Pingyuan County, Cyan Mountain Sword Sect.

Qingxuan Province is located at the edge of the Celestial Crossing Realm, while Pingyuan County is at the edge of Qingxuan Province.

Although it borders the vast Cyan Demon Mountain Range of the entire Qin Kingdom, the strength of Pingyuan County is considered average in Qingxuan Province.

Originally, in such a remote place, no matter the kind of conflict, it was unlikely to affect here.

But today's tranquility was broken by a group of people who suddenly barged into Pingyuan County.

"Young Master Huo Ba, we've arrived. This is the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect, where Chu Nan once practiced," one of the group introduced as they arrived at the entrance of the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect.

Judging by their attire, these people were actually disciples of the Cyan Profound Martial Academy.

Patriarch Zhang Lei of the Zhang family, accompanied by people from the Cyan Profound Martial Academy, slowly escorted a tall young man up the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect.

Upon closer inspection, it could be seen that the tall young man's features were somewhat similar to Huo Lingjun, extremely handsome.

The tall young man Huo Ba had a touch of anger at the corner of his mouth, saying: "Chu Nan hurt my sister, this matter will never be settled peacefully, whether he's alive or dead, none of those related to him will be spared!"

"And one more thing, are you sure that Zhi Qingge is also at the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect?"

Huo Ba's terrifying aura spread out, and Zhang Lei broke into a cold sweat, feeling terrified at heart.

Zhang Lei hurriedly said, "We've traced Chu Nan's movements and can confirm that Chu Nan and Zhi Qingge know each other, and someone has seen Zhi Qingge at the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect."

Upon hearing this, Huo Ba's face showed excitement, he licked his lips and said, "Good, very good!"

"For decades, the Zhi family was also among the strong clans in the Imperial Capital, although now in decline, they still have great value."

"Only the Zhi Family Martial Artists understand the Secret Realm of Pingyuan County better. As long as we capture her this time, our Huo family is sure to gain a huge advantage."

"The young master is right, and I've heard that Zhi Qingge is also an exceedingly rare beauty~" Zhang Lei said with a wicked smile.

Huo Ba licked his lips, then said, "The remnants of the Zhi family, conquering them will be quite interesting..."

Then Huo Ba strode forward, heading to the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect.

At this moment, inside the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect.

The Sect Leader and elders were gathered in the main hall, the entire sect was engulfed in an extremely oppressive atmosphere.

The news that Chu Nan had severely injured the Imperial Capital's strong clan martial artist Huo Lingjun had long spread throughout Qingxuan Province.

Upon hearing this, Chen Kaiyang and the others were greatly shocked, everyone became worried, provoking the strong clan of the Imperial Capital, even a hundred lives would not be enough to kill!

He didn't know whether to be proud or worried for Chu Nan.

Zhi Qingge was also among the crowd; not long ago, she successfully joined the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect with Chu Nan's recommendation letter, and with her Yang Wheel Cultivation became a sect elder.

After this period of cultivation, her cultivation had already reached the ninth level of the Yang Wheel, her status only below Sect Leader Chen Kaiyang and the Supreme Elder.

Upon hearing that Chu Nan had severely injured the strong clan martial artist, Zhi Qingge was also very surprised.

In the main hall, there was a hubbub of voices, everyone didn't know how to deal with this matter, fearing the strong clan would come to ask for accountability.

However, Zhi Qingge deduced from the news that the strong clan had arrived in Qingxuan Province, that the Secret Realm at Ghost Camel Peak in Pingyuan County was about to open, and she could resolve the demon blood within her in that Secret Realm.

Yet faced with the crisis that could fall upon the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect at any time, Zhi Qingge hesitated.

She was originally a person who valued relationships, and since the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect took her in, she found it hard to abandon them in this time of peril.

"Sect Leader, why don't we abandon the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect and hide in the Cyan Demon Mountain Range, and come back when the trouble averts," an elder suggested.

Chen Kaiyang looked hesitant, as the Sect Leader he was responsible for the safety of the sect.

For martial artists, enduring the harsh elements was one thing, but abandoning the sect's generations of family business, he really couldn't bear it in his heart, fearing he would become the sinner of the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect.

"This matter needs thorough consideration~" Chen Kaiyang said, conflicted.

An elder scolded angrily, complaining, "It's all because of this Chu Nan, why did he have to provoke the strong clan, and now it's come to this state."

Zhi Qingge immediately rebuked upon hearing this, "Elder Wan Qing, please watch your words!"

"Is someone putting a knife to your throat that you wouldn't resist and let them kill you?"

"The only party at fault in this matter is the Huo family. If they hadn't dealt with Chu Nan first, how would today's situation have happened?"

Upon hearing this, Wan Qing immediately said dissatisfied, "I understand the reasoning, but can I not complain a little about matters concerning the sect's safety?"

"Chu Nan caused trouble and hid away, leaving us to bear the consequences, didn't he?"

"I see you and Chu Nan are wearing the same pants, otherwise why would you defend him in this situation, have you two not already been intimate?"

Upon hearing this, Zhi Qingge's face turned red with anger, and she furiously said, "Wan Qing, are you looking for death?"

Seeing the hostility between both sides, Chen Kaiyang lightly coughed and said, "We are all elders of the sect, whatever disputes there are, discuss later, for now, what should we do?"

Zhi Qingge glared at Wan Qing and said, "A sect lost can be rebuilt, but if people are gone, they cannot be brought back."

"The Cyan Demon Mountain Range is extensive, if we disperse into it, unless a Cloud Sea Realm expert comes personally, it's not easy for them to catch us."

Chen Kaiyang found reason in this and was about to nod, but then Wan Qing said: "I think it's inappropriate."

"In my opinion, we should first capture Zhi Qingge, this woman just met Chu Nan not long ago and must know where he is."

"Use her to force Chu Nan to show up, and then bind Chu Nan and hand him over to the Huo family, the crisis of the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect will naturally be resolved."

As his words fell, a hint of sinister malice flashed in Wan Qing's eyes.

He had just become an elder not long ago when Zhi Qingge joined the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect with Chu Nan's recommendation letter.

Immediately upon seeing Zhi Qingge, he fell for her, and thus commenced a frantic pursuit only to be rejected by her.

Therefore, Wan Qing always resented Zhi Qingge, waiting for a chance to seek revenge on her.

However, Zhi Qingge's strength was too great for him to act, but today revolving around Chu Nan was an excellent opportunity.

Upon hearing this, a glint of killing intent passed through Zhi Qingge's eyes. If not for the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect's grace in taking her in, she would've already slain Wan Qing with a sword.

Chen Kaiyang smiled wryly and said, "Wan Qing, if your method is impractical, don't mention it again."

Zhi Qingge's Yang Wheel is at the ninth level, if it came to a fight, who in the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect could compete with her, Wan Qing's idea is utterly foolish.

Faced with such a dire situation, Chen Kaiyang ultimately made the decision: "Since things have come to this, we will abandon the sect and hide in the Cyan Demon Mountain Range, all responsibilities will lie with me alone!"

Seeing Chen Kaiyang finally make this decision, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhi Qingge also planned to escort the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect disciples into the Cyan Demon Mountain Range, then she would go to Pingyuan County to find an opportunity to enter the Secret Realm.

But just then, a disciple rushed in hurriedly and said, "Sect Leader, Sect Leader, something bad has happened!"

"Someone has barged in outside, they..."

Before the disciple could finish, a lightning bolt pierced through their throat, with a thud, blood splattered, and they fell silent forever.
