"These spirit stones are mine!"

For the first time, uncontrollable fury appeared in Huo Nianfang's eyes as she suddenly rushed towards Huo Jing.

She activated her cultivation and unleashed her War Body, astonishingly attempting to snatch something from a Cloud Sea Realm Martial Artist with her Divine Illumination Realm power!

Everything here immediately caught the attention of many people, who all showed disdain and shock.

"Dare to make a move on me?" Huo Jing was furious inside, thinking that someone from the Divine Illumination Realm dared to challenge a Cloud Sea, truly seeking death.

Seeing Huo Nianfang charging at him, Huo Jing waved his hand, forming an invisible force that struck Huo Nianfang.

Bam!

Huo Nianfang, who was in mid-air, was knocked to the ground, her body heavily hitting the earth.

Blood trickled from her nose and mouth.

By Huo Jing's side, a Cloud Sea Realm Level One Martial Artist said, "Elder Huo Jing, Huo Nianfang is merely an adopted daughter of our Huo family, yet dares to be so rude to you. I think it's better to kill her!"

Another Cloud Sea Realm Level One chimed in, "With Huo Mingxian not around, just take her bloodline; once the deed is done, what can she do?"

However, Huo Jing shook his head and said, "This woman can be suppressed, can be humiliated, but she must not be killed."

"If she dies by our hands, no one can protect us."

Huo Jing, being one of Huo Tao's direct line, naturally knew some secrets. Huo Mingxian didn't care how strong Huo Nianfang's cultivation was but cared very much about whether she lived or died.

If it was clear who killed Huo Nianfang, Huo Mingxian would undoubtedly use all her power to retaliate.

But even so, Huo Jing didn't intend to easily let Huo Nianfang go, he smiled coldly and said, "Huo Nianfang committed the crime of defying her superiors, a sin unforgivable by death. Given her young age, we will not pursue it, but the death penalty is excused or the most unforgivable."

"Huo Mountain, you are to carve the word 'guilt' on her face as a punishment."

A Martial Artist has means to ensure scars don't fade easily.

With this, everyone sighed at Huo Jing's viciousness.

Huo Nianfang, not only with outstanding talent but also one of the top ten beauties, had countless admirers in secret. Carving the word 'guilt' on her face and ruining her looks, Huo Nianfang might not dare to leave her house from then on!

"Yes, Elder Huo Jing!" Cloud Sea Realm Level One, the bulky Martial Artist Huo Mountain, responded with a cruel grin.

At this moment, Huo Nianfang was pinned to the ground by Huo Jing's invisible force, unable to move an inch, and could only watch as Huo Mountain approached her step by step with a dagger.

Huo Nianfang's eyes were bloodshot, trying several times to struggle but to no avail.

She couldn't understand why her life was so suffocating, clearly possessing impressive talent and unmatched beauty, yet being targeted everywhere she went.

The suppression and exclusion from the Huo family, the negligence from Huo Mingxian.

Time after time of hope followed by despair.

Currently being oppressed like a worthless bug by the three members of Huo Jing, there wasn't even a single person speaking up for her.

Facing such a predicament, Huo Nianfang wanted to die right now!

The massive body of Huo Mountain blocked the last glimpse of her sight, leaving only the chilling glare of the dagger unbearably piercing to Huo Nianfang's eyes.

"If Chu Nan weren't dead, would he stand up for me now?" Facing the impending humiliation, Huo Nianfang wasn't overly sad; instead, she thought back to the one person who was once willing to support her.

Thinking of this, the corners of Huo Nianfang's mouth couldn't help but curve into a bitter smile, knowing Chu Nan could never come back.

"Huo Nianfang, if you had the Huo family bloodline, you wouldn't have fallen to this."

"But unfortunately, you don't have the Huo family's bloodline..."

Huo Mountain sneered, slowly bringing the dagger towards Huo Nianfang's face, intending to carve a huge guilt mark on her.

In the distance, Huo Tao and the others showed no sign of stopping this; instead, Huo Tao's eyes even showed satisfaction. Since he couldn't touch Huo Mingxian, dealing with Huo Nianfang was a complete breeze.

As the blade was about to fall and Huo Nianfang even felt the coldness, a sword light suddenly flashed by, followed by an explosion of blood!

"Ah!" Huo Mountain screamed, the hand holding the dagger severed by an unknown force and thrown high into the air.

This change left everyone with unexpected expressions, exclaiming, "Who, who is it!"

Huo Mountain turned around angrily, "Who dares to ambush me? I'll kill him!"

Huo Jing's expression also turned grim. He couldn't imagine who would save Huo Nianfang at this moment.

His eyes swept around, finding no sign of Martial Artists making a move, but at this moment, a burst of exclamations arose from the crowd.

Following the direction of the sound, Huo Jing's gaze suddenly landed at the entrance of the Heaven-Shaking Secret Realm, where a figure was slowly walking out from the Secret Realm, fixing a cold gaze on them.

"Who dares harm Huo Nianfang, I will take his life!"

Chu Nan quickly walked out of the Heaven-Shaking Secret Realm. Seeing Huo Mountain about to carve Huo Nianfang's face, he hurriedly struck with his sword, slicing off Huo Mountain's hand.

As his words fell, his body was enveloped by countless winds and thunder, creating several residual shadows, reaching Huo Mountain at lightning speed.

Boom!

A punch like an iron hammer smashed into Huo Mountain, collapsing his chest and sending him flying like a projectile.

Then Chu Nan, with one hand, picked up Huo Nianfang, shattering Huo Jing's invisible hand with a sword, and glared sharply at Huo Jing, saying, "You really deserve to die!"

In Chu Nan's embrace, Huo Nianfang's head buzzed. She repeatedly closed her beautiful eyes and opened them again. Upon confirming it was really Chu Nan beside her, she couldn't help but exclaim, "Chu Nan, you aren't dead!"

This statement, to the ears of the Huo family people, was like a stone causing a thousand ripples.

Huo Jing's expression immediately became extremely serious.

Although Chu Nan was only at the Divine Illumination Realm, he was someone the Huo family had to kill!

It was thought he had hidden away or died in the Heaven-Shaking Secret Realm, never expecting him to show up voluntarily.

Seeing Chu Nan from afar, Huo Tao was slightly startled, and a hidden murderous intent surged in his heart, knowing things others did not.

He understood that Chu Nan's value wasn't as simple as it appeared!

But Huo Tao didn't intend to act personally. If he had to lower himself to deal with a Divine Illumination Realm, it might draw attention from the Zhou family and Royal Family.

"Chu Nan, my Huo family has been hunting you, and you dare show yourself so boldly, truly seeking death!" Huo Jing sneered, excitement appearing in his eyes.

If he could kill Chu Nan, it would be a great achievement!

Chu Nan glanced towards where the Spirit Corpse Sect was hiding, then withdrew his gaze, saying, "It's uncertain who will die yet!"

"Huo Nianfang is my... friend. You humiliate her like this, there must be a price." Chu Nan stared directly at Huo Jing, yelling, "Kneel and apologize, or... die!"

Once these words fell, extreme silence enveloped the surroundings of the Heaven-Shaking Secret Realm entrance, the sound of a pin dropping could be clearly heard.

After all, living so many years, it was the first time they had ever seen a Divine Illumination Realm Martial Artist threaten a Cloud Sea Realm, an unparalleled anecdote.
