School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master Chapter 1883 - 1969: Outer Domain Battlefield 6

Noticing the demeanor of this group of five, Chen Nan couldn’t help but feel a flicker of hope.

He had initially considered changing the topic, but their words now made him believe he had stumbled upon a fortunate turn of events.

Still, the imminent danger had not entirely subsided; a confrontation could erupt at any moment. The three men before him were of an indeterminate cultivation realm, and their true strength remained a mystery.

Unsure of their capabilities, Chen Nan hesitated to readily summon the Haotian Tower. After all, such a potent artifact could easily draw unwanted attention. If the Heavenly People Clan were to discover him, further deception would become exceedingly difficult.

Chen Nan quickly offered a smile, stating, "Life is fleeting. Though my cultivation is merely at the Heavenly Monarch Ninth Layer, the conflict between my clan and the Human Clan weighs heavily on my heart. I would rather perish than allow the Human Clan to gain an advantage. My sole hope is that you, esteemed seniors, will seize control of the Four Extremes World."

"You show remarkable spirit. Despite being only in the Heavenly Monarch Realm, not yet having reached Half-step Supreme, you possess more courage than these two useless individuals beside me. You exhibit a genuine willingness to fight to the bitter end."

The leading Supreme directed a look of clear annoyance at the two Half-step Supremes flanking him, lamenting their inadequacy. "If, in the Ancient Times, a stronger sense of camaraderie had existed, imagine how many more worlds we could have conquered within the Cosmic Star Domain, let alone just the Four Extremes World."

His words boomed with an air of bold arrogance, seemingly fueled by fervent conviction.

Yet, Chen Nan felt a surge of apprehension; these 'Birdmen' were clearly on a different level than those he had encountered in the Human World’s Star Domain – those short-sighted beings preoccupied only with immediate gains and losses.

This individual harbored grand ambitions!

Such figures were the most perilous. The power of any single world was inherently finite; the true terror lay in their audacious spirit and their fearlessness in the face of death.

"Heh, you are too kind, senior. The Four Extremes World is protected by formidable experts, not to mention the Defensive Array and Prohibition established by the Primitive Heavenly Emperor, alongside numerous other powerful individuals. Conquering it will undoubtedly require a significant cost in blood. If one does not embrace the prospect of death, why venture to this Outer Domain Battlefield?"

No sooner had Chen Nan finished speaking than another Supreme Expert began to berate the two Half-step Supremes. "You two, already advanced in years, should take a cue from this young brother. If not for the Alliance Hierarch's intervention this time..."

It was evident that these three held the two Half-step Supremes in low regard. This disdain might stem not solely from their capabilities but perhaps also from their conservative nature, unwilling to risk their lives.

This sentiment was understandable. In the past, during the Ancient Times, when the Seven Great Experts and Kuang Zhen Tian were involved, the combatants were either Supreme Experts or those with profound cultivation foundations, resulting in the greatest casualties among those below the Supreme level.

Under such prevailing circumstances, it was natural for these two Half-step Supremes to avoid proactive engagement, content to allow the Human Clan experts to remain sheltered behind their Grand Formation, attempting to prolong the conflict. This kind of timidity was not uncommon among Humans, a fact Chen Nan immediately grasped.

While these three Supremes and Chen Nan exchanged pleasantries, and on several occasions they inquired about Chen Nan's origins, he deftly deflected their questions. However, a subtle flicker of displeasure surfaced in the eyes of the two Half-step Supremes.

This delicate situation could not endure indefinitely.

Eventually, those two individuals would inevitably voice their suspicions, and when they did, if Chen Nan found himself unable to provide a satisfactory response, it would undoubtedly raise alarms at such a critical juncture.

Earlier, before encountering these three Heavenly People, he could have utilized the Two Realms Without Gap technique to escape if suspicions arose. But now... the opportunity to forge an alliance with three Supremes of the Heavenly People Clan simultaneously was a chance that might never present itself again.

This situation was ideal for gleaning intelligence about their strategic deployments and, with a stroke of luck, discerning if any experts capable of rivaling the Demon Path Supreme existed among them – identifying their potential vulnerabilities.

"Know your enemy and know yourself, and you will emerge victorious in countless battles."

