You Jin would never have dreamed that Chen Nan would enter the Ninth Minor World!
And he entered with him!
After he entered the minor world, Chen Nan controlled the Immortal Mansion to detach from his body!
At the same time!
He also felt a sense of rejection!
Even though he was inside the Immortal Mansion, that feeling was particularly strong!
After confirming that You Jin had left!
Chen Nan changed into a black brocade robe, making him look no different from the people here!
Then he left the Immortal Mansion!
The next moment!
A strong pressure from heaven and earth swept across the nine heavens!
It was evident that the heavenly laws of this minor world rejected outsiders!
However!
It was only that!
Even the heavenly laws of Earth could not do anything to him, let alone the heavenly laws of a mere minor world!
He ignored the descent of heavenly might and looked towards a vast city in the north!
"I was too hasty when I arrived. I should have found a cultivator from the Ninth Minor World to be my guide!" Chen Nan sighed inwardly. He was completely clueless about the Ninth Minor World, and didn't even know how large this minor world was!
Nor did he know the structure of this world!
He felt a bit at a loss!
But it was nothing!
He had a mouth below his nose!
At worst, he could ask!
Arriving at the foot of the city wall, Chen Nan saw the name of this city!
White Emperor City!
This city was exceptionally prosperous. Even at night, countless merchants were entering and exiting White Emperor City!
Contrary to Chen Nan's imagination, most of the common people here were mortals!
Not everyone cultivated!
Even the guards at the gate were cultivators, but their realms were not very high!
Most of them were at the late Foundation Establishment stage!
Those at the Golden Core stage could be considered powerful!
"Jia Xiu's strength was very strong when he showed it. He reached at least the Golden Core stage. It's likely that the Jia family is not an ordinary family in this world!"
"Perhaps I can inquire about information regarding the Jia family!"
After entering White Emperor City, Chen Nan went to a brightly lit and very prosperous restaurant, and found a seat by the window on the third floor.
Then he ordered some food and ate alone!
This was not only a feudal dynasty, but even the food culture was poor!
The so-called delicacies held no attraction for Chen Nan, but the wine was quite good!
As he ate, he listened to the discussions of the diners around him!
He wanted to gather some information about this world from their mouths!
"Did you hear? The Jia family was apprehended by the authorities for colluding with remnants of the previous dynasty!"
"Doesn't everyone in White Emperor City know about this?"
"I never expected a prestigious family like the Jia family to do such a thing. It's truly disheartening!"
"Do you really think the Jia family colluded with the remnants of the previous dynasty? I don't think so! They simply offended a powerful figure and were framed with baseless charges!"
Someone said this with great indignation!
"Exactly. Hundreds of years ago, the former emperor overthrew the old system of the previous dynasty. The Jia family played a crucial role. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been bestowed with the Imperial Edict and the Death-Exempting Talisman by the former emperor!"
"Anyone could betray the court, but the Jia family would not!"
"There's no point in talking about this. It's all the fault of the current emperor for being incompetent and controlled by traitors!"
Hearing this, Chen Nan's eyebrows shot up!
No wonder Jia Xiu didn't respond when he was called out in Death Valley. It turns out something really happened!
He carried two jars of wine to the dining table not far away, placed the wine down, and politely asked, "Could you elder brothers tell me about the Jia family?"
The four people were a bit wary of Chen Nan's appearance. One of them said, "You don't even know about the Jia family. Aren't you from White Emperor City?"
Chen Nan smiled and said, "I am a rogue cultivator. I've been traveling the world and am not aware of the Jia family's affairs!"
The four were greatly surprised and quickly rose to salute!
Here, cultivators held a very high status!
Then one of them said, "The Jia family was a prestigious family in White Emperor City. Although the Jia family members did not enter officialdom, as a meritorious family of the current dynasty, the Jia family has always held a high status in White Emperor City!"
"This is not only because the Jia family possessed the Death-Exempting Talisman and the Imperial Edict, but more importantly, the Jia family had many powerful cultivators!"
"However, more than half a year ago, the Jia family refused a marriage alliance with the Prince Wu's Mansion, and their family's fate was changed thereafter..."
From the other's explanation, Chen Nan learned about the changes in the Jia family!
All of this was related to the appearance of his parents and the others!
When Chen XiaZhi and Chen Hanlu arrived in White Emperor City, their outstanding looks and demeanor attracted the admiration of many young masters in White Emperor City!
However, because the Jia family was powerful, even though some people harbored ill intentions!
No one dared to cause trouble for the two of them!
But!
There were many families more powerful than the Jia family!
Prince Wu's Mansion was the most powerful family!
The current Prince Wu was not only the powerful Left Prime Minister, holding the highest position in the court, but also a cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage!
Not only that, but he was also a top-tier expert in the entire cultivation world!
Chen XiaZhi and Chen Hanlu sisters were favored by Prince Wu's son, who personally brought betrothal gifts to the Jia family to propose marriage!
However!
The Jia family refused Prince Wu's son!
Because they disdained Prince Wu's power!
They did not want to push their granddaughter into a fiery pit!
After that!
The Jia family was accused of colluding with remnants of the previous dynasty. However, because the Jia family possessed the Death-Exempting Talisman and the Imperial Edict, even the current emperor could not severely punish them!
But seven days ago!
The Jia family's Death-Exempting Talisman and Imperial Edict mysteriously disappeared!
The emperor was furious!
Let alone colluding with remnants of the previous dynasty!
Even losing the Death-Exempting Talisman and the Imperial Edict was a grave offense!
Therefore!
In a fit of rage, he imprisoned all eighty-one members of the Jia family in the heavenly prison!
"It is said that many in the court wanted to intercede for the Jia family, because everyone knew that even if the sky fell, the Jia family would not only not betray the court, but would be the first to stand up!"
"Therefore, the Jia family is the last reliance in the hearts of countless court officials!"
"If the Jia family is truly annihilated, then the court is truly rotten!"
"However, the current emperor is incompetent and unable to change Prince Wu's wishes!"
"Barring any surprises, His Majesty will personally issue an edict to execute the entire Jia family!"
Chen Nan's expression was solemn!
He thought that his parents and younger sister could avoid war and slaughter by coming here!
He didn't expect it to implicate the Jia family!
The situation was more troublesome than he had imagined!
After all, he was now facing not just You Jin, but the entire court!
However!
This was not insurmountable for him!
He could completely sneak into the heavenly prison, let everyone enter the Immortal Mansion, and then rescue them without anyone noticing!
Thinking of this!
Chen Nan suddenly felt that it wasn't that troublesome after all!
After paying the bill, Chen Nan left the restaurant and headed straight for the heavenly prison!
The Immortal Mansion could be large or small. Since he could follow You Jin to the Ninth Minor World, what difficulty would there be in sneaking into the heavenly prison to rescue the Jia family?
