Return of the Ancient Gods

After coming to the Shiwandashan Mountains, Chu Nan's confusion did not decrease at all, but increased a lot, and he did not see any trace of the old man.

After feeling the pain, Chu Nan finally learned his lesson and turned back. On the way, he also listened to the fat man Wen Tao telling him many things about Liuyu Palace:

After Chu Xiu's treason, not only did the Ancient Tianxiang Sect show signs of rebellion, but the Liuyu Palace was also restless and wanted to explode. However, its location was not good as it was located in the heart of the Great Chu Dynasty and not far away from the Ten Thousand Mountains. It was immediately taken control by the army sent by the Demon Suppression King.

After some investigation, a lot of evidence was indeed found of the collaboration between Liuyu Palace and Chu Xiu in treason. At that time, many people proposed to eradicate them, but due to the current situation, Emperor Chu and the Demon-Suppressing King did not act rashly and only imprisoned the entire Liuyu Palace.

Let’s wait until Chu Nan comes back.

"Well, it's time to clean up these termites."

Liuyu Palace had anticipated such a situation, and had been hiding in the sect for the past three years, using the sect's resources to frantically improve their realm and strength in order to seek a glimmer of survival. To this end, they even sacrificed their future potential for cultivation and cultivated more than a dozen peak Void God Realm powerhouses.

It was a pity that when Chu Nan displayed the combat power of a true god, all their efforts came to nothing. Liuyu Palace, which was once considered one of the three top sects of the Great Chu Dynasty, was destroyed without leaving any trace under the burning of the Phoenix Divine Fire.

"Humph, the royal family has everything they have today in order to suppress you and consolidate power? All under heaven belongs to the king, and all the people in the world are his subjects. You disobeyed orders, brought disaster to one side, and even colluded with the enemy country to betray for your own meaningless ambitions. You have committed countless sins, and yet you still dare to say that you are innocent?" After cleaning up the Liuyu Palace, Chu Nan crushed their golden signboard with one foot and sneered,

"It's no wonder that Qin Yiyi, Chu Xiu and the others have suffered such a fate because of your group of delusional teammates!"

……

After eliminating the hidden danger of Liuyu Palace, Chu Nan returned to Beijing to meet up with Old Xu and prepared to go to the East China Sea. Before leaving, he kept looking towards the north:

During the past three years, due to the delicate relationship between Southern Chu and Northern Yan, the Emperor of Chu agreed to release Northern Yan's Crown Prince Ye Renjie back to his country. However, Northern Yan was later defeated and sent another prince to be held hostage in Southern Chu - the Second Prince!

"I have been a hostage for twenty years. Although I know that releasing Ye Renjie is like letting a tiger return to the mountains, there is no point in keeping him any longer. In the future, Southern Chu will have a strong enemy." Recalling the several battles with Northern Yan's Crown Prince Ye Renjie, Chu Nan couldn't help but feel emotional. He really couldn't agree with his approach.

"He sent his brother here even though it was unnecessary. At a time when the situation between the two countries is tense, he wants to use us to kill people. What a good trick!"

"..."

With Old Xu leading the way, he kept telling the story of how Princess Jinyang was ambushed. After a few days of sailing, they finally arrived at the place where the army was stationed.

"It was in this area at that time that the princess led our 15-man army to patrol the sea, and was suddenly ambushed by three strong men from Beiyan. The enemy's target was the princess. In order to preserve the strength of the army, the princess asked several of our deputy generals to temporarily command the entire army, while she led the army away alone.

Later, there was a great change in the country, and I was ordered to return to the capital. When I returned, I still had no news from the princess. In the past three years, I led the team to search in the direction where the princess escaped that day, but apart from some traces of fighting and injuries, there was no major discovery..."

"..."

As Old Xu spoke, many soldiers in the army began to sob quietly, tears streaming down their cheeks. Normally, the princess treated them very well, and they never thought that such a change would happen.

Looking around, there are rolling waves, the water and the sky are connected, and there is nothing on the vast ocean except for a few isolated islands, let alone human figures.

"Okay, stop crying. What's the use of crying? The most urgent thing is to find out where our mother is." At first, Chu Nan was quite confident about his mother's situation, but after returning from the Shiwanda Mountains and coming here to check it out in person, his heart was inexplicably confused and he roared impatiently.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, we are also..."

Chu Nan did not scold anyone and led the army north to search, especially to the place where Old Xu had said traces of a fight between his mother and others were found.

On a coral reef the size of a palace, Chu Nan found a pool of wet blood. He reached out to touch it, and felt a dull pain in his heart. The scene of his mother being beaten vaguely emerged in his mind.

"Your Excellency, have you discovered anything?" Old Xu noticed Chu Nan's abnormal behavior and asked curiously. They had been here before, but only found traces of fighting and blood, so they didn't dare to speculate more.

"It's my mother. I can feel that this is the result of my mother's injury. The battle was extremely fierce at that time, and it was the first time for my mother to suffer such a serious injury..." Chu Nan held his head with one hand, trying to reconstruct what happened that day in his mind. He looked very uncomfortable, and even his breathing became much more rapid. He turned around and finally determined a direction.

"Over there, let's go over there quickly!"

“Okay!” No one knew how Chu Nan did it, whether it was because of the time travel back or the blood relationship between mother and son, and because he had witnessed so many miracles of hers, Old Xu chose to believe it.

The army followed Chu Nan's instructions and sailed hundreds of kilometers to the northwest sea. They had not yet found any trace of Princess Jinyang, but unexpectedly encountered an army of 10,000 people from Northern Yan:

"In order to ensure that my mother cannot come back alive, you are sending reinforcements to pursue us, right?" Upon seeing the other party's identity, Chu Nan was immediately furious and ordered the army to be on alert and ready to fight at any time.

This Northern Yan army did come here to hunt down Princess Jinyang, but they did not expect Chu Nan to dare to lead his troops here and go deep into the waters under the jurisdiction of Northern Yan.

The distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer. The time had come. While the Beiyan team had not noticed yet, Chu Nan immediately ordered an attack.

Boom boom boom!

There was continuous artillery fire and Beiyan was completely stunned at the beginning. The troops were in chaos and suffered heavy casualties. Fortunately, there was a celestial god in the team who expended a lot of divine power to protect the army.

"Not bad, it seems that the opponent's force is not weak. But after the previous round of attacks, I don't believe he was not seriously injured." Relying on the sharpness of his soul, Chu Nan noticed the situation first, allowing the army to take the initiative.

Although the result was not very satisfactory and the Northern Yan navy was not completely wiped out, it was still rare.

Beiyan was jealous and deployed its battle formation. The strong men in the God Realm fought on the battlefield in the sky, while the main force fought on the sea.

The young general of Beiyan also recognized Chu Nan. He was at the fifth level of the True God Realm, ranked seventh among the young geniuses of Beiyan. He was a capable general under the Second Prince, and took the initiative to challenge him:

"I know you are here today to find the Great Chu Dynasty's Valkyrie Princess Jinyang. It just so happens that I need to settle the account I owe you three years ago. My name is Taishu Jian. Do you dare to fight me?"

"Fight!" Chu Nan roared, holding the gun in the air, and took the initiative to kill the opponent.

Chu Nan was worried about his mother's safety and felt very angry. Now that he was meeting his enemy, he was naturally jealous.

"Be careful, don't be provoked by the other side!" A deputy general carefully reminded, but these words did not reach Chu Nan's ears at all.
