The three of them entered the Yao Heaven Arena, watching the front with great vigilance.

"Looks like someone was just here?" Lin Yian eyed the fresh knife marks on the rock walls, speaking in a low voice.

Chu Nan nodded, then said, "We've been in this Cyan Profound Secret Realm for many days without encountering the Cyan Profound Martial Academy or those Noble Martial Artists. I suppose they must have entered this Yao Heaven Arena earlier."

When Lin Feng learned that the Zhang family's warriors were here, fear immediately appeared on his face as he said, "What should we do? If You Hanyang said they are collaborating, can we deal with both forces?"

Although he was in the ninth stage of the Yang Wheel, he was the weakest among the three and felt the least secure.

Chu Nan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have eight puppets of Divine Illumination Realm's ninth stage. Just one of them could sweep everything away."

Kui Guang's guarantee and these eight puppets were the reasons Chu Nan dared to enter this Yao Heaven Arena.

If no one at the Cloud Sea Realm appears, any Sword Puppet alone could crush them all!

Lin Feng's eyes lit up, and his heart settled greatly.

The group then continued onward, soon spotting a light not far ahead.

Upon reaching the light, the scene inside startled Chu Nan. A giant demon beast's corpse lay on the ground.

Its body and head were separated, and fresh blood continuously spurted from the laceration.

Even in death, a very heavy aura emanated from the demon beast's body.

Chu Nan slightly frowned, saying with a bit of gravity, "This demon beast was likely in the third stage of the Yang Wheel while alive."

Taking a closer look at the demon beast's severed neck, the wound appeared charred black, clearly slain with a strike of fire attribute spiritual power!

"Fire attribute spiritual power, a single strike to slay a demon beast in the third stage of Divine Illumination Realm. There's no one but Huo Lingjun who could do this," Chu Nan immediately deduced who was behind it all.

At the same time, his wariness of Huo Lingjun increased further.

With Chu Nan's current cultivation, let alone dealing with a demon beast in the third stage of Divine Illumination Realm, even slaying one in the first stage was difficult.

Yet Huo Lingjun could slay a third stage with the second stage, showing her extraordinary strength.

"With my strength alone, I'm definitely not Huo Lingjun's match right now." Chu Nan quickly concluded.

Lin Yian bitterly said, "All of this should have been mine. If she hadn't taken my physique, I would have already reached Divine Illumination Realm!"

She pouted, eyes filled with anger, holding a grudge against what Huo Lingjun did years ago.

Only Lin Feng was relaxed, saying, "Why worry, Brother Chu? You have puppets with the power of a ninth-stage Divine Illumination Realm. No matter how strong Huo Lingjun is, can she beat a ninth-stage Divine Illumination Realm?"

Chu Nan nodded, then said, "Let's keep going. We're probably not far from encountering them; be careful."

Out of caution, he summoned a Sword Puppet and inserted a yuan stone into its body. If it doesn't fight, this yuan stone can sustain the Sword Puppet's actions for a long time.

During these days of exploring the Cyan Profound Secret Realm, they had used up a lot of yuan stones, with less than two hundred left. To save, Chu Nan usually inserted them one by one.

The Sword Puppet then took the lead, and the three of them left the chamber they were in.

Just as they were about to reach the next chamber, the Sword Puppet at the front suddenly spread its arms, blocking in front of Chu Nan, and said, "Master, be careful!"

Boom!

A Wind Blade descended from afar, landing directly on the Sword Puppet, erupting into a brilliant spark.

Seeing this, Chu Nan and the others stood on high alert, sticking closely together, eyes fixed ahead.

"Young Master was right, you've come after all!"

"This puppet is tough. Without it, that strike would have seriously injured you all."

As the voice dropped, a young martial artist holding a sword walked out from the darkness, his gaze on Chu Nan and the others filled with a mocking intent.

Behind him followed six or seven figures, all martial artists of the seventh to eighth stage of the Yang Wheel.

These people glared ferociously, excitedly watching Chu Nan.

Lin Yian recognized the two and immediately introduced, "It's Zhang Feng from the Zhang family. He's at the ninth stage of the Yang Wheel, second only to Zhang Guangyao among the new generation of the Zhang family!"

Reaching the ninth stage of the Yang Wheel by thirty is an exceptional talent, both in the Cyan Profound Mansion and Imperial Capital.

The Sword Puppet said at this moment, "Master, do you need me to take action?"

Chu Nan shook his head and then said, "No need; I alone am enough to handle him."

Saying this, Chu Nan stepped forward, his gaze fixed on Zhang Feng with interest, sensing the presence of Wind Martial Intent in the spiritual power from Zhang Feng's attack on the Sword Puppet earlier.

This meant Zhang Feng had already comprehended Wind Martial Intent. Currently, Chu Nan's understanding of Wind Martial Intent was just a step away from a breakthrough; perhaps this time he could make progress.

Buzz, the Blood Pattern Sword glimmered with a dark red hue, and Chu Nan's battle intent surged.

But Zhang Feng showed disdain as he said, "So you're Chu Nan, the one who killed Zhang Baitian and Zhang Mingxuan?"

Hearing Zhang Feng's words, Chu Nan was somewhat surprised. He had tried his best to eliminate witnesses back then but unexpectedly was discovered. There must have been some who slipped through the net.

However, Chu Nan didn't care, instead openly saying, "Correct. They sought to kill me, so me killing them was only natural."

Chu Nan's candor caught Zhang Feng by surprise, and he soon sneered, "No matter who you are, anyone who kills members of my Zhang family must pay the price!"

"Could it be that only you can kill others, and others cannot kill you?" Chu Nan's eyes showed killing intent as he bluntly questioned.

Zhang Feng replied in a matter-of-fact tone, "Indeed, how could someone like you compare to us?"

"An ant from the Commandery City of such low status should be a slave to us, yet you dare question me?"

His eyes showed no concealment of his disdain for Chu Nan's identity, with his sense of superiority completely ignoring others.

Chu Nan shook his head at this. He was already used to such people, and their only ending was death!

"Since that's the case, then die with your arrogance."

Without exchanging more useless words, Chu Nan launched himself toward Zhang Feng at extreme speed.

"You think you're worthy of making me act personally?" Zhang Feng sneered. His strength far exceeded those who previously hunted Chu Nan. Although Chu Nan killed them, Zhang Feng did not see him as his match.

Moreover, it wasn't just him blocking here!

"Everyone, attack together. Whoever kills him, I'll give them a top-grade Spirit Martial!" Zhang Feng immediately ordered.

As his words fell, the seven or eight martial artists behind Zhang Feng excitedly charged at Chu Nan. These individuals were all seventh to eighth stage of the Yang Wheel, and jointly, they had the chance to slay even a ninth stage!

Martial Wheels erupted, dissipating all the surrounding darkness, crushing toward Chu Nan like destroying dry wood.
