I’m Actually a Cultivation Bigshot

Chapter 269: Siege. Signs of a Breakthrough!

If anything happened to Nanan...

Then...

The Holy Emperor shivered all over. His body had stiffened up. He did not dare think further.

So terrifying!

He was unable to care about anything else. He accompanied Li Nianfan without being present. All he wanted to do was to get out of there.

Since his mood was affected by the others as well, Li Nianfan walked for another ten minutes before feeling rather mood-less. He decided to head back.

The Holy Emperor politely sent Li Nianfan back. He then jumped and instantly, he turned to leave.

Big deal! Very big deal!

“Brother Mengji! Brother Mengji!” he pestered as he went to Yao Mengji’s door. He was drenched in a cold sweat.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

“Brother Mengji, open the door!”

“What? What is it?” Yao Mengji could feel that the Holy Emperor was anxious. He did not delay and instantly answered the door.

The Holy Emperor’s face stiffened. He said with a heavy tone, “The young girl that the Heavenly Sun Sect is trying to capture is likely to be Nanan!”

“Nanan, which Nanan?” Yao Mengji first halted. Then, his pupils dilated. “It can’t be the Nanan who listens to ‘Journey to the West’ in the Fallen Town?”

“Who else!?” The Holy Emperor was very anxious. “She’s very close to the expert! When I went out for a stroll with the expert, the expert asked us to protect Nanan. We must go and save her!”

“Really!?” Yao Mengji instantly felt a sharp chill spreading all over him. He no longer felt sleepy. His mind was wide awake!

“I should’ve thought of that earlier. It’s such a shocking power! Other than the expert, who else could create such a thing? What’re we waiting for? Go and protect her!” Yao Mengji was still uneasy. He turned into an orb of light and went to Gu Xirou.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

“Sect Mistress, it’s bad!”

Knock! Knock! Knock!

“Sect Mistress, come out!”

Ping!

Out of the blue, Yao Mengji and the Holy Emperor were pushed away by a strong force, sending them flying in the air.

Click!

Gu Xirou answered the door. Her face was dark as she said, “What’re you two doing? How rude!”

“It’s about the expert!” Yao Mengji brought up the big-name instantly.

Gu Xirou’s face changed. She looked serious.

Swiftly after, he said, “I’ve no time to explain. Let’s talk as we go!”

Gu Xirou realized the seriousness of the matter. She did not hesitate. “Alright!”

The three of them turned into orbs of light. First, they had to locate Longevous Qingfeng.

Meanwhile, Longevous Qingfeng was in his room. He was so excited that he could not sleep.

He still had the orange skin from earlier in his hand. He stared at it intently as if he was looking at the most precious treasure in the world. His eyes were filled with appreciation.

From time to time, he would cautiously put it into his mouth and gently take a bite. He was chewing delicately, enjoying this limited bliss.

Somehow, only half of the orange skin was left. Longevous Qingfeng felt unwilling to finish it.

“I’ll use the remaining skin to brew some tea. Then, I can slowly enjoy the taste.” He smiled gently, he was pleased by how clever he was.

Suddenly, there was an urgent-sounding voice coming from outside.

“Brother Qingfeng, it’s bad! It’s bad!”

Hastily, he kept the orange skin carefully before flying out from the room. He saw Yao Mengji and the other two flying to him rapidly.

He frowned and asked anxiously, “What is it?”

The Holy Emperor already prepared the sentence. He said, “The young girl that the Heavenly Sun Sect’s trying to capture is a sister of the expert! Her power was given to her by the expert!”

“What!?”

It felt like a lightning bolt striking him out of the blue.

The Heavenly Sun Sect came to his territory to capture the sister of the expert?

If she was hurt in his territory, and the expert was angry, he would be over!

Longevous Qingfeng’s eyes reddened.

‘The Heavenly Sun Sect’s trying to kill me!’

“This stupid Heavenly Sun Sect was raised by a dog. I’ll kill them all!” Longevous Qingfeng mumbled and growled as he flew up in the air. “Let’s go, let’s go. We can’t waste any more time. Hurry up and save her!”

At the outskirts of the town, inside a small village.

There was a row of houses made of soil. One of the doors slightly moved, followed by a ‘click’.

The door swung open.

A young girl that was dressed humbly stuck her head out. She said, “Uncle Wang, Aunty Zhao, thank you. I’ll leave now.”

“Leave? Where to?”

A voice scoffed. Suddenly, eight cultivators appeared out of nowhere, surrounding Nanan. They looked at Nanan with evil smiles.

Nanan’s face changed. She could not believe it. “Uncle Wang, Aunty Zhao, you all...”

“Little girl, please, don’t blame us, we...”

“I don’t blame you. Take care.” Nanan gritted her teeth and narrowed her eyes. She turned into light and shot toward one direction.

She wanted to get to the heart of the Town to conceal herself among the others.

However, she did not fly for long before ten or so lights were shooting in her direction.

“Ha-ha, let’s see where else you can go!”

