School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master

Chapter 795: Chapter 872: Mysterious Woman

”Hey, wait a moment, I still have something to say!”

Chen Nan shouted, but it was already too late; the mysterious woman in red had already left, and within the silent cave, only two rows of mummified corpses stood quietly in place.

Chen Nan looked toward the corpse at the very front; he remembered that it was this corpse that had chased him out last time, but now it didn’t move at all. He wondered if it chose not to move or if it was truly completely dead.

Chen Nan had no interest in researching mummified corpses.

Therefore, he turned around without hesitation and looked at the stone wall behind him.

He was certain that the stone wall behind him was the mechanical door that led to the underground chambers of Dead City. He just couldn’t find the mechanism to open the gate straight away.

Chen Nan felt somewhat frustrated; that woman in red had left in such a hurry. The least she could have done was to tell him where the mechanism to open the door was!

As he was thinking this, the voice of the woman in red suddenly sounded: ”Below the main seat, there is a protruding round stone, twist it to the left with force, and the stone gate shall open.”

Chen Nan quickly scanned his surroundings, but couldn’t see the woman in red anywhere. He asked anxiously, ”Where are you? I can’t see you.”

”A thousand miles away.”

The voice of the woman in red was somewhat ethereal, and no matter what Chen Nan said afterward, she no longer replied.

To transmit her voice from a thousand miles away!

Chen Nan was amazed, and quickly bent down to look. Underneath the main seat, just like the woman in red had described, there indeed was a protruding round stone. He twisted it to the left with force, and immediately the ground shook. A rumbling sound followed as the sealed mechanical stone door slowly opened.

The moment the stone gate opened, Chen Nan hastily lunged forward and returned to the underground of Dead City.

Zhao Han and Black Feathered Chicken were standing at the door. Seeing Chen Nan return, they finally breathed a sigh of relief, ”Are you alright?”

”Still alive,” Chen Nan replied.

”What about your severed arm? Did she take it?” Zhao Han asked.

Chen Nan nodded and took out the Crystal Ring, saying, ”The arm was taken by her, but she gave this back to me.”

Zhao Han and Black Feathered Chicken were both stunned, somewhat puzzled.

Logically speaking, that Arm was just a severed limb, while the ring was the true Treasure. Why would the woman in red value that severed arm but not care about this ring?

This was a question they couldn’t figure out, and neither could Chen Nan.

”Right, what did you mean earlier when you said she resurrected?” Zhao Han asked, and Black Feathered Chicken also looked at him full of curiosity.

Chen Nan recounted the events that had taken place in the Underwater Cave Mansion, startling both the man and the chicken.

”To resurrect after death, the Cultivation of this woman in red, it’s terrifying to think just how far she has reached.” Zhao Han said.

After a long silence, Black Feathered Chicken said, ”Certainly more formidable than Chicken Lord at his Peak.”

At his peak, Black Feathered Chicken reached the Tongtian Second Layer, yet the Cultivation of the woman in red was even higher than that. How terrifyingly high must that be?

Chen Nan could not imagine.

Afterward, the two and the chicken returned to the grand hall.

At this moment, the five Ancient Corpses had returned to their Stone Coffins, and the Martial Artists were locked inside cages.

Upon seeing Chen Nan come out, everyone pleaded non-stop, promising not to breathe a word of what happened if released, hoping Chen Nan would let them go.

After hesitating for a while, Chen Nan agreed.

These people had never been his enemies and were truly innocent. To imprison them for life would be overly cruel; instead, it would be better to use the Red Forget Dust to erase their recent memories.

Although, as their power increased, the effect of the Forget Dust would eventually weaken, that would be many years from now. By then, his Martial Arts Cultivation would certainly have become strong enough that, even if someone talked, he would no longer need to worry about retaliation.

Five Ancient Corpses leaped out of the Stone Coffin, breaking the imprisonment of the cage. Taking the opportunity, Chen Nan sealed the Acupoints of all the people present.

He sprinkled the Forget Dust, erasing their memories of the past day, and then Chen Nan left the great hall.

His Acupoint sealing wasn’t forceful; after two hours, these people’s Acupoints would unlock on their own, and they could leave the great hall themselves.

”There’s still Guo Qiye and those three Martial Artists who escaped,” Zhao Han said.

Chen Nan shook his head, ”To be precise, there is also that mysterious woman shrouded in Seven-Colored Radiant Light. Although she did not come in, she likely already knows what happened here.”

Zhao Han nodded, ”What you said makes sense.”

After leaving the great hall, the two of them, along with a Black Feathered Chicken, began to roam the Dead City in search of people.

However, after roaming half the city, they found nothing. Not to mention those individuals, they didn’t even see a ghostly shadow.

”Ahh!”

Suddenly, a piercing scream rang out.

Chen Nan furrowed his brows and rushed towards the direction of the scream.

When he entered a small alleyway, he found three bodies lying on the ground. They were the three Martial Artists who had escaped from the great hall. The three of them had no wounds, just blood spilling continuously from their mouths. They had not been killed by Ghost Soldiers but had been shaken to death by someone’s Inner Strength.

All three were not weak in martial arts, one was of the Ninth Layer of Imperial Path, and the other two were of the Ten Layers of Tao. Whoever was able to kill all three of them at the same time was definitely not an ordinary person.

”Guo Qiye doesn’t have the strength to kill all three at the same time,” Chen Nan said.

Zhao Han’s expression grew solemn, ”Could it be that mysterious woman?”

”That woman is truly not simple. It’s as if she’s covered in a layer of fog, completely inscrutable,” Chen Nan nodded and said, ”The fight she had with Guo Qiye was like a cat playing with a mouse; she did not exert much effort.”

Zhao Han nodded, ”This woman is indeed terrifying. Even if we brothers joined forces, we might not be able to defeat her.”

Chen Nan looked at the three corpses on the ground, ”If she really did this, what grudge do these three have against her that she had to take their lives?”

Then, suddenly a voice came from the rooftop—

”Weren’t you worried they’d go out and talk? I simply helped you by killing them. Isn’t that nice?” The voice was like the ringing of a silver bell, pleasant to the ear, but it gave Chen Nan a feeling of familiarity, as if he had heard a similar voice somewhere before.

The woman shrouded in Seven-Colored Light stood on the rooftop. With a light leap, she floated down.

Chen Nan focused his eye power on her face, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not see her true appearance. It was as if it was obscured by something, very blurry. Yet Chen Nan had a sense of déjà vu.

”Staring at someone’s face like this seems rather impolite,” the mysterious woman said.

Chen Nan withdrew his gaze, ”Are you a friend or a foe?”

The woman pointed to the three bodies on the ground, ”I’ve helped you kill, what do you think?”

Chen Nan had no time to beat around the bush, ”Where’s Guo Qiye?”

”He’s already left the Dead City.”

The woman spoke calmly, then turned and walked towards the adjacent alley, saying, ”If you don’t want to be trapped and die here, follow me. I know where the exit is.”
