Ling Yanran's eyes flickered with cold light!
Li Ao Han instantly felt an unprecedented pressure!
His soul and body trembled!
Facing a Ninth-Grade Immortal Emperor!
He couldn't withstand her aura at all!
He knew!
If Ling Yanran wanted to kill him, a single glance would be enough to extinguish his life!
Of course!
This would never happen!
After all, his aunt was a favored confidante of the Empress!
She was the Empress's most cherished maid!
Her status in the Snow Country was second only to the Empress and Ling Yanran!
Even though her eyes were filled with killing intent now, it must be because Chen Nan had provoked the Snow Country!
Li Ao Han said with utmost trepidation, "Grand Priestess, Chen Nan has repeatedly foiled our Snow Country's plans. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have suffered such a bitter defeat!"
"Although victory and defeat are common in warfare, his smug arrogance is a great humiliation to our Snow Country's alchemists, formation masters, and artifact refiners!"
The others nodded in agreement!
In fact, many of them disliked Li Ao Han!
This fellow was too preposterous!
He often did things that defied common sense!
Greedy and lustful!
He bullied others by relying on his aunt's favor with the Empress!
But undeniably!
What he had said before resonated with everyone!
They could lose!
However!
After losing, to have the victor flaunt their triumph in front of them!
This was unacceptable!
It was utterly shameless!
And utterly lacking in integrity!
Ling Yanran took a deep breath and said indifferently, "State your thoughts!"
Li Ao Han asked, "Grand Priestess, do you still remember the personal vendetta between Chen Nan and me?"
Before Ling Yanran could speak, the red-robed maid behind her said coldly, "So, you wish to eliminate Chen Nan merely for your personal grievances?"
"No, no, no!" Li Ao Han was truly chilled to the bone and quickly said, "Although Chen Nan harmed my childhood sweetheart, when he refined the divine artifact, broke through Master Min Jing's formation, and refined the wondrous spirit pill, I knew!"
"There is already a vast difference between us!"
"If I were to kill him, I would undoubtedly become an enemy of the Flame Country!"
"Of course, I don't believe I could kill him either!"
The red-robed maid said coldly, "Then why are you speaking so much nonsense?"
Li Ao Han swallowed and nervously said, "Chen Nan's reputation is now sky-high. If nothing unexpected happens, it will soon spread throughout the entire Immortal Realm!"
"He will become the darling of the Immortal Realm!"
"Whether in artifact refining!"
"Alchemy!"
"Or his mastery of formations, it is unprecedented in history!"
"Imagine, I, who previously had a personal grievance with him, if I wish to survive, the only way is to apologize to him!"
"Only by gaining his forgiveness will I and the Flying Heaven Sect not become prey for others trying to curry favor with him!"
Li Ao Han was not exaggerating this point!
Chen Nan possessed three dazzling halos of glory!
And any one of these halos could attract the favor of many powerful figures and prominent individuals!
To please such a person, eliminating his enemies was the best course of action!
There was an alchemist in history!
That person had offended a certain faction years ago!
After becoming famous, someone seeking a pill from him!
Massacred over three hundred members of that alchemist's family!
"My intention is very simple!"
"After the Snow Country's envoy leaves, I will stay in the Flame Country first!"
"Have the Flying Heaven Sect Master, Chu Xu, host a grand banquet and invite Chen Nan to be a guest at the Flying Heaven Sect!"
"Chen Nan will surely assume that the Flying Heaven Sect is inviting him to atone!"
"At that time, I can have someone kill him directly!" Li Ao Han revealed his plan!
"Grand Priestess, Young Master Li's plan is feasible!"
"Indeed!"
"As long as he dies at the Flying Heaven Sect, this matter will have nothing to do with our Snow Country!"
"Even if the Flame Emperor is furious, he will not blame our Snow Country!"
"This way, we can wash away the humiliation Chen Nan has brought upon our Snow Country!" some of the powerhouses in the Snow Country's envoy spoke up!
