Chu Nan took the Ghost Concealment, feeling a surge of joy in his heart.
In the Cyan Profound Secret Realm, he almost killed Huo Lingjun, and the Huo family, upon arriving at the Cyan Profound Mansion, were likely searching for him.
With this mask, he could disguise his identity, making it more valuable than those three hundred essence stones.
"Thank you, Sect Leader!" Chu Nan expressed his sincere gratitude.
Chu Lingshan nodded, "If you're ready, you should leave. The Teleportation Array is prepared, and you can be transported to the province closest to Qingxuan Province. You'll be back soon."
Since there was no Teleportation Array in Qingxuan Province, Chu Nan could only use the array to get to the nearest place to the Cyan Profound Mansion before continuing on to it.
Chu Nan bowed and then left the main hall.
Afterward, he did not linger and used the Spirit Corpse Sect's Teleportation Array to reach the Dianyang Province Mansion, closest to the Cyan Profound Mansion.
He then set off from Dianyang Province, disguising his appearance, heading straight for the Cyan Profound Mansion.
After breaking through to the Divine Illumination Realm, Chu Nan's flying speed had increased dramatically, turning what used to be a journey of more than ten days into just three or four days.
Finally, with virtually no sleep or rest, Chu Nan managed to return to the Cyan Profound Mansion.
However, today's Cyan Profound Mansion was vastly different from the one before he was swept away by the space turbulence...
The streets were filled with unfamiliar Martial Artists, all with high cultivation, mostly Divine Light Realm Martial Artists.
Compared to other provinces, Qingxuan Province was a very weak one, making the sudden appearance of so many Divine Light Realm Martial Artists quite unimaginable.
These new Martial Artists were all lavishly dressed, with arrogant expressions.
They looked at everything in the Cyan Profound Mansion with disdain, as if it were a rundown, unmanaged village.
In a roadside tavern, a young man in white, looking somewhat innocent and handsome, was drinking tea while observing the passing Martial Artists on the street.
Who could it be but Chu Nan?
Disguised, his current appearance left no trace of his original self, making him look like an ordinary Yang Wheel first-level Martial Artist.
While deeply concerned about Lin Yian and the others, he did not recklessly head to the Mansion Master's residence.
After all, that place was likely occupied by the Strong Race, and he needed to gather accurate information before taking action.
Chu Nan casually summoned a servant, handing him a gold note, "Little brother, what's happened recently in the province that brings so many strong outsiders?"
"Sir, judging by your appearance, you must have just returned from a long journey; otherwise, there's no way you wouldn't know." The servant, with keen eyes, made a judgment at a glance.
Chu Nan nodded with a smile, "That's right, I was on a Sect mission and had just planned to return to the Battle Academy."
"Returning to the Battle Academy?" Upon hearing Chu Nan's words, the servant was immediately shocked, "Now is really not a good time to return to the Battle Academy."
"Why is that?" Chu Nan asked, looking curious, considering the Battle Academy's strength was not weak.
The servant whispered, "The Huo family and the Zhou family, strong races from the Imperial Capital, have come with Cloud Sea Realm experts, taking over both the Mansion Master's residence and the Battle Academy."
"Under Huo family's protection, the Battle Academy is now dominated by Zhang family's Martial Artists. Any disobedient disciples and elders are killed, and Martial Artists from various counties have been directly driven out of the Cyan Profound Mansion."
Chu Nan frowned, not expecting the situation to be this severe. He quickly asked, "What about the Mansion Master? How can the Zhang family be so rampant without any intervention?"
"The Mansion Master?" The servant sighed, "He cannot even protect himself, so how could he intervene?"
Chu Nan's expression froze, hearing the news he least wanted to hear.
"Isn't the Mansion Master the head of the province? How could he not protect himself? That's impossible!"
The servant lowered his voice, "Sir, you may not know, but after the Huo family from the Imperial Capital arrived, they demanded the execution of Chu Nan for offending the Strong Race!"
"The Huo family even exterminated the Lin family, capturing both the Mansion Master and his only daughter, reportedly imprisoning them in the Mansion Master's residence."
"Now, the Huo family's young master is stationed with guards, and they say he even intends to make the Mansion Master's daughter his slave..."
"But no one knows where Chu Nan has run off to; if not for him, the Mansion Master's family wouldn't be in such a dire situation..."
"Sir, speaking of Chu Nan... huh? Where did the gentleman go?"
Chu Nan left the tavern, hatred boiling within him, shocked by the Imperial Capital's Strong Race's ruthlessness.
Huo Lingjun had initially wronged Lin Yian by seizing her special physique. Even though she ended up severely injured, she hadn't died.
The Huo family, seeking revenge, directly exterminated the Lin family.
Compared to the Huo family, the Lin family was nothing more than ants. Was it necessary for such a powerful Imperial Capital Strong Race to offend them?
The Huo family was likely keeping Lin Haoyang and Lin Yian to lure him out.
Even so, Chu Nan knew their situation was grim, intensifying his hatred.
Chu Nan resisted the impulse to storm the Mansion Master's residence for a rescue, as it was fraught with danger due to the presence of two Strong Races and Cloud Sea Realm Martial Artists.
Rushing in recklessly would likely be suicidal.
Right now, it was crucial to gather more information before making a move.
Furthermore, Chu Nan was puzzled about why the Zhou family was present alongside the Huo family, supposedly to avenge Huo Lingjun.
The simultaneous appearance of two Strong Races from the Imperial Capital in the small Cyan Profound Mansion suggested something unusual.
Chu Nan continued to gradually change his appearance and gather information from crowded places, eventually piecing together a lot of information.
The Huo and Zhou families brought Cloud Sea Realm experts to the Cyan Profound Mansion. However, after the Huo family exterminated the Lin family and occupied the mansion, those experts quickly left.
Currently, the Battle Academy was managed by the Zhang family on behalf of the Huo family, while only a young master of the Huo family and a few guards remained at the Mansion Master's residence.
From these findings, Chu Nan had some hypotheses.
The Huo and Zhou families were likely in the Cyan Profound Mansion for more than just avenging Huo Lingjun. They must have been focused on something more significant.
Avenging Huo Lingjun and exterminating the Lin family might have been incidental to their true intentions.
This led Chu Nan into deep thought, speculating that the appearance of such opportunities in the Cyan Profound Mansion might have drawn even Cloud Sea Realm experts, suggesting something invaluable was at stake.
"First, I must go to the Mansion Master's residence and rescue Lin Yian and the others, then inquire about the Strong Race's intentions."
"Opportunities in the Cyan Profound Mansion aren't for just anyone to seize."
Chu Nan clenched his fist, having devised a plan.
...
Slowly, the sky darkened, enveloping the entire Cyan Profound Mansion in darkness, with only the faint glimmer of starlight in a few places.
Taking advantage of the dark, Chu Nan's figure flitted across the rooftops, steadily approaching the Mansion Master's residence.
Having grasped the Wind Martial Intent, Chu Nan could leverage the wind to enhance his flight speed and muffle the sound of his movements.
Like a phantom, Chu Nan crept towards the Mansion Master's residence, poised to take lives within.
