School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master Chapter 1837 - 1923: Campaign in the Outer Domain 2
Previously on School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master...
In the space of a breath, five individuals and two demonic beasts traversed the cloud layers. Within a mere quarter of an hour, they had covered an astonishing distance of tens of thousands of miles.
The Panlong Star Domain is an immense expanse, and despite traversing such a vast distance, the conflict between the Dragon Emperor and the Nine Nether Evil Emperor in the distant void remained clearly visible, with primordial Qi surging across the heavens.
Fortunately, this titanic struggle was confined to the void. Had it occurred on Earth, the ongoing cataclysm would have inevitably led to the planet's complete annihilation over time.
"You fool, both the Mo Family's ancestor and the Bing Family's ancestor are critically injured. They will likely require significant time to recover upon their return and will be in no condition to assist with the Dragon Emperor and Nine Nether's conflict. How about I pay a visit to the Magic Realm?"
Su Qingqing observed the distant void, recalling it had been some time since her foster mother's anger had likely subsided. It seemed an opportune moment to seek her aid.
"Husband, let's activate the Heavenly Ascending Ladder together to help Qingqing reach the Magic Realm. The Jiuyin Witch is exceptionally potent; at a crucial juncture, she should be capable of halting the fatal confrontation between the Dragon Emperor and the Nine Nether Evil Emperor."
Chu Wenrou, upon hearing Su Qingqing's intention to contact the Jiuyin Witch, concurred that it was a sound strategy. She had personally witnessed the Jiuyin Witch's formidable power during her previous stay in the Magic Realm.
"The Magic Realm?" Chen Nan's brow furrowed, and he gave a slight shake of his head.
He remained uncertain whether the Little Heavenly Demon had been manipulated by the Ancient Demon Soul, with the Ghost Lord's interference playing a role.
The Ghost Lord was an enigmatic figure, and as the younger brother of the supreme master of the Demon Path, a connection seemed plausible. Yet, Chen Nan couldn't fathom why the Ghost Lord, harboring a Heart Demon himself, would conspire against the Little Heavenly Demon.
Until this enigma was unraveled, he was unwilling to put his companions in harm's way. These powerful cultivators could foresee impending events, and their foresight sometimes spanned millennia.
With his current cultivation realm and lacking experience of ancient conflicts, he found himself unable to glean any valuable insights.
"We absolutely cannot venture to the Magic Realm at this point. Furthermore, the Jiuyin Witch is your foster mother, not a subordinate to be summoned at anyone's whim simply because a problem arises."
Chen Nan was aware that the Jiuyin Witch held Su Qingqing in high regard and might agree to a personal request. Despite this, he still intended to abandon the plan.
Chen Nan's thoughts were occupied by the Treasure Bone and the Demon Essence Stone. The power contained within the Treasure Bone was so immense that even the Yin Yang Saintess could not budge it. If the Small Tower could comprehend its essence, its strength would be vastly enhanced, potentially saving them in dire circumstances.
"You do make a valid point."
Su Qingqing pursed her lips. After careful deliberation, she concluded it was wiser not to rely on her foster mother's power for the present. Each use diminished its availability, and should Chen Nan face peril later, seeking assistance would become significantly more challenging.
Just as they neared the Ancient God Star, a Divine Thought resonated in Chen Nan's ear – it was a desperate plea from the ancestor of the Mo Family.
"This is not good; I overlooked something. Although the Yin Yang Saintess sustained minor injuries, she would never concede so easily. She is undoubtedly still within the Star Domain, poised to profit from the Dragon Emperor and Nine Nether's battle without directly engaging. However, both the Mo Family and Bing Family ancestors are heavily wounded."
Chen Nan's expression shifted abruptly. "Little Fire, escort your godmother and the others back first. I will aid the ancestors of the Mo Family and Bing Family."
Chu Wenrou and the others lodged protests. "Husband, during our time at Demon God Mountain, we contributed little. Now, facing only the Yin Yang Saintess, you, along with the Mo Family and Bing Family ancestors who are hardly weak, should permit us to accompany you."
