Looking at Gu Nianxue's determined eyes, Song Zhen felt inexplicably flustered.

He could ignore Chu Nan and even Chen Kaiyang, but he couldn't turn a blind eye to Gu Nianxue. After all, she possessed the Cold Frost Battle Body, and her future status in the Ma family would certainly surpass his.

Song Zhen looked at Ma Liuniang, waiting for her decision.

Gu Qiu also stepped forward at this moment and said, "Ma Liuniang, and you little brat, it's impossible for you to harm my sect disciples on Cyan Mountain Sword Sect's territory!"

To Gu Qiu and Gu Nianxue, the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect that took them in at the beginning was their home, and they had no feelings for the Ma family.

However, Ma Liuniang scoffed at this and said, "Gu Qiu, you're just an old cripple now. What do you have to fight against me? Do you really think the Ma family is something you can contend with?"

Her eyes were full of disdain, and she even felt it would lower her status to make a move.

Just as Ma Liuniang's voice fell, over ten streaks of rainbow light soared into the sky outside the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect, exuding terrifying auras, like suns in the sky, enveloping the entire sect.

Chu Nan's pupils shrank as he barely sensed with his Spiritual Sense that all these people were Yang Wheel Martial Artists.

Even more frightening was that behind all those Yang Wheel Martial Artists, there was an even more terrifying figure, like an unshakable towering mountain.

In an instant, Chu Nan understood that this figure was not a Yang Wheel Martial Artist but someone in the Divine Illumination Realm.

A Divine Light Realm Martial Artist was a legendary existence in Cyan Mountain County. Who could oppose them here?

Obviously, Ma Liuniang was well-prepared this time and ready to start a war with the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect.

The terrifying aura of the Divine Light Realm Martial Artist pressed like a mountain on everyone, immobilizing them.

Both Gu Nianxue and Gu Qiu showed pale expressions, with a trace of despair in their eyes.

If it were only Yang Wheel Martial Artists, the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect could still fight to the death, but facing a Divine Illumination expert, they didn't even have the qualification to make a dying struggle.

The disciples and elders of the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect were all filled with panic. Ma Liuniang looked conceited; this was exactly the effect she wanted.

Chen Kaiyang's expression was uncertain. The situation had developed into a crisis capable of destroying the sect.

Seeing this scene, Song Zhen immediately became arrogant, staring at Chu Nan and laughing wildly, "Chu Nan, let's see how you, this ant, fight against me next."

"Cousin Nianxue is destined to go with me to the Imperial Capital!"

Ma Liuniang also looked at Chu Nan with disdain and said, "Chu Nan, just kill yourself already. Don't force me to do it personally."

From beginning to end, Ma Liuniang never regarded Chu Nan as someone worth noticing. To her, Chu Nan was just an ant she could easily crush.

Chu Nan clenched his fists, gritting his teeth in secret, looking at Ma Liuniang, Ma Ju, and Song Zhen. He deeply understood that weakness was the original sin.

It was the same back in the Chu family, and it was no different in the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect.

If the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect were strong enough, if he were strong enough, how could he let these bastards flaunt their power here?

He was angry, he was unwilling, he wanted to fight to the death, but facing such a huge difference in power, Chu Nan understood that no matter how he resisted, he would just be a moth to a flame.

But Chu Nan still didn't want to wait for death. Even if it meant dying, he wanted to bite off a piece of the enemy!

Chen Kaiyang looked at Chu Nan with a hint of reluctance, for Chu Nan was the hope of the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect's rise, and he couldn't allow any harm to come to him. But if he didn't agree, the sect would surely perish.

Just as Chen Kaiyang was struggling to decide whether to sacrifice himself to give Chu Nan and the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect a chance at survival, Gu Qiu spoke decisively.

"Sect Leader, you don't have to trouble yourself and the sect for our sake."

Chen Kaiyang's heart trembled slightly, and he sighed complexly, "Gu Qiu, why put yourself in such a difficult position..."

Gu Qiu also sighed deeply. He couldn't bear to see the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect destroyed, so he looked at Ma Liuniang and said, "Ma Liuniang, I agree to let Nianxue return to the Ma family."

Upon hearing this, Ma Liuniang's face immediately showed joy as she said, "Is that true!"

Gu Qiu nodded. This was the only way to save Chu Nan and the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect. Since he had caused the issue, he needed to resolve it.

"Returning is fine, but I have two conditions. First, the Ma family cannot harm anyone from the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect, including Chu Nan. Second, I must return to the Ma family with Nianxue. I can't trust sending her back alone."

"If you don't agree, I'll directly cripple Nianxue's Martial Vein and foil all your plans."

Gu Nianxue also firmly said, "I respect my father's choice!"

Ma Liuniang showed a contemplative look. The most important thing for her was Gu Nianxue. As long as she returned to the Ma family, some small requests could be accommodated.

The Cyan Mountain Sword Sect and Chu Nan were ants in her eyes. Why would a strong person care about the life and death of ants?

After thinking it through, Ma Liuniang nodded and said, "Fine, as long as Nianxue returns to the Ma family, I accept your conditions."

Song Zhen's expression changed, looking at Ma Liuniang and trying to say something, but he didn't. He still didn't want to let Chu Nan go.

However, things had reached this point. He knew ensuring Gu Nianxue's safe return to the Ma family was the most important thing, and all other matters had to take a back seat.

So Song Zhen glared at Chu Nan with hatred and said, "Chu Nan, you, this ant, are only fit to eke out a living in this godforsaken place."

"If I encounter you outside Cyan Mountain County, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

But Chu Nan completely ignored Song Zhen. He looked at Gu Nianxue with a complex expression.

For some reason, he really didn't want Gu Nianxue to leave with Ma Liuniang, but now he knew he couldn't stop it.

This feeling of powerlessness was extremely painful, just like when he was persecuted by Chu Han and could do nothing.

Gu Nianxue also looked at Chu Nan, somewhat mournful, "Chu Nan, our paths part here. Farewell, until fate allows us to meet again."

Chu Nan didn't hear these words but couldn't help impulsively saying, "Gu Nianxue, remember my words; I'll surely come to the Imperial Capital one day. You must wait for me!"

Seeing Chu Nan's unwavering eyes, Gu Nianxue felt warmth in her heart, and she couldn't help but smile gently and said, "Alright, I'll remember your words."

Ma Liuniang frowned slightly upon seeing this scene. She saw something unusual in the eyes of Chu Nan and Gu Nianxue.

Thinking of this, Ma Liuniang immediately said to Chu Nan, "A frog in a well can't comprehend the vastness of the Imperial Capital. Martial artists of your level are as numerous as the carp crossing the river in the Imperial Capital. Wanting to enter the Imperial Capital is nothing but wishful thinking."

Ma Liuniang wanted Chu Nan to give up, to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Song Zhen, unwilling to lose the chance to attack Chu Nan, quickly added, "Chu Nan, stop daydreaming; you have no right to set foot in the Imperial Capital."

Ma Ju even urged, "Grandson, stop wasting words with this ant. Take your cousin and leave quickly. In the future, you two should strengthen your bond."

"Nianxue, once you reach the Imperial Capital, you'll see how outstanding your cousin Song Zhen is."

Song Zhen nodded secretly, releasing his Yang Wheel second-level cultivation to gain credibility, causing the martial artists of the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect to show reverence.

But Gu Nianxue paid no attention to Song Zhen. Seeing this, Chu Nan sneered and said, "Thirty years old, at Yang Wheel, if all the martial artists in the Imperial Capital are like you, why would I, Chu Nan, fear going there!"

"Yang Wheel two levels, is that impressive?"
