Playing with fantasy beasts in the martial arts world

Chapter 193 Enlightenment in the Valley of Villains!
"Take me to him!" Cha Nan casually tossed two pieces of Palu ore into the butcher shop.

The sky-blue crystals shone brightly in the sunlight, attracting a large number of greedy gazes.

Silently, Liang Xiao appeared behind Cha Nan. With a light step, the bricks beneath his feet were covered with cracks like a spider web.

A grandmaster certainly wouldn't wear a label on their head so that everyone could see it at a glance.

However, someone who can easily crush the stone bricks within a radius of several meters without showing any signs of distress is definitely not an ordinary person.

Even the most ruthless criminals knew that they couldn't afford to mess with this young man.

The reason why the group from Evil Valley was able to trap Yan Nantian was because Yan Nantian was carrying an infant on his back, which made him hesitant. Most of the experts from Evil Valley were present, and in order to save their lives, they worked together, which led to this result.

Ultimately, it's because Yan Nantian's reputation as a chivalrous hero is too great, and he can't tolerate any wrongdoing. This makes the villains of Evil Valley feel insecure, so they all bring out their most secret skills to protect themselves.

If it were anyone else, unless it was targeting them as a whole, would they really risk their lives?

Cha Nan's immediate request to Chang Baicao indicated that he was there for Chang Baicao's sake, meaning it had nothing to do with the others from Evil Valley. It would be a miracle if they tried to stop him.

So the sneaky ones put aside their thoughts for the time being.

A burly man walked out of the butcher shop, nodded at Cha Nan, and gestured for her to follow.

The three walked deeper into the Valley of Villains until they left the bustling settlement and entered the back mountain area. Only then did the burly man stop and say, "Chang Baicao's place is just ahead. He has poisoned the area. If you're not afraid of dying, go in yourselves."

After saying that, the big man turned and left, but he didn't go far. Instead, he stood openly on the side of the woods, looking coldly at Cha Nan and Liang Xiao. He clearly planned that if they couldn't withstand the poison that Chang Baicao had given them outside, he would rush over, drag the 'corpse' away, and then loot it.

It wasn't just the big man; there were clearly quite a few people who shared similar thoughts.

There were many figures moving about in the woods, clearly indicating that quite a few people were hiding there.

Cha Nan lost his money. Although he was highly skilled in martial arts, even the best martial artist can be vulnerable to unforeseen circumstances.

These people were waiting for this "what if".

Ignoring the gazes of these villains, Cha Nan summoned the Overturning Sea Dragon directly.

The Overturning Dragon appeared, and a massive tidal wave was generated, destroying everything and rushing towards Chang Baicao's thatched cottage courtyard.

No matter what kind of poison, evil spirit, traps, or hidden weapons they are, we'll take them all in one go.

The chance encounter with Tie Xinlan and Hua Wuque made Cha Nan realize her own shortcomings and understand the true nature of the martial arts world.

The martial arts world is not a dinner party; it's a place of deceit and treachery.

The 'good people' he thought were good people might not actually be good people.

But the evil people he knows are definitely evil people.

He now has the ability, strength, and influence to achieve his goal, so why bother with hypocritical pleasantries or pretense?
While he wouldn't resort to any means to achieve certain goals, it doesn't mean he has to follow the rules or act according to so-called 'rules'.

After all, being a law-abiding "good person" always makes it easy for someone to point a gun at you.

He had acted too kind and well-behaved in front of Xiaoyuer and Xiaoxiannv, and then he showed great generosity and open-mindedness in front of Tie Xinlan, offering her life-saving medicine without hesitation. That's why they seemed to be brainless and confronted him directly, using seemingly absurd methods to corner him.

Because they were convinced that a virtuous person could be deceived by reason.

They're not unintelligent; on the contrary, they're too intelligent.

Cha Nan only understood this principle after leaving.

The world of martial arts is too treacherous, and firstly, he lacked experience in it, and secondly, he was still carrying some ingrained thinking, so he didn't think in this direction at first.

In fact, it's perfectly normal for Xiaoyuer, a little devil who grew up in the Valley of Villains, and Tie Xinlan, a seasoned veteran of the martial arts world who has been wandering alone since childhood, to have these kinds of skills... It would be strange if they didn't.

If Tie Xinlan really wanted to use her body to get Cha Nan to help her save Hua Wuque, she shouldn't have done it in front of everyone, but rather sneaked to Cha Nan's door in the middle of the night.

She was never some kind-hearted innocent girl.

Her willingness to sacrifice and dedicate herself to Hua Wuque and Xiaoyuer does not mean that she is a noble person or someone with high moral standards and integrity.

All the compromises made in front of everyone are just a ploy to force someone into a trap; to put it bluntly, it's all about getting your girlfriend for free.

They wanted to take advantage of Cha Nan, but they didn't want to pay the price.

