Chu Nan felt no emotional ripple over killing Feng Luo; he reached out with one hand to grab the opponent's Storage Bag.

After forcibly asserting ownership, he discovered many Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills related to Sword Dao inside.

There were even texts on the comprehension of Sword Intent.

Chu Nan thought to himself: "My Sword Intent should be improved, perhaps this Infinite Sword Sect can bring me considerable benefits."

After collecting Feng Luo's Storage Bag, Chu Nan looked over at Zhi Tianping's side.

The actions of the Second Heaven expert were clean and swift; despite these people's desperate pleas, it was to no avail, and they were turned into meat paste by Feng Luo in the blink of an eye.

In the blink of an eye, Chu Nan resolved the crisis of the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect.

Everyone from the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect, including Lin Haoyang, stared at Chu Nan as if looking at a monster.

At the same time, their hearts were filled with emotions, overwhelmed.

Especially Chen Kaiyang, who never expected that the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect could produce a Cloud Sea Realm Martial Artist!

At this moment, Chu Nan's status in the minds of the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect's people was akin to that of a deity!

"Chu Nan, you've finally returned. It's been only two months, how did your strength become so formidable!" Eventually, Lin Yian stepped forward to speak first.

Chu Nan replied with a smile: "I was fortunate to gain some opportunities, that's all."

His words were relaxed; however, only those who personally experienced it would know the level of danger Chu Nan faced within the Zhi Family Secret Realm.

It is, after all, the oldest force currently in the Celestial Crossing Realm, the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, where any slight mishap could result in an eternal disaster for Chu Nan.

Upon seeing Chu Nan's smile, Lin Yian couldn't help but shyly grin.

With Chu Nan's Cultivation enhancing, Lin Yian increasingly felt a sense of security from him, making her momentarily afraid to make eye contact, worried about revealing some abnormality.

Jiang Yixing and Zheng Yao also greeted Chu Nan at this moment.

Not seeing him for a while, they found that Chu Nan had matured significantly compared to them; his entire presence exuded the awe-inspiring air of a strong person, commanding respect without anger.

Chu Nan greeted the familiar faces, especially showing great respect to Chen Kaiyang, although he was merely a Yang Wheel Realm Martial Artist.

"Chu Nan, you actually killed Feng Luo; it seems my position as the Spirit Corpse Sect Leader should be replaced sooner!"

Suddenly, a loud laugh was heard from outside the door, as Chu Lingshan, bringing a group of elders from the Spirit Corpse Sect, entered the hall.

"Sect Leader!" Seeing Chu Lingshan, Chu Nan's face showed signs of joy.

Chu Nan wouldn't be where he is today without Chu Lingshan's help; without the Spirit Corpse Sect, even passing the Heaven-Shaking Secret Realm would have been difficult.

"Indeed, you have truly grown into a formidable force." Chu Lingshan gazed at Chu Nan, his expression showing emotion.

Recalling that a few months ago, when he first met Chu Nan, he was merely a Yang Wheel Martial Artist; now, however, he has already slain someone as powerful as Infinite Sword Sect Leader Feng Luo, becoming an existence beyond him!

Then, Chu Lingshan looked at Zhi Tianping respectfully, saying: "Greetings, Senior, thank you for lending your assistance in defeating the Spirit Corpse Sect."

Zhi Tianping casually waved his hand, saying: "Don't be so polite. I acted solely for Chu Nan; if you truly wish to thank me, arrange a few battlefields for me to unleash!"

Chu Lingshan's mouth slightly twitched; he noticed Zhi Tianping's thirst for killing was extraordinarily massive.

In fact, Chu Lingshan had already brought the Spirit Corpse Sect's people for aid, but upon seeing Chu Nan and Feng Luo confronting each other, they held back from intervening to observe Chu Nan's strength, secretly gathering intelligence on Feng Luo from afar.

If Chu Nan couldn't manage, they would have collectively acted to slay Feng Luo.

