Dashing Student-Chapter 1273: Utter Humiliation

On the battlefield, the Divine Calculator, dressed in a Daoist robe, was crouched among the corpses, transferring the storage bags of the deceased cultivators onto himself.

Whether they were from the Demon Sect or the Righteous Alliance, he took them all without hesitation.

A short distance away, several injured cultivators were gathered together, their attention focused on the battle, completely unaware that someone was shamelessly looting the corpses.

"Have you heard? There's someone named Jue Mingzi who actually injured Xiao Lie from the Demon Sect!" one of the injured cultivators suddenly said.

"Jue Mingzi?" Upon hearing this name, the Divine Calculator suddenly stopped his looting, a look of shock on his face: "Could it be someone with the same name?"

"No, no, no, being able to injure Xiao Lie, who was previously unknown, it must be that bastard Chen Nan!"

He hadn't forgotten how Chen Nan had extorted him back then, and it was etched in his heart.

The injured cultivators continued to speak, their words full of admiration for Chen Nan, who had become a beacon of hope for the Righteous Alliance, though unfortunately, he was now being hunted by Xiao Lie of the Demon Sect, his fate unknown.

The Divine Calculator stroked his chin, pondering, "This kid is in the spotlight; if I cooperate with him, perhaps I can earn even more."

"Heh, kid, you'd better not die, because the Daoist still has some scores to settle with you!"

...

A month had passed since Chen Nan injured Xiao Lie. During this short time, Xiao Lie had been relentlessly pursuing Chen Nan, but he had been unable to catch him.

"This kid slips away like an eel, a great humiliation!"

Xiao Lie's temper was growing increasingly violent. Though the Power of Laws lingered in his wounds, his cultivation was strong, and a few days ago, he had thoroughly purged the Power of Laws, and his wounds had healed completely.

But whenever he thought of Chen Nan, he felt bursts of pain in his chest, as if the wounds were still there. If he didn't kill Chen Nan, it might always be this way.

"Search for him; there's not even an island nearby. I don't believe he can completely disappear!"

Xiao Lie coldly ordered his three accompanying demon cultivators, who immediately dispersed, using their Divine Sense to scan every area of the sea, even killing any sea beasts they encountered.

The surface of the sea was already littered with the corpses of many sea beasts, their blood staining the water red.

Finding no trace of Chen Nan nearby, Xiao Lie led his men to chase further afield.

Just after they left, from the belly of a sea beast that had already died, a large hole was suddenly torn open, and Chen Nan, covered in blood, emerged from it, floating on the sea surface.

During this month, he hadn't been able to rest, his nerves stretched to the limit, his body nearing exhaustion, on the verge of collapse.

The cost of using the Space Law was that his body bore horrifying wounds because his body simply couldn't withstand the Power of Laws.

Unable to stop and heal, the wounds were still present, looking extremely ghastly.

Just as he was about to be caught by Xiao Lie, he suddenly thought of the time he had hidden Ning Yu and the others inside a demon beast's belly, so he replicated this scene.

After being swallowed by a sea beast, he used the Life and Death Technique and Concealing Technique to completely hide his aura, avoiding detection.

Unless a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator acted, Chen Nan was confident he could evade Xiao Lie.

"Xiao Lie, I've remembered this name."

The precious time bought allowed Chen Nan to catch his breath, but he quickly forced his body to fly in the opposite direction of Xiao Lie and his men.

Not long after, Xiao Lie returned with his men. Upon seeing a sea beast split open, he understood everything.

"Damn little mouse, how dare you trick me! I will tear him to pieces, chase him down!"

Another round of pursuit began. However, this time, Chen Nan had the initiative. In a certain sea area, he completely concealed his aura again and changed direction.

All the way chasing here, Xiao Lie, assuming Chen Nan was using the same trick, slaughtered all the sea beasts within a hundred miles. But when they split open the sea beasts, they found no trace of Chen Nan.

This made Xiao Lie curse angrily. He realized he had been tricked by Chen Nan once again, and this feeling of being played with was more unbearable than being killed.

If word got out that Xiao Lie of the Demon Sect was toyed with by a Fourth Layer Golden Core Realm cultivator, he would surely become a laughingstock for everyone.

At this time, Chen Nan had found a deserted island, which had many demon beasts and a rich growth of spiritual medicine, an undiscovered treasure.

In the Endless Sea, danger and opportunity coexist like this.

Though uncertain why Xiao Lie always caught up, Chen Nan knew he couldn't stay in one place for long, so he marked the island's location on a map and began to heal.

For Chen Nan, whether cultivating or healing, it's like a bottomless pit that requires an abundance of Spirit Stones for sustenance.

Fortunately, he had previously looted Zhuo Ying and obtained many Spirit Stones; otherwise, he'd have nothing to subsist on.

After resting for a day and spending over a million Spirit Stones, Chen Nan hurriedly left, unaware of where to go, only knowing he couldn't stop.

Crossing the vast sea, another island appeared on the horizon, where faintly visible figures moved.

This heightened Chen Nan's vigilance, as he was deep in the Demon Sect's territory, and any cultivators encountered here were undoubtedly demon cultivators.

A sudden idea struck him: continuing to flee without end wasn't a solution. If caught, he wouldn't even have a chance to fight back.

Therefore, at the very least, he had to recover from his injuries and, by hiding on an island controlled by the Demon Sect, he might create a dark under the lamp situation, so Xiao Lie wouldn't realize it at first.

Chen Nan smiled slightly and swiftly flew towards the island. As he approached, he confirmed his thoughts: this was indeed an island of demon cultivators.

However, it wasn't a camp, just an ordinary island, home to many ordinary people besides the demon cultivators living as slaves.

The strongest demon cultivator on the island was merely at the Third Layer of the Golden Core Realm, with a group of Foundation Establishment Realm demon cultivators as guards. With fewer than a hundred, they could oversee tens of thousands of ordinary people on the island.

Chen Nan sneaked onto the island to investigate and found that the lives of those living humans were quite miserable.

The island produced a tree called the "Dark Star Mulberry Tree," used to cultivate the "Fallen Heaven Silkworm," whose black silk could be woven into a special fabric called "Thousand Souls Silk."

Thousand Souls Silk, with a surface as smooth as a mirror, could be refined into Spiritual Artifacts and made into various garments, offering some defense and being dust-resistant, highly sought after by demon cultivators.

The ordinary people on the island made their living through this.
