Roar～

Chu Nan held a sword in one hand and a tower in the other. Just as the old man was about to escape, the Dragon Slaughter Tower flew from his hand.

The old man was intent on fleeing. The power of the Celestial Fire Torrent was too strong; even he could barely withstand it. He feared that if he continued, he might meet an unexpected disaster.

So he decided to escape first and let the Divine Light Realm Martial Artist from his family take action later to thoroughly kill Chu Nan!

Just when the old man confidently thought he could escape, a series of roars sounded behind him, as if a sharp sword was about to stab his heart.

"What is that?" The old man turned to look and was scared out of his wits.

Rumble!

He saw a Golden Tower transforming into a streak of light approaching at an extremely fast speed, and as time passed, the tower seemed to grow larger and larger.

When it arrived above his head, it truly seemed to cover the sky and block the sun.

Seeing the Dragon Slaughter Tower catch up to the old man, Chu Nan shouted loudly, "Suppress for me!"

With his shout, the Dragon Slaughter Tower emitted a golden light, completely enveloping the old man.

Boom!

The old man was directly oppressed to the ground by this golden light. He opened his mouth in shock and fear, "What Spirit Martial is this that can unleash pressure comparable to a Divine Illumination Realm Martial Artist!"

Crack, crack!

Under the terrifying pressure, the old man's muscles and bones began to produce cracking sounds.

As the Dragon Slaughter Tower slowly descended, the pressure became increasingly strong.

Chu Nan slowly approached the Dragon Slaughter Tower and harshly questioned, "Old fellow, tell me, who else is hunting me?"

The old man, with bloodshot eyes, cursed, "Kid, you'd better let me go, or next time my family's Divine Illumination Realm Martial Artist will personally kill you!"

"Dare to threaten me?" Chu Nan sneered, manipulating the Dragon Slaughter Tower once more.

Rumble!

The Dragon Slaughter Tower descended again, and the old man howled in pain, feeling as if he was about to be crushed by this tower.

"Stop, stop!" The old man pleaded, "No one else is after you, let me go."

"I will return to the Zhang family and negotiate so that they won't harm you again."

Chu Nan ignored the old man's words, and upon getting his answer, immediately said, "Dragon Slaughter Tower, kill!"

Boom!

With Chu Nan's command, the Dragon Slaughter Tower abruptly smashed down.

The old man didn't even manage to scream before being smashed into a pile of flesh, leaving only a bloody mess on the ground.

With a single-handed motion, Chu Nan retrieved the Dragon Slaughter Tower, a strange light in his eyes as he remarked, "The power of this Dragon Slaughter Tower is incredibly formidable; even a Martial Artist of the ninth level of the Yang Wheel seems like a child in its face."

Chu Nan knew the Dragon Slaughter Tower was strong, but not this strong.

Easily slaying a ninth-level Yang Wheel Martial Artist; when he could control more of the Dragon Slaughter Tower's power in the future, couldn't he even suppress Divine Illumination Realm or even Cloud Sea Realm?

Carefully storing the Dragon Slaughter Tower, Chu Nan collected the storage bags of the three old men's storage bags, acquiring some Spirit Martial and fifteen yuan stones.

Yuan stones are treasures. To escape Zhang Mingxuan's attack range, he had used up quite a few with the Flowing Light Golden Crow Vehicle. But with these fifteen, Chu Nan now had a total of sixty yuan stones!

Throughout the Cyan Profound Mansion, besides a few families, Chu Nan believed no one had more yuan stones than him.

These sixty yuan stones were enough to exchange for even an inferior emperor-grade Spirit Martial.

After organizing everything, Chu Nan did not linger, quickly disappearing from the scene, heading toward the Cyan Profound Mansion.

But not long after Chu Nan left, a sneaky figure emerged from the chaotic battlefield, muttering, "Chu Nan actually killed a ninth-level Yang Wheel Martial Artist from our clan; this must be reported to the family."

With that, he took a direction that would not intersect with Chu Nan's and returned to the Cyan Profound Mansion.

...

In the blink of an eye, several days passed, and Chu Nan finally returned to the Cyan Profound Mansion.

He had been away for about a month, but not much had changed. Chu Nan went straight into the Cyan Profound Mansion to complete his task.

"This is the poison sac and poison fang from the Nine Yin Venom Spider." Chu Nan placed the organs harvested from the Nine Yin Venom Spider in front of the attendant responsible for task exchanges.

The attendant's eyes lit up, looking at Chu Nan with some amazement.

Slaying a Nine Yin Venom Spider is no easy feat, yet Chu Nan had succeeded.

Without much doubt, even if Chu Nan got help from others, the attendant had to acknowledge the proof and said, "Correct, these are indeed the poison fangs and sacs of the Nine Yin Venom Spider."

After storing the items, based on the task reward, Chu Nan gained another five thousand contribution points.

Five thousand contribution points is not a small amount; in the Cyan Profound Martial Academy, it is enough to exchange for a decent middle-grade Xuan-level Martial Skill in the Scripture Pavilion.

Chu Nan had just obtained the Ancestral Bloodline of the fire attribute and could exchange it for a fire attribute middle-grade Xuan-level Martial Skill to enhance his strength.

But unfortunately, good middle-grade Xuan-level Martial Skills are only available on the fourth floor of the Scripture Pavilion, accessible only to Martial Artists above the seventh level of the Yang Wheel.

Chu Nan's current realm was only the sixth level of the Yang Wheel, still a short distance from the seventh.

Chu Nan wasn't worried about this, with sixty yuan stones and the ability of the Dragon Slaughter Tower to increase his cultivation speed, he could reach the seventh level of the Yang Wheel within a month or two.

"It's been a long time since I've seen Zheng Yao and Jiang Yixing; I wonder how they are doing now?"

After all, they were fellow disciples. Chu Nan was quite concerned about them and went looking for Zheng Yao and Jiang Yixing after completing his task.

Arriving at Zheng Yao's door, he found it closed and, upon using his Spiritual Sense to check, found no one inside.

With no choice, Chu Nan turned to Jiang Yixing's courtyard, only to find it also tightly shut with no response to his knock.

This scene puzzled Chu Nan. Using his Spiritual Sense again, his face instantly changed color upon the results.

Bam!

He kicked open the courtyard door and found Jiang Yixing's room in utter disarray, filled with signs of destruction, and even dried blood on the floor.

"They're in trouble!" Chu Nan judged from the scent of the blood that it was Jiang Yixing's. "But who would target them first? Was it people from the Canglan Sect?"

Chu Nan clenched his fists. If it were people from the Canglan Sect, he would never forgive them!

Striding into the room, Chu Nan hoped to find clues about Jiang Yixing and Zheng Yao's whereabouts.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw an envelope on the table addressed to him: "To Chu Nan."

"For me?" Chu Nan frowned, quickly opening the letter. Seeing its contents, he was instantly furious.

The letter was from a disciple named Fang Sheng from the Cyan Profound Martial Academy. He belonged to the Cyan Profound Sect, and his cultivation had reached the ninth level of the Yang Wheel, making him one of the probable candidates to break through the Divine Illumination Realm in the Cyan Profound Martial Academy.

The letter requested Chu Nan to meet at Fang Sheng's residence; otherwise, Zheng Yao and Jiang Yixing would be crippled.

As for why there was no hint in the letter.

Chu Nan was puzzled. He knew nothing about this Fang Sheng and had never offended him.

Why had he targeted Chu Nan?
