"Do they really expect Chu Han to abolish his cultivation voluntarily? Would he agree to such terms?"
"But if Chu Nan's words are true, Chu Han abolishing his own cultivation is already too lenient for him."
The audience was in an uproar, utterly astonished.
The discussions around him made Chu Han's expression icy cold; he wished he could kill Chu Nan with one strike right then and there!
"Father..." Chu Han looked at Chu Mountain, hesitating to speak, deeply afraid that Chu Mountain might agree.
Chu Mountain took a deep breath, regretting his decision to spare Chu Nan's life back then, or things wouldn't be so dire now.
But he couldn't really kill Chu Nan now; after all, Chu Nan's current status had changed. He was the top disciple of the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect and a student of Chen Kaiyang.
If he were killed without cause, it would spell disaster for the Chu family.
Finally, Chu Mountain said coldly, "Chu Nan, causing havoc in the Chu family today and wanting to abolish the Patriarch's cultivation is simply outrageous!"
"But don't forget your veins flow with the Chu family's blood. We have repeatedly sought reconciliation, yet you persist relentlessly. Do you truly disregard the bonds of kinship?"
Upon hearing Chu Mountain's reprimand, Chu Nan replied disdainfully, "Say I disregard kinship? Did you ever regard it in the past?"
"Spare me your hypocrisy. If my conditions aren't met, then let's fight!"
Boom!
Chu Nan's cultivation erupted, and the aura of the ninth level of the Spirit Pill Realm spread like a tidal wave.
Everyone sucked in a cold breath, exclaiming, "Spirit Pill ninth level at sixteen years old. That's terrifying!"
"In all my years, I've never heard of a sixteen-year-old reaching the ninth level of the Spirit Pill Realm. If Chu Nan doesn't die young, his achievements will be limitless."
"The Chu family was foolish to drive Chu Nan away, missing a chance for family ascendancy."
"If what Chu Nan says is true, then the Chu family is short-sighted, fearing a genius from within might seize their status."
Chu Han showed anger and was about to act, but Chu Mountain stopped him, saying, "Stand aside, I'll handle this myself!"
Chu Mountain then looked at Chu Nan with a stern expression, "Chu Nan, you've forsaken the family and remain obstinately defiant. As your grandfather, I will expel you before all the Daoists of Cyan Mountain County!"
As the highest elder of the Chu family, killing Chu Nan this way would leave even Chen Kaiyang speechless.
Boom!
A cultivation of the fourth level of the Yang Wheel Realm exploded, with Chu Mountain's palm transforming into a massive mountain pressing down on Chu Nan.
Everyone around exclaimed, "We've long heard of Chu Mountain's fearsome strength. Today, it proves extraordinary indeed."
"Such power, aside from the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect and the Governor's Mansion, who can rival it?"
"Chu Nan is still young. How can he oppose Chu Mountain now? Why not wait a few more years?"
As everyone regrettably shook their heads, thinking this genius Chu Nan was about to be slain, an angry shout came from the sky, "Chu Mountain, you old beast! How dare you bully the young, trying to kill my disciple."
"Does the Chu family plan to perish today?"
Whoosh!
A sword light descended from the sky, directly striking Chu Mountain's flesh.
With a ripping sound, Chu Mountain staggered back, his chest slashed with a ghastly wound, and his formidable momentum vanished.
"Gah!" He vomited a mouthful of blood, reeling back.
Chu Han's expression changed as he worriedly called, "Father!"
Chu Mountain looked at the sky and said with difficulty, "Chen Kaiyang, you actually came in person."
At that moment, everyone was filled with trepidation, gazing in awe at Chen Kaiyang standing upon the void.
Throughout Cyan Mountain County, two individuals are the strongest.
One is the supreme ancient ancestor of the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect, and the other is the sect leader, Chen Kaiyang.
With the Cyan Mountain Sword Sect present, martial arts families of Cyan Mountain County must always bow down.
"Someone wants to kill my disciple. How could I not come?" Chen Kaiyang landed beside Chu Nan, and Chu Nan instinctively stepped back.
Chu Han trembled with fear. If Chen Kaiyang were to wreak havoc on the Chu family, who could resist?
Not even the prefect would dare intervene.
Chu Mountain stood up, his face pale, and said, "Chen Kaiyang, as a grandmaster admired by countless people, a man of great virtue, would you truly slaughter my Chu family here for your disciple?"
"If so, I, Chu Mountain, will offer my neck and let you execute me!"
Chen Kaiyang's expression froze. His status was too high to publicly engage in such acts.
Even if he were to act, it would need a justification.
He then looked at Chu Nan and said, "Good disciple, how should your master act? Do you need me to avenge you and kill them all?"
To everyone's surprise, Chu Nan shook his head and said, "What use is there in slaughtering them?"
"I merely want Chu Han to abolish his own cultivation, but now I've added a condition—the same must be done by Chu Mountain."
Chu Mountain's pupils shrank. Forcing him to abolish his Martial Wheel would be akin to demoting him to a Spirit Pill practitioner. How is that different from destroying the Chu family?
He looked at Chu Han, who understood and gritted his teeth, saying, "Chu Nan, isn't it only because of your master that you have what you have today? How about a one-on-one with me? If I lose, the entire Cho family is yours to command."
"If you don't agree, you're a coward!"
In this situation, seeking a solution depended on breaking Chu Nan.
Upon hearing this, those watching couldn't help but silently scold Chu Han for being shameless.
How could a Yang Wheel Martial Artist challenge a Spirit Pill practitioner and say such things? Chu Nan isn't a fool and won't agree.
Yet to everyone's surprise, Chu Nan gave a cold smile and said, "Do you think I'm as cowardly as you, picking on the weak? Very well, I was thinking the same."
"Allowing you to abolish your own cultivation is too easy. I want to personally sever your Martial Vein and shatter your Dantian. Only then will I feel satisfied!"
Gu Nianxue's face showed concern. Chu Han was a second-level Yang Wheel Martial Artist, posing a significant risk to Chu Nan.
Chu Han was immensely excited that Chu Nan actually agreed.
"Chu Nan, you have guts! Then life and death will be decided! If you die by my hand, Sect Leader Chen mustn't avenge you."
Chu Nan, knowing his intentions, said, "Don't worry, the one to lose will surely be you."
Chen Kaiyang frowned and said, "Chu Nan, are you confident?"
Chu Nan smiled and said, "Master, rest assured. Chu Han's cultivation is merely propped up by treasures, and I have my own methods. I won't send myself to my death."
Seeing Chu Nan's confidence, Chen Kaiyang was reassured and said, "If Chu Nan were to be killed, I, Chen Kaiyang, will hold no grudge against any of you. The Chu family need not worry."
Chu Han, overjoyed, said, "Fine, Chu Nan, since you seek your own death, you can't blame me."
From a distance, the duel seemed imminent. Everyone quickly cleared the area. A Spirit Pill against a Yang Wheel—a battle with no suspense. They couldn't understand why Chu Nan agreed.
"Chu Nan, you'll regret your decision just now!" Chu Han laughed wildly, and the terrifying aura of a Yang Wheel Martial Artist exploded.
Behind him appeared a green Martial Wheel, indicating he was a Yang Wheel practitioner, albeit the weakest level.
Yet, weak or not, a Yang Wheel is still a Yang Wheel. In everyone's eyes, Chu Nan still had no chance of winning.
