Flames surged, fiery flames burning the sky.

Hua Xian'er unleashed a fire magic attack, sweeping across, and the formation set up by the Sky Sword Sect disciples disintegrated in an instant. Many disciples were incinerated into ashes on the spot.

Even the Sect Leader Fang Jingshan, along with several elders with higher cultivation, suffered severe injuries, their skin splitting as they were blasted backward.

"All of this, you old thieves brought upon yourselves!"

Hua Xian'er surveyed the crowd of Sky Sword Sect members, her eyes filled with killing intent so intense it seemed to have materialized.

Although she initially claimed she would destroy the Sky Sword Sect, in reality, she was merely trying to scare them off, hoping they would back down and release her grandfather. After all, she had promised Chen Nan not to make things difficult for the Sky Sword Sect.

However, now the Sky Sword Sect has pierced her grandfather's scapula, rendering his martial arts nearly useless, and only then did she truly resolve to kill.

Chen Nan did not intervene earlier because even he felt that the Sky Sword Sect was in the wrong. Putting himself in Hua Xian'er's shoes, if his roles were reversed, he would undoubtedly seek revenge and redress.

Who could endure such a deep hatred when a beloved one's scapula was pierced?

Everyone from the Sky Sword Sect, including Fang Jingshan, looked to Chen Nan, beseeching for help. The power Hua Xian'er displayed was something they couldn't possibly resist.

However, Chen Nan turned his head away.

His intentions were clear: you face the consequences of your own wrongdoings. I can't intervene in this matter.

Gongsun Yudie, anxious, quickly grabbed Chen Nan's arm and pleaded, "Chen Nan, please help me. Only you can help me now."

Chen Nan turned his head and said to Fang Jingshan, "Did I not say back then to treat Elder Hua well? I don't know the rights and wrongs of your past grudges, but this time, you guys have indeed gone too far."

If not for Gongsun Yudie's presence, Chen Nan would have probably turned and left.

The Sky Sword Sect has always prided itself as a righteous sect, but their actions this time are no different from the wicked. Piercing a martial artist's scapula is as cruel as cutting off a man's genitals.

For a martial artist, martial arts are everything. Without them, it's like losing faith and support.

"Xian'er, kill them quickly!"

Hua Kuangdao glared at the Sky Sword Sect members, his eyes filled with hatred.

"Don't worry, grandpa. I will definitely avenge this." Hua Xian'er, her tone firm, chanted a spell to activate her magic power, slowly raising her magic wand.

Seeing that Chen Nan had no intention of helping, Gongsun Yudie knelt down abruptly: "Chen Nan, please, I beg you. This matter is indeed our fault, but the Sky Sword Sect is my home. I can't just watch it be destroyed."

At this moment, Hua Xian'er's attack was unleashed.

In one move, she crushed over twenty Sky Sword Sect disciples and killed an elder. Even Fang Jingshan, the most cultivated among them, was sent flying, crashing heavily onto the stone steps, spewing blood and losing half his life.

"Master!"

Gongsun Yudie shouted loudly.

Hua Xian'er raised her magic wand again, glaring at Fang Jingshan: "Old thing, pay the price for your actions!"

Seeing her about to strike, Gongsun Yudie's face changed drastically.

She drew a sword and held it to her neck, saying to Chen Nan, "If you don't save my master, I'll die right here in front of you!"

As she spoke, the blade had already cut the skin on her jade neck, and blood dripped down.

"Don't be foolish. I will save him!"

Chen Nan was anxious and, in a dilemma, thrust his palm into the air, scattering the magic power Hua Xian'er released.

Gongsun Yudie threw away the sword in her hand and ran to Fang Jingshan: "Master, how do you feel? Are you seriously hurt?"

Fang Jingshan shook his head: "Silly child, what are you doing? If I did something wrong, I should bear the consequences. It's just a pity that the thousand-year foundation of the Sky Sword Sect is ruined by my hands. When I'm gone, stay by Chen Nan's side. Only he can protect you."

"No, Master, you'll be fine."

Gongsun Yudie kept shaking her head, her tears soaking her cheeks. To her, who grew up in the Sky Sword Sect, her master was as important as a father.

Hua Xian'er looked at Chen Nan and said, "Even now, you still want to stop me?"

With Gongsun Yudie forcing her hand, Chen Nan had no choice.

He pointed at the corpses on the ground, saying, "Aren't the lives of so many people enough for you to vent your anger?"

Hua Xian'er said coldly, "I said I would level the Sky Sword Sect!"

Chen Nan shook his head and said, "Xian'er, stop. I don't want to fight you."

"Xian'er is something you can call?" Hua Xian'er sneered.

"Let's talk."

Chen Nan leaped into the air, flying towards the top of the mountain. He believed Hua Xian'er wouldn't attack the Sky Sword Sect while he was turned away.

Hua Xian'er was silent for a moment, waving her magic wand to set up a defensive magic array around them: "Grandpa, stay in the array and don't go out. I'll be right back."

With that, she flew to the mountaintop.

Here, they were a thousand meters apart from below, just the two of them.

Hua Xian'er faced away from Chen Nan: "If you're here to ask me to spare the Sky Sword Sect, then there's nothing to talk about."

"Please, don't make things difficult for me, okay?" Chen Nan said.

Hua Xian'er let out a cold laugh, turning to glare at Chen Nan, saying, "I'm making things difficult for you? What is there to be difficult about! In your eyes, I'm not even worth one percent of Gongsun Yudie's weight. Just listen to her and fight me, so why the pretense!"

"You know I don't want to fight you."

"If that's the case, then don't stop me." Hua Xian'er finished speaking and turned to leave.

Chen Nan hurried forward, grabbing her hand, shaking his head: "Do you really have to do this? This time, I'm asking you, okay? Please spare the Sky Sword Sect."

Hua Xian'er was silent for a moment, then turned to stare at him: "If I wanted to kill Gongsun Yudie, would you kill me?"

Chen Nan fell silent.

After a moment, he shook his head: "I don't want us to reach that point."

"So you're saying, if I touched her, you would fight me to the death without hesitation." Hua Xian'er's tone was surprisingly calm. She grasped a lock of her own hair, slicing it off and tossing it into the air, then turned to walk down: "Today, I'll let them go, but from now on, you and I are like this lock of hair. The next time we meet, I will definitely challenge you to a life or death duel to avenge my father's death."

At this moment, only she could understand the unspeakable sourness in her heart.

Chen Nan sighed and followed her down.

Hua Xian'er landed back on the ground and cast a Wind Soaring Technique on Hua Kuangdao.

Hua Kuangdao frowned, about to speak, but Hua Xian'er interjected: "Grandpa, revenge is not urgent. Today I've used too much energy, I'm feeling unwell, let's go back first."

Hua Kuangdao glanced at Chen Nan.

He couldn't help but realize that his granddaughter's sudden change of heart was definitely related to this young man.

After opening his mouth, he ultimately agreed with his granddaughter's decision.

Hua Kuangdao only knew that his son and grandson died in battle at Sky Sword Mountain, but he didn't know who was responsible. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so calm facing Chen Nan.
