Chapter 2026: Chapter 2112: Showing Off Love Before the King
In his gaze, there seemed to be a sun, blazing and bright. Those powerful figures, most of whom were of a higher realm than him, gathered at the Nine Dragons Ascension, a grand event where ordinary Supremes had no qualifications to participate.
Among those stronger than him were not only the lords of the Nine Great Cities but also hidden powerhouses from various ancient cities.
It was as if Jiang Yan resided in seclusion in the Heavenly Food Pavilion of Yellow Wind City; similarly, many masters in other major cities only appeared during events like the Nine Dragons Ascension to seek talented successors.
"Chen Nan, are you insane? Xiang Shisan is a direct descendant of the Wanxiang City Lord. How dare you exploit a crisis for personal gain and kill him!"
Wei Yixiao did not see Chen Nan’s gaze. Watching Chen Nan’s back after the beheading, he gritted his teeth and decided to act preemptively. With Xiang Shisan’s death, the Wanxiang True Monarch would inevitably take his anger out on others. Wei Yixiao did not want to become the target of such a powerful figure on such a day.
After all, Chen Nan was his prey, just a prey. Wei Yixiao did not mind using him as cannon fodder.
"Chen Nan, even though you are the leader of our Yellow Wind City for this Nine Dragons Ascension, I can’t protect you after what you’ve done." Wei Yixiao remarked coldly, cursing inwardly: ’A pity for my two Six Infant Immortal Pills.’
He called out to the distant Wanxiang True Monarch, "Wanxiang City Lord, Chen Nan is yours to handle. Do whatever you want with him; I only hope you spare his life for the sake of our past relations."
The Wanxiang True Monarch said nothing, his eyes shifting around. Far above in the sky, several city lords couldn’t help but grumble to themselves, "Disgusting, hypocritical. How can there be someone like Wei Yixiao in this world, bringing shame to all city lords?"
Wei Yixiao’s intention was obvious: he had already decided to abandon this young man as a pawn.
Though Chen Nan gained an advantage by killing Xiang Shisan, the situation was clear-cut; Xiang Shisan was doomed regardless. Furthermore, those who dared to stir trouble on the head of an Ancient Divine Worm possessed a courage that these city lords simply lacked.
The Wanxiang True Monarch was the strongest among the Nine Cities. Even though these city lords admired Chen Nan’s talent, they remained silent for the time being.
Observing quietly was undoubtedly the best course of action at this moment.
"Snap..."
Suddenly, a crisp sound came from afar. At this critical life-and-death juncture, that Supreme Early Stage cultivator named Chen Nan was actually stretching his muscles and bones.
Whether it was the Wanxiang True Monarch or any other Supreme King in Wanxiang City, none of them could compare to Xiang Shisan.
"This kid is too arrogant. Does he really think the Ancient Divine Worm is his pet and that he killed Xiang Shisan?"
The Wutan City Lord, standing under one and a half meters tall, was a true dwarf. However, his body was muscular and he spoke with the air of an old man.
Although the Wutan City Lord was a dwarf and ranked last in strength among the Nine Cities, he was proficient in forging Ultimate Holy Weapons, which secured his position as a city lord.
His sarcastic tone stemmed from having a similar strength to Xiang Shisan, but his battle armor and Ultimate Holy Weapon had superior defensive power and attack power.
In times of adversity, with Xiang Shisan’s death, ranked lowest in the Nine Cities, he was naturally uncomfortable, wishing for Chen Nan to die immediately.
Chen Nan stretched his muscles and bones and then moved, appearing on the Black Feathered Chicken nearby.
Ye Yiyi had just been seriously injured, her face pale, with Divine Power almost depleted. The Black Feathered Chicken continuously harnessed the power of the Devil Core to help her recover, though it was merely a drop in the ocean.
"You useless chicken, let go of my junior sister and let me handle it!"
Despite being severely injured and only partially recovered, Chen Nan laughed heartily and tapped the Black Feathered Chicken on its head.
"Your chicken mother, you damned kid Chen! Do you have a death wish? Believe it or not, this chicken will fight you to the death?" The Black Feathered Chicken bristled with rage.
However, it was cunning and knew Chen Nan’s intentions. Seeing Ye Yiyi’s slight smile, it glared at Chen Nan, "Hurry up and go up!"
"You filthy chicken, what are you muttering about?"
Chen Nan rolled his eyes and with a wave of his hand, a Six Infant Divine Pill appeared.
"This... Isn’t this the Divine Pill that old Wei Yixiao gave you? Didn’t you eat it?" The Black Feathered Chicken’s eyes were filled with doubt, for it had clearly smelled the fragrance of the Six Infant Divine Pill back then.
Chen Nan had bitten down hard, and the subtle aroma could not have been misleading.
"Hehe, I had one Six Infant Divine Pill before and didn’t finish it. There were some remnants, which I wrapped within a Five Infant Immortal Pill to deceive old thief Wei."
With a surge of Divine Power, Chen Nan gave the Six Infant Divine Pill to Ye Yiyi.
"Senior Brother, your injuries aren’t lighter than mine. You should take the other pill too!" After consuming the Divine Pill, Ye Yiyi rapidly recovered her Primordial Qi, and the Black Feathered Chicken beside her couldn’t help but crow in comfort.
"Cock-a-doodle-doo! The chicken lord is the handsomest under Heaven; much more so than that brat Chen Nan."
Chen Nan watched the Black Feathered Chicken go crazy, his head full of black lines.
"Yiyi, I already ate that one. Hurry and eat up." Chen Nan waved his hand.
"You liar!"
Ye Yiyi grabbed Chen Nan’s hand, though she could not get angry with him, nor did she want to.
"Fine, I’ll eat..."
Chen Nan took out a Six Infant Immortal Pill, popped it into his mouth, and began munching noisily, seeming to enjoy its flavor.
"Senior Brother, you’re lying to me again..." Ye Yiyi’s eyes reddened slightly. She understood why Chen Nan acted this way; the Six Infant Immortal Pill was life-saving, and he thought of others before himself.
Countless Supremes and several Kings watched from afar, bemused.
Wei Yixiao’s face was even more awkward; he had now become a joke.
As the city lord of Yellow Wind City, he chastised Chen Nan, but Chen Nan paid no heed, flirting with his woman instead, completely ignoring him.
On the other side, despite showing great deference to the Wanxiang True Monarch and offering Chen Nan as a scapegoat, the other party said nothing, as if he hadn’t even heard Wei speak.
"This kid has a rare straightforwardness; his kind is scarce in the world. Despite being grievously injured, he doesn’t utter a complaint and boldly fulfills the grand words he previously boasted, risking extermination by the Ancient Divine Worm."
Beside the Qing Yi Supreme King, that super supreme finally showed a hint of emotion, speaking up.
Wei Yixiao’s expression turned ugly; though the Wanxiang True Monarch remained silent, he could see that many city lords were about to speak. Their eyes looked unusual when watching Chen Nan.
Like wolves spotting a lamb, their eyes gleamed green with excitement, undoubtedly seeing Chen Nan as a treasure!
