Mo Yuan's appearance shocked everyone.
After all, ever since he accepted the title of God of War.
He had been in the Northern Territory.
Never showing himself.
Although he wasn't here in person today.
It still showed great respect to Chen Nan.
But.
Upon hearing Chen Nan's words.
Countless people were covered in goosebumps.
Even though Chen Nan asked the other party in a very polite tone.
But.
Who the hell are you?
Was this a question about the other party's origin?
No!
It was as if he was about to take off his shoes and slap Mo Yuan severely.
This was looking down on Mo Yuan's very existence!
At this moment.
Everyone regarded Chen Nan as a madman.
He was too arrogant.
He shouldn't have disregarded a powerhouse like Mo Yuan.
It was not hard to imagine.
His end would be tragic.
Han Feiyang and Han Jian, father and son, their eyes lit up.
Mo Yuan sent down an intention projection, showing the importance he placed on the Han family.
Not to mention that Chen Nan had publicly humiliated Mo Yuan.
Today.
He was bound to die!
"I am Mo Yuan, the God of War of the Northern Territory."
"A peak Grand Ascension stage expert."
"Do you know my origin now?"
The face formed by white clouds in the sky spoke in a deep voice.
The lake water boiled again.
As if a flood dragon was stirring at the bottom of the lake.
Chen Nan dug his ear with his little finger and said nonchalantly, "Perhaps you have the cultivation of the peak Grand Ascension stage."
"But with your strength, you are not qualified to call yourself a powerhouse in front of me."
These words were like a fuse.
Igniting the anger in countless hearts.
Chen Nan had indeed done things to save all beings.
But.
Only the people of Wuyang City truly revered him and regarded him as a god.
But Mo Yuan was different.
He had protected the Northern Territory and saved all beings in the world!
Chen Nan's repeated contempt for Mo Yuan, who would not be angry?
However.
Chen Nan was not lying at all.
Those he would call powerhouses were at least the level of Human Race Supremes.
No!
With his current strength, to put it bluntly.
Even a ninth-level Immortal Emperor from the Immortal Realm, or a Human Race Supreme, would be like an ant in front of him.
Mo Yuan laughed in extreme anger. "Young friend Chen Nan is indeed full of youthful vigor. I like this kind of impetuous young man, who has the spirit of my youth."
He shamelessly found an excuse for himself.
Then he said, "Young friend Chen Nan, Fei Peng fought with me in the Northern Territory to kill demons. This is known to the world."
"His family members, relying on his influence, committed evil deeds. This is something no one wants to see."
"However, our Northern Territory will not show favoritism to anyone who violates the law."
"I hope young friend Chen Nan will give this old man some face."
"Apart from Han Feipeng, you can deal with the rest of the Han family as you wish."
"Of course, I will also severely punish Fei Peng for not disciplining his family properly."
Upon hearing this.
The faces of Han Feiyang and his son turned green.
Were they about to abandon them?
Chen Nan stepped on the void.
Each step he took was like stepping on invisible stairs.
He walked step by step into the high sky, stopping only when he was at eye level with Mo Yuan's intention projection.
He disliked looking up when talking to others.
Similarly!
Although he possessed invincible strength.
He would not place himself above others.
Respecting life was his vision and his most basic demeanor.
*Snap!*
He lit a cigarette and said indifferently, "I beg your pardon, Senior Mo Yuan, but I cannot agree with your words."
"Since the Cultivator Association has established new laws."
"Then everyone must abide by them."
"Only then can the new laws win the hearts of the people."
"Unless, the new laws are only to restrain mortals."
"Or, the new laws are merely a facade?"
His tone was calm.
But the world felt a sense of determination.
Today.
Either abolish the new law.
Or sacrifice a pawn to save the king.
And let Chen Nan kill Han Feipeng.
Mo Yuan's face contorted.
Exceedingly ferocious.
He never expected Chen Nan to be his enemy.
At this moment.
A voice came from afar, "Chen Nan, Commander Han made outstanding contributions in the past, he should be pardoned!"
"That's right, Commander Han's merits are clear for all to see. Every scar on his body is his glory. Even if his relatives violated the law, it cannot be imposed on him."
"The law is ruthless, but we must have compassion."
Many people defended Han Feipeng.
Not wanting him to die.
Chen Nan floated quietly in the air. "In other words, the saying 'all beings are equal' is just talk?"
"As long as one has merit, one can do whatever they please in the world?"
"Wantonly seize others' wealth?"
"Trample on others' dignity?"
"Erase others' lives?"
"I really want to know."
"When did merit earned with blood and lives become a death-defying token?"
An old man shouted loudly, "In the past feudal era, merit could become a death-defying token. What's wrong with that?"
"Screw you!"
Chen Nan cursed loudly, "You also said it was the feudal era."
"But this is the 21st century!"
"The world has been peaceful for a long time!"
"You are using the old systems of the feudal era to govern the world today?"
"What, after enjoying peace for a few days, have you forgotten the suffering and hardship your ancestors endured?"
"Are you not afraid that your ancestors will hear your words and push open their coffins to come out and strangle you?"
A roar made the old man's face turn pale.
He did not expect Chen Nan to curse so loudly.
This was unbecoming of a scholar.
However.
Chen Nan's words also resonated with a small portion of the audience.
Setting aside the facts, these words were quite impactful.
The ancestors abolished the old system for the sake of their descendants living better lives.
Therefore.
Merit could not become a death-defying token.
"In other words, you insist on killing Han Feipeng?" Mo Yuan's voice was icy, resonating through heaven and earth.
Chen Nan's lips curved upwards. "No!"
"I don't want to kill him."
"I also know that Commander Han has contributed to the nation."
"But, it is not me who wants to kill him!"
"It is the rules established by the Cultivator Association."
"As long as you abolish the new law and follow the previous laws."
"Even if Han Feiyang has committed many evils, it will not implicate Commander Han."
"Isn't that so?"
His face was filled with a brilliant smile.
"The new law cannot be abolished, and Han Feipeng cannot die!" Mo Yuan's voice boomed like thunder.
Cultivators had finally gained the recognition of the common people by resisting demons.
They had painstakingly established the Cultivator Association.
Then, they seized the opportunity to change the rules.
How could they abolish it so easily?
Chen Nan said indifferently, "I'm sorry, this is a multiple-choice question with only two options."
"I choose neither of these options. I choose to kill you!"
Mo Yuan roared.
The face formed by white clouds in the void transformed into a white long sword.
This long sword exuded immense divine power.
Tearing through the void.
Like a beam of light.
Under everyone's burning gaze, it pierced Chen Nan's chest.
*Pfft!*
The long sword flashed.
A stream of scarlet blood splashed from Chen Nan's chest.
He looked at his chest with disbelief, his eyes filled with horror. "What's going on? I actually couldn't withstand Mo Yuan's attack?"
