"If I don't let him die, will King Yama take him?"
Chen Nan's gaze sharpened, and he instantly appeared before Zong Qiang!
Even though a terrifying energy erupted from his dantian, along with a scorching golden light!
Chen Nan showed no fear!
He extended his right hand, shaped like a dragon's claw!
Pfft!
Zong Qiang's physical body was like tofu in front of Chen Nan's sharp claws!
He plunged his right hand into the opponent's body, then grabbed his primordial golden core and directly dug it out!
щ(ﾟДﾟщ)
乂(ﾟДﾟ三ﾟДﾟ)乂
Σ（ﾟдﾟlll）
At this moment!
Everyone's eyes widened, their scalps tingling!
That was a powerful expert at the Golden Core stage!
And he was about to self-destruct his golden core!
Yet you brutally dug out his primordial golden core?
Are you a devil?
"W-w-wh-why... w-w-would th-this happen?" Zong Qiang spewed blood, unable to accept his golden core being dug out by Chen Nan. It was as if Chen Nan had left him no dignity at all!
"You... you... wh-why... are you... so... powerful?"
Regrettably!
Before Chen Nan could answer his question, he had already breathed his last!
"This person is a devil, let's run!"
Zong Qiang's subordinates panicked, scattering like headless flies!
"Kill!"
Cang Ning roared!
"Kill!"
The disciples of the Mount Hua Sword Sect were like they had been injected with adrenaline. Every one of them had ferocious eyes, wanting to avenge the disciples who had died under Zong Qiang earlier.
"Answer me a few questions, and I can spare your life!"
Chen Nan grabbed a master at the eighth level of Foundation Establishment!
"Speak, I'll speak!" The eighth-level Foundation Establishment expert was filled with fear!
Chen Nan asked, "How strong are the Eighteen Heavenly Kings?"
To know oneself and the enemy is the key to victory.
Chen Nan needed to understand the strength of the Eighteen Heavenly Kings!
"All eighteen Heavenly Kings possess peak Golden Core stage cultivation!"
Chen Nan's heart trembled!
Even though his current strength was immense, it was thanks to the power of merit!
Even if he could kill experts like Zong Qiang!
Facing a peak Golden Core stage expert, even he had no confidence in surviving!
"Tell me about Emperor Yu's strength and how many troops he commands!"
Chen Nan had no good feelings towards the so-called Eighteen Heavenly Kings!
As long as they didn't bully mortals in the secular world, he could turn a blind eye.
But Emperor Yu was an exception!
Nangong Wan had died tragically because of Emperor Yu's men!
This revenge must be taken!
Otherwise, his heart would not be at peace.
"Emperor Yu reached the peak Golden Core stage a hundred years ago!"
"As for whether he has now advanced to Nascent Soul, it is unknown!"
"He commands thirteen late-stage Golden Core experts, thirty-six mid-stage Golden Core experts, and eighty-eight early-stage Golden Core experts!"
"As for Foundation Establishment cultivators, there are over eight hundred!"
Emperor Yu's strength made Chen Nan's heart pound!
Let alone killing Emperor Yu!
Just his subordinates alone, he might not be able to defeat them all!
Unless he could unlock the second layer of the immortal mansion and obtain more treasures!
"You can leave now!" Chen Nan said, "Go back and tell your Blood Emperor behind you that Mount Hua is the territory of my Mount Hua Sword Sect, and it's not limited to Cangyun Peak!"
"Tell him to come to Cangyun Peak in seven days to mourn and repent for the disciples who died today!"
"Otherwise, I don't mind making the Eighteen Heavenly Kings into Seventeen Heavenly Kings!"
The middle-aged man's scalp tingled!
Asking the Blood Emperor to come to the Mount Hua Sword Sect to repent for ordinary disciples?
This brat is truly courting death, lighting a lamp in a latrine!
Despite this, he dared not say anything more!
"I will convey Sect Leader Chen's words to the Blood Emperor verbatim!"
