Chapter 717: With Your Strength Alone, You Think You Can Destroy Someone?

Such power, he was truly far from reaching that level.

Nanli explained, "That’s right, I was still on the eastern road when Chuyun Temple and the small temple were being attacked. I could only use two Heaven Thunder Talismans. Fortunately, you weren’t too far away, or I wouldn’t have been able to summon the lightning together."

The Palace Master let out a long sigh of relief. "That’s good, that’s good."

Although he didn’t quite understand everything they had said, the important thing was that everyone was safe.

Chu Yang regained some energy and said, "Sixth sister, you’re so powerful now, what title have you given yourself?"

"I?" Nanli hesitated slightly, "A title is not very important. I am just me, Chu Nanli."

Elder Chen and Uncle De arrived one after another.

"Flood Wilderness Cultivator!" Uncle De shouted, "You flew so fast!"

Elder Chen was also panting slightly.

They had almost gotten lost in their pursuit.

"Hahaha!" Zhou Zida laughed wildly, "No wonder you wouldn’t tell your title earlier."

Nanli’s face darkened.

Chu Yang glared at Zhou Zida, "What are you laughing at? Sixth sister’s title is so majestic! It’s great!"

Zhou Zida fell silent immediately under his gaze.

Nanli was slightly helpless. "Uncle De, just call me Nanli here."

Uncle De gave a slightly embarrassed laugh, "Ah, I was just worried that the people from the Ten Great Cities would be here and expose your identity."

Elder Chen looked around in surprise, "They’re all dead. Where did this group come from?"

Chu Yang was still dazed.

"One person claimed to be the young master of the Jade... Jade something city."

"Hah?" Uncle De’s face immediately changed, "Could it be Jade Wolf City?"

Elder Chen’s face turned pale. "Was the young master called Meng Lianfeng? Where is he?"

It seemed like Meng Lianfeng’s body was nowhere to be found.

Great, great.

At least he was a Golden Core cultivator, so he must have left.

Chu Yang pointed to the skeleton. "There, over there."

Uncle De was dumbfounded. "What... what? Flood Wilderness Cultivator, you killed Meng Lianfeng?!"

In a moment of panic, he called out Nanli’s name again.

Well, if anything good happened, it was always attributed to Nanli. If something bad happened, it was always the Flood Wilderness Cultivator’s fault.

Zhou Zida muttered, "It wasn’t her. It was Chu Yang who killed him."

Uncle De looked at him, shocked. "Zhou Zida? What are you doing here? Haven’t you been missing for a long time?"

Zhou Zida didn’t want to bring up that embarrassing matter at all.

He quickly changed the subject, crossed his arms, and said:

"Hmph, Chu Yang, you’ve really caused big trouble this time. In Upper Realm’s Jiuzhou Town, there are four powerful families, and each family’s influence cannot be underestimated. The third young lady of the Bai family married into Jade Wolf City, and Meng Lianfeng is her only son!"

"As those martial artists said, not only have you offended Jade Wolf City, but you’ve also offended the Bai family!"

Zhou Zida had been practicing with Chu Yang for a while now, so Chu Yang had some understanding of the Immortal World’s powers.

His face darkened, and he struggled to sit up.

"Their power is strong, so what? Since they came here to slaughter, they have to bear the consequences! One person does the deed, and one person bears the blame. If they want revenge, let them come after me."

Elder Chen gently shook his head and said, "Among the four major families, the Bai family has the fewest direct descendants, so they protect their own fiercely. Now that the third young lady’s only son has been killed by you, this matter probably can’t be settled easily."

Chu Yang’s heart tightened, and he tried to get up.

Nanli pressed him down, "Fourth brother, don’t worry. I’ve already offended several major sects in Upper Realm. Our family doesn’t fear offending one more Bai family. We’ll destroy them all in the future."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yang immediately relaxed.

"Alright, since they’re all bad people," he said, "I’ll have to focus on my cultivation!"

I must not slack off!

The weak get beaten!

Zhou Zida was taken aback and looked at the two siblings. "What are you joking about? There are six major sects plus the Bai family. With just the two of you, you think you can destroy them? What are you thinking!"

Nanli gave him a cold look. "You talk a lot. Want to keep your tongue?"

Zhou Zida stood up, dusting off his robes.

"Chu Yang, I can’t stay with you any longer."

In the past, when they were in the martial world, no matter what happened to Chu Yang, it was fine.

But now, Chu Yang had offended both Jade Wolf City and the Bai family. If he stayed with Chu Yang, it would be a dead end.

There were still things he wanted to accomplish, and he couldn’t die here.

He thought Chu Yang would persuade him to stay, but instead, Chu Yang looked at him with clear eyes and said, "Fine. For now, you’re too weak. Fighting with you is not much use to me."

Those words made Zhou Zida lose his temper.

"Chu Yang! Are you even speaking like a person?!" he shouted angrily. "I’ve been practicing with you day and night! Even if I haven’t earned any credit, at least I’ve suffered with you!"

Chu Yang raised his hand, letting the talisman light shine on his left palm.

He looked innocent.

"But you took the Strengthening Elixir and learned the Fire Cloud Spell, so you’re not losing out."

"I didn’t ask you to leave. You said you wanted to leave."

Zhou Zida had a flash of realization. "Ah, right, I still haven’t finished learning the Fire Cloud Spell. I’ll stay and finish learning it, then leave."

It wasn’t because he couldn’t bear to leave Chu Yang, the foolish boy.

Nanli said, "Fourth brother, you’re in trouble. This person is going to stick to you for the rest of your life."

"Huh? Why?" Chu Yang didn’t understand.

"With his talent, he’ll never finish learning the Fire Cloud Spell in this lifetime."

"Oh." Chu Yang looked at Zhou Zida. "I don’t care about food or lodging."

Zhou Zida was holding back a belly full of anger. "Ridiculous, you don’t care about me, and I’ll thank Buddha for that! You think I expect you to take care of my food and lodging?"

Chu Yang laughed. "Then you take care of it. I don’t like to."

Seeing the three of them chatting and laughing, with such a relaxed air, Elder Chen sighed repeatedly.

"Nanli, this isn’t something to joke about," Elder Chen said. "The Bai family is extremely protective..."

Nanli tapped her chin, then asked, "From what I know, although the Bai family has few descendants, only this third young lady married into Jade Wolf City, right?"

Elder Chen nodded. "That’s right. The head of the Bai family has one son and four daughters. The other two daughters married into other families, while one has focused on cultivation and is not considering marriage. Only this third young lady married into the Lower Realm."

Nanli raised an eyebrow. "Then that’s fine. The Bai family might not interfere with this."

Elder Chen was puzzled at first, but after a moment of thought, he understood what Nanli meant.

However, he still furrowed his brows. "This is not so simple. The head of the Bai family married her to the lord of Jade Wolf City. It was likely a political marriage, not because they didn’t care about her. Every year, on the head of the Bai family’s birthday, the third young lady goes back to celebrate."

To say the Bai family wouldn’t care about this matter was highly unlikely.
