Before Chu Nan could speak, Lin Yian couldn't help but curse: "You bitch, how dare you compare yourself to Chu Nan."

"Without the background of the Imperial Capital's strong race, what is Huo Lingjun? If you hadn't stolen my Red Phoenix Battle Body, you wouldn't even be as good as Zhan Guangyao."

"A bitch who only relies on her family background to flaunt power, dare to speak such big words."

Lin Yian's anger towards Huo Lingjun was deep-seated, and at this moment, she unleashed her insults without restraint.

Only Lin Feng was trembling with fear. To him, was Lin Yian not afraid of revenge from the Huo family?

The Huo family possesses Cloud Sea Realm Martial Artists. Any one of them could wipe out the Lin family completely.

Huo Lingjun's eyes widened with fury, glaring at Lin Yian: "Lin Yian, do you want your family to be eradicated?"

"Or are you thinking of offering up your restored Red Phoenix Battle Body to quell my anger?"

Chu Nan saw Huo Lingjun still stubbornly resisting and said: "Huo Lingjun, I'll give you a chance. If you return the Red Phoenix Battle Body to Lin Yian and beg me to accept you as a maid, I might consider sparing your life."

Chu Nan was fighting fire with fire.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yian laughed out loud with delight while Lin Feng nearly wet himself out of fear.

Huo Lingjun's face turned sinister, her eyes flaring: "Arrogant and ignorant fool, truly courting death!"

"If I weren't refining this inheritance, you would have been burned to ashes by my wrath long ago."

In fact, Huo Lingjun wasn't worried about Chu Nan attacking or stealing the inheritance because the altar itself was the strongest defense and can only accommodate one person.

Only if Huo Lingjun voluntarily leaves the altar or gains the inheritance can someone else climb onto the altar.

That's why she's so calm and even made bold claims.

At this moment, what Huo Lingjun needed to do was to refine; once she successfully refines the inheritance, everyone would be trapped.

Even with Chu Nan possessing a Divine Illumination Realm Ninth-level puppet.

Chu Nan fixed his gaze on Huo Lingjun and spoke slowly: "You wish to refine the inheritance; I shall disrupt your plans."

With that said, Chu Nan stepped forward towards the altar, intending to enter it to stop or steal Huo Lingjun's upcoming inheritance.

As he ascended the altar's steps, Chu Nan was within reach of Huo Lingjun. But just as he approached the stone man bound by chains, a golden light shield appeared, forcibly pushing Chu Nan back several steps, down the steps.

Seeing this, Huo Lingjun sneered and said: "The restrictions on the altar were crafted by a strong warrior above the Cloud Sea Realm; you don't have the power to break through it."

Chu Nan's eyes showed a hint of unwillingness, then he instructed the Sword Puppet: "Sword Puppet, attack the altar with full force and shatter the altar's restriction!"

"Yes!" The Sword Puppet received the command, then propelled the power of the energy stones to unleash a Divine Illumination Realm Ninth-level Cultivation.

It slashed at the altar, and the golden light shield emerged again.

Rumble!

The entire cavern trembled under the force of Divine Illumination Realm Ninth-level power, but the altar remained entirely unmoved under the protection of the light shield.

The Sword Puppet continued its frantic slashing, but regardless of its efforts, it couldn't break the light shield.

It wasn't until half a stick of incense passed, and nine energy stones were completely depleted, that the Sword Puppet finally ceased its movement.

Seeing this, Chu Nan slightly frowned, not expecting the light shield to be so firm, after half a stick of incense of continuous attacks by a Divine Illumination Realm Ninth-level puppet, it showed no signs of breaking.

After inserting another nine energy stones into the Sword Puppet, Chu Nan directly asked Kui Guang: "Sword Venerable Master, I can't break the light shield; the inheritance is so close, yet I can't touch it."

"Do you have any method to help me enter there and seize that stone man's inheritance?"

At present, apart from asking Kui Guang, Chu Nan had no other recourse.

Kui Guang did not disappoint Chu Nan's trust, he immediately replied: "This restriction was crafted by a Returning Unity Realm Martial Artist; not only you, even a Cloud Sea Realm Martial Artist would struggle to break it."

This reply extinguished Chu Nan's thought of having eight puppets merge to unleash a Cloud Sea Realm Cultivation to attack the light shield.

Then Kui Guang continued: "Considering your current ability, even if I told you the method to break the formation, you wouldn't be able to execute it."

"Sword Venerable Master, what should I do, let Huo Lingjun take the inheritance?" Chu Nan slightly furrowed his brow; even though Huo Lingjun was only Divine Illumination Realm Second-level, her background was profound, who knows what treasures she might carry.

If she obtains the inheritance and uses a treasure to escape, what if he couldn't catch up?

Kui Guang let out a laugh from Chu Nan's Sea of Consciousness and then said: "There is a way, but I'm not sure if you're willing to take the risk."

"What way?" Chu Nan asked eagerly.

Kui Guang spoke seriously: "Temporarily entrust your body to me; I'll help you enter the restriction and seize the inheritance!"

These words put Chu Nan in brief hesitation.

It was a major issue after all, involving his own body, although Chu Nan had great trust in Kui Guang, this was his own flesh; how could he easily let someone else control it?

Many old relics possess domineering and elusive methods to seize control of others' bodies.

So, Chu Nan's hesitation was understandable.

But soon, Chu Nan nodded: "Alright, Sword Venerable Master, then I'll count on you."

Kui Guang was powerful, hiding recently within Chu Nan's Sea of Consciousness, his power seemed to have recovered considerably; if he intended to seize Chu Nan's body, Chu Nan felt he wouldn't have any means to resist.

Rather than refusing and causing a rift between them, it would be better to trustfully hand over his body, thus enhancing mutual trust.

"Well, such gallantry, proves I judged you correctly!" Kui Guang laughed and said, "Next, I will fully control your Sea of Consciousness, using it to suppress your soul and control your body."

"Remember not to resist, any resistance might lead to failure."

Chu Nan nodded, then told Lin Yian and Lin Feng: "I've got a way to break the altar's restriction; stay here, Sword Puppet will protect you."

Lin Yian nodded and said: "Don't worry."

Lin Feng, however, worriedly said: "Brother Chu, you must succeed!"

Chu Nan nodded, then walked towards the altar again.

Below the altar, Huo Lingjun refining the stone man saw Chu Nan approaching once more, she frowned slightly but soon sneered: "Still trying, truly overestimating yourself."

"If it were me, I would've left and found a way to escape by now."

Thinking this, Huo Lingjun stopped paying attention to Chu Nan, her gaze shifted back onto the stone man.

"I've been refining this inheritance for seven days, nearly half under control; give me another ten days and the final inheritance will be in my grasp."

"The Red Phoenix Battle Body combined with this Returning Unity Realm Martial Artist's legacy."

"With these two in hand, when I return to the Imperial Capital, I will be the undisputed most powerful prodigy!"
