Lu Xun was furious.
He had never imagined that the archery skills of a junior in the Soul Gathering Realm would reach such a terrifying level.
You ask if he dared to make a move...
The answer was obvious.
He dared not.
Even though he possessed the cultivation of the Celestial Ghost Realm.
But there was something peculiar about the bow in Guo Yu's hand.
He was genuinely afraid that the other party would shoot him.
If that were to happen.
It would be a loss that far outweighed the gain.
"I'm reunited with my beloved today and don't wish to slaughter anyone. Begone!" Chen Nan's impatient voice echoed through the heavens and earth.
"We'll see!"
Lu Xun left behind a harsh threat and, in a fit of rage, disappeared into the night with his men.
He naturally did not believe Chen Nan's claims of reuniting with his beloved and not wishing to kill.
In his opinion.
Chen Nan dared not lay a hand on him at all.
After all, he had the Zheng family backing him.
Chen Nan was merely finding an excuse for himself.
And he...
Had to provide Chen Nan with an excuse.
Because he truly feared this unpredictable fellow.
"I'll go and deal with those corpses first."
Di Ting left those words and landed on the ground.
Soon.
All the corpses went into its belly.
Chen Nan, along with the Lu sisters, entered the room and asked with concern, "Are you injured?"
Lu Qingqing's face was full of adoration. "Although I sustained some external injuries, your appearance has healed all my pain."
Chen Nan shivered.
Damn!
So cheesy...
Lu Bailing bowed deeply to Chen Nan with a heartfelt expression. "Thank you, Young Master Chen, for saving our lives once again. We have nothing to repay you with but our willingness to be your wives."
Chen Nan looked embarrassed.
Can we talk about this when it's just the three of us?
Guo Yu noticed Chen Nan's predicament and immediately spoke, "Brother, the Taiqing Divine Pill was something you painstakingly refined. To create that pill, you risked your life and ventured deep into the barren lands."
"Now that it's finally refined, why are you giving it to the Lu family?"
"Moreover."
"With your skills, you could have easily rescued Sister Bailing and Sister Qingqing from the Lu family."
He had too many questions.
Lu Qingqing was greatly surprised. "What? Young Master Chen actually went to the barren lands for us?"
As demon beasts.
They naturally knew the dangers of the barren lands.
"Quick, take off your clothes and let me see if you're injured." Lu Bailing was also flustered, terrified that Chen Nan might be harmed.
Chen Nan smiled slightly. "It's fine. With my abilities, no one in the barren lands can harm me."
Hearing this.
The Lu sisters' hearts finally settled.
Although Chen Nan kept saying he wasn't injured.
They had already decided.
No matter what, they would give him a thorough check later.
Qi Ye spoke, "Another point, our mission is to eliminate the Lu family."
"Today presents a golden opportunity. Why did you let the Lu family go?"
"If they give the Taiqing Divine Pill to King Yama, the Lu family will undoubtedly gain his favor."
"At that point, it will be difficult to eliminate them!"
Kuai Tu, Qiu Shui, and Bai Yu also looked at Chen Nan.
Although Lu Xun was very strong.
They all knew Chen Nan's capabilities.
If Chen Nan wanted to destroy the Lu family.
They would not have been able to leave alive.
Yet, he had let the Lu family leave with the Taiqing Divine Pill.
This was contrary to their mission.
It was rather perplexing.
Chen Nan frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "That Taiqing Divine Pill... is poisoned."
"Yes, after I refined it, I smeared it with the toxins of various poisonous herbs."
"Not much, just a few dozen kinds, perhaps."
Boom!
As soon as these words were spoken.
Everyone felt their scalps tingle.
Dozens of toxins, and he called that not much?
And!
That Taiqing Divine Pill was meant for King Yama!
At this moment.
Everyone's hearts and souls trembled.
Chen Nan was playing a very dangerous game.
There was a high possibility of him getting burned.
"I understand. Master intends to use King Yama's blade to destroy the Lu family?" Qi Ye asked, his voice trembling.
"Exactly!" Chen Nan grinned, revealing a brilliant smile. "Although the Taiqing Divine Pill contains dozens of poisons, with King Yama's cultivation at the peak Ghost King Realm."
"Those poisons likely won't kill him."
"But he will certainly be furious."
"By then, even if the Lu family has the Grand Tutor as their backer."
"Do you think they will still be able to live?"
Qiu Shui marveled, "Master's move is truly brilliant."
"Letting the Lu family go today will surely make them complacent."
"Even though they suffered heavy casualties, they still obtained the Taiqing Divine Pill."
"As long as they present the Taiqing Divine Pill to King Yama."
"They will undoubtedly gain his favor."
"Little do they know that Master's true intention is to use King Yama's blade to destroy the Lu family."
"Killing with a borrowed knife!"
"This move is simply masterful, I am utterly impressed!"
Bai Yu suddenly said, "What if the Lu family reveals that you refined this pill? Have you considered the consequences of offending King Yama?"
As soon as these words were spoken.
The expressions on everyone's faces changed.
A tremendous sense of pressure arose in their hearts.
Even if they could indeed eliminate the Lu family.
Compared to King Yama.
A mere Lu family was nothing.
What was truly terrifying was King Yama, one of the Ten Kings of Hell!
Chen Nan smiled. "Do you think the Lu family will tell King Yama that someone else refined this pill?"
"If they did, wouldn't they be handing over the credit that rightfully belongs to the Lu family to me?"
Bai Yu nodded slightly. "That may be true, but King Yama will surely uncover the truth and then set his sights on us."
"It doesn't matter." Chen Nan appeared as nonchalant as a dead pig unafraid of boiling water. "I gave the pill to the Lu family anyway. Who knows what tricks the Lu family played with it?"
"Even going back ten thousand steps, even if I were the one who poisoned it, I wouldn't have known they intended to give it to King Yama!"
"In fact, who refined the pill isn't important."
"What's important is who presents it to King Yama."
------
"Ancestor, our Lu family has lost over ten disciples in today's battle!" Lu Yuan said with great sorrow.
The Lu family was originally a prominent family in Fengdu City.
Not only did they have the Grand Tutor behind them.
But they also had over twenty enshrined experts in their clan.
Yet now.
All their enshrined experts were dead.
And even the Lu family members had suffered heavy casualties.
Lu Xun looked at the pill emanating a divine glow in his palm. "Let alone losing over ten disciples, even if only one person remained, with this pill in my hand, the Lu family will become the strongest prominent family in Fengdu City!"
"I never imagined that that brat Chen Nan would actually refine the Taiqing Divine Pill."
"Hahahaha!"
"However, he never dreamed that he would be working for my Lu family, would he?"
"Let's go, return to the family and inform Lord King Yama to give him the pill."
