CHAPTER 888: CHAPTER 888: TRULY HEARTLESS

Chen Nan didn’t know that the news of him hunting the Thunder Wing White Tiger had already been spread by the Tang Family Brothers, and now many cultivators were flocking into Wuyin Forest intending to kill and plunder.

At this moment, he was being carried by Mo Yan, heading towards a place marked on the map where some spiritual medicine was located, which was one of the ingredients he needed to refine the Heavenly Demon Pill.

After the last battle, Mu Wanqing was no longer shy around Chen Nan and had become quite talkative, chattering beside him constantly.

"Chen Nan, do you really have no powerful background? Even the prodigies from major powers might not be as strong as you!"

Loose cultivators in the Cultivation World are considered the lowest existence; without sect backing, the cultivation resources they need are earned by themselves.

Therefore, geniuses rarely appear among loose cultivators, and if they do, they’re usually taken in by major sects.

But Chen Nan was an exception.

Chen Nan thought about how he had entered the small world for less than a year, mostly relying on himself, except for a period where he was stable at Qingshan Sect.

Yet it was also due to his personal efforts that Qingshan Sect showed signs of rising.

If anything was special, it was the Void Breaking Sword given by the Qingshan Sect patriarch.

Xu Man snorted coldly from the side. Though her gaze towards Chen Nan was filled with some admiration, her words were not very pleasant.

"Those prodigies with backgrounds probably have countless protective dharma treasures on them. Chen Nan might not be their match."

"But he is quite formidable."

Chen Nan, lying on Mo Yan’s back, smiled bitterly but agreed with Xu Man’s words.

Because being able to kill the Thunder Wing White Tiger was truly due to the array and talismans he obtained from others, especially the killing array and talismans from Liu Tong.

You should know that Liu Tong was not even a favored disciple under Master Xuanming; his favorite disciples were the top three.

Even so, he had an eighth-grade killing array and talismans, which could easily crush Foundation Establishment cultivators and help survive against low-level Golden Core Stage cultivators.

It was just due to being too careless, underestimating Chen Nan’s method, that led to his death.

Chatting away, they quickly reached the location of the spiritual medicine. From afar, they could see a patch of lush green grass, among which one plant was particularly special.

The leaves of the grass were round, with veins forming a unique pattern, resembling a landscape painting.

This was their target: the Embroidery Spirit Grass.

Of course, Chen Nan’s map also marked that the Embroidery Spirit Grass was guarded by a Foundation Establishment sixth-layer Black Water Mystic Snake.

Mo Yan put Chen Nan down, letting him lean against a large tree, then looked at Mu Wanqing: "Wanqing, check the surroundings. I’ve felt something off these past days."

Mu Wanqing nodded, took out several folded paper cranes from her storage bag, and gently blew on them. Instantly, the paper cranes seemed to come alive, slowly flying up.

During these days, Chen Nan had come to understand more about Mu Wanqing.

She came from a special family with a secret technique called "Spiritual Technique," a family secret that can give short-lived spirituality to inanimate objects.

Even powerful cultivators can use Spiritual Technique to create life forms with formidable strength!

Unfortunately, her family was too weak, and the secret technique was coveted, leading to their extermination, with Mu Wanqing being the sole survivor.

Outside, she rarely used the Spiritual Technique for fear of exposing her secret.

But using Spiritual Technique to simply give paper cranes some spirituality as scouts was still feasible and unlikely to expose her.

The paper cranes flapped their wings, flying off in all directions, and Mu Wanqing finally nodded to Mo Yan.

"Brother Chen, wait here. I’ll take care of that Black Water Mystic Snake and fetch the Embroidery Spirit Grass for you!"

Mo Yan smiled as he took out his giant sword, and Xu Man followed beside to assist, while Mu Wanqing stayed with Chen Nan to care for him.

At this moment, Chen Nan was like a porcelain doll, fragile and with cultivation fallen to the lowest, having no right to refuse any arrangements.

"Brother Mo, be careful. The Black Water Mystic Snake’s poison is potent; don’t get poisoned." Chen Nan still reminded him.

Mo Yan laughed heartily, thumping his bulging chest, saying, "Don’t worry, it’s just a stinky snake!"

Xu Man was somewhat displeased, snorting, "Humph, truly heartless!"

Chen Nan was helpless; Xu Man’s personality was too tsundere, even more so than Tang Zhirou, just smiling bitterly.

"Miss Xu, be careful too, don’t take unnecessary risks."

"Got it."

Xu Man responded casually, yet couldn’t hide a smile at the corner of her mouth.

Seeing Xu Man’s appearance, Mo Yan sighed deeply; doomed, the two women in the team had unusual feelings towards Chen Nan.

What, am I, Old Mo, really that lacking?

Jokes aside, Mo Yan and Xu Man didn’t dare to be careless, slowly heading towards the Embroidery Spirit Grass, while in the grass, a large black snake was twisting and slithering over.

The Black Water Mystic Snake’s poison was indeed potent, but its cultivation was only Foundation Establishment sixth-layer.

Mo Yan’s cultivation was even higher, and the hefty sword he wielded was incredibly heavy, striking the Black Water Mystic Snake down on the ground.

Xu Man, not to be outdone, gathered mana into her palm, striking out a burning hand seal that slammed hard onto the Black Water Mystic Snake.

Ever since seeing Chen Nan perform the Heaven-Burning Transformation, Xu Man had taken a liking to fire techniques, finding a fire technique from Zhao Xiaofeng’s storage bag to cultivate.

Now it seemed the cultivation results were quite good.

The Black Water Mystic Snake was over ten meters long, able to spit out pitch-black venom, relying on its hard scales to be troublesome among demon beasts.

Unfortunately, they faced Mo Yan and Xu Man, one hammering and the other burning, slowly suppressing the Black Water Mystic Snake.

Before long, the battle was over, Mo Yan stepped forward and chopped off the snake’s head with a sword, turning around to smile at Chen Nan.

"Brother Chen, it’s settled!"

Before they could rejoice long, Mu Wanqing’s suddenly changed expression: "Not good, Big Mo, someone’s coming towards us!"

"Moreover, they seem to be after Chen Nan, talking about wanting to snatch the Thunder Wing White Tiger..."

Mo Yan’s face changed quickly, collecting the Embroidery Spirit Grass, even leaving no time to handle the Black Water Mystic Snake’s body before planning to take Chen Nan away.

Currently, their team was missing two people, plus Chen Nan who was a burden, they couldn’t fight at all.

Yet Mu Wanqing’s face was pale.

"It’s too late!"

As her words fell, several figures appeared in their view.

When they saw Mo Yan and the others clearly, their faces lit up with joyful expressions: "Haha, truly found it effortlessly, we really found them!"
