Chapter 560: Sudden Aberration Arises!

Nan Xun finally managed to steady his mind.

He stared fixedly at Ye Qingran.

Although Ye Qingran didn't mention her relationship with Ling Xianliu, he could now be certain—she was definitely cultivated by Ling Xianliu.

As for why Ling Xianliu would do this, it's simply to return and take revenge!

"Ling Xianliu, you died ten years ago; not even I, let alone Dan Valley, will allow you to return!" Nan Xun thought viciously.

"You think just because you've cultivated a Pill Emperor you can come back and kill? It's not that easy! Dan Valley is no longer the Dan Valley of ten years ago!"

Ye Qingran looked back at Nan Xun, her gaze cold as ice, her countenance like falling snow.

She had promised her master that she would one day let him return to Dan Valley, clear his name, and give him what rightfully belonged to him.

All of this today is merely the beginning.

Nan Xun, kneel!

Ye Qingran shouted in a low voice.

As the words fell, it was like thunder exploding, as if mountains were overturning.

Everyone felt their heads buzzing, overwhelmed by the majesty that Ye Qingran erupted with in that instant.

No kneeling!

Nan Xun refused.

Make him kneel to Ye Qingran?

Dream on!

So what if Ye Qingran is a Pill Emperor? A Pill Emperor with no background or support, recklessly revealing her strength like this, is easily doomed!

He won't kneel.

Everyone was stunned.

What's with this sudden act of coquettishness?

A Pill Emperor acting coquettish?

However, following Ye Qingran's gaze, they understood.

Ye Qingran was saying this to Elder Ye Xiu.

Elder Ye Xiu is her husband; it's understandable for her to act coquettish toward her husband.

Yet, as a Pill Emperor, Ye Qingran couldn't make Nan Xun kneel—what ability does Ye Xiu have?

However, they soon found out.

"Hmm. He will kneel." Fu Hanxiu nodded.

As his words fell, Fu Hanxiu's aura sank, and a vast, ocean-like, mountain-heavy pressure surged forth.

Like a hurricane striking.

Making one feel suffocated.

Nan Xun's body tensed instantly, his legs went weak, and he knelt before Ye Qingran.

This scene happened all too suddenly.

Yet everyone stared dumbfounded.

How exactly did this mysterious new Guest Minister Elder of the Academy manage that?

Just a wave of pressure, and Nan Xun couldn't hold up, he knelt?

The powerful ones present each had a flash of strange light in their eyes.

Could he be a sage or a Human Emperor?

Impossible to know.

But one thing is certain—Ye Xiu's strength is unfathomable!

Call him ancestor!

Fu Hanxiu spoke, his indifferent voice full of irresistible majesty.

He stood there, with the body of a demon god and the aura of an emperor.

Everyone looked at him in shock, feeling that this person couldn't possibly be just a Guest Minister Elder—if they said he was the Emperor Sovereign at the pinnacle of contending for the deer, they'd believe it!

Nan Xun was filled with shock.

He had just felt a mysterious, terrifying energy pierce his heart, making him feel suffocated and weak, causing him to collapse to his knees uncontrollably.

Who is this person?

Why does he possess such terrifying power?

Before he could think further, those three simple words made him feel as if hearing divine words, giving rise to an insignificant humility he dared not resist.

"Forget it." However, before he could speak, Ye Qingran suddenly spoke up to stop him.

"I don't have such unworthy juniors." Ye Qingran said with disdain, "Just make three kowtows."

Nan Xun's eyes sank.

For him, performing three kowtows was undoubtedly a harsher humiliation.

"As you wish." Fu Hanxiu said indulgently.

Anyone could see that Elder Ye Xiu doted greatly on his wife.

Ye Qingran, don't bully others too much!

Nan Xun gritted his teeth, his eyes full of malice.

So what if I bully others? Today you will kowtow whether you like it or not!

Ye Qingran shouted in a low voice.

Saying she bullies others too much?

Back then, Ling Xianliu unreservedly passed the secret of condensing the void into a pill to Nan Xun. But how did Nan Xun repay him?

He teamed up with Ling Tian, killed his wife and children, abolished his cultivation, and ruined his reputation!

What right does Nan Xun have to blame her?

Fu Hanxiu tacitly cooperated with Ye Qingran, and Nan Xun ultimately couldn't bear it, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Not kowtowing is fine—leave your life!"

Fu Hanxiu said lightly.

Like a death god's verdict.

Nan Xun knew full well that if he didn't kowtow these three heads today, he would definitely not be able to leave.

As the saying goes, as long as the green hills remain, there's no worry about running out of firewood.

As for this head, he will kowtow.

After he returns to Dan Valley and rests, he will definitely tear Ye Qingran's family of four into ten thousand pieces to quell his hatred!

Under the gaze of the multitude, Nan Xun kowtowed three times to Ye Qingran.

Ye Qingran coldly looked down on him.

These three kowtows are the interest she collected for her master, Ling Xianliu.

Compared to what her master lost, it's still far too little.

In a villa in Shenzhou City, Nan Yan's eye sockets were red.

"Father, let's return to the valley together. I'm afraid Ye Qingran's family will be unfavorable to me."

Nan Xun refused, "No, you stay in the academy, don't go anywhere, just keep an eye on their family of four for me." Nan Xun's gaze was extremely cold.

"But..." Nan Yan's eyes were full of fear.

The strength of Ye Qingran's family of four is too terrifying; if she continues to stay in Shenzhou Academy, danger outweighs safety.

"Don't worry, as long as you stay in the academy, they won't dare target you." Nan Xun comforted.

Nan Yan could only compromise in the end.

"But Father, Ye Qingran is a Pill Emperor; what should we do?"

"A Pill Emperor?" Nan Xun gritted his teeth in hatred, "What's so great about a Pill Emperor? Don't forget our Dan Valley is now allied with Huangjin City, and furthermore..."

"We have deep ties with the top powers of Western Extremity Shengyu; a Pill Emperor, without sufficient strong background, who knows how they could fall!"

Nan Yan's eyes lit up.

Turns out their Dan Valley still has connections with the top powers of Western Extremity Shengyu.

If that's the case, even if Ye Qingran is a Pill Emperor, she is definitely no match for their Dan Valley!

In a pill-refining competition, Ye Qingran's Pill Emperor identity was exposed and spread at the speed of light.

Soon, it spread throughout Beimingzhou.

The forest outside Shenzhou City was filled with a surge of dead qi; from afar, it seemed shrouded in black mist.

Suddenly.

An earthquake occurred at Shenzhou Academy.

Buildings shook violently, the heavens and earth trembled.

However, the earthquake came suddenly and its duration was extremely brief.

If not for the cracks appearing in many places, many would have thought it was an illusion.

However, no one noticed that at that very moment of the earthquake, in the forest outside Shenzhou City, spirit beasts whose bodies were suffused with black mist raised their heads, gazing toward Shenzhou Academy.

Those eyes had no whites, only a deep black that made one's blood run cold.

The next second.

All the spirit beasts, as if having received an order, revealed ferocious, vicious expressions.
