In the video!
A dragon hound covered in blood lay in a pool of gore!
The blood had dyed the snow red!
Clearly visible were its horrifying sword wounds!
Behind it, an elder in his sixties sat cross-legged before a pill furnace, addressing the camera: "If you want this beast to live, come to Kunlun Mountain!"
His words were rather cryptic!
Not directed at anyone in particular!
But Chen Nan knew!
Those words were for him!
After all, he and the dragon hound had consumed that Twin Snow Lotus!
It had taken the Yang lotus!
He had taken the Yin lotus!
Even though the Twin Snow Lotus had been consumed by one person and one hound for nearly three months!
There were still residual medicinal effects in their bodies!
The elder in the video was likely an alchemist!
"He probably wants to refine me and Sister Hound into pills, right?" Chen Nan's heart surged with killing intent. He and the dragon hound shared a bond. If it weren't for them killing that Flood Dragon and seizing the Twin Snow Lotus!
He would not have achieved his current cultivation!
And now!
He could not stand by and watch the dragon hound suffer!
"Sect Master, this person is not a cultivator from the mortal world. If I'm not mistaken, he should be a powerful being who escaped from hell!" Cang Jue's expression was grim.
Chen Nan had been refining pills these past few days, and Cang Jue had observed and learned from him! He had learned from Chen Nan that he had been to Kunlun Mountain and seen the dragon hound!
So, upon seeing the video, he came here immediately!
"I need to go to Kunlun Mountain!"
Chen Nan's eyes were resolute!
Ruolan frowned: "You are now the Sect Master of the Huashan Sword Sect. Your every word and action determines the survival of the Huashan Sword Sect. You are actually risking your life for a mere beast?"
Chen Nan retorted: "Should I return the position of Huashan Sword Sect Master to you then?"
Ruolan was speechless, seemingly surprised by Chen Nan's anger.
"To you, it might be a beast, but to me, it's a friend."
"Therefore, I cannot stand by and watch it be tortured!" Chen Nan realized his previous words were too harsh and explained.
"Of course, if you were in such a perilous situation, I would also rush to your aid without hesitation!"
He then looked at Cang Jue: "Is there any way for me to reach Kunlun Mountain immediately?"
Cang Jue produced a thick stack of cyan talismans: "These are teleportation talismans. With your cultivation, Sect Master, you can fully control the direction of teleportation."
"I have already gathered the other mountain-guarding elders, and they are willing to accompany you to Kunlun Mountain!"
Chen Nan asked: "To be a burden?"
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Cang Jue was choked into a violent coughing fit!
Chen Nan said: "The dragon hound is my friend. Now that it is in trouble, it is my duty to save it! As for the Huashan Sword Sect, cultivate well and improve your cultivation first!"
He would not involve the Huashan Sword Sect unless absolutely necessary!
Swish!
He activated the teleportation talisman and disappeared from Cangyun Peak like a streak of cyan afterimage!
Teleportation talismans were very fast!
A hundred miles took only five minutes!
While teleporting, Chen Nan also opened the short video platform on his phone!
He discovered that many cultivators had appeared in Great Xia. Some gained many fans by performing spells, most of whom were law-abiding and adhered to the laws of the mortal world!
There were also some who were unruly, resorting to theft and robbery, occupying wealthy families, and indulging in a life of debauchery and extravagance!
Currently, the existence of these individuals had not affected the operations of the mortal world!
He also came across the elder who had injured the dragon hound!
The elder's name was Daoist Shangzhen, and he was currently topping the short video charts!
He had gained over a million fans!
And the number of fans was still rapidly increasing!
At noon!
Chen Nan arrived at the Kunlun Mountain pass!
From afar, he saw a patch of bright red blood on the snowy mountain next to the pass!
He saw Daoist Shangzhen from the video!
And he saw the dying dragon hound!
Similarly!
Daoist Shangzhen also saw Chen Nan, a playful glint in his eyes: "I truly didn't expect you to dare to show up! I quite like this courage!"
"It's just a pity that you shouldn't have consumed that Twin Snow Lotus!"
"Otherwise, I wouldn't have targeted you!"
"You shouldn't have come!"
The dragon hound spoke, its voice very weak!
Chen Nan walked up the mountain step by step: "We shared life and death, fought side by side. How could I stand by and watch you suffer?"
The dragon hound looked at him with complex eyes!
As if it hadn't expected Chen Nan to say such a thing!
Because in its eyes, Chen Nan was just an ordinary person it had met once!
Yet he considered it a comrade!
"Junior Chen Nan, greets Senior!" Chen Nan bowed to Daoist Shangzhen: "Junior did not know that the Twin Snow Lotus belonged to Senior, which is why I consumed it rashly. However, Junior is willing to compensate Senior with a spirit medicine!"
Daoist Shangzhen frowned slightly: "You have spirit medicine?"
Chen Nan took out a storage bag: "This storage bag contains a five-thousand-year-old blood ginseng!" Saying this, the storage bag floated towards Daoist Shangzhen.
Hearing about the five-thousand-year-old blood ginseng, Daoist Shangzhen's eyes revealed unconcealed ecstasy!
He extended a palm and grasped the storage bag!
Then he injected his spiritual power into it!
Boom!
The moment his spiritual power entered, the storage bag exploded!
It ignited the flame talismans Chen Nan had prepared!
Like a gas tank exploding, it sent Daoist Shangzhen flying!
Even his hair and eyebrows were scorched, making him look like a bald man!
"Junior, you dare to harm this old man! I will surely refine you into a pill!" Daoist Shangzhen let out a thunderous roar.
But he found that Chen Nan had already taken the dragon hound and fled into the depths of Kunlun Mountain!
"You cannot escape! You have offended this old man, and there will be no place for you in this world!" Daoist Shangzhen's face was contorted with ferocity. He pursued Chen Nan into the depths of Kunlun Mountain, following the trail he left behind!
"Without sword flight, it seems Daoist Shangzhen is not at the Golden Core stage!"
Chen Nan also breathed a sigh of relief!
If the opponent were a Golden Core stage expert, he would be no match!
But now!
He could find a way to kill him!
He used the teleportation talisman to create distance from Daoist Shangzhen and gave the dragon hound some spiritual flood dragon pills to help it recover its cultivation!
However, it was a pity!
The dragon hound's injuries were severe, and even after taking the spiritual flood dragon pills, its injuries did not heal!
The dragon hound glanced at Daoist Shangzhen, who was trailing behind: "I'm afraid I won't make it..."
Chen Nan roared: "Stop talking nonsense! I traveled thousands of miles to save you, can't you be more optimistic?"
"However, thank you for risking your life to save me!" The dragon hound looked into the distance and said weakly: "Ahead is Mount Carter. Cross this mountain, close your eyes, and follow my instructions to proceed."
"Remember, not a single step can be wrong, or you will step into a place of eternal damnation!"
Chen Nan shuddered and couldn't help but look at the dragon hound on his back: "Sister Hound, is there really no need for this? I am confident I can defeat that old man!"
The dragon hound: "I am about to die. I want to give you a great opportunity!"