Unexpectedly, Chu Nan defeated Feng Luo; no matter where this matter is reported, it will evoke disbelief, appearing surreal.

Chu Lingshan said: "Rest assured, Senior, several Sects at the mountain's base have yet to retreat, ensuring you can indulge in slaughter!"

Zhi Tianping, a cultivator of the Ninth Heaven, commanded Chu Lingshan's utmost respect, maintaining an exceptionally deferential demeanor.

At this moment, Chu Nan inquired: "Sect Leader, do you know what force stands behind this Sect Alliance?"

Finally, Chu Nan posed the question he was most concerned about; in truth, he harbored significant conjectures.

Chu Lingshan pondered slightly, his demeanor solemn as he stated: "According to the Sect's agents, the force behind this Sect Alliance is likely the Strong Clan of Imperial Capital, the Huo Family, possibly sending a Ninth Heaven cultivator!"

Chu Nan wasn't particularly surprised by Chu Lingshan's response; instead, he exhibited a "just as expected" expression.

In the Heaven-Shaking Secret Realm, despite having clashes with the Zhou Family and the Royal Family, they were not to the point of inevitable death struggles.

But the Huo Family was different!

Huo Mingxian of the Huo Family once followed Chu Nan's mother, having returned from the Heavenly Balance Realm as a martial artist.

Chu Nan suspected Huo Mingxian might know some secrets about him, such as the Treasure Blood, and the parent's treasured relics.

All these could provoke the Huo Family's greed.

Especially the Treasure Blood, something even figures like Lu Yao, terrifying as they are, prioritize—Huo Mingxian possibly witnessed his birth, knowing the secrets of the Treasure Blood isn't surprising.

"This time, unless we've dealt them a harsh blow, this Sect Alliance won't relent. Does the Sect Leader have any thoughts?" Chu Nan looked towards Chu Lingshan.

Chu Lingshan glanced at Zhi Tianping before speaking: "Between ourselves, thanks to the Heaven-Shaking Secret Realm, the Spirit Corpse Sect's strength has long ignored Sect Alliances led by the Infinite Sword Sect."

Then, with a light wave of his hand, numerous strong Hidden Corpses appeared before Chu Nan.

Upon focusing his eyesight, Chu Nan found, to his surprise, that most of these Hidden Corpses were Cloud Sea Realm Martial Artists who perished in the Heaven-Shaking Secret Realm.

Thus, it seems, Spirit Corpse Sect's gains in the Heaven-Shaking Secret Realm are immensely substantial.

"The Spirit Corpse Sect's only concern is the Strong Clan Huo Family's Ninth Heaven cultivator; however, with Senior present, that worry is nonexistent!" Chu Lingshan said respectfully, glancing at Zhi Tianping.

Though he doesn't know the identity of the formidable figure before him, Chu Lingshan is certain that Zhi Tianping stands by his side.

Zhi Tianping nodded, eyes filled with hatred, saying: "The Imperial Capital Huo Family contributed significantly to the destruction of my family in the past, let me claim some interest this time!"

Zhi Tianping's aversion towards the Strong Clan from the Imperial Capital surpasses even Chu Nan's.

After all, the Zhi Family was once a high and mighty Strong Race, one of the top-tier powers in the Celestial Crossing Realm, yet due to apprehensions from the Royal Family and other Strong Races, they met their demise, relegated to hiding within a small Secret Realm in Mosen Province.

Zhi Tianping was born within the Zhi Family Secret Realm, vowing revenge and restoration from a young age, aiming to bring the Zhi Family back to the Imperial Capital.

Unfortunately, plagued by the Demon Blood hazard, he remained in seclusion post-breakthrough to the Second Heaven, unable to fulfill his vow.

Now, following Chu Nan away from the Zhi Family Secret Realm, the sight of Strong Clan martial artists presents him with an unmissable opportunity!

Chu Lingshan watched the hatred blazing in Zhi Tianping's eyes, continuously speculating about his identity, understanding that over the years, numerous families have been annihilated by Strong Clans.
