Back in Jizhou.
It was already dark.
Chen Nan rushed to the Chen Family Medical Hall and spent an unforgettable night with He Shanshan.
The next day, he continued to see patients.
But on the afternoon of the second day.
Jiang Jiancheng's daughter, Jiang Li, came to the medical hall in a panic: "Brother Chen, please, can you save my dad?"
Chen Nan asked curiously, "What happened to your dad?"
Yesterday, he was with Jiang Jiancheng and didn't see any physical problems with him.
Jiang Li said, "My dad has been controlled. They want him to hand over all his assets, otherwise they'll kill him!"
"Is there such a thing?"
A surge of anger rose in Chen Nan's heart.
Jiang Jiancheng was his man, he had helped him many times and worked tirelessly.
To put it bluntly, he had been a beast of burden.
Now that Jiang Jiancheng was in trouble, he couldn't just stand by.
Without thinking much, he asked, "Where is your dad now?"
Jiang Li: "He went to the company."
"Alright, I'll go over now."
Chen Nan immediately drove his Mercedes-Benz G-Class to the Jiang Corporation.
At this moment, Jiang Jiancheng had already been beaten to a pulp.
His face was swollen like a pig's head.
And sitting at his desk was a middle-aged man in his forties, with thick eyebrows and small eyes, looking a bit sinister.
He exuded the aura of a Qi Refining stage level two cultivator.
Besides him, there were also two Grandmaster level experts.
Seeing Chen Nan appear, the middle-aged man said coldly, "If you don't want to die, then get lost!"
He thought Chen Nan was just an employee of Jiang Corporation.
Then he looked at Jiang Jiancheng and said indifferently, "Mr. Jiang, the richest man, you must know that wealth is just external possessions, you can't take it with you when you die. Are you sure you want to give up your life for these things?"
Jiang Jiancheng was terrified, but when he saw Chen Nan appear, he grinned and said, "You are all going to die soon, yes, you are going to die soon!"
Du Xiu snorted heavily, "Who can kill me?"
"How difficult is it to kill you?"
Chen Nan unleashed a palm strike.
The terrifying true qi sent Du Xiu flying, spitting blood, his eyes filled with terror.
But Du Xiu reacted extremely quickly, and with a plop, he knelt on the ground: "Junior has eyes but failed to recognize a true master. I beg senior to be magnanimous and spare my life!"
As a Qi Refining stage level two expert, Du Xiu knew how terrifying Chen Nan was. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been defeated so utterly.
So.
Is it shameful to kneel before an expert?
No!
This is called knowing when to yield!
Chen Nan's eyes were filled with killing intent: "Who are you? Why do you bully the weak?"
At first, he thought the other party was an expert who had escaped from hell, but now it seemed things were not as he imagined.
There shouldn't be such ants in hell, right?
Du Xiu quickly said, "Reporting to senior, junior Du Xiu, is a disciple of Puyang Cave, Zhongnan Mountain. I heard that Mr. Jiang is the richest man in Jizhou, so I wanted to borrow some money from him!"
"Still dare to lie?"
Chen Nan erupted with a powerful rage: "The cultivators of Zhongnan Mountain live in seclusion, focusing on cultivating the Tao, how could they do such things as bullying the weak?"
"Do you really think I dare not kill you?"
"Senior, junior is not lying, truly not lying!" Du Xiu was almost scared to death: "Actually, junior doesn't want to leave Zhongnan Mountain, but... but two mysterious powerhouses descended upon Zhongnan Mountain, intending to subdue all forces and make everyone work for them."
"I thought it would be better to return to the mortal world than this. This matter is absolutely true. If I lie even a single word, may Du Xiu be struck by lightning and die a horrible death!"
"No need for such trouble, you just die!"
Chen Nan killed him with a palm strike.
Regardless of whether what he said was true or false, just the fact that he bullied the weak and severely injured Jiang Jiancheng was unforgivable!
"Senior, spare my life, senior, spare my life!"
The two Grandmaster realm experts were terrified and knelt down begging for mercy. They never expected that Chen Nan would kill Du Xiu, who they considered a super expert, just like that.
"Tell me, what exactly happened to Zhongnan Mountain?" Chen Nan's face was grim.
Zhongnan Mountain held some significance in his heart, after all, there was a woman who cared about him there.
"Senior, Senior Du spoke the truth. Indeed, two mysterious powerhouses descended upon Zhongnan Mountain. Their methods were cruel, and they would kill anyone who disobeyed directly."
"Of course, they were a bit gentler towards women."
"But if a woman fell into their hands, the outcome... would be worse than death!"
Chen Nan asked in a low voice, "Are those two very powerful?"
One of the middle-aged men said, "I don't know. I only heard that they easily flattened Red Cloud Peak."
Chen Nan's heart trembled.
He had stayed in Fire Cloud Cave for about a month.
He was very clear about the major forces in Zhongnan Mountain.
Red Cloud Peak was definitely the top force in Zhongnan Mountain.
It was rumored to have several Foundation Establishment stage experts.
Those two mysterious individuals could easily flatten Red Cloud Peak, which showed how powerful they were.
"Take this corpse and get lost. If I ever see you again, I will show no mercy!"
Chen Nan roared angrily.
"Thank you, senior, for sparing our lives, thank you, senior, for sparing our lives!"
The two men, carrying Du Xiu's body, quickly fled Jiang Jiancheng's office.
"Old Jiang, I have a few Little Returning Pills here, take them first." Chen Nan took out the pills for him. Fortunately, they were only superficial injuries and not serious.
Jiang Jiancheng quickly thanked him, "Thank you, Mr. Chen, for saving my life!"
Chen Nan waved his hand, "We don't need to say such things between us."
"Alright, I have other matters, I'll take my leave!"
Saying that, he also left the Jiang Corporation.
However.
His heart was restless for a long time.
"Who exactly are those two people?"
"Why are they trying to consolidate the forces of Zhongnan Mountain?"
"Could it be that they are the ones who escaped from hell that Zhongqiu mentioned?"
Chen Nan's brows furrowed.
The cultivation world was relatively peaceful at the moment, unless a great treasure appeared.
But they were consolidating the forces of Zhongnan Mountain with thunderous speed. This method alone was not something ordinary people could do.
This gave him a strong sense of unease.
Because he didn't know if Nangong Wan was still waiting for him.
If she had left Fire Cloud Cave, then so be it.
But the problem was.
If she was still on the mountain, could she escape unscathed?
At this moment.
Chen Nan's heart was in turmoil.
Completely in turmoil.
He already owed Nangong Wan a debt of gratitude, and now he was even more anxious.
He didn't want Nangong Wan to still be waiting for him on the mountain.
Without further thought, he dialed Li Mu's number: "Do the Guardians have any informants in Zhongnan Mountain?"
Li Mu: "Except for the eight top forces, we have secret agents in any cultivation force."
Chen Nan's heart lit up, and he quickly said, "Quick, have someone investigate information about Fire Cloud Cave on Taibai Peak. I want all information about Nangong Wan!"
"I'll call you back in ten minutes."
Chen Nan sat in the car, restless, even his palms started to sweat.
Ten minutes felt exceptionally long for him, like a century.
Finally.
Li Mu's call came through...
