Dashing Student-Chapter 1290: True Colors Revealed

"I’m here to see that little guy, Jue Mingzi. Hasn’t he come back yet?"

The obese Master Xiaotian sat at the top seat, bluntly stating his purpose.

Chen Nan caused a big commotion over at the Demon Sect, even making the prodigy Xiao Lie fall, and earned a nickname "Life-taking Yama" there.

Particularly in the last battle, he was surrounded by hundreds of Demon Sect Cultivators in a canyon, fighting a bloody battle for three days and nights. This made his nickname widely known, even the Righteous Alliance heard about it.

As for Chen Nan’s final outcome, the Demon Sect remained tight-lipped, but Master Xiaotian had his intelligence sources and knew Chen Nan hadn’t died.

Such a talent thrilled him; if everyone in the Righteous Alliance were like Chen Nan, they would have defeated the Demon Sect long ago.

Therefore, Master Xiaotian estimated the Solid Soul Pill’s effect would expire in a few days and specifically came to this camp, intending not to let him get bullied by Yi Mingzi.

Yi Mingzi was very disgusted inside, but he still forced a smile on the surface, chuckling, "Not yet, but Jue Mingzi is so powerful, and he’s being called ’Life-taking Yama,’ he should be fine."

The sarcastic tone was evident, even to Master Xiaotian, mixed with a hint of jealousy and schadenfreude.

He was hoping Chen Nan had died over at the Demon Sect.

But Master Xiaotian was not worried about Yi Mingzi’s attitude now; he was filled with anxiety: "Nothing’s happened, right? Although I don’t know how he did it, he should have escaped."

"Otherwise, given the Demon Sect’s nature, they would have announced it to the world already... By the way, the effect of the Solid Soul Pill should be about to expire, right?"

Yi Mingzi’s face showed a smile, nodding, "Exactly, it’s today. If he hasn’t returned by today, I’m afraid..."

"Ah, losing such talent, it truly makes one’s heart ache."

Seeing his pretentious act, Master Xiaotian was very uncomfortable. It was precisely because of too much infighting within the Righteous Alliance that it gradually declined.

At the same time, he was also extremely nervous. If Chen Nan really didn’t make it back, wouldn’t the Righteous Alliance lose a major talent?

Time passed second by second, and two hours before the final deadline, Master Xiaotian couldn’t bear it anymore and suddenly stood up.

"No, I have to go find him!" 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Yi Mingzi was overjoyed in his heart, as he had already presumed Chen Nan would not return, so of course, he wouldn’t let Master Xiaotian ruin his plans.

"Uncle-Master, as an Elder of the Righteous Alliance, if you go to the Demon Sect, you’ll be breaking the rules set before. Are you trying to provoke a full-scale war between the Righteous and Demon Sects?"

"Of course not, I’m just going to find Jue Mingzi!" Master Xiaotian slightly furrowed his brows, showing displeasure.

Yi Mingzi sneered twice, "Jue Mingzi is indeed strong, but compared to the Righteous Alliance, he’s nothing at all. If any loss happened because of him, could you bear this responsibility?"

Master Xiaotian’s face sank, his once jovial round face showing no trace of humor at this moment, exuding an intense murderous aura, and the massive pressure forced Yi Mingzi back several steps, his vital aura surging chaotically.

"Yi Mingzi, don’t think I don’t know about your relationship with Jue Mingzi. In my eyes, a hundred of you aren’t worth one Jue Mingzi!"

Hearing such derogatory comments, Yi Mingzi was not angry, but laughed loudly instead, "You’re right, I hope Jue Mingzi dies, and the worse the better!"

"Even if he didn’t die at the hands of the Demon Cultivators, he should have died under the Soul Locking Talisman. What can you do even if you favor him?"

Master Xiaotian’s expression was as dark as water, "You’ve finally spoken your mind, you despicable person. Jue Mingzi should be able to play a greater role, not die as a result of schemes by the likes of you."

"Hmph, what does he count as? Just a Loose Cultivator with no background!" Yi Mingzi snorted coldly, "Think whatever you like. He’s just an unknown pawn, and I’ll become an Elder based on his merit."

"Wake up, this is the reality!"

Master Xiaotian clenched his fists, wanting to slap Yi Mingzi dead, but he couldn’t do that. Yi Mingzi’s senior brothers, sisters, and Master Canglan were all important figures of the Righteous Alliance.

If he killed Yi Mingzi, causing turmoil in the Righteous Alliance, especially with the current tension between the righteous and demon factions, he would be a sinner.

"Uncle-Master, if there’s nothing else, go take a rest and don’t meddle. A small figure like Jue Mingzi, I can easily deal with him with a flick of my fingers; what can you do?"

He laughed arrogantly, fully exposing his true nature.

Unexpectedly, a dark shadow suddenly fell from the sky, its body wrapped in flames, instantly burning the tent to ashes.

Boom!

The land where the tent stood collapsed with a bang, and in the smoke, Chen Nan’s figure gradually emerged, looking at Yi Mingzi with eyes full of murderous intent.

"Master Xiaotian can’t act against you, but I certainly won’t let you off!"

Chen Nan had heard their entire conversation clearly, so before Yi Mingzi could react, he stepped forward, shattering the ground beneath his feet, and punched Jue Mingzi’s face with the force of ten-thousand-jin.

With a bang, Yi Mingzi’s body was sent flying like a cannonball, crashing through several tents before slamming into a distant mountainside with a boom.

Everyone in the camp was dumbfounded, their minds blank.

Yi Mingzi was actually... hit?

Waving away the smoke and dust, Master Xiaotian looked at Chen Nan, full of surprise and delight, "Jue Mingzi, it’s great that you could come back."

Chen Nan cupped his hands in salute, "Thank you, Master, for speaking up for me, this junior will remember it in his heart."

"No worries, it’s good that you came back. I also can’t stand the ways of the Righteous Alliance, but it’s hard to change on my own." Master Xiaotian’s tone was somewhat forlorn.

"By the way, I heard you were surrounded and attacked by Demon Cultivators. How did you escape?"

Chen Nan smiled awkwardly, he couldn’t possibly say that a Witch saved him, or he would be executed as a Demon Sect traitor immediately.

Fortunately, he had already prepared a story on the way back, saying a benefactor helped him.

Because he still had the Soul Locking Talisman, Chen Nan and the others hurried back after recovering from their injuries, just making it in time on the last day.

The Righteous Alliance’s Soul Locking Talisman even Tu Susu couldn’t undo, so they could only let Chen Nan return. At this time, Ning Yu, Zheng Yunzhou, and the others also arrived at the camp.

"We barely made it in time, hurry and ask Yi Mingzi for the Solid Soul Pill, I don’t want to die!" Deng Yunhe shouted.

Ning Yu pointed into the distance, "Yi Mingzi is over there, you can go ask him."

Just then, a furious voice from Yi Mingzi came from a distance, "Jue Mingzi, how dare you hit me? I’ll make you pay!"
