Chapter 2030: Chapter 2116: Found Su Dieyi
Man Wuji and Jiang Yan were breathless upon witnessing this scene in the Void.
Wanxiang True Monarch had quite a reputation in the Hundred Clan Domain, especially in the ancient cities at the periphery, where he was the top expert among the Nine Great Cities.
With Wanxiang True Monarch having spoken, the situation became severe.
"Those who understand the times are outstanding talents. Chen Nan, rest assured, even if you stay in Wanxiang City, I will not treat you unfairly," Wanxiang True Monarch said without any reservation.
Might makes right, and in the Nine Cities, Wanxiang True Monarch’s word was law, with no one daring to contradict him.
Wei Yixiao’s mouth twisted bitterly. Even a fool could see that Wanxiang True Monarch was already inclining towards Chen Nan, offering him an olive branch.
He retained Chen Nan because of his talent, but having himself stay had an obvious purpose.
"Chen Nan, Su Dieyi is hard to find, and moreover, Su Qingqing is now in the hands of the Evil Emperor. Even if we find her, there’s nothing we can do, but Wanxiang True Monarch is a different matter. What if he..."
A Divine Thought from the Haotian Tower entered Chen Nan’s Sea of Consciousness, expressing its ideas.
"Small Tower, I understand your meaning. Wanxiang City Lord has already shown goodwill towards me, but he hopes to use me. This man’s schemes run deeper than Wei Yixiao’s, and combined with his great strength, staying by his side would be like bargaining with a tiger."
This Nine Dragons Ascension seems unlikely to go ahead; the best plan now is to resolve the dispute and leave Wanxiang City.
The next moment, Chen Nan and other experts soared out in an instant.
Among these experts were the several city lords, Wanxiang City, and other supreme beings participating in the Nine Dragons Ascension from various cities.
They came eagerly this time to prove themselves, not expecting an unexpected turn of events.
However, since the thief’s strength was below that of a King, they still had a chance to capture him and obtain the Treasure, which excited them immensely.
The eight supreme beings who came with Chen Nan from Yellow Wind City looked at their city lord, who had already submitted, and their expressions were grim. If the city lord was left behind, their fate would likely not be good either. If Wanxiang True Monarch sought to take over Yellow Wind City, a purge was inevitable, and they, as its guardians, would be the first in line.
"You eight come with me; we must find that woman," Wei Yixiao spoke, and in the next instant, he soared out.
It was midday, and there wasn’t much time before sunset; he was determined not to remain here.
"Damn, damn it all, if it weren’t for that kid Chen Nan, I wouldn’t be in this predicament. You all find a chance to help me kill Chen Nan,"
Wei Yixiao’s gaze turned sinister.
"City Lord, but... Chen Nan’s strength is too great, we might not be his match," one of the supreme beings hesitantly said.
"You useless fools, do you really think that kid has the power to defeat a Supreme King? If it weren’t for the sudden attack on Xiang Shisan by the Ancient Divine Worm, he would already be dead. Besides, he’s heavily injured now, so if you go for a sneak attack, you’re sure to succeed."
"Ever heard of spies?"
Wei Yixiao said with a calm smile, and the eight supreme beings immediately understood, hurriedly nodding their heads.
Lord Wei’s plan was roughly understood by them, and indeed, it could lead to a successful ambush.
Wei Yixiao wished he could immediately strike down and kill the supreme being who spoke, as a warning, but he held back.
This time, aside from Green Ji, it was these eight helpers he brought. If their morale faltered, he would be left alone, unable to undertake many actions himself.
Thinking of Green Ji, Wei Yixiao scanned with his Divine Sense, finding Green Ji was already gone without a trace.
"The women of the Sky Fox Clan, truly fickle and unfaithful, saw things going south and quickly ran. Forget it, I just used her as a plaything anyway," Wei Yixiao glanced into the distance.
Chen Nan reunited with Ye Yiyi and the Black Feathered Chicken.
Man Wuji and Jiang Yan also appeared beside him.
"Chen Nan, though Wanxiang True Monarch is difficult to provoke, if you decide to leave today, we will certainly assist you with all our might," Man Wuji and Jiang Yan spoke up.
Man Wuji kept Bai Yue’er’s instructions in mind, and Jiang Yan hadn’t truly fought in many years, longing for a satisfying battle; his valuation of Chen Nan was extremely high.
"No need for you predecessors to act hastily; when the time comes, I will inform you."
Chen Nan knew that if the Kings intervened, the situation would spiral out of control.
His visit to the Hundred Clan Domain this time was partly to search for Su Qingqing, but he hadn’t forgotten the mission regarding the Four Extremes World, dealing with the Heavenly People Clan.
The group flew towards Wanxiang City.
Compared to Yellow Wind City, Wanxiang City was even larger, though titled as a city, it was based on a Floating Island, much larger than Panlong Star, the Central Planet in the Mortal World Star Domain.
After a fifteen-minute flight, Chen Nan finally stopped at the foothills of a mountain.
"Chen Nan, why are we stopping? Chicken Lord was flying happily; we should fly to the outskirts, dig a hole and escape, then Wanxiang True Monarch won’t find us."
Black Feathered Chicken knew Chen Nan had many concerns, but at times like these, self-preservation was paramount, as the consequences would be dire if Wanxiang True Monarch decided to act against Chen Nan.
Chen Nan did not respond to Black Feathered Chicken but instead surveyed the surroundings, suddenly and softly speaking.
"Su Dieyi, if I’m not mistaken, you should have been following us this whole way. I can help you, however, you must answer me one question."
It was as if Chen Nan was speaking to the air.
Man Wuji and Jiang Yan remained silent, quietly observing the Void; they sensed something but couldn’t confirm it.
The next moment, a portal appeared on the Haotian Tower.
In a blink, it closed again.
"Small Tower, did Su Dieyi enter?" Chen Nan transmitted another Divine Thought inside.
"She’s heavily injured and recovering quickly inside the Fengtian Talisman; if she appears outside, Wanxiang True Monarch would certainly find her."
Haotian Tower said with a smile.
Su Dieyi’s voice entered Chen Nan’s ear: "Chen Nan, I know what you want to ask. I’ll tell you my father isn’t the kind of person you think he is, though I don’t understand why he captured your woman."
"You seem very confident, but how do you know this? As far as I know, your father easily escaped that day, taking advantage of the Fengtian Talisman."
Chen Nan snorted coldly, "Don’t say this matter has nothing to do with you."
Su Dieyi’s likely intention entering the Haotian Tower was self-preservation. Chen Nan had once entered the Fengtian Talisman’s interior and knew it required absorbing Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi to rapidly heal injuries. If the Fengtian Talisman absorbed Yuan Qi quickly, Wanxiang True Monarch might detect it.
Understanding this principle, Su Dieyi could hardly be unaware. Hence she entered the Haotian Tower’s interior; regardless of the reason, she entered, and Chen Nan no longer worried about her escape.
With Su Dieyi as a hostage, the Evil Emperor’s side couldn’t do anything rash. How could a father who doesn’t cherish his daughter entrust her with such a Treasure as the Fengtian Talisman?
"It has nothing to do with me; after he succeeded, he returned the Fengtian Talisman to me and communicated this, but did not explain the reason."
Su Dieyi’s temper flared, her demeanor unyielding despite being inside the Haotian Tower.
