Chapter 383: Ignoring

"This... this is the Ancestor's head!"

After a long while, Zhuge An finally snapped out of his shock. He looked at Zhang Nuo in disbelief, his eyes filled with confusion and fear!

How could the head of Nanxuan Laozu be in Zhang Nuo's hands? Could it be that he had killed him? When did this happen? A series of questions burst like bubbles in Zhuge An's mind; for a moment, he could not accept this fact!

To him, Nanxuan Laozu was the pillar of the entire Nanxuan Sect! Once the protection of this Nascent Soul Stage cultivator was lost, he had no direction for the path ahead!

His mind suddenly went blank. Zhuge An did not know what to say. He just stared straight at the head of Nanxuan Laozu, his lips trembling, but he could not make a sound!

Just at this moment, two streaks of light flew down from the small hill. Zhang Nuo swept his Divine Sense lightly and discovered that the arrivals were none other than Zhuo Zhiyan and Zhou Yi!

When these two saw the head of Nanxuan Laozu, they also stood there in a daze. After a long time, they looked at Zhang Nuo with expressions of shock.

"What on earth is going on?"

Zhuo Zhiyan was the first who could not help but ask. They had gone through all sorts of hardships to reach the Immortal Illusion Continent, but the results were not very satisfactory. Now, huddled on this small hill under the protection of Nanxuan Laozu, ordinary small factions dared not provoke them easily! But now that Nanxuan Laozu was dead, their survival became the biggest problem!

"What's going on? Hmph! Do you think I would kill him for no reason?"

Zhang Nuo's face was very calm. He reached out, threw the head of Nanxuan Laozu onto the ground, then gently wiped the blood from his hands, looking at Zhuge An and the others with an indifferent expression!

"Zhang..."

Zhou Yi wanted to ask something, but when he sensed Zhang Nuo's cultivation level, his expression changed in shock. He looked at Zhang Nuo as if looking at a monster, but the rest of his words remained unspoken for a long time!

At the same time, Zhuo Zhiyan also discovered that Zhang Nuo's cultivation had greatly advanced, and a look of astonishment appeared on her pretty face! Seeing the vivid expressions of these two, Zhang Nuo just smiled and then said indifferently:

"I killed Nanxuan because he once harmed me! I suppose you all know about the incident with the Skull Monk back then!"

At the mention of the Skull Monk, the expressions of the three changed simultaneously. Especially Zhuo Zhiyan; she had seen that monk with her own eyes back then. His profound cultivation and strange palace almost left her with no way back! If it hadn't been for Nanxuan Laozu bringing her out, she probably wouldn't have had a single chance of survival!

Seeing them all lower their heads in silence, Zhang Nuo knew they did not know the inside story, so he did not keep them in suspense any longer and told them the truth of the matter from beginning to end!

The people around were all filled with horror after hearing this. Now that Nanxuan Laozu was dead, whatever Zhang Nuo said might as well be the truth! However, these people were not stupid; if Nanxuan hadn't tried such a trick, Zhang Nuo wouldn't have killed him!

Nowadays, Zhang Nuo had the highest cultivation among them. Even if someone had doubts, they absolutely dared not bring them up. No one's life was given by the wind; the consequences of defying a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator were imaginable!

Zhuge An broke into a cold sweat listening to this. If it weren't for Zhang Nuo's extraordinary divine abilities, he probably would have perished at the bottom of the 'Maze Sea Vortex' long ago!

"I am a person who repays every grievance. Everything Nanxuan did to me, I have repaid him double today! As for you all, you had better return to the Tianyuan Continent early! This place is not suitable for your survival!"

After glancing at the crowd, Zhang Nuo said bluntly!

Zhuge An widened his eyes. The humble Zhang Nuo he had known before no longer existed. Standing before him now was a high and mighty Nascent Soul Stage cultivator.

"Zhang... ah no! Senior! With Nanxuan Laozu dead, given the strength of us people, it is very difficult to return to the Tianyuan Continent. Isn't... isn't this the same as sending us to our deaths?"

Others had not dared to speak, but Zhou Yi finally opened his mouth. Relying on his status as Gao Dakuan's father-in-law, he believed that Zhang Nuo would definitely not refuse to give him face for Gao Dakuan's sake!

"After decades of development, the Immortal Illusion Continent is no longer what it was. How about this: in a moment, I will give you a Jade Slip. Take the Jade Slip and go to a town on the edge of the continent to find the 'Giant Spirit Pavilion'. I believe that with my influence, they will lend you the use of their teleportation array!"

Looking at Zhou Yi, Zhang Nuo did indeed give him some face because of Gao Dakuan!

"A teleportation array? There is actually a teleportation array that can return directly to the Tianyuan Continent?"

Hope began to appear in Zhou Yi's eyes. He had truly had enough of staying here. Since he couldn't gain any benefits here, it would be better to return to the Song Family; at least there, he wouldn't have to live in fear all day long!

"Although it cannot teleport you directly back to the Tianyuan Continent, at least it won't be as dangerous as when you first arrived!"