Nanan instantly turned around. She was anxious. She wanted to turn in another direction.

“Ha-ha-ha! Little girl, you’re surrounded!”

Someone let out a wild laugh and casted a spell. A gigantic flame gathered as if it was a flaming sun under the night sky. It flew in the air and fell, going for Nanan’s head!

Nanan’s eyes dropped. Her tiny face was full of determination. She did not slow down. Instead, she flew up and crashed into the flaming ball!

Sizz!

The flaming ball was cracked open. The flame had diminished into a candlelight flame. It was as if they were fireworks extinguishing in the air.

Nanan turned into light and raced away.

“What a power to devour! How mysterious!”

“She won’t be able to get away! Chase after her!”

The group smiled. The prey had entered the trap. They merely had to capture her!

Nanan was quick. Soon, she left the village and entered an emptied mountain. She panicked as she did not know the way.

She bit her lip and her eyes reddened. She wanted to run away.

However, there was a bright light shining down from the sky.

Sizz!

Along with the loud sound, a sparkling thunderbolt fell from the sky, landing directly on Nanan’s head.

Nanan’s face darkened. She raised her hands with her palms facing outward. Instantly, a hole was formed just like a black hole.

Vroom!

The thunderbolt landed on Nanan’s hands. Instantly, a loud crashing sound was heard. Nanan’s body went numb and it stopped.

“Impressive! You can even absorb my Nine Heavens Thunder without getting hurt! This little girl’s quite impressive!”

Along with gentle laughter, an elder in white robes gradually walked out. He had a compass in his hand with a purple current surrounding him. He was looking directly at Nanan.

Swiftly after, ten more lights race forward. They surrounded Nanan.

The elder in white robes smiled. “Demon girl, you can’t get away. Just give in, it’ll be less painful.”

Nanan did not speak. She hid the panic on her face. She narrowed her eyes and attacked the elder in white.

“Ha-ha-ha, you have a big temper!” The elder in white smiled. He gently raised his hand and the compass started to glow. It floated above his head. With that, a loud clap was heard, followed by an electric current swirling around him, forming a current shield.

Not only that, the elder in white pointed a finger at Nanan.

The current was like a silver snake. It shot out instantly, ready to capture Nanan.

Nanan did not cast any spell. Instead, she raised her hands as if catching the snake. She caught the current and devoured it.

The elder in white saw it. The look of interest in his eyes deepened.

He did not panic. Nanan was merely a late-Golden Core while he was a late-Yuan Ying. They were one realm apart so it was like comparing a cat and a mouse.

Meanwhile, the other cultivators had rushed over. There were two sword cultivators. They had swords in their hands, ready to fight.

Nanan was alert. She did not care about the elder in white. She flipped her wrists and a silver ax appeared in her hands. It was not compatible with her tiny figure.

She did not back out. She raised her ax and swung it at a sword cultivator.

Smash!

The sword cultivator was attacked by a huge force, tipping him off balance. He shook vigorously in the air and fell toward the ground instantly.

“Sword Dragon!” Another sword cultivator went behind Nanan, lashing out with his long sword from below his feet. He spat out a sharp Qi as the sword was drawn out in the air, ready to stab Nanan.

Nanan held the big ax. Although it was too big for her, she moved with agility. She turned and the ax was in front of her, blocking the long sword.

However, another twenty or so cultivators had casted spells. All kinds of spells from different Sects were rushing toward Nanan.

Nanan was in the middle, waving around the ax in her hand. With each slash, a spell was extinguished.

However, she was fighting alone and did not specialize in casting spells. Soon, it went out of hand.

The elder in white scoffed coldly, “Demon girl, surrender now and I’ll let you live.”

Nanan gritted her teeth and her eyes became watery. She glared at the bunch of cultivators attacking her and did not speak a word.

“Not surrendering, eh!” The elder in white smiled coldly. The thunderbolt around the compass on top of him strengthened.

Instantly, six thunderbolts shot toward Nanan. They were entangled, forming a thunder shackle like a gigantic net, trapping Nanan.

The thunderbolts restricted Nanan’s movement. Bolts were attacking Nanan from time to time.

Nanan’s attack speed grew slower. She was unable to defend the attacks that were coming at her from all directions.

“Why did you kill my master? Why are you attacking me?”

At this moment, the emotions of betrayal, unwillingness, helplessness, anger, and hatred exploded out of the blue. It was as if they were about to engulf Nanan. Finally, they all turned into a boundless coldness.

Her eyes had reddened, her gums almost bleeding. Meanwhile, the memory of her master dying in front of her was replaying in her mind.

“As I said before, I won’t let anyone bully me again! I’ll keep my word! And...my master! I’ll avenge you!”

Tears were rolling down her cheeks. Suddenly, a killing intent overwhelmed her completely.

She kept the ax. In exchange, a piece of paper with some written words appeared in her hands.

On the paper, there was a faint layer of white glow. Along with that, a vaguely authoritative Qi exuded from within.

