At this very moment!
A disciple of the Feitian Sect hurried into the main hall!
Respectfully, he said to Chu Xu, "Master, someone from the Li family of the Snow Country is requesting an audience at the foot of the mountain!"
Chu Xu's eyes lit up, "It must be Li Aohan!"
"My dear, you go back to your room and rest. I will go and welcome Li Aohan!"
He then flew out of the main hall and arrived at the mountain gate!
From a distance, he saw a man dressed in a blue brocade robe, with a face like jade and an extraordinary handsome appearance, standing quietly!
With one hand behind his back, he exuded an ethereal and transcendent aura!
Chu Xu's heart was turbulent!
The last time they met, Li Aohan was still an unremarkable ordinary person!
Who would have thought that in just a thousand years, he would become a master!
His strength had also reached the late True Immortal realm!
Truly, fortunes change, and the world revolves!
Never underestimate the poor!
He was fortunate that he had always treated the people of the Snow Country courteously!
Otherwise, Li Aohan would not have personally come to visit him!
Behind Li Aohan followed two elders!
Their strength was also considerable!
Both had reached the Fourth Level Immortal Emperor realm!
"Your junior, Li Aohan, the eldest grandson of the Li family from the Snow Country, pays his respects to Sect Master Chu!" Li Aohan bowed to Chu Xu!
Chu Xu reached out and supported him, saying with a smile, "We are not outsiders. Nephew, why be so formal? Come, come, let's chat on the mountain!"
Li Aohan nodded slightly and followed Chu Xu up the mountain!
"Uncle Chu, I heard that sister Lanlan has become a Sixth Level Formation Master? And her cultivation has also reached the True Immortal realm. I wonder if I will have the chance to see her in the upcoming friendly match between our two countries?" Li Aohan asked, his speech elegant and his demeanor refined!
Chu Xu sighed, "She should have been able to represent the Flame Country's Sword Forging Academy in the competition, but..."
Li Aohan couldn't help but ask, "What happened?"
Chu Xu's face was filled with anger, "Lanlan was severely injured, her legs were severed by someone, and she is now recuperating in bed. It's unlikely she will be able to represent the Flame Country in this friendly match!"
Li Aohan was furious, "Who dares to be so audacious as to harm sister Lanlan?"
"The other party is called Chen Nan, from the Sword Forging Academy!" Chu Xu clenched his fists, "I wanted to kill him to avenge Lanlan, but that person has registered for the friendly match between the two countries!"
"I can only wait until after the friendly match to kill him!"
"That won't do!" Li Aohan said in a low voice, "I will not allow anyone to harm sister Lanlan. Even if they do, I will never let them survive!"
"Uncle Chu, please rest assured. If I meet him in the friendly match, I will find a way to eliminate him!"
"Consider it avenging sister Lanlan!"
Chu Xu sighed, "If Lanlan knew you cared for her so much, she would surely be very touched!"
"Let's go, I'll take you to see her!"
"No!" Li Aohan's face was filled with pain, "Although I really want to see sister Lanlan, I know that in her current state, she certainly wouldn't want to see me!"
"She probably doesn't want me to see her in such a sorry state!"
"Uncle Chu, I will come to see her after sister Lanlan has recovered!"
Chu Xu: "Uh... alright!"
After seeing Li Aohan off, Chu Xu went to his daughter's room!
She had already taken the spiritual medicine, and her legs had been reconnected!
She would only need time to recover!
"Father, why didn't Li Aohan come?" Seeing her father return alone, Chu Yelan couldn't help but ask!
Chu Xu said, "Li Aohan said that in your current condition, you probably wouldn't want to see him, so he will visit you after your injuries have healed!"
A simple statement pierced Chu Yelan's heart, "How can he be so thoughtful?"
"By the way, Father, is Li Aohan... handsome now?"
Chu Xu nodded affirmatively, "He is a dragon among men, handsome and dashing!"
A trace of longing flashed in Chu Yelan's eyes, "I really want to see him!"
Chu Xu cleared his throat and earnestly admonished, "My dear, remember what I told you before. You need to make Li Aohan your devoted follower, not become his!"
Chu Yelan: "Father, don't worry, I know what I'm doing!"
Chu Xu said, "Also, I told him about Chen Nan. He said he would find an opportunity to kill Chen Nan in the friendly match to avenge you!"
Chu Yelan's lips curled up, "He dotes on me, and I dote on him. Isn't this mutual affection?"
------
Three days passed in the blink of an eye!
Although only three days had passed in the outside world!
Chen Nan had cultivated for three hundred years in the fifth layer of the Immortal Mansion!
His strength had significantly improved!
After all, he had consumed all the spiritual medicines in his storage bag during these three hundred years!
Yes!
All the spiritual medicines he carried when he left the Demon Realm were consumed by him!
"My current strength should be comparable to a Third Level Immortal Emperor!"
"If I use the Eternal Domain, combined with the Divine Fire!"
"It won't be difficult to instantly kill a Fourth Level Immortal Emperor!"
"I even have the strength to fight against a Fifth Level Immortal Emperor!"
Chen Nan was confident in his strength!
After all, he had mastered the Great Roc technique!
His speed was exceptionally fast!
Besides that, there was also the True Phoenix Seal, an offensive spell!
Although he disliked spell duels!
It could still be useful at times!
As for the high-grade Immortal Artifact, the Setting Sun...
It had little significance to him!
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a chicken rib!
After all, his current physical body was almost comparable to a high-grade Immortal Artifact!
And his greatest trump card was still the Eternal Domain!
"Junior Brother Chen, the Dean sent me to fetch you. We should depart for the Imperial Palace!" Nie Yao, dressed in a light pink long dress, exuded a fresh and refined aura!
Chen Nan grunted, "How many people are going this time?"
Nie Yao said softly, "Besides the two of us, there are three Senior Brothers in the True Immortal realm. They all have the ability of a Sixth Level Artifact Master, and it's only a matter of time before they refine Seventh Level Immortal Artifacts!"
Afterward, Chen Nan followed Nie Yao to the entrance of the Hall of Merit to gather!
"Master, he is just a mere Earth Immortal. What qualifications does he have to participate in this friendly match?" Wei Xufeng, the closed-door disciple of Dai Yuan, looked displeased when he saw Chen Nan!
Wei Xufeng was the highest in cultivation among the seven, reaching the fifth layer of the True Immortal realm!
He was the top prodigy of the Sword Forging Academy!
This was his first time seeing Chen Nan!
Even though he knew that this person had directly refined a top-grade spiritual artifact during the assessment, astonishing everyone!
Yet, such a feat did not impress him!
A man named Wu Tian also spoke, "Senior Brother Wei is right. His cultivation is too low. We absolutely cannot let him accompany us to the Imperial Palace to participate in the friendly match between the two countries!"
"After all, we represent the younger generation of the Sword Forging Academy and bear the future expectations of the Sword Forging Academy!"
"If the people of the Snow Country see us bringing a mere Earth Immortal to compete, they will surely laugh at our Sword Forging Academy for lacking successors!"
Chen Nan secretly sighed!
In essence!
Weakness is a sin!
If his strength were greater, why would these people mock him in public?
Seeing that Dai Yuan remained silent!
Chen Nan said, "Since all of you Senior Brothers look down on me, how about we have a competition? If I lose, I will voluntarily withdraw from this friendly match!"
Wu Tian did not hide his disdain, "Compete in what? In what aspect can you compare to us?"
