Gu Nan watched as the Demon King's figure gradually disappeared, but he did not chase after him.
The Demon King's actual realm was still above his, but he had completely seen through his methods. But if Gu Nan wanted to make him stay, it would be more difficult.
In any case, Ming Lou's people would take the lead in the future, so why would he need to fight the Demon King to the death now?
In the future, waiting to be killed was the most important thing.
Once the Demon King retreated, the remaining small fries of the Demon Dao could not do much. In a short while, they were all slaughtered by Gu Nan.
Yan Xiaoxiao began to arrange for people to clean up the manor and rearrange the clothes that had been destroyed.
"Teacher, was that … the Demon King?" Yan Xiaoxiao came to Gu Nan's side and asked with some difficulty.
Gu Nan and the Demonic King didn't hide anything when they fought. Moreover, the Demonic King's eye-catching appearance was easily recognized by others.
"Not bad."
Yan Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and cupped her hands. "Congratulations, Teacher, for entering the Minute Subtlety realm as soon as you entered the Transcendent realm!"
The so-called Minute Subtlety referred to the three realms of the Transcendent realm.
From the Transcendent realm to the Breaking Realm, there were three realms in between: Mixed Essence, Minute Subtlety, and Eternal Domain. According to Gu Nan's understanding, it was the difference between the first, second, and third levels of his core skills.
He had the Shadow Earring, and his core skills were already at the second level, so he was not at a disadvantage against the Demon King, who was publicly acknowledged to be in the Minute Subtlety realm. That was why Yan Xiaoxiao thought so.
"Not really." Gu Nan shook his head. "I have only understood the Minute Subtlety, but my own realm has not caught up yet."
Yan Xiaoxiao almost rolled her eyes. "The Minute Subtlety is even more terrifying when the Minute Subtlety surpasses the realm!
But at this time, she suddenly fell silent.
Gu Nan looked at her and said with a faint smile, "What? Do you think there is hope for revenge? "
Yan Xiaoxiao still did not speak. Her usual sweet smile gradually disappeared, and what replaced it was the Seven Slaughter Demoness who had slaughtered everywhere.
Gu Nan had a thorough understanding of Yan Xiaoxiao.
This girl was a natural killer. The revenge of her family's annihilation made her grow up quickly, but it also made her walk the path of extreme and bigotry.
Although she had temporarily let go of her hatred under his persuasion, it did not mean that she had forgotten about it.
She had put away the sword that she had used all those years ago. Even in that life and death situation just now, she had not pulled out that sword, which meant that she was still restraining herself with all her might.
She wanted to use this bone-deep hatred to nurture the sword in her heart. When the sword was unsheathed, it would be the day she achieved Dao.
"Go get your revenge," Gu Nan said lightly.
Yan Xiaoxiao looked at him in a daze. She thought that her teacher would advise her to be patient until the Heart Sword was completely formed. She didn't expect …
"What's the point of practicing martial arts if you can't even take revenge?" Gu Nan rubbed her head and smiled. "Never forget what made you walk this path in the first place."
As Gu Nan spoke, Yan Xiaoxiao felt like she had returned to that estate, that scene of blood splattering everywhere, that shudder that came from the depths of her soul.
… …
The battle at Blue Dragon Hall's headquarters had been surrounded by so many eyes that it was impossible to conceal the result.
The Demon Lord had privately gone to the central and southern regions in an attempt to capture the rising faction of Blue Dragon Hall in one fell swoop, but he had been wounded and retreated. This sort of news was beginning to spread throughout the world.
As the rumors spread, some places were already saying that the Demon Lord was heavily wounded and on the verge of death, that exterminating the demonic path was just around the corner.
In the center of the continent, in Ming Lou's headquarters in this world …
"Absurd! That Demon Lord was already a Subtle realm expert, one of the strongest of the natives. How could he have been so easily wounded? "
An old man covered in wrinkles slammed his hand on the table, not believing the rumors in the slightest.
Including him, a total of eleven people with different expressions were sitting around a large round table, discussing this matter.
"But this matter is indeed true. The Demon Lord retreated." A woman in green standing across from the old man said leisurely, "According to our intelligence, the person who fought with the Demon Lord was at least a Subtle realm expert."
The old man's expression was dark. He knew that he could not refute the ironclad evidence in front of him, so he asked, "Then tell me, where did this expert come from? Could it be that this world has secrets that our Ming Lou has not discovered? "
The old man's last sentence caused everyone's expressions to turn serious.
Ming Lou had prepared for this plane for so long, it was not just to complete a mission.
Once they had dealt with the enemy Reincarnated, this place could become Ming Lou's resource plane, steadily transporting all sorts of resources and talents.
If this world still had secrets, or even hidden factions, then that was something they truly needed to pay attention to.
"Everyone." Just as everyone was deep in thought, one of the women said, "I think … I have a rough idea of who that person is."
"What?!"
"Is that true?"
"Tang Xuan, did you obtain intelligence from other sources? Is it reliable? "
A series of questions rang out. Tang Xuan smiled bitterly. She gently pushed the information in her hands forward. "I don't know if you still remember, but there was a genius in our branch in the past …"
As she spoke, the information in her hands was distributed to everyone.
When they finished reading Tang Xuan's information, all the Transcendents frowned.
What Tang Xuan showed them was the conflict between Gu Nan and Yan Xiaoxiao.
Back then, Gu Nan had given Yan Xiaoxiao pointers. This was no secret in the eyes of those who were observant. Even the Demon Lord could find out, let alone Ming Lou.
And Yan Xiaoxiao was the Seven Slaughter Demoness, as well as the Hallmaster of Blue Dragon Hall. This was even more obvious.
"In that case … it should be this Gu Nan who has advanced to Transcendence." A young man with sword-like eyebrows shook his head with a bitter smile. "Back then, I had high hopes for his advancement. I didn't expect it to happen so quickly."
This young man was Yue Chenxing, who had been stationed in the South. He had seen Gu Nan's shocking achievements back then and admired him very much.
"It's a pity that he's not one of us anymore." Another person sighed softly. "Otherwise, our mission this time would be much easier."
Everyone else sighed helplessly.
Even among the people present, more than half of them were only at the first stage of Transcendence, the Chaotic Prime. If a Refinement Realm expert suddenly appeared, their combat power would immediately increase by a large margin.
Ming Lou was not allowed to stay or leave, so no one could say anything about Gu Nan's departure. They could only sigh that he had left at the wrong time.
Just as the meeting fell into silence, an elegant middle-aged man at the head of the table knocked on the table and spoke.
"Even if Gu Nan is no longer one of us, it's not impossible to pull him over." The middle-aged man's expression was calm as if nothing could move him. "The fact that he fought with the Demon Lord proves a lot of things."
Everyone's eyes lit up. They felt sorry for the loss of talent as they had not thought of this.
Even if he was not a companion, he could still be a comrade!
