Peerless Dragon Sovereign-Chapter 612: New Prey

The effect of the Enslavement Mark was unexpectedly powerful, which sparked some other thoughts in Chu Nan's mind.

He originally planned to enslave some martial artists with the sixth or fifth cultivation level at the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, but now that he could enslave even Lan Zhanhan of the eighth level, naturally he could try others as well.

Thinking of this, Chu Nan felt a moment of joy, then first said to Lan Zhanhan, "You heal yourself first, and later we'll return to the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall."

Lan Zhanhan nodded respectfully, then immediately sat cross-legged to heal the leg he had destroyed in self-sabotage using his cultivation.

Shortly after, at Chu Nan's call, Zhuge Yun's figure approached from afar.

Upon seeing that even Lan Zhanhan was enslaved by Chu Nan, an astonished look immediately appeared on Zhuge Yun's face.

After all, Lan Zhanhan, a martial artist of the eighth level, could be defeated or killed, but making him a slave was absolutely impossible.

Perhaps only the top figure of Soul Dao, Skeleton Soul, could barely manage this, others, even the Leading Hall Master, couldn't achieve this.

No one expected that Chu Nan actually did it; he enslaved Lan Zhanhan!

Maybe it was the influence of the Enslavement Mark, but Zhuge Yun became even more loyal and respectful to Chu Nan.

An hour later, Lan Zhanhan's body was barely healed.

Chu Nan inquired him about a lot of information concerning other Hall Masters and cultivation, procedures which Hai Wujie never had a chance to learn before.

But now Chu Nan learned everything clearly through Lan Zhanhan.

Including Chu Nan, there were now nine Hall Masters at the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall.

On the surface, only Chu Nan was of the sixth level, the remaining seventh and sixth Hall Masters were of the seventh level, whereas the fifth and fourth were at the early eighth level, with the fourth being slightly stronger than Lan Zhanhan.

As for the third and second Hall Masters, they were terrifying; their presence was like a dragon's unseen head among the clouds, fully devoted to fighting and strategizing for the Leading Hall Master, faithful henchmen of the Leading Hall Master.

They both possessed peak eighth-level cultivation, and even the two Hall Master candidates under their sections also boasted terrifying eighth-level cultivation.

As for the Leading Hall Master, there's no need to say.

He was a ninth-level mighty figure, on par with Emperor Qin and the Supreme Sect Leader, a terrifying existence.

If the Leading Hall Master was not strong enough, Leading Hall Master Lu Daochang would have long come to the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall personally to seize the treasure that lets one traverse the Endless Sea of Suffering.

After hearing this, Chu Nan clicked his tongue inwardly; the strength of the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall was indeed formidable, and perhaps only the Huo family in the Imperial Capital could remotely compare to it, but still far inferior.

At least the ninth-level martial artist of the Huo family is far inferior to those at the level of the Leading Hall Master, Emperor Qin, and the Supreme Sect Leader.

He is said to be of the early ninth level, standing at the lowest rank of this level.

It's really laughable; other ninth-level martial artists all stand at the pinnacle on the same level line, yet the Huo family's supreme elder is at the bottom, truly laughable.

"With my current strength, the fourth Hall Master is the most I can handle."

"The third and second Hall Masters have peak eighth-level cultivation; it's easy to contend against them, hard to defeat them, enslaving them is impossible."

"Calculating in this way, the only targets left for enslavement are the sixth and fourth Hall Masters."

One of the seventh level and one of the eighth level, although far from the other Hall Masters, they already account for a considerable power for Chu Nan.

"Master, the fourth Hall Master revealed an idea a long time ago about cooperating with me in exploring the Main Hall; if you want him to join us, I can find a way to call him out alone."

Lan Zhanhan, now a slave to Chu Nan, naturally began considering everything for him.

Chu Nan nodded secretly and said, "Very well, then Zhuge Yun and I will hold off on returning to the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall. You go back first and figure out a way to bring the fourth Hall Master out, then we'll subdue him together."

Lan Zhanhan nodded and promptly began healing.

Beside him, when Zhuge Yun saw what was happening, a strong sense of crisis suddenly arose in his heart, fearing his position would be replaced if things continued this way, so he hurriedly said:

"I know several elders, some are even of the seventh level; Master, I can also try to get them to come out alone."

Seeing this scene, Chu Nan couldn't help but laugh and waved his hand, saying, "No need to go this far; right now, taking in just a fourth and a sixth Hall Master is enough, too many people might raise suspicions."

"For now, we should secretly accumulate strength; once we're inside the Main Hall, the situation will be significantly different."

Once entering the Main Hall, with the fourth Hall Master, Lan Zhanhan, Zhuge Yun as aides, even dealing with the peak eighth level would be possible.

If it were feasible, Chu Nan could even manage to enslave everyone except Skeleton Soul and the ninth Hall Master.

Plus, with Lu Daochang assisting from the side, the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall's eventual ownership, who can be sure!

Approximately one day later, with the help of Chu Nan, Lan Zhanhan fully recovered from his injuries, during which Zhuge Yun went to the surrounding city to eradicate the martial artists of the Slaughter Emperor Sect, ending the task thoroughly.

However, the three headed towards the Desolate Ancient City, stopping a hundred miles from the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, planning an ambush.

And Lan Zhanhan went into the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall to find the fourth Hall Master, luring him out.

Chu Nan and Zhuge Yun waited outside, and the wait lasted half a day.

The night of the Southern Desert was unbelievably cold, with the chilling wind constantly roaring, sand blowing on their faces as if steel blades, the barren spiritual energy being exceedingly chaotic.

If ordinary people encountered this kind of weather without protection measures, they might perish in less than an hour; only martial artists like Chu Nan can survive in such harsh conditions.

Suddenly, two figures stealthily approached, Chu Nan's Spiritual Sense probing out, discovering it was Lan Zhanhan.

And beside Lan Zhanhan was a lean young man in a green robe.

Though he appeared young, the youth's age surpassed Lan Zhanhan by several hundred years, emanating eighth-level cultivation that sometimes appeared and faded.

Chu Nan thought inwardly, "This should be the fourth Hall Master."

He and Zhuge Yun completely concealed their bodies; since they had set up traps in advance, it wouldn't be prudent to rush out.

Once the fourth Hall Master approached, Chu Nan would launch a thunderbolt strike, striving to subdue him within breaths, silently making him recognize Chu Nan as his master.

"Lan Zhanhan, where is the one you said can help us defeat the Leading Hall Master and seize the treasure from the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall?" The fourth Hall Master showed a face of doubt, with slight wariness in his heart.

He had been invited by Lan Zhanhan, but as they left the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, he felt a vague unease.

But he couldn't pinpoint where this unease was coming from, after all, he and Lan Zhanhan had equal cultivation and no grudges, so there was no reason to harm him, right?

Although puzzled, the fourth Hall Master secretly gathered power, deciding if Lan Zhanhan truly had issues, he would fiercely attack and kill the latter!
