"Hou Chen, do you know your crime?"
The mighty voice echoed throughout Zhongzhou City.
At this moment.
Countless people looked up in unison.
They saw an old man in white robes with white hair and beard appearing in mid-air.
"Lord Mu, I am framed, I am framed!"
Seeing the arbiter, Lord Mu.
Hou Chen was completely panicked.
The arbiter wielded the Sword of Punishment of the Wu Kingdom.
If a court official truly violated the law, the arbiter would wield the Sword of Judgment to slay them.
This was also a super expert at the level of an Eighth-Grade Immortal Emperor.
They did not act easily.
Once they acted, it would be no small matter.
"The arbiter never wrongly accuses any good person!"
"Nor will it let any evil person go!"
Lord Mu's eyes were cold: "Since you do not confess, I will help you recall."
"Three thousand years ago, did you save a mysterious woman?"
Hou Chen: "Yes, I did save a mysterious woman."
Lord Mu: "Do you know who she was?"
Hou Chen truthfully replied: "I saw she was severely injured, so I brought her home to heal."
"After her injuries healed, the woman left!"
Lord Mu: "She is the Demon Princess!"
"What?"
A simple sentence, like a bolt from the blue.
It struck Hou Chen with an inexplicable fear.
Lord Mu: "In recent years, people cultivating demon race techniques have been frequently discovered within our Wu Kingdom!"
"She is the culprit!"
"And the root of all this is because you saved the Demon Princess!"
"Do you now know what crime you have committed?"
Hou Chen shouted: "Lord Mu, I did not know that woman was the Demon Princess!"
His heart turned to ash.
He had a foreboding sense of doom.
Lord Mu grasped the air.
A golden palm caused Hou Chen's bones to crackle and break.
The next moment.
Black demonic energy seeped out from his body.
"You cultivated demon race techniques, and you still say you didn't know she was the Demon Princess?" Lord Mu's gaze was cold.
Countless people were shocked and in an uproar!
They never expected Hou Chen to have cultivated demon race techniques!
"Why, why is this happening..." Hou Chen looked at the demonic energy seeping from his body in disbelief.
His mentality collapsed.
He never expected that the technique the woman taught him was actually a demon race technique.
"Do you have anything else to say now?" Lord Mu's eyes were cold, devoid of any emotional fluctuation.
"Yes, I have something to say." Hou Chen glared at Chen Nan: "This person also cultivates demon race techniques. Yes, his strength is very strange, he must be cultivating demon race techniques!"
"Otherwise, a cultivator at the Mahayana stage could not withstand my attacks!"
He knew he was doomed!
Because anyone who cultivated demon race techniques.
Regardless of the reason.
Would be exterminated along with their nine generations of kin.
However.
Even if he died.
Before dying, he wanted to use the arbiter's hand to eliminate Chen Nan.
The arbiter looked at Chen Nan and sent a ray of golden light across the air.
The golden light entered Chen Nan's body, like a mud ox entering the sea.
It did not cause any anomaly.
"He is not cultivating demon race techniques!" Lord Mu's voice sounded slowly, and then a golden long sword appeared in his hand: "According to the law, those who cultivate demon race techniques!"
"Shall be executed on the spot!"
"And their nine generations of kin shall be exterminated!"
As he spoke.
He slashed through the air.
A golden sword energy flashed like a startled swan!
"No..."
Hou Chen let out a cry of despair, his body struck by the sword energy.
He turned into a mist of blood in the air and vanished into the heavens and earth.
He was very unwilling.
Not unwilling to die.
But unwilling to die so inexplicably!
Especially the words Chen Nan had spoken.
Such as, you can still escape now.
And his final countdown.
Who exactly was he?
Why did he know he was about to face disaster long ago?
------
Hou Chen is also dead!
His death brought tears to the eyes of many people in Zhongzhou City.
Because in the eyes of the people of Zhongzhou City, neither father nor son were good people.
Other than oppressing the common people and merchants.
They knew how to do nothing else.
Today, their father and son met tragic deaths one after another.
This was a day worth celebrating.
------
Because the previous room was affected by the battle.
Lu Youcai arranged another room for Chen Nan.
And suggested that the room charges be waived.
After all, Hou Chen had come to the Star Picking Pavilion to cause trouble for Chen Nan, which meant they had failed to protect him properly.
Chen Nan said nothing about this.
But what he did not expect was.
The disaster of blood light above Yu Fei's head had still not disappeared.
Instead, it had become even more intense than before.
"What exactly is going on?"
"Why is Hou Chen dead, but the blood light aura above Yu Fei's head still exists?"
Chen Nan was baffled.
He held his breath and concentrated.
Trying to see through the truth behind it.
But he found he could see nothing.
"No, no, no!"
"Master said, everyone has multiple fortunes."
"If one can see the fortunes above others' heads, one can discern what they have experienced, or what they are experiencing."
"Unless... this matter has something to do with me!"
At this moment.
A strong sense of unease arose in Chen Nan's heart.
A cold sweat broke out on his body!
Thinking of this, he looked at Yu Fei and smiled, saying: "Feifei, how about you go home after lunch?"
"Brother Chen, am I holding you back?" Yu Fei asked, her face full of nervousness.
She loved being with Chen Nan.
No matter what they were doing.
As long as he was by her side, she would feel secure and content.
Chen Nan: "I'm mainly worried that your parents might become suspicious."
"Be good, go back first."
"After I've completed my plan, I'll come to your house to propose."
Chen Nan had a feeling that Yu Fei's misfortune was definitely because of him.
Precisely because of this.
He wanted Yu Fei to return home.
Yu Fei could only agree with a dejected expression.
"Remember, don't leave home after you get back. If you encounter danger, send me a message immediately!" Chen Nan instructed earnestly before leaving.
He didn't know what would happen.
He could only respond to changes with constancy.
In fact, he wanted to extract the blood light disaster from Yu Fei's body to prevent her crisis.
However.
That blood light disaster was too intense.
Even he could not extract it.
Thus.
Yu Fei reluctantly left the Star Picking Pavilion.
Chen Nan then sat cross-legged and continued to attempt to set up a communication array.
Unlike ordinary arrays.
Communication arrays were spatial arrays.
Setting them up was not easy.
Time flew by.
Three days passed in a blink of an eye.
Chen Nan's spatial array had taken shape.
To the naked eye.
A nine-story transparent pagoda could be seen slowly rotating.
In the center was a green array spirit.
It would transmit the messages it received.
"Yu Weiwei, did you buy the jade token I asked you to buy?" Chen Nan looked at Yu Weiwei, who was as obedient as a maid.
"Master, I have bought it for you." Yu Weiwei handed the purchased jade token to Chen Nan.
Chen Nan formed a hand seal and entered the numbers of the two jade tokens into the array spirit, then handed one to Yu Weiwei: "Take it out and test its effect!"
"See the maximum communication range!"
Yu Weiwei turned and left.
As Chen Nan had predicted, the idea of setting up a communication array was feasible.
And its coverage area was fifty kilometers.
Although it was not very far.
But if more communication arrays were set up.
Wouldn't it cover the entire Zhongzhou City?
A surge of excitement rose in Chen Nan's heart, and he picked up the communication token to inform Yu Fei of this good news.
However.
Yu Fei's scream came from the communication jade token: "Brother Chen, save me..."
