The appearance of the Blood Butcher instantly cast a heavy atmosphere over the scene!
This was the sharpest blade of the Central Province City Prefecture!
They were all composed of Golden Immortal realm powerhouses!
And they were all equipped with high-grade immortal armor and immortal artifacts!
Wherever the Blood Butcher appeared, it usually meant rivers of blood!
Nothing would be left alive!
It was precisely because of the Blood Butcher's existence that Central Province City remained peaceful.
Even if cultivators wanted to cause trouble.
They had to feel their own necks to see if they were hard enough.
And if they could withstand the Blood Butcher's cleaver.
The man leading the team was named Xue Tong.
When he saw Hou Yuan, whose arms had been lost, his pupils suddenly trembled.
He clearly hadn't expected Hou Yuan to be so severely injured.
After regaining his senses, he looked at Chen Nan, his eyes cold and emotionless, "Did you injure Young Master Hou?"
Chen Nan frowned slightly, "The Blood Butcher is the pillar of Central Province City!"
"A sharp blade that maintains the peace of the Wu Kingdom's citizens!"
"How is it that today, you have degenerated into someone else's hound?"
"You're seeking death!" Xue Tong was about to draw his saber.
Hou Yuan, however, stopped him immediately, "Captain Xue, it's just a minor matter. Don't interfere with this!"
He had previously suspected that Chen Nan was not an ordinary person.
After hearing those words, his conviction was further solidified.
This person was very strong.
Very cruel.
He could be considered lawless.
But his vision was grand.
Now, he was ninety percent sure that Chen Nan came from the immortal palace above their heads.
He looked at Yu Fei, enduring the pain, and said apologetically, "Miss Yu Fei, it was my fault today. I offer my sincerest apologies!"
Yu Fei instinctively swallowed.
She had expected the Blood Butcher to arrest Chen Nan after their appearance.
She hadn't expected things to turn out this way.
After regaining her senses, she stepped forward and quickly held Chen Nan's arm, "Brother Chen, let's leave quickly."
"This was just a lesson today. If you dare to bully people with your influence again, you won't just lose an arm!" Chen Nan said earnestly, patting Hou Yuan's shoulder.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Hou Yuan dared not say anything more and quickly agreed.
"I hope you can keep your word!"
Chen Nan and Yu Fei swaggered away.
Hou Yuan gave Xue Tong a look and transmitted mentally, "Send someone to follow them. I want to know who this guy is!"
"If he truly has an astonishing background, then I'll admit my misfortune!"
"If he's just an ordinary person..."
"I'll make him regret being born into this world!"
------
Although Chen Nan had left!
The deeds he left behind had become legendary.
The arrogant and overbearing Hou Yuan was slapped in public.
And his arms were crippled.
Even when the Blood Butcher appeared, he didn't dare to order an arrest.
Instead, he publicly apologized.
This was something ordinary people wouldn't even dare to imagine.
After all, Hou Yuan had always bullied the common folk.
When had he ever suffered such humiliation?
"Brother Chen, why did you act so harshly before?"
After the previous incident.
Chen Nan and Yu Fei had lost any interest in visiting the temple fair and returned to the Star Picking Tower.
Back at the tower, Yu Fei finally asked the question that was bothering her.
Chen Nan: "Hou Yuan is a classic example of bullying the weak and fearing the strong. The more you fear him, the more he will escalate."
"Conversely."
"If you act tough."
"He will overthink, wondering if the other party has a significant background."
"The tougher you are, the more he will fear you."
Yu Fei suddenly realized, "So, even though the Blood Butcher arrived, and even if he wanted to tear you to pieces, he didn't dare to act rashly."
"But..."
She looked anxious, "What if Hou Yuan finds out you're just an ordinary person? He definitely won't let you off then."
"No big deal, he's just a clown. I don't take him seriously," Chen Nan said dismissively.
In fact, when he acted, he had already considered the worst-case scenario.
Either he would control the Central Province City's protective array and directly kill Hou Yuan.
Or he would leverage influence!
Leverage Cao Rufeng's influence to counter Hou Yuan!
After all, he had attained enlightenment in the art of formations through Cao Rufeng's personal insights!
It was only right and proper that he should pay a visit!
At that time!
The person who had followed them should have informed Hou Yuan of his whereabouts, right?
With this connection to Cao Rufeng, why would he fear a mere Hou Yuan?
He also wasn't afraid of Hou Yuan causing trouble for Yu Fei's parents.
After all, Yu Fei's parents were aware that a mysterious influential figure had proposed.
As long as this information was relayed to Hou Yuan, he wouldn't dare to act recklessly.
His seemingly impulsive and reckless behavior had, in reality, accounted for all possible escape routes!
Of course.
Chen Nan also had another purpose for doing this.
That was to test the power of the Misfortune Array.
When he had patted Hou Yuan's shoulder earlier, he had embedded a small Misfortune Array he had set up into Hou Yuan's body.
As for how powerful the array was, he didn't know yet.
But he was certain.
Hou Yuan would definitely not let this matter go.
It was a perfect opportunity to use him to test the power of the Misfortune Array.
According to the records of the Qi-Gazing Technique.
Everyone had multiple fortunes.
But once misfortune struck, great disaster was inevitable.
However, on Earth, Chen Nan had never genuinely practiced the Qi-Gazing Technique.
With nothing else to do.
He looked at Yu Fei, who was chatting with Yu Weiwei.
He wanted to see her fortune!
But he discovered that she had a trace of bloody light energy on her.
And it was very strong.
"Why does Yu Fei have a trace of bloody light energy?"
"What is going to happen to have such a strong bloody light energy?"
Chen Nan felt a sense of foreboding.
This bloody light energy directly enveloped her lifespan.
If it wasn't resolved, she would surely perish.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Chen Nan's intense gaze made Yu Fei's heart flutter.
She was completely unable to resist Chen Nan's charm.
Even a single glance.
"Who told you you're so beautiful?" Chen Nan said as if his mouth was smeared with honey.
Yu Fei's face flushed red, and she said to Yu Weiwei, "Enter sleep mode!"
Yu Weiwei slowly closed her eyes.
Yu Fei, blushing, said, "Brother Chen, it's late. Why don't I not go back tonight and stay here to rest?"
"I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it."
Chen Nan grinned.
This kind of thing!
He was very happy to oblige!
"Even if I can't handle it, you'll still feel sorry for me."
------
The beautiful night passed in a flash.
The next day.
After breakfast.
Chen Nan and Yu Fei left the Star Picking Tower.
They first went to East Street to buy some pastries.
According to Yu Fei, when she visited Cao Rufeng with her master years ago, she had bought osmanthus cakes from East Street.
This was Cao Rufeng's favorite pastry.
He never tired of eating it.
Afterward, they bought two jars of peach blossom wine.
Carrying the wine and pastries, they headed towards Cao Rufeng's home!
Just as Chen Nan had predicted!
No matter where they went, a Golden Immortal realm powerhouse was secretly following them!
Upon seeing Chen Nan and Yu Fei heading to Cao Rufeng's home with gifts!
That Golden Immortal realm powerhouse immediately used his communication jade slip and informed Hou Yuan with a trembling voice, "Young Master, those two have gone to Master Cao's residence!"
