Within just a few breaths, a black-robed Gu Master at the Golden Core Stage had fallen at Chen Nan’s feet, deeply embedded in the soil, with arcs of electricity jumping on his body, twitching occasionally.

With a thought, Chen Nan’s Void Breaking Sword flew out abruptly, silently piercing into the black-robed man’s body, crushing the golden core and then bursting out from him.

After swiftly dealing with a Golden Core Stage cultivator, Chen Nan turned around, his gaze shifting back and forth between the female Gu Master and another Golden Core Stage Gu Master.

This gaze made them feel uneasy, causing goosebumps to rise, and cold sweat to break out on their foreheads from the tension.

Just at this moment, the cultivators led by Noige and the old priest finally arrived, without a word they joined the battlefield, dealing with those at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Noige came to Chen Nan’s side, being a Golden Core Stage cultivator himself, he naturally did not fear the black-robed men.

"This is bad!"

The female Gu Master hovering in mid-air saw the allies from Xiu Yun Village arriving, and her expression turned sullen.

She was even more apprehensive of Chen Nan, especially after seeing him take down the Golden Core Stage Gu Master with precision and ruthlessness, it seemed like it wasn’t his first time doing such things.

Could it be that killing a Golden Core Stage cultivator was easy for him?

"This person is too dangerous, fall back, let someone stronger come!"

The female Gu Master instructed, not waiting for a response, she turned to leave, abandoning her subordinates.

But how could Chen Nan let her escape, a flash of lightning from behind, and he was already in mid-air.

Noige adeptly released Gu insects and entangled the final black-robed Golden Core Stage man.

"Humph, after all, you’re just a Foundation Establishment Stage ant, how could you catch up with me!"

As the female Gu Master fled, she secretly felt relieved, but suddenly sensed a shadow looming over her.

Looking up, she saw a huge Pill Furnace descending toward her.

Holding the Pill Furnace, who else could it be if not Chen Nan?

"How can you fly in mid-air?"

The female Gu Master was incredibly shocked, suddenly seeing the wings of lightning behind Chen Nan, immediately the Pill Furnace came crashing down.

With a loud bang, like swatting a fly, the female Gu Master fell from the sky, blood streaming from her forehead, plunging heavily into the ground.

Chen Nan swooped down, the Pill Furnace came crashing again.

But this time, Chen Nan felt as if he hit a solid wall, the Pill Furnace shook out of his hand.

Focus revealed the blood-stained female Gu Master standing up, behind her loomed a huge virtual shadow of a Heavenly Silkworm.

"Nine Tribulation Celestial Silkworm?"

Chen Nan was startled; no wonder his attack didn’t work just now.

Without needing to summon the Gu, she could let the power of the Nine Tribulation Celestial Silkworm descend, indeed the black-robed people were colluding with the Nine Tribulation Celestial Silkworm.

Though hard to believe, the King Gu was originally the Guardian God of the Heavenly Border, yet now it was harming believers, spreading the Immortal Epidemic, but Chen Nan could confirm the relationship between the black-robed people and the King Gu.

"Kid, do you realize your insignificance now? The power of Lord King Gu has descended specifically to kill you!"

The female Gu Master shouted maniacally, her blood-smeared face making her look like a ghost.

But just then, behind Chen Nan, a massive figure appeared.

That figure filled with authority, upon appearing, made the female Gu Master unable to breathe, eyes filled with terror.

Because that virtual shadow was... a dragon!

The dragon shadow roared, soared through the clouds, and bit down on the Heavenly Silkworm shadow, sharp claws tearing it apart!

Before the Heavenly Silkworm shadow faded, its crimson eyes were staring fixedly at the True Dragon shadow.

Chen Nan patted the little snake’s head, naturally aware it was all little snake’s doing.

Upon sensing the aura of the Nine Tribulation Celestial Silkworm, the little snake became extremely excited, as if a challenger had found its target.

This seemed to be the legendary "King not seeing King."

At this moment, the female Gu Master was scared silly, stumbling backward, looking at Chen Nan as if seeing a ghost.

"King Gu? You possess King Gu?"

"Impossible, impossible!"

She was completely unaware that Chang Qing had already reached behind her.

With a ripping sound like tearing cloth, the female Gu Master’s pupils gradually dispersed, looking down, she saw a black-armored centipede piercing her chest.

Even the golden core within was crushed along!

"You’re arrogant, but still died in my hands!"

Chang Qing raised her eyebrows triumphantly, flinging the black-armored centipede, scattering blood droplets.

The female Gu Master died with her eyes open, her body falling directly to the ground, kicking up dust.

At this moment, she had horrific wounds on all four limbs, nearly rendering them useless, yet even so, she insisted on killing the female Gu Master herself.

It shows how vengeful she was!

Chen Nan helplessly twitched the corners of his mouth, looking at Chang Qing’s miserable state, he took out a Healing Pill from his storage bag, flicking it into Chang Qing’s mouth.

"What did you feed me?"

Chang Qing’s face changed dramatically, hastily clutching her throat.

"Poison! To poison you dead!"

Chen Nan said irritably, not turning back, rushing toward the last remaining Golden Core Stage black-robed man.

Chang Qing smiled faintly, sitting weakly on the ground and eventually lying down.

"Humph, I don’t believe you!"

The remaining Golden Core Stage black-robed man was losing ground, under Chen Nan and Noige’s siege, it didn’t take long to follow the predecessors’ fate.

The Golden Core Stage cultivators were completely wiped out, the remaining Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators were powerless, swiftly slaughtered without sparing anyone.

Though Chen Nan and his allies arrived fairly timely, Xiu Yun Village still lost three cultivators, while the rest were injured.

After consuming Healing Pills, Chang Qing’s wounds healed considerably, she struggled to her feet and walked over to Chen Nan’s side.

"The rooms have been prepared for you all, enter the village."

While waiting for Chen Nan’s arrival these few days, aside from organizing patrol teams, Chang Qing also had many rooms cleared out, allowing some to stay indoors.

As for the others, they had to set up tents and then build houses.

The old priest and Noige turned back, bringing everyone hiding at a distance.

Each of them was travel-worn, yet their eyes shone brightly.

After arranging everything, Chen Nan finally looked at Chang Qing.

"Take me to meet the other two priests."

Though they killed the attacking black-robed people, Chen Nan knew their retaliation wouldn’t stop, next time perhaps stronger black-robed individuals would come.

Thus he needed stronger allies.

Chang Qing led Chen Nan to the priests’ room, the Drum Master lying on the bed revealed a smile upon seeing Chen Nan.

"You must be Chen Nan that Qing’er spoke of? You finally arrived."

But upon seeing Chang Qing’s bloodstained clothes, his tears couldn’t help flowing.

"It’s all my fault, letting you get hurt."

"I am so powerless!"