Nanan tossed it in the air and the paper floated above her. There was a faint layer of white glow illuminating her.

“You should all die!” She marched toward them. The six thunder shackles were easily knocked aside. They were unable to restrict her anymore. Swiftly after, she turned into light and rushed toward the cultivators.

Around Nanan, there were layers of black ripples forming like a mini black hole.

Meanwhile, a flaming snake was attacking her. She merely had to raise a palm and with a single touch, the flaming snake instantly vanished.

Before the bunch of cultivators could react, she had already appeared in front of a cultivator. She raised her hand and slammed on the cultivator’s stomach. With a slight pull, a golden core appeared in Nanan’s hand.

She put the Golden Core into her mouth. Swiftly after, she flashed toward her next target.

As for that cultivator, his body softened and fell from the sky. He died instantly.

Meanwhile, Nanan was fierce and undefeatable. She no longer looked like she was panicking. Instead, she exuded a bone-wrecking chill.

One after another, the cultivators fell. They were all Golden Core cultivators. All of their Golden Cores were devoured by Nanan.

As a result, Nanan’s Qi peaked. She was showing signs of a breakthrough.

She did not stop. Her reddened eyes stared at the elder in white. She raised her legs and her speed grew a few times quicker than before. As fast as light, an overwhelming killing intent latched onto the elder in white!

“Ha-ha, do you really think a Golden Core can kill a Yuan Ying?” The elder in white’s face darkened. He put his entire Qi into the compass.

Instantly, an electric current was shooting out in all directions, forming a cloud of current that was swirling above his head. It looked as if he was showering under the thunderbolt.

Seeing that Nanan’s killing intent was rushing over, the elder in white scoffed, “Moth to Fire!”

Nanan had already clenched her fists. She threw a punch at the thunderbolt!

“Why did you kill my master!?”

Ping!

With just a punch, the thick thunderbolt was cracked open. The compass jolted vigorously.

Nanan was ready for her second punch.

“Why did you kill my master!?”

Vroom!

With this punch, the thunderbolt collapsed. There was a big dent made.

“You! How’s this possible!?” The elder’s pupils dilated. He looked as if he had just seen a ghost.

Before he snapped out of shock, Nanan’s third punch had already landed on his stomach. Her fist went right into him.

“Why did you kill my master!!!”

With that, the Yuan Ying Core of the elder was taken out.

The elder’s face was still filled with disbelief and fear. He cried out in fear and panic, “My friend, my heroine, please, let me go! I’ve learned my mistake! I don’t know why! I didn’t kill your master!”

Nanan remained unperturbed. She showed no emotion on her face. A black hole appeared in her hands and with just a few breaths, the Yuan Ying Core was devoured by her.

With that, her realm vigorously peaked again. Along with a loud ‘ping!’ the Golden Core in her body exploded while a thumb-sized Yuan Ying looking exactly like Nanan was formed!

Nanan held onto the paper tightly in her hands. She rubbed the paper with a worn-out face and said in a hoarse voice, “Brother Nianfan, I really miss you.”

“Impressive, a mere Golden Core cultivator can kill twenty-three Golden Cores and one Yuan Ying. And you even had a breakthrough to Yuan Ying yet. This is very impressive. If I didn’t see it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed it.”

Along with a deep voice ringing in the air, five figures appeared in the air like phantoms. They glared down at Nanan from above.

They did not exude an air of authority but they had Spiritual Qi all over so they were unable to be seen.

Nanan slightly staggered a few steps backward.

The man leading was wearing a black robe. The edges of his robes were inlaid with a golden pattern, glowing with Insight Circulation. It looked like a treasure, very noble and expensive.

He stared at Nanan and said, “Little girl, I’m the Sect Master of the Heavenly Sun Sect, Yun Mo. Don’t bother struggling. You know you won’t be able to get away.”

Nanan’s eyes calmed down. She scoffed loudly, “Why did the Heavenly Sun Sect kill my master?”

“We don’t even know who your master is.” Yun Mo’s face remained unperturbed and calm like usual. He continued, “There might have been a misunderstanding. However, you destroyed my Big Elder’s son, Hou Qingwen, and that’s the truth. I won’t make it hard for you. Just hand me your Power and the paper in your hand and I’ll let you go.”

“Hou Qingwen isn’t dead?” Nanan’s eyes instantly widened. She was very agitated and she could not believe it. “Impossible! I killed him with my hands! His heart was broken by me! Why isn’t he dead?”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about, but he’s indeed not dead.” Yun Mo’s tone remained calm. However, this sense of calmness made him seem even more arrogant as if he had no patience to fight with Nanan.

“Impossible. His heart was broken. How did he live?” Nanan mumbled blankly as if she was attacked by a force. A killing intent appeared in her eyes. “It was him who killed my master. Where is he? Bring him to me!”

“Ha-ha, you don’t have the right to make a deal with me.” Yun Mo smiled as Qi gradually appeared around him. “Do you want me to fight you?”
