The Heavens Start to Reverse Fate from Martial Arts

Chapter 316 Chen Nan's shock, huge temptation
With mixed feelings, Chu Yue, carrying the brocade box containing Hou Yi's bow, headed towards Yuelai Inn on West Street, escorted by a group of powerful men from the Qishi Mansion.

Along the way, she had a lot of thoughts in her mind.

Hou Yi's bow is of great significance to the State of Chu, but now it has to be used as a bargaining chip in exchange for Chen Nan's help, which makes it a little difficult for her to accept.

But Xuanzu's order and her father's determination left her no room for refusal.

And what her father proposed made her feel even more complicated.

You know, because of Nalan Ruoshui's matter, she and Chen Nan have irreconcilable conflicts, and it is not easy to resolve them.

The most troublesome thing is that Nalan Ruoshui had already left the imperial capital.

No one knows where she is now, otherwise with her mediating, the situation would have a lot more room for maneuver.

This also means...she might have to sacrifice her younger sister's happiness, which is a little hard for her to accept.

West Street Yuelai Inn.

Chen Nan and Long Wu sat by the window, feeling the lively yet turbulent atmosphere outside the window. Both of them seemed very cautious.

They felt a powerful aura coming from the direction of the imperial palace, and knew that the State of Chu would face a huge crisis this time.

Chen Nan has complicated feelings towards the State of Chu.

He had many experiences here, both gratitude and grudges. Although hatred was the majority, he did not want the State of Chu to fall into an irretrievable situation.

With his experience, he deeply understood the terrible impact that would be brought to the structure of the East Fantasy Continent if something happened to the State of Chu.

Chu Yue led the guards and walked into the inn. With her sharp eyes, she quickly found Chen Nan and the other two who were sitting by the window.

Chen Nan was dressed in a blue shirt and had an ordinary face. There was a hint of melancholy between his brows, as if he was carrying an endless past. The determination in his eyes was very impressive.

The moment Chu Yue stepped into the inn, Chen Nan's expression instantly turned ugly. He stood up, nodded to the old poison monster and other people from the Qi Shi Mansion, and then looked at Chu Yue with a vigilant look.

He was obviously still brooding over the matter of Nalan Ruoshui, and did not like the beautiful woman Chu Yue.

"Enemy?" Long Wu slowly stood up and secretly prepared for a battle.

Chen Nan nodded in agreement. Ever since the incident with Nalan Ruoshui, he had seen through Chu Yue. She had no intention of being a friend to him at all and was only concerned with making the State of Chu stronger.

Such a woman's political tactics are very scary. If you are not careful, you will be calculated by her and become a tool for the other party to seek benefits.

Ever since the incident with Nalan Ruoshui, his relationship with Chu Yue and Emperor Chu has been almost like that of an enemy.

But Chu Xuanzu rescued him several times. Although it was not done with good intentions, he saved his life after all. He also had an awkward relationship with the little princess Chu Yu, so it would be a bit of an exaggeration to say that he was an enemy.

All in all, the relationship between the two sides is very complicated.

Everyone in the inn recognized Princess Chu Yue's identity, and under the stern gazes of the guards, they all stood up and left tactfully.

“Hahaha…boy Chen Nan, I haven’t seen you for a few years. You’ve already become one of the top ten young men in the East and West Fantasy Continents. That’s incredible.” Noticing that the atmosphere was not right, the old witch hurriedly laughed and stepped forward to ease the atmosphere between them.

The old witch was wearing a simple wizard robe. She looked Chen Nan up and down for a while, and said with a hoarse voice, "Chen Nan, what realm are you in now? I am a little old and blurry, and I can't tell your current level."

Chen Nan sorted out his emotions, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Senior, I have just entered the fourth stage of Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation not long ago, and my little achievement is not worth boasting about."

He had great respect for everyone in the Qishi Mansion, especially the old poison monster and the old witch, and received a lot of care from them during his time in Chu.

Chu Yue slowly approached and called softly, "Mr. Chen Nan, I haven't seen you for a long time. How have you been recently?"

Chen Nan's smile faded, he glanced at Chu Yue calmly, and said calmly: "It turned out to be Her Royal Highness the Princess. Thanks to you, I have grown a lot after my trip to the Free City. It can't be said to be good, but it can't be said to be bad either."

Long Wu's gaze swept over Chen Nan and Chu Yue, then he restrained his hostility as if thinking about something and quietly observed the situation.

Chu Yue looked normal, and bowed slightly: "What happened in the past was all my fault. I would like to apologize to Master Chen Nan. We will discuss the blame later. This time, I came here to discuss something important with Master Chen Nan."

Chen Nan narrowed his eyes, and in a flash of thought, he had already made some guesses. He stretched out his hand to signal her to sit down. After both of them were seated, he said lightly: "Princess, please speak."

