The blood-stained green vines twisted before Jiang Jiancheng.
Then.
Jiang Jiancheng felt the ground become unusually soft.
Then he was dragged into the earth by the green vines.
Swallowed by endless darkness.
It not only swallowed his sight.
But also swallowed his consciousness.
The next day.
Chen Nan left Jizhou.
Carrying Hengqiu, he got into Li Mu's Jetta.
Driving towards the capital along the highway.
Jian Ning and He Shanshan stayed in Jizhou.
In fact.
After two years apart, they had adapted to living alone.
As for Chen Nan...
It wasn't too late to find him when he was needed.
"Brother Nan, why did that mountain collapse?"
"Brother Nan, why did that building collapse?"
On the highway.
Hengqiu always had many unanswered questions.
This was the first time he had left Qingshangou Village.
He had originally intended to call Chen Nan uncle.
But he was ruthlessly rejected by Chen Nan.
You are the reincarnation of the Fire God.
Calling me uncle?
Am I worthy?
Li Mu said with a heavy heart, "That mountain was originally a 5A-rated scenic spot, but it was destroyed when the異魔 (Yi Mo) came."
"That building was a high-rise residential building. It was also destroyed when the 異魔 (Yi Mo) came, killing hundreds of people."
Hengqiu asked, "Didn't anyone step forward to resist the 異魔 (Yi Mo)?"
Li Mu paused, then smiled and said, "If no one had stepped forward, do you think only these buildings and mountains would have been destroyed?"
Hengqiu nodded repeatedly, his eyes firm, "I want to be a useful person to the country and the people when I grow up."
------
Departed at 8 AM.
By 4 PM.
The three arrived in Kyoto.
However.
A drizzling rain began to fall from the sky.
Li Mu drove the car to the western suburbs, the mass grave.
The purpose of coming here was simple.
To mourn Qin Hongyu and Meng Kuo, who had died tragically.
Because he heard that after killing Qin Hongyu and Meng Kuo, those people had thrown them into the mass grave and buried them carelessly.
The sky was overcast and drizzling.
The mass grave was full of mud.
After walking for about ten minutes.
Two graves appeared before the three of them.
The names Qin Hongyu and Meng Kuo were clearly written on the small tombstones.
"After they were buried here, I came once and erected a tombstone for them," Li Mu said with great grief. "I originally wanted to bury them in the cemetery so they could have a good resting place."
"However, those people have been looking for me."
"As a result, I didn't dare to return to Kyoto at all."
Chen Nan took a deep breath, "Since I'm back, let's give them a proper burial in the cemetery!"
"You think you still have this chance?"
Following a cold voice.
An old man, leading eight cultivators, appeared in mid-air.
Li Mu's eyes were filled with killing intent. "He's Yu Yuan, someone from Fan Chi. It was Fan Chi who led people to the Guardian's base camp and killed Hong Yu and Meng Kuo back then."
Yu Yuan assumed a condescending attitude. "I noticed two new tombstones here earlier, and I guessed it must have been you who erected them. So I've been waiting here for you to return. As expected, you've really come."
"You escaped two years ago, but today, I'll see where you can escape to."
He grinned sinisterly, determined to capture all the Guardians.
"Get down!"
Chen Nan roared.
His voice was like thunder.
Filled with endless anger.
The next second.
Yu Yuan and the others felt their heads split with pain.
They fell heavily from the sky like dumplings, landing in the mud, looking extremely disheveled.
Yu Yuan stood up in horror, "Who... who exactly are you?"
He was a peak Divine Transformation stage expert.
However.
He couldn't withstand Chen Nan's roar.
"Chen Nan!"
Boom!
These two simple words.
Fell like a thunderclap on everyone's heads.
Making their scalps tingle and their bodies shudder.
This was actually Chen Nan?
He survived a blow from the God of War Mo Yuan?
They had all watched the battle between Chen Nan and Mo Yuan.
However.
Because the filming distance was too far, Chen Nan's face was not clearly captured.
So they didn't recognize him as Chen Nan.
Now that they knew his name.
A strong sense of crisis arose in everyone's hearts.
Because they knew that Chen Nan was a member of the Ninth Team of the Guardians.
"You killed my brothers and abandoned their bodies in the wilderness. This crime deserves death!" Chen Nan's eyes were ice-cold.
As his words fell.
The peak Nascent Soul stage cultivators behind Yu Yuan instantly exploded into blood mist.
Yu Yuan, terrified, knelt on the ground. "Senior Chen Nan, spare us! We were just following orders! It was Fan Chi, he ordered us to do this."
Chen Nan gritted his teeth, "Go back and tell Fan Chi that I will move the graves for my brothers and my sister."
"It's raining today, so it's not suitable for moving graves."
"Therefore."
"The time is set for the night after tomorrow, at dawn, which is the dawn of the ninth day."
"Let everyone in the Fan family come in mourning clothes and carry the coffins for them."
"Otherwise, I will exterminate the entire Fan family!"
There are many taboos when moving graves.
No rain.
This is the greatest disrespect to the deceased.
So.
Chen Nan could only choose an auspicious day.
(Author's Note: Don't say Fourth Uncle is dawdling or the plot is dragging. What can Fourth Uncle do when encountering this kind of plot? We must respect the dead and respect the customs, right? Don't worry, it will be as satisfying as always.)
Yu Yuan's scalp tingled.
Letting the Fan family come in mourning clothes to move the graves for Qin Hongyu and Meng Kuo?
After all, Fan Chi was the last disciple of the God of War of Xiliang.
And he was an supreme existence, one of the four presidents of the Cultivator's Association.
The Fan family was now the number one noble family in Kyoto.
The Fan family would certainly not come here to mourn for Qin Hongyu and Meng Kuo.
Therefore.
Chen Nan wanted to exterminate the entire Fan family!
Without further thought.
He quickly said, "Don't worry, I'll take your message back now."
"Scram!"
Chen Nan's voice was cold.
Yu Yuan spat out a mouthful of blood and flew away from the mass grave at the fastest speed.
Chen Nan took out the Maotai and red wine he had purchased.
Roasted chicken.
Beef.
He placed them before Qin Hongyu and Meng Kuo's graves.
"I never thought that the parting back then would become a permanent farewell."
"Please bear with it here for two days, and I will change your dwelling in two days."
Chen Nan's mood was complicated.
Then he took out the Pillar of Merit.
And engraved Qin Hongyu and Meng Kuo's names on it.
When he rebuilt the Heavenly Court.
They would be resurrected and have divine positions.
------
Meanwhile.
Yu Yuan arrived at the Cultivator's Association at the fastest speed.
"President, something has happened."
He said to Fan Chi with a look of panic, "Chen Nan is not dead. Not only that, he has also come to Kyoto."
A hint of surprise flashed in Fan Chi's eyes. "He's not dead after taking a fatal blow from Senior Mo Yuan? He does have some means."
Yu Yuan continued, "Chen Nan and Li Mu went to the graves of Qin Hongyu and Meng Kuo. He killed eight of my brothers and said..."
Fan Chi frowned, "Said what?"
Yu Yuan said nervously, "Chen Nan wants to move the graves for Qin Hongyu and Meng Kuo. The time is set for the night after tomorrow, at dawn. He said he wants everyone in the Fan family to come in mourning clothes and carry the coffins for the two of them."
"Otherwise, he will... exterminate the entire Fan family!"
Fan Chi was furious. "Exterminate my entire Fan family? Does a deserter from the old era have the ability to do that?"
