School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master Chapter 1802: 1888: Attending the Gathering at Demon God Mountain

“What are you going to do?”

Liu Tiantian, with her big, adorable eyes, looked at Chen Nan with anticipation.

Chen Nan let out a chuckle and playfully knocked her over.

Soon, the surroundings became shrouded in a hazy mist. From the outside, it appeared as a scene of clouds and fog, yet the intriguing moans that escaped implied happenings far beyond ordinary imagination.

Liu Tiantian’s voice, a mix of pain and pleasure, left the pure-hearted author perplexed, unable to decipher the exact nature of their activity.

It was a contest without any visible conflict, a battle waged without bloodshed.

The two were locked in an intense exchange for several hours until a messenger from the Heaven Punishment Alliance arrived. He announced that the venerable Ninth Master of Demon God Mountain had extended an invitation to Chen Nan, requesting his presence at a treasure appraisal conference to be held on the mountain.

Upon receiving this news, a smile touched Chen Nan’s lips. “It seems the Nine-Clawed Fire Li has finally achieved enlightenment,” he murmured.

He recalled how, in the past, he had guided the Nine-Clawed Fire Li. The old man, influenced by Chen Nan’s words about flaws potentially being a form of perfection, had entered secluded cultivation. However, Chen Nan knew that true enlightenment for a free spirit like him wouldn't come from mere guidance; it required breaking free and forging his own path.

This journey mirrors the progression of perception: initially seeing a mountain as a mountain, then shifting one’s perspective to see it as not a mountain, and finally, returning to see the mountain as a mountain once more.

The old Ninth Master’s final breakthrough was a result of his own hard-won comprehension, especially in reaching the Third Level. Back then, Chen Nan had offered assistance, but deliberately withheld the most crucial insights.

Despite spending hours intertwined with Liu Tiantian, Chen Nan felt no fatigue. On the contrary, the benefits derived from their Yin Yang Fusion and his Chaos Sacred Body had elevated both their spirit energies to a peak state.

Hearing about the invitation from Demon God Mountain, Liu Tiantian, who was affectionately clinging to Chen Nan’s arm, became visibly excited. “Husband, where is Demon God Mountain? It sounds incredibly fun! A treasure appraisal conference, I definitely want to go.”

A faint headache began to form in Chen Nan’s mind. While the enlightenment of the Nine-Clawed Fire Li brought him happiness, the invitation itself presented a complex situation.

“Senior Nine Claws’ invitation…”

A sense of internal conflict stirred within Chen Nan, though he remained silent. Glancing at the assembled group, he decided that if he had to bring Liu Tiantian, it would be best to also include Huo Xinya, Chu Wenrou, and Su Qingqing.

Chen Nan looked at Ye Yiyi and the others, a wry smile playing on his lips. Ye Yiyi and Ziyun, displaying exceptional consideration, reassured him, “Senior Brother, please don’t worry. We will remain here to guard the Execution Hall.”

Ziyun nodded in agreement.

Their understanding deepened Chen Nan’s slight embarrassment from the earlier events with Liu Tiantian in the Execution Hall. This awkwardness was further amplified by a voice transmission from Ziyun: “Husband, I’ve heard that Demon God Mountain is home to countless enchantresses skilled in seduction. Do not be swayed by their charms.”

Ziyun’s concern for his reputation left Chen Nan unable to refute, and he quickly agreed mentally to her counsel.

Ye Yiyi, meanwhile, remained silent.

With Zhao Han and Ziyun firmly holding down the fort at Ancient God Star, Chen Nan felt no lingering concerns. Even the Haotian Tower, though currently in seclusion, would undoubtedly awaken to provide assistance should any significant anomaly occur on Ancient God Star.

“Little Fire, Demon God Mountain is filled with cultivators of high standing. I'm uncertain if the Qilin Clan will be present, but understanding the ways of demon gods, you might find opportunities there,” Chen Nan mused before summoning the Fire Qilin.

“Chen Nan, have you forgotten about your esteemed chicken master?”

The Black Feathered Chicken descended from the sky, landing with a skid that kicked up a cloud of dust. It hopped up indignantly and shouted at Chen Nan.

Chen Nan swatted it away, sending it tumbling. “Blast it! You always have to butt into everything. This time, we’re merely short a mount, so you’ll have to suffice.”

Chen Nan deliberately provoked the Black Feathered Chicken, which reacted by squawking furiously towards the heavens and flapping its wings as if preparing to attack. However, upon seeing Chen Nan casually brandish the Golden Phoenix Winged Spear, it immediately calmed down. After a few muttered curses, it obediently transformed into Chen Nan’s mount.

Meanwhile, the Fire Qilin had already allowed Huo Xinya and Chu Wenrou to mount it.

Five individuals and two demon beasts ascended towards Demon God Mountain.

En route, Chen Nan witnessed firsthand the devastation wrought by the Yin Yang Saintess. Craters marred the celestial bodies within the Panlong Star Domain, stark evidence of her destructive power. The Yin Yang Saintess possessed two formidable spiritual treasures, one of which, despite being damaged, remained incredibly potent, and her overall strength far exceeded that of the Demon Clan’s Supreme beings.

Upon reaching Demon God Mountain, Chen Nan extended his Divine Sense and a look of surprise crossed his face, as no demon beasts could be seen in the vicinity of the mountain.

Chen Nan harbored another motive for his visit to Demon God Mountain this time; he wished to inquire with the mountain's formidable experts whether Pu Li's inner core could be mended.

He recalled his past days in the Magic Realm alongside the Fire Qilin, Pu Li, and Little Heavenly Demon, moments that were indelibly etched in his memory.

“Could this be a trap orchestrated by the Yin Yang Saintess, attempting to lure me in?”

Chen Nan's heart fluttered with apprehension, but he soon calmed himself, recognizing the improbability of such a scheme. The Yin Yang Saintess possessed great power, yet the collective might of Demon God Mountain's fourteen powerhouses, a fact he had personally observed, was not to be underestimated.

As his thoughts swirled, figures emerged in the distance. Three of them, human experts at the Heavenly Monarch Level, paid Chen Nan and his companions no heed as they soared towards Demon God Mountain. Upon approaching a verdant barrier, they made contact with it and vanished from Chen Nan's sight in an instant.

“What sort of barrier is this that completely seals off the outside world? Even my Divine Sense cannot pierce its veil,” Chen Nan marveled, astonishment evident in his voice, even as he urged the Black Feathered Chicken and Fire Qilin forward towards the barrier.

If the inhabitants of Demon God Mountain had intended him harm, they could have easily done so at any opportune moment; such elaborate stratagems would have been unnecessary.

“As the proverb states, ‘Do not employ someone you doubt, nor doubt someone you employ.’ The same principle applies to forging friendships.” In the blink of an eye, they had passed through the green barrier.

Beyond the emerald barrier, the panorama that unfolded before Chen Nan caused his eyes to widen in sheer amazement: nestled within Demon God Mountain lay an ancient, mountain-bound city.

The ancient city's ramparts soared thousands of feet high, and at its heart stood a Lingxiao Pavilion, its three grand characters shimmering faintly amidst the mist, igniting the imagination.

“Blast it, Senior Nine Claw is utterly unreliable; he invites me here but doesn't even dispatch someone to welcome us.”
