Peerless Dragon Sovereign-Chapter 541: Back to the Starting Point

Chu Nan didn't hesitate and said bluntly, "I want to know all about my parents' past, and my mother's whereabouts."

"You were my mother's maid. You were the last person to see her. You must know!"

For Chu Nan, finding his mother was the most important reason for coming to the Imperial Capital, even more crucial than improving his Cultivation.

All the answers lay with Huo Mingxian.

Huo Mingxian wasn't surprised by Chu Nan's second request. From his various behaviors, she had already guessed that he knew part of the truth from that time, but not the full picture.

"I don't know your mother's specific whereabouts either, but I can tell you clearly, your mother is somewhere in the Heavenly Balance Realm."

"If you want to find her, go to the Heavenly Balance Realm. With her Cultivation, she must still be alive."

Receiving this answer, Chu Nan didn't show much surprise on his face.

Back at the Chu family, he had obtained Ye Jiao'e's Life Token and was sure she was alive.

From Feng Jiming's mouth, he already knew she went to the Heavenly Balance Realm, but he still felt disappointed not to get a specific location from Huo Mingxian.

"Then tell me everything about the Heavenly Balance Realm."

"And the background of the Sword Demon..."

Chu Nan must go to the Heavenly Balance Realm. The Sword Demon was not dead and would return sooner or later.

Chu Nan must learn as much as possible about this terrifying enemy who perished with his father before he returned.

What Chu Nan didn't expect was that Huo Mingxian shook her head, filled with dread: "These things, I can't tell you."

"Regarding the Heavenly Balance Realm, I have no right to speak. Even if you kill Huo Jiantang, I can't tell you."

Huo Mingxian's expression was solemn and determined, as if matters concerning the Heavenly Balance Realm were a taboo she couldn't touch.

Chu Nan furrowed his brow, clutching Huo Jiantang's neck with one hand and slightly squeezing.

He didn't want to hear any excuses or reasons; Chu Nan only wanted to know the truth!

The unconscious Huo Jiantang showed a pained expression on his face, his life already like a candle in the wind, becoming even dimmer in this moment.

Seeing this scene, Huo Mingxian could no longer suppress her worry.

She quickly said, "Chu Nan, stop!"

"I can't tell you what you want to know, but I know where you can learn it."

Chu Nan didn't speak but increased the force in his hand, as if he could crush Huo Jiantang in the next instant.

"Cyan Demon Mountain Range, go to the Cyan Demon Mountain Range!"

"That was the battleground when the Sword Demon attacked, and your father's place of demise."

"Deep in that place resides an invisible ruler of the Celestial Crossing Realm. It participated in that war and has the status and power to know all the truth."

"Go there, find him, and you'll know everything you wish to know!"

Huo Mingxian said urgently, her tone filled with earnestness, fearing that Chu Nan wouldn't be able to resist and would kill Huo Jiantang directly.

Yet Chu Nan was slightly stunned to hear Huo Mingxian's words.

What does she mean by an invisible ruler of the Celestial Crossing Realm? Could it be that the Cyan Demon Mountain Range really hides an ancient and powerful presence?

At this moment, Chu Nan was filled with countless thoughts, not expecting that in pursuit of the truth, everything would return to the starting point.

"Who is the person you're talking about?" Chu Nan asked.

Huo Mingxian candidly replied, "The Cyan Demon, find the Cyan Demon, and you'll know everything!"

"The Cyan Demon..." Chu Nan chewed over the name carefully, then said, "Alright, now for my final request."

"I want you to personally take me and Huo Nianfang, along with Zhi Tianping, out of the Huo family."

"Once I'm completely safe, I will naturally return Huo Jiantang to you."

To Chu Nan's final request, Huo Mingxian wasn't surprised. She replied coldly, "Okay, I will agree to this last request as well."

"But let me make it clear, if you don't keep your promise and harm Huo Jiantang's life, even if you're hiding in the Ancestor Sect, I'll find a way to kill you!"

Huo Mingxian spoke with certainty, as if she could indeed accomplish what she said.

Chu Nan chuckled lightly and said, "I, Chu Nan, value promises the most, and I will never harm Huo Jiantang's life."

After saying this, he glanced at Huo Nianfang, who nodded and silently followed behind him.

At this moment, she had thousands of words she wanted to say to Chu Nan, but given the situation, it would be better to leave the Huo family safely.

Huo Mingxian opened the Secret Realm and led Chu Nan and Huo Nianfang away from there.

"Hahaha!"

"Huo Mingxian, didn't you claim Chu Nan would surely die? Look at what happened, he came out safely!"

Zhi Tianping laughed arrogantly at seeing Chu Nan return safely, mocking Huo Mingxian.

Huo Mingxian's expression turned incredibly ugly, wishing she could kill Zhi Tianping on the spot to vent her anger.

Yet she didn't dare, fearing that if Zhi Tianping really died, what if Chu Nan killed Huo Jiantang?

Even if she could avenge Huo Jiantang later, she couldn't bring him back to life, could she?

Ultimately, Huo Mingxian endured silently, releasing Zhi Tianping from his constraints.

Zhi Tianping's feet touched the ground, and he gave a thumbs up to Chu Nan, "Brother Chu Nan, your abilities are truly making me more and more impressed. I think it won't be long before I'll just look to you as my master?"

He said this to Chu Nan with a tone that was half-serious, half-joking.

It's just that Chu Nan's progress in less than half a year was too fast, leading Zhi Tianping to have no thoughts of catching up, just admiration.

Chu Nan looked at the still swollen cheek of Zhi Tianping, knowing that this guy must have said many things that provoked Huo Mingxian outside, otherwise, he wouldn't be in such a miserable state.

"Daoist friend, you're overpraising me, it's just luck. Every time I break through, it's a life-and-death struggle. Want to give it a try?"

Upon hearing this, Zhi Tianping quickly waved his hand, refusing, "Nah, forget it. I'm not as abnormal as you, always able to turn danger into safety."

Chu Nan's crises were always observed by Zhi Tianping.

Faced with those crises, Zhi Tianping asked himself if he could get through them, and honestly, he couldn't. But Chu Nan could not only resolve them but also gain opportunities.

This wasn't something that could be accomplished with mere luck; it required a firm will and formidable strength!

"Alright, time is pressing, let's quickly leave this dragon's den of the Huo family." Chu Nan said seriously.

Huo Mingxian cares about Huo Jiantang's life, but that doesn't mean others do.

It's best to leave quickly now, avoiding any long nights of worry!

Thus, under Huo Mingxian's guidance, Chu Nan left the Immortal Pavilion and headed towards the main gate of the Huo family.

Along the way, they attracted countless glares from the martial artists of the Huo family. Upon seeing Chu Nan restrain Huo Jiantang, they were even more furious, wishing to personally kill Chu Nan to vent their anger.

Chu Nan believed that if Huo Mingxian wasn't there, he would have already been besieged by the martial artists of the Huo family.

Finally, under Huo Mingxian's protection, Chu Nan successfully left the Huo family.

"Chu Nan, let Huo Jiantang go now." As soon as they were out of the Huo family, Huo Mingxian urged eagerly.
