Shushan Sword Sect’s Jian Wuhen cupped his hands and said, “Sect Leader Chen’s generous gift is like sending charcoal in winter for us. Who wouldn’t like it?”
The others nodded in agreement!
Although many sect leaders at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment would not need this pill for now, they would certainly need it when they condensed their Golden Core in the future!
To put it bluntly!
This pill could save their lives!
As for the powerhouses from the seven top forces, they had already made up their minds. Upon returning to their respective sects, they would immediately take the Spirit Nurturing Pill to prepare for their future tribulations.
“Sect Leader Chen is young yet capable of refining Level Three pills. Truly, he is a rare talent and the hope of our alchemy world!” Wu Daozi exclaimed, acknowledging Chen Nan’s abilities.
Then, he changed the subject and said, “However, I do not believe the Huashan Sword Sect can withstand this impending catastrophe!”
They had not intended to discuss this matter!
After all, even if Chen Nan had become the sect leader of the Huashan Sword Sect, in their eyes, he did not possess the qualifications to converse with them.
But now!
Chen Nan had already become a powerhouse standing shoulder to shoulder with them.
Zhang Tianshi said, “Fellow Daoist Wu speaks the truth. This catastrophe is a calamity for the secular world and our cultivation world alike. We should remain aloof and not get involved!”
Chen Nan smiled, “My mind is made up regarding this matter…”
Roar!
Suddenly!
A beast’s roar echoed from the back mountain!
The sound was deafening, exuding a powerful bestial aura!
Even many with low cultivation bases felt a strong sense of oppression!
Cang Ning’s expression changed, “Why is that fellow suddenly going mad?”
Jian Wuhen couldn’t help but ask, “Is it the Violet-Eyed Lion, the guardian spirit beast of your Huashan Sword Sect?”
Cang Ning nodded slightly, his eyes grave, “That fellow has been dormant. For some reason, it has suddenly gone mad!”
“Roar!” Accompanied by a lion’s roar like thunder.
A robust and majestic lion appeared on the summit of Cangyun Peak. It stood three meters tall and was five meters long, covered in fiery red mane. Especially its pair of violet eyes, filled with coldness and bestial nature!
Seeing this Violet-Eyed Lion, weighing nearly ten thousand catties, everyone felt their hearts race!
The aura of this Violet-Eyed Lion was too strong, making them afraid to meet its gaze!
Especially the bestiality it exuded!
Caused the very void to tremble slightly. kanδん
“This fellow’s strength is comparable to a Pseudo-Core Formation expert. Although I don’t know why it has gone mad, it must be subdued!” Cang Ning’s expression was serious.
Now that forces from all sides had come to attend Chen Nan’s succession ceremony, if the Violet-Eyed Lion were to act violently in public, the consequences would be unimaginable!
They had to ensure the safety of the guests!
“I heard this fellow is very powerful. Can you subdue it with your strength alone?” Jian Wuhen chuckled. “Since we have accepted Sect Leader Chen’s Spirit Nurturing Pill, we naturally must help the Huashan Sword Sect suppress this demonic beast!”
Zhang Tianshi said, “If we combine our efforts, we should be able to subdue it!”
“Amitabha!” Abbot Huikong clasped his hands together, his demeanor solemn. “Cultivators below the seventh level of Foundation Establishment should quickly leave this place to avoid being caught in the crossfire!”
Hearing this, everyone turned and fled!
They had no choice but to run!
After all, even Zhang Tianshi said that if they combined their efforts, they should be able to subdue this demonic beast!
What did “should be able to” mean?
It meant they did not have absolute certainty!
At this moment, Chen Nan’s voice rang out, “Thank you for your kind intentions, fellow Daoists. This is a matter of my Huashan Sword Sect, and there is no need for others to intervene!”
“Sect Leader Chen, what do you mean? Could it be that your Huashan Sword Sect can subdue this demonic beast?” The Valley Master of Hundred Flowers Valley could not help but frown.