After Chu Yue sat down, she said directly without beating around the bush: "There have been many strange phenomena in the Chu Kingdom's palace recently. It seems that a rare treasure has appeared, attracting countless powerful people to covet it. Although our Xuanzu is suppressing it, the situation is still critical. The royal family would like to ask Master Chen Nan for help."

Long Wu chuckled and said, "Princess, you are joking. Chen Nan is only a fourth-level warrior. This little bit of strength can't help the Chu Kingdom at all."

Chu Yue looked at Long Wu, a strange color flashed in her eyes, and she smiled gently and said, "I think you are Miss Long Wu from the Long family of Jin. The Long family is one of the top ten cultivation families in the Central Plains, so Miss Long Wu should have good knowledge."

"With Chen Nan's current strength, holding the Hou Yi bow, he can be on par with a fifth-rank peerless powerhouse. The role of any peerless powerhouse cannot be ignored."

Long Wu shook his head and said, "There is a fundamental difference between a peerless strongman who relies on external objects and a true peerless strongman. In such a terrible battlefield, one's life will be in danger if one is not careful. The princess's proposal... is too unreasonable."

Once the extraordinary treasure beneath the Chu Imperial Palace comes out, many powerful people hiding in the dark will surely rush up, and a shocking war will be inevitable.

Chu State Xuanzu is a powerful warrior at the peak of the sixth level of Zhenwu. If even he is not sure about something, it is conceivable that there must be other sixth-level warriors involved.

In such a terrible battlefield, even if Chen Nan was holding Hou Yi's bow, he would still be in great danger and might even die.

Chen Nan interrupted Chu Yue with a sneer: "Humph, the princess does have confidence in me, Chen Nan. But why should I help the Chu Kingdom? The princess should know very well what happened in the Chu Kingdom. I, Chen Nan, am not the kind of good-for-nothing who forgets the pain after the wound has healed. I can clearly distinguish between gratitude, resentment, and love and hatred in my heart."

Chu Yue bit her lower lip lightly, guilt showing on her beautiful face, and said solemnly: "Mr. Chen Nan, I was inconsiderate and hurt you in the matter of Ruoshui before."

"But if the Chu Kingdom suffers a heavy loss due to the rare treasure, it will cause turmoil in the Eastern Fantasy Continent. You have lived in the Chu Kingdom before, so you probably don't want to see the people of the Chu Kingdom suffer?"

Long Wu pulled Chen Nan's sleeve and whispered, "Chen Nan, she has some truth in what she said. If something really happens to the State of Chu, the consequences will be disastrous."

Chen Nan was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "What exactly is the rare treasure in the palace? It has attracted the covetousness of so many powerful people, and even the Chu State Xuanzu has difficulty in suppressing the situation." Chu Yue looked around, leaned forward, and said in a low voice, "The ancestors said that a strong man has resurrected against the will of heaven, but my father and I both believe that an ancient rare treasure has been born, which is now recognized by the world."

Chen Nan's face showed shock, and huge waves surged in his heart.

The strong man has returned from resurrection against all odds!

This reminded him of his own experience. He died ten thousand years ago and was resurrected in the Cemetery of Gods and Demons ten thousand years later.

Now there is someone like me who has been resurrected against the will of heaven!

Chen Nan’s mind echoed with the conversation with the nameless god and demon in the death zone.

"If you want to take the life of a dying person against all odds, there are many powerful beings in the world who can do it. But if you want to bring back a person who has already died, this is too terrifying. This kind of cultivation can be said to be comparable to the work of nature."

"Think about it, if he wanted to, wouldn't he be able to summon the soul of the legendary, most powerful being that had long since passed away? I really can't imagine that such a person exists. But fortunately, he is far from being as powerful as I imagined."

"You were able to be resurrected because, on the one hand, that person's supreme cultivation changed your fate and reunited your dissipated soul and suppressed it in your body. On the other hand, you relied on the spiritual energy emitted by the deceased gods and demons in the Cemetery of Gods and Demons to help you gather the energy of life again."

"The person who changed your fate against all odds used a shocking method. He actually set his sights on the dead gods and demons. This is truly a genius idea!"

"The Cemetery of Gods and Demons is an extremely special place, filled with the breath of gods and spirits. It is easy to gather the energy of life, and it is an excellent place for you to be resurrected. However, life and death are interdependent between heaven and earth. Where there is life, there is also death."

"The person who changed your fate must have set up some mysterious formation around your little grave to block the aura of death and gather the aura of life."

"But it's impossible to completely keep all the death energy out of the formation. When you absorb endless life energy, endless death energy also accumulates in your body, but there is more life energy. If this pattern is broken one day, you will fall into an irretrievable situation again."

