Peerless Dragon Sovereign-Chapter 564: Cangyuan City

Abandoning the caravan, Chu Nan and Zhi Tianping raced towards Cangyuan City with Mo Feng.

The two of them did not reveal their strength as cultivators of the Ninth Heaven, all maintaining the speed of a Cloud Sea Realm Martial Artist.

In the unfamiliar southern desert, exposing their strength too early could easily attract the attention of powerful figures. It’s better to silently carry out the plan for now.

In less than half a day, a massive oasis appeared in front of Chu Nan.

In the middle of the oasis sat an ancient city, surrounded by villages, with bustling caravans on the main road, appearing prosperous and lively.

However, compared to the Qin Kingdom, Cangyuan City, even with Cloud Sea Realm experts guarding it, was just about the size of a Commandery City, perhaps even smaller than the capital of Qingxuan Province.

Chu Nan was not surprised by this, given that the southern desert is resource-poor and sparsely populated, naturally leading to smaller cities.

"What level has your father’s cultivation reached?" Chu Nan asked Mo Feng as they landed outside Cangyuan City.

Mo Feng did not dare to hide anything and said straight away, "Cloud Sea Realm... Third Stage."

As he answered, Mo Feng watched Chu Nan’s eyes, trying to see if there was any fear in them.

If Chu Nan’s eyes showed fear, it would indicate that his power was either at the Cloud Sea Realm Third Stage or far below it.

But the result disappointed Mo Feng greatly. Chu Nan looked at Zhi Tianping and said indifferently, "Cultivating to the Cloud Sea Realm in the southern desert is no easy feat."

Then he ordered Mo Feng again, "Take me to see him."

Mo Feng didn’t dare to disobey; he walked ahead, leading Chu Nan directly towards the City Lord’s Mansion.

Soon, the three arrived at the gate of the City Lord’s Mansion, and the guards immediately shouted, "Who is it?"

Mo Feng scolded, "You don’t even recognize me? Open the door quickly."

"Oh, it’s the young master. Please wait a moment," the guard recognized Mo Feng and obediently opened the mansion’s main gate.

Mo Feng then respectfully said to Chu Nan, "Please, both of you, come in. I’ll take you to see my father." 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

As the trio’s figures disappeared into the City Lord’s Mansion, the guard was puzzled all over, having never seen Mo Feng so respectful to outsiders before.

Soon, the three of them arrived at the residence of the City Lord.

Mo Feng’s father, Mo Cang, the City Lord of Cangyuan City, quickly noticed Mo Feng and the controlling presence of Chu Nan and Zhi Tianping.

With a bang, before Mo Feng could explain, Mo Cang kicked open the door furiously, shouting, "Who are you? Let go of my son!"

Chu Nan saw a muscular man with dark skin emerge, the aura of a Cloud Sea Realm Third Stage Martial Artist silently spreading, and a violent killing intent bursting from his eyes.

"Mo Cang, I want the quota in your hand to join the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall," Chu Nan stated his purpose in an uncompromising tone, "If you refuse, this City Lord’s Mansion will be left with no living soul today!"

Hearing this, Mo Cang was instantly furious, bursting into angry laughter, "Where did this kid come from? How dare he boast so shamelessly and cause trouble at my City Lord’s Mansion, die!"

The City Lord of Cangyuan City was also a reckless person; seeing his son being threatened, he immediately chose to attack.

The Cloud Sea Realm Cultivation erupted, turning into an invisible giant hand, punching towards Chu Nan.

Mo Feng was full of panic; if this punch landed, he wasn’t sure if Chu Nan would die, but he would certainly be dead!

"It seems you won’t behave until you taste some pain!" Chu Nan’s expression was cold and ruthless. Although Mo Cang was the City Lord, he allowed his son to plunder caravans and attempted to blood sacrifice martial artists.

Just this point alone was intolerable for Chu Nan, so he certainly wouldn’t be polite to Mo Cang.

"Kneel before me!"

With a single hand extended, an equally invisible giant hand swung down, the enormous palm covering the sky, instantly shattering Mo Cang’s spiritual power.

"What!"

Seeing the enormous palm, Mo Cang’s face involuntarily showed fear; he gathered his full strength to raise his hands in an attempt to resist, but it was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot!

Boom!

The entire City Lord’s Mansion shook, sending up dust straight into the sky.

When the dust cleared, Mo Cang lay on the ground, looking utterly defeated, with many of his bones and tendons broken, gravely injured.

Mo Feng looked at his father, full of fear; was the gap between them so significant that just a single slap rendered his father unable to fight?

"Now, can I have the quota in your hand?" Chu Nan said, looking down at Mo Cang.

At this moment, Mo Cang completely understood that he was no match for Chu Nan, so he pleaded, "Spare me, senior; spare me, senior. I will obediently hand over the quota to join the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall."

Realizing the vast difference in power, Mo Cang immediately begged for his life, willingly cooperating with Chu Nan.

Then he knelt on the ground, his face bitter, and said, "But this quota is not actually in my hands; it was given to me by the Blood Demon Hall Master under the Ninth Hall Master of the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall."

"If you want this quota, senior, I can arrange for you to talk to them..."

Mo Cang was full of smiles, afraid that Chu Nan would be unwilling to agree and take his anger out on him.

Chu Nan, however, was skeptical and said, "Talking is false; you want to stall for time, waiting for the Blood Demon Hall Master to come and kill me together, right?"

Hearing this, Mo Cang immediately showed a face full of terror and said, "I dare not; how could I do such a thing."

"How long until the Blood Demon Hall Master can arrive?" Chu Nan asked calmly. The cultivation of the Hall Masters of the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall was at most the Ninth Stage of the Cloud Sea Realm, not posing any significant threat.

Even if Mo Cang tried to play some tricks, Chu Nan wasn’t afraid.

Mo Cang raised five fingers and then said, "Five days, the Blood Demon Hall Master will be here in five days."

Chu Nan, however, shook his head and said, "Three days. I’ll give you only three days. If you delay a day, don’t expect anyone in this City Lord’s Mansion to stay alive."

Mo Cang shivered all over with fright, then nodded frantically, "Alright, in three days, I’ll find a way to have the Blood Demon Hall Master at the City Lord’s Mansion."

"For the next three days, I’ll host you in the mansion to entertain you."

After saying this, Mo Cang forced a smile on his face.

Chu Nan, without any delay, flew into the air with Zhi Tianping, and said mercilessly, "No need, I’ll come back in three days. If I don’t see the Blood Demon Hall Master, prepare to die."

Swoosh!

He casually sent out a Wind Blade, instantly turning a pavilion into dust.

Seeing this scene, Mo Cang and Mo Feng both showed fear on their faces, staring straight as Chu Nan and Zhi Tianping disappeared into the horizon.

It wasn’t until the two figures completely vanished that Mo Feng, feeling lingering fear, asked, "Father, do we really call the Blood Demon Hall Master to give this guy the quota?"

"Call, of course, we must call him," Mo Cang’s face was gloomy, then he sneered and said, "But it’s to have the Blood Demon Hall Master come and kill those two."

"Judging by their attire and means, they must be Martial Artists from the Qin Kingdom. Killing Cloud Sea Realm Martial Artists from the Qin Kingdom is a significant achievement in the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, making your entry into the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall even more secure."