"These three appear exceptionally formidable, and the fact that they could compel the Alliance Hierarch to intervene suggests they hold a certain standing within the Heavenly People Clan."

Chen Nan surmised that the Alliance Hierarch, who could persuade the Supremes to tolerate the presence of these two lesser beings, must wield considerable influence.

However, they belonged to the Blood Martial Hall. Should he simply fabricate an affiliation with the White Tiger Hall or the Azure Dragon Hall? What if these 'Birdmen' disregarded convention, or worse, recognized one another's true allegiances? Would that not only complicate matters but potentially prove disastrous?

Chen Nan immediately cast aside this notion. While engaging the three Supremes in conversation, his mind was occupied with strategizing how to navigate the unfolding situation. Abruptly, he detected a familiar aura emanating from the distant Void.

It was Ou Yifei!

Upon glimpsing her form, Chen Nan's heart skipped a beat. He wondered why she had arrived.

Before Chen Nan could even project his Divine Thought to initiate communication, Ou Yifei had already closed the distance between them.

This young woman's cultivation realm had astonishingly advanced to Half-step Supreme, a progression that defied natural order, yet her formidable power was undeniable.

Her arrival was unexpectedly swift.

"Nanchen, what brings you here, engaging in such amiable conversation with the three esteemed seniors from the Blood Martial Hall?" Ou Yifei alighted beside them, gracefully folding her wings and offering a slight nod with a smile to the trio of Supremes.

"And who might you be..." the leading Supreme inquired.

"A member of Hu Ben, serving under the Symbol Emperor. I am Ou Yifei," she stated with a gentle smile, revealing her identity. This declaration caused the expressions of the three Supremes and the two Half-step Supremes to shift dramatically.

"It has been said that the Hu Ben members under the Symbol Emperor are all exceptionally powerful and outstanding individuals. To even encounter a woman among them is truly a testament to a heroine who rivals any man."

The three Supremes turned their inquisitive gazes toward Chen Nan. "Are you also a member of Hu Ben, little brother?"

The Blood Martial Hall was a force within the Jianghu, whereas Hu Ben was a formidable power associated with the Royal Family. They had heard whispers of Hu Ben members but found their activities shrouded in mystery.

However, the prevailing rumors indicated that Hu Ben members never held a cultivation realm below Half-step Supreme. This fact, coupled with Chen Nan's current Heavenly Monarch Realm, naturally sparked their suspicion.

Ou Yifei's timely arrival diffused the palpable tension and clarified their identities, much to Chen Nan's relief. Nevertheless, he couldn't help but notice the lingering doubt in the eyes of the three Supremes and the two individuals of lesser standing, the Half-step Supremes.

Specifically, those two lesser individuals immediately voiced their skepticism. "Given the sheer abundance of experts serving under the Symbol Emperor, and Hu Ben's esteemed reputation as the foremost power of our Heavenly People Clan, it is not a title that just anyone can falsely claim. While it is one thing that you two are not adorned in Hu Ben Battle Armor, since when has Hu Ben, with its three hundred members, ever recruited anyone below the Half-step Supreme realm?"

These two Half-step Supremes were individuals of aristocratic standing within the Heavenly People Clan. They had once harbored ambitions of joining Hu Ben themselves but were ultimately unsuccessful, leading them to settle for a position within the Jianghu group known as the Blood Martial Hall.

Chen Nan harbored a strong desire to instantly eliminate these two bothersome individuals. However, Ou Yifei displayed remarkable astuteness. Her proven history of successfully infiltrating the Heavenly People Clan and deceiving everyone was a testament to her capabilities.

Chen Nan maintained an impassive expression, with only a subtle smile playing at the corners of his lips.

"Hu Ben Battle Armor possesses the capability to elevate a Half-step Supreme's defensive prowess to the level of the Supreme Realm, but it consumes an enormous quantity of Crystal Stones. Why squander such resources when there is no imminent battle?" Ou Yifei retorted with a cold scoff.

"Although this Nanchen Heavenly Monarch has not yet ascended to the Half-step Supreme realm, his inherent strength is more than sufficient for you two to test to your heart's content."

Ou Yifei cast a disdainful glance at the two Half-step Supremes before turning her attention to the three Supremes. "How do you intend to proceed, esteemed seniors?"
