"No, don’t kill , don’t kill !" Huo Feng, seeing Chu Nan escape, imdiately knelt down and begged for rcy, completely abandoning the dignity of soone from a great family.
Zhang Baii was so frightened that she almost wet herself, her eyes lost in despair, trembling uncontrollably.
"Not kill you? Tell , what reason do I have not to kill you, speak!" Chu Nan shouted sternly, his voice shaking Huo Feng to his core.
Huo Feng’s liver and gallbladder trembled with fear, and he hurriedly said, "I can be your servant, your slave, I can work like an ox or horse, I can..."
Chu Nan didn’t want to listen to Huo Feng’s nonsense and directly asked, "Tell , what are you and the Zhou family doing at Cyan Profound Mansion!"
The experts from the Huo and Zhou families had left Cyan Profound Mansion, which almost confird to Chu Nan that they had a very important mission.
Huo Feng, trembling with his lips, said, "If I cooperate with you, will you spare ?"
A Wind Blade then cut forth, severing Huo Feng’s leg, and Chu Nan said, "Speak, and there’s still a chance; stay silent, and only death awaits you. And I’ll make your death horrific, even worse than the woman I saw in prison just now."
"Tell , where exactly is Lin Yian, what did you co here for, who ca, how many are at Cloud Sea Realm."
Huo Feng’s body trembled, knowing Chu Nan would follow through with his threats. He said, "I’ll tell, I’ll tell!"
"Lin Yian was taken by the elders but hasn’t left Qingxuan Province yet. I can take you to find them."
"Our Huo family brought five direct descendants, over ten collateral descendants, and two elders at Cloud Sea Realm, both at the fifth level."
"I don’t know about the Zhou family, but it should be about the sa."
"They all went to Pingyuan County. I don’t have the clearance to know the exact reason, but it seems it involves so kind of ruins."
Chu Nan’s expression changed upon hearing Pingyuan County; instantly, he thought of one person!
Zhi Qingge!
Zhi Qingge said that their family’s Demon Blood ca from a Secret Realm at Ghost Cal Peak in Pingyuan County, which opens once every fifty years.
Each ti, it attracts a large number of powerful experts from the Qin Kingdom.
Zhi Qingge had recently arrived in Qingxuan Province, and by these calculations, that Secret Realm might be about to open.
The Huo and Zhou families coming to Qingxuan Province must be for that Secret Realm.
And Chu Nan also wanted sothing from that Secret Realm, which was the Ancestral Bloodline!
The Demon Blood within Zhi Qingge was, in fact, a form of Ancestral Bloodline, albeit very weak. Yet, the source that granted the Zhi family Demon Blood might be incredibly powerful.
The Ancestral Bloodline from Ghost Cal Peak is certainly several tis more potent than what he possesses, otherwise, it wouldn’t have cultivated such a powerful family.
"That’s all I know, as long as you spare my life, I definitely won’t spread word of your return." Huo Feng pleaded for rcy once more.
Chu Nan’s eyes turned cold, rcilessly saying, "Only the dead can keep my secrets."
Lin Yian’s whereabouts were already known; leaving him alive was only trouble.
The Sword Puppet’s blade ca down, reducing Huo Feng’s body to pulp.
Even in death, Huo Feng’s eyes were filled with unwillingness, never expecting Chu Nan to truly dare kill a martial artist of the Huo family.
Zhang Baii was scared to the point of wetting herself, trembling as she said, "Chu Nan, have you forgotten I’m your servant? If you spare , I’ll serve you eternally, I’ll do whatever you want."
"Anything?" Chu Nan asked.
A glimr of hope appeared in Zhang Baii’s eyes, and she approached Chu Nan, her garnts gradually loosening, coquettishly saying, "Yes, anything you ask..."
"I want you to die." Chu Nan turned cold again, and under Zhang Baii’s bewildered gaze, the Sword Puppet’s blade descended once more.
