"Master, save me..."
Mu Wanting let out a heart-rending scream.
She could clearly feel her immortal power being stripped away.
This filled her with unprecedented fear.
Dan Chenzi looked at Chen Nan with complex emotions and said, "Little friend Chen, I am willing to apologize to you."
"I hope you will be magnanimous and spare my disciple's life."
Although he was very reluctant to admit defeat.
He knew.
He was no match for Chen Nan at all.
Therefore.
To survive, what harm was there in bowing his head and surrendering to Chen Nan?
Chen Nan replied, "I regret to say that I have given you a chance."
"But you did not seize it."
With that said.
He formed seals with both hands.
Samadhi True Fire, like a sprite, appeared at his fingertips.
Then it flew towards the heavens.
Upon reaching an altitude of ten thousand meters.
That Samadhi True Fire erupted with dazzling flames.
It then slowly descended in the air.
Enveloping the surrounding hundred miles.
From afar, it looked like a massive dome covering this small world.
The void was ignited.
The trees in this small world also instantly burst into flames.
The scorching heat made everyone uncomfortable.
The disciples of Divine Pill Valley felt dry-mouthed and restless.
"Chen Nan, what exactly do you want?" Dan Chenzi roared angrily.
Chen Nan smiled and answered his question, "It's nothing much, just setting up a formation to prevent your escape."
"Chen Nan, you can't kill me," Mu Wanting screamed. "The Third Prince is fond of me. If you kill me, the Third Prince will surely not let you go."
"Even if you are a Grandmaster of the Three Arts, you will not be able to leave the Qian Kingdom alive."
Chen Nan stated, "I never bully others with my power."
"Likewise."
"I am not afraid of others causing trouble for me."
"No matter who they are, as long as they offend me."
"I will make them pay a heavy price."
The background of the Qian Kingdom's Third Prince was indeed formidable.
But if they provoked him.
He would not care who they were.
The next moment.
Chen Nan controlled the large cauldron and sent it flying into the air.
A terrifying devouring force enveloped everyone.
Even Dan Chenzi felt his immortal power within him being uncontrollably drawn out.
However.
His cultivation was far more powerful than others.
He was still able to prevent his immortal power from being devoured.
"Chen Nan, I told you, I am willing to apologize to you."
"But why do you want to destroy my Divine Pill Valley?"
"Do you not know the benevolence of heaven and compassion for life?"
"What right do you, who are devoid of humanity, have to be a respected Grandmaster of the Three Arts?"
Dan Chenzi let out a thunderous roar.
Chen Nan instantly appeared before him and slapped him flying dozens of meters away.
After he landed, Chen Nan stepped on his chest.
With a ferocious expression, he looked down at him, "You have the nerve to talk about the benevolence of heaven and compassion for life?"
"What right do I have to be a respected Grandmaster of the Three Arts?"
"I, Chen Nan, act with integrity and a clear conscience."
"On the other hand, you, with your narrow-mindedness, slandered me, and that was bad enough."
"To lure me out, you actually harmed innocent people and captured my brothers and loved ones."
"Tell me, do you, a person like this, have the right to be called a Grandmaster Alchemist?"
As he spoke.
He increased the pressure of his foot.
Pfft!
Dan Chenzi uncontrollably spat out a mouthful of blood.
Chen Nan said angrily, "Do you know that being called a Grandmaster Alchemist alongside you is the greatest shame for me?"
"Little friend Chen, this old man admits his mistakes."
"I hope you will show mercy and spare my Divine Pill Valley disciples' lives," Dan Chenzi said, tears streaming down his face.
The disciples of Divine Pill Valley also cried out for mercy.
Completely forgetting Chen Nan's dismissive attitude when he first arrived.
They had never expected.
That Chen Nan would crush the entire Divine Pill Valley by himself.
After all, Divine Pill Valley was the number one sect in the Qian Kingdom.
Chen Nan's eyes were indifferent, "Begging me is useless."
"I gave your master a chance."
"He did not seize it."
Dan Chenzi quickly said, "Little friend Chen, this old man truly admits his mistake."
"As long as you spare my Divine Pill Valley."
"This old man is willing to recognize you as his master, follow you, and serve you day and night, even unto death."
Chen Nan remained unmoved.
He did not want to kill indiscriminately.
Therefore, he had given Dan Chenzi a chance when he arrived.
However.
He did not seize that opportunity.
The world was filled with mournful cries.
Roars.
Everyone was cursing Dan Chenzi.
If not for him.
They would not have suffered such a calamity.
Just then.
A powerful aura emanated from the distance.
A middle-aged man in silver armor, leading a group of imperial guards, appeared in the distance.
Upon seeing this person.
Dan Chenzi's eyes flickered with dazzling light.
He recognized this person.
This person was named Guo Kai.
He was the commander of the Qian Kingdom's imperial guards.
His strength was immense.
He had reached the level of a ninth-stage Immortal Emperor.
Of course.
The reason Guo Kai had reached the realm of a ninth-stage Immortal Emperor.
Was thanks to the pills he refined.
Therefore.
Upon seeing Guo Kai.
His will to survive surged.
He said to Guo Kai, "Commander Guo, you are here at the right time."
"This person is utterly depraved and inhumane, slaughtering my Divine Pill Valley disciples on a large scale."
"He must be apprehended and subjected to the torture of a thousand cuts."
Hearing this.
Gong Jian and his mother gasped.
They were both citizens of the Qian Kingdom.
And naturally knew Guo Kai's name.
This was a genuine ninth-stage Immortal Emperor.
Whose strength was terrifyingly immense.
Simply beyond the resistance of ordinary people.
The appearance of Guo Kai with the imperial guards at this moment was definitely a dire situation.
Conversely, the disciples of Divine Pill Valley showed expressions of extreme joy.
"Chen Nan, you dared to be arrogant. Today is your death day."
"You, an outsider, dared to try and destroy our Divine Pill Valley. Did you not know that our Divine Pill Valley is the number one force in the Qian Kingdom?"
"Indeed, Master is the imperial alchemist of the Qian Emperor."
"Destroying us is akin to making an enemy of the Qian Emperor."
At this moment.
The disciples of Divine Pill Valley were revitalized.
Although they had pleaded with Chen Nan to spare their lives earlier.
Now.
They had forgotten their previous pathetic state.
And only wished to see Chen Nan dead!
Chen Nan frowned slightly.
Didn't Ao Ji say that as long as he didn't go to war with the Qian Emperor, everything could be settled?
However.
Why did the Qian Kingdom's royal family send a ninth-stage Immortal Emperor?
Although he was not afraid of a ninth-stage Immortal Emperor.
Fighting the Qian Kingdom's royal family at this time might affect his future plans.
Just then.
Guo Kai's cold voice reverberated through heaven and earth, "Dan Chenzi, you intended to rebel by poisoning the tribute pills, causing His Majesty to fall into a deep coma."
"The evidence for this matter is conclusive, and we are here on the Emperor's orders to encircle and suppress Divine Pill Valley."
Boom!
These simple words struck like a bolt from the blue.
The more than a thousand disciples of Divine Pill Valley, led by Dan Chenzi, felt their scalps tingle.
They simply did not believe Guo Kai's words.
Because everyone knew.
There was no poison in the immortal realm that could threaten a ninth-stage Immortal Emperor.
The poisoning incident was entirely fabricated.
However.
Why did His Majesty send troops to annihilate Divine Pill Valley?
Could it be a compromise made because they could not afford to offend Chen Nan?
