School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master

Chapter 1536: Chapter 1622: Throwing Heaven into Chaos, Seizing Half the Land

”Buzz!”

A faint sound echoed, and the Qingyang City Lord couldn’t even react in time.

When he looked down, a pale purple flame had penetrated his body.

Previously, he had focused all his attention on Ling Wenti, never considering Chen Nan as a threat, so he never could have imagined that Chen Nan was the real master behind the scenes.

Chen Nan used the Divine Fire to destroy the Qingyang City Lord’s vitality, then immediately concealed himself.

The seven Immortal Swords, losing their resistance, all charged at the Qingyang City Lord, directly blasting him to death.

In the sky, the storage ring and the Golden Wheel Immortal Device belonging to the Qingyang City Lord fell, and the Wentian City Lord reached out to collect them.

At this moment, everyone finally realized—the Qingyang City Lord had fallen.

And it was with a single fatal strike.

The cultivators from Qingyang City and Tianyong City, seeing the fall of their City Lord, scattered in all directions, fearing that the Wentian City Lord would target them next.

Chen Nan, witnessing this scene, could not help but feel immense joy, as everything was unfolding according to his plan.

At present, he was not confident in defeating a powerful being of the Prison Lord Level.

After all, a Prison Lord possessed immense power.

Moreover, the Abyss Prison was filled with cultivators from the Immortal Domain, and if they sided with the Prison Lord in battle, even a swarm of ants could take down an elephant. Besides, they were all Immortal Domain practitioners here.

He planned to use the Wentian City Lord as a puppet to stir up chaos in the Abyss Prison, and then fish in troubled waters. He hadn’t expected to take the first step so easily.

”The Qingyang City Lord is dead. Send the word: if Qingyang City is willing to submit to us, Wentian City, past grievances will be forgiven. Otherwise, be slain on the spot. I, Ling Wenti, will unify the Abyss Prison today, slaying gods and Buddhas alike.”

Ling Wenti burst forth with unparalleled momentum: ”All cultivators joining Wentian City shall have the right to partake in slaying the Heavenly Demon and may claim the Sky Demon’s Heart by merit.”

The Sky Demon’s Heart was held by Chen Nan. He stood beside Ling Wenti with a respectful demeanor, but in reality, he was contemplating the Sky Demon’s Heart, pondering its mysterious uses and how it could traverse the Abyss Prison’s nodes.

However, apart from sensing a fierce aura, he couldn’t discern any other distinctive qualities.

Ling Wenti swept his gaze over the hundreds of Wentian City cultivators, focusing on one individual—

”You ranked second in damage during the siege against the Heavenly Demon. I saw it clearly. Since our fellow cultivator has fallen, the Sky Demon’s Heart will be bestowed upon you.”

Chen Nan, wrapping the Sky Demon’s Heart in a ball of immortal power, delivered it to the front of that cultivator.

Stunned and grateful, the cultivator accepted the Sky Demon’s Heart with an overflowing sense of gratitude, while surrounded by envious and jealous glances from the other cultivators.

”To dare attack a Wentian City cultivator is to challenge me; whoever it may be, they must die.” Under Chen Nan’s control, Ling Wenti continued, ”If you join Wentian City, you’ll be one of us, and everyone will benefit.”

Chen Nan knew that although the Prison Lord was strong, he had always ruled by power over everyone in the Abyss Prison. Outwardly, everyone feared him, but internally, they were probably not convinced.

After all, the Sky Demon’s Heart appeared only a few times in a millennium, yet it still had to be handed over to the Prison Lord. These practitioners of the Immortal Domain were all proud individuals, unlikely to yield easily, only silenced by the Prison Lord’s might.

”The City Lord’s merit rivals that of ancient holy sovereigns. We survive in the Abyss Prison, slaying Heavenly Demons, but live only at the whim of city lords, with no real chance of obtaining the Sky Demon’s Heart, and the dream of escaping the Abyss Prison is pure fantasy. City Lord, your fair distribution gives everyone a chance to earn the Sky Demon’s Heart; we admire you and pledge our unwavering loyalty!”

A Wentian City cultivator stepped up with flattery.

His words immediately resonated, and hundreds of cultivators responded in agreement.

Even those who fled from Qingyang City had a change of heart and came forward to pledge allegiance.

In the Abyss Prison, strength was king. Ling Wenti’s killing of the Qingyang City Lord in one strike showed that his strength was not weaker than the Prison Lord’s, giving them confidence.

Chen Nan’s face wore a shameless smile.

These people harbored anger, which he manipulated, and seeing Ling Wenti’s formidable strength, even if they faced the Prison Lord now, they probably wouldn’t flinch.

He deliberately bestowed the Sky Demon’s Heart to win over people’s loyalty.

And the current situation was the effect he desired!

Over the next three days, Chen Nan manipulated Ling Wenti, this puppet, to act tyrannically, plundering everywhere.

As the saying goes, ’Those who follow me prosper; those who resist perish.’ The cultivators from the main cities in the Abyss Prison grumbled until, in the end, under a deluge of curses, they chose to submit.

In these three days, Chen Nan had slain three more City Lords.

As a result, their ranks swelled to nearly a thousand.

It’s important to know that the entire Abyss Prison had only three to four thousand individuals, with a thousand or so being the old, weak, sick, and disabled, leaving only one or two thousand capable individuals.

This formidable force gathered together was immensely powerful.

From ancient times to the present, no one had succeeded in uniting a thousand Immortal Domain practitioners.

It could be said that currently, Chen Nan held half of the Abyss Prison under his control!

However, what puzzled him was that, despite his high-profile actions, only lower-level, overconfident guards came to challenge him, but they were ultimately slain. Yet, the Prison Lord had not yet appeared.

This Prison Lord was the strongest within the Abyss Prison, and Chen Nan, having been in the Abyss Prison for six days without seeing him, deduced from rumors that the Prison Lord was likely much more powerful than he was.

Still, at this point, he was moving forward with unstoppable momentum, having reached a pinnacle of strength that even if the Prison Lord possessed immense power, he could still fight.

The Abyss Prison had been open for over half of its duration, and Chen Nan felt some anxiety.

In these three days, he took out treasures looted from others, distributing the useless ones as rewards to Wentian City cultivators, while refining the useful Spirit Medicines and treasures.

His power increased at a rapid pace, though his Realm saw no breakthrough.

During these three days, he also discovered a secret about the Abyss Prison.

It turned out that after the Abyss Prison closed, Immortal Spirit Qi would erupt from spatial nodes, enabling rapid Spiritual Medicine growth and greatly accelerating the formation of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, which is why millennia-old Spirit Medicines were commonplace here.

However, Immortal Spirit Qi couldn’t be directly absorbed and refined by cultivators, and those Heavenly Demons only stayed in the Abyss Prison for ten days and would leave once that time was up.

”Those Heavenly Demons come to absorb Spiritual Energy; I’ve seen it before. Unfortunately, these past few days, Immortal Spirit Qi hasn’t descended, otherwise, I could’ve studied if it could be used for my benefit,” Chen Nan lamented slightly.

With a thousand cultivators following him, they’ve gained significant profits, a small portion from external talents but mostly through slaying those Abyss Prison practitioners who refused to submit and sought to defy.

”City Lord, the Luori City Lord wishes to submit to us, and he claims to have good news to personally share with you,” a henchman ran excitedly to report to Ling Wenti.

Even city lords of the same status were now willing to submit!

This showed the high regard that the currently Chen Nan-controlled Wentian City Lord commanded.
