Dashing Student Chapter 1447 - 1442: Slaying the Personal Disciples

Within the Moon River Valley Sect, under the watchful eye of the Sect Leader, stood two prominent direct disciples. Both were formidable cultivators, having reached the sixth layer of the Golden Core Realm. Currently, their gazes were fixed upon Chen Nan with cold intensity.

Though they presented as a handsome man and a beautiful woman, their eyes betrayed a profound malice. It was evident that without Yun Ying present, they saw no need to maintain any pretense of civility.

"I fail to comprehend lofty ideals, but I find myself immensely curious as to your motivations for persistently targeting a young girl. She is, after all, utterly unaware of any wrongdoing."

Chen Nan's eyes gleamed with unrestrained mockery. He had abandoned all pretense. The fact that Moon River Valley had dispatched these two direct disciples signified their belief that they were sufficient to subdue him. This, in turn, presented him with a crucial opportunity for escape from Moon River Valley. Once his cultivation was fully restored, he vowed to return.

Jiang Caixian emitted a cold snort, drawing her treasured sword only half an inch from its sheath. "Even if you inform Yun Ying, what consequence would that bear? That girl is exceedingly naive. Not only will she dismiss your words, but she will also harbor resentment towards you, amplifying her suffering."

Lin Qingfeng, with a sigh, declared, "Since you are unwilling to be pragmatic, then... vanish!"

As his declaration echoed, the longsword in his hand was suddenly unsheathed, unleashing a sharp, azure sword aura that sliced through the air. It struck Chen Nan with immediate force.

The impact sent Chen Nan recoiling, a few drops of fresh blood scattering through the air. Yet, as he met the ground, he instantly sprang back to his feet, his form dissolving into a gust of wind as he made a swift escape into the distance.

Upon witnessing the sword aura, a memory flashed through his mind: the injured individual he had attended to on his initial day at the Medicine Hall. The wound was unmistakably caused by a sword, yet his companion had insisted it was the work of a demonic beast. It became clear that Lin Qingfeng was responsible for that injury, the sword aura matching precisely. It appeared Lin Qingfeng routinely patrolled the perimeter of the forbidden area, deterring any approach.

Through such tactics, he instilled a sense of dread concerning the forbidden area among the disciples.

"A true shame to have come to Moon River Valley with aspirations of obtaining the Taiyin, only to be forced to flee without even setting foot in the forbidden area..."

Chen Nan lamented silently, his speed accelerating. All Moon River Valley disciples who stood in his path were swept aside by his formidable mana.

"Oh? Hidden cultivation? It appears this individual infiltrated Moon River Valley with nefarious intent."

Lin Qingfeng's eyes narrowed slightly, his voice laced with ice. "Then simply kill him, how far could he possibly flee?" Jiang Caixian derisively scoffed and immediately gave chase.

Lin Qingfeng followed suit. They did not exhibit any eagerness to dispatch Chen Nan; rather, they appeared to be toying with their quarry, allowing Chen Nan to escape at their leisure.

Descending the imposing stone steps, Chen Nan burst forth. Moon River Valley seemed to place immense trust in its two direct disciples, as no guards were stationed outside the sect's bounds, permitting Chen Nan to exit unimpeded.

He dared not tarry, lest the elders of Moon River Valley be alerted. Thus, he flew a considerable distance into the distance, consciously refraining from utilizing his Thunder Power, fearing his pursuers might be unable to match his hastened pace if he did.

Consequently, within the confines of this pursuit, they swiftly moved beyond the territorial range of Moon River Valley.

"Hmph, I can endure this no longer!"

In pursuit, Lin Qingfeng observed Chen Nan's unyielding speed and, with a cold snort, intensified his own acceleration to close the gap and eliminate Chen Nan.

However, as Lin Qingfeng's speed increased, Chen Nan, who was ahead, surprisingly also accelerated, maintaining a consistent distance—neither too close nor too far, appearing within easy reach should he truly exert himself.

Lin Qingfeng's expression abruptly shifted: "Damn it, he was actually concealing his true capabilities?"

Initially convinced they were toying with their prey, they now realized they themselves were the ones being manipulated. Chen Nan possessed the ability to escape directly all along.

This revelation only intensified their fury, and they continued to accelerate their pursuit, yet still found themselves unable to catch up.

Finally, after having fled five hundred miles from Moon River Valley, Chen Nan abruptly halted his flight in a desolate locale, not far from the immense Endless Sea, where the rhythmic crashing of waves could be heard.

He turned around, his eyes gradually hardening, as he confronted his two pursuers.

...

Within the confines of Moon River Valley, in her private chambers, Yun Ying could not suppress her sorrowful tears.

"Why, despite my profound kindness towards you, do you persist in slandering my sect? Could it be that your intentions are truly malicious?"

Her thoughts dwelling on Chen Nan, a wave of sorrow washed over her.

At this precise moment, the Sect Leader of Moon River Valley, Guo Qing, entered the room with measured steps. Upon observing the tear-streaked Yun Ying, he offered a gentle sigh.

"Disciple, do not grieve excessively. Such anguish is unwarranted for an insignificant individual."

"Master!"

Yun Ying gazed at Guo Qing, her eyes brimming with tears, and flung herself into his embrace. "Why, I truly desired a junior brother; he clearly called me a Female Knight."

Guo Qing, displaying a caring demeanor and no interest in the idea of a Female Knight, sighed. "I had no intention of telling you, but I can't bear to witness your sadness."

"When you first brought him back, I investigated him. It turns out that despite being a loose cultivator, he's committed all kinds of wicked deeds, and countless innocent lives were lost due to his actions."

"His return to Moon River Valley this time was solely for personal gain. Since he couldn't deceive you, he resorted to stealing numerous elixir pills from the Sect before fleeing."

"What? He actually escaped?" Yun Ying's eyes suddenly widened in shock.

Although Chen Nan harbored malicious intentions, the moments they shared were sincere, and she had genuinely experienced happiness during that time.

Therefore, upon learning that Chen Nan had fled the Sect, a sense of reluctance washed over her.

"Alas, misguided disciple, this individual harbored ill intentions from the outset; his departure was an inevitability. Cease thinking of him; people from the outside world are truly hypocritical, and your innocence made you susceptible to deception."