The middle-aged man said fearfully, then produced a yellow talisman. Activating it, he instantly vanished from the spot!
Regrettably, out of hundreds who came, only he returned.
"Sect Leader, you... you..." Cang Ning's face was ashen. The words that came to his lips seemed to choke him.
Just now, the middle-aged man said the Blood Emperor had peak Golden Core stage strength!
Coupled with his countless subordinates!
Chen Nan asking him to come and mourn in seven days was no different from slapping him in the face!
This was a public declaration of war!
If the other party didn't come, so be it.
But if he did come, there would surely be a bloody battle!
With the strength of the Mount Hua Sword Sect, they were no match for the Blood Emperor!
"Collect these corpses. I'll take them back as fertilizer!" Chen Nan casually ordered, then threw the golden core to Ruo Lan, "Beautiful elder sister, take it to absorb!"
When he had something good, Ruo Lan was the first person he thought of!
"I have a method for forming cores, I don't need this stuff!"
Ruo Lan said indifferently!
"Sect Leader, I want it, I want it!" Cang Ning said excitedly. A cultivator's golden core contained a vast amount of spiritual energy. Consuming it could increase one's cultivation!
"I want it too!" Cang Jue looked at Chen Nan pitifully!
"Here, one for each of you!"
Chen Nan took out Gui Ye's golden core and gave one to Cang Ning and Cang Jue each!
Although this thing could increase cultivation, he disdained it!
Afterward, Chen Nan ascended Cangyun Peak!
He saw the disciples who had died tragically.
They had suffered this catastrophe because they were maintaining the mountain-guarding formation!
They were all heroes!
Chen Nan said softly, "Give a grand burial to the disciples of my Mount Hua Sword Sect who died tragically today. Set up a mourning hall for them, and wait for the Blood Emperor to come in seven days to mourn and repent!!!"
"Don't worry, since I dared to ask the Blood Emperor to come and mourn, I naturally don't fear him!"
"Right!"
"The Mount Hua Sword Sect has spirit stones, right? Bring them all to me!"
He needed spirit stones to make the Sword Immortal puppet unleash its peak ninth-level Golden Core strength, so as to contend with the Blood Emperor!
As for his more than a hundred Golden Core subordinates...
There was no need to fear them too much!
Because he could go and unlock the second layer of the immortal mansion!
As long as he could successfully unlock the immortal mansion, a mere Blood Emperor would be nothing to fear!
Returning to his cultivation cave, Chen Nan directly took out the immortal mansion, which transformed into a pagoda about twenty to thirty centimeters tall. He flashed and entered it!
"Greetings, Mansion Master!"
Jintong and Yunü bowed!
The Sword Immortal puppet stood quietly to the side!
Chen Nan asked, "How can I unlock the second layer of the immortal mansion space?"
Jintong replied, "As long as the Mansion Master reaches the Golden Core stage cultivation, you can unlock it!"
Chen Nan frowned, "Do I really need to reach the Golden Core stage cultivation?"
Jintong: "This is the rule left by the old Mansion Master!"
Chen Nan asked, "Is it possible to have the strength of a Golden Core stage expert?"
Jintong was stunned, "This... you can try. We don't know if it will work or not!"
"Then let's try!"
"Alright!"
Jintong waved his right hand, and a staircase leading to the second layer of the immortal mansion appeared before Chen Nan. Jintong said, "At the end of the stairs is a stone door. As long as the Mansion Master can push open the stone door, you can enter!"
Chen Nan rolled his eyes, "Nonsense, if I can't push it open, I definitely can't get in!"
------
Meanwhile!
The middle-aged man, whom Chen Nan had allowed to leave, appeared on a peak in the Kunlun Mountains and said to a burly figure who was cultivating, "Lord Blood Emperor, I have failed in my duty and was unable to take over the Mount Hua Sword Sect!"
The Blood Emperor slowly opened his blood-red eyes, "Why have you returned alone?"
