School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master Chapter 1838 - 1924: Campaign in the Outer Domain 3

Chen Nan cast a fleeting glance towards the cultivators of the Golden Sword Sect concealed within the Void Illusion Array, their presence barely registering. His true focus remained fixed upon the Yin Yang Saintess.

This woman, known for her cunning, ruthlessness, and deep-seated grudges, was a schemer of the highest order. Should she not be dealt with swiftly, she would undoubtedly evolve into a significant threat in the days to come.

The Yin Yang Saintess hovered in the void, gazing down upon Chen Nan and his companions. "Chen Nan, even the patriarchs of the Mo and Bing families were ensnared by this Void Illusion Array, and yet you managed to perceive its deception with a single look. It appears you possess some measure of skill, but surely you don't believe that elevates you to my level?"

"The entirety of the Golden Sword Sect's foundation is right here, is it not? A true shame for the once illustrious Ancient Sword Cultivation Sect. Had they opted for a more discreet existence within the Panlong Star Domain, their survival would likely not have been in question, even if their overall might paled in comparison to your three hidden sects."

Chen Nan's gaze swept over a Half-step Supreme and several formidable experts from the Golden Sword Sect before letting out a cold chuckle.

"There's really no need for further explanation, Yin Yang Saintess. You certainly wouldn't have informed them of how I wounded you, forcing your ignominious retreat... haha!"

A subtle smile graced Chen Nan's lips, utterly unfazed by the palpable killing intent radiating from the Yin Yang Saintess.

"Chen Nan, what ludicrous statements are these? Do you genuinely believe your words can shatter the morale of my soldiers? And you think you can harm me? Utter folly!"

The Yin Yang Saintess felt an overwhelming urge to storm out of the Void Illusion Array and directly confront Chen Nan in her fury, but she managed to rein herself in at the last possible moment. To abandon her meticulously laid plans now would be foolish.

This particular arrangement had involved her reaching out to the Ancient Golden Sword Sect, an organization harboring a profound animosity towards Chen Nan. While their sword cultivators were undeniably powerful, their cultivation realms were not exceedingly high. This made them ideal, in critical moments, to serve as expendable pawns to divert Chen Nan's attention.

When the opportune moment arrived, she intended to seize it, unleashing the accumulated power within the Yin Yang Star Plate for a decisive, single strike, thereby eradicating any potential future problems.

The void was already saturated with multiple Void Illusion Arrays. Chen Nan's ability to see through one was, in her estimation, of little consequence.

"Shatter morale? Are you not merely using them as cannon fodder? Heh, it appears even they are deemed unworthy of such a role. Take a closer look at my current cultivation realm." A flash of cunning entered Chen Nan's eyes as he let out a cold laugh.

In terms of cultivation realms, he had never held a distinct advantage. However, given the short interval since the Yin Yang Saintess last observed him, his rapid advancement must surely be a surprise.

The Yin Yang Saintess's gaze swept over him, and her expression underwent a dramatic shift. "I believed myself to be the paramount in cultivation speed within the Four Extremes World, but you... you have ascended to the Mid-stage Heavenly Monarch Realm with such astonishing rapidity."

While the Yin Yang Saintess's countenance shifted, the cultivators of the Golden Sword Sect, who had remained on high alert, now displayed looks of derision. "Mid-stage Heavenly Monarch, haha! A mere Mid-stage Heavenly Monarch presumes such arrogance. Does he not realize that sword cultivators are renowned for their ability to challenge those of superior levels?"

Smugness emanated from the Golden Sword Sect cultivators. One of their invincible experts emerged from the Void Illusion Array, launching a direct assault on Chen Nan.

"Saintess, allow me to teach this arrogant brat a lesson and show him his true place." The invincible expert, brandishing a divine artifact, held no regard for Chen Nan whatsoever.

This lack of concern was understandable. The Golden Sword Sect typically maintained a secluded existence, and while Chen Nan had indeed caused a considerable stir within the Panlong Star Domain, his exploits had left little impression on these isolated sword cultivators.