In fact, given the circumstances, if Cha Nan had readily agreed to Tie Xinlan's request, Hua Wuque, with his personality, would have vehemently opposed it, perhaps even threatening suicide. This would have put Cha Nan in a difficult position. At that time, Xiao Yu'er could have pretended to mediate, implying that Cha Nan should wait a while before accepting the benefits. This would have allowed Hua Wuque to be appeased and his poisoning treated first. If he were blinded by lust, he would have fallen into the trap. Once the poison was cured, Hua Wuque would deny everything, and Cha Nan would have been taken advantage of.

It's basically a disguised form of falling into a honey trap.

If they play it well, they might even be able to keep Cha Nan under control, continue to take advantage of him, but they won't actually put in any effort.

If they don't agree, they won't lose anything; they'll just have wasted some time and effort.

They even managed to gain some sympathy, laying the groundwork for future exchanges of benefits.

You won't lose money no matter which way you go, horizontally, vertically, or left or right.

Tie Xinlan's seemingly mindless action was actually a blow to the head, enough to make someone's head buzz.

This is a typical case of using the US to bully others.

Perhaps the only thing Xiaoyuer and Tie Xinlan didn't expect was that Cha Nan would choose to turn around and leave directly, giving them no space or room to argue.

They overestimated Tie Xinlan's charm and underestimated Cha Nan's willpower.

They must be regretting it now.

As for Cha Nan, it's not that he doesn't covet Tie Xinlan. After all, Tie Xinlan is 80% similar to Fan Bayi, and even younger, more vibrant, and more beautiful. It would be a lie to say that he isn't tempted.

However, he was a very proud person, and at least when it came to women, he always believed in mutual consent rather than coercion.

After all, a two-player game without coordination is no better than playing alone.

In Cha Nan's eyes, Tie Xinlan's behavior was an insult to him.

So he left in anger, and it was only after he left, with the cold wind blowing in the air, that Cha Nan finally understood the cause and effect.

Whether or not Cha Nan was fooled, this incident did not cause him much harm, but it did serve as a reminder.

Not every protagonist in every storyline is as kind, honest, and benevolent as Guo Jing, nor are they all like Yang Guo, who has seen it all and reached the point where he sees mountains as mountains and water as water. Even if he has a thousand plans in his heart, he keeps them to himself and no longer uses them lightly.

All we can say is that what Cha Nan is seeing now is the real other side of the martial arts world.

Guo Jing, Huang Rong, Yang Guo, and even Chu Liuxiang and Lu Xiaofeng presented him with a less realistic, more fairytale-like side.

Their high moral standards gave Cha Nan the wrong impression.

The tide washed away the houses and scared away the villains who had been watching from afar.

They dared to covet the two masters, but when they saw a dragon capable of controlling giant waves, they couldn't remain calm.

Inside the dilapidated wooden house, a large vat and an old man were swept out by the tide.

Without hesitation, Cha Nan first served a Parul ball to Yan Nantian in the tank.

He's currently in a living dead state, so his body's resistance is extremely low. The initial capture probability was a whopping 25%, hence the instant success. As for the reason for capturing him?

No excuses!

Although Yan Nantian is a chivalrous person, in principle, Cha Nan should not be subdued in this way.

He could have many reasons, such as Xiaoyuer's debts, or that it was for Yan Nantian's own good. After all, if Yan Nantian followed him, he could recover and not suffer amnesia after finally waking up, or fall ill again after finally regaining his memories.

However, deep down, Cha Nan coveted the Wedding Dress Divine Skill and was attracted by Yan Nantian's martial arts prowess.

What other excuses are you looking for?
He has the strength and the ability. As long as he doesn't expose the truth about Paluball and become the target of public criticism, he can indulge his desires a little, because that's the rule of the underworld.

Just like comparing Mu Daoren with other 'friends' who were tricked by Lu Xiaofeng, Mu Daoren succeeded in deceiving Lu Xiaofeng and achieving his goal of becoming the leader of Wudang Sect. Therefore, there is no question of right or wrong.

As for what happened to Mu Daoren afterward, that's another story.

Now that Yan Nantian has already taken it, Chang Baicao cannot be let go either.

Chang Baicao is essentially the same as Wan Chunliu. Although he is certainly not among the top doctors in the myriad worlds, he is still a doctor with his own skills and abilities. Cultivating such talent would be entirely beneficial to Cha Nan.

Even if we take a step back and assume that there are a few renowned healers on the Beast Island, wouldn't that add another reason to attract people to come?
Cha Nan arrested the person and left, not lingering in the Valley of Villains.

When the leaders of Evil Valley arrived, all they saw was a ruin washed away by the flood.

The three of them, Xiaoyuer, Hua Wuque, and Hua Wuque, who were still driving the carriage with changing horses but not changing drivers, probably never imagined that the divine doctor they were looking for had already been captured by Cha Nan.

They really shot themselves in the foot.

