"Sun Chun, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"Go ask around, who in the whole Spirit Corpse Sect can I, Chen Ran, not offend!" Chen Ran let out a slight smile, completely perplexed by Sun Chun's panic.

Sun Chun was utterly convinced that Chu Nan was the Sect Leader's son, so he whispered, "Senior Brother Chen, Chu Nan's identity is not ordinary."

"His surname is Chu... The Sect Leader's surname is also Chu, he is the son of our Spirit Corpse Sect's Sect Leader!"

Having reached this point, Sun Chun had no choice but to reveal the big secret.

Chen Ran's expression froze for a moment before he burst into laughter, "Sun Chun, you're speaking nonsense again!"

"Just because Chu Nan's surname is Chu, you think he's the Sect Leader's son? You're really reaching."

"It's not even certain if the Sect Leader has descendants, yet you claim he's the Sect Leader's son."

Pattering Sun Chun on the shoulder, Chen Ran thought this guy was a bit silly.

Seeing Chen Ran's disbelief, Sun Chun argued, "Senior Brother Chen, I saw with my own eyes Chu Nan leaving Mount Ten Thousand Corpses with the Sect Leader, there's no way this is fake."

Chen Ran responded, "The Sect Leader is approachable; seeing a disciple in danger on Mount Ten Thousand Corpses and bringing him out is only natural."

"To judge him as the Sect Leader's son based on this, isn't it too arbitrary?"

Sun Chun was speechless; he certainly didn't want to be dragged into Chen Ran's potential downfall.

So he continued to argue, "Senior Brother Chen, Chu Nan has been here for less than ten days and ascended from the outer sect to the inner sect, also possessing that powerful spirit corpse, can a normal person do that?"

But Chen Ran was entirely indifferent to these points. "So what, there are countless martial artists in the Qin Kingdom; who dares say they didn't have some fortune?"

"Chu Nan just got a bit lucky, you mustn't be intimidated by others."

Seeing Sun Chun still wanting to dissuade him, Chen Ran directly said with a cold face, "Sun Chun, if you're truly afraid, just stand aside and watch."

"I want Chu Nan's spirit corpse no matter what, and no one can stop me."

"But when I give the spirit corpse to my father and he rewards me, don't blame me for excluding you."

Seeing Chen Ran's determination, Sun Chun had no choice but to give up, thinking to himself, "You can dig your own grave, I, Sun Chun, won't accompany you."

Having said that, Sun Chun retreated to the back of the crowd, observing coldly from not far away.

Chen Ran, however, let out a disdainful sneer, still keeping his gaze on the approaching Chu Nan.

Based on descriptions of Chu Nan's spirit corpse fights, he was certain that the spirit corpse was extremely powerful in life, likely a Cloud Sea Realm martial artist.

Chu Nan, having just joined, could already refine an upper-grade flying corpse, not due to extraordinary talent, but because the spirit corpse itself was inherently strong.

He thought if he could seize this spirit corpse for Chen Bo, it might be refined into a Hidden Corpse comparable to the Cloud Sea Realm.

By then, Chen Bo's status in the sect would rise again, and as Chen Bo's only son, his own status would naturally rise too.

Thinking of this, the anticipation on Chen Ran's face grew more intense.

He seemed to already envision the day he would wield influence in the Spirit Corpse Sect.

By this time, Chu Nan was already walking up to them, clearly sensing the hostility from these people.

But he did not back down, instead confronting Chen Ran and the others head-on.

Chen Ran took a step forward, stopping Chu Nan and saying, "Chu Nan... I've heard you were quite arrogant during your promotion to the inner sect arena."

Chu Nan glanced at Chen Ran, then calmly said, "Do you believe I can be even more arrogant?"

Chu Nan's composed demeanor left Chen Ran somewhat stunned, as he had never seen a martial artist more arrogant than himself.

Sun Chun, standing not far away, nodded silently.

Indeed, for Chu Nan to be so arrogant, he must have reliance; he must be the Sect Leader's son!

Thinking of this, Sun Chun began to silently mourn for Chen Ran.

"Chu Nan, truly arrogant!" Chen Ran shouted angrily, then said, "You seriously injured Yang Quan in the arena, you don't think you'll just get away with it, do you?"

The martial artists behind Chen Ran stepped forward collectively, trying to further pressure Chu Nan.

Chu Nan scanned them disdainfully; apart from Chen Ran being a Divine Light Realm martial artist, the others were merely Yang Wheel at best.

"What do you want to do?" Chu Nan mocked, staring at Chen Ran.

Chen Ran sneered, then said, "I heard you used an Enchanting Corpse to seriously injure Yang Quan. I feel that you're unqualified to possess that Enchanting Corpse. Hand her over, and I'll present her to Elder Chen Bo.

"He likes collecting various spirit corpses; if you offer her, not only will this matter be settled, but you might even become my junior brother."

The true motive revealed, Chu Nan instantly understood Chen Ran came for Lu Yao.

Not to mention whether he had the authority to give Lu Yao away, Lu Yao, being his greatest trump card, could not be handed over no matter what.

Moreover, Chen Ran in front of him did not have the qualifications to make Chu Nan retreat.

Knowing Chen Ran was not a good person, Chu Nan straightforwardly said, "Give my spirit corpse to Chen Bo?"

"Why don't you refine your mother into a spirit corpse and give her to him!"

As soon as he said this, even the wind seemed to stop.

Chen Ran froze entirely, never expecting Chu Nan's words to be so venomous.

This wasn't just about denying face, it was like pressing his face into a cesspit.

"How dare you, Chu Nan! Senior Brother Chen Ran is Elder Chen's only son, how can you humiliate him so?" One of Chen Ran's junior brothers shouted.

Chu Nan, somewhat surprised, yet not backing down at all, replied, "You're about to put a knife to my throat, why should I give you face?"

"Aaah!"

Chen Ran exploded with rage; never since his birth had he suffered such a great humiliation, the aura of a first-tier Divine Light Realm martial artist erupting instantly.

"Chu Nan, I'll kill you!" Then Chen Ran charged at Chu Nan, his massive iron fist striking fiercely at his chest.

The power of this punch was immense, perfectly showcasing the strength of a Divine Light Realm martial artist.

The people with Chen Ran retreated swiftly, confident in his prowess.

After all, Chen Ran was one of the few in Spirit Corpse Sect whose cultivation and corpse refinement were both strong. Even his father, Chen Bo, couldn't match him; how could Chu Nan contend?

A cruel smile appeared on Chen Ran's lips as if he were already picturing the scene where Chu Nan would be blown through the chest by his punch.

Bang!

The punch landed squarely on Chu Nan, yet he didn't budge an inch; there was no scene of him being pierced through the chest or sent flying.

"How could this be?" Chen Ran asked in disbelief, eyes wide open.

Chu Nan looked at Chen Ran with a light smile, saying, "Can't even throw a proper punch yet you claim to be so arrogant?"

"Let me show you how a punch should be thrown."

Boom!

Chu Nan threw his punch, landing directly on Chen Ran's face, sending him flying, blood gushing from his nose, spraying everywhere.

My God!

Everyone was utterly shocked; they hadn't even seen how Chu Nan threw the punch before Chen Ran was sent flying.

Sun Chun, not far away, was also horrified, thinking someone would appear to protect Chu Nan, not expecting Chen Ran to be no match for Chu Nan at all.
