boat quickly appeared in his view and landed right in front of him.

Who else could it be on the flying boat but Zhao Sheng and Feng Jie of the Yunxiao Sect?

"You’ve followed me all the way, it seems you’re determined to capture me and take me back?"

Chen Nan showed a mocking smile.

Zhao Sheng snorted coldly, looking at Chen Nan with fervently blazing eyes, this was a great opportunity to curry favor with the inner sect disciples of Yuantian Sect, how could he miss it?

"Chen Nan, you’ve been controlling the flying boat for a day and night without rest, truly extraordinary, but your mana must be exhausted by now, right?"

"Our brothers took turns controlling the flying boat, our mana is very abundant, you definitely won’t escape now!"

Feng Jie stepped forward impatiently, snorted coldly, and said, "Why are you wasting words with him? Just tie him up directly!"

"Chen Nan, I advise you to follow us obediently, you’ll suffer less pain that way, otherwise we’ll break your limbs and take you back, the result will be the same."

The two simultaneously drew their swords, flanking Chen Nan left and right.

Chen Nan sighed lightly and shook his head, "Actually, you could have just gone back to report to Xu Wencheng, and you’d still earn his favor, but you’re too greedy."

Just as his words fell, his eyes suddenly sharpened, murderous intent bloomed, and his body suddenly disappeared from the spot.

Small Shifting Technique!

"Not good, attack together!"

Zhao Sheng and Feng Jie were elite disciples of the Yunxiao Sect, strong and quite experienced in combat.

Upon sensing Chen Nan’s erupting murderous intent, their hearts suddenly sank.

Even a man-eating demon beast didn’t have such overwhelming murderous intent, how many must Chen Nan have killed to possess such killing intent?

So the two attacked at once, showing no mercy merely because Chen Nan’s cultivation level was weaker than theirs.

"Breaking Cloud!"

"Falling Cloud!"

In an instant, sword qi crisscrossed, and sword lights flickered!
