Chen Nan rushed directly to the ancient mansion, but upon arriving at his destination, he found it empty.
Chen Nan had no choice but to leave the ancient mansion and inquire outside.
Everyone in Genius City knew Chen Nan. When he entered the ancient mansion earlier, many people gathered around the gate to watch. Now seeing him exit, many stepped aside to clear the path, knowing well that he was not to be trifled with. Just days ago, he had taken down the Qianyuan Holy Land, earning his reputation as a true harbinger of death!
Because everyone feared Chen Nan, no one dared to lie in response to his questions. Unfortunately, no one knew the whereabouts of the Kuang Clan Leader.
Thinking about it, it made sense. The Kuang Clan Leader's status was so prestigious; how could everyone possibly know his residence?
Chen Nan was piloting the warship, ready to leave Genius City when suddenly, two figures flew in from afar. Chen Nan saw clearly it was a man and a woman — the man wearing a white robe, handsome and dashing; the woman delicate and extraordinary, with icy skin and jade bones.
Between their brows, there were some resemblances.
Chen Nan stowed the warship away, leaping into the air to greet them: "Brother Tao, Lady Muxue, where have you two come from?"
Upon seeing Chen Nan, the Tao siblings were also taken aback.
"Didn't you return to the Martial World for matters? How are you here in Genius City?" The siblings stared at Chen Nan, full of suspicion.
Chen Nan laughed, "Left and came back again. Brother Tao, do you know where the Kuang Clan Leader is now?"
Tao Zui shook his head with a smile and said, "For that, you should ask Yun Chen!"
"Then do you know where Yun Chen is?"
"We just parted with her. According to her, she plans to return to the Kuang Clan." Tao Zui shrugged and smiled, "Originally, my sister and I intended to return to Taixuan Sacred Land, but because we have many fellow disciples in Genius City, we decided to go together."
Chen Nan nodded, "I see. Brother Tao, could you help and lead me to catch up with Yun Chen? I have urgent matters to discuss with their Clan Leader."
Tao Zui readily agreed, "Of course, no problem, but I should go into the city first, notify my fellow disciples, so they don't wait for me."
"In that case, thank you."
Tao Zui went back to the city, gave his instructions, and soon came out.
Chen Nan piloted the warship, with Tao Zui guiding, carrying both siblings in pursuit of Yun Chen's direction.
On the way, out of curiosity, Tao Zui started asking Chen Nan about the specifics of his journey.
Chen Nan, having spare time, recounted the Demon Realm's betrayal and the Heavenly People Clan's pincer attack entering the Martial World. Tao Zui was shocked upon hearing it, as a disciple of Taixuan Sacred Land, he knew some of the feuds between the Human Clan and the Heavenly People Clan.
"These beasts from the Demon Realm, they are not of our kind and ultimately unreliable," he exclaimed with a clenched fist.
Chen Nan focused on piloting the warship and said no more. Even though he despised those traitors from the Demon Realm, one shouldn't categorize everything with one stroke. After all, there were demons who leaned towards humanity as well.
Seeing Chen Nan remain silent, Tao Zui added, "So you're here in the Tao Realm to call for reinforcements?"
"Indeed."
Chen Nan nodded and said, "After the ancient great battle, most cultivators emigrated to the other Three Realms, leaving only a few top experts to guard the Martial World. Now, being beset from both sides, the senior experts had no choice but to send me to the Tao Realm for assistance."
"Then, come what may, you have to take me to the Martial World this time." Tao Zui insisted.
Chen Nan smiled, "I'm here for help, if you want to go, it's exactly what I hope for."
Just then, Tao Muxue's eyes twinkled with mischief, "Brother, are you going to the Martial World to help resist the demon clan or to find your dream lover?"
Tao Zui laughed heartily, "Why not both? Wouldn't that be even better?"
...
Yun Chen was piloting a Divine Ship to leave, while Chen Nan was chasing behind on another Divine Ship.
By rights, Yun Chen's Divine Ship and Chen Nan's were evenly matched in terms of grade, with no advantage in speed. However, Yun Chen, having no urgency for returning to the Kuang Clan, didn't unleash the ship's full speed. Naturally, Chen Nan pursued at maximum speed.
Thus, after pursuing for tens of thousands of miles, he finally caught up with Yun Chen above a vast lake.
Chen Nan charged forward to intercept. When he opened the hatch and met Yun Chen, she, like the Tao siblings earlier, rubbed her eyes, thinking she had seen incorrectly; Chen Nan had already left the Tao Realm, how could he return?
After some explanation, Chen Nan expressed his intent, asking her to take him to see Clan Leader Kuang Zhen Tian.
Yun Chen, being a heroine of her time, understood the seriousness of matters. She told Chen Nan to follow her. The two warships flew rapidly through the sky, heading eastward.
The residence of the Kuang Clan was a massive palace.
This palace was surrounded by walls, exceptionally grand, encompassing an area for hundreds of miles, several dozen times larger than an ancient emperor's palace.
With Yun Chen leading the way, Chen Nan and others smoothly entered the city, heading straight for the palace.
The city was filled with countless palaces, large palaces containing small palaces, and small palaces further containing even smaller ones, seemingly endless, all inhabited by members of the Kuang Clan.
Chen Nan could imagine the place where the Kuang Clan Leader resided was probably no different from an emperor's realm in the Mortal World.
With many twists and turns, after an unknown distance, they finally arrived at the most prestigious Qiankun Hall. Yun Chen pointed to the hall, "Wait here for a moment, I'll report to the Clan Leader."
The group nodded, and Yun Chen entered inside.
After just a few seconds, Yun Chen came out and invited Chen Nan in, but the Tao siblings could only remain outside.
Upon entering the grand hall, Chen Nan saw it adorned with various treasures, radiating brilliant lights and colorful auspicious clouds, with Clan Leader Kuang Zhen Tian sitting at a desk reading a book, its subject unknown.
"Greetings, Master Uncle." Chen Nan bowed respectfully.
Kuang Zhen Tian waved it off, saying, "No need for formalities. Chen Nan, your return, could it be that something happened in the Mortal World?"
Chen Nan nodded, "Master Uncle, it's a grave matter!"
Chen Nan recounted the events in detail. Kuang Zhen Tian's face turned serious upon hearing them.
The Demon Realm's betrayal and the Heavenly People Clan's invasion concerned the survival of the Human Clan, not a trifling matter!
"I will send out the signal to gather the sect leaders from all across the world in Genius City for discussions, instructing them to send their elite to support the Martial World." After speaking, Kuang Zhen Tian gave Chen Nan a glance and added, "Rest assured, no sect in the Tao Realm would dare refuse my orders."
Hearing this, Chen Nan felt reassured.
This Master Uncle was indeed worthy of being the Kuang Clan Leader, truly imposing! The entire Tao Realm must heed his command!
Chen Nan thought that as long as the Ancient Seven Strong could use the Primal Genesis Emperor's prohibition to keep the Heavenly People Clan beyond the Outer Domain, and with the Tao Realm's army's support, they should be able to resolve the crisis in the Mortal World, right?
