Chapter 1050: Chapter 1048: Chrysalis Rebirth
The assassins from Yama Hall appeared without a sound, struck with impeccable timing, and wielded overwhelmingly powerful weapons.
This was a ticulously planned pursuit and assassination.
Although so were brought to chase down the assassin, the killer’s speed was too swift, their tactics too variable, especially their abilities in stealth and breath-concealing, which could be considered to be at the Peak.
Therefore, after a long pursuit, the assassin still managed to escape.
Afterwards, Drum Master and others investigated, discovering that the assassin had infiltrated the village long ago, just for this mont.
Though there was anger in their hearts, they also felt a deep chill at the assassination orchestrated by Yama Hall.
To have a killer organization with such enduring legacy, they indeed have unique attributes.
The news of Chen Nan’s assassination wasn’t widely known, the people of the Heavenly Border still believed Chen Nan and the new King Gu were on Gu God Mountain.
They wouldn’t accept that the faith they just regained had disappeared again.
Ah Yin and Chang Qing, after the incident, had remained on Gu God Mountain, never coming down, causing Drum Master and others to be deeply worried.
"Oh dear, even if Chen Nan is dead and King Gu is gone, life must go on, I’m really afraid they’re going to wear their bodies down," Drum Master worried out loud.
"Forget it, I’ll go persuade them,"
Drum Master sighed deeply, climbing Gu God Mountain alone, his gaze softened when he saw Ah Yin and Chang Qing kneeling with their backs to him.
He knew very well that his daughter and Ah Yin’s feelings for Chen Nan turned this blow heaviest on them.
"Qing’er, Ah Yin, don’t be too sad, if Chen Nan were still here, he wouldn’t want to see you like this..."
While persuading, he stepped forward, but suddenly paused.
Because he noticed Ah Yin and Chang Qing weren’t showing the expected sadness, instead, they seed hopeful.
"What is this?"
Chang Qing seed to snap out of a reverie, quickly pointing excitedly at the ground ahead, "Father, look!"
Looking in the direction she pointed, Drum Master saw so white silk on the ground, resembling a cocoon, with only the base left.
"What is this?"
"We don’t know," Ah Yin replied with a smile, "but after his death, these silk cocoons appeared."
A flash of insight crossed Drum Master’s mind, "Could it be..."
"We aren’t sure," Chang Qing smiled, "but Chen Nan’s little snake absorbed the Nine Tribulation Celestial Silkworm’s power, it seems normal for it to spin silk, right?"
Waves surged in Drum Master’s heart, if it can spin silk, doesn’t that an the little snake isn’t dead?
If the little snake isn’t dead, does that an Chen Nan isn’t dead either?
"I’ll find the other Elders to take a look!"
Unable to make up his mind, he imdiately planned to consult the other Elders.
But Ah Yin and Chang Qing refused in unison.
"Don’t inform them for now, I trust him."
Seeing his daughter and Ah Yin’s insistence, Drum Master nodded and agreed, "Alright then, I’ll temporarily prevent anyone from entering Gu God Mountain."
"But if there are any changes, you must notify !"
Chang Qing impatiently waved her hand, her eyes intently fixed on those cocoons, focused as if her gaze could make the cocoons multiply.
After Drum Master descended the mountain, he dismissed the cultivators at the base, even the Nascent Soul cultivators returned to their own villages.
Thick fog enveloped Gu God Mountain, and after people left, the mountain plunged into silence.
No matter how the environnt changed, Ah Yin and Chang Qing’s hope never wavered.
Moreover, their wait was not in vain, as ten days later, the cocoons indeed increased in number.
Three months later, a pristine cocoon appeared, standing like an egg on the ground.
Ah Yin and Chang Qing beca even more excited, convinced that Chen Nan was still alive.
If the forr Elder Council elders were present, they would imdiately recognize this cocoon.
Because every ti the Nine Tribulation Celestial Silkworm survived a tribulation, it would transform into such a cocoon, subsequently undergoing Chrysalis Rebirth.
Unfortunately, Ah Yin and Chang Qing focused solely on Chen Nan’s safety, forgetting their promise to Drum Master, leaving those outside Gu God Mountain unaware of the happenings atop the mountain.
A month went by, and Ah Yin and Chang Qing sat around the cocoon, faint smiles on their faces.
Because they could hear the rhythmic heartbeat from within the cocoon, growing stronger in intensity.
That day, a flurry of snowflakes suddenly descended from the sky.
Ah Yin held out her hand to catch a snowflake, which quickly lted in her palm.
A cold wind blew by, making her realize that winter had crept in without notice.
Thinking about it, Chen Nan had been at the Heavenly Border for just half a year, yet wrought such change; it sounded so unbelievable.
"Sister Chang Qing, when do you think he will wake up?"
Chang Qing coldly smiled, "Bad people never die easily; disasters last for millennia, Chen Nan is just such a disaster, wherever he goes, misfortune follows."
"So, he surely won’t die, he will wake up eventually."
Just as her words fell silent, a hand seal suddenly bulged from the cocoon, as if soone inside deliberately made it so.
"Chen Nan, is that you?"
Upon seeing the handprint, Chang Qing asked in surprise.
Ah Yin was also nervously waiting for a reply.
"Of course it’s !"
A familiar voice ca from the cocoon, then the hand pressed on the cocoon suddenly exerted force, tearing it open and revealing a jointed hand.
Gradually, the tear in the cocoon widened, and a naked, smoothly-skinned Chen Nan erged from within.
"Chen Nan!"
"Mister!"
Seeing the figure they had longed for day and night, both won rushed over, tumbling Chen Nan back onto the cocoon bed.
"Oh, Mister, you’re finally alive, I was worried to death!" Ah Yin sobbed, tears flowing, impossible to wipe away.
Chang Qing, however, snorted haughtily, pounding on Chen Nan’s chest with her small fist, "I knew you wouldn’t die!"
"Have you been here the whole ti?"
Though his consciousness had been engulfed in darkness, Chen Nan saw the snowflakes in the sky and understood much ti had passed.
"Yes, we’re scared sothing might happen to you,"
Ah Yin nodded earnestly.
An imdiate warmth spread within Chen Nan’s heart, he wrapped both won in his arms.
"Thank you for your hard work,"
"Since you know we’ve suffered, you should make it up to us!" Chang Qing said, cross-ard and haughty.
Chen Nan smirked mischievously, "Of course I’ll make it up to you."
He suddenly flipped over, pinning both won beneath him.
The shy Ah Yin covered her face, while Chang Qing, stubbornly unwilling to act coy, despite blushing, held her gaze firm on Chen Nan.
"Don’t get carried away, careful... Hey, what are you doing undressing... don’t..."
The sound of resistance gradually faded.
