Ten Thousand Beasts City.

After capturing the three, Mo Yan, Xu Wencheng ordered people to release the news.

Although he watched Chen Nan jump off the cliff, he still felt uneasy.

After all, Chen Nan's rise was too rapid, so fast that even he was somewhat alarmed.

Only by seeing Chen Nan's corpse with his own eyes would this matter end.

As for the three, Mo Yan, only Xu Man and Mu Wanqing caught his attention slightly, after all, these two are beauties, making him intrigued.

Fortunately, Xu Wencheng didn't like forcing others, so they didn't suffer at his hands.

Chen Nan and Xu Wencheng's affair had already spread throughout Ten Thousand Beasts City. Previously in the Wuyin Forest, Chen Nan fought and killed over a hundred cultivators, shocking the masses.

Those who witnessed the tragic scene that day called Chen Nan the "Flame Demon."

Xu Wencheng announced that he must kill Chen Nan or at least see his corpse, even offering a bounty that caused many cultivators to swarm into the Wuyin Forest just to find Chen Nan.

In their eyes, Chen Nan fighting against a Golden Core Stage Cultivator was tantamount to courting death, so no one believed in Chen Nan's success. Many lamented that such a genius was about to be snuffed out here.

However, in Ten Thousand Beasts City, there was another person whose thoughts differed from the other cultivators; she hoped that Chen Nan could escape and survive.

On the second floor of the Myriad Phenomena Commerce, Shang Sanniang reclined lazily on a deck chair, her jade-like feet swaying gently.

"I didn't expect a small figure to stir such a storm, truly misjudged it at the time."

Listening to the latest news about Chen Nan, she let out a wry smile.

Initially, it was only out of curiosity that Chen Nan bought the broken sword, but in just a month, the name Flame Demon was known to everyone in Ten Thousand Beasts City.

At that moment, a cultivator hurriedly approached Shang Sanniang.

"Miss, there's new news about Chen Nan; someone found Xu Wencheng, claiming to have seen Chen Nan, and Chen Nan stated he's waiting for Xu Wencheng at Ten Thousand Butterflies Valley."

"Oh? Instead of running away, he's thinking of counterattacking?" Shang Sanniang was quite surprised, "He really is a man with feelings and righteousness."

"But such people often don't survive long."

The reporting cultivator nodded: "Yes, subordinate can't figure out what means he relies on to win, maybe relying on those Phosphorus Butterflies in Ten Thousand Butterflies Valley?"

Shang Sanniang recalled the day they met, Chen Nan solemnly stating his name, the scene vivid in her mind.

Especially now that Chen Nan's fame is immense, that day's scene became even more profound.

"There aren't many interesting people like him. I wonder if he'll survive this time, if he does, perhaps..."

Thinking of the family's demand for her to marry, waves stirred in her heart.

...

Having just escaped danger, Chen Nan faced misfortune.

Mo Yan and the others being captured was the worst situation he envisaged, he didn't expect it to become reality.

But if he actively sought Xu Wencheng, then there would be no turning back.

Facing a Golden Core Stage cultivator was beyond his current ability.

He must turn passivity into activity!

Thus a plan formed spontaneously, albeit not a thorough one, even filled with risk, but it was his only chance.

Ten Thousand Butterflies Valley is a special place in the Wuyin Mountain Range, located at the junction of the outer region and the depths of Wuyin Forest. The place isn't large, but it's the home of Phosphorus Butterflies.

Phosphorus Butterflies are special demon beasts with generally low cultivation, only around the second or third layer of Foundation Establishment. But when facing danger, they release a powder from their body.

This powder ignites upon contact with fire, sometimes causing massive explosions, and they're always seen swarming together, creating a sky-covering spectacle.

Some cultivators even collected the powder to make explosive hidden weapons, effectively used in sudden confrontations.

Chen Nan chose this location, first because few cultivators ventured here, as deeper into Wuyin Forest, high-level demon beasts were prevalent.

Secondly, he aimed to leverage the butterflies' powder to attempt injuring Xu Wencheng.

After all, the phosphorus powder in Ten Thousand Butterflies Valley had accumulated for unknown time, essentially a massive bomb!

Having someone he saved accidentally relay a message to Xu Wencheng, Chen Nan ventured alone to Ten Thousand Butterflies Valley.

The valley's center was filled with blossoming flowers, countless butterflies fluttering over them, resembling a scene from a painting, indescribably beautiful.

Outside the valley, Chen Nan found a spot to sit, contemplating his next steps, inevitably recalling the Netherworld Abyss below the cliff.

Although confirmed by the old monk Cheng Ming that those undead creatures were demon clan members when alive, many mysteries remained unsolved.

Namely, why did demon clan cultivators turn into undead creatures?

Even Cheng Ming was influenced by the dense yin energy there.

Perhaps initially, Cheng Ming truly wished to individually suppress the demon clan cultivators, embodying the bold spirit of 'if not me, then who in hell.'

But over the years, Cheng Ming developed obsessions, questioning why he did these things.

Even if accomplished, how many people knew?

Thus his thinking became increasingly distorted, eventually developing obsessions, seeking body possession, ultimately defeated by the Demon Suppressing Sword.

"Alas, I can only hope that one day I possess enough strength to explore the Netherworld Abyss."

Chen Nan sighed, then began fine-tuning his plan.

Three days later, a figure appeared outside Ten Thousand Butterflies Valley, it was Xu Wencheng!

To Xu Wencheng, he could rely on his cultivation to disregard schemes, regardless of whether Chen Nan set up numerous traps or aimed to lure him away.

As a Golden Core Stage cultivator, he had the means to handle them.

Back in Ten Thousand Beasts City, he left preparations. If Chen Nan attempted a rescue, he would undoubtedly perish.

Thus, upon receiving the message, he decisively came to Ten Thousand Butterflies Valley.

"Chen Nan, I have arrived!"

Sound mixed with powerful mana spread outward, visible sound waves rippled like waves, startling the Phosphorus Butterflies within the valley.

In an instant, countless Phosphorus Butterflies took flight, blocking the sky, settling densely upon the cliffs.

From afar, one could even see the cliffs reflecting densely packed glimmers.

Seeing Chen Nan standing in the valley, Xu Wencheng sneered as he stepped in.

"I knew you weren't that easy to kill, but daring to invite me here, did you gain something from beneath the cliff?"

His tone carried ridicule and mockery, though his heart burned with excitement.

Previously, when Chen Nan leaped off the cliff, he tried it too, discovering dense yin energy below, even feeling a terrifying pull attempting to drag him beneath the cliff.

Therefore, when he flew back to the cliff, he deliberately searched for its bottom, finding it ordinary with little yin energy.

Thus, he concluded the cliff's base could be an undiscovered secret realm, accessible only by jumping from the cliff!
