Shura Field? Doesn’t exist

Chapter 595: Shura Field? Non-existent!

Cha Nan's performance seemed a little over the top!

But Wang Xiaoshi didn't notice it!

As for Xia Xueyi and Lan Xiaodie, they knew nothing about Cha Nan, so naturally, they couldn't spot any flaws.

As for Bai Yunfei, she might have had a hint of doubt, but she clearly wouldn't make too many connections from it.

Not everyone could be a brain-filling weirdo like Cha Nan.

All in all, Cha Nan reaped the greatest benefits tonight.

The only regret was not finding an opportunity to capture Lan Xiaodie alone.

With the abilities and strength Cha Nan possessed, he could indeed ignore Xia Xueyi, Lan Xiaodie, Bai Yunfei, and Wang Xiaoshi, and forcefully do certain things.

But enough had happened tonight, and he didn't want to create any more complications before completely resolving the issue of the Longevity Art.

There was a big difference between obtaining the Longevity Art and obtaining it safely and without trouble.

If the news of him getting the Longevity Art leaked out, then besides retreating to the Phantom Beast World or Phantom Beast Island, Cha Nan would find it very difficult to find another safe haven.

"Wang Xiaoshi! You guard here, I'll go back and inform Wuqing to send people over!" Cha Nan turned to Wang Xiaoshi and said.

Wang Xiaoshi tightened his grip on the Retaining Sword, but then looked at Xia Xueyi.

The battle between him and Xia Xueyi had not actually ended.

It was just that Cha Nan's killing of Su Penghai, and the unexpected loss of the Longevity Art's whereabouts, caused their battle to temporarily cease.

Xia Xueyi held the Golden Serpent Sword horizontally, vigilantly watching the other few people.

"I am Cha Nan, Island Master of Phantom Beast Island. If you need anything, you can come find me on the island! I think—it won't disappoint you!" Cha Nan said to Xia Xueyi.

Xia Xueyi's own Golden Serpent Sword Art was actually only average, somewhere between a unique technique and a high-grade martial art. It primarily needed to be wielded with the Golden Serpent Sword to unleash its full power. Cha Nan didn't have any particular thoughts about this sword art; it would be good to get it, but not a pity if he didn't.

However, he was somewhat interested in the Golden Serpent Sword in his hand, which could refract moonlight and enhance Sword Qi.

If he was willing to trade, Cha Nan could give him a slightly more valuable Phantom Beast.

Xia Xueyi wanted to seek revenge on the Wen family. The Golden Serpent Sword might not be enough, but if he chose the right Phantom Beast, the possibility would greatly increase.

He believed Xia Xueyi had his own judgment.

And for things that could be easily obtained through trade, Cha Nan would not brutally resort to force.

Xia Xueyi nodded: "Alright! Phantom Beast Island—I've remembered it!"

After speaking, he no longer lingered. He leaped up and soared into the air, flying towards the deep river in the night. He had clearly made up his mind that if anyone pursued him, he would immediately plunge into the rolling Yellow River water and escape by water.

He was no hero; to preserve his life for revenge, Xia Xueyi would do anything.

Lan Xiaodie cast a distant glance at Bai Yunfei, then also turned and left, seemingly unguarded, but tightly clutching her pipa to her chest.

Cha Nan watched Lan Xiaodie's retreating figure, his eyes flickering several times, but ultimately, he didn't make a move.

The process of snatching the Longevity Art tonight had almost no accidents, which made Cha Nan feel uneasy.

Generally speaking, after causing such a big commotion, attracting the attention and pursuit of so many forces, even if Su Penghai's line was relatively secretive, it shouldn't have gone so smoothly—.

Overthinking is useless!

Wang Xiaoshi remained in place, while Cha Nan, Bai Yunfei, and Yan Nantian returned to Jiuzhou Manor.

However, it was clear that Cha Nan's premonition was not wrong.

Tonight's length exceeded imagination.

