Buzz buzz buzz!
Chen Nan's phone kept ringing.
But at this moment, he was extremely nervous, even a little scared.
He didn't dare to answer.
Fearing he would hear bad news.
Finally.
He took a deep breath and pressed the answer button: "Do you have any news about her?"
Li Mu asked: "How should I address you? Ye Ce, or Chen Nan?"
It was obvious.
He had already guessed Chen Nan's identity.
After all, he knew about Jiang Ye kidnapping Chen Nan's family back then.
He also knew that Jiang Ye had returned to Huoyun Cave with severe injuries.
After that, Chen Nan vanished into thin air, and even they didn't know his whereabouts.
But news came from Huoyun Cave that a prodigy had appeared in the sect.
He had single-handedly crushed the strongest disciple Shi Haotian, refined the Foundation Establishment Pill, and won the heart of the Sect Master's daughter, Nangong Wan.
However, he went on a mission and never returned.
And Jiang Ye, who accompanied him on the mission, died mysteriously.
Li Mu had known about this for a long time, but he didn't know Ye Ce's origin or whereabouts.
But when he heard Chen Nan asking about Nangong Wan, he knew Ye Ce's true identity.
It had to be this guy, no doubt.
Chen Nan let out a desperate roar: "Don't play coy with me, tell me about Nangong Wan and Huoyun Cave quickly."
His heart… was in turmoil.
Completely chaotic!
His emotions were gradually spiraling out of control!
Li Mu said: "Nangong Wan is temporarily safe, yes, only temporarily."
"Previously, Qiu Yin from Centipede Cave attacked Huoyun Cave with his men."
"But all of them were killed by the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators of Huoyun Cave!"
"However, True Person Nanyang and True Person Liyuan have already set their sights on Huoyun Cave."
"They will definitely send experts, or even go themselves."
"According to the intelligence I've obtained, both of them are at the middle stage of Foundation Establishment."
"Oh, and also!"
"Huoyun Cave currently has one hundred and thirty-eight disciples, and they are determined to stay on the mountain, willing to share life and death with Nangong He!"
"Don't ask why they haven't left."
"Because they are unwilling to abandon Nangong He."
"As for why Nangong He is staying in Huoyun Cave..."
"Heh, it's mainly because of Nangong Wan..."
"After that person descended the mountain, the poor woman, clad in a phoenix coronet and robes, stood on Fengming Stone gazing into the distance, waiting for that person to return and marry her."
"She is so naive, believing from beginning to end that the man would return to marry her."
"Therefore, she refuses to leave."
"Even if the sky falls, she will wait there for her beloved."
Speaking of this, Li Mu started cursing loudly. Even though he usually feared Chen Nan, he couldn't hold back now: "Chen Nan, you are a scumbag. I really wonder how someone like you doesn't get struck by lightning!"
"Just wait, you son of a bitch will definitely go to hell after you die!"
"You're right, I am indeed a scumbag..." Chen Nan said with a bitter expression. He hadn't expected Nangong Wan to still be waiting for him to return. What a naive girl she was!
Thinking of this, his heart felt as if it had been sliced by a knife.
The intense pain made it difficult for him to breathe.
"It's snowing in Zhongnan Mountain, a rare blizzard that happens once a century!" Li Mu said, hanging up the phone, and sent Chen Nan a photo.
Seeing the solitary, beautiful figure in the icy, snowy landscape, Chen Nan let out a roar.
How could he be worthy of such a woman's affection!
How could he stand by and watch her face danger!
He drove his G-wagon towards Unit B like a madman.
At the same time, he called Li Mu again, gritting his teeth and asking, "How is my sword?"
Li Mu: "If you need it, I can have someone deliver it to Zhongnan Mountain!"
"I need it, I need that sword!"
Chen Nan had thought he would never step into Zhongnan Mountain again in this lifetime, because he had already let that woman down once!
But now.
He couldn't stand by and watch her face danger!
He couldn't accept so many people being implicated because of it!
He was willing to go mad this time!
Fearless of death, only seeking to follow his heart!
"You're still a man. Don't worry, I'll have someone deliver that sword to Zhongnan Mountain right away." Li Mu smiled, feeling for the first time that Chen Nan was a man with spirit.
"I want to see your boss!"
The Mercedes stopped at the entrance of Unit B, and Chen Nan directly took out his Yanhuang Guardian certificate.
As if they had received instructions, they let him pass immediately and said, "Please go directly to the training ground; it's already prepared."
"Thank you!"
Chen Nan thanked them and drove the car to the training ground.
From a distance, he could see a helicopter on standby.
"Comrade Chen Nan, we have received orders to escort you to Zhongnan Mountain!" A middle-aged man in his forties saluted Chen Nan. He was the boss here and had received a call from the Guardian headquarters twenty minutes ago.
"Thank you!"
Chen Nan boarded the helicopter directly.
Whirring!
The rotor blades spun rapidly, and the helicopter ascended into the sky, then headed west.
On the plane, Chen Nan sat cross-legged.
He knew that returning to Zhongnan Mountain this time would be fraught with endless danger and hardship!
After all, his current strength was still too weak. He might be invincible below the Foundation Establishment stage.
However.
His opponents were two super experts at the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. With his current strength, even with the Burning Heaven Furnace, a spiritual artifact, he wouldn't be enough to defeat them.
Therefore.
Improving his strength was crucial.
"Nangong Wan, you are my inner demon."
"You are alive, you are my inner demon; you are dead, you are also my inner demon."
"Since that's the case, I'll be reckless this time!"
"I hope you can wait for me!"
His eyes turned inky black, and he immediately began cultivating the Yin Absorption Art.
As it was night, the Yin energy was dense.
The moment he began cultivating, the pilot felt the helicopter vibrate slightly, and a chill enveloped his body.
Seeing the dark gas being absorbed by Chen Nan, the two pilots were relieved.
People from that department couldn't be judged by normal standards.
------
Chen Nan's cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds, like a rocket.
The biggest drawback of doing this was an unstable foundation, which would lead to inner demons when forming a Golden Core later.
However.
Did Chen Nan have any other choice?
No matter what, inner demons would arise, so why not be reckless?
Two hours later.
Chen Nan's expression became solemn. His true qi had reached a terrifying level, not only filling his dantian but also permeating every inch of his flesh and blood.
He felt as if he was about to explode, but he gritted his teeth tightly, controlling the true qi from leaking out.
The biggest difference between the Qi Refining stage and the Foundation Establishment stage was true qi.
In the Qi Refining stage, true qi was gaseous, while in the Foundation Establishment stage, true qi would liquefy.
Only when true qi liquefied could one be considered to have entered the Foundation Establishment stage.
Another half hour passed, and a sound like a raging tidal wave suddenly erupted from Chen Nan's body, startling the two pilots.
Immediately after, a terrifying aura spread from Chen Nan's body.
It was like a primeval behemoth awakening its slumbering eyes, suffocating!
