School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master

Chapter 661: Chapter 737 Corpse-controlling Sect

The middle-aged man was so frightened that his whole body trembled, and cold sweat large as beans fell like rain, streaming down his face.

Chen Nan squatted down and said indifferently, ”You should have cooperated like this earlier, now talk.”

”It has... it has already been taken back by my junior brother.”

Pain made the middle-aged man’s teeth chatter, and his tongue stiffened, making his speech unclear.

Chen Nan glared at him, and seeing that the man did not continue, Chen Nan slapped him across the face, knocking out two of his teeth. He said coldly, ”Do I really have to ask you every single question? Say everything that you should, and I might spare your life.”

Seeing a glimmer of hope in his despair, the middle-aged man’s murky eyes flashed with light, barely concealing his surprise, ”You... you really will let me go?”

”That will depend on how you perform.”

Chen Nan gave him a contemptuous look and said, ”Had you not spoken so unwillingly earlier, I wouldn’t just spare you; I’d have crushed your bones to feed to the dogs. But if you are honest and tell me everything, I assure you that I won’t kill you.”

The middle-aged man clenched his teeth: ”Why... why should I believe you?”

”Slap slap slap...”

Chen Nan landed three slaps on his face, leaving him bruised, his teeth and blood flying, ”Because I currently have control over your life and death, you don’t have the right to bargain with me, and you don’t need to believe me because I always keep my word. Whether you live or die depends on your choice now.”

The middle-aged man fell silent.

After a moment’s hesitation, he nodded and said, ”Fine, I will trust you this time!”

Chen Nan shrugged his shoulders, signaling him to continue.

”I am from the Corpse Controlling Sect. We were fighting over the Concentration Fruit to gain control over Su Qingqing...”

”Wait!”

Chen Nan interrupted him, ”The Corpse Controlling Sect? What’s the relationship with the Corpse Control Sect?”

Mentioning the Corpse Control Sect, disdain flashed across the middle-aged man’s face, ”Our Corpse Controlling Sect is hidden from the world, little known to others, whereas the Corpse Control Sect is merely a dog we raised to take bullets for us.”

Chen Nan seemed to understand something now.

The Corpse Controlling Sect was deeply hidden, and the Corpse Control Sect was there to shield them from the storm.

If someone from the Corpse Controlling Sect did something outrageous, people would assume it was the Corpse Control Sect, directing their anger toward them, while the Corpse Controlling Sect remained beyond any legal retributions, secretly continuing their nefarious activities.

Now that Chen Nan had destroyed the Corpse Control Sect, the people from the Corpse Controlling Sect had to take matters into their own hands.

Chen Nan frowned and said, ”The people from the Corpse Control Sect are martial artists, why are you a Cultivator?”

”Our Corpse Controlling Sect is divided into two schools, one that practices martial arts, the other that follows the path of cultivation, and there are a few geniuses who pursue both.”

Martial arts and cultivation combined!

Chen Nan couldn’t help but think of Long Zhigang, the guy who suddenly transferred back to Yutan Middle School, once one of the Four School Bullies. He was skilled in both martial arts and cultivation, and Chen Nan had fought him on the street once before.

”Long Zhigang is from your Corpse Controlling Sect, isn’t he?”

The middle-aged man shook his head, ”I have never heard of this person.”

Chen Nan saw he did not appear to be lying, so he did not press further but said, ”You just mentioned that you wanted the Concentration Fruit to control Su Qingqing, what is that about?”

”Su Qingqing is a descendant of the Immortal Spirit Saintess and has also merged with the Holy Maiden’s Right Arm, containing an extremely powerful force within her body. Therefore, we wanted to kill you and obtain the Concentration Fruit, then use the Disguise Technique, sending one of my junior brothers to pose as you to control Su Qingqing’s consciousness and have her consume the Concentration Fruit. With Su Qingqing’s feelings for you, my junior brother would surely succeed in refining her into a war corpse to serve our Corpse Controlling Sect.”

Hearing this, Chen Nan’s rage surged to the heavens.

”They want to turn Su Qingqing into a war corpse just like the Corpse Control Sect!”

Chen Nan clenched his fists, holding back from killing the man before him. He said, ”What about that chicken? Where did your disciple take it?”

”He couldn’t remove the storage ring, so he planned to take it back to the branch to refine it. He’s already on his way back to the Corpse-controlling Sect branch; it’s probably too late for you to chase after him now,” said the middle-aged man.

Refine the Black Feathered Chicken?

Chen Nan wasn’t worried about that at all unless there were masters of the Heavenly Realm in the Corpse-controlling Sect branch.

After all, although the dead chicken’s inner strength cultivation was damaged, its body was of the Tongtian Second Layer Heaven, not so easily refined.

”How far is your branch from here?”

The middle-aged man hesitated for a long while before shaking his head and said, ”I can’t tell you. You might as well kill me.”

Without another word, Chen Nan drew his dagger and slashed the man several times, causing him to cry out in pain, screaming for mercy. Only then did Chen Nan say, ”I told you I wouldn’t kill you. If you don’t speak, I will slash you five thousand times and let you see your own bones and organs!”

”I... I...”

The middle-aged man’s mouth trembled nonstop. Seeing Chen Nan’s knife about to fall again, he hurriedly said, ”I’ll speak, I’ll speak! The Corpse-controlling Sect’s branches are scattered all over the world; fifty li south from here is the Nanlu Branch.”

”Nanlu Branch?” Chen Nan coldly said, ”How many masters are there inside?”

Scared out of his wits, the middle-aged man quickly said, ”I am the deputy head of the Nanlu Branch. Inside the branch, apart from the leader who is at the Seventh Layer of Control, there are two deputy heads at the Sixth Level of Taoist, and the rest are below the Five-layered Taoist.”

Chen Nan was inwardly alarmed.

The strength of this Corpse-controlling Sect was indeed not something the Corpse Control Sect could compare to.

The Sect Leader of the Corpse Control Sect was only at the Taming Heaven Fourth Layer, whereas in this Corpse-controlling Sect, just a random branch leader was at the Seventh Level of Tao Control. How terrifying must the Sect Master of the Corpse-controlling Sect be?

Chen Nan found it hard to imagine and preferred not to think about it.

”How many people are in the Nanlu Branch in total?”

”There are over two hundred people in a branch, but they are mostly scattered around. Those who stay in the branch are probably only twenty or thirty people.”

Chen Nan had almost asked everything he needed to know.

To guard against any tricks, he suddenly lifted his dagger and stabbed it fiercely into the middle-aged man’s abdomen, glaring as he said, ”You damn better not lie to me!”

In tears from the pain, the middle-aged man frantically shook his head, ”No, I really haven’t lied to you; everything I said is true!”

Seeing he didn’t seem to be lying, Chen Nan then withdrew his dagger.

Blood gushed out. The middle-aged man was drenched in blood, turning him into a bloody mess. Yet, he sneered in his heart. Although the branch didn’t have many masters, it had quite a few powerful war corpses. He believed that Chen Nan’s journey there would be a one-way trip!

He looked at Chen Nan, his voice trembling, ”I have told you everything, you... you can let me go now, right?”

”Of course!”

Chen Nan pulled out the four long swords embedded in the man’s body and said, ”You performed well; I can grant you a swift death.”

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man’s face filled with panic: ”You... you said you wouldn’t kill me, you can’t kill me!”

Chen Nan gave a cold smile and directly chopped off his head.

”All is fair in war!”

Chen Nan quickly chased southward with his sword in hand.
