Dashing Student-Chapter 1163: A Hundredfold Repayment

Master Xuanming was furious and impotent. After calming down, he directly used a Communication Talisman to order all the disciples searching for Chen Nan to return.

There was no other way. All six direct disciples were killed by Chen Nan, and even many registered disciples died. They couldn’t all die at the hands of Chen Nan.

"I will repay today’s hatred a hundredfold!"

"Chen Nan, just you wait!"

Since advancing to the Nascent Soul Realm, Master Xuanming had never been so angry.

However, if he knew the person who had been toying with him wasn’t even Chen Nan, he might spit blood from anger.

"It should be about time. Chen Nan should have already escaped by now."

On the other side, Nie Xiaoyu appeared somewhat fatigued. After all, she had been the one leading Master Xuanming around during this period.

Lin Qingzhu approached and handed over a Seventh Grade Qi Replenishing Pill. These elixir pills were given to her by Chen Nan. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"Let’s hurry back, or else it will arouse suspicion."

For several days, Nie Xiaoyu had been impersonating Chen Nan, disrupting Master Xuanming’s judgment to create time for Chen Nan to escape.

"Alright, we’ve achieved our goal anyway."

Nie Xiaoyu nodded with a smile and returned to Yuantian Sect with Lin Qingzhu.

"By now, Senior Brother Chen should have already escaped, and finally, I can have some peace of mind."

Lin Qingzhu smiled. She was finally able to do something for Chen Nan, even though she hadn’t taken action in those days and had merely accompanied Nie Xiaoyu.

"Yes, but even without us, Chen Nan would have been fine. He promised to come boldly to fetch me, and he won’t break his word!"

Nie Xiaoyu’s eyes glimmered with anticipation. For her, cultivation was far less important than Chen Nan.

Seeing Lin Qingzhu’s envious expression, Nie Xiaoyu chuckled and said, "Don’t worry, I won’t forget you. We’ll leave together when the time comes!"

Though both were disciples of the Yuantian Sect, neither had any loyalty to it.

Nie Xiaoyu had been forcibly brought there, causing her separation from Chen Nan for a long time, while Lin Qingzhu saw through the nature of the Yuantian Sect during the disciple recruitment ceremony.

Their schemes against Chen Nan, and the persecution and targeting, along with Master Xuanming’s actions, made her deeply detest them.

She would be glad to leave Yuantian Sect if possible.

The two women shared hopeful smiles.

...

Twenty days passed in a flash. Although Master Xuanming didn’t send out more disciples to search for Chen Nan, he hadn’t given up. He placed bounties through both the All-Knowing and the Yama Hall.

Unfortunately, Chen Nan disappeared without a trace, like water into the sea, leaving Master Xuanming vexed.

Though he was a mighty Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, Chen Nan had escaped from him twice, a true humiliation!

However, Chen Nan was completely oblivious to Master Xuanming’s exhaustive efforts to find him.

His injuries had mostly healed, and finally leaving the inn, he was prepared to inquire about Luoshui City’s auction.

When he asked the innkeeper for directions to Luoshui City, the innkeeper looked at him as if he were a fool.

"Doesn’t the guest know, this is Luoshui City?"

"Ah?" Chen Nan was surprised. When he entered the city, he was too focused on healing to notice which city he had arrived in.

Such coincidence!

"Is the auction in the city real?"

The innkeeper quickly nodded and said, "Of course, it’s real. The City Lord hosts the auction, and it’s been held several times, each time showcasing top treasures."

"I see, many thanks."

Chen Nan cupped his hands and left the inn. Since the auction was in the city, he wasn’t in a hurry to leave and planned to explore the city thoroughly.

In this period, he hadn’t heard any news about Master Xuanming and Yuantian Sect, so he went to a teahouse to gather intelligence.

But before he could inquire, he realized the conversations around were all about Master Xuanming and himself.

One person’s words caught Chen Nan’s ear.

"You may not know, but Chen Nan not only escaped, he also counter-killed several of Master Xuanming’s disciples, forcing him to call everyone back."

"Even Master Xuanming’s six direct disciples were killed by Chen Nan. That boy sure holds a grudge."

Chen Nan’s lips twitched. His reputation was not that great, but when did he ever counter-kill Master Xuanming’s disciples?

God knows, this entire time, he was either running away or recuperating; the only one he killed was a greedy Yuantian Sect cultivator.

"Could Master Xuanming be using this matter to pressure me? For a cultivator, this method seems too crude... No, it can’t be that simple!"

Suddenly, Chen Nan thought of Nie Xiaoyu. He knew the girl would help somehow, but he didn’t expect such a perilous method.

If Master Xuanming caught her, Nie Xiaoyu would not only be accused of colluding with the enemy but could even face life-threatening danger. Thankfully, she was safe.

Knowing that Master Xuanming was still after him, yet had recalled all his disciples, Chen Nan’s safety greatly improved, reducing the fear of being discovered.

No wonder he hadn’t seen any Yuantian Sect cultivators for so long, they were recalled due to fear of death.

"Xiaoyu, well done!"

Chen Nan couldn’t help but praise, even though there was no definite news, he believed it was all Nie Xiaoyu’s doing.

Because besides Nie Xiaoyu, no one else would help him this much.

Sadly, there was no going back to Yuantian Sect. In the short term, he couldn’t see them again, so he needed to find a new target.

Having gathered the information he wanted, Chen Nan left the teahouse. Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a familiar figure in front, wearing a hat.

But as he tried to look closer, that familiar figure had disappeared into the crowd.

Chen Nan returned to the inn, quietly waiting for the auction to start.

Meanwhile, on the street outside, a young girl frowned and turned to look.

"Holy Daughter, what’s wrong?" asked a tall guard by her side.

The girl shook her head and smiled wryly, "Nothing, I must have seen wrong. He wouldn’t show up here."

After a few days, the city’s auction finally began. Chen Nan arrived early at the auction site, using a Flower Spirit Stone to enter.

As people gradually arrived, the auction officially started, and the surroundings became bustling. Everyone seemed to have something they wanted.

The City Lord Xiahou Yun personally hosted the auction, and with ease, clearly not for the first time.

"Thank you all for coming to my auction house. May the path of the immortals prosper for you all, and may you acquire what you desire today."
