"Why should I go after you?"

Chen Nan looked at Hua Xian'er in the sky and said, "Why do you wantonly kill the innocent?"

"I wantonly kill the innocent?" Hua Xian'er snorted coldly, pointing at the Sky Sword Sect people, saying, "These old fools are asking for death themselves, why should I be polite to them!"

Chen Nan intensified his tone: "Have you forgotten how you promised me that day by the Ningjiang River?"

"You just come at me accusingly, why don't you ask these old fools how they handled the matter!" Hua Xian'er waved her magic wand, pointed at Chen Nan, and said, "Since you see me as someone who doesn't keep promises, then there's no point in talking further. Today, I will destroy the Dingtian Sword Sect. If you want to interfere, draw your weapon and battle with me!"

Chen Nan shook his head and said, "You should know that's not what I mean."

"I don't care what you mean, if you don't trust me, why should I give you face? It's best for you to step aside, otherwise, don't blame me for turning against you."

After Hua Xian'er finished speaking, she waved her magic wand.

Suddenly, the ground trembled, and soil spikes broke through the stone tiles on the ground, stabbing upwards towards the elders of the Sky Sword Sect.

"Quick, dodge!" Chen Nan shouted to the crowd.

Hua Xian'er used Earth Magic to attack from below ground, and he couldn't stop it.

Although Chen Nan already warned them, the power gap between the Sky Sword Sect and Hua Xian'er was too significant. One elder's legs were crippled, and two were hit with blood and flew backwards, seriously injured.

"Stop!"

Chen Nan raised his hand and struck towards the sky, sending a Buddha Hand Seal at Hua Xian'er, interrupting her from launching a second attack.

Hua Xian'er's expression was full of disappointment as she pointed at Chen Nan and said, "For these stubborn old fools, you actually attacked me. In that case, I have nothing to say. Let's fight!"

"Why can't you explain to me what's going on?"

"You go ask those old fools yourself!" Hua Xian'er said coldly.

Chen Nan looked at the elders of the Sky Sword Sect.

The sect leader Fang Jingshan was silent, and an elder beside him said, "This Evil Woman is arrogant and disrespectful. Although our Sky Sword Sect is not a top-tier sect, we would never compromise under her threat!"

Chen Nan vaguely guessed something; perhaps Hua Xian'er was too forceful, and the Sky Sword Sect was too proud, leading to this conflict.

Looking at Hua Xian'er, Chen Nan said, "Are you even impatient to explain to me?"

"You don't believe me, why would I explain."

Though Hua Xian'er was talking pettily, she still explained after a moment: "Five days ago I came to demand someone, and they refused to hand over my grandfather. I gave them three days to consider, but after three days, they still responded coldly, so I yielded. I gave them enough time to consider, but my patience is limited. Today, if they don't hand over my grandfather, I'll make the Sky Sword Sect disappear from Huaxia!"

Chen Nan basically understood what had happened.

It must be that Hua Xian'er threatened the Sky Sword Sect to hand over Hua Kuangdao, but the sect wouldn't compromise out of pride.

Hence, the current situation arose.

From both sides, neither is wrong. Hua Xian'er is desperate to save her grandfather, maybe she spoke harshly, while the Sky Sword Sect, with a millennium inheritance, refuses to be threatened by a young woman, even at the risk of destruction, to protect their honor.

It's said that pride brings trouble, aptly described these people.

Chen Nan sighed, looked at sect leader Fang Jingshan, and said, "Elder Fang, Hua Xian'er is eager to save her grandfather, maybe her words were too strong. As a martial arts elder, don't take it to heart. After all, revenge never ends, better to avoid conflicts when possible. I ask you to give me face and release Elder Hua, turning hostility into peace, wouldn't that be wonderful?"

Fang Jingshan was silent for a moment, then shook his head: "Hua Kuangdao was captured by you, and it's up to you to decide his fate. But now, this Evil Woman has killed dozens of my Sky Sword Sect members, with blood flowing like a river. Though facing annihilation, how can we let her off so easily!"

Chen Nan shook his head and said, "Elder, you are mistaken. When her Desire Palace was destroyed, wasn't there also blood flowing like a river and countless disciples wounded and killed?"

"This..."

Fang Jingshan was silent for a moment, shook his head, and said, "The Desire Palace attacked us, the Sky Sword Sect. Their demise is their own fault, can't blame others."

"Elder, you can't speak like that. If the Desire Palace's destruction is their own doing, then now that the Sky Sword Sect holds Hua Kuangdao captive, Hua Xian'er fights to fulfill filial duty, it's not unreasonable killing. Friends or foes are a thought apart, I hope you consider carefully." Chen Nan said.

Fang Jingshan glanced at several elders, exchanged looks, and pointed at the corpses on the ground saying, "Out of respect for you, I can release Hua Kuangdao. But as the sect leader, I have a responsibility to protect everyone in the sect. They cannot die in vain, I want Hua Xian'er to kneel and bow before their bodies, wearing mourning clothes."

"This..."

Chen Nan was a bit troubled, but before he could speak—

"Old fool, you are asking for death!"

Hua Xian'er shouted coldly, casting a Fire Magic, sending a Fire Dragon roaring towards Fang Jingshan.

With Fang Jingshan's cultivation, he surely couldn't withstand it.

Chen Nan hurriedly intervened, launching a Chaos Sword Wave that shattered the Fire Dragon, looking at Hua Xian'er and said, "Why be so hasty."

"This old fool is stubborn and unreasonable, why bother talking to him! He wants me to mourn for his disciples, today I'll cut off his head to honor all the Desire Palace members who died at his hands."

Hua Xian'er was extremely forceful, with terrifying magic waves emanating from her.

She waved her magic wand, and suddenly a fierce wind arose. Gongsun Yudie descended from the main hall front stairway, and Hua Xian'er sent a Wind Magic towards her, trying to capture her.

Seeing this, Chen Nan's face changed dramatically, unsure if she had evil intentions, he threw a punch in response.

Hua Xian'er didn't use full force, she only wanted to use gentle Wind Element to capture Gongsun Yudie without intent to kill. Now with Chen Nan's punch coming, it instantly shattered her Wind Magic, the remaining Punching Power hitting her right shoulder, knocking her tens of meters away, her blood boiling.

"You!"

Hua Xian'er pointed at Chen Nan, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, feeling inexplicably sad.

For this person before her, she went against her will, laid aside the vengeance for her father, and even in his gravely injured state, risked everything to warm him with her body. But now, to protect another woman, he struck her with such force.

"I had no intention to harm her, yet you wish me death, Chen Nan, you... you..."
