Dashing Student-Chapter 1317: Unimpeded Heartstate

Deng Yunhe stared at the Deng Family Patriarch, but his words were aimed at destroying hearts.

"You've all contributed so much to the Deng Family, but in the eyes of the Patriarch, none of you matter as much as Deng Yunfei."

"In the eyes of the Patriarch, talent is everything. With me gone from the family, who will be the next to be framed and marginalized?"

The cultivators of the Deng Family paused in their tracks, recalling that ever since Deng Yunfei returned to the family, all resources were channeled towards him.

But they were also members of the Deng Family, so why play favorites? If they stood in Deng Yunfei's way, they would meet the same fate as Deng Yunhe.

Now, the hearts of the Deng Family members were cold.

It was clearly just a simple strategy of sowing discord, yet it worked, proving how unpopular Deng Yunfei was in the family, and that many were already discontent at heart.

Seeing the expressions on the faces of the Deng Family, the Patriarch was furious.

"You wretch, stop sowing discord here. If you still want to return to the Deng Family, have your followers stand down!" the Patriarch continued to shout, exuding a heavy pressure.

Deng Yunhe snorted coldly, fearless: "What bullshit Deng Family is this? What's the point of keeping such a Deng Family?"

"I, Deng Yunhe, swear here that I will rebuild the Deng Family in the future. You people can stay with Deng Yunfei and watch it decay slowly."

He laughed loudly and turned to leave the Deng Family.

"You wretch, prepare to die!"

The Patriarch, consumed by rage, waved his sleeve, and the Sharp Gold Qi within a hundred miles stirred, instantly forming several sharp blades in front of him, howling as they launched!

The ground was torn apart by the blades, leaving several deep ravines. The Deng Family cultivators hurriedly dodged.

Chen Nan, who had stayed idle, finally moved, summoning his Tooth Chain, from which four beast teeth flew out, instantly transforming into four giant beasts that roared skyward and leapt towards the sharp blades.

The blades pierced through the four beasts in an instant, shredding their bodies with Sharp Gold Qi.

But soon, the beasts' bodies reformed and lunged at the Deng Family Patriarch in the sky.

Each beast was formed only with mana, making them fragile, yet they all possessed the power of a demon beast at the peak of the Golden Core Realm.

Therefore, even the Patriarch had to handle them with caution.

Deng Yunhe had finally fulfilled his wish, trampling on Deng Yunfei's head. Having no regrets, he followed Zheng Yunzhou and the others in a swift flight.

Slapping faces and then fleeing—it was truly exhilarating!

Chen Nan stayed behind, watching Deng Yunhe and the others escape into the distance. Only then did he recall the four beast teeth, after which Thunder spread over his back, and he vanished from the spot, causing a booming sound in the street.

The Patriarch saw the chaos on the ground and Deng Yunfei unconscious, glaring with rage.

"Chase them, chase them for me! Whoever kills Deng Yunhe will be the next patriarch of the Deng Family!"

This incentive instantly tempted the Deng Family cultivators, who all rushed out in pursuit.

However, Chen Nan and the others had planned this chaos in the Deng Family beforehand and had no intention of a head-on confrontation, so they quickly fled the city.

They took out their flying boat, soaring into the sky and completely leaving Fengliu Island.

They came swiftly, and left swiftly, leaving only the furious Deng Family members jumping with rage behind them.

Having escaped far away, Deng Yunhe was still savoring the feeling of stepping on his brother. It made him a little giddy.

"So, how does it feel this time?" Chen Nan asked with a smile.

Deng Yunhe finally returned to his senses, turning to Chen Nan and his group with a beaming smile, giving a deep bow: "Thank you all—I will never forget this great favor."

As he spoke, the mana within him began to flow unintentionally, bringing joy to his heart.

"Haha, now that my heart is clear, my cultivation is about to break through. Please wait a moment while I briefly retreat into seclusion."

Saying this, he hurried off into the cabin.

The others smiled and shook their heads before going off to cultivate on their own.

Chen Nan found Ning Yu still standing on the deck, seemingly lost in thought, and couldn't help but ask: "What are you thinking about? If you don't want to go back, you don't have to."

"You're free now; no one can control you."

But Ning Yu shook her head: "No, if this matter isn't resolved, my heart will always have a flaw. Even if I don't go mad, my cultivation will likely never improve."

"Moreover, after seeing Yunhe's revenge and his cultivation improve, I feel I have to go."

Chen Nan understood; Ning Yu's Heart Demon came from the young master who once tried to force her into marriage. So he smiled and said: "Don't worry, I'm here. Do whatever you want."

...

A day later, Deng Yunhe came out of seclusion, his face full of joy. His cultivation had now broken through to the mid-stage of the Golden Core Realm Fifth Layer. Given his aptitude, this process would normally take at least a few years.

But now, having advanced to the mid-stage of the Golden Core Realm Fifth Layer in just a month or two, it truly highlighted how important a clear heart is to a cultivator.

"Thank you all for your help in resolving my obsession. I don't have much of value with me, so let me make a humble offering."

Saying this, he pulled out a storage bag from his chest, chuckling: "This is Deng Yunfei's storage bag."

The group quickly wiped the Divine Sense mark off the storage bag and then extracted its contents, causing them all to gasp in surprise.

"Flowing Light Sword? Wasn't this sword enshrined in the ancestral shrine, and yet it was given to Deng Yunfei?"

"Is this the Heavenly Flow Pill? It's worth a fortune for boosting the cultivation speed of Golden Core Realm cultivators, and Deng Yunfei actually had dozens of them?"

"Over a hundred Seventh Grade Talismans; did they give all the family's talismans to this kid? The Patriarch has gone senile, practically handing the family's assets to Deng Yunfei!"

The more Deng Yunhe spoke, the angrier he became. Not even during his most favored times in the family did he receive such treatment; it was like night and day.

"Well, now they're ours. Take whatever you like," he said.

The group didn't stand on ceremony and began selecting items, except for Chen Nan, who did not move.

After everyone had made their picks, Deng Yunhe gave all the Spirit Stones, totaling over a million, from the storage bag to Chen Nan. Although not much, Chen Nan still accepted them.

After all, they hadn't exerted much effort this time, so it was essentially free for them.

"I can't just take your Spirit Stones for nothing," Chen Nan said with a faint smile, "I made some adjustments to the Soul Destruction Nail you borrowed."

"Although it may not kill Deng Yuntian, it'll cause him immense pain, and perhaps his cultivation will never advance again."

The Netherworld Karmic Fire is ranked eleventh among Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire, specifically countering the Divine Soul. Chen Nan didn't attach the fire to the Soul Destruction Nail carelessly.

Even he had been wounded by the Netherworld Karmic Fire before, requiring painstaking elixir pill creation for recovery.

Given the Deng Family's capabilities, it would be incredibly difficult for them to restore him fully.
