Peerless Dragon Sovereign-Chapter 558: Seeing Hai Wujie Again

Lu Yao was hit hard by the Cyan Demon, and the injury she sustained might not be light.

After Chu Nan escaped from the crisis with the Cyan Demon, he immediately unleashed all his speed, extending his Spiritual Sense to search in all directions for Lu Yao’s figure.

About a hundred miles later, Chu Nan finally saw Lu Yao sitting cross-legged on the ground, surrounded by Yin Evil Qi.

At this moment, she looked extremely weak, completely lacking her previous spirited demeanor.

The Yin Evil Qi inside her body was very chaotic, her limbs twitching slightly, as if they were about to go out of control.

"Senior, how are you?"

Chu Nan arrived next to Lu Yao, inquiring with a face full of concern.

Lu Yao opened her eyes and slightly shook her head, saying, "The strike from the Cyan Demon was too terrifying. I’m already a dead person, and the current situation is not optimistic."

A purple light burst from between his eyebrows, and Chu Nan opened his Yin Evil Celestial Eye, saying, "Senior, I’ll help you suppress the Yin Evil Qi inside your body."

Just as Chu Nan was about to help Lu Yao heal, she shook her head, refusing by saying, "It’s useless; your cultivation is too weak, and the Yin Evil Celestial Eye offers me negligible help."

After a few breaths of silence, Lu Yao made a decision, saying, "My activities and strength require a large amount of Yin Evil Qi for support, and the strike from the Cyan Demon resulted in a massive depletion of the Yin Evil Qi in my body."

"I’ve decided to first return to Wanshi Mountain to replenish the Yin Evil Qi and seek you out once I recover."

When Chu Nan broke through to the Divine Illumination Realm, his bloodline aura caused many ancient corpses in Wanshi Mountain to awaken.

The strength of those Spirit Corpses is difficult to estimate, and even the current Chu Nan dares not easily venture in.

But for Lu Yao to heal, only the Yin Evil Qi of Wanshi Mountain can help her.

Even though Lu Yao’s departure would cause Chu Nan to lose significant support, he still firmly said, "Senior, alright."

"In that case, you should return to Wanshi Mountain first; when I return from the South Desert, I will seek you out."

Next, Chu Nan plans to head to the South Desert, enter the soon-to-open Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, and seize the treasure that can traverse the Endless Sea of Suffering.

Lu Yao nodded, then said, "From now on, I am alone, and you must be extremely careful."

"Don’t let some troublesome loose ends remain, lest they turn into long-term problems, understand?"

Chu Nan glanced subtly behind him and then assured Lu Yao in a calming voice, "Senior, rest assured, I understand."

Seeing that Chu Nan was confident, Lu Yao immediately flew into the air and soon disappeared over the horizon.

Watching Lu Yao leave, Chu Nan felt a bit of a sense of loss. In his heart, Lu Yao was a respected elder, and without her, he couldn’t have come this far.

It wasn’t until he couldn’t see any trace of Lu Yao that Chu Nan murmured, "Next, it’s time to deal with those loose ends."

With that said, Chu Nan first found Zhi Tianping, who had fled at the start of the battle, and then extended his Spiritual Sense, targeting a direction and suddenly pursued.

...

"Terrifying, too terrifying!"

At the edge of the Cyan Demon Mountain Range, a figure in a blood robe with a pale face suddenly revealed his true form.

His heart was pounding, his face filled with a panicked expression of having survived a catastrophe.

"Chu Nan is terrifying, that Spirit Corpse is terrifying, and most terrifying of all is that Cyan Demon. Who would have thought there’s a monster above the Ninth Heavenly Realm in the Celestial Crossing Realm."

"The First Hall Master instructed me to seize the opportunity to kill Chu Nan and take his Ancestral Bloodline, but now it seems, not to mention killing Chu Nan, just escaping is good luck for me!"

The blood-robed figure was none other than Hai Wujie, the instigator who orchestrated the bloodline plot against the Zhi family and the Ninth Hall Master of the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall.

After the plan against the Zhi family failed, in order to redeem himself, he followed the First Hall Master’s order to assassinate Chu Nan and seize the Ancestral Bloodline.

Since Chu Nan left Nanmo Province, he followed the whole way, looking for opportunities.

Initially, he was wary of Lu Yao and dared not reveal himself, only daring to hover quietly from afar to seek opportunities.

He originally planned to strike at the Spirit Corpse Sect, but didn’t expect Lu Yao to be inseparable.

Then, when Chu Nan arrived at the Imperial Capital, he also hid his identity and followed him in.

Upon arriving at the Imperial Capital, the situation surprised him further. Chu Nan’s cultivation advanced swiftly, not only gaining Lu Daochang’s protection but also possessing the terrifying strength of the Sixth Heavenly Realm!

This news plunged Hai Wujie into despair.

Until he learned that the Huo family and the Royal Family intended to ambush Chu Nan on his way to the Cyan Demon Mountain Range, he reignited his hope, planning to strike when both sides were weakened.

However, once again, Chu Nan’s strength astounded him, as neither the Huo family nor the Royal Family could handle him.

The appearance of the Cyan Demon drove Hai Wujie to utter despair. Now he had only one thought in his mind: escape.

Chu Nan was fated to die, and the Cyan Demon was something he couldn’t match, making the task impossible to complete.

"With the task failed, returning to the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall would definitely mean losing my position as the Ninth Hall Master, and at that time, my enemies likely wouldn’t spare me."

"Going back to the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall is a death sentence; I’d better hide in the Qin Kingdom and wait for an opportunity."

Once prestigiously known as the Ninth Hall Master of the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, now like a stray dog, the once-mighty Sixth Heavenly Realm master suddenly felt a sense of desolation with nowhere to belong.

Even so, his actions were never slow, and not until he escaped the Cyan Demon Mountain Range did he secretly let out a sigh of relief.

"If I can find a chance to join the Ancestor Sect and obtain their Primordial Demon Beast, perhaps I can redeem myself."

While Hai Wujie pondered his future, a cold voice suddenly sounded from behind him: "Hai Wujie, it’s been a long time~"

Hearing this cold voice, Hai Wujie was suddenly startled.

He turned his neck stiffly and saw an unbelievable scene; Chu Nan was standing perfectly fine in front of him.

"Chu Nan, you’re actually alive, how is this possible!" Hai Wujie screamed in disbelief, completely terrified.

In the face of the Cyan Demon, more frightening than even the First Hall Master of the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, Chu Nan managed to remain unscathed. Could he be immortal?

Chu Nan chuckled softly before saying, "Shouldn’t I be asking you why you’re here?"

At this moment, Zhi Tianping also interrupted, saying, "This is Hai Wujie, who intended to destroy our entire Zhi family, the Ninth Hall Master, he’s despicable!"

For Zhi Tianping, his hatred first lay with the Royal Family and the Strong Race, and next with the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, which deceived the Zhi family and sought to sacrifice them.

Now, seeing the instigator, how could he not harbor hatred in his heart?

If he weren’t limited to the Third Heavenly Realm, Zhi Tianping would have taken action himself long ago.

"I’ve been hiding so well, how did you ever discover me?" Ever since slipping into the Qin Kingdom, Hai Wujie hardly showed himself.

Even when he escaped, he did so silently, unbeknownst to even Huo Mingxian, so how could Chu Nan possibly know?
