Dashing Student-Chapter 1341: Righteous Path Prodigy

Master Canglan’s expression remained calm, but within, his heart rippled.

He had thought Jue Mingzi was just a small fry easily crushed, yet unexpectedly, he not only gained Master Wuyue’s favor but also became the Dao companion of Master Hanyue.

If he wanted to make a move against him now, it would require careful consideration.

Seeing his disciple gnashing his teeth in resentment, Master Canglan sighed softly; he always knew his disciple had feelings for Liu Hanyue.

After all, a powerful and beautiful cultivator would naturally attract men’s covetous eyes behind the scenes.

What’s more, it was an enemy who became Liu Hanyue’s Dao companion, which made it even more impossible to resolve.

"Alas, foolish child."

At this moment, Yi Mingzi felt immense hatred, initially intending to kill with a borrowed knife by letting the Demon Sect cultivators finish off Chen Nan, but who knew it became an opportunity for Chen Nan to rise to fame.

The thought of Chen Nan still being alive, and receiving the Righteous Alliance’s high-level favor because of this, made him wish he could die.

"The Demon Sect people are simply useless; so many of them, yet they couldn’t kill one Jue Mingzi?"

His gaze fell upon Liu Hanyue. She was the woman he first fancied, intending to propose after achieving Nascent Soul, but unexpectedly someone else snatched her midway.

Seeing Liu Hanyue’s happy demeanor, he couldn’t control imagining Chen Nan and Liu Hanyue’s intimate scenes in his mind, which was more unbearable than killing him.

"Damn it, Jue Mingzi you deserve to die!"

He hurried to his master’s side, whispering his grievance, "Master, I beg you, you must kill Jue Mingzi; he is my sworn enemy!"

"I will help you with this, don’t worry." Master Canglan nodded, like a doting elder indulging a child.

"Thank you, Master!"

Yi Mingzi quickly thanked him, for if Master Canglan took action, success would surely be assured.

"Jue Mingzi, just you wait, Liu Hanyue is mine, and everything of yours is mine, too!"

After dealing with Chen Nan’s reward, Jiang Wuyue spoke of the next matter.

"The Demon Clan has been very active lately, wanting to ignite a war between us and the Demon Sect to reap the benefits afterward. We cannot let them succeed."

Yang Xiaotian quickly agreed, "Indeed, the disputes between us and the Demon Sect are internal Human Clan affairs, but the Demon Clan has sinister ambitions; they are not our kind, their hearts will always differ, we must eliminate them."

"By the way, it was Jue Mingzi who reported the Demon Clan matter first; otherwise, we would still be in the dark."

"Hmph," Qian Shouyi suddenly snorted coldly, "Are you saying that without Jue Mingzi, our Righteous Alliance would fall for the Demon Clan’s schemes and be destroyed?"

"After all, he’s just a Golden Core Realm cultivator; don’t overstate his importance!"

Yang Xiaotian and Liu Hanyue were slightly surprised as they looked at Qian Shouyi, no one expected the usually kind Qian Shouyi to speak like this.

"Did my Dao companion offend you before?" Liu Hanyue coldly asked.

Qian Shouyi spoke, but it was because Chen Nan had previously killed his disciple, though there was no evidence, he had already believed Chen Nan did it.

He had even decided to send Chen Nan to the battlefield, never expecting that Chen Nan would not only survive but also emerge prominently.

However, regarding Liu Hanyue’s question, he didn’t answer directly, "I just think, after all, he’s merely a Golden Core Realm cultivator, even if he has some usefulness, there’s no need to elevate him so highly."

"Otherwise, wouldn’t we all be worthless?"

Qian Shouyi and Master Canglan exchanged a glance, as if finding a kindred spirit; both of them wanted to kill Chen Nan.

"Heh, worthless is worthless, but the merits my husband earned are indeed solid." Liu Hanyue snorted coldly. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Jiang Wuyue felt a headache seeing this, wondering how a mere Golden Core Realm cultivator could almost cause Nascent Soul True Men to quarrel?

"Enough, you noble True Men, arguing over such a trivial matter, do we still want our Righteous Alliance’s reputation to spread outside?"

"Jue Mingzi has meritorious deeds, grant him fifty thousand more contributions; he can exchange them for what he wants in the treasure vault, and also, lift the Soul Locking Talisman on him. It’s really not fitting to control such an outstanding talent with a talisman."

"As for his affairs, let’s set it aside for now; we need to discuss how to deal with the Demon Clan!"

Only then did Liu Hanyue relent, and Qian Shouyi stopped dwelling on the issue; though the storm seemed to have subsided, in reality, undercurrents were surging.

...

On Ten Thousand Treasures Island, the reinforcements from the Righteous Alliance finally arrived, yet they received a less-than-expected welcome.

With the reinforcements arriving, Chen Nan knew it was time for them to leave, hence he went to bid farewell to Xin Zi.

"Alas." Xin Zi sighed. Although knowing it’d be hard to retain Chen Nan, hearing he’d leave still brought a sigh.

"Sir, please never forget, you are still the consecrator of Ten Thousand Treasures Island. Remember to return for your Spirit Stones."

"Rest assured."

Chen Nan patted his shoulder lightly and agreed with a smile.

Under the island cultivators’ farewells, Chen Nan and Ning Yu’s group of five started their return journey, and everyone was in high spirits along the way.

After all, although all the credit of this battle went to Chen Nan, as members of Chen Nan’s team, they also received benefits, and even substantial rewards.

"This time back, that Yi Mingzi shouldn’t be able to trouble us again, right?" Deng Yunhe suddenly said.

Zheng Yunzhou nodded, "It’s hard not to think he’s connected to this matter, especially since it was too coincidental that when we arrived, the Demon Sect’s army appeared."

"If he still wishes to act against us, it would become overly obvious."

Chen Nan didn’t know what Yi Mingzi would do next, but he knew that eliminating Yi Mingzi was necessary; otherwise, he’d remain too dangerous. However, achieving this required meticulous planning.

Not to mention Yi Mingzi’s master being Master Canglan, whose cultivation is formidable and who staunchly protects his disciple.

Thus this deal required not only detailed planning but must also be kept secret from everyone, even Ning Yu and the others.

They spent two days slowly on their return journey, but upon arriving at the camp, they were all dumbfounded.

Because at that moment, many cultivators ran out from within the camp, gathered there, each with an excited look, seemingly there to welcome them.

"He’s back, Jue Mingzi is back!"

"Wow, is he Jue Mingzi? So handsome and strong, I want to bear him a child!"

"The alliance has already announced it, formally listing Jue Mingzi as one of Righteous Alliance’s prodigies, simply formidable!"

The crowd was abuzz with discussions, especially the female cultivators, who couldn’t wait to throw themselves before Chen Nan.

After all, if they could form a Dao companionship with such a potentially great prodigy, the future benefits would naturally be innumerable.

Being a prodigy of the Righteous Alliance was not merely a title, it represented a certain status, though not as high as the alliance elders, it was above ordinary cultivators.

Even relying on the prodigy title could earn preferential access to alliance resources; the rewards were plentiful.
