Di Ting did not turn his head.
But he sensed them a hundred li behind him.
Two powerful figures were rapidly approaching.
And to the southeast.
There were over twenty powerful auras.
"Almost there!"
Di Ting exclaimed excitedly, "The Lu family has dispatched a total of twenty-five experts this time. Besides one Heaven Ghost Realm expert, the rest are all Earth Ghost Realm experts."
"Among them are sixteen late-stage Earth Ghost Realm experts, and the remaining eight are at least at the second layer of the Earth Ghost Realm."
"While this combat power may not be enough to destroy that willow tree."
"It will certainly heavily injure it."
"Then, when you make your move, you can completely kill the willow tree."
Chen Nan pouted, "You just kept saying you didn't want me to scheme against people, but why are you so excited to see me do it?"
Di Ting's eyes were full of embarrassment.
Chen Nan accelerated, continuing to head north.
He did not speed up.
Because at his current speed.
With his spatial domain fully deployed.
The Lu family experts could not keep up at all.
The Savage Lands were not peaceful.
Especially at night.
Many wandering spirits and ghosts could be seen.
Most of them had escaped from hell.
Ordinary cultivators would certainly not dare to traverse the Savage Lands.
Especially at night.
A moment of carelessness could lead to possession.
Although Chen Nan encountered some foolish beings.
They were instantly annihilated by him.
Time flowed by.
Unbeknownst to them, dawn arrived.
Above the Savage Lands.
A jade boat carrying twenty-five people flew through the clouds.
Leading the way was a silver-haired elder with fiery red eyes.
He stood quietly at the forefront, gazing north with profound eyes.
He was the Lu family's strongest patron.
Nie Chu.
Possessing a cultivation of the third layer of the Heaven Ghost Realm.
"Elder Nie, Chen Nan's speed is too fast, we can't catch up at all!" Lu Jin said with extreme anxiety.
For others.
It was not a big deal if they couldn't catch up to Chen Nan.
But for him and Lu Jiu, it was different.
If they couldn't catch up to Chen Nan.
They wouldn't be able to retrieve the Forget Worry Grass.
If that truly happened.
Their lives would surely be forfeit.
Nie Chu said indifferently, "Do you think this old man truly cannot catch up to Chen Nan?"
"No!"
"I just want to see what he's up to."
Lu Jin looked puzzled.
The others were also confused.
A cold smile flickered across Nie Chu's aged face. "I've heard of this junior, Chen Nan. This child is exceptionally capable, both in strength and character, far surpassing ordinary people."
"Have you ever considered something?"
"After obtaining the Forget Worry Grass, why didn't he leave immediately?"
"Why did he choose to venture deeper into the Savage Lands?"
Lu Jiu pondered for a moment and said, "Is he afraid of being ambushed by our Lu family experts if he returns to Fengdu City?"
His and Lu Jin's strength was considered at the bottom among the group.
But because they shared the surname Lu.
It was precisely for this reason.
They were entrusted with the important task of escorting the Forget Worry Grass back.
And dared to express their inner thoughts in front of so many people.
Nie Chu smiled and shook his head. "Things are not that simple."
"Since Chen Nan dared to seize the opportunity belonging to the Lu family."
"He naturally has the capital to contend with the Lu family."
"If I'm not mistaken."
"There is only one truth behind his deep dive into the Savage Lands!"
Lu Jiu couldn't help but ask, "What truth?"
Nie Chu looked to the north. "There exists some supreme treasure in the Savage Lands, and Chen Nan knows its location, which is why he concealed his aura and ventured deep into the Savage Lands to find it!"
"It's a pity he schemed meticulously, yet never expected this old man to sense his aura in the air." A cold smile appeared on his face as he said this.
"As long as we follow his direction, we are guaranteed to find that treasure."
"Yes."
"Do you truly think this old man cannot catch up to him?"
"Heh heh!"
"I'm merely casting a long line to catch a big fish!"
Everyone suddenly understood.
Immediately, someone began to flatter Nie Chu. "Elder Nie's strategic planning is impeccable. This time, not only will we retrieve the Forget Worry Grass, but we will also obtain a treasure. Truly a joyous occasion!"
"Indeed, with Elder Nie's strength, what is the mere Savage Lands to him? He can walk through it with ease."
"Right, in my opinion, this perilous Savage Lands is like Elder Nie's own backyard."
The Savage Lands were a forbidden zone second only to the River Styx.
It was fine during the day.
But once night fell.
Even Earth Ghost Realm experts had to proceed with extreme caution here.
However.
In the face of Heaven Ghost Realm experts.
There were very few things in the Savage Lands that could threaten them.
After all, above Heaven Ghost Realm was the supreme Ghost King Realm expert.
And throughout the entire Underworld.
Ghost King Realm experts were exceedingly few.
It was said to be less than a hundred.
Seeing everyone flattering Nie Chu, Lu Jin hesitated and couldn't help but say, "Elder Nie, please forgive my rudeness, but I have a different opinion."
Nie Chu turned to look at him, his eyes as sharp as knives. "What opinion?"
He disliked others contradicting his views.
Especially when his previous points had already gained everyone's approval.
Lu Jin's current rebuttal was equivalent to slapping him in the face.
Lu Jin suppressed his inner nervousness and said, "I am not questioning Elder Nie's views, and I also believe that Chen Nan definitely knows that there is a treasure somewhere in the Savage Lands."
"However, his purpose for venturing into the Savage Lands is not solely to obtain that treasure."
"It is also to use our hands to eliminate potential dangers."
Upon hearing this.
Nie Chu was instantly enraged. "Lu Jin, what do you mean by that?"
"Are you saying Chen Nan has been leading us by the nose all along?"
"Are you questioning this old man's ability?"
The others also showed anger on their faces.
They had never expected Lu Jin to say such a thing.
Lu Jin quickly said, "Elder Nie, please calm your anger, calm your anger. This junior is not questioning your abilities."
"I just feel that this matter is not as simple as it appears on the surface."
"We must be wary."
He didn't know how to explain it.
Inwardly, he just had a bad premonition.
A thoughtful smile appeared on Nie Chu's angry face. "Indeed, indeed. What you said is correct. This old man also sensed that this was Chen Nan's deliberate act."
"He is setting a trap that he believes we cannot see through."
"His goal is to use our hands to eliminate potential dangers for him."
"The reason I didn't say so earlier was to test you all."
"Lu Jin, is it?"
"Good, you haven't disappointed this old man."
Lu Jin quickly said, "You praise me too much, Elder!"
Everyone else lowered their heads in shame.
Nie Chu continued, "Do you know why this old man intentionally walked into Chen Nan's trap?"
Lu Jin shook his head.
A thoughtful arc appeared at the corner of Nie Chu's mouth. "He thinks he can reap the benefits of others' labor, hmph, how does he know that true hunters always appear as prey?"
"No matter what conspiracy or open ploy he has."
"I will shatter it before him."
As he spoke, he looked at his clenched right fist, his eyes filled with coldness. "Under his very nose, I will seize the opportunity that belongs to him!"
