Lurking not far from the Mansion Master's residence, Chu Nan secretly observed, discovering that the entire mansion was heavily guarded.

Dozens of guards patrolled in all directions, each with a cultivation in the Yang Wheel Realm.

Even the guards were in the Yang Wheel Realm, truly terrifying for a strong race in the Imperial Capital.

However, Chu Nan was now a martial artist in the third layer of the Divine Illumination Realm, and with the concealment of night and his own incredible speed, he effortlessly evaded the guards and infiltrated the mansion.

The mansion was large, but mostly shrouded in darkness, and the air had a faint smell of blood.

Chu Nan's expression was cold; he knew this was the blood of the Lin family's martial artists.

His sea of consciousness trembled as his spiritual sense surged outward to explore all life around him.

Though rumors said the Cloud Sea Realm martial artists had left, Chu Nan, out of caution, still decided to use his spiritual sense to investigate.

"Great, there are indeed no Cloud Sea Realm martial artists!" Chu Nan was internally pleased, and his spiritual sense continued to probe, quickly locking onto the tallest and brightest building at night.

This was once where Mansion Master Lin Haoyang resided, now occupied by an usurper.

Sinking his spiritual sense into it, Chu Nan discovered numerous martial artists within the room.

Sitting in the main seat was a young man, his expression wild, face cold, and cultivation impressive.

He looked to be under forty but already possessed the third layer of the Divine Illumination Realm, showcasing the strength of the Imperial Capital's strong race.

The young man drank wine crazily from a cup with one hand while the other roamed incessantly over a beauty beside him.

Below, over a dozen beauties sang and danced to entertain the young man.

Outside the room, there were also guards ever-vigilant, including Divine Illumination Realm martial artists.

Observing the young man, Chu Nan surmised he was likely in charge of the mansion now.

If he wanted to know where Lin Yian and the others were held, he'd have to target this man.

What astonished Chu Nan most was seeing a familiar face here, the beauty next to the young man.

Zhang Baimei from the Zhang family!

Zhang Baimei served the young man with a smile, making it clear the Zhang family had fully pledged allegiance to the Huo family, becoming its lackey in Cyan Profound Mansion.

"Young Master Huo Feng, what do you think of the songstresses I found for you today?"

"They're beauties I carefully selected from the Battle Academy, talented and virgins too~"

Zhang Baimei, leaning close to the young man, said alluringly.

The young man drank the wine in his cup at once, touching Zhang Baimei's face, "Beauty, you're very thoughtful. Tonight, I'll let you experience what I'm capable of!"

"Young Master Huo Feng, you tease~" Zhang Baimei beamed.

Though Huo Feng was merely from a collateral branch of the Huo family, the Zhang family was no match and thus courted him with all they've got.

To win his favor, Zhang Baimei not only offered herself but also brought all the beauties from the Battle Academy, willing or not, to satiate him.

She aimed to bind Huo Feng completely, hoping he'd elevate the Zhang family.

Huo Feng understood Zhang Baimei's intentions and was pleased.

In the Huo family, he couldn't be so indulgent, but it was entirely different here in Cyan Profound Mansion.

Suddenly, Zhang Baimei showed a sinister smile and then said, "Young Master Huo, I've brought another beauty for you today, though she's a bit rebellious, so she can't dance for you."

Huo Feng's eyes instantly brightened, "Prettier than these women?"

Zhang Baimei nodded and clapped her hands.

The dancers withdrew, and then several Zhang family martial artists entered, dragging in a bound young girl, tossing her to the floor.

Huo Feng, seeing the bound girl, almost couldn't take his eyes off her, drooling, "Good, good, she's even better than Bai Mei!"

Though a bit displeased, Zhang Baimei smiled: "Young Master Huo, her name is Zheng Yao, from the same sect as the Chu Nan you're looking for."

Recalling what happened with Chu Nan, Zhang Baimei's heart was full of hatred, but she couldn't take revenge on him.

So she resorted to capturing Zheng Yao, a member of the same sect, as a form of retaliation.

Huo Feng tossed aside his cup and approached Zheng Yao, "Such a pitiful beauty, she'll keep me company tonight."

Zheng Yao glared at Huo Feng, her gaze fearless as she cursed, "You bastard, I'll die before I submit, dream on!"

Huo Feng, rather than being angered, was delighted, "A fiery spirit? Great, great, I love taming wild mares."

"I'll train you well, to make you my slave."

Zheng Yao's lips trembled, her eyes red.

Although her face showed anger, fear had long taken her heart.

Shortly after the Cyan Profound Secret Realm collapsed, the Huo family came to the Battle Academy seeking Chu Nan, and she, along with Jiang Yixing and other Cyan Mountain Sword Sect disciples, planned to flee.

Most were caught and killed, and she was captured by Zhang Baimei and sent to Huo Feng, facing impending humiliation.

She longed to live, unable to die.

Huo Feng took out a bottle with a wicked grin, speaking to Zheng Yao: "Beauty, this is an elixir I spent many elemental stones in the Imperial Capital to acquire."

"Just one will plunge you into endless agony; seeking the antidote, I'm sure you'll beg me."

"By then, I believe you won't refuse anything I ask."

Zheng Yao's eyes widened, unable to hide her inner terror, she shook her head frantically trying to escape, but Huo Feng was slowly approaching.

Zhang Baimei relished the scene.

Huo Feng opened the bottle, slowly taking out a green elixir, intending to gradually feed it to Zheng Yao.

Bam!

At that moment, the door was violently kicked open, and a white figure swiftly appeared in the room, easily slaying Huo Feng's guards.

Finally, grabbing Zheng Yao and pulling her away from Huo Feng.

Chu Nan looked at Huo Feng and sneered: "Are martial artists from the Imperial Capital all scoundrels like you?"

Huo Feng stepped back alarmed, demanding harshly: "Who are you, daring to barge into my room?"

"Guards, gather here, kill him!"

Chu Nan heard and his eyes flashed with disdain, casually tossing a sphere: "Your guards? I think you'll never see them again."

Underfoot, Huo Feng saw the sphere, realizing it was his strongest Divine Illumination Realm martial artist!

"You... killed them?"

He was shocked; those guards were right outside, the strongest with second-layer Divine Illumination Realm cultivation, no one in Cyan Profound Mansion could have silently killed them.

Zhang Baimei was terrified, blankly staring at the white-clothed young man, inexplicably feeling familiarity yet unrecognizable.

Zheng Yao, placed down by Chu Nan, hid trembling behind him, "Thank you, comrade, let's flee, there are other martial artists here, they will notice soon and surround us!"
