Chen Nan left the school ruins, originally intending to head to Sky Sword Mountain.
But after glancing in the direction of neighboring Ningjiang City, he changed his course and flew towards Ningjiang City, wanting to check on the Su family villa, perhaps Su Qingqing and the others went back to their hometown.
Moreover, besides his wives, there was Su Yixuan, alone in Ningjiang City, and not knowing martial arts, it was uncertain whether she was still alive.
The warship moved swiftly and reached Ningjiang City in an instant.
The level of destruction here was similar to Ninghai City. Chen Nan visited the Su family villa, where amidst the ruins were human and demon clan corpses. Fortunately, after some searching, all the deceased were unfamiliar faces.
Chen Nan then went to Su Yixuan's company.
At that moment, the skyscraper of tens of floors had already collapsed. After searching through the rubble, Chen Nan rescued a few ordinary people trapped inside, but nobody knew about Su Yixuan's whereabouts.
Chen Nan left Ningjiang City, flying towards Sky Sword Mountain. Soon he arrived at Sky Sword Mountain.
Standing on the warship, he looked down, the entire Sky Sword Mountain was in ruins, the mountain littered with corpses, including that of Sky Sword Sect disciples as well as numerous demon clan corpses.
Although Sky Sword Sect was a small sect, its disciples were still cultivators, not as easily bullied as ordinary people.
Sky Sword Sect had over a thousand disciples; with a sweep of his divine sense, Chen Nan estimated roughly that about eight hundred disciples lay dead on the mountain, the rest perhaps fled or were captured by the demon clan.
Chen Nan rushed to the back mountain, where Gongsun Yudie usually resided, now completely destroyed.
Chen Nan used his divine sense to scan the surroundings but found no trace of Gongsun Yudie.
Not finding her body, it meant she might still be alive. As Chen Nan prepared to leave, he noticed half of a sword tip on the ground.
Chen Nan's pupils contracted, quickly picking up the sword tip.
Upon seeing it, he was shocked, recognizing it as a piece from the Unrivaled Sword he had gifted to Gongsun Yudie.
"The Unrivaled Sword is broken, indicating she encountered a strong foe. It's unclear whether she managed to escape or was captured by the demon clan," Chen Nan muttered to himself, expanding his divine sense over Sky Sword Mountain, finally detecting life signals behind a large rock a few dozen meters away.
Chen Nan rushed over and saw a person lying behind the rock, covered in blood, barely clinging to life.
Upon close inspection, the blood-stained face seemed somewhat familiar. After a moment, he remembered the person's identity — Wang Hou, Gongsun Yudie's most trusted junior brother, the one who had once warned him when Sky Sword Sect intended to eliminate Gongsun Yudie's child.
Thinking of this, Chen Nan quickly channeled his Inner Strength, transferring it to him, "Little Monkey, how are you? Please wake up."
A moment later, Wang Hou regained consciousness.
Seeing Chen Nan upon opening his eyes, he displayed slight surprise despite his expressionless gaze, "Chen Nan, you… you should leave quickly. Those demons are too powerful; they might... might come back."
"Where's your senior sister, Gongsun?" Chen Nan asked.
With difficulty, Wang Hou shook his head, weakly and intermittently speaking, "I don't... know, but many were... captured by demons... Senior sister might also... also..."
Before finishing his sentence, he closed his eyes, then lost consciousness completely.
Chen Nan struck the ground with his palm, creating a large pit, placing Wang Hou's body inside, and then slammed down again to cover him with soil.
As for the other Sky Sword Sect disciples' corpses, Chen Nan could not manage them all.
Standing atop Sky Sword Mountain, gazing at the scattered bodies on the ground, Chen Nan felt the ruthlessness of war. Though he himself had slaughtered many, to see the mortal world decimated like this left a sour feeling in his heart.
In just two or three days, this once familiar world had been demolished beyond recognition.
"Yudie, oh Yudie, where are you?"
Holding the Phoenix Wing Mace, Chen Nan was at a loss about where to search.
According to Wang Hou's last words, many people were captured by the demon clan, among them, could Gongsun Yudie be included?
Chen Nan was unsure, and even if she was, where could he rescue her?
With a sigh, Chen Nan boarded his warship again, flying towards the East Sea, intending to check the Lyu family illusionary realm. After all, before leaving, he had instructed Chu Wenrou to notify Su Qingqing and the others to hide there in Ninghai City.
Relative to the outside world, the illusionary realm should be relatively safe.
Chen Nan sped eastward like a gust of wind, seeing countless battlefields along the way, almost everywhere with signs of human activity, and demon clans rampaging.
Especially in densely populated areas, it had turned into rivers of blood.
Throughout his journey, whenever convenient, Chen Nan would help eliminate some demon clans, but he couldn't save every situation; despite his prowess, he was still just one person.
Continuously flying forward, Chen Nan pondered in his mind.
He was thinking about where his junior sister might be, having gone to deliver messages to the major sects without any fixed locations; he had no clue where to find her.
Moreover, Master Xuan Tianji, along with the ancient strong, were heading to the outer domain to resist the Heavenly People Clan, but what was the status of the battle?
Regret crept in, blaming himself for leaving Mount Tai too hastily, he should have asked Kuang Zhen Tian to visit the outer domain to check the battle situation. If the Ancient Seven Strongers were outmatched, with Kuang Zhen Tian's cultivation, he might have been of assistance.
Searching now for Kuang Zhen Tian in the vast world would not be easy.
With these thoughts, suddenly two figures emerged ahead, both bearing wings on their backs, "Chen Nan, what a small world, you're still alive!"
Ou Lu Fei, gripping a blood-stained Golden Divine Spear, stood aloft with a face full of killing intent.
Beside her, Ou Yifei held a golden sword, although silent, her gaze locked fiercely on Chen Nan.
"Bastards, I've been looking for you, and since we've met today, I won't let you escape alive!" Chen Nan stood on his warship, shooting forward like lightning, instantly reaching Ou Lu Fei, delivering an Earth-shattering strike with his Phoenix Wing Mace.
Ou Lu Fei countered with Embrace the Moon, horizontally blocking with her Golden Divine Spear.
"Clang"
A loud crash shook the Nine Heavens, causing the spear shaft to tremble violently.
Ou Lu Fei shook her Divine Spear, thrusting towards Chen Nan's distraction, unwilling to entangle further, Chen Nan transformed into a dragon, his defensive power multiplied, his Inner Strength cultivation soared to Earth Penetrating Nine Heavens, simultaneously activating the Listed Words True Mantra, a colossal Heavenly Stele phantom appeared, unleashing overwhelming power.
With a downward smash of his mace, Chen Nan nullified Ou Lu Fei's attack, following with Sea Moon Hook, the Phoenix Wing Mace swung from below upwards at Ou Lu Fei.
