"But what if we don't want to marry into the Mount Hua Sword Sect?" Yue Qiluo was a cultivator. Although her master was an ordinary rogue cultivator, she knew a lot about the Mount Hua Sword Sect's bullying tactics.
They presented themselves as righteous disciples of a renowned sect, yet they engaged in too many wicked deeds and acts of oppression in secret!
From the bottom of her heart, she disliked the Mount Hua Sword Sect; in fact, she detested them.
Yue Dongming snorted coldly, "This is not up for your refusal!"
"Dad, if you're going to do this, don't blame us for disowning you!" Yue Qimeng clenched her fists, feeling disappointed in her father.
Yue Dongming's face was full of longing as he uttered words that plunged the sisters into despair: "As long as I can gain an immortal fate, what does it matter if I disown my daughters?"
At this moment!
The image of her father in Yue Qimeng's heart crumbled.
No matter how well he had treated her before, it couldn't compare to his current greed and his desire to achieve immortality!
"If neither of you wishes to marry into the Mount Hua Sword Sect, you can leave with me!" Chen Nan truly could not bear to see the sisters being taken away by the Mount Hua Sword Sect.
"We are willing to leave with senior!" Yue Qiluo immediately declared her stance.
Yue Qimeng: "I am also willing to leave with Brother Chen!"
Yue Dongming laughed heartily, "Not a single one of you will leave! Yes, the wine you just drank contained Qi Dissolving Powder."
"This is a colorless and odorless poison. While it cannot kill you, it will cause cultivators below the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment stage to lose their cultivation!"
Before he finished speaking, he saw the experts from the Mount Hua Sword Sect.
There were more than a dozen of them.
The leader was a middle-aged man who appeared to be in his thirties.
Though not old, he exuded the cultivation of the early fourth level of the Foundation Establishment stage.
The young men behind him also possessed the strength of the middle to late stages of the Qi Refining stage!
Yue Dongming's eyes lit up. He immediately stepped forward and said to the leader, "Greetings, Senior He Li. My two daughters have been prepared for the Second Elder."
"In addition, Chen Nan has also been poisoned by the Qi Dissolving Powder."
Seeing the people from the Mount Hua Sword Sect, the Yue sisters felt as if the sky had fallen and the earth had cracked.
Now that Chen Nan was severely poisoned, how could he possibly be their opponent?
And how could he possibly take them away?
A deep despair filled their hearts, giving them an almost suffocating sensation!
He Li looked at Chen Nan and said coldly, "How dare you kill someone from my Mount Hua Sword Sect? You truly have the audacity of a leopard with a bear's heart! Today, I will kill you to avenge our Mount Hua Sword Sect disciple!"
As he finished speaking, he struck Chen Nan with a palm.
Yue Qiluo almost instantly stood in front of Chen Nan, gritting her teeth and saying, "Let him go, and my sisters will return to the Mount Hua Sword Sect with you. Otherwise, all you will take back are our corpses!"
"I detest it most when others threaten me!" He Li roared, and his spiritual power surged out, causing Yue Qiluo to spit out a mouthful of blood.
Just as she was about to fall, Chen Nan embraced her slender waist, his lips curling into a meaningful arc, "Since you've decided to follow me, you should hide behind me. If you do this, I lose a lot of face."
Having said that, he slapped out.
*Slap!*
True qi materialized into a giant palm print, directly shattering He Li's ribs and sending him flying over ten meters before he landed on the ground.
???
???
???
Silence fell over the scene.
Everyone's eyes widened!
How was this possible?
That was a super expert in the early fourth level of the Foundation Establishment stage!
How could he be sent flying by a casual palm strike from Chen Nan?
Heavens!
How could his strength be so terrifying?
"Impossible, you clearly drank my poisoned wine, why do you still have this kind of strength?" Yue Dongming shrieked.
Chen Nan helped Yue Qiluo to a seat and said calmly, "Your poisoned wine only targets those below the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment stage, and I do not fall into that category!"
"A Foundation Establishment stage fifth-level cultivator in his twenties? Who exactly are you?" He Li stood up, clutching his chest, his eyes filled with apprehension as he looked at Chen Nan.
The disciples of the Mount Hua Sword Sect also faced him as if facing a great enemy, their bodies trembling with fear.
A cultivator above the fifth level of the Foundation Establishment stage in his twenties, such a person would be considered a heavenly prodigy even within the inner sect of the Mount Hua Sword Sect.
No!
Even heavenly prodigies would pale in comparison to him!
The Yue sisters were overjoyed!
They knew Chen Nan was very strong!
But they never expected him to be this powerful!
Chen Nan gave a faint smile, "You might not believe me if I told you, but I'm just an ordinary person!"
He Li almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
You?
An ordinary person?
Was this even human language?
He took a deep breath and forced a smile onto his face, "Fellow Daoist Chen, is there perhaps a misunderstanding between us? If so, I apologize."
"We were unaware that these two sisters belonged to you. Please forgive any offense!"
Yue Dongming's heart trembled violently and he quickly said, "Senior He Li, he killed your outer sect elder and over twenty disciples! How can you apologize to him?"
"Shut up!" He Li gave him a cold glare. "My Mount Hua Sword Sect has thousands of disciples, what are a few ants to us? Are you trying to stir up trouble and incite conflict between us and Fellow Daoist Chen?"
"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare!" Yue Dongming lowered his head quickly.
He Li bowed to Chen Nan, "Fellow Daoist Chen, there is no enmity between us. Therefore, how about we let this matter be resolved amicably?"
He did not want to humble himself before Chen Nan.
Nor did he want to apologize to him.
But!
The cultivation world is a place that values strength and fistfights!
Compromising today was not improper. As long as he could leave alive.
Yes!
After leaving, he would first investigate Chen Nan's background and his sect!
If he was a rogue cultivator, they could simply find inner sect experts to eliminate him!
If he had an astonishing background, then he would have to swallow this humiliation!
Undeniably, He Li was very intelligent and knew how to assess the situation.
Unlike the outer sect elder named Wan Cang he had encountered last night, who, despite knowing he was outmatched, still threatened Chen Nan by invoking the Mount Hua Sword Sect.
Wasn't that just asking for death?
Chen Nan lit a cigarette and then asked, "Do you know Fan Ce?"
"Fellow Daoist Chen knows Senior Brother Fan Ce?" He Li smiled and said, "If that's the case, then this is truly a misunderstanding. To be frank, Fan Ce is my senior brother, and we are as close as brothers, with an excellent relationship."
Chen Nan asked, "How is he doing now?"
He Li said with ease, "Senior Brother Fan Ce completed a sect mission a while ago and has now become the Deputy Head of the Inner Sect Law Enforcement Hall, holding a high position."
"I truly didn't expect Fellow Daoist Chen to know Senior Brother Fan Ce. I am truly delighted to meet a friend of Senior Brother Fan Ce!"
A cold glint flashed in Chen Nan's eyes, "You're celebrating too soon!"
He Li asked nervously, "What does Fellow Daoist Chen mean by that?"
Chen Nan unleashed his monstrous killing intent, "Fan Ce is my mortal enemy! Since you are as close as brothers, how can I let you leave alive?"
