School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master Chapter 1861 - 1947: Secret Realm Treasure 14

Chen Nan initiated the 'Two Realms Without Gap' technique, swiftly transporting the two women with him through the void at an incredible, terrifying pace, covering thousands of miles in mere seconds.

Their journey was exceptionally swift, outrunning the spread of the Netherworld Demonic Energy. Yet, no other figures were sighted within these vast distances. Many Demon Gods within the Secret Realm directed their Divine Sense skyward, but their scans yielded nothing.

Unbeknownst to these Demon Gods, their doom was fast approaching. While Chen Nan had no direct quarrel with them, he couldn't help but feel a chill. If these powerful beings fell, it was only a matter of time before those close to him faced a similar fate.

Even though the current adversaries were not weak, the Netherworld Demonic Energy possessed a peculiar, sinister nature. Chen Nan himself hesitated to engage it directly. How would others, caught completely off guard, possibly fare against such a threat?

...

Elsewhere within the Secret Realm, the Black Feathered Chicken accompanied the Four Fierce Eight Hammers, locked in a fierce battle against several demon beasts of the Demon God Realm.

Shi Fanzhen, his wife Yu Wenhe, and Chen Yi were also engaged with a number of Demon Gods. The Black Feathered Chicken, meanwhile, observed the unfolding chaos, offering a running commentary.

"Little Yi, are you even trying? Come on, show your old man your strength! Yes, yes, give it a good smack! Uncle Chicken is rooting for you."

The Demon God clashing with Chen Yi was incandescent with rage, close to spewing blood, yet he found himself unable to disengage from Chen Yi to retaliate against the Black Feathered Chicken.

Furthermore, he recognized that the Black Feathered Chicken possessed a higher Realm than Chen Yi, making him reluctant to provoke it.

These Demon Gods had spent countless ages within this Secret Realm and had never before encountered intruders. Though accustomed to the clashes between Demon Gods, they lacked the concept of strategic retreat. Despite not being the Four Fierce Eight Hammers' equal, they fought with desperate ferocity, relying on sheer power and numerical advantage.

The Black Feathered Chicken watched with amusement as the might of the Four Fierce Eight Hammers continued to surge, particularly noting the formidable power displayed by Shi Fanzhen, which rivaled Chen Nan's own.

Among the Demon Gods engaging them, the most formidable was in the Late Stage Demon God realm, on the cusp of advancing to the Top-level Demon God – the Half-step Supreme Realm.

Nevertheless, Shi Fanzhen prevailed with apparent ease, fighting magnificently, though a discernible gap existed between his power and that of the Black Feathered Chicken. Such battles, not solely reliant on raw strength, proved immensely beneficial for their growth.

As the intense battle unfolded, two figures, one clad in purple and the other in yellow, materialized in the distance. They appeared somewhat disheveled, yet carried an air of haughty disdain.

Upon witnessing the Four Fierce Eight Hammers engaged in combat within the void, a peculiar glint flashed in their eyes. However, they had not seen Shi Fanzhen within the Haotian Tower and therefore did not recognize them.

The moment they spotted that detestable Black Chicken, however, both the Purple Robed Elder and the Yellow Robed Elder's countenances shifted, anger flaring across their faces. It seemed that Black Chicken served as Chen Nan's mount.

"Esteemed friend Ye, these individuals appear to have entered this Secret Realm alongside us, comrades in this perilous journey. Shall we descend and offer our assistance?" the Purple Robed Elder inquired with a faint smile.

Gazing upon the combatants below, he felt an overwhelming sense of looking down upon mere ants.

"Indeed, the reputation of the Liangji Sect for wisdom is well-earned; meeting you today confirms it. Rendering aid at this opportune moment is precisely the right course of action."

The Yellow Robed Elder chuckled heartily, flicking his sleeve as he plunged directly from the void. Although their Divine Artifacts had been confiscated by Chen Nan, their underlying strength remained intact, and they had been fortunate enough to recover a significant portion of their cultivation during this period.

Now operating at roughly eighty to ninety percent of their former combat effectiveness, their arrival amidst the fray was akin to wolves descending upon a flock of sheep. In moments, the seven or eight Demon Gods were driven to the brink of utter defeat, with one less powerful cultivator meeting an immediate end.

Witnessing these Demon Gods abandon the cave they were defending and scatter in flight, the two venerated Patriarchs of the Qingtian Alliance and the Liangji Sect, the Yellow Robed Elder and the Purple Robed Elder, let out triumphant roars. With effortless grace, they claimed the two ten-thousand-year-old Vermilion Bird Flowers burgeoning within the cave, securing them for themselves.

"The Vermilion Bird Flower, as legend has it, is born from the very blood of the Vermilion Bird. An exceptionally precious concoction, perfect for refinement."

The Purple Robed Elder guffawed, then swept towards Shi Fanzhen and his companions, a pleasant demeanor gracing his features: "There's no need for formalities. Since you are friends of Chen Nan, we have been instructed by Ghost Honor to safeguard him and, incidentally, to aid you. It is a trivial matter."

The Yellow Robed Elder also waved dismissively, both projecting an air of magnanimous generosity.

Yet, they discovered that the four individuals, alongside the Black Feathered Chicken, were observing them as if they were utter fools.

’Mere insignificant ants, do they truly believe they stand a chance against two half-step Supremes like us?’ The Purple Robed Elder felt a tremor of unease, transmitting his thoughts to the Yellow Robed Elder via Divine Thought.

The Yellow Robed Elder scoffed, “That brat Chen Nan is not to be underestimated. Unless these fools intend to sprout wings and fly to heaven, we shall execute them all on the spot if they dare to attack.”

“Indeed, no one will be the wiser. By then, we can simply claim they were devoured by Demon Gods here; it won’t be our doing.”

This exchange of Divine Thoughts, filled with dramatic pronouncements, instantly banished their apprehension.

While they were engrossed in their plotting, the Black Chicken, which had been observing from above, suddenly descended, landing near the Demon God they had just slain. It then proceeded to cover the deceased creature with its wings.

“It’s all over! That villain has taken my brother’s life. Among all my brethren in the Demon Clan, though he was a bit on the weaker side, he was unfailingly loyal and righteous. Yet, he has now been slain by these despicable thieves!”

Tears streamed from its beady chicken eyes, as if it were mourning the loss of its own flesh and blood.

The Purple Robed Elder and the Yellow Robed Elder were thrown into immediate disarray. They hadn't clearly discerned whether the slain, weaker Demon God had been confronting Shi Fanzhen and his companions or if it was an ally.

Had they mistakenly killed one of their own?

The ancient pair, recalling how the Black Chicken had merely watched the commotion earlier and had also observed the four engaged in battle, had presumed all Demon Gods within the Secret Realm were hostile, prompting their immediate, decisive action.

Confronted by the Black Feathered Chicken’s expression of profound sorrow, they initially panicked. Then, a fierce Killing Aura erupted in their eyes.

At this juncture, they realized they had no alternative but to eliminate everyone present, including the Black Chicken.

Otherwise, if word of this reached Chen Nan, their doom would be sealed.

They had already conceded that they were no match for Chen Nan.

“I had no intention of killing you, but you have courted your own demise. Do not blame the Patriarch when retribution comes,” the Purple Robed Elder and Yellow Robed Elder declared in unison. Activating their Divine Power, they simultaneously launched an assault on the Black Feathered Chicken.

Alas, they were entirely unaware that the dead chicken’s lamentations were merely a cunning ploy to deceive them.
