Xue Yun's scream echoed in Chen Nan's mind!
"What happened?" Chen Nan's expression was grave!
Xue Yun and the others possessed cultivation at the ninth layer peak of the Golden Core stage, an existence almost invincible in the mortal world!
Even encountering cultivators of the same realm would not result in such misery!
"It's the enforcers, the enforcers are here, they want to take us back, and let us be imprisoned in hell forever!"
"I'll go over now!"
Chen Nan changed direction, his figure flashing across the sky above the clouds!
He had read some ancient texts and heard from Xue Yun and the others that each small world had a lifespan, and after collapsing, it would heal on its own! Reading books!
As for the so-called enforcers...
They were a team formed by powerful individuals from the seventeen small worlds!
They represented the laws of the cultivation world!
And Xue Yun and the others were previously captured because they fell into the hands of the enforcers!
Five minutes later, Chen Nan flew to the north of Jizhou and intercepted two old men in the air!
They wore linen robes, had white hair and youthful complexions, giving off an air of immortal elegance!
Below them, they rode a giant jade gourd, which looked like a ship drifting above the clouds!
Xue Yun and the others had their Dantian sealed, sitting listlessly on the jade gourd!
Upon seeing Chen Nan, the members of the Sky-Piercing Association couldn't help but show fanatical looks!
Although the enforcers were powerful, Chen Nan was no pushover!
"Junzi Sword? You are the sect leader of the Huashan Sword Sect? Not bad, the Huashan Sword Sect actually has a Golden Core stage expert!" the thin old man asked with a frown, recognizing the Junzi Sword as the sect leader's token of the Huashan Sword Sect!
"Indeed!" Chen Nan stood with one hand behind his back, looking at him neither subserviently nor arrogantly, "May I ask why seniors are arresting my people?"
These two individuals were very powerful!
Definitely not Golden Core stage cultivators!
If nothing unexpected happened, they should have reached the Nascent Soul stage, super experts!
Although Nascent Soul stage cultivators were terrifyingly powerful!
Chen Nan felt an urge to test his own strength!
He really wanted to find a master to see how skilled he was!
You Jin frowned, "You claim these prisoners are your people?"
Chen Nan said, "Yes, they have long since pledged allegiance to me, they are my people! Therefore, if you want to take them away, do you need to consult me?"
His tone was calm!
Completely embodying arrogance and presumptuousness!
Especially the word "consult" made You Jin and Zhen Kong, two Nascent Soul stage cultivators, look at him as if he were an idiot!
You Jin sneered, "Young man, do you know who we are? What is our cultivation?"
Chen Nan: "I don't want to know these things, I only know they are my people, and that's enough!"
Zhen Kong snorted, "A mere seventh-level Golden Core junior dares to be so arrogant in front of us, do you really think we won't kill you just because you are the sect leader of the Huashan Sword Sect?"
Even so, he was very curious!
He didn't know why Xue Yun and the others would pledge allegiance to Chen Nan!
After all, any one of them could crush Chen Nan!
You Jin said, "Fellow Daoist Zhen Kong, please calm your anger. We are enforcers, and we should reason with people. Don't get angry or lose your temper so easily. It's not good!"
He then looked at Chen Nan, "Do you know what crime Xue Yun committed? Do you know why he was imprisoned in hell?"
"I am not interested in these things!" Chen Nan said, "Whether they were good or evil before, they have not done anything wicked since they pledged allegiance to me!"
"Based on this alone, I will not let you take them away!"
Zhen Kong angrily said, "I never thought the sect leader of the Huashan Sword Sect would be such a person who cannot distinguish right from wrong. If it weren't for the sake of your Huashan Sword Sect's ancestors, I would have flayed you alive for these words alone!"
You Jin did not get angry. He waved his hand, signaling Zhen Kong to stop talking, and then said, "Xue Yun comes from the thirteenth small world. He once killed three hundred and sixty lives in a family, from the elderly to infants, he spared no one. He is a demon with blood-stained hands!"
"Shut up!" Xue Yun's eyes were bloodshot, and he roared, "You only remember that I killed three hundred and sixty lives of the Feng family, why don't you ask what the Feng family did to my Xue family?"
"Just because my sister rejected the Feng family's marriage proposal, the young master of the Feng family was enraged. Not only did he take my sister, but he also cruelly murdered her!"
"Afterwards, the young master of the Feng family, fearing retaliation from our Xue family, framed us for colluding with bandits and led the yamen to exterminate all seven hundred and twenty-five members of my Xue family!"
"You claim to be enforcers and represent the laws of the small worlds!"
"However, after my Xue family was massacred, why didn't you uphold justice for my Xue family?"
"Did I not go to the county yamen to beat the drum and cry for justice?"
"But, did anyone pay attention to me?"
"No!"
"Because the advisor in the yamen was from the Feng family!"
"Not only that, you even said I was a remnant of the Xue family and wanted to capture me all at once!"
"I had no choice but to flee!"
"I had no choice but to use my own methods to avenge the seven hundred and twenty-five members of my Xue family!"
"I just don't understand, why can the Feng family destroy my Xue family, but my Xue family cannot take revenge?"
"Law?"
"What is law?"
"The cultivation world doesn't need any damn laws!"
"The strong prey on the weak, and the fittest survive. This is the law!"
"And the so-called law you speak of is merely a tool for the powerful to abuse their authority!"
"Ask the people behind me!"
"Even if their hands are stained with blood, which one of them was not forced to a dead end by you?"
His eyes were filled with hatred!
Even though two hundred years had passed since that tragic incident, the memory of it still felt like being cut by a knife in his heart!
Chen Nan did not expect Xue Yun to have such a deep-seated hatred. He said, "Therefore, I do not believe my people are guilty. Is it a crime to seek revenge for one's loved ones?"
You Jin frowned slightly, "Guilty or not guilty is not for an ant like you to decide. Our duty is to send them back to hell. If you obstruct us, do not blame us for not giving face to the ancestors of the Huashan Sword Sect!"
"Release them, and I will spare your lives!" Chen Nan's eyes glinted with coldness!
He did not know the true situation of those small worlds!
But as Xue Yun said, when the so-called law falls into the hands of others, it becomes a bargaining chip for the powerful to manipulate the world!
This kind of behavior!
He could not stand it!
And most importantly!
Since Xue Yun and the others were members of the Sky-Piercing Association!
He would absolutely not stand by and watch them be taken away!
Zhen Kong was furious, "Ignorant brat, are you getting out of hand? Since you want to die, this old man will fulfill your wish!" As he spoke, he formed a hand seal!
Instantly!
A green sword energy shot out from his fingertips, dazzling and brilliant, like a streak of stunning rainbow!
And at this critical moment!
Chen Nan reached out with his bare hand and blocked Zhen Kong's sword energy, with a hint of doubt on his face, "Is this the extent of a Nascent Soul stage expert's ability?"