"Heh heh..."

Chen Nan emitted a cold chuckle, remaining perfectly still. Just as the invincible expert from the Golden Sword Sect closed the distance, a drop of purplish fire, shaped like water, suddenly erupted from his left eye.

Upon witnessing the arrival of the purple fire, the invincible expert's expression contorted in alarm. He swiftly summoned his divine artifact, intending to intercept the attack.

In the ensuing moment, with a low, muffled hum, a plume of smoke billowed where the cultivator had stood; he had vanished into thin air, his divine weapon melting into a state of molten iron. With a simple flick of Chen Nan's wrist, the molten iron was drawn towards him and instantly refined.

"What?"

The other invincible experts of the Golden Sword Sect, along with the Half-step Supreme, stared in disbelief into the void; moments later, expressions of sheer horror dawned upon their faces.

One by one, they frantically attempted to extricate themselves from the confines of the Void Illusion Array.

Despite exhausting all avenues and expending immense effort, their escape from the illusion array proved fruitless, plunging their spirits into despair. "Yin Yang Saintess, you..." The Half-step Supreme of the Golden Sword Sect’s countenance darkened to a dusky purple.

"What about me? Weren't you all eager to eliminate Chen Nan? I was merely lending a hand, offering a bit of assistance. And now you intend to shift the blame onto me?"

A flicker of disdain crossed her eyes. Though their cultivation realms surpassed Chen Nan's, in her estimation, they were instantly rendered insignificant.

"You face two prospects: either collaborate with me to vanquish Chen Nan, or refuse and face either Chen Nan's wrath or eternal confinement within this Void Illusion Array."

The Yin Yang Saintess emitted a chilling, sinister laugh.

Liu Tiantian feigned terror, exclaiming, "Husband, this Yin Yang Saintess is utterly ruthless and cold-blooded. Her scheming against everyone ensures perpetual solitude. What a pity for her beauty, which rivals my own."

Chen Nan rolled his eyes, recognizing Liu Tiantian's act. Given the prestige of her clan and her standing as their most gifted disciple, genuine fear was improbable.

Upon hearing Liu Tiantian's deliberate provocation, the Yin Yang Saintess's demeanor shifted abruptly. She immediately activated the Void Illusion Array, intending to ensnare Chen Nan directly.

"Attempting an invitation into my domain failed, so you resort to forceful seizure? How audacious!" Chen Nan bellowed, discreetly offering Liu Tiantian a congratulatory gesture.

Unexpectedly, her words had succeeded in shattering the Yin Yang Saintess's composure. Had this not occurred, discerning the Array Eye of the Void Illusion Array would have been an immense challenge, potentially beyond the endurance of even the Mo and Bing family patriarchs.

"Loneliness has never been my companion. My sister remains constantly by my side. You wicked woman, your words will incite retribution."

The Yin Yang Saintess launched an immediate assault on Liu Tiantian. Nevertheless, Liu Tiantian stood resolute, unleashing her unique skill to intercept the incoming strike.

With a cultivation realm superior to Chen Nan's, Liu Tiantian surged forward, engaging the Yin Yang Saintess in a fierce exchange within the void.

Her cultivation was significantly suppressed, and she was instantly sent hurtling backward, expelling a gush of crimson blood, her face flushing fiercely.

"Blast it, this old crone's might is terrifying! Husband, I cannot contend with her. You must teach her a lesson," Liu Tiantian declared with indignation.

Chen Nan let out a sigh, remarking, "You knew you were no match for her, yet you charged in so hastily. I had assumed your consumption of numerous spiritual elixirs had propelled your strength to extraordinary heights!"

Liu Tiantian puffed out her chest, retorting, "You're merely teasing me."

Observing her crestfallen expression, Chen Nan chuckled, "The four of you, handle the lackeys from the Golden Sword Sect. Ensure they are incapable of employing the illusion array against the Mo and Bing ancestors. As for the Yin Yang Saintess, that ancient hag is my quarry."
