Dashing Student-Chapter 1261: Enemies Meet

After Chen Nan shot two arrows, he remained on the flying boat without moving. He was already very weak, and shooting two arrows was already his utmost effort. The rest would have to rely on Deng Yunhe and the others themselves.

Fortunately, Deng Yunhe and the others were quite capable. Their strength wasn’t as bad as feared. Facing two heavily injured demon cultivators, Deng Yunhe and Daoist Cui managed to secure a difficult victory together.

Subsequently, the two went to assist Ning Yu and Zheng Yunzhou, and eventually, with their superior numbers, they annihilated the demon cultivators and returned to the flying boat.

Deng Yunhe, holding two Jiao Long Arrows and the storage bags from the five demon cultivators, came to Chen Nan with a chuckle and said, "Big brother, here are your arrows. I brought them back for you."

Chen Nan put away the arrows and storage bags, nodded slightly, and said, "I am not your big brother."

"Heh, same difference. If I say you’re my big brother, then you’re my sworn big brother." Deng Yunhe went along with the flow.

Originally thought to be a bad-tempered young master, little did they know it was just a facade.

Zheng Yunzhou and the others were also aware that if Chen Nan hadn’t killed that bald demon cultivator, they would have been in trouble today, so they looked at Chen Nan with respect.

Even when Chen Nan took all the storage bags from the demon cultivators, they had no complaints, as these were spoils of his battle.

A strong person is never looked down upon wherever they go. Chen Nan merely nodded slightly, said nothing, and continued to close his eyes to recover.

Seeing that Chen Nan didn’t make any arrangements, Zheng Yunzhou, the most reliable-looking, stood up: "Everyone, we’ve just been through a battle, let’s quickly heal and recover."

"The commotion here must have been noticed by the camp over there; we just need to wait for them to come."

The Righteous Alliance envoy finally dared to come out now, but no longer dared to be arrogant towards Zheng Yunzhou and the others, instead, smiling apologetically: "That’s right, I’ve already notified the camp over there, and they’ll be sending someone soon."

No one paid attention to the envoy; instead, they each found a corner on the flying boat to take elixir pills to heal and recover. The envoy, feeling awkward, walked off to the side.

Chen Nan checked the storage bags of the demon cultivators and almost threw them away, as there was hardly anything inside, not even worth the value of a single storage bag.

Clearly, they also knew that coming to attack was a near-death experience, so they left their belongings before coming. Cursing his luck, Chen Nan tossed the storage bags aside.

Not long after, the Righteous Alliance cultivators flew over, led by the camp’s responsible person.

Zheng Yunzhou and the accompanying envoy stepped forward to recount the events, causing the leader’s expression to change: "Damn it, these demon cultivators actually ambushed the rear, how shameless!"

"It’s fortunate you’re all fine. I’ll report this to the alliance, and I’ll now distribute the merit points for slaying the demon cultivators to you."

Slaying demon cultivators earns merit points, which can be exchanged in the Righteous Alliance for elixir pills, spirit stones, even spiritual artifacts, magic, and so on.

Therefore, although the Righteous Demon Battlefield is dangerous, obtaining merit points also brings benefits.

The leader collected the tokens carried by Chen Nan and the others, issued by the Righteous Alliance, which also record merit points. When Chen Nan received his token again, he saw it recorded one hundred merit points.

A Sixth-Layer Golden Core Realm demon cultivator is only worth a hundred merit points, and Zheng Yunzhou and the others received between thirty to fifty merit points each.

"Alright, you can choose to return to the camp to rest or proceed to the battlefield. I need to report this matter, so you can make your own decision."

"But don’t forget the ’Soul Locking Talisman’ on you; within a month, you must head to the battlefield to obtain a Solid Soul Pill."

After speaking, the leader left with the demon cultivators’ bodies, and after a discussion, Chen Nan and the others decided to head to the battlefield, as they’d have to go sooner or later.

After the flying boat crossed a vast sea area, an island appeared beneath the white clouds. Upon landing, they found it was also a camp, with many Righteous Alliance cultivators present.

However, unlike the previous camp, the atmosphere here was heavy and oppressive, with cultivators patrolling back and forth continuously, maintaining strict defense.

As soon as the flying boat landed, two patrolling cultivators flew over and looked at Chen Nan and the others with a slight smile: "Newcomers? Just in time, we’re short on manpower."

It’s well-known that those assigned here have offended someone, so they weren’t particularly courteous to Chen Nan and the others.

The Righteous Alliance envoy hurriedly controlled the flying boat to leave after delivering the people; he didn’t want to be with them as none were easy to get along with.

"Come with me to meet the lord. The lord will assign you tasks."

The patrolling cultivator spoke and led them into the camp, and Chen Nan and the others quickly followed. Before long, they entered a tent.

At the top seat inside the tent sat a rotund man, his face full of fat, exuding a comical air, yet no one dared to underestimate him.

Because the aura unconsciously emanating from him indicated that this person was a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator!

To the left of the fat cultivator, a young cultivator was speaking with him.

"Nephew, you’re doing a great job. I’ll find you a safer place later, so your master doesn’t worry." The fat cultivator said slowly.

The young cultivator showed a confident smile: "Master, I still prefer it here. I enjoy the sense of danger and the opportunity to slay demon cultivators."

This remark made the fat cultivator nod continuously: "It’s excellent that you think that way."

At this moment, the cultivator leading Chen Nan and the others stepped forward, clasped his hands, and said, "Master, lord, the new cultivators are here."

The young cultivator turned at this moment, making Chen Nan’s heart sink instantly.

For the young cultivator was someone he’d encountered before, none other than Yi Mingzi, who had fought over the Golden Marrow Grass!

If it hadn’t been for Yi Mingzi’s mastery of a special escape technique, Chen Nan would have slain him last time. He hadn’t expected to meet in such a setting again.

Yi Mingzi also recognized Chen Nan and immediately stepped forward: "It’s you?!"

He narrowed his eyes, eyes glinting with a snake-like light, filled with hatred.

Noticing the apparent enmity between the two, the fat cultivator curiously asked: "Nephew, do you know this person?"

"I’ve met him once, and the impression was quite deep." Yi Mingzi said through clenched teeth.

Chen Nan’s face turned extremely grim, as it was clear the fat cultivator was acquainted with Yi Mingzi. If they intended to act against him, he would be in a perilous situation.

Yet unexpectedly, the fat cultivator began to speak on his behalf.

"Since you’ve come here, put aside personal grudges, and jointly fight against the demon cultivators; that’s the priority, dear nephew, don’t you agree?"
