Chapter 1004: Chapter 1003: The Pursuing Assassins Arrive
A rustling sound, Chang Qing finished dressing and looked at Chen Nan with a smile.
"I’m done dressing, you can turn around now."
"But are you sure you don’t want it? I’m still a virgin, you know."
Her face turned red as she said this, almost steaming, but she still tried to maintain her composure.
"No thanks, I’m not into everything."
Chen Nan replied irritably.
Chang Qing ground her teeth again, puzzled by how Chen Nan always managed to infuriate her with just a few words.
"I don’t care. Regardless, if you promised to save soone, you must do it!"
Chen Nan snorted coldly, "Just words out of thin air to make
save soone? There’s no such easy thing!"
"If you want
to save soone, what can you offer?"
Chang Qing knew she had to present sothing tempting to Chen Nan, so she bowed her head and pondered.
She recalled that not long ago, Chen Nan had asked her about the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects, but unfortunately, she truly had no idea, and there were none in the Heavenly Border.
Even if there were, people would keep it hidden, who would tell?
She looked up and sized up Chen Nan from top to bottom, left to right, and finally, her eyes lit up.
"I know now!"
Chen Nan asked indifferently, "What do you know?"
"You fool, you’re injured, aren’t you?" Instead of answering, Chang Qing asked.
"That’s right, so what?"
Chen Nan didn’t deny it, as there was no need to hide it.
Moreover, he often coughed, and if Chang Qing paid attention, she could see it.
"Let
guess," Chang Qing smiled slightly, "your injury was left by a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, right? And you stayed in Moon Tower Dong Village just to heal!"
With a little thought, one could figure out the answer.
As a physician, and an alchemist, if Chen Nan couldn’t heal the wound himself, it must have been left by a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator.
And an unhealable wound from a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator must be due to the Power of Laws!
"What exactly are you trying to say?"
"It’s simple." Chang Qing smugly glanced at Chen Nan, "As long as you’re willing to help, I can find soone to help remove the Power of Laws from your body."
"I do know a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, you know!"
Her words hit a vulnerable point for Chen Nan. If he could find a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator for assistance, why would he endure for half a year for nothing?
But just that alone wasn’t enough for Chen Nan to imdiately agree.
"Besides getting a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator to help, I also need Spirit Stones."
"A lot of Spirit Stones!"
"No problem!" Chang Qing agreed without hesitation, "I can prepare a hundred thousand low-grade Spirit Stones for you."
This amount was already substantial. Chen Nan did not haggle further.
Although a hundred thousand Spirit Stones would only sustain his cultivation for a re ten to twenty days, it was still an unexpected gain.
"Alright, when do we set off?"
Finally settling Chen Nan, Chang Qing was overjoyed.
"The sooner, the better. My clansn cannot be delayed."
"I’ll go prepare, and we’ll depart tomorrow."
"Alright."
Chen Nan nodded.
"Oh, as a reward for your help, I’ll tell you a secret."
"The reason I’ve been hunted is because I discovered they could cause a whole tribe to fall ill with the Immortal Epidemic!" Chang Qing’s tone was serious, not joking at all.
"What? The Immortal Epidemic is man-made?"
Chen Nan was taken aback, imdiately feeling that this matter was not simple.
Soone was deliberately spreading the Immortal Epidemic, there must be so unspeakable conspiracy, and if he could cure the Immortal Epidemic, wouldn’t he beco their target?
It seems unwittingly, he was drawn into a huge problem.
"Who are they?" Chen Nan asked.
If he was going to get involved, he first needed to know who the enemies were.
"I don’t know, I only know they are fugitives and evil cultivators from Heavenly Border, gathered by soone unknown." Chang Qing shook her head, "But they’re all dressed in black robes."
"Alright, I understand."
Chen Nan lowered his head, lost in thought, realizing he needed to be prepared.
Among those who chased Chang Qing before, there was a Golden Core Stage cultivator, indicating there were stronger people among them.
"Hey!"
Just as she reached the doorway, Chang Qing suddenly called out.
"Are you sure you want to let
off the hook that easily?"
Chen Nan frowned and looked over, why did it feel like Chang Qing was a bit reluctant?
An illusion, it must be an illusion!
"Bon voyage, I won’t see you off!"
Chen Nan sat down on the ground, ignoring Chang Qing.
"Dummy! Idiot! Fool! Jerk!"
Chang Qing ground her teeth, stomped her foot, opened the door and left, slamming the door heavily behind her.
...
At night, Chen Nan was cultivating in his room when he suddenly opened his eyes.
The wind blew into the room through the window, and there seed to be a different aura in the night.
It was... the sll of blood!
Chen Nan’s eyes shot open, he rushed out of the room and ca face to face with a black-robed man.
The black-robed man was standing there, a Gu insect flew out from a nearby room and landed on his shoulder.
And the Gu insect was stained with traces of blood.
In the distance, there were a few black silhouettes standing in different places, controlling Gu insects to kill people.
"Wake up!"
A roar like thunder woke everyone in the village. The first to rush out were Ah Yin and Chang Qing.
The mont they saw the black-robed n, they understood the truth of the situation.
Cries ca from so rooms.
"Mother..."
"Sister, wake up..."
"Help, soone help us!"
These were the people killed by the black-robed n.
Chen Nan was instantly furious, his figure rapidly enlarged, instantly assuming the "Heavenly Fox Form".
"I should have thought of it during the day, they would definitely follow us back here!"
"You’re truly despicable!"
He was a bit annoyed, knowing full well that since Chang Qing had learned the black-robed n’s secret, they would definitely send people to silence her.
Not to ntion they even targeted ordinary people, utterly inhumane!
The black-robed man was shocked to see Chen Nan, hurriedly controlling the Gu insects to attack Chen Nan, but all the Gu insects dropped to the ground, trembling, when they got within thirty feet of Chen Nan.
Chen Nan lunged forward like an arrow, the ground shattered beneath his feet, breezing through all the Gu insects, reaching the black-robed man, and with tightly clenched fist, punched.
Bang!
A heavy rumble echoed in the air, the black-robed man was punched in the head, his body flew horizontally, head burst, blood splattering everywhere.
By the ti he hit the ground, he was dead beyond doubt.
In the distance, Chang Qing had already engaged with a Golden Core Stage Third Layer cultivator, the situation was dire.
Her injuries hadn’t healed, her Gu insects were all dead, and her opponent’s cultivation surpassed hers, there was no hope of victory.
Chang Qing knew these people were attracted by her, feeling guilt ridden, she fought desperately.
Chen Nan glanced at the other black-robed people, their cultivation was at the peak of Foundation Establishnt, he breathed a sigh of relief, at least there was still a chance.
"Traitor, catch!"
He summoned the King of Ten Thousand Gu and tossed it to Chang Qing.
At least, as a Gu Master, with the King of Ten Thousand Gu, Chang Qing was invincible.
Imdiately, Chen Nan like a tiger released from its cage, pounced on the other black-robed people!
