Wu Mei was about to examine Chen Nan's memories!
Suddenly, Chen Nan's voice exploded in her soul like a thunderclap!
Making her let out a heart-wrenching scream!
The next moment!
An unparalleled devouring force sucked her soul into the immortal manor!
"Where is this?"
Wu Mei's face was filled with panic!
"This is my immortal manor!"
Chen Nan appeared in the immortal manor!
"Who are you?"
At this moment, Wu Mei's eyes were full of fear!
Chen Nan said coldly, "Who I am is not important. What's important is that I can save your life!"
Plop!
Wu Mei knelt on the ground, her eyes full of nervousness, "If senior can save this humble one, this humble one is willing to serve you day and night, and attend to your daily needs!"
"I'm not that depraved!" Chen Nan snorted impatiently!
Wu Mei was speechless!
But in her heart, she was thinking, "You seem to have forgotten about the rabbit demon and fox demon you played with!"
"Who confined you?" Chen Nan asked directly!
Wu Mei said, "It's King Wu, Shen Duan Tian!"
"King Wu again?" Chen Nan hadn't expected King Wu to be the mastermind behind the Myriad Demon Den!
Through Wu Mei's narration, Chen Nan also learned the purpose of the Myriad Demon Den's existence!
One hundred years ago!
King Wu captured Wu Mei, who was only in the early Nascent Soul stage, and placed a beast ring on her.
Making her work for him!
He also gave Wu Mei a mission: every month, she had to capture several demon beasts that had taken human form.
The purpose of this was to hide in the capital and be enjoyed by those cultivators!
"Enjoyed" was actually a cover for Wu Mei to control those cultivators!
Wu Mei was a rare three-tailed white fox, and her charm techniques had reached the peak of perfection. She alone controlled more than ten cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage!
Although these people were not affected in their daily lives, they could be controlled by her at crucial moments!
This was a hidden trump card in King Wu's hand!
Except for King Wu himself, no one knew that he was the mastermind behind the Myriad Demon Den!
Chen Nan: "So, besides you being controlled by King Wu, all the other demon beasts in the Myriad Demon Den are controlled by you?"
Wu Mei nodded, "Not only the demon beasts in the Myriad Demon Den, but even those Nascent Soul cultivators are under my control! If it weren't for senior's great fortune, I would have controlled you too!"
She was full of nervousness!
Chen Nan said, "Did King Wu order you to control me?"
Wu Mei: "Yes!"
Chen Nan nodded slightly, it was clear that King Wu did not trust him!
That's why he had Wu Mei control him!
Only in this way could Shen Lang's safety be guaranteed!
Chen Nan formed seals with both hands, and a bloody rune entered Wu Mei's forehead!
"This rune can suppress the beast ring in your body and prevent King Wu's mental power from annihilating you!"
"Go back and tell King Wu!"
"Tell him that I only want to be a powerful minister!"
"As for when I will help you remove the beast ring, the time is not yet ripe!"
"Yes!" Wu Mei dared not disobey Chen Nan's orders, because she could feel Chen Nan's terrifying power!
The mark he left in her body alone could instantly make her soul scatter!
------
King Wu's Mansion!
Shen Duan Tian was cultivating!
Sensing the aura outside, he slowly opened his eyes, "How is the matter progressing?"
Wu Mei did not enter the room, but said faintly from outside, "I have already controlled Chen Nan's soul and examined his memories. His dream is only to become a powerful minister who controls everything!"
A smile appeared on Shen Duan Tian's calm face, "I like ambitious people!"
At first, he hadn't planned to investigate Chen Nan!
But when Chen Nan and Shen Cong became too close, he felt something was wrong!
As a strategist for the Fourth Prince's mansion, he shouldn't be so close to the Eldest Prince!
Wu Mei asked in a low voice, "Shen Duan Tian, when will you grant me freedom?"
Shen Duan Tian: "This world will be mine soon. When I rule the world, this king will keep his promise and grant you freedom!"
"I hope you keep your word!" Wu Mei said and disappeared from King Wu's mansion!
A cold glint flashed in Shen Duan Tian's eyes, "You beast, in this world, only you dare to call this king by his name. When this king rules the world, it will be your death day!"
He looked outside, "Where is the butler?"
"My lord, what are your orders?" A grey-robed old man walked into the room!
His name was Xuan Yi, not only was he the butler of King Wu's mansion, but he was also an early Nascent Soul cultivator!
Shen Duan Tian said, "Are the Eldest Prince and the Third Prince really going to fall out with Lang'er?"
Xuan Yi said, "The Eldest Prince has indeed invited the Fourth Prince to a hunt in ten days. As for whether it is a competition for the position of Crown Prince, it is currently unknown."
Shen Duan Tian said, "Issue an order. No matter what, protect Lang'er's safety!"
"Of course, it's best not to interfere in this matter from the City Lord's mansion!"
"I want to see how Chen Nan performs!"
"Whether he can help Lang'er defeat the Eldest Prince and the Third Prince!"
Xuan Yi asked, "What if this Chen Nan really helps the Fourth Prince defeat the Eldest Prince and the Third Prince?"
Shen Duan Tian: "If he is truly a phoenix, this king would like to meet him!"
"Also, even if the Eldest Prince and the Third Prince lose, their lives must not be harmed!"
Xuan Yi: "Yes!"
------
Ten days passed in a flash!
In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the hunt!
After breakfast, Chen Nan followed Shen Lang and left White Emperor City in a jade carriage!
The hunting ground was located in the western suburbs of White Emperor City!
Although it was a suburb, it was already under royal guard!
Because hundreds and thousands of beasts lived here!
Of course, they were all beasts below the Golden Core stage!
Their existence was to please the royal descendants!
Shen Lang did not bring many servants with him when he traveled!
Besides Chen Nan and Mei Lan Zhu Ju, there was only one butler!
It looked like a pleasure trip!
But Chen Nan knew that the butler had reached the middle Golden Core cultivation!
His strength was not very strong, but don't forget that Shen Cong and Shen Fei only had early Golden Core strength!
If a fight broke out!
They would be no match for them!
Upon arriving at the hunting ground, Shen Cong and Shen Fei were already waiting!
The two of them were wearing blue and black armor, looking ready for battle!
Seeing this, Shen Lang smiled and said, "Eldest Brother, Third Brother, why are you wearing armor? Anyone who didn't know would think we brothers had turned against each other!"
Although it was a joke!
A fleeting surprise flashed in Shen Cong and Shen Fei's eyes, as if they hadn't expected Shen Lang to say such a thing!
Shen Cong smiled and said, "Since we are hunting, we naturally need to be well-prepared. If a Golden Core stage beast appears in the hunting ground, there will be unnecessary casualties!"
Saying that, he looked at the large tent behind him, "Someone, prepare a set of armor for the Fourth Prince!"
"Yes!"
With a gentle voice, a woman with a graceful figure holding a set of armor appeared before Shen Lang!
Seeing the woman before him!
A flicker of anger flashed in Shen Lang's eyes!
This was actually Jiang Qiu, his former lover from Piaoxiang Courtyard!
Shen Fei feigned surprise, "Eldest Brother, this is actually Miss Jiang Qiu, the former courtesan of Piaoxiang Courtyard. Did you redeem her?"
Shen Cong smiled and said, "I met Miss Jiang Qiu too late. She said I was the only man who could fill her body and soul. If so, shouldn't I help her redeem herself?"
Shen Fei suppressed a smile and said, "But she was Fourth Brother's lover before. Could it be that Fourth Brother couldn't satisfy her before?"
