Chapter 1404: Identity Exposed
Jiang Wuyue summoned the Treasure Tower and turned towards Ao Hao, blood still flowing from the wound on his chest, the erosion of the Power of Laws causing him constant and unbearable pain.
Yet he knew he absolutely could not retreat at this moment.
Master Canglan’s betrayal had already seriously damaged the vitality of the Righteous Alliance. If the news were to spread, who knows how many cultivators in the Righteous Alliance would lose heart.
That was the Great Elder of the Righteous Alliance, second only to the Alliance Hierarch, above thousands. If even he betrayed them, who wouldn’t?
The Righteous Alliance would collapse without attack, morale disintegrating. If they didn’t seize this opportunity today to completely eradicate the great threat of the Demon Clan, when the Demon Clan resurfaces, they would surely target the Righteous Alliance first.
Therefore, even though Jiang Wuyue’s heart was filled with hatred towards Master Canglan and Tu Wanshan, he still had to persevere. The war against the Demon Clan wasn’t over yet!
Tu Wanshan silently nodded. Setting aside everything else, Jiang Wuyue’s sense of responsibility alone was worthy of his utmost admiration.
But this battle wasn’t just about facing the Demon Clan; it was also the moment for the Demon Sect to fully overpower the Righteous Alliance. Master Canglan’s betrayal was just the beginning.
What happened in the sky drew little attention, as the battles between peak Nascent Soul Realm cultivators allowed them no proximity.
Chen Nan was completely unaware that Master Canglan, whom he was worried about, had already pledged allegiance to the Demon Sect and was currently dealing with the Demon Clan.
The opponents he chose were also clear, all Great Demons of the Ape Clan. Once a Great Demon was slain, the body would immediately be absorbed into his Blood Gourd.
The thought that these Demon Spirit Pills made from the Ape Clan Great Demons could greatly accelerate his Demon Ape Form made his heart race with excitement.
At that moment, he suddenly noticed a corpse from the Demon Clan falling from the sky, belonging to the Ape Clan, and it was a Nascent Soul Realm demon!
Chen Nan’s eyes instantly lit up: "I must obtain this corpse!"
Seeing countless demons and human cultivators blocking his path ahead, he gritted his teeth and summoned the Sword Intent he had been nurturing for less than half a month, integrating it into Sword Chenyuan.
"Get out of my way!"
With one slash, the astonishing Sword Intent transformed into a crescent-shaped sword light, sweeping across. Demons unable to dodge in time were torn apart the moment they came into contact with the sword light.
The fierce Sword Qi forced both human and demon cultivators to dodge, forcefully carving out a path amidst the chaotic battle.
Chen Nan stepped on the Seven Stars, his body suddenly turning into a bolt of lightning, following closely behind the sword light, finally passing through the battlefield and arriving before the corpse of the Ape Clan Demon King.
"I can hardly imagine how much the Demon Ape Form could improve once a Nascent Soul Realm Demon King is fashioned into a Demon Spirit Pill."
He was overjoyed, patting the Blood Gourd at his waist as a surge of Mana rolled out, drawing back the Demon King’s corpse.
However, transforming it into a Demon Spirit Pill wasn’t a simple matter, even for the Blood Gourd; it would take a long time.
Chen Nan, contented, prepared to seek more Ape Clan corpses to refine more Demon Spirit Pills, unaware that someone’s gaze had already fixed on him.
"Little runt, prepare to die!"
A furious shout like thunder made many demon and human cultivators look up, where they saw the enraged Master Canglan.
At this moment, the Power of Laws took the form of water, coiling around him in the shape of a True Dragon, making him look as if a deity had descended. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
He raised his hand and slammed down, the roaring sound of the Power of Laws deafening, as it fiercely charged towards Chen Nan below, opening its bloodthirsty maw.
Chen Nan’s heart jolted in shock, realizing he’d underestimated the danger while focusing on the Demon King’s corpse, neglecting Master Canglan.
He wanted to flee, but in the face of a peak Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, he was as insignificant as an ant, with space around him locked down, leaving him no escape.
"No choice, I’ll fight!"
Chen Nan’s Divine Sense subtly nudged the blade tip drifting within his Golden Core, as only the blade tip could tear the void to enable his escape.
But before he could summon the blade tip, two figures suddenly appeared in front of him, also manipulating the Power of Laws to clash fiercely with the descending Water Law.
Rumble!
Countless water droplets fell, making it seem as though a torrential rain descended on Dragon Fall Island, with the strong aftermath impacting Chen Nan like a heavy blow, causing him to spit blood and be thrown back.
In battles between Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, even the aftermath was something he couldn’t withstand.
"Black and White Impermanence, are you trying to stop me? I am now also part of the Demon Sect!"
Master Canglan, up in the sky, angrily shouted at the silhouettes blocking him, which stirred quite a sensation among the Righteous Alliance cultivators who heard it.
They all doubted their ears—how could the Great Elder of the Righteous Alliance become part of the Demon Sect?
A colossal panic ensued; if even the Great Elder of the Righteous Alliance could betray them, what was real anymore?
Many began to doubt the significance of this battle.
Zhao Qingxuan snorted coldly, muttering, "Traitor! Once I cultivate to Nascent Soul, I will definitely slay you!"
Hua Nongying gazed at Master Canglan’s figure in the sky, utterly astonished, momentarily frozen in place.
Master Canglan’s shout completely tore away the last shred of dignity. Engaged in a struggle with Ao Hao, Jiang Wuyue’s anger surged, causing him to spit a mouthful of blood.
"Haha, Jiang Wuyue, now you have your day, it seems heaven won’t let my Demon Clan die!" Ao Hao laughed loudly, his laughter thundering.
Jiang Wuyue clenched his teeth, directly summoning the Treasure Tower. The Treasure Tower kept growing, with golden runes densely covering each layer, ultimately transforming into what resembled a small mountain, harshly suppressing Ao Hao.
"Don’t even think about it! Today, your Demon Clan is doomed!"
...
In his body, Chen Nan’s Qi and blood churned, finally steadying his body, looking up at Master Canglan with deep-seated hatred: "Old Dog Canglan!"
Black and White Impermanence, the two elders, also looked somewhat battered. Given that their cultivation wasn’t as profound as Master Canglan’s, their joint effort to block a strike had left them injured.
The Great Elder of the Righteous Alliance was no mere reputation.
Master Canglan was still loudly questioning: "You are elders of the Demon Sect, and I am also a person of the Demon Sect, isn’t it right to kill Jue Mingzi, who is a prodigy of the Righteous Alliance?"
Black Impermanence shook his head: "We are not elders of the Demon Sect, so we only follow the orders of the Holy Daughter."
At this moment, Tu Susu had already landed beside Chen Nan, taking out Elixir Pills and feeding them to Chen Nan, while turning to look at Master Canglan.
"Hurt him, and you’re asking for death!"
Witnessing this, Master Canglan finally understood what was going on. He realized why the Demon Sect helped Chen Nan and not his disciples.
It turned out Chen Nan had long since connected with the Demon Sect Saintess, with far more influential relationships.
"So that’s it, so that’s it!"
"Jue Mingzi, you’ve hidden very well!"
Chen Nan fearlessly met his gaze: "Same to you, you’re not bad either."
