Dashing Student Chapter 976: A Death Well Deserved

Chen Nan erupted suddenly, killing people and showing all the cultivators present his ruthlessness.

Before this, the name Flame Demon only existed on the Hidden Dragon List and in the mouths of a few cultivators, but now it was truly etched in their hearts.

The Wang Family lost a young genius, causing Wang Teng’s grandfather to fly into a rage and dispatch everyone to hunt down Chen Nan.

He even declared, "Even if I have to search every corner of the Nine Provinces, I will grind Chen Nan’s bones to dust!"

However, the Wang Family’s anger secretly delighted many cultivators, because the Wang Family was overly domineering, ready to kill at any disagreement.

Now the highly esteemed prodigy of the Wang Family was slaughtered like a dog, right under the eyes of a Nascent Soul cultivator, a devastating blow to the Wang Family’s prestige.

Many people even secretly mocked, laughing at the Wang Family’s impotent rage.

Tu Susu, still flying in the air, was stunned for a long time by the sudden change, but for some reason felt secretly relieved, genuinely fearing that Chen Nan would have been killed by Old Wang.

"Hehe, how interesting, don’t think you can escape from the palm of my hand."

"Send word to the disciples of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect, whoever finds Chen Nan will be heavily rewarded by me!"

The two elders, Black and White Impermanence of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect, silently nodded.

Apart from the Ten Thousand Demon Sect, Zhang Yunyi, Chong Xiao, and Xuan Hui, upon learning that Chen Nan had escaped and killed Wang Teng on the way, were eager to applaud.

"He deserves the white-eyed wolf’s fate!"

Besides these acquaintances of Chen Nan, several other cultivators seemed to be mere onlookers, but were filled with intense fear.

The leading cultivator unexpectedly was Xie Dong of the Piaomiao Sect!

Xie Dong had received Liu Shenyan’s orders to attend the Ancient Realm Secret Realm to deal with Chen Nan, but they hadn’t found him at first.

After leaving the Ancient Realm Secret Realm, they learned Chen Nan had indeed been there, thinking the Wang Family could dispose of Chen Nan without their intervention.

But they personally witnessed the scene of Chen Nan killing Wang Teng, making them call it a close shave in their hearts.

"Thankfully, we didn’t encounter him in the Ancient Realm Secret Realm, otherwise I wouldn’t even know how I died!"

Xie Dong wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and glanced at his companions, finding them pale-faced and deeply shaken.

Liu Shenyan’s rewards were indeed generous, but one needed to be alive to claim them.

Xie Dong decided that once he returned, he’d never get involved in anything related to Chen Nan again.

...

A hundred miles away, a flash of white light, and Chen Nan, covered in bruises, plummeted to the ground.

In that brief moment, Wang Teng’s grandfather almost killed him.

Nascent Soul cultivators were truly terrifying.

This was with Wang Teng’s grandfather being careless; if he had been cautious against Chen Nan all along, perhaps Chen Nan wouldn’t even have had the chance to approach Wang Teng.

"Ugh..."

When Chen Nan moved, his wound, pierced by a rock, gushed with blood, and he spat a mouthful of blood on the ground with a "wah".

"No, I can’t stay here."

He forced himself to stand, holding a bloodstained storage bag, rummaged within, and found a Sixth Grade Healing Elixir Pill.

Swallowing the pill, Chen Nan grimaced in pain but still wore a slight smile.

"Truly a top cultivation family prodigy, so wealthy!"

This storage bag was casually taken from Wang Teng; since the Wang Family wanted to kill him, he naturally wouldn’t be courteous.

Killing and seizing treasure in front of the Wang Family’s Nascent Soul cultivators, the recollection of this feeling boiled down to two words: thrilling!

With the elixir and his own strong recovery power, Chen Nan’s injuries improved, and he dared not linger, for who knew what other tricks Wang Teng’s grandfather might have?

Thus he struggled onward, continuously for seven days before seeing a city.

His wounds had entirely healed by then, but due to not having time to properly heal, he still hadn’t fully recovered, remaining in a weakened state.

After using the "Heavenly Fox Form" to alter his appearance, Chen Nan entered the city and heard there was a Cross-border Transmission Array in town, feeling a burst of joy.

This way, he could leave Kunlun State for elsewhere, avoiding being found by the Wang Family.

Although the Wang Family wasn’t a Kunlun State cultivation family, among the families allied against Chen Nan, there were local families from Kunlun State.

The risk of staying was too great.

As he passed a restaurant, he suddenly heard someone speaking loudly and perked up his ears, surprisingly hearing talk about himself.

Quietly approaching the restaurant entrance, Chen Nan stood by a small stall selling masks, pretending to choose one while actually eavesdropping on the conversations inside.

"Have you heard about Chen Nan? That guy is really ruthless, even killing the Wang Family’s young genius!"

"That’s nothing! My aunt’s cousin’s grandfather’s grandson’s seventh uncle was there at the scene, seeing Chen Nan with his own eyes!"

"Alas, it’s a pity. Not only the Wang Family, but the Sun Family and Zhang Family, as well as Yuantian Sect’s Master Xuanming, have all offered bounties on Chen Nan."

"It’s not just them; even Liu Shenyan of the Piaomiao Sect and City Lord Wu Jue of Luoxian City want to capture Chen Nan. Anyone providing information about Chen Nan could become overnight wealthy!"

Hearing this, Chen Nan was taken aback, not surprised by Liu Shenyan’s involvement, as the Heaven-Burning Flame couldn’t remain hidden indefinitely.

But how did City Lord Wu Jue of Luoxian City know about him? He had always kept his identity hidden back then.

Indeed, Nascent Soul cultivators were not so easily fooled.

Listening to the enumeration of his foes, Chen Nan couldn’t help but smile wryly, feeling quite overwhelmed by the fact that they were all Nascent Soul stage experts.

Unwittingly, he had offended so many people.

"Hehe, joining forces to hunt me down, I must really have some incredible reputation."

"Sir, are you going to buy or not?"

The mask vendor gave Chen Nan a complaining look, seeing him taking so long to choose.

Only then did Chen Nan come to his senses, casually buying a thin fine iron mask before heading toward the city’s transmission array.

Kunlun State was indeed no longer a place to stay; he had to get far away.

Along the way, he chose two potential destinations.

Yong Province or Liang Province.

Both provinces were the most remote, with one having rolling black sands and celestial camels treading the moon, and the other adjacent to the Snowfield, abundant with mountains and dense forests.

In the end, Chen Nan chose Liang Province, rich with mountains and forests.

By hiding in the big mountains, who could possibly find him?

After paying over ten thousand spirit stones, Chen Nan set foot on the transmission array. As its light shone, he quickly disappeared from view.

Just before leaving, he faintly saw several cultivators arriving at the transmission array.

These cultivators were from the Chen Family, as they also had businesses in the area.

Having just received the news, they came to the transmission array to prevent Chen Nan from escaping through it.

Unfortunately, they were a step too late, just short by a whisper.