Chu Wenrou understood Chen Nan's concern for their safety and firmly countered his reasoning.
Huo Xinya also fixed her gaze on Chen Nan. "Husband, take us with you. We are your women, but we are certainly not burdens. Even if the Yin Yang Saintess is a supreme expert, we will make her regret her actions."
Chen Nan surveyed Liu Tiantian and Su Qingqing, whose eagerness for battle was palpable.
After a brief pause, Chen Nan nodded. "This time, the Yin Yang Saintess is actively courting disaster. With her current strength, she might contend with me individually, but with the Mo Family and Bing Family ancestors, plus all of you, she will undoubtedly be subdued by our combined might."
With Chen Nan now standing at the Mid-stage Heavenly Monarch realm, his power has surged, providing him a newfound confidence. He felt capable of facing even the formidable Yin Yang Saintess, possessing the mindset of an unstoppable expert.
"Indeed, my Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Demon Suppression Slash technique has reached the Transformation Realm. I can still contend even against a Half-step Supreme expert alone. With all of us here, even if she is a supreme being, she is no match for my foster mother," Chen Nan declared.
Su Qingqing summoned forth the White Jade Lotus Platform, a slight smile gracing her lips as she offered herself words of encouragement.
"There's no time to waste; let's make haste. Although the ancestors of the Mo Family and Bing Family have significantly bolstered their strength, they have not yet ascended to the Supreme realm. They are heavily injured and likely won't hold out much longer," Su Qingqing urged.
The principle of repaying kindness tenfold resonated with Chen Nan, as the ancestors of the Mo Family and Bing Family had treated him with the familiarity of a friend. As their strength rapidly grew within the Star Domain, they were inevitably targeted by the Yin Yang Saintess. However, having stumbled upon this situation, Chen Nan resolved to intervene, even at the risk of his own life.
Traveling with four women meant their progress was not swift. Since the ancestors of the Mo Family and Bing Family had already traveled a considerable distance, it took the Black Feathered Chicken and Fire Qilin over an hour to reach the location where the Mo Family ancestor was under attack.
Upon their arrival, Chen Nan's expression turned grave. The intense scent of blood permeating the void suggested this was not solely the work of the Yin Yang Saintess.
Chen Nan focused his vision, his eyes blazing with purple Divine Fire and green Demon Fire, attempting to pierce through the veil of what had transpired in the void.
After a thorough observation, a faint smile touched his lips. The area of the void where the Mo Family ancestor was wounded was unexpectedly protected by a Void Illusion Array. This intricate formation would have remained undiscovered without the aid of the Divine Fire and Demon Fire ignited within his eyes.
Having seen through the formidable Void Illusion Array, Chen Nan's closer inspection revealed the presence of multiple similar arrays scattered nearby. The lingering aura was unmistakably the signature of the Yin Yang Saintess's craft.
What truly astonished Chen Nan was the presence of several other powerful individuals alongside the Yin Yang Saintess. Among them were a Half-step Supreme expert and numerous cultivators in the Invincible Realm, all of whom were formidable Sword Cultivators.
"The Ancient Golden Sword Sect, it is rather unexpected that their members remain so headstrong," Chen Nan mused.
On the day in Lingxiao City, they were supposed to be subjected to a period of reflection under the guidance of the Tongtian Five Elders, not annihilation. Yet, first, it was Jian Er Shisan, that old rogue who masqueraded as the Nine Clawed Fire Glass, attempting to end his life.
And now, these Golden Sword Sect cultivators were colluding with the Yin Yang Saintess to ambush the ancestors of the Mo Family and Bing Family, even daring to plot against him.
"Yin Yang Saintess, for a mere Treasure Bone whose power you cannot even access, and fueled by our personal grievances, you have dragged these fools into your scheme. This will ultimately lead to your own downfall!" Chen Nan's eyes flashed with a chilling glint. He observed that the injuries sustained by the ancestors of the Mo Family and Bing Family had drastically worsened, leaving them in a dire predicament, facing imminent fatal threats.