"The only way to completely eliminate the hidden danger is to drain the endless dead energy from your body. However, if you are not careful, it will disrupt the life and death situation. In that case, you will completely disappear and it will be impossible to reunite your soul. So even I dare not help you."

"Although the dead energy in your body is difficult to discharge, if nothing unexpected happens, the delicate life and death pattern will not be easily broken. Generally speaking, you will not be in any danger."

"The stability of the life and death situation is not your biggest hidden danger. The biggest hidden danger comes from the power of gods and demons in your body."

"Although the person who changed your fate against the will of heaven has boundless magical power, he still hasn't figured out another change. While the divine aura is condensing the aura of life, the divine and demonic power that the gods and demons have dissipated is also quietly condensing."

"For tens of thousands of years, the power of gods and demons has been accumulating in your body and has reached a considerable level. When you were in a trance, I opened my eyes and found two black and white balls of light formed by the power of gods and demons in your body."

"The two balls of light are actually emitting pulses of life. They are obviously two living creatures. I am worried that one day they will backfire on you."

"If this is really a scheme set up by someone, the result he expects must be extremely high. This earth-shattering scheme actually takes tens of thousands of years to complete. It's really a big deal! Who is he? What exactly does he want to do?"

……

"It's hard to say whether someone is using you to set up a shocking situation, but there is no situation in this world that cannot be broken. As long as you never give in and dare to fight against the heavens, everything is possible. Be careful with the jade ruyi on your body, it may be more terrifying than the two light balls in your body!"

The words of the nameless gods and demons were vaguely echoing in Chen Nan's ears. The immortal corpse under the ancient book library made him think of many things, and his expression became dazed for a moment.

Seeing Chen Nan like this, Long Wu put her hand on the back of his hand worriedly.

She knew very well that Chen Nan was not as free and easy as he appeared to be, and he was carrying too many unknown things.

Chen Nan came back to his senses, took a deep breath, and said in a concentrated voice: "This matter is of no small importance. Even if I have the Hou Yi bow in my hand, I can't beat four people with two fists."

In fact, he had already made up his mind. If for no other reason, just to see the powerful man who had returned from resurrection against the will of heaven, he had to go to the Chu Palace.

But no matter where he goes, he will not work for the State of Chu, and he will not lose any of the benefits he deserves.

A brilliant smile appeared on Chu Yue's beautiful face: "In addition to Master Chen Nan, the Chu royal family has also invited several other hidden masters, and the seniors of Qishi Mansion will also take action together."

"Plus, the old ancestor's strength has returned to its peak. He is a genuine sixth-rank Zhenwu expert. He is not as dangerous as imagined."

The old witch said, "Chen Nan, this matter is indeed difficult, but Hou Yi's bow is a divine weapon. With your participation, Chu's chances of winning will increase significantly."

"You mean... Chu State's Xuanzu has recovered his peak strength?" Chen Nan was shocked.

He could not forget that after the old monster failed in taking over his body, he suffered an extremely serious backlash, which seriously damaged his vitality and he would not live long.

How come after such a short separation, the old monster was not only not in danger of death, but had recovered his peak strength?

Could it be that the immortal corpse in the ancient temple has been resurrected against all odds?
Chu Yue nodded her head lightly and said in a serious tone, "I don't know how the old ancestor recovered, but he did regain his youth and returned to the peak strength of his middle age, and his strength has improved slightly. There is no need for me to lie to Master Chen Nan about this."

Chen Nan frowned and fell into deep thought. What if the old monster really rejuvenated and regained the strength of his middle age?

Doesn't that mean that the other party might really be able to get some incredible opportunity from the immortal corpse?

Seeing Chen Nan remained silent for a long time, Chu Yue frowned slightly, sighed inexplicably, took out the brocade box containing Hou Yi's bow from behind, stretched out her hand and stepped in front of Chen Nan: "If Master Chen Nan helps you with all your strength this time, the State of Chu... is willing to give you the Hou Yi bow."

"Really?!" Chen Nan stood up suddenly, staring at the brocade box on the table in front of him.

The words of the other party giving Houyi the bow were like thunder exploding in his heart.

With his current strength, as long as he has the Houyi bow in his hand, it is equivalent to being promoted to the ranks of the fifth-level peerless powerhouses.

Meng Keer, who controls the Jade Lotus Platform, and the little demon king Hun Tian, ​​who possesses divine and demonic wings, can shoot them to death in an instant with just a bow and arrow.

It is really hard to withstand such a huge temptation.

Chu Yue said calmly: "Houyi's bow was once sealed. It may be useless to others, but to you, it is a first-class treasure. With Houyi's bow in hand, you will be the best archer in the East and West Fantasy Continent. No matter how powerful the enemy is, they can't escape your sharpshooting."