After leaving the Valley of Villains, Cha Nan returned to the Beast World and used it as a springboard to secretly return to Beast Island. He then reunited with Yuan Suiyun, Qiao Beiming, and Xiao Ting, leaving Liang Xiao temporarily on Beast Island.

These three individuals have not been exposed much, and no one has confirmed that they are already working for Cha Nan.

Therefore, Cha Nan planned to take the three of them with him whenever he did something bad in the future.

Now, Cha Nan plans to lead them to attack Yihua Palace and capture its two palace masters.

Of course, this time, Cha Nan himself will not make a direct appearance, nor will the mythical beasts.

Although he has attained enlightenment, he still needs to keep it hidden.

When you're out and about, there's always someone stronger than you, so the important thing is to have lots of ideas, lots of friends, and lots of aliases.

Cha Nan plans to emulate the God of Wealth Society and the Nine Thousand Years Alliance and create his own organization.

We haven't decided on a name for the organization yet... or perhaps we don't need to bother, we can just pretend to be the God of Wealth Society.

He reaps all the benefits and gains, while the God of Wealth takes the blame; there's nothing wrong with that.

The main focus is on adaptability.

Xiuyu Valley and Yihua Palace are forbidden areas in this martial arts world.

It is said that the place where it is located is a fairyland where flowers bloom all year round, and many women with high martial arts skills live there. The first palace master, Yaoyue, and the second palace master, Lianxing, are the most beautiful women in the martial arts world.

But even more impressive than their looks were their martial arts skills.

Many of the women in the Yihua Palace were betrayed by unfaithful men or persecuted by men. They received protection from the two palace masters and were taught martial arts by them. Therefore, they were loyal to the two palace masters and hated all those who betrayed and persecuted women.

Once the people of the Yihua Palace find out that someone has committed an act of violence against a woman, they will send someone to kill him.

It can be said that Yihua Palace has always been at the T0 level.

However, few people in the martial arts world know where the Yihua Palace is located.

Yan Nantian might know, but Cha Nan hasn't woken him up yet, so we need to ask someone else.

This person is Jiang Biehe.

Jiang Biehe needs no further introduction. As a hypocrite on par with Yue Buqun, his despicable nature actually surpasses that of Yue Buqun by three times.

Yue Buqun may have been a true gentleman for a time, but Jiang Biehe... was just a true villain pretending to be a hypocrite.

He doesn't even deserve the title of 'hypocrite'.

Finding this master swordsman from Jiangnan is relatively easy.

Therefore, Cha Nan secretly instructed the three evil stars to attack their door.

No matter how eloquently this scoundrel spoke, he couldn't fool these three.

Xiao Ting is a man who can play a righteous swordsman with chivalry to the bone, and a ruthless and heartless demon king.

Qiao Beiming, a heretical master of his own world, and the true leader of the outlaws.

Yuan Suiyun is also a veteran at playing the double... or even multiple identities.

How could people like them be fooled by Jiang Biehe's little tricks?

After employing all sorts of tricks, Jiang Biehe confessed everything he should and shouldn't have, and even personally presented the Six Ren Divine Dice.

Cha Nan then realized that at this point in time, the Six Ren Divine Dice was in Jiang Biehe's hands.

There's no rush to decipher the Six Ren Divine Dice. We'll leave it to Liang Xiao; I'm sure he'll be able to unlock it in no time.

For any kind of decryption or technical work, Liang Xiao is the right choice.

Now, the priority is to storm the Yihua Palace and capture the two palace masters alive.

Inside the Yihua Palace, the two palace mistresses, Yaoyue and Lianxing, were waiting for Tie Xinlan to bring Hua Wuque to their door.

Jiang Biehe's ability to accurately locate Tie Xinlan and Hua Wuque and successfully poison them was undoubtedly due to their manipulation.

Yaoyue had been waiting for eighteen years for the plan she devised to take revenge on Jiang Feng, and she would never allow the plan to fail in any way.

Iron Orchid can be both the glue that holds Xiaoyuer and Hua Wuque together and the fuse that ignites their falling out.

However, Jiang Biehe had clearly sent back news of the successful poisoning, but Hua Wuque and Tie Xinlan did not return to Yihua Palace for a long time.

Just then, shouts of battle erupted from the valley.

Then a series of explosions were heard, and someone said, "The God of Wealth will be visiting on the 17th, 19th and 21st. Please come and receive them!"

The moment the word "reception" was uttered, the sound was like a thunderclap, echoing throughout the Yihua Palace.

Those women with weak martial arts skills, upon hearing this voice, immediately bled from their ears, fell backward, and fainted.

Upon hearing this, the two palace masters of Yihua Palace, Yaoyue and Lianxing, both had icy expressions. They then flew out from their secluded cultivation place like two fluttering butterflies, heading straight for the valley.

　I'm not feeling well, so I haven't written much. I'll update another chapter this morning after I've had a good night's sleep! Thank you everyone!
