Dashing Student-Chapter 1198: At the End of One’s Tether

"Who on earth are you? Why have you come to my Gu Family to commit atrocities?"

The Gu Family Patriarch pointed at Chen Nan and sternly questioned him. He could already imagine that without the Old Ancestor holding the fort, their Gu Family was going to decline, which made him both sad and angry.

"Do you really not know what your Gu Family has done?" Chen Nan looked fearless, and even his smile carried sarcasm.

Many cultivators in the Gu Family turned pale because they had committed so many evil deeds. Who knew which one Chen Nan was referring to?

If it was their fault that led to the tragic death of the Gu Family’s Old Ancestor, they would be the sinners of the Gu Family.

Seeing the anxious expressions in his family, the Patriarch was displeased and coldly snorted, "No matter what you intend to do, you’re a spent force now."

"You killed our Gu Family’s Old Ancestor; now you’ll pay with your life!"

Chen Nan, however, paid no attention to the Patriarch. He instead adjusted himself to a more comfortable position, leaning against Shi Zhongsheng’s palm, and sneered, "Are you sure you people can keep me here?"

"If I somehow escape, then your Gu Family will suffer greatly!"

His voice carried a hint of taunt, but it made the face of the Patriarch and all the Gu Family cultivators change dramatically. This young man even killed their Old Ancestor; wouldn’t it be even easier for him to kill them?

Since the Old Ancestor was already dead, why bother inviting more trouble from a formidable enemy?

Realizing this, the Patriarch coldly asked, "What exactly do you want?"

Chen Nan laughed coldly in his heart. Their family’s Old Ancestor had just been killed, and the killer was still standing there. They actually thought about compromising. It seemed the decline of the Gu Family was already a foregone conclusion.

A family without cohesion cannot last long.

"First, invite Yun Gu’s grandfather here. Remember, it’s an invitation!" Chen Nan commanded, and the Gu Family cultivators all looked at the Patriarch. Seeing the Patriarch nod, they hurriedly went to invite Yun Gu’s grandfather.

"And also, this place belongs to the Yun family, so you need to vacate it," Chen Nan continued.

A young cultivator from the Gu Family couldn’t hold back and shouted, "Why? This is clearly our Gu Family’s territory!"

Chen Nan’s expression instantly turned dark, and the Blood Evil Qi around him shocked everyone’s heart, even the Gu Family Patriarch was quickly alarmed. How many people must he have killed to gather such a Blood Evil Qi?

This person is absolutely not to be provoked!

The young cultivator from the Gu Family, who stood up for justice, was frightened into sitting weakly on the ground, his face pale. Compared to Chen Nan, these cultivators were simply sheltered flowers.

Their cultivation wasn’t lacking, but their heart and aura were far inferior.

The Gu Family Patriarch pondered for a moment, knowing that without the Gu Family Old Ancestor, staying here would only invite other families to target them. It was better to move away and develop elsewhere.

It’s just unfortunate that they discovered the Secret Realm.

"Fine, we agree to this condition too."

Chen Nan finally nodded with satisfaction, "One last demand: you must cancel the marriage contract with the Yun family and never harass them again. Otherwise, next time, I might not know whose head to smash!"

This blatant threat made the hot-blooded young cultivators of the Gu Family very resentful. However, seeing the headless corpse of their Old Ancestor on the ground, they couldn’t say a word in protest.

The Gu Family Patriarch also understood what Chen Nan was here for. Surprisingly, it was for the Yun family. He felt a bit envious that the Yun family had found such a powerful ally.

Indeed, a daughter is more beneficial than a son.

At this moment, Yun Gu’s grandfather was also brought over. He was a small old man, smiling brightly, leaning on a cane as he approached Chen Nan.

"Are you here to take me away? Are you my grandson-in-law?"

"Sort of." Chen Nan stood up, his attitude much more respectful.

"Great, you’ve finally come to get me. Why hasn’t my granddaughter come?" The old man asked, tilting his head in confusion.

Chen Nan noticed Yun Gu’s grandfather seemed a bit muddled, like a child, so he smiled and coaxed him, "She’s waiting for you at home. You’ll see her after I take you back."

"That’s wonderful." The elderly man chuckled happily.

And then, under everyone’s watchful gaze, Shi Zhongsheng lifted Chen Nan and the old man with his palm and strode away from the Gu Family.

"Patriarch, do we really have to leave?" One of the elders reluctantly asked.

The Patriarch sighed deeply, "If you don’t want to leave, then stay here."

After speaking, he turned to leave, not even giving another glance at the Old Ancestor’s corpse lying on the ground.

Others thought about Chen Nan covered in blood, and the fierce aura made them shiver with fear. They quickly shook their heads. Who would want to stay and face such a madman?

Outside the city, Shi Zhongsheng found a small pond, put down Chen Nan and the elderly man, and could no longer hold on. His body shrank back to its original size, but he looked very weak.

After all, to stand up for Chen Nan, he had used Fatian Xiangdi far beyond the limit, needing a long time to recuperate to recover.

But it also allowed his "Demon Ape Form" to make significant progress, capable of advancing further.

Chen Nan removed his blood-stained clothes and jumped into the pond, washing off the bloodstains, while the old man sat sleepy on the stone by the shore.

Once he cleaned himself, Chen Nan changed into clean clothes, flicked his sleeves, and a vine broke through the earth, followed by more vines growing.

Above the vines was a luxurious wooden house, precisely the Wood Demon.

Chen Nan carried the elderly man into the wooden house and placed him on the bed, then took out healing pills to start recovering from his injuries.

The wounds from the wooden spikes had almost healed before he left the Gu Family, but he needed to treat his internal injuries.

With no words spoken overnight, when Chen Nan opened his eyes again, he found the old man sitting before him, looking at him, "Grandson-in-law, you’re finally awake, I’m hungry."

Chen Nan had recovered significantly and nodded with a smile. He also checked the old man’s pulse, discovering he was suffering from old age dementia.

Although some spiritual medicine could treat such ailments, unfortunately, he didn’t have any at hand, and it required special searching, which he quietly remembered.

After catching two fish from the pond and grilling them for the old man to eat, Chen Nan headed back to Phecda City, believing all matters had been resolved. Surely Yun Gu wouldn’t refuse him now.

However, what he didn’t expect was, although the Gu Family had compromised, they overlooked one thing. That was the Gu Family’s Young Master, who went to marry into the Yun family, was still in Phecda City.

No one notified him that the wedding was canceled!

So when the Gu Family realized this, they felt the sky was falling and hurriedly rushed to Phecda City, hoping to stop the wedding!