Wu Daozi smiled, “Although the Huashan Sword Sect’s strength is not weak, currently, there is no expert at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment in the Huashan Sword Sect. Even if all nine of your guardian elders were to attack together, you probably wouldn’t be able to subdue this demonic beast!”
“I alone am enough to deal with it!”
Chen Nan spoke with pride!
???
???
???
Everyone’s eyes widened!
Did I mishear?
This fellow actually said he could deal with this Violet-Eyed Lion by himself?
Could he have become arrogant after refining Level Three pills?
With his cultivation at the mid-stage of the seventh level of Foundation Establishment, how could he possibly defeat this Violet-Eyed Lion?
The sect leaders of the seven top forces secretly shook their heads!
It was normal for young people to seek the spotlight!
But seeking the spotlight should be done at the right time and place!
This Violet-Eyed Lion was terrifyingly powerful, and even the seven of them working together dared not guarantee its subjugation!
He alone could subdue the Violet-Eyed Lion?
What a joke!
He could not possibly have such strength!
Before everyone could react, Chen Nan used his Spatial Shifting technique, moving from the sacrificial altar to the front of the Violet-Eyed Lion.
His figure was upright and unmoving, like a sharp sword!
Every gesture exuded the demeanor of a powerhouse!
Even when facing a demonic beast with Pseudo-Core Formation strength alone, there was no hint of fear in his eyes!
Chen Nan spoke, his voice resonant, “Today is a joyous occasion for the Huashan Sword Sect. You should quickly retreat to the back mountain!”
Roar!
The Violet-Eyed Lion’s eyes flashed with ferocity, and it let out a deafening roar!
Then, it leaped and pounced at Chen Nan!
Seeing this scene!
Everyone held their breath!
The powerhouses from the other seven top forces even gripped their spiritual artifacts. If Chen Nan were to meet with misfortune, they would rescue him immediately!
This would also be considered repayment for the Spirit Nurturing Pill!
After all, today was the first day Chen Nan succeeded as the sect leader of the Huashan Sword Sect!
They couldn’t just stand by and watch him be killed by the Violet-Eyed Lion, could they?
If that were to happen, what would become of the Huashan Sword Sect’s reputation?
What about the reputation of the Eight Great Sects?
Of course!
If Chen Nan were truly killed by the Violet-Eyed Lion, the Huashan Sword Sect would certainly have to find a new sect leader!
And then…
They would have to attend the succession ceremony of the new sect leader!
The atmosphere became very oppressive!
Everyone held their breath!
Even some timid individuals closed their eyes!
As if Chen Nan was about to be devoured by the lion!
Just then!
Chen Nan moved!
He turned his fingers into brushes, his true qi into ink, and the sky into paper!
Under everyone’s shocked gazes, he wrote a large character ‘井’ in the air!
Instantly!
A massive green talisman appeared in the sky, emanating a mysterious and powerful aura!
“Talisman Art? He knows Talisman Art?” Zhang Tianshi exclaimed!
“Damn, who exactly is this guy? Not only is he proficient in alchemy, but he’s also proficient in Talisman Art?”
“Is he a monster?”
The powerhouses of the seven top forces looked at Chen Nan with apprehension in their eyes, completely unaware that this fellow had so many skills!
The character ‘井’ appeared in the sky, trapping the Violet-Eyed Lion beneath the talisman!
It roared incessantly, crashing against the talisman!
The scene erupted with dull thuds, causing the blood of cultivators with lower cultivation bases to churn. Some even vomited blood on the spot and fell unconscious!
This battle seemed to have no suspense!
But Zhang Tianshi’s brow was furrowed, his gaze extremely grave. “The ‘井’ talisman might not be able to trap this demonic beast. Once it breaks through the ‘井’ talisman, Sect Leader Chen will surely be in grave danger!”
Boom!
With a loud bang, the Violet-Eyed Lion broke through the ‘井’ talisman!
Like a beam of light, it rushed towards Chen Nan!
