"Do you know he's my brother-in-law?"
A simple sentence!
It struck Li Aohan, Chu Xu, and Chu Yelan like a bolt from the blue.
Their scalps tingled.
Their eyes were filled with horror.
What was going on?
Chen Nan was Ling Yanran's brother-in-law?
Wasn't her sister the supreme Empress of the Human Race?
Damn it!
Chen Nan was the Empress's Dao companion?
A strong sense of despair and disbelief washed over the three of them.
Holy cow!
What kind of melodramatic plot was this!
How could Chen Nan's Dao companion be the Empress?
If he and the Empress were truly Dao companions.
Then why did Chen Nan help Yan Country against Xue Country during the friendly match between the two nations?
Did that make any sense?
The three of them were completely broken!
They didn't dare to believe Ling Yanran's words at all.
Even the two maids behind Ling Yanran gasped in shock.
They never expected Chen Nan to be the Empress's Dao companion.
The red-clothed maid said in shock, "High Priestess, Chen Nan is actually the Empress's man? Doesn't that mean the Empress..."
"Be quiet!" Ling Yanran interrupted the red-clothed maid and then took a step forward.
Instantly.
A frost power appeared beneath her feet.
With lightning speed, it instantly enveloped Feitian Sect.
Freezing Feitian Sect and its tens of thousands of disciples into ice sculptures.
However, it did not cover Chen Nan's Eternal Domain.
Ling Yanran didn't know if she could cover this domain.
But it didn't matter.
What mattered was that Chen Nan was her brother-in-law.
That was enough.
"I told you not to call me brother-in-law," Chen Nan said furiously, venting his anger on Chu Xu.
He raised his long sword and slashed towards Chu Xu's head.
"Also, I don't need you to help me at all."
Ling Yanran pouted, "Brother-in-law, they say lovers quarrel and make up. Even if you and my sister had some unpleasantness, that's a private matter between you two."
"I'm your sister-in-law, why are you so cold to me?"
"Besides, I've always respected you. At least I didn't interfere when you were fighting them."
"I knew brother-in-law could defeat these damned guys."
"Now..."
"I'm just cleaning up the battlefield for you." As she spoke, she strayed into the Eternal Domain.
Her brain froze.
Her body stiffened.
Her reactions became slow.
But her pupils revealed unconcealed shock.
Although she could break this terrifying domain.
One thing was obvious.
This domain could affect a Level Nine Immortal Emperor.
Ling Yanran grabbed Chen Nan's arm and acted spoiled, "Brother-in-law, don't be angry, come back to Xue Country with me, okay?"
"If you return, the throne of Xue Country will be yours."
"My sisters and I will surely serve you well."
This scene, when seen by Chu Xu, Chu Yelan, and Li Aohan, almost made their eyeballs pop out.
Who exactly was Chen Nan?
Why was Ling Yanran begging him to return?
"Go play somewhere else." Chen Nan broke free from Ling Yanran's arm and shielded the Eternal Domain. "I told you, I would never go to Xue Country in this life."
"No."
"I will go to Xue Country someday, but not to ascend the throne."
"I want to trample your sister under my feet."
Ling Yanran sighed, "You are Dao companions, why do you hate my sister so much? You don't have to wait for the future, you can trample her under your feet right now."
"Shut up!"
Chen Nan roared, "You have no right to speak here." He then fixed his gaze on Chu Xu.
"Young Master Chen, please show mercy. I know I was wrong. Please be kind and spare my life!" Chu Xu's face was sallow. His head had reattached to his neck.
His severed body had also reconnected.
For a strong person of his level, as long as the soul was not extinguished, any serious injury could be healed.
Chu Yelan also fell to her knees with a thud. She raised her palm and slapped her face fiercely, "Junior Brother Chen, I was blind and offended you. I know my mistake now. Please, for the sake of our fellow disciples, be magnanimous and let me go like a fart."
As she spoke, she was already sobbing uncontrollably.
Chen Nan's eyes were indifferent. "If I hadn't given you a chance, I wouldn't have come to Feitian Sect for a banquet today."
"But."
His tone suddenly turned cold. "I gave you a chance, but you didn't grasp it!"
With that said.
He threw a punch.
The power of the punch whistled.
It was devastating.
Pfft!
Chu Yelan directly turned into a mist of blood and disappeared from the world.
"No!" Chu Xu let out a heart-wrenching scream.
At this moment.
He regretted it.
He truly shouldn't have become Chen Nan's enemy.
Otherwise, Feitian Sect's millennia-old foundation would not have been destroyed.
His daughter would not have been killed by Chen Nan.
"It hurts a lot, doesn't it? Actually, I'm very kind and can't bear to see human suffering. Since you're so sad, then you and your daughter can go together!" Chen Nan waved his hand casually.
A divine fire flew out from his fingertips.
It landed on Chu Xu and instantly engulfed him.
Before he could even scream.
His body turned to ashes.
"Young Master Chen, it was Chu Yelan who instigated me to attack you. Please spare my life, can you?" Li Aohan, terrified, slumped to the ground.
Seeing Chen Nan's indifference, Li Aohan looked at Ling Yanran, tears streaming down his face, "High Priestess, my aunt is the Empress's personal maid. Please, for my aunt's sake, can you intercede for me?"
Slap!
Ling Yanran slapped him across the face from a distance, her eyes cold. "What is your aunt? What right does she have for me to intercede for you on her behalf?"
"Do you think your aunt can survive after offending my brother-in-law?"
"Can your Li family still survive in Xue Country?"
"Congratulations to the Li family, you've been wiped out!"
Boom!
Li Aohan felt like the sky had collapsed and the earth had cracked.
Would the High Priestess really exterminate the entire Li family?
Before he could react.
He was shocked to see a wisp of divine fire released by Chen Nan land on him.
"No~~~"
The next moment.
He let out a desperate, unwilling scream.
Then, with a pfft, he was ignited by the divine fire and disappeared from the world.
The night returned to silence.
But Feitian Sect had become an ice-bound world.
As for this.
Chen Nan didn't care.
Because he had learned to be heartless.
"Chen Nan, are you really not coming back to Xue Country with us?"
Seeing Chen Nan soar into the sky, Ling Yanran became anxious and stopped calling him brother-in-law.
Instead, she called him by his name.
Chen Nan sneered, "What, do you want to tie me up and take me back?"
"I..." Ling Yanran was speechless.
She had indeed thought about tying Chen Nan up and taking him back.
However.
Seeing his deep eyes, she suddenly felt a little intimidated.
No matter what, he was her brother-in-law.
Even if her sister had a strained relationship with him, as a sister-in-law, she should mediate their conflict and make their relationship more harmonious.
Therefore, she absolutely could not do that.
Of course.
She didn't think she could tie him away either.
Although the Yan Emperor had announced he was in seclusion,
She had felt the Yan Emperor's soul power just now.
If she used force.
The Yan Emperor would definitely stop her.
She was no match for the Yan Emperor herself, let alone the Yan Emperor who now possessed a divine artifact.
Watching Chen Nan leave, Ling Yanran stomped her foot in anger, "Chen, remember what I said, one day you will come to Xue Country no matter what."
"Even if you hate my sister, it won't stop your steps."
"If that day comes, then clean yourself up and prepare to warm my bed!" Chen Nan's voice gradually disappeared into the night.
The red-clothed maid hesitated, then asked nervously, "High Priestess, why didn't you tell him about the Empress's current situation?"