Zhang Baii’s beauty was shattered, turned into flesh and blood.
"Chu Nan, what do we do next?" Zheng Yao approached Chu Nan, her face pale as she spoke.
She had experienced too much in this ti, and even though she was out of danger, fear lingered in her eyes.
"Don’t worry." Chu Nan patted Zheng Yao’s shoulder and asked the Sword Puppet, "How long can the energy stone last on you?"
"Half an incense stick." the Sword Puppet replied in an emotionless tone.
Chu Nan asked again, "Is it enough to kill all the martial artists in this mansion?"
The Sword Puppet nodded and said, "Master, it’s more than sufficient."
With that affirmative response, Chu Nan nodded in satisfaction.
The Sword Puppet received the order and imdiately burst out of the prison, its terrifying pressure covering the entire mansion, Sword Qi sweeping the area like a dragon.
In the Cloud Sea Realm, with Li Kai in Cyan Profound Mansion’s Divine Illumination Realm ninth level, that strength was the peak.
The Sword Puppet traversed every direction of the mansion as if it were an unguarded place, easily obliterating countless martial artists with its Sword Qi, without any resistance.
Many didn’t even understand why a Puppet suddenly appeared and started killing them.
Yet, nearly no screams were heard, because under the Sword Puppet’s oppression, no one could leave the premises.
With its almost one-hit kill capability, the enemies couldn’t even scream before being dispatched,
Huo family martial artists t their ends one after another, like not long ago when they were the ones doing the killing in Cyan Profound Mansion.
In a short ti, the Mansion Master’s estate was littered with corpses, leaving only Chu Nan and Zheng Yao in sight.
"Now that’s cleaner." Chu Nan showcased a genuine smile for the first ti since arriving at the Mansion Master’s estate, causing Zheng Yao a slight unease.
Zheng Yao asked again, "Where do we head next?"
After pondering for a mont, Chu Nan made a decision, "Return to the Sect first, Cyan Mountain Sword Sect!"
"We’ll deal with the Zhang family’s matters later. I’m worried soone might seek at Cyan Mountain Sword Sect, which would trouble the Sect greatly."
He did not wish for the tragedy that struck the Lin family to be repeated at Cyan Mountain Sword Sect.
There was also sothing Chu Nan hadn’t told Zheng Yao.
When he executed the mission to slay the Nine Yin Venomous Spider, Chu Nan connected with Zhi Qingge, knowing she likely has a better understanding of the Ghost Cal Peak Secret Realm than anyone else, he recomnded she take refuge at the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect.
If no unexpected events have happened, Zhi Qingge should currently be at the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect.
His tily return could lead Zhi Qingge to Pingyuan County; if the Huo or Zhou families found her, it would indeed be troubleso.
Zheng Yao felt a stir within, knowing the appearance of the Huo and Zhou families had greatly disturbed Qingxuan Province, and she was genuinely worried about the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect and her family in Cyan Mountain County.
Resolute in their decision, Chu Nan left the Mansion Master’s estate with Zheng Yao, escaping under the cover of night, heading straight toward Cyan Mountain County.
The blood-soaked scene at the Mansion Master’s estate shocked the entire Cyan Profound Mansion the next day.
No one ever thought anyone would dare to blood-wash the Huo family’s martial artists in a small county like Cyan Profound Mansion. Such audacity!
But despite the shock from the previous extermination of the Lin family, at this mont, most martial artists in Cyan Profound Mansion felt an inexplicable satisfaction.
After all, when Lin Haoyang served as Mansion Master, he treated the city’s people well, and most held gratitude that couldn’t be expressed due to lack of power.
Now, with so many Huo family mbers killed, hearts were elated and curious about who might have done this.
So martial artists whom Chu Nan had asked for information inevitably recalled the young man in white.
The day he asked about information, that very night, the Huo family was blood-washed; could there be a necessary link between them?
Even though they fantasized, perhaps the truth would remain hidden forever.
