The Road to Nowhere

"A fire-based alchemy room? That's not bad..." Shentu Nantian said casually.

With a single sentence, Shentu Nantian settled the matter.

What could the Prince Chu do? With the entire Tai'a Divine Kingdom in turmoil, how could he dare disobey the orders of the Young Master Nantian?

"Uncle Zhou, arrange for the Medicine King Pavilion to be given to Young Master Nantian." As Prince Chu spoke, he glanced at Yi Yun. He had been paying attention to Yi Yun's reaction from beginning to end, and he felt a little sympathy for the young man.

"Yes, Your Highness."

Uncle Zhou was the gray-robed old man who always followed the Prince Chu. He was the Prince Chu's personal bodyguard and also the steward of the Prince Chu's Estate.

"Uncle Zhou, let Dingkun and I make the arrangements."

Yang Yuefeng said that he also wanted to take on this task and seize the opportunity to curry favor with Shentu Nantian, as such an opportunity was quite rare.

"Young Master Kun, Young Master Feng..." Uncle Zhou hesitated for a moment, but did not stop them, and stood quietly beside the King of Prince Chu.

Yang Dingkun and Yang Yuefeng glanced at Yi Yun with amusement, then said obsequiously to Shentu Nantian, "Young Master Nantian, shall we go now? What materials do you need? We'll prepare them for you immediately."

Yang Dingkun patted his chest and guaranteed it.

Shentu Nantian smiled and said, "No need. I'm afraid you don't have what I need."

"Yes, yes, yes, the things Young Master Nantian uses must be priceless Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. We can't possibly prepare anything like that, please excuse our poor appearance." Although he was looked down upon, Yang Yuefeng still flattered him with a cheerful smile.

At this moment, Shentu Nantian had already turned to Jiang Xiaorou.

However, Yi Yun stood in front of Jiang Xiaorou, his right hand clenched into a fist, while his left hand touched the Space Ring on his right hand.

At this moment, Yi Yun was like a little sparrow protecting its young, but he was facing a fierce eagle.

"Your name is Yi Yun, right? I can sense that you have a bright future. Coming from a small country, you have achieved so much. Breaking through to the Origin Foundation Realm at such a young age and having such a solid foundation is quite remarkable."

"Cherish your future, don't do anything foolish. I've emphasized it again and again, humans and wild beasts are mortal enemies! Didn't you see how this Beast Tide was stirred up? The wild race killed hundreds of millions of civilians without batting an eye to achieve their goals!"

"The sister behind you has a special bloodline. I absolutely cannot leave her in the mortal realm, otherwise, if the Desolate Clan finds her, she will be a great scourge."

Shentu Nantian spoke, he walked towards Yi Yun and Jiang Xiaorou.

Yi Yun gritted his teeth; he still didn't leave Jiang Xiaorou's side.

Shentu Nantian frowned. He stared at Yi Yun for a few seconds, but Yi Yun met his gaze without backing down.

Shentu Nantian's face darkened; his patience was finite.

"I'm saying this for the last time, you have three breaths to get out of my way."

Yi Yun took a deep breath. He felt as if his heart was bleeding. But he endured it. "Young Master Nantian, I beg you, spare my sister. You can place a restriction on her, you can..."

"Hmm!?" Shentu Nantian's expression turned cold, and his aura exploded. Originally, Shentu Nantian gave people the feeling of a gentle breeze. He had a gentle temperament and elegant demeanor, giving people a very comfortable feeling.

But now, he is like a demon, as if a ferocious beast has awakened within Shentu Nantian's body!

In an instant, Shentu Nantian became extremely terrifying.

"Roll!"

Shentu Nantian raised his hand, Yi Yun felt a terrifying force enveloping him from all directions. His blood seemed to freeze in that instant, and all the power in his meridians and acupoints was locked.

This force was terrifying; Yi Yun was powerless to resist it. He was thrown out by the force and slammed hard against the wall of the Prince Chu's Estate's mansion!

"Boom!"

With a loud crash, a foot-thick wall collapsed, sending rubble flying everywhere. Yi Yun was swept into the pile of rubble, covered in dust and debris!

For a moment, Yi Yun felt as if his internal organs had been displaced. He felt a sweet taste in his throat and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Yi Yun!

This sudden turn of events stunned everyone.

Shentu Nantian suddenly attacked, and Yi Yun, who was quite strong, was as powerless as an infant in front of Shentu Nantian.

Chu Xiaoran and the others were all on tenterhooks, worried about Yi Yun. A wise man doesn't fight a losing battle, and they were afraid that Yi Yun would act impulsively again and do something foolish.

But some, like Yang Dingkun and Yang Yuefeng, had a sinister smile on their lips. It was exhilarating, truly exhilarating!

Shentu Nantian's voice was icy cold, "You really think you're so great? Who do you think you are? I admire you, and I can speak to you politely. But if I hate you, I can crush you like an ant!"

"I have repeatedly taught you the awareness that a human being should have, and time and again I have told you to stay away from the Wild Tribe, but you! You have defied me time and time again. Do you really think I will tolerate you again and again?"

At this moment, Shentu Nantian exuded a natural and terrifying aura of imperial power!

He was like a monarch, wielding the power of life and death. One moment he was all smiles and gentle words, the next he was enraged and ready to kill. His emotions were completely unpredictable.

"This is the last time I'm warning you. Sever all ties with the Desolate Clan. Only then will you remain a member of humanity. Otherwise, I will eliminate you!"

Shentu Nantian's last words were already laced with chilling murderous intent.

"Yun'er..."

Jiang Xiaorou ran to the pile of rubble and helped Yi Yun up. Yi Yun's mouth was full of blood, which mixed with the dust and turned reddish-black.

Seeing Yi Yun's state, Jiang Xiaorou's heart broke. She bit her lip until it bled, feeling utterly helpless in the face of this situation.

She looked at Shentu Nantian and said tearfully, "Stop fighting... I'll go with you."

"Haha!" Upon hearing Jiang Xiaorou's words, Shentu Nantian burst into laughter. "What disgusting sibling affection! Humans and the Wilderness Clan have feelings for each other, even risking their lives to protect one another—it's utterly laughable!"

"You think you can use whether you come with me as a bargaining chip? Your life has always been in my hands! However, I never intended to kill your so-called brother today. I just wanted to teach him a lesson, to let him remember who he is, and to let him know that one should never forget one's roots!!"

Shentu Nantian spoke, he grabbed Jiang Xiaorou, "If you have to blame someone, blame your fate!"

Shentu Nantian his hand with a wisp of vital energy and pressed it towards Jiang Xiaorou's crown chakra. His intention was to shatter Jiang Xiaorou soul sea with a single blow. This would cause Jiang Xiaorou to lose her mind, but her body would remain alive. Using a living body for alchemy would yield the best results. (To be continued~^~)
