"This cultivation level, who on earth are you!" Chen Dou scread in horror, only to find he couldn’t make a sound at all.
As a martial artist who had cultivated for nearly a thousand years, Chen Dou was not a foolish person and imdiately realized that the Mo Feng before him was not the Mo Feng he knew.
Chu Nan paid no attention to him. Under the suppression of his cultivation aura, Chen Dou was utterly unable to escape, and Chu Nan easily imprinted the enslavent mark into Chen Dou’s soul.
A few breaths later, as the aura dispersed, Chen Dou knelt on the ground with a face full of reverence and respect, saying, "Chen Dou greets Master. Only today did I realize the vastness of the Martial Dao through eting you. You are destined to reach the pinnacle of Martial Dao in the future!"
Listening to Chen Dou’s flattering words, Chu Nan was sowhat surprised, not having realized that Chen Dou was such a flatterer before.
"I ask you, who is the Hall Master supporting Zhuge Yun?" Chu Nan did not waste ti and directly questioned Chen Dou.
This ti, Chen Dou did not conceal anything and candidly told Chu Nan, "It is the Hall Master of the eighth hall, Withered Soul."
Chu Nan’s eyes widened, utterly not expecting that Withered Soul would ddle in the competition of the ninth hall’s Hall Master.
In fact, even though Chu Nan had the Demon Barrier Soul Breath Technique, he couldn’t help but be sowhat apprehensive of Withered Soul.
After all, the quality of Withered Soul’s soul had already reached the stage of sainthood, a domain completely different from the extraordinary.
Chu Nan initially wanted to use the line of Chen Dou to enslave Zhuge Yun and the Hall Master behind Zhuge Yun with the Soul Servant Technique, thereby strengthening his power in the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall.
However, upon learning that Withered Soul was behind Zhuge Yun, Chu Nan abandoned this idea.
With his current power, enslaving soone from the sixth level was not an issue, and he even dared to attempt the seventh level.
But when it ca to a soul that had reached the sainthood level, such as Withered Soul, Chu Nan lacked the courage.
Such a soul of sainthood level, with Chu Nan’s current strength and cultivation, the Soul Servant Technique would likely not be effective against such a figure.
"Tell everything about Withered Soul," Chu Nan, not knowing much about Withered Soul, could only rely on Chen Dou at the mont.
Chen Dou was also unreserved in his information, speaking respectfully to Chu Nan, "Master, the Hall Master of the eighth hall, Withered Soul, is a powerful martial artist of the seventh heaven. Though not the pinnacle of cultivation realm, his soul quality is reputed to be formidable."
"There’s a rumor that Withered Soul is a martial artist who existed before the separation of the two realms, and his lifespan is feared to be nearly ten thousand years, making him the oldest Hall Master in the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall."
Upon hearing this, Chu Nan was shocked. Could Withered Soul really be a martial artist who existed before the two realms separated?
The separation of the two realms occurred thousands of years ago. Today, people from that era have either left the Celestial Crossing Realm to step into a higher domain or have died completely.
Even for a ninth heaven martial artist, their lifespan ranges only between two to three thousand years—it is absolutely impossible to live for ten thousand years.
The Emperor Zhou of the Corpse Bone Mountain Range also barely survives using treasures—how did Withered Soul accomplish it?
As if knowing Chu Nan’s thoughts, Chen Dou spoke before being asked, "The soul of Hall Master Withered Soul is unparalleled in the world, as are his abilities in body possession."
"After the separation of the two realms, Hall Master Withered Soul survived until now through continuous body possession."
"There are even rumors that elsewhere in the Celestial Crossing Realm, there are clones of Withered Soul created through body possession, a secret well known throughout the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall."
Chu Nan’s expression turned grim. Powerful strength isn’t necessarily frightening; he has the True Martial Holy Hall. Given ti, he can enhance his cultivation to the ninth heaven; it was rely a matter of ti.
But the soul of that old man Withered Soul, reaching the sainthood level, was different. His abilities were extrely troubleso, and even if his physical body were destroyed, he could probably resurrect through his soul, making him a truly formidable opponent for Chu Nan.
He instantly decided that unless he could find a thod to deal with all of Withered Soul’s souls at once, he would not act directly against Withered Soul.
Chu Nan felt sowhat fortunate for subjugating Chen Dou, as prior to arriving here, he was quite covetous of Withered Soul’s soul.
One of the purposes of obtaining the Soul Servant Technique was to use this mark to enslave Withered Soul and acquire his sainthood-level soul power to aid his breakthrough.
But it seed now Withered Soul had too many thods, making it nearly impossible to achieve.
Only if he could possess genuine battle prowess of the seventh or even eighth heaven would he have a chance to control Withered Soul.
Thinking of this, Chu Nan imdiately ordered Chen Dou, "Monitor Zhuge Yun closely and strive to create an opportunity for to et him alone outside Desolate Ancient City. Do you understand?"
To act against a sixth heaven martial artist within Desolate Ancient City would undoubtedly create a massive disturbance.
Chu Nan needed to create an environnt far from Desolate Ancient City where even intense combat wouldn’t be noticed, so he could secretly enslave the strong figures of the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall without being discovered.
"As you command, Master!" Enslaved by Chu Nan, Chen Dou would not betray him even if it ant death.
Chu Nan nodded in satisfaction, then left Chen Dou’s place and walked towards the location of the Blood Demon Hall.
However, he’d hardly walked far when a familiar person blocked him.
"Mo Feng, don’t think that with the Vice Hall Master intervening just now, our matter is settled," Song Qi said, eyeing Chu Nan with hatred, his already restored arm raised.
Normally, even if soone accidentally stepped on his foot, Song Qi would cut off their foot in retaliation.
Whatever ans Chu Nan used to cut off one of his arms, even with soone backing and protecting him, Song Qi would not swallow this anger.
Not avenging an old grudge overnight was characteristic of Song Qi!
"Then what do you want?" Chu Nan’s gaze was icy. If not for Chen Dou’s presence, Song Qi would already be dead.
Not valuing his life, saved by chance, and still daring to stand out and shout.
Crack, crack, crack!
Song Qi clenched his fists, making a series of cracking sounds, showing a sinister look as he unleashed killing intent towards Chu Nan, saying, "You broke my arm, I’ll see you dead!"
Finishing his words, Song Qi charged out fiercely, like a tiger pouncing on its prey, looking grim and terrifying.
His Cloud Sea Realm level one cultivation erupted wildly, enough to crush any Divine Illumination Realm martial artist.
Unfortunately, the sad truth was, Song Qi was not facing an ordinary Divine Illumination Realm martial artist, but a fearso seventh heaven Cloud Sea Realm expert.
Incredible power that seed to create seven seas of clouds. Even if Chu Nan wasn’t a Cloud Sea Realm but had only shown his ninth level Divine Illumination Realm cultivation, he could easily kill Song Qi.
Splat!
Chu Nan casually pointed a sword finger, not a martial skill but a re focused outburst of spiritual power.
The brilliant sword light shot like a teor, directly piercing through the center of Song Qi’s forehead.
His enraged eyes dimd gradually, and the corpse in mid-air slowly fell to the ground. Yet before reaching the ground, his body was completely shredded by sword Qi, reduced to ashes that scattered with the wind...
Chu Nan was not afraid of killing in Desolate Ancient City, for in this place, weakness is the only sin, and as long as one was strong enough, even killing an elder would not be guilty!
The Desolate Ancient Holy Hall in the sky wouldn’t create a fuss over the death of a Cloud Sea Realm martial artist.
