Dashing Student-Chapter 540 , A Storm is Brewing
The call was from Chu Qi of the Suoming Sect.
This piqued Chen Nan's curiosity. As his confidante, Chu Qi was usually very composed and would not contact him recklessly unless it was something urgent.
What could have possibly happened this time?
Although curious, Chen Nan remained calm. In front of Lin Shiyun, he calmly pressed the answer button.
A gentle and concerned smile played at the corners of his mouth as he softly asked, "Chu Qi, has something happened?"
Over the phone, Chu Qi's voice carried a clear urgency and worry, rushing over like a swift wind: "Chen Nan, I just received reliable information, Poisonous Insect Sect's second Elder Wu Yin has arrived in the provincial city!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Nan's eyebrows slightly raised, and a sharp light flashed across his profound eyes, like a meteor sweeping through the night sky.
His face gradually formed a meaningful smile as he said slowly, "People from the Poisonous Insect Sect have finally shown themselves!"
At this moment, his thoughts involuntarily drifted back to some time ago.
By his own strength, he had eliminated Yang Ji, a traitor from the Poisonous Insect Sect, and it was after that thrilling confrontation that he inadvertently obtained the Sect Leader Token, a symbol of the highest authority of the Poisonous Insect Sect.
Since then, he had been waiting for someone from the Poisonous Insect Sect to appear.
After all, according to the ancient traditions long upheld by the Poisonous Insect Sect, he was now on the threshold of becoming the next Sect Leader.
Once he succeeded in ascending to the position of Sect Leader of the Poisonous Insect Sect, it would be like holding two keys that unlocked a formidable power, allowing him to mobilize the substantial forces of both the Poisonous Insect Sect and Suoming Sect.
At that time, he would be able to use all available resources to investigate Lin Yu's whereabouts without reservation, and seek justice for his unjustly murdered father!
Chu Qi sighed softly on the other end of the phone, her voice filled with concern, "Chen Nan, don't be too optimistic just yet. Wu Yin's visit to the provincial city isn't to support your succession; his real intent might very well be to see you dead."
"Even though you possess the Sect Leader Token of the Poisonous Insect Sect, the deeply ingrained traditional views of those who have long been secluded in the Miao Border will not allow an outsider to control the great authority of the Poisonous Insect Sect."
After a slight pause, Chu Qi added, "Also! I've received news that Wu Yin has secretly colluded with Lin Yu. In my opinion, these two are definitely going to ally against you, so you must be very cautious on your end."
Chen Nan's brows furrowed tightly, his normally gentle face now covered in frost.
He never expected the people from the Poisonous Insect Sect would blatantly ignore the rules and breach the long-standing agreements, moreover colluding with his father's murderer.
Thinking of this, a surge of intense anger swelled like a raging undercurrent in his heart.
Yet his face still carried a nonchalant and indifferent expression, his tone laced with disdain and pride, "Let alone just a second Elder of the Poisonous Insect Sect."
"Even if all the strong members of the Poisonous Insect Sect come out in full force, I can make them come without return and be buried here in this provincial city!"
His voice was not very loud, but it resounded with an undeniable commanding confidence.
On the phone, Chu Qi spoke even more gravely, each word seeming to bear the weight of a thousand pounds: "Chen Nan, I well understand that your strength is extraordinary, but you must not underestimate the elders of the Poisonous Insect Sect."
"Even though Wu Yin holds the position of second Elder, his proficiency in Gu Technique has already reached the terrifying level of Peak."
"In front of him, the other elders of the Poisonous Insect Sect fade into insignificance, incapable of being compared."
Pausing briefly, Chu Qi continued, "Besides that, I've found out something even more troubling."
"This time Wu Yin has come to the provincial city, he has not only come in person but also brought with him the Four Great Vajra of the Poisonous Insect Sect."
"These Four Great Vajra have actually been dead for many years."
"However, the Poisonous Insect Sect, making use of their eerie secret techniques, actually turned them into undying Puppets."
"These Puppets possess immense strength, are insensitive to pain, and fight fearlessly and ferociously, making their combat power extremely terrifying."
"Facing such opponents, you must be extremely careful." Chu Qi finished speaking in one breath, her voice full of worry, knowing well the unprecedented severe challenge Chen Nan was about to face.
Chen Nan quietly listened to Chu Qi's narration.
After a moment of silence, he calmly said, "Chu Qi, I have taken note, thank you for informing me of this."
After ending the call.
Chen Nan's gaze returned to the dining table, and seeing Lin Shiyun's worried face across him, he slightly curled his lips, revealing a comforting smile: "It's okay, it's just some minor troubles, don't worry."
Lin Shiyun, though full of doubts, seeing that Chen Nan did not wish to discuss further, she had no choice but to keep her worries to herself.
The atmosphere during the following dinner time noticeably became somewhat gloomy.
Chen Nan, on the surface, continued to chat with Lin Shiyun, but seemed somewhat distracted.
He disliked the feeling of being watched, it made him feel uncomfortable all over!
Lin Shiyun also noticed Chen Nan's distraction, yet did not know how to comfort him.
Soon, the dinner ended.
Walking side by side with Lin Shiyun on the way back to school, the night breeze gently swept by, but it could not dispel the gloom in Chen Nan's heart.
Upon reaching the school gate, Chen Nan stopped, looked at Lin Shiyun, and said seriously, "Shiyun, you go back to school first, I have some matters to deal with."

A trace of worry flashed in Lin Shiyun's eyes, but she obediently nodded her head and cautioned, "Then you must be careful."
Watching Lin Shiyun's figure disappear into the campus, Chen Nan took a deep breath and turned around to leave.
He knew clearly, rather than sitting and waiting to be killed, waiting for the people from the Poisonous Insect Sect to come find him, it would be better to take the initiative to strike.
Because just now, he had used the King of Ten Thousand Gu in his body, and clearly felt that in the darkness, a pair of eyes were watching him.
This means that once he goes to a relatively secluded, deserted place, those hidden in the darkness are likely to appear.
After all, even if they want to eliminate him, they wouldn't dare to make a move in public!
With that thought, Chen Nan leisurely strolled towards the deserted factory to the north of the Underground City!
The place was overgrown with weeds, surrounded by silence, with only the occasional sound of wild cats, adding a bit more eerie atmosphere.
Chen Nan stepped into the factory, dust rose under his feet, and the moonlight shone through the broken windows onto the floor, creating patches of mottled light and shadow.
At this moment.
A black cloud appeared in the sky.
The black cloud covered the moon, shrouding everything in darkness.
A cold wind howled from afar, giving a sense of an impending storm.
The atmosphere at the scene also became heavy!
