A strong sense of despair filled everyone's hearts.
They thought.
Finding Chen Nan and that monster would lead to their defeat.
And to uncover the whereabouts of the Fire God Cult's opportunity.
Never did they imagine.
They had opened the door to their own demise.
"Fellow Daoist, I am the sect leader of the Flying Dagger Sect. I am willing to apologize to you and hope you will show mercy and spare us!" The old man who had previously used the Rain-Bringing spell bowed deeply to Chen Nan.
If they couldn't win, they would surrender.
Although such an action was shameful.
They could no longer afford to care about anything else.
The others also apologized one after another.
Hoping Chen Nan would grant them a way out.
Not only that.
They also swore allegiance to Chen Nan.
And to merge their forces under Chen Nan's command.
To contribute all their wealth and cultivation resources to Chen Nan.
Chen Nan licked his lips upon hearing this: "Not bad, this offer is indeed tempting."
Everyone rejoiced.
Indeed.
No one could refuse money and cultivation resources.
At this moment.
Chen Nan's voice sounded again: "However, I have a question I wish to ask you all."
"Asking is too much."
"Yes, Fellow Daoist can ask any question. Don't use 'asking,' we can't bear it!"
Those Soul Devouring Realm experts spoke.
Chen Nan: "If, today, I were to be defeated by you, and I begged for mercy, would you spare my life?"
As soon as these words were spoken.
Everyone's expressions froze.
They felt an invisible hand grip their throats.
Giving them a near-suffocating illusion.
"Your hesitation is the most honest answer," Chen Nan sighed. "Since that is the case, then you cannot blame me!" With that, the Dragon Binding Chain in his hand shot through the air.
Like lightning, it instantly pierced the chest of the Flying Dagger Sect leader.
Then it swept through the air.
In an instant.
Those dozen or so Shapeshifting Realm experts and Soul Devouring Realm experts were pierced by the chain.
Like grasshoppers on a string.
Fierce flames ignited upon their bodies.
Screams echoed incessantly.
"Let's fight him!"
The soul of the Flying Dagger Sect leader left his body and flew towards Chen Nan.
Even if he died!
He wanted to drag Chen Nan down with him!
The souls of the other Soul Devouring Realm experts also left their bodies and attacked Chen Nan.
Di Ting saw this and secretly shook his head.
A group of unlucky children.
You are helping him share his pain!
It knew Chen Nan's predicament.
Chen Nan's soul was currently being burned by fire laws.
If he were alone.
He would have to bear all the fire laws.
But if there were others.
They would share those fire laws.
What they seemed to be trying to do was kill Chen Nan.
But in reality, they would help Chen Nan bear the pain.
As expected.
When those Soul Devouring Realm experts entered Chen Nan's sea of consciousness.
They also saw the scene within his sea of consciousness.
His sea of consciousness had also turned into a raging sea of fire.
The scorching heat was devouring their souls.
A despair beyond imagination enveloped their hearts.
They wanted to leave Chen Nan's sea of consciousness.
But there was no way back.
Because Chen Nan had already sealed his sea of consciousness.
Finally, someone could help him share his pain.
If they were allowed to leave.
Wouldn't that be missing this heaven-sent opportunity?
In an instant.
The souls of those Soul Devouring Realm experts were annihilated.
With their capacity to endure, they couldn't last more than seven seconds.
But for Chen Nan.
The value of their existence was almost zero.
Even if they helped Chen Nan bear some of the power of the fire laws.
It was still less than one ten-thousandth.
He still felt a swelling sensation.
His body and soul were on the verge of exploding.
Suddenly.
A powerful aura emanated from afar.
A young man in a black robe with white eyebrows flew through the air.
Two old men followed behind him.
The three were very strong.
Much stronger than the previous ones.
Seeing the three appear.
Di Ting's eyes revealed a look of dread.
Although it didn't know the origin of these three.
It knew.
Only those in the Body Seizing Realm could fly through the air.
The young man with white eyebrows looked at Chen Nan, his indifferent gaze revealing a hint of disbelief: "I never thought it would be you, this ant, who obtained the Fire God Cult's opportunity."
"If you don't want to die, I advise you to hand over the Fire God Cult's opportunity."
"Otherwise, I will take your head."
Chen Nan's eyes were filled with madness: "Many people have wanted to covet the Fire God Cult's opportunity, but I have killed them all."
"If you want it, then come at me!"
He was already looking for a place to vent the energy within him.
Now that powerful figures had appeared.
He truly wanted to say thank you.
"Young Sect Leader, I will deal with him!" An old man behind the young man stepped forward and instantly appeared in the void in front of Chen Nan. He extended his palm and grabbed from a distance.
A huge rift appeared deep within the void.
Countless swords flew out from the rift.
Like dense raindrops, they swept towards Chen Nan.
Chen Nan looked up, staring blankly at the long swords descending from the sky.
This move had such grandeur.
He really wanted to learn it!
Without time to think.
Countless long swords pierced his body.
Oh.
They only pierced his body.
They did not cause him any harm.
"I didn't expect people from Hidden Sword Villa to also come seeking the opportunity of my Guangling Prefecture!"
"What a rare visitor!"
A disdainful voice echoed through heaven and earth: "A while ago, during the flood in Guangling Prefecture, I didn't see people from your Hidden Sword Villa being so active!"
Immediately after.
A grey-robed old man with an ethereal demeanor appeared in the void.
He had one hand behind his back, and his long hair fluttered in the wind.
Exuding immense presence.
"Those three people are actually from Hidden Sword Villa?" Chen Nan felt a surge of surprise.
Ever since he got to know the beautiful sister, the Valley Master of Hundred Flowers Valley, Du Yuan.
Chen Nan had learned about some of the forces in the Underworld.
The Underworld had at least eight hundred to a thousand sects and forces of various sizes.
However.
Those truly powerful and well-established were the five great hidden sects.
The strength of these five great hidden sects surpassed that of other forces.
Hundred Flowers Valley was one of them.
Hidden Sword Villa was also one of the five great hidden sects.
Among the five great hidden sects, Hidden Sword Villa was the most renowned.
The reason was that their sword-hiding techniques could kill people invisibly.
Just as Chen Nan had seen before.
The sword-hiding technique was truly terrifying.
"Treasures of the world belong to those who are capable. Daoist Wuxin, do you intend to hoard the Fire God Cult's treasure?" The young man with white eyebrows' eyes held a hint of disdain.
Even when facing the Sect Master of the Moon Worship Cult, he didn't show any fear.
Even though he was young.
He had lived for over a thousand years.
He was of the same generation as 'Wuxin.'
The Sect Master of the Moon Worship Cult, Wuxin, chuckled lightly: "Even if I wanted to hoard the Fire God Cult's treasure, I'm afraid the Daoists from the other three factions wouldn't allow it, would they?"
"Everyone, since you're here, then show yourselves!"
As soon as these words were spoken.
A stench of extreme foulness wafted from afar.
The Sect Master of the Five Poisons Cult, stepping on countless venomous insects, enveloped in a cloud of poisonous gas, flew over.
Immediately after.
An old man in a green robe, with one hand behind his back, holding a jade flute, also appeared in mid-air.
He was the楼主 of the Heavenly Net Tower.
After the two appeared.
Flowers bloomed all over the night sky.
The refreshing floral fragrance dispelled the stench emanating from the Sect Master of the Five Poisons Cult.
This person was none other than.
The Valley Master of Hundred Flowers Valley.
Du Yuan, the beautiful sister with whom Chen Nan had had a connection before.