Jianghu is vast, there are many capable people, and Cha Nan is definitely not the only clever one.

Outside Jiuzhou Manor, a black sedan chair stood quietly.

And by the sedan chair stood an acquaintance of Cha Nan's.

Shangguan Xiaoxian—she stood by the sedan chair at this moment like a humble maid, and her expression didn't change at all when she saw Cha Nan.

To the left of the sedan chair stood a man dressed in golden yellow clothes. His shirt was short, only reaching his knees, his sleeves were tight, his fingers were slender and long, with prominent bones, looking very powerful, and there were three conspicuous saber scars on his face.

When Cha Nan saw this man, he already guessed who was in the sedan chair.

Shangguan Jinhong!

A person who theoretically shouldn't have appeared with Shangguan Xiaoxian at the same time.

But in fact, they had long had the opportunity to establish a connection.

And this should have been expected long ago.

"Three people against three people, it looks very fair!"

"However, this is too close to Jiuzhou Manor. Do you really have the confidence to deal with us without alarming the people in the city?" Cha Nan didn't ask foolish questions like how they happened to block the road or why they blocked it.

This was actually already obvious.

As early as the moment Shangguan Xiaoxian revealed information about the Longevity Art to him, the plan to use him had already begun.

She successfully made Cha Nan believe that what she wanted most was the Overturning Sea Dragon, thus making him overlook the possibility that he himself would become a prey.

Of course, it couldn't be considered an oversight, but rather, with the growth of his strength, a hint of—arrogance—inevitably appeared.

Because he didn't truly take Shangguan Xiaoxian seriously, he overlooked the danger she might bring.

His foreknowledge of some 'stories' also accidentally created a cognitive bias, preventing him from thinking of certain possibilities at the first moment.

In the story, Shangguan Xiaoxian was helpless and could only support the Money Alliance alone.

But the World Gate had been open for ten years, which was enough to change many, many things.

Including allowing a father and daughter from different timelines to establish a relatively stable Alliance.

"In the first half of the night, the traces of the Stone Dragon have already appeared in Xifeng City." Shangguan Xiaoxian looked up, staring at Cha Nan as she spoke, which also answered Cha Nan's question.

"For old times' sake, Young Master Cha! Hand over the Longevity Art and pledge allegiance to my father, and we will be one family. Not only will you have a place in the Money Alliance, but my father will also help you gain a more prominent position in the God of Wealth Society, wielding more power and wealth." Shangguan Xiaoxian looked at Cha Nan seriously and said.

Cha Nan merely clicked his tongue and said, "Women's faces change so fast—this time, you didn't even use yourself as a bargaining chip, but just drew two empty promises for me!"

"So—is it just you guys?"

"I'm still a little disappointed!" Cha Nan glanced at Bai Yunfei, whose stance was actually debatable.

Soon, Cha Nan's suspicion was confirmed.

A tall, robust middle-aged man dressed as a scholar, with a long beard and whiskers, flew out and looked at Bai Yunfei.

"Master!" Bai Yunfei called out.

Undoubtedly, the long-bearded man was Lan Haiping.

He waved at Bai Yunfei, signaling her to come over.

"Master! They are my friends!" Bai Yunfei realized something and shook her head, saying.

Lan Haiping suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to Bai Yunfei: "Princess! This old subject has hidden it from you for so many years, and now I can only tell you the truth—."

After speaking, he abruptly revealed Bai Yunfei's identity, as well as the process of rescuing her in the past and abandoning Lan Xiaodie and her mother.

At this moment, in this situation, Lan Haiping's sudden self-exposure undoubtedly had a deeper meaning.

Sure enough, he was heard saying: "This old subject originally had no intention of restoring the kingdom, only wishing for the Princess to grow up safely. But now that the Longevity Art has stirred up the situation, and the God of Wealth Society is also willing to provide assistance—the hatred of a fallen nation, how can I dare to forget it!"

