Dashing Student Chapter 1492 1465: The Golden Crow Displays Its Might

The long-haired man looted the storage bag and obtained the Taiyin, but he was not pleased.

Because these small jade bottles were all thumb-sized, even when combined, they contained very little Taiyin.

A robber cultivator walked over, face full of anger, even kicking the dead blue-robed cultivator twice: "What bad luck, hiding this little Taiyin, he deserved to die!"

The group quickly divided the small bottles of Taiyin among themselves, then looked at the frozen cultivators.

They were not attempting to rescue these companions, or rather, they were not companions at all; they had reluctantly gathered together only to snatch Taiyin.

So, they struck directly, shattering the ice blocks and killing the frozen cultivators.

The frozen cultivators had not died initially, merely being temporarily sealed in ice, but this meant their lives were effectively ended.

After killing them, the long-haired man looted their storage bags, distributing the Taiyin he found, then returned to the Bronze Gate.

Chen Nan stood on the edge of the Oasis, coldly observing everything.

He did not step forward to stop them, because if he, like the other cultivators, were lacking Taiyin, he might have considered such measures as well. The deaths of others were irrelevant to him, yet he did not wish to die.

Thus, Chen Nan did not criticize their actions, instead waiting for them to finish before slowly approaching.

"I don't want to be your enemy. Let me pass, and we'll be at peace."

His words carried a bit of arrogance, which immediately displeased a robber cultivator, who coldly blocked his path.

"What kind of thing are you, to dare negotiate with us?"

The man looked fierce, his mana surging, as if ready to cut Chen Nan's throat at any moment.

"Ah." Chen Nan sighed lightly: "I didn't want to complicate matters."

Before the echo of his voice faded, he suddenly struck like lightning, grabbing the giant hammer from behind him and smashing it forward!

With powerful force and the heavy giant hammer, the weight was so great that the obstructing cultivator couldn't even escape, only able to desperately activate mana, forming layers of barriers above him.

Crack!

The barriers shattered under the giant hammer, finally smashing onto the cultivator's head, the immense power driving him into the ground like a wedge.

Silence ensued all around.

Chen Nan looked up at the long-haired man, discerning that he was the actual manager among these people, and his cultivation was the strongest.

"Do you still want to make a move?"

The surrounding cultivators collectively stepped back, their eyes filled with awe, this was the awe that accompanies strength.

The long-haired man remained calm, even laughed: "You're called Zhang San, right? Outside the secret realm, you produced a lot of Taiyin to open the secret realm."

"Actually, I know it was you, because when someone begged for mercy in my presence, they said you had a lot of Taiyin."

Chen Nan's expression hardened, his heart suddenly thinking of someone, but he didn't want to believe that person betrayed him for their life.

"He said that upon encountering you, they'd get a lot of Taiyin from you, also said you were a fool who could be easily tricked with just a word."

The long-haired man smiled malevolently, as if remembering suddenly, or perhaps flaunting, he took out a jade bottle from the storage bag.

The jade bottle was palm-sized, filled with Taiyin, possessing so much Taiyin within the Moon God Temple secret realm was indeed a luxury.

"This was obtained from that person, said it's all from you, right?"

Chen Nan recognized the jade bottle instantly, as it was the one he gave to Wen Jing; indeed, the one who betrayed him was Wen Jing.

"Where is he?"

"Oh, he's already gone, as he handed over so much Taiyin, I kept my promise and let him leave," the long-haired man gestured to the bronze gate behind him: "But without Taiyin, he probably won't live long."

"You could easily give away so much Taiyin, obviously you have even more on you, it seems he really didn't deceive me."

Chen Nan remained silent, having softened his heart once, yet encountering a traitor, this left his mood quite terrible.

"So it seems when he said he wanted me to take care of his wife and children, that must have been false as well."

He took out the storage bag Wen Jing gave him, out of respect he had never opened this storage bag, thinking now it was probably empty.

"Ridiculous that I actually believed such a person."

However, upon examining inside the bag, Chen Nan was stunned, for it contained many spirit stones, spiritual artifacts, and even magic and elixir pills.

They appeared to be the complete exaggerated contents of a Golden Core realm cultivator, not much, but certainly not less.

"So, at first, he genuinely wanted to entrust me with caring for his wife and children, but after receiving the Taiyin I gave, he changed his mind?"

"Indeed, in the face of life, everything else becomes insignificant."

Chen Nan's tone was full of reflection, he put Wen Jing's storage bag away again.

At least in that moment, Wen Jing was sincere, and he was willing to help the Wen Jing of that moment, as for the Wen Jing who betrayed him, he was no longer important.

"I know you're strong, even faced with a Nascent Soul Realm Master you maintain this attitude, but the disparity in strength is evident here."