After explaining this, Zhang Nuo turned his gaze to Zhuge An. He saw that Zhuge An had been wearing a bitter face, as if he had heavy concerns, yet he also wore an expression of wanting to speak but hesitating!

"Sect Master Zhuge, after you return to the Nanxuan Sect, you had better manage the sect well! As for the Immortal Illusion Continent, it is better to have fewer designs on it. To survive here, there is only one condition: you must be strong! With your current cultivation, you are everywhere here!"

Zhang Nuo's words hit the nail on the head, leaving no face for the people present. In fact, everyone knew very well what their current environment was like, but because they had been overlords on the Tianjiang Plain, they were unwilling to accept this fact!

"I heard that you are now the Fourth Master of the Giant Spirit Pavilion! Can you take us into the pavilion as well?"

Zhuo Zhiyan lowered her head and pondered for a long time before finally gathering the courage to speak.

"Giant Spirit Pavilion! That is not a place where you can stay! I have said it before: to survive on the Immortal Illusion Continent, you must be strong. But you? Things have reached this point, and I have done all I can. Whether you go or stay is up to you!"

Zhang Nuo chuckled. He was no longer the small cultivator of the past who dared not speak loudly in front of these sect masters.

Listening to these clear words, Zhuo Zhiyan lowered her head in secret. Perhaps she should not have asked this question from the beginning, especially since Zhang Nuo's impression of her was not good! If the other party brought up the time Nanxuan Laozu took her away, she might even be implicated!

Zhang Nuo flipped his palm lightly, and a Jade Slip appeared. At the same time, he handed the Jade Slip to Zhuge An.

"Sect Master Zhuge, keep this in your care!"

After saying this, Zhang Nuo turned to leave. Zhuge An held the Jade Slip with both hands, but his heart felt as turbulent as the sea. The Zhang Nuo before him had become a different person, someone he both respected and feared! As his thoughts turned, he thought of his daughter, Zhuge Qing!

Zhang Nuo was just leaving like this; what would happen to his daughter? Could it be that Zhang Nuo had no lingering feelings at all?

"Qing'er... she might still be waiting for you!"

A sentence that was almost inaudible made Zhang Nuo's figure stop abruptly. Qing'er! The two words made his heart tremble. However, after a moment, Zhang Nuo waved his hand lightly and shook his head helplessly:

"Regarding the matters of the past, perhaps you all had your own ideas! I don't want to ask too much. If she still has feelings for me, she will naturally wait for me! If she has no such intentions, then let it be!"

After Zhang Nuo finished these last words, his escape light surged, and he disappeared directly into the horizon! The group of people on the small hill stared blankly in the direction where his light had vanished!

"Changed! Everything has changed!"

In Zhuge An's eyes, there was a look of loss. When Zhang Nuo was in the Nanxuan Sect, he was so obedient; if you told him to go east, he wouldn't dare go west! If it weren't for the incident with Nanxuan Laozu, perhaps Zhang Nuo would still be his prospective son-in-law! Everyone knew what that last sentence meant!

Back then, the Nanxuan Sect tried its best to win over Zhang Nuo, not only with various resources but also by using Zhuge An's biggest trump card! His daughter, Zhuge Qing! But now it seemed that all these efforts had gone down the drain because of a mistake by Nanxuan Laozu! Even if Zhuge An said the sky was falling, Zhang Nuo would definitely not turn back. In the eyes of this young Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, they had long been ignored!

"Sect Master Zhuge, Zhang Nuo is right. We should return to the Tianyuan Continent! Although there are many opportunities here, the dangers are also numerous. Now that we have lost the protection of the Ancestor, we..."

Zhuo Zhiyan did not continue her words; her bright eyes were filled with sorrow! There was a deathly silence all around, and only the sound of everyone's breathing could be heard! A heavy atmosphere shrouded the hearts of these people! They had come here full of passion, but what was the result?

Zhang Nuo flew a thousand miles in one breath before finding a small hill to land on. At this moment, the injuries he sustained from activating the 'Eight Extremes Demon Veins' had not fully healed!

And if he returned directly to Yulong Immortal Mountain now, a more tragic battle would be waiting for him!

"I had better find a place to heal my injuries first!"

Muttering to himself, Zhang Nuo opened a Cave Abode on the small hill and then set up a few simple Restrictions in the surroundings!

He sat in the Cave Abode for nearly a month. By extracting the power of the origin of life from the 'Pure Underworld Divine Tree' to heal, Zhang Nuo looked inside his body and saw that the damaged meridians were basically repaired. Only then did he get up and walk out of the cave!

Chunyangzi, because he had obtained the Taixu Palace Secret Technique, had been painstakingly comprehending it inside the Sword Box and had not made a sound. Having suddenly become so quiet, Zhang Nuo felt a bit unaccustomed to it!

It seemed that the memory fragments obtained from Wei Juren were not very complete; otherwise, Chunyangzi would have comprehended it long ago!

After leaving this temporary Cave Abode, Zhang Nuo flew directly toward the direction of Yulong Immortal Mountain! Along the way, he did not encounter any major incidents. On this day, he finally arrived at the place where the people of Taixu Palace had once entrenched themselves!