"Regarding today's matter, this old subject will not make things difficult for the Princess, but I also ask the Princess not to interfere, and simply observe from the sidelines!"

Clearly, Lan Haiping was also a hired thug of the Money Alliance—or rather, the God of Wealth Society.

On the surface, the Low-Headed Dragon Di Feijing cooperated with Su Penghai, but it was clear that the God of Wealth Society was not so easily deceived; they had long arranged two lines, one overt and one covert.

Their suspicion of Su Penghai had never ceased.

What kind of person was Lan Haiping?

He was like Cheng Ying, loyal—but also ruthless.

To fulfill his loyalty, he could abandon his own daughter, letting his daughter serve as a scapegoat.

Indeed, Lan Xiaodie did not die, but that was only because she was lucky, not because Lan Haiping was not ruthless enough.

Cheng Ying would guide Zhao Wu to take revenge on Tu Anjia, and Lan Haiping might not be unwilling to take revenge on the current ruler.

The God of Wealth Society had seized his weakness!

A conflicted expression appeared on Bai Yunfei's face. Although she had only known Cha Nan for an hour or two, she already considered him a friend. Betraying a friend—she was unwilling!

But the one kneeling and begging her opposite was, after all, the Master who raised her and sacrificed his own daughter for her.

She also didn't want to defy him!

"Go ahead! Two against four, the advantage is still mine!" Cha Nan said to Bai Yunfei with a laugh.

In fact, Bai Yunfei's hesitation was already enough to make him feel that she was a friend worth associating with.

After all, they had only known each other for less than a night.

Moreover, there was no life-and-death bond between them. If Bai Yunfei firmly chose him at this moment and abandoned Lan Haiping, it would instead make Cha Nan suspect that she had greater ambitions!

Shangguan Jinhong in the sedan chair still did not speak, and Jing Wuming, standing by the sedan chair, was like a robot.

But their threat had always existed.

And when Cha Nan spoke arrogantly, two powerful Auras erupted simultaneously, sweeping towards Cha Nan and Yan Nantian.

"Mr. Lan! I trouble you!"

"If possible, please spare his life!" Shangguan Xiaoxian said.

It could be affirmed that she said this not out of affection for Cha Nan, but because she knew that Cha Nan still held many secrets and had great potential for exploitation.

His intrinsic value was no less than that of the Longevity Art.

This trip, several high-ranking members of the Money Alliance had almost all come out, with the goal of getting both the person and the Secret Manual.

"Alright!" Lan Haiping said, taking out a long flute from his怀.

Clearly, it was that sound wave attack again.

However, before he could play the soul-cleansing and heart-purifying melody, Yan Nantian's iron sword had already swept out.

Boom!

Yan Nantian's sword technique, and Yang Guo's Heavy Iron Sword technique, actually had a similar subtlety.

It's just that Yang Guo was light in handling heavy objects, while Yan Nantian was a typical example of making light objects heavy.

It was clearly just an ordinary iron sword, but he wielded it with the momentum of a hundred-jin heavy long spear or halberd.

This sword strike, when it landed, could be said to cause injury upon contact and death upon impact.

Lan Haiping's martial arts were also superb, yet he still dared not meet it head-on, only able to avoid the sharp edge first, and then engage in a skirmish with Yan Nantian.

Both were Grandmaster-level powerhouses, but their specialties were vastly different. Their fight would naturally be a grind, and as for the outcome—it was still fifty-fifty.

However, at this moment, Cha Nan was undoubtedly exposed alone before the Money Alliance's trio.

Shangguan Xiaoxian did not make a move, while Jing Wuming walked towards Cha Nan, step by step.

His dull gray eyes stared at Cha Nan, with no emotion in his pupils.

A trace of astonishment appeared on Cha Nan's face.

Because he suddenly realized that Jing Wuming seemed not to be at the Innate peak as he imagined, but had also entered the Grandmaster realm.

