Chapter 2182: Chapter 2268: No Escape?

When Hua Guzi saw the demon slave appear, she knew this was from the Ancient Demon Clan, a power not inferior to Chen Nan. With this strike, she was bound to die.

Remembering how she narrowly escaped death before, now this bastard Chen Nan still wouldn’t let her go.

Tears involuntarily flowed from her eyes.

Even though she carried two powerful bloodlines, Chen Nan’s weapon, the Golden Phoenix Winged Spear, was not simple.

"Screech!"

Hua Guzi felt the rune ropes on her body suddenly snap, and the pressure on her naturally vanished.

She turned to look at the demon slave, her eyes filled with confusion.

This demon slave clearly didn’t seem to have slipped.

Although she was puzzled, she knew that at this moment, escaping was crucial, and her figure moved to flee at once.

But she was caught by the demon slave’s huge hand, pulled down from the void.

"You cannot leave yet!"

The demon slave said sternly.

Hua Guzi was so angry that she spat blood, her ugly face twitching with fury.

"What does Chen Nan want? Kill me or flay me, it’s up to him. If he wants to play with me, I’d rather die than wag my tail and beg."

The demon slave laughed, "You’ve changed, not bad. Your actions in the Ghost Mist Forest that day, to be honest, were something even our Demon Clan despised. But today, between life and death, your awareness is not wasted on our master’s effort."

The next moment, the demon slave extended a hand, and a core appeared in the palm.

That core shimmered with pure gold, yet terrifying energy surged on it.

As soon as the core appeared, dozens of heavenly corpses in the Corpse Refining Forest exploded and perished.

"What a terrifying core, what a powerful war intent!"

Hua Guzi noticed at a glance that this core and the clashing war intent were rare existences.

The demon slave extended a hand, and the core slipped into Hua Guzi’s palm.

"It is yours now."

Hua Guzi held this core, shock flickering in her eyes because as soon as she received it, the strength within the core began to seep continuously into her body.

Even the war intent became gentle.

"This..."

"Alright, I’m leaving. The master said you’d better not ask anything and live well from now on, because you are not just living for yourself."

The demon slave smiled, "After you gain great power, you’d better not try to seek revenge on the master and don’t ask why. The master’s Bodhisattva Mantra is specifically designed to restrain those with the Asura bloodline. Even if your cultivation in the Asura Path reaches an extremely high realm, growing countless hands and feet, once the mantra is recited, you will be left with none."

The demon slave relayed Chen Nan’s words, intimidating Hua Guzi.

"Chen Nan..."

"Alright, I still have important matters to attend to. I’m leaving first. Swallow this core and slowly absorb its power and the war intent on it, which will benefit you greatly."

After saying this, the demon slave flew towards the direction of Chen Nan and the Three Corpse Taoist without looking back.

Outside the Corpse Refining Forest.

The Three Corpse Taoist chased Chen Nan out of the Corpse Refining Forest, only to see a dozen powerful figures from the Four Sects having already entered the Heavenly Corpse Sect.

The sect’s big formation had been removed, clearly the handiwork of Chen Nan, that scoundrel.

Seeing these people, the Three Corpse Taoist’s expression changed to an incredibly ugly one in an instant.

These ten-plus strong figures were the elders of the Four Sects, their powers terrifying.

Each had reached the Heavenly Position Realm, with countless Supreme Kings behind them.

"Three Corpse Taoist, Mo Chenzi, our Four Sects are visiting, and none of you even came to greet us; isn’t that rather poor manners?"

An old man with a white beard from Fenglei Pavilion cast a puzzled glance, but the corners of his mouth curled into a cold smile.

"This Heavenly Thunder Divine Fire is quite interesting. What major event happened at Heavenly Pillar Peak? Why do the disciples of your Heavenly Corpse Sect seem so heavily wounded and dead?"

That old man continued to ask.

The face of the Three Corpse Taoist went pale.

"The Sect Master has... has come out of seclusion!"

He nearly gritted his teeth to say it.

His voice trembled as he spoke.

The old man with the white beard’s expression changed, "What? The Lord of Corpse Control has come out?"

This old man clearly found it hard to believe, and his Divine Sense spread out, and after a few breaths, he spoke gravely to the crowd behind him, "The Lord of Corpse Control really has come out!"

The Lord of Corpse Control’s fame was fearsome, his name once struck terror into people’s hearts.

These dozen elders, though each in the Little Heavenly Position Realm, were each concerned upon hearing the Lord of Corpse Control’s name.

This time, discovering the Heavenly Corpse Sect attacked by Heavenly Thunder Divine Fire, and the sect’s grand array closed, they initially hoped to reap benefits opportunistically.

Grabbing advantages would naturally be ideal, but if there were not enough benefits, they were very unwilling to take on too much risk.

Chen Nan, seeing the dozen Heavenly Position strong people, hurriedly stopped.

Sweeping behind them, he indeed spotted several familiar faces, including the two Saints of Wind and Thunder.

Chen Nan cried inwardly, realizing trouble was brewing. Previously, he had killed many elite cultivators from Flame Sect and Shadow Sect. If they sought him to settle scores now, it would be troublesome.

Chen Nan forced a small smile onto his face and walked to the side of the two Saints of Wind and Thunder, "Elder Wind and Thunder, you two came too, that’s great."

Inside, Chen Nan was anxious. Though being caught himself didn’t matter much, he worried about his junior sister and the others. The Hundred Clan Domain was full of crises, and separating recklessly was unpredictable.

The gray-robed elder among the two Saints of Wind and Thunder chuckled, "Chen Nan, we initially thought killing the patriarch of the Fire Poison and Toutuo Shangren was tearing a big enough basket, but we didn’t expect you to bring such chaos to the Heavenly Corpse Sect in just a few days. You’re impressive!"

Both elders raised their thumbs.

The Heavenly Corpse Sect was a sect thousands of years old, with deep foundations unmatched by any, highly experienced in handling emergencies. Yet, today, heavenly thunder was constant, divine fire flying wildly, and the three floating islands of the sect were nearly destroyed at the top, middle into ruins, with countless potential disciples injured or killed below.

"Hehe, you’re joking, elders. How could someone like me, Chen Nan, have such great capabilities? To tell you the truth, right now, the Lord of Corpse Control and the eight elders are at war near Heavenly Pillar Peak. It seems internal strife has occurred, the Heavenly Corpse King of the Lord of Corpse Control died in the Sealing, Mo Chenzi wants to seize power. Now the Lord of Corpse Control is purging the sect. It’s a pity..."

Chen Nan deliberately paused for effect.

"What a pity?"

The two Saints of Wind and Thunder, hearing news of the Lord of Corpse Control, also became tense.

The Lord of Corpse Control was the soul of the Heavenly Corpse Sect; as long as he was alive, no one dared forcefully enter the sect.

He disappeared a thousand years ago, rumors stating he was in seclusion refining a stronger Heavenly Corpse King, with further whispers of his demise.

"A pity, the Lord of Corpse Control didn’t have a chance to recover his divine power before fighting the eight elders. At this moment, he’s likely in a dire situation..."

Chen Nan’s face showed regret, adding credibility to his words.

The two Saints of Wind and Thunder exchanged glances and stepped forward to the white-bearded elder in Fenglei Pavilion attire for a whispered conversation.

"Damn it, wasting so much time, not killing the scoundrel Three Corpse Taoist, and now I’m about to get dragged into it as well!" Chen Nan watched them report to the white-bearded elder, complaining internally.
