Dashing Student Chapter 1407 1407: According to Plan

Although Luan Kong had closed his eyes, a colossal flying boat was produced, facilitating the Demon Clan's smooth passage to the depths of the Heavenly Cutting Abyss.

"Great Saint, what lies at the bottom of the Heavenly Cutting Abyss?" A young Luan bird approached Luan Kong, its voice soft and inquiring.

Luan Kong opened his eyes slightly, observing the little creature before him and recalling its constant presence, as if perpetually brimming with questions.

Yet, this time, the little bird was also heading towards the Heavenly Cutting Abyss.

"I know not. Some accounts speak of a desolate wasteland; others, a dead end. Those who have descended have never been seen again."

The young Luan bird chirped with a smile, "Then I shall venture down and see for myself. Upon my return, I will share with the Great Saint what truly lies beneath."

His words stirred a tender sentiment within Luan Kong, and even Jiang Wuyue and the others felt a twinge of regret.

Nevertheless, this matter involved the fate of two species. Should this battle be lost, the Human Clan would undoubtedly face increased suffering, compelling everyone to steel their resolve.

One by one, the demons boarded the flying boat, their minds a mixture of uncertainty and trepidation regarding the destiny that awaited them.

The flying boat reached its zenith above the Heavenly Cutting Abyss. A downward glance revealed an endless vista of desolation and solitude, as if they had arrived at the edge of the world, feeling utterly forsaken.

Ao Hao, his body heavily wounded, stepped onto the flying boat. He turned to face Luan Kong, his expression a complex tapestry of gratitude and resentment.

"As a Great Saint of the Demon Clan, I shall guide our people towards survival!"

His declaration resonated within the Heavenly Cutting Abyss, an oath etched into the very fabric of the place.

The flying boat shifted its course. A faint luminescence emanated from its hull, creating a barrier against the biting winds and the chilling gang qi within the abyss, before it resolutely plunged downwards.

Luan Kong immediately stepped forward, swiftly executing sealing techniques as his form began to rapidly diminish.

Wrinkles began to appear on his once handsome visage, his skin withered, his eyes clouded over. The once noble appearance was swiftly replaced by the decrepitude of age.

However, within his grasp, a disc empowered by the Law of Space grew increasingly radiant, exuding a cold aura akin to the glow of a bright moon.

With a gentle push, Luan Kong sent the disc flying above the Heavenly Cutting Abyss. It expanded rapidly, like a colossal net, poised to engulf the entire chasm.

All present understood that once this net descended, even if the demons managed to escape the Heavenly Cutting Abyss, they would be unable to breach the seal unless their cultivation base surpassed Luan Kong's.

Yet, at this critical juncture, no one foresaw Chen Nan, who had always been compliant, transforming into a streak of light and hurtling into the Heavenly Cutting Abyss at his utmost speed before the net could descend!

"Chen Nan!" Tu Susu reached out, but it was too late. Her pupils dilated in shock.

The cultivators in the Nascent Soul Realm who had coveted Chen Nan were utterly stunned. They yearned to retrieve him, but the sealing net had already been deployed, leaving them no chance.

"Damn it! Do you truly believe you can escape this manner? The Demon Clan resides below; they will not show you any mercy either!"

Chen Nan offered them a smile, revealing unnervingly white teeth, a determined glint in his eyes.

"Ha, even in death, I shall deny you any benefit."

With those final words, a torrent of destructive power surged within him, contorting his features in agony.

"No, don't!"

Witnessing this, Tu Susu made a desperate attempt to rush into the Heavenly Cutting Abyss but was forcefully held back by Tu Wanshan.

Under the astonished gazes of all onlookers, Chen Nan's body detonated with a resounding 'boom'.

He had committed self-annihilation right before their very eyes!

Several cultivators in the Nascent Soul Realm erupted in curses, "Insolent brat! You'd rather perish than let us have what we seek, how utterly despicable!"

"Vile wretch! What a colossal waste!"

Watching the potential key to their advancement into the Nascent Soul Realm vanish into nothingness was a pain far exceeding that of death.

No one had predicted Chen Nan would make such a choice, leading to mutual annihilation.

But beyond sighs and imprecations, they were powerless. None dared to venture into the Heavenly Cutting Abyss now, as Luan Kong's seal had finally closed, enshrouding it completely.

After completing the sealing ritual, Luan Kong appeared genuinely frail, perhaps revealing his true, depleted state.

"Now, can you finally feel at ease?"

Jiang Wuyue and Tu Wanshan remained silent, their focus fixed solely upon him.

"Ha, your caution is indeed admirable." Luan Kong shook his head with a sigh, "Rest assured, I am on the verge of death; you need harbor no further concerns regarding me."

"Depart swiftly. Once I perish, the spatial channel will collapse, and you will be unable to return, even if you wished to."

Cultivators of the Human Clan swiftly traversed the spatial rift, exiting the Heavenly Cutting Abyss. Jiang Wuyue and Tu Wanshan were the final ones to return.

Emerging from the spatial passage, they observed Luan Kong suspended motionlessly in the sky, his form gradually dissolving until he vanished completely, at which point the spatial rift sealed itself.

This Great Saint of the Demon Clan had selflessly embraced death to ensure the continuation of the demon lineage.

Tu Susu was so overcome with sorrow that she nearly collapsed. Her desolate state caused many cultivators in the Nascent Soul Realm to avert their gazes and sigh, lamenting the loss of a potentially great reward.

Before they could even begin to process Chen Nan's demise, cultivators from the Demon Sect abruptly launched assaults upon those of the Righteous Alliance. It was as though their actions had been meticulously prearranged, striking with unified force.

Master Canglan let out a malicious chuckle as he ripped off the head of a Righteous Alliance cultivator. Blood sprayed across his face, lending him the appearance of a fiend.

"Hahaha, perish, all of you!"

Tu Wanshan maintained a composed demeanor, while Jiang Wuyue fixed him with a look of pure malice. "Was this your scheme all along?"

"Your intention is not only to eradicate the Demon Clan but also the Righteous Alliance?"

Tu Wanshan gave a slow nod. "Precisely. Henceforth, the Demon Sect alone shall represent the East Sea. You have only yourselves to blame for your naivety in believing we would cooperate with you so readily."

"Shameless!"

Jiang Wuyue seethed with incandescent rage, experiencing a profundity of betrayal he had never before known—triply so today. First Master Canglan, then Chen Nan, and now, in rapid succession, the Demon Sect.

"Death! I shall see you all dead!"

Driven to the brink of madness, he directly invoked his Treasure Pagoda artifact, brutally crushing the cultivators below without distinction, indifferent to whether they were aligned with the Righteous Alliance or the Demon Sect.

Tu Wanshan observed his descent into madness, a subtle smile gracing his lips. Everything was unfolding precisely as he had orchestrated.

First, the Demon Clan would be eliminated, followed by the Righteous Alliance!

His only regret was that his daughter appeared genuinely distraught, consequently withdrawing from the battlefield.

"Alas, my child, I shall procure a more suitable partner for you in the future."