Tonight, to ambush him, the God of Wealth Society could be said to have deployed three Grandmasters, and used other arrangements to divert all of Cha Nan's potential reinforcements within Jiuzhou Manor.

"Uncle Jing! Be careful of his Phantom Beast!" Shangguan Xiaoxian deliberately reminded him.

Cha Nan absolutely didn't believe that they hadn't exchanged intelligence beforehand.

Neither Shangguan Jinhong nor Shangguan Xiaoxian would be such careless people.

The reason for saying this was clearly to 'force out' the Phantom Beast Cha Nan carried.

Perhaps they also had arrangements specifically for Phantom Beasts.

"Young Hero Cha! How about leaving him to me?" Tang Xiaolan's voice echoed from a direction in the dark night.

Then the sound of the long wind rustling through clothes whistled.

Subsequently, the Dragon Soaring Sword was heard unsheathing, already aimed at Jing Wuming.

They seemed not unfamiliar, possibly having already crossed paths and met in the Void Realm. Now meeting again, two Sword Intents had collided before their actual swords.

Tang Jingtian, on the other hand, walked to within five meters of Cha Nan, looking distantly at the black sedan chair and Shangguan Xiaoxian.

It seemed that, in terms of numbers, at least for now, they were evenly matched again!

It was just that the young Tang Jingtian was at most Innate level, and might only be able to fight Shangguan Xiaoxian back and forth, but he would definitely be outmatched against Shangguan Jinhong.

"Unexpected help!"

"Is this your confidence?" Shangguan Xiaoxian glanced at Tang Jingtian. Although she had no impression of this Young Master-like second-generation hero, she didn't take him seriously either.

Her gaze remained fixed on Cha Nan, not relaxing for a moment.

For tonight, she had prepared a lot, even convincing Shangguan Jinhong to come out together.

Since she had gone this far, failure and lack of success were absolutely unacceptable.

Roar!

Cha Nan released the Overturning Sea Dragon, Ao Bing.

The moment it appeared, the night seemed to be illuminated by a faint blue light.

Unfortunately, this was not the sea, and it was even some distance from the Yellow River, so Ao Bing's full strength could not be unleashed.

However, as Ao Bing appeared, a large number of thick, black profound iron chains suddenly burst out from the black sedan chair.

They coiled towards the Overturning Sea Dragon Ao Bing, intending to restrain it and destroy its ability to move.

Its massive body was both Ao Bing's strength and could also become its weakness.

"As expected, they came prepared!" Cha Nan chuckled, recalling Ao Bing.

Then, he pulled out a Pal Sphere.

Light shone, and a dog-headed man with black and gold coloring appeared before Cha Nan.

Anubis's Shadow—appeared!

The profound iron chains swayed horizontally and vertically, but they were still not very flexible. They were certainly extremely effective against the massive Ao Bing, but they definitely wouldn't work against Anubis, who, apart from having a dog's head, was otherwise indistinguishable from a human.

Chain after chain swept past Anubis's Shadow, yet not even a single strand touched him.

At the same time, Shangguan Xiaoxian launched a surprise attack on Cha Nan, but was intercepted by Tang Jingtian.

"Your opponent is me!" Tang Jingtian said with a smile.

"Get lost!" Two rings flew out from Shangguan Xiaoxian's sleeve, colliding with Tang Jingtian's long sword.

Just as Shangguan Xiaoxian was intercepted by Tang Jingtian, the sedan chair door was flung open by a gust of wind. In an instant—a golden light flashed, and an irresistible immense force, carrying rolling Qi waves, like the Golden Casket of the Grand Supreme Elder, smashed towards Anubis's Shadow and Cha Nan.

Shangguan Jinhong had also made his move!

Roar!

Cha Nan didn't stand completely behind Anubis's Shadow as a mere decoration. He pushed out a palm with the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, and rolling Qi waves swept out, colliding with the golden light.

At least from the momentum, the two seemed evenly matched.
