Return of the Ancient Gods

Chu Nan and Little Phoenix climbed the hill with difficulty and left the Death Canyon, completely unaware of what happened after they left.

"I heard from the old gentleman that Beiyan has been stationing strong men in the Divine Fire Realm outside for the past three years. There will be a fierce battle when we go out."

Chu Nan smiled. If it weren't for the mysterious old man's reminder, he wouldn't have known that Bei Yan's obsession was so deep. At the same time, he was also curious about the little phoenix and asked:

"With the help of the Heaven and Earth Origin Fluid, your hidden injuries should be almost healed. It won't take long for you to recover to your prime after you get out. Will you continue to stay with me, or leave me and seek revenge?"

"From what you said, it seems that you don't want to go out into the big world and venture out, and are content to stay at home?" Little Phoenix questioned. Chu Nan often jumps between a playboy and an ambitious young man, making him hard to figure out.

"Let's talk about it later. I must go to the big world, but I still have to deal with things at home first." Chu Nan said casually. It was unknown whether he was worried at that moment or he was at a loss about the vast world outside.

After a long time, Chu Nan and the other person finally reached the edge of the Death Canyon. They were very lucky to have found a gap and did not encounter anyone from Beiyan.

After returning to the world, if Chu Nan was not worried about attracting the attention of Beiyan's strong men, he would really roar to the sky, announce his return to the world, and continue his previous fight with Beiyan.

After a quick glance, Chu Nan found a tavern nearby.

This is just north of the Death Canyon, with deserts crisscrossing everywhere. It is the border area between the five northwestern countries and Northern Yan, and is at least thousands of miles away from Southern Chu.

After letting the little phoenix return to his body, Chu Nan walked into this nameless tavern alone.

The pub is not big, with a front desk and a few wine tables, and the slightly dim light makes it quite romantic.

The owner of the tavern was a charming lady in her early thirties, wearing an apricot-colored scarf on her head. When Chu Nan walked into the tavern, she was concentrating on mixing fine wine. Her pair of slender hands were particularly eye-catching, which did not match her cultivation level of the True God Realm.

At this time, there were still a few drinkers in the store, making a lot of noise. They were dressed differently and did not seem to be in the same group.

"Sir, please take a seat. What would you like to drink?" Feeling Chu Nan's burning gaze, the shopkeeper's sister came to her senses and politely entertained him. She looked at Chu Nan carefully and took the initiative to hand him a glass of sake.

"I've booked the place today, so please bring out all the best wine you have." Chu Nan said with a smile, and took a sip, feeling very unhappy.

"This is a small business, no credit." Seeing Chu Nan's ragged clothes, the shopkeeper kindly reminded him that it was not convenient to say anything unpleasant.

Looking down at himself, Chu Nan smiled awkwardly. The battle at Luofengpo was brutal. Apart from the Xiaolinglong world, his space ring had been lost, so he did not pay attention to his appearance.

"Don't worry, I won't eat for free."

Most of the Death Canyon is located within the territory of the five northwestern countries. Due to its special nature, it not only fails to provide help to the local people, but instead restricts the development of monks. Therefore, this area is considered to be a very barren and chaotic place.

Chu Nan remembered that this place was deserted three years ago. Now there is a tavern here, and so many people come here to patronize it, which is surprising.

Looking at this place, it doesn't look like a shady shop.

Soon, a cup of turbid wine was brought up. Looking at the turbid substance in the cup, Chu Nan also showed difficulty and was hesitant to take a sip.

"What's the matter, sir? Are you dissatisfied with the poor quality of our store's merchandise?" the store owner's sister asked jokingly. She could more or less guess what Chu Nan was thinking. Such reactions were not uncommon.

"Sister, you misunderstood. It's just that everyone has different drinking habits. Some people like to gulp down the drink, some like to savor it carefully, and some just use alcohol as a way to vent.

The way of drinking wine is to have good quality, beautiful utensils and elegant taste. I am not a particular person. As long as there is a beautiful woman to accompany me, it is fine. "Chu Nan stretched out his hand to tease the store owner's sister, like a playboy,

"I wonder if my sister would like to get drunk with me?"

Just as his hand was about to touch the shop owner's sister's face, it was slapped back with a "slap". He had no choice but to give up and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

The wine was turbid, but it was unexpectedly strong. His throat felt hot, as if it was mixed with poison. Chu Nan swallowed it down with difficulty.

If he hadn't seen the shop owner's sister smiling, he would have suspected that she was seeking revenge for what had just happened.

"Oh, I thought you were an expert in wine, but I didn't expect it to be like this. It's such a waste of this century-old wine." The shop owner said with a smile.

After a long pause, Chu Nan finally felt better after using his strength to dispel the effects of the alcohol. He spoke:

“It’s really a waste of natural resources, but I didn’t expect that my sister would have such a good product.

This store of yours must have been newly built. Opening a tavern in such a deserted place doesn't look like the act of a smart businessman."

"..."

Hearing Chu Nan's words, the store owner was stunned for a long time. She looked carefully at Chu Nan's unfamiliar face and immediately understood.

"Little brother, you have been traveling outside and just came here, no wonder you look unfamiliar..."

"I guess so. I came here three years ago." Chu Nan smiled bitterly. He didn't understand the situation here, so it was better to be cautious.

"Oh, that's how it is." The shopkeeper suddenly realized, then lowered his head to continue mixing the wine while explaining to Chu Nan:

The shop was built three years ago. After the battle of Luofengpo, Chu Nan was knocked down into the Death Canyon. Beiyan refused to give up but no one dared to go down, so they sent strong men in the True God Realm to surround the Death Canyon. In addition, the news of the birth of rare treasures in this area recently attracted many people.

"It's really unexpected. People come and go, and they are well-informed. Let me ask you, sister, first. I wonder what news has come out of the Zhongzhou fox clan in the past three years?" Chu Nan is most worried about Xue'er's situation now. He has learned a lot about the fox clan from the little phoenix, and he also understands the reaction of Ancestor Zi Yan at that time.

"I don't know. It's too far away and we can't reach it. Sir, you should ask about the things in this area." The store owner smiled bitterly and kept shaking her head.

"Okay, then sister, tell me what's going on in Beiyan. The name of the Death Canyon is known to the world. People have fallen into it, and they are still worried?" Chu Nan did not embarrass her. He changed the question and began to worry about his own situation.

"Who knows? There are such monsters in this world, and they can often do things beyond human cognition. Beiyan does not want to see another Demon Suppressing King, especially Chu Nan, the son of this Demon Suppressing King. He has been hailed as the hope of Nanchu since he was born. This is even more intolerable." The store owner sighed helplessly, showing a very indifferent attitude.

"That's not the case. In my opinion, Beiyan is just too useless!" Hearing what Chu Nan and the others were talking about, a drunkard couldn't help but get involved. He grabbed the jar of wine in one hand and walked over tremblingly, sitting directly next to Chu Nan.
