In the blink of an eye, two crow demons became headless ghosts.

The third crow demon saw his brothers die one after another and shouted in heartbreak, swinging his ghost head blade towards the weaker Chen Nan.

Although Chen Nan had already transformed, he was still only in the Earth Penetrating Nine Heavens realm, appearing weak compared to them.

But this crow demon never expected that this seemingly weak guy was not as easy to deal with as imagined. As the ghost head blade slashed down, Chen Nan did not want to entangle with it anymore and directly activated the Listed Words True Mantra. The illusionary shadow of the Heavenly Stele representing strength emerged, making him stand as stable as Mount Tai.

He horizontally wielded the Phoenix Wing Mace in his hand, pouring enough power into it, and with one sweep, struck towards the left soft spot of the crow demon.

The crow demon was scared out of his wits at the sight.

He was about to slash at Chen Nan, but Chen Nan did not defend at all and instead swung the mace to hit him.

The crow demon understood very well that his ghost head blade was a short weapon, not as long as the opponent's Phoenix Wing Mace. If he did not defend, he would surely suffer losses, so he had no choice but to withdraw the ghost head blade and slant it leftwards, chopping onto the Phoenix Wing Mace.

"Clang"

A loud noise echoed, and the crow demon felt his arm go numb, almost being unable to hold it.

He was about to catch his breath when suddenly, Chen Nan flipped over and struck down towards his head with a move of Shattering Heaven and Earth.

The crow demon, helplessly, could only raise his blade to block.

As a result, the two weapons collided, the ghost head blade was shaken off and flew to the ground, and the Phoenix Wing Mace fiercely landed on the crow demon's shoulder, chopping off his entire left arm. Chen Nan swung the Phoenix Wing Mace again, ready to attack, but then saw a flash of sword light, and the crow demon's head flew off, falling into the sea.

Without a doubt, it was Liu Ziyuan who slashed with that sword.

The headless corpse of the crow demon fell into the sea, and Liu Ziyuan caught up, reaching for its dantian and extracting a jet-black demon core.

"What's the use of this?" Chen Nan asked.

Liu Ziyuan tossed the demon core to Chen Nan, saying, "Thank you for your help, it's yours. This is the primordial pill of the demon clan, which we call the demon core. It's the condensation of their entire power, similar to the nascent soul of a cultivator."

"I see."

Chen Nan understood and tossed the demon core back to Liu Ziyuan: "You better keep it, I have other things to ask for your help."

Liu Ziyuan chuckled and asked, "What is it? As long as I can do it, I won't refuse."

"Did Tiantian return to the illusion realm? If she did, I would like you to take me there." Chen Nan said.

Liu Ziyuan shook her head, "I'm afraid you'll be disappointed, she hasn't returned."

Not returned!

Chen Nan began to worry again, if Liu Tiantian hadn't returned to the illusion realm, where could they be?

"I still want to go to the illusion realm, maybe during the time you were away, they have returned." Chen Nan said.

Liu Ziyuan shook her head with a bitter smile, "It's impossible, the illusion realm has been completely sealed, those inside cannot come out, and those outside cannot enter, completely isolated from the outside world."

"How could this be?" Chen Nan said in shock.

"The demon clan learned of the existence of the Liu family's illusion realm. After attacking the mortal world, the demon clan's supreme expert immediately rushed to the illusion realm to seize the sacred body of our ancestor, aiming to obtain his senior's cultivation technique secrets."

"Fortunately, when the ancestor created the illusion realm back then, he laid countless defensive formations, preventing the demon clan supreme from entering the illusion realm in a short time."

"Our family head, who is Tiantian's father, used this time to allow everyone above the Control Realm to leave the illusion realm through secret paths and guard the mortal world, leaving the rest inside, then activating the sealing left by the ancestor."

"This sealing of the illusion realm is the ancestor's strongest seal. Once activated, it can only be undone by the ancestor's resurrection, extremely secure."

Chen Nan was shocked after hearing this.

He never expected that so many things had happened in the Liu family's illusion realm.

Regarding the events of the Liu family ancestor, he also knew a little. When he came to the Liu family to seek the Water of Life as a condition of exchange, he fed his blood to revive the sacred body of the Liu family ancestor and thus gained part of his inheritance.

Unexpectedly, the first thing the demon clan supreme did when attacking the mortal world was to seize the remains of the Liu family ancestor.

It seems this ancestor was indeed extraordinary back then. Otherwise, his absolute skills wouldn't be so enviable to the demon clan's supreme expert.

Seeing Chen Nan in a daze, Liu Ziyuan asked, "Now that chaos is everywhere, what are your plans?"

"Find people."

Chen Nan couldn't help but be anxious when he couldn't find any of his wives.

Liu Ziyuan asked, "Do you have a target?"

Chen Nan shook his head helplessly and said with a bitter smile, "Aimlessly, purely searching randomly."

"Since you have no target, why don't you come with me to rescue people? Maybe you'll find the ones you are looking for." Liu Ziyuan said with a smile.

Chen Nan frowned, "Rescue people?"

"That's right, I saw several sect members being captured by the demon clan. I was tracking them when I unexpectedly encountered these three crows, who were quite frivolous in their speech, so I fought them in anger."

Chen Nan seemed to see hope and quickly asked, "Among these sects, is there a Sky Sword Sect?"

Liu Ziyuan scratched her head, "I overheard those demons talking while following, and it seemed there was indeed a sect called Sky Sword Sect."

"Finally found it!"

Chen Nan was a bit excited. Since there was a Sky Sword Sect, Gongsun Yudie should be here, right?

Now Chen Nan was both happy and afraid. Happy because there was news of Gongsun Yudie's whereabouts, afraid because he didn't know if the demon would harm her.

Thinking in his heart, Chen Nan asked, "Do you know what these demons are capturing them for?"

"Not clear for now, but definitely nothing good," Liu Ziyuan said very affirmatively.

"Then quickly lead the way and continue tracking them."

Liu Ziyuan gave him a look and smiled, "What's the matter, is it because there's someone you are looking for in the Sky Sword Sect?"

"That's right, a friend who went through hell and high water with me."

Chen Nan could only say this, how could he say there was someone in there who was the mother of his child!

After all, Liu Ziyuan was at least nominally Liu Tiantian's aunt, it's best to be careful with his words.

"Seeing you so nervous, I knew it was more than just an ordinary friend." Liu Ziyuan said while pointing east, "I saw them head this way, let's speed up and follow."

Chen Nan nodded and pulled her hand to his side.

Liu Ziyuan was startled and quickly withdrew her hand, ready to glare at him, when Chen Nan pointed down and said, "My ship is fast, just show the way."
