Chen Nan shook his head, "I don't know."
Ji Taimèi said, "Then this old woman will tell you..."
Before she could finish, Chen Nan interrupted her, "No need!"
"I want to experience for myself the consequences of offending Magistrate Song."
"Isn't this more direct than what you're telling me?" As he spoke, he grinned, revealing a chilling smile that made Ji Taimèi's bones creep.
"You're simply a madman!"
Ji Taimèi's scalp tingled.
She hadn't expected Chen Nan to be so bold.
Without further thought.
She quickly said, "If you make an enemy of Magistrate Song, have you considered the young lady's situation? Do you want her to watch you and her closest relative become enemies?"
A coldness appeared on Chen Nan's face, "Let's be clear, it's not that I want to be Magistrate Song's enemy."
"It's Magistrate Song who wants to kill me!"
"Did Magistrate Song ever consider how heartbroken Ziwei would be if he killed me?"
"Did he ever consider Ziwei's feelings?"
"He doesn't even care about Ziwei's feelings."
"Do you think."
"Ziwei would care about the father-daughter bond between them?"
As he spoke, a long saber appeared in Chen Nan's hand.
With a swish.
Ji Taimèi's head flew high into the air.
Blood gushed from her headless corpse.
Ji Taimèi's eyes went mad, and she let out a hoarse scream, "You've underestimated the divine abilities of a Body Seizing realm cultivator. Even if you sever my head, I can still seize your body and make it my own."
"Although you are a man."
"But I also want to experience the pleasure of being a man."
Chen Nan looked at her quietly.
The corners of his mouth twitched fiercely.
She really is a pervert.
If this old woman were to seize his body.
What would she do?
A powerful soul flew out from Ji Taimèi's head.
Her eyes were filled with icy coldness as she lunged at Chen Nan.
But at this moment.
Diting transformed into a ferocious form.
Opening its massive maw.
A terrifying devouring power erupted from its mouth.
"Diting?"
"Divine beast Diting?"
"How can you be following Chen Nan?"
Ji Taimèi let out a heart-wrenching scream.
Diting was the supreme divine beast of the underworld.
It was a sacred existence.
But how could she have imagined.
Such a supreme divine beast would recognize Chen Nan as its master.
Could it be...
Could it be that Chen Nan is the future Lord of the Underworld?
Before she could recover.
Her soul was directly swallowed by Diting.
"My lord, do not make an enemy of Chen Nan!"
Before dying, Ji Taimèi remembered Magistrate Song's intention to kill Chen Nan.
If Magistrate Song insisted on this.
He would undoubtedly pay a heavy price.
After swallowing Ji Taimèi's soul in one gulp.
Diting burped, "To tell you the truth, this old lady's soul is quite rich, it's just... my forehead hurts a bit." As it spoke, it used its Qilin hoof to scratch its forehead.
Chen Nan said, "You have a black lump on your forehead."
"If nothing unexpected happens, you'll grow horns soon!"
Just saying this made Chen Nan's heart race.
If Diting grew horns.
And developed dragon scales on its body.
Then it would truly have grown into a Diting!
To be blunt.
If it reached that point.
Even if he were an ordinary person, he could ride it to the eighteenth level of hell.
To see Empress Houtu.
"I need to sleep. Listen to my advice, it's best to go back the way you came." Diting looked north with a look of apprehension, "I can sense that there is still danger in that direction."
"The opponent's strength is very high."
"Stronger than this old woman that Guo Yu shot."
Guo Yu's mental state exploded, "Why do you have to emphasize 'the old woman that I shot'?"
Diting ignored him and resumed its dog form.
It lay on the ground and fell into a deep sleep.
Guo Yu looked nervously at Chen Nan, "Big brother, what should we do next?"
"Go back the way we came, or continue north?"
Chen Nan looked north.
It was obvious.
Killing a ninth-level Body Seizing realm cultivator was already his limit.
If he encountered a cultivator stronger than the Body Seizing realm.
Even he would have no chance of survival.
However.
He disliked waiting for death.
He would not turn back either.
No matter what, he had to go to Guangling Prefecture.
No matter what dangers awaited him ahead.
They would not make him retreat a single step.
"If I remember correctly, there's a small town ahead. Let's stay there for a night first."
"Then tomorrow, we'll find a merchant caravan to sneak into."
"And follow them into Guangling Prefecture."
Chen Nan made up his mind.
As long as he concealed his aura, even a cultivator beyond the Body Seizing realm would have difficulty detecting his cultivation.
Sneaking into Guangling Prefecture with a merchant caravan was a viable plan.
After all, once he infiltrated Guangling Prefecture.
No one would dare to kill him in plain sight.
"Okay!"
Guo Yu agreed without hesitation.
Then, he lifted Diting above his head with both hands.
Riding his horse, he galloped wildly under the night sky.
"Why are you holding it above your head?" Chen Nan asked, confused.
Guo Yu replied, "I'm afraid it will have ideas about me if I carry it on my back."
Chen Nan looked stunned, "If you don't have ideas about it, how do you know it has ideas about you?"
"......"
------
Not long after Chen Nan and the two left.
Two beautiful figures appeared before the post station.
Looking at the burning flames.
The woman in the green dress said with a slightly haggard expression, "Sister, we shouldn't have come out to train in the mortal world at this time."
"We should be hibernating in the mountains."
The woman was none other than the snake demon Lu Qingqing from Snake Mountain.
Lu Bailing gave her a resentful look, "If you hadn't led us the wrong way, we would have entered Guangling Prefecture by now, and we wouldn't be traveling on this cold and bleak night."
Snakes were different from humans.
Snakes needed to hibernate.
Even though the Lu Bailing sisters had already cultivated to the Body Seizing realm.
But they still needed to stay in a warm place during winter.
Lu Qingqing flashed a playful smile, "This is also an unavoidable part of training in the mortal world. It's no big deal."
Lu Bailing shook her head helplessly, "Then tell me, where should we go now?"
Lu Qingqing looked south, "Guangling Prefecture is to the northwest of Snake Mountain. I feel like Guangling Prefecture is in that direction."
Lu Bailing nodded slightly, "Alright, let's go in the opposite direction."
"Ah?" Lu Qingqing looked incredulous, "Sister, why are you going against me?"
"Because every decision you've made so far has been wrong," Lu Bailing said, "so, by elimination, going in the opposite direction will lead to Guangling Prefecture."
Lu Qingqing looked embarrassed, "Sister, trust me just once, okay? I can guarantee that it's Guangling Prefecture ahead."
"I've already trusted you three times," Lu Bailing sighed, "Can you trust me once?"
Lu Qingqing was about to speak.
Then she saw Lu Bailing's eyes light up, and she said excitedly, "Sister, do you sense the aura of Young Master Chen?"
Lu Qingqing's spirit suddenly jolted, "It seems... it does seem like there's Young Master Chen's aura." She looked north and said, "Sister is right, all my decisions are wrong."
"This time I'll listen to my sister, we'll go in the opposite direction."
"Whether we meet Young Master Chen or not isn't important."
"What's important is that we can reach Guangling Prefecture."
Lu Bailing's face blushed slightly, and she murmured, "If we can meet him, wouldn't it be a destined encounter despite the distance?"
