As a master exorcist, Zhang Tianlong was aware of the fates of Zhao Feiyan and Lü Zhi. These two were notorious, cruel, and wicked women in history, directly cast into hell after their deaths. Therefore, upon learning their identities, he was terrified. After all, vengeful spirits sent to hell would endure eternal torment and torture, let alone return to the mortal realm or even qualify for reincarnation.
However, now, he felt a profound reverence and deep unease towards the person who had released them. If it was indeed Chen Nan who had freed them, how terrifying must his strength be? He had offended him. Would he face a good end?
"You shouldn't try to figure out that adult's origins. Even if I told you, you wouldn't understand!" Lü Zhi's voice was cold. "You just need to know that he is someone you cannot afford to provoke!"
A cold glint flashed in Zhao Feiyan's eyes. "Indeed. You should be fortunate that the adult is kind-hearted and merely had us frighten you. Otherwise, you people would already be dead!"
She paused, then added, "Vacate this house quickly. If you truly anger that adult, you will regret making an enemy of him."
"That's all I have to say. You're on your own!"
"Yes, yes, yes, we'll leave now!" Liu Jianchun nodded repeatedly like a pecking chick. Chen Nan possessed such terrifying power that he could send vengeful spirits imprisoned in hell to the mortal realm to threaten them. One could imagine how terrifying his abilities were. There was no need to offend such a great figure over this house.
The next moment, Zhao Feiyan and Lü Zhi disappeared into the sunset.
"Jianchun, not a single word of what happened today can be leaked, or you'll bear the consequences!" Zhang Tianlong's face was grave. He had a premonition that the world seemed to be undergoing some unknown changes. He dared not dwell on it too much.
"Yes!" Liu Jianchun's face was tense. Let alone thinking of leaking today's events, even if he did speak of it, would anyone believe such absurd and bizarre happenings?
Seeing that it was getting late, Liu Jianchun said, "Cousin, you've traveled a long way. Let's go eat first!"
"No, you go back!" Zhang Tianlong's face was grave. "I need to go to Mocheng."
Liu Jianchun didn't insist and drove away with his son. Zhang Tianlong looked at his disciple, his expression solemn. "Help me up. We must go to Mocheng tonight!"
A young man helped Zhang Tianlong up and asked in confusion, "Master, why are we going to Mocheng?"
Zhang Tianlong replied, "Jingang's defeat by Chen Nan is known to everyone in the martial world."
"And before that, Jingang promised to follow Chen Nan if he lost to him."
"I'm worried that old Guo Mo won't let him go."
"No, no, no. That old scoundrel Guo Mo holds grudges. He definitely won't let him go."
"If that's the case..."
"He will inevitably offend Chen Nan."
"At that time, even if old Guo Mo is one of the Eight Grandmasters, how could he defeat Chen Nan?"
He and Guo Mo had been good friends for many years. Naturally, he did not want to see Guo Mo offend Chen Nan.
The young disciple sighed, "Master, even if we go to Mocheng tonight, it might be too late."
Zhang Tianlong shivered and quickly said, "Quick, call Guo Mo for me."
The disciple quickly took out his phone and dialed Guo Mo's number. The call was connected quickly. A displeased voice came from the other end. "Are you calling today to mock me? There's no need. Even if you mock me, I won't hold it against you."
The person speaking was Guo Mo, one of the Eight Grandmasters in the martial world.
"I don't have time to argue with you now!" Zhang Tianlong said in a low voice. "Where is Jingang now? You haven't done anything to him, have you?"
Guo Mo gritted his teeth. "That ungrateful wretch not only lost me face but also betrayed me and defected to someone else. How could I keep such a person?"
Zhang Tianlong quickly said, "Old Guo, listen to my advice."
"Absolutely do not touch Jingang."
"Not only that, but you must also let him down the mountain."
Guo Mo laughed in anger. "I'd like to know why I, my own disciple, cannot touch him, and why I must let him leave? If that were the case, how would I, Guo Mou, establish myself in the martial world in the future?"
Zhang Tianlong asked, "Don't you feel that the name Chen Nan sounds familiar?"
Guo Mo replied, "It's a very common name. Even if it sounds familiar, isn't that normal?"
"You are being foolish!" Zhang Tianlong said in a low voice. "Recall the collapse of the eighteenth minor world thirteen years ago, and the occupation of Wuyang City by cultivators."
"Recall who caused the downfall of the Four War Gods who dominated Daxia ten years ago?"
He had felt that the name Chen Nan sounded familiar before. But as Guo Mo said, Chen Nan was a common name. He hadn't taken it to heart. However, upon learning that Zhao Feiyan and Lü Zhi had been guided by Chen Nan to frighten the people in the courtyard, he instantly thought of that terrifying and peerless existence from over a decade ago. It was for this reason that he felt compelled to warn his old friend.
Guo Mo pondered for a moment. "You mean to say that the Chen Nan who defeated Jingang is the Chen Nan who saved the world ten years ago?"
Zhang Tianlong responded, "Yes, it's highly likely."
Guo Mo sneered repeatedly. "True Master Zhang, wake up. I admit that Chen Nan has contributed to the nation and the people. But ten years ago, all cultivators, including Chen Nan, disappeared from Earth overnight. How could that Chen Nan return to the mortal world?"
They had heard about what happened over a decade ago.
Zhang Tianlong stated, "We cannot overlook the fact that Chen Nan disappeared for two years and then crushed the Four War Gods upon his return, just because all cultivators disappeared from Earth overnight!"
"Moreover, none of us can guarantee that Chen Nan, after disappearing for ten years, has not returned to Earth."
"Of course."
"These are not baseless speculations."
"I am currently in the capital and just encountered two vengeful spirits."
"Vengeful spirits beyond your imagination."
Guo Mo sneered repeatedly. "Really? I don't believe it!"
"Zhao Feiyan, Lü Zhi!" Zhang Tianlong's face was filled with residual fear. "I encountered these two vengeful spirits who should be in the eighteenth level of hell. Their strength is terrifying. They not only swallowed the five heavenly lightning bolts released by the Five-Thunder Exorcism Talisman but also swallowed the thousand-year-old peach wood sword of my sect."
"Their appearance is all because of Chen Nan."
"Yes, I don't know if the Chen Nan who defeated Jingang is the same as the God of Protection from over a decade ago."
"But one thing is clear, this person cannot be provoked."
"Release Jingang and let him follow Chen Nan."
"In this way, you can also forge a good relationship with Chen Nan."
"Otherwise, your Changchun View might be in grave danger!"
Guo Mo let out a disdainful laugh. "I'm sorry, your call is too late. I have already crippled Jingang's cultivation."
"But it's not a big problem."
"I'd like to see if this Chen Nan is the supreme existence from ten years ago."
"And see if he can harm me, Guo Mou!"
