Dashing Student-Chapter 1360: News of the Ruins

Chen Nan no longer wanted to continue speaking. Whether these people were from Golden Light Island or any other island, could they possibly be stronger than Master Canglan?

He had already offended Master Canglan, so why worry about these small fry before him?

As soon as he finished speaking, his body moved like lightning, suddenly appearing before the elder, and he threw a punch under the elder’s terrified gaze.

The demon’s shadow in the void behind him almost made the group of young nobles wet themselves, leaving their legs trembling.

With a dull thud, the once arrogant elder was punched away like a ragdoll, his body carving a deep trench on the ground.

A long trail of dust rose as Chen Nan turned and smiled at the remaining people, though to them, his smile was as terrifying as a demon’s.

"Go, we are no match for him. Bring the news back to the Island Master!"

The remaining cultivators exchanged glances and made their decision together. They suddenly flared their auras to temporarily resist Chen Nan’s Dragon Might, then grabbed the young noble and soared into the sky.

"Master, don’t let them go, otherwise they will definitely retaliate against Luoyue Island!" Zhong Ling urgently shouted.

Chen Nan looked at Zhong Ling with some surprise. He didn’t expect that during his absence, Zhong Ling had grown so much and now seemed more like a qualified Island Master.

"Don’t worry, they won’t get away."

With a flash of light in his hand, the Sun-shooting Bow appeared in his grip. He immediately drew the bow and set an arrow, and powerful mana fluctuations emerged on the bow and arrow.

"Shoot!"

With a low shout from Chen Nan, twelve Jiao Long Arrows shot out, transforming into dragon phantoms in the sky, roaring ferociously as they charged toward the fleeing group of young nobles.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The sky erupted like bloody fireworks. The cultivators hit by the Jiao Long Arrows exploded into bloody mist instantly, not even having time to scream.

This scene frightened the young noble so much that he wet his pants, his body stained with blood and flesh, trembling alone in the sky.

Where did this ruthless person come from? In a single move, all his bodyguards were dead. He had never seen such a fierce person!

Terrified, he saw Chen Nan beckoning to him from afar. Despite his fear, he slowly flew back.

With a thud, the young noble knelt before Chen Nan, wailing, "Please, spare me. I won’t come to propose again..."

Gao Xue stepped forward and kicked the young noble in the chest, "You still dare to speak?"

The young noble hastily got up from the ground, bowing repeatedly, "I won’t say it anymore, I won’t say it anymore."

A trace of disgust appeared in Chen Nan’s eyes as he coldly spoke, "Tell me, what is your actual purpose?"

The young noble hesitated for a moment, then spilled everything like beans from a bamboo tube.

His name was Lü Yi, and the Island Master of Golden Light Island, Lü Sheng, was his father.

He had come to propose marriage not only because he fancied Zhong Ling but also because their Golden Light Island cultivators had discovered a relic.

The island cultivators entered the relic to explore but suffered heavy losses, so they set their sights on Luoyue Island.

If Lü Yi married Zhong Ling, the cultivators of Luoyue Island would fall under their control, sending people to the relic would mean not sacrificing their own.

Upon hearing this, Gao Xue was furious and immediately started punching and kicking the young noble.

"Is your life precious and ours not? You wicked people, why don’t you just die?"

After venting for a while, Gao Xue stood up again, while Lü Yi had been beaten black and blue.

"Don’t kill him yet, let him take us to Golden Light Island," Chen Nan said slowly.

Gao Xue was startled, "Are you planning to..."

"Eliminate the roots completely, or Luoyue Island will be in danger," Chen Nan said calmly, as if discussing what to eat.

Zhong Ling and the others were shocked, wondering if Chen Nan’s methods were too brutal, insisting on extermination.

The Chen Nan returning from the battlefield seemed different, with a heavier killing intent.

But they also understood that Chen Nan was right; if they didn’t eliminate them, Lü Yi’s father would come for revenge, and they would be the ones suffering.

After a brief discussion, Li Songnian and a few others stayed behind to guard the island, while Gao Xue and Zhong Ling went with Chen Nan to Golden Light Island.

...

"Master, why have you come back? Are you leaving after this?"

Flying in the air with Chen Nan, Zhong Ling turned into a curious baby, endlessly asking questions along the way.

Even though she had the "Scripture of the Hidden Talisman" that Chen Nan taught her and had a fast cultivation speed, practicing "Myriad Phenomena Golden Core" slowed her down.

However, during Chen Nan’s absence, Zhong Ling’s cultivation reached the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment Realm, just a step away from entering the Nascent Soul.

This was all piled up with the resources Chen Nan left before he went.

Anyone cultivating the All Things Spiritual Root was like a Gold-devouring Beast, consuming resources at a rate that left Gao Xue and the others astounded.

"Of course, we have to leave, and I will take you all with me too."

"Huh? Why?" Zhong Ling’s big eyes blinked, her inner clarity and ignorance visible in her eyes.

"I’ve offended someone. If you don’t come with me, once they come after you, you won’t escape."

Gao Xue curiously asked, "Who did you offend? Maybe together we can find a solution?"

"The person I offended is known as Master Canglan, with a Nascent Soul Realm Ninth Layer Cultivation, Elder of the Righteous Alliance," Chen Nan replied calmly.

Gao Xue and Zhong Ling were so shocked their mouths dropped wide open, as if they could fit an egg, and the leading Lü Yi shivered, almost falling from the sky.

After all, it was Master Canglan, whom even they had heard of, an absolute powerhouse. That Chen Nan dared to cross him and could still return was simply miraculous.

Chen Nan smiled, not explaining further. He returned this time just to take Zhong Ling away; as for Gao Xue and the others, they could follow if they wanted or stay on the island if they preferred.

After all, his ties with Chen Nan weren’t deep, and Master Canglan shouldn’t involve innocent people.

"I see," Zhong Ling earnestly nodded, "If Master tells me to go, then I will go."

Shi Zhongsheng squatted on Chen Nan’s shoulder, squeaking like saying, "Whoever dares to hit you, I’ll fight them!"

Chen Nan chuckled, patting the little monkey’s head, and said to Zhong Ling, "Your Five Elements Spirit Root now just lacks Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire. Master brought it for you. Although it’s not highly ranked, you can use it for now."

"When you encounter higher-ranked fire, you can absorb that instead."

With that, he took out a flame, bright yellow, quietly burning in his palm—it was the Everlasting Flame.

Zhong Ling sensed the high temperature radiating from the flame, her face turning incredibly joyous, "Thank you, Master, I love it so much!"
