Two figures quickly searched White Mist’s headquarters. With these two’s Tier 4 powers, it hardly took them much time to find the person they were looking for.
A little girl as pretty as a porcelain doll who looked like she was carved out of jade was struggling to practice swordsmanship with sweat on her nose.
"Xin’er!"
Luo Fei immediately exhaled softly, and her figure instantly appeared in front of the little girl, her expression that of pleasant surprise.
She originally thought Gu Nan would keep Xin'er under strict watch and would never let her find Xin’er easily. She even thought he’d set an inescapable net to trap her…
‘Is he careless, or did he just not notice Xin'er’s identity from the beginning?’
"Mother!" Xin’er was also pleasantly surprised to see Luo Fei.
Although she was young, she also knew what happened in the Heavenly Palace recently when her parents were missing… ‘It's great that Luo Fei can appear safely now!’
Luo Fei hugged Xin’er in her arms while Luo Jie stood beside her and smiled with relief, as if a weight had been lifted off his shoulders.
Everything was good as long as their daughter returned to their side.
His younger sister had already taken the crystal’s power, so long as Gu Nan still dared to appear, she could definitely beat him easily!
However, neither of them noticed the shadow that crept up behind them, just waiting for the instant when they let down their guard.
……
The Tang family had become hell on earth.
Lan Si, who had completely fallen into madness, didn't have any reason to speak of when she killed—she even forgot to use her own divine power and was killing by entirely relying on the power Gu Nan bestowed upon her.
Unfortunately for everyone else, the part of his power Gu Nan hid inside that dagger represented his extremely strong physique.
Unbeatable strength and speed, as well as amazing physical resistance and regeneration—this was what the current Lan Si had.
She was like a ferocious beast in human form, madly destroying all living creatures in sight. She even accidentally injured many from the Tang family.
"Gu Nan, you…" Tang Xuan, whose injuries weren’t light, had reached Gu Nan's side at some point.
"Oh, it's you. Long time no see,” Gu Nan greeted her very naturally.
Tang Xuan’s lips managed to force a smile. "I thought you wouldn’t recognize me anymore now that you’ve reached your current position."
The Cang Lian Dao Lord behind Gu Nan was also speechless.
She didn’t understand Gu Nan's principles at all. He was someone who could even casually kill Elder Pan, yet he actually bothered to greet an ordinary Prodigious cultivator like Tang Xuan?
But if he greeted her for old time’s sake, then why did he completely ignore her plight earlier?
Of course she wouldn’t understand that for Gu Nan, it didn’t matter how powerful an NPC was. Whether or not he was willing to greet them depended on whether he remembered them or not.
Tang Xuan was an NPC related to many missions, so naturally she was qualified to make an impression in Gu Nan's memories.
But that was all. It was equally impossible for Gu Nan to take the initiative to help her.
Just when the two women each had their own ideas, Gu Nan’s expression suddenly changed, and his figure instantly disappeared, leaving behind two people staring at each other in dismay.
……
Within White Mist, the shadow quietly approached Luo Jie, who didn't sense anything until a sharp black sword stabbed straight into his body.
But it was already too late.
The pain from his back startled him slightly. The next second, the majestic law of shadows suddenly erupted.
The sword of shadow, superimposed tens of times, almost instantly tore through Luo Jie’s law and invaded his body unreasonably, trying to completely destroy his vitality.
Luo Fei reacted very quickly, stretching out her right hand in a rage and grabbing the shadow sword.
Her right hand had turned completely liquid and easily covered the blade. The sword of shadow was clearly created by the law of shadows, yet most of it melted instantly.
"Law nullification attribute?" Gu Nan appeared from a shadow clone, staring at this scene with some surprise.
He lost all control over the shadow sword. It seemed as if his connection to the law had been completely cut clean, and the sword of shadow was quickly corroded away.
"Interesting." A faint smile appeared on Gu Nan's face. He didn't mind losing that tiny bit of law. Rather, he was very interested in Luo Fei's right hand.
He didn't expect the two who returned to have this level of law.
Luo Fei looked at him coldly, then hurriedly supported Luo Jie, who was about to collapse—Gu Nan's "constant crit damage" wasn’t something most people could endure.
"Brother, are you okay?"
Luo Jie covered his wound with one hand, his eyes full of killing intent. "I'm fine… Quick, kill him!"
Luo Fei didn't hesitate again. She stuffed her daughter into Luo Jie's arms and suddenly disappeared. When she reappeared again, she was already beside Gu Nan.
It wasn’t surprising for Void Cutter cultivators to develop wondrous uses of their own laws. Gu Nan wasn't surprised either. He just stabbed back with a sword.
But Luo Fei didn’t dodge. Her right hand stretched out again, and Gu Nan's layers of illusory shadows were all extinguished by this one hand.
"It’s useless. Die!" Luo Fei sneered.
If not for how tyrannical this crystal’s power was, why would they have hesitated to use it for so many years? Would they have dared to take it out to deal with Gu Nan if they weren’t already sure of its overbearing power?
"So it really is law nullification… What a pity.” Gu Nan shook his head lightly. “What a pity that it doesn’t belong to you, so you haven’t fully mastered it.”
"It’s still enough to kill you!" Luo Fei gave an explosive shout as her palm struck Gu Nan in the heart, and then…
Nothing happened.
Luo Fei froze, and Luo Jie on the side also froze. The former struck him with another palm incredulously, using so much force that her swollen hand even burst a little and water splashed out, but Gu Nan still didn’t move.
The law nullification attribute was indeed powerful, but it was a pity that they met Gu Nan.
This fellow, who had once played till Tier 16 and was incomparably familiar with the laws of the world, knew very well that one of his skills was the bane of the law nullification attribute.
"This is impossible!"
Luo Fei's mind seemed on the verge of collapse. She couldn’t understand why the power she went through so much pain to obtain would be so weak in front of Gu Nan.
But everything in the world could be neutralized. Not even Gu Nan's strength was invincible, let alone a mere law nullification attribute?
Gu Nan's face began to show a nasty grin as he suddenly reached out and grabbed Luo Fei's hair.
"The law nullification attribute falling into your hands is truly a waste…"
Bam!
Gu Nan slammed his head into Luo Fei's forehead, his terrifying strength directly knocking her unconscious. A big bump swelled up on her head as Gu Nan dragged her unconscious body with one hand.
Luo Jie was simultaneously surprised and outraged. "Let her go! If you have a grudge, take it out on me—"
The sword of shadow flashed across his heart, and the sword tip—which had been superimposed tens of times—instantly penetrated his heart, cutting off all his life force, and Luo Xin also slipped down from his arms.
The little girl had been scared silly, and her face was as pale as paper, unable to speak.
Gu Nan glanced at her, then at Luo Fei, and nodded. "Mm, you’re still useful."
After saying that, he also picked up the little girl and slowly walked into a secret room inside White Mist’s headquarters.