Ling Yanran nodded slightly!
She noted down those who spoke up, wanting Chen Nan dead, in her mind.
They all want to kill my brother-in-law, do they?
Fine!
We'll settle the score in the autumn.
"While this proposal is good, it's not direct enough!" Ling Yanran said, "Since the goal is to kill Chen Nan to wash away the humiliation he brought upon our Snow Country, it should be simpler and more brutal!"
Li Ao Han was a little confused and couldn't help but ask, "Then what do you mean, Grand Priestess?"
Ling Yanran replied, "Have the Flying Heaven Sect prepare a banquet, and I will personally attend."
As soon as she said this!
Everyone gasped!
Master Min Jing quickly said, "Grand Priestess, Chen Nan has made immense contributions to the Flame Country, and he is highly favored by the Flame Emperor!"
"If our Snow Country openly kills Chen Nan, the Flame Emperor will surely not let this matter rest!"
"This will destroy the friendship established between our two nations!"
"Please reconsider!"
"Grand Priestess, please reconsider!"
Many people bowed, imploring Ling Yanran to reconsider!
In their eyes!
This act was tantamount to declaring war on the Flame Country!
Another powerhouse spoke, "Grand Priestess, although Chen Nan is hateful, it cannot be denied that he is a peerless prodigy who has never appeared in the Immortal Realm!"
"I admit that I am very unhappy about losing to him this time!"
"However, our Snow Country is not lacking in the courage to start anew!"
"Why should we extinguish a peerless genius?"
Ling Yanran looked at him.
Not bad.
He can be promoted when we return.
"Grand Priestess, please reconsider!"
"We cannot make a move against Chen Nan!"
Many people spoke!
Ling Yanran snorted heavily, her eyes flashing with disdain. "He is merely a petty fellow, so what if he is killed?"
"Will the Flame Emperor truly go to war with our Snow Country for a man who is about to die?"
Saying this, she looked at Li Ao Han and said, "Go inform the Flying Heaven Sect Master that I will personally attend when they invite Chen Nan."
"Yes, I will rush to the Flying Heaven Sect immediately!"
Li Ao Han's face was filled with excitement!
He never expected Ling Yanran to personally go to the Flying Heaven Sect!
In this case!
Even if Chen Nan had three heads and six arms, he wouldn't be able to survive!
Watching Li Ao Han depart!
Ling Yanran felt a surge of boiling killing intent in her heart!
"You think you can kill my brother-in-law?"
"Hmph!"
"I haven't settled the score with you yet, and you've come knocking on my door!"
"Since that's the case, I will destroy you and the Flying Heaven Sect together!"
Although Ling Yanran was displeased with Chen Nan for helping the Flame Country defeat the Snow Country!
Chen Nan was ultimately her brother-in-law!
Family squabbles were normal!
But she would not allow others to harm Chen Nan!
No one!
------
Flying Heaven Sect!
When the Flying Heaven Sect Master, Chu Xu, and Chu Ye Lan learned that Ling Yanran would personally visit the Flying Heaven Sect!
The father and daughter were extremely excited!
They clearly didn't expect such a prominent figure to visit the Flying Heaven Sect!
Li Ao Han said with great pride, "Uncle Chu, although Chen Nan has shone brightly and made a name for himself throughout the Immortal Realm!"
"My aunt is a favored confidante of the Empress!"
"After I told the Grand Priestess about Chen Nan cutting off Lanlan's legs!"
"The Grand Priestess immediately agreed to personally visit the Flying Heaven Sect and kill Chen Nan to avenge Sister Lanlan once he arrives."
Chu Xu and Chu Ye Lan's hearts were deeply stirred!
Even the Grand Priestess was helping Li Ao Han take revenge!
His influence was truly immense!
Chu Ye Lan's eyes gleamed with a chilling smile. "Chen Nan, oh Chen Nan, you will soon know the consequences of making an enemy of me!"
