Chapter 777 Feiyan Mountain
He naturally felt a bit bored.
But as soon as his words fell, a powerful mental pressure suddenly struck, directly pinning him to the ground.
None of the Grandmaster Peak martial artists present could react in time!
Seeing this, Nan Zhu hurriedly extended his hand, "Wait!"
The previous sentence was an unconscious action by Nan Zhu. When Nan Zhu turned to look at the others, he immediately realized that not only the person who spoke, but all the martial artists except himself, were lying on the ground.
And all of this was just because the mysterious person had exerted a slight pressure with his mental power!
Once he understood this, Nan Zhu finally felt a trace of fear. He had never encountered such a terrifying martial artist.
It was a suffocating feeling. Even when facing Chen Yang, though Nan Zhu knew he couldn't defeat Chen Yang, he had never felt such dread.
The Celestial Venerable did not continue to act, but instead chuckled, "I have no intention of killing them, merely scaring them a little. After all, I have only just arrived in the southwest and have many personal matters to attend to. Killing them wantonly would also bring me considerable trouble."
"While I don't know what you hope to gain from me, there's one thing I must make clear: stop following me."
The Celestial Venerable had already sensed Nan Zhu's presence as soon as he disembarked from the plane.
His visit was merely to warn these people.
"Perhaps we'll meet again," the Celestial Venerable said. Although he was very interested in Nan Zhu, he had more important matters to attend to at the moment.
With that, he vanished.
The martial artists who had been lying on the ground instantly felt their bodies lighten.
When they managed to get back on their feet, not a single one spoke. Their faces were all etched with fear and shock.
It wasn't until two minutes later that someone reacted, looking at Nan Zhu blankly and asking with a trembling voice, "Who was that person just now? Since when has the Black Dragon Pavilion had such a powerful martial artist?"
Hearing this question, Nan Zhu revealed a wry smile. Looking at the spot where the mysterious person had disappeared, an answer already formed in Nan Zhu's mind.
There were occasional frictions between the several War Gods and the Black Dragon Pavilion. Nan Zhu did not know the full extent of the Black Dragon Pavilion's strongest forces, but he refused to believe that the person just now was a Grandmaster-level martial artist of the Black Dragon Pavilion.
If the Black Dragon Pavilion truly possessed such a powerful martial artist, they would have long ago assimilated the other organizations.
After a moment of thought, a name appeared in Nan Zhu's mind.
"The Celestial Venerable?" Nan Zhu whispered, then quickly rubbed his head.
Nan Zhu said to the martial artists around him, "What happened today is to remain unspoken. Everyone should return for now."
The reason Nan Zhu did not want them to discuss the day's events was his concern that news of this would spread and cause widespread panic among martial artists.
However, if someone could suppress so many Grandmaster Peak martial artists solely with their mental power, even if it were spoken of, few would likely believe it!
The people from the Southwest Prefecture also suffered a significant blow, and they all lowered their heads and left in silence.
The only ones remaining were Nan Zhu's generals.
Nan Zhu looked towards the airport not far away and said word for word, "Find all the Black Dragon Pavilion personnel in the southwest and clean them out from top to bottom."
After everyone had departed, Nan Zhu took out his phone and silently dialed a number.
Chen Yang had just landed and was arranging for three demonic beasts to go to the branch of the Heavenly Doctor Hall.
Seeing that it was Nan Zhu calling, he answered with some surprise, asking, "What is it? I'm busy!"
"If only you were here in the southwest just now. Do you know who I met?" Nan Zhu's voice was exceptionally steady, yet it was precisely this steadiness that made Chen Yang feel something was amiss.
Chen Yang knew Nan Zhu very well. Although Nan Zhu was introverted, he had a hidden playful side. For many years, his words carried a hint of sadness, but it could never conceal the spirit of the man.
This steady voice did not sound like Nan Zhu.
Chen Yang immediately asked, "What happened? Do you need me to come over now?"
Nan Zhu could only respond bitterly, "No need. The person has already left. However, they have redefined my perception of martial artists."
"I originally thought that the person the Black Dragon Pavilion had found was from their headquarters, but I never expected it to be the Celestial Venerable."
Upon hearing the last four words, Chen Yang's eyes widened instantly.
"What did you just say? Are you sure it was that guy, the Celestial Venerable?"
Hearing Chen Yang's doubt, Nan Zhu recounted everything that had happened to Chen Yang, word for word.
"I don't know what this guy is doing in the southwest! What do you think, could it be for..."
Both of them said in unison: "Feiyan Mountain!"
Nan Zhu let out a long breath and slowly said, "Indeed, you think so too. This guy is probably after something from Feiyan Mountain."
"However, even if you rush over now, there's no chance. This guy is incredibly fast; he might already be at Feiyan Mountain."
Chen Yang understood Nan Zhu's strength. The fact that Nan Zhu hadn't even made a move just now was sufficient proof of the Celestial Venerable's power.
As for the Celestial Venerable suppressing all the martial artists with his mental power, Chen Yang was not overly shocked.
If, as previously speculated, the Celestial Venerable, like Zhou Zeyao, Xu Qingquan, and others, were all from the ancient martial arts world, it was normal for them to possess some trump cards.
While Chen Yang couldn't suppress so many Grandmaster Peak martial artists at once, dealing with a few Grandmaster Peaks was certainly within his capabilities.
However, unlike Nan Zhu's suspicion of Feiyan Mountain, Chen Yang speculated that the Celestial Venerable's visit to the southwest, in addition to Feiyan Mountain, was likely also for the Tree Tomb and the Black Crow.
"If that's the case, then don't go."
"He didn't deliver a killing blow, so he's likely concerned about something. Don't think of him as too terrifying. I can also do things like suppressing martial artists with mental power. No one can break through Grandmaster Peak yet! I'm certain of that!"
Chen Yang could only offer Nan Zhu a few words of comfort. Going there now would be futile in stopping the Celestial Venerable.
However, Nan Zhu's expression turned sorrowful again, despite Chen Yang's attempts to console him.
"Are we just going to let this guy run rampant in the southwest?"
"No, I have to go to Feiyan Mountain. If anything happens to me, please remember to avenge me."
Chen Yang did not reply immediately but pondered for a moment before saying, "Don't go to Feiyan Mountain. Someone is already guarding there."
