...
He ignored the terrified gazes around him and casually brushed off the non-existent dust on his body.
Then he turned around and walked straight toward the outer periphery of the Star Dou Great Forest.
As Luo Nan stepped forward, the previously crowded crowd ahead instantly scattered frantically to both sides like Moses parting the sea, forcibly clearing a wide path.
No one dared to make a sound, and even breathing was done with extreme caution.
"Too terrifying... Golden Scale Blood Butcher was already extremely strong back when he was at the Spirit Saint Realm, and now that he has become a Titled Douluo, he is even more like a god or demon descending to the mortal world."
"Such a fierce god, who would dare provoke him? Whoever provokes him dies!"
Meng Shu swore inwardly that from now on, whenever he heard the name of Luo Nan or Moon Pavilion, he would definitely keep a wide berth.
With the awe-struck and terrified gazes of hundreds of Spirit Masters upon him, Luo Nan left this ruin leisurely, just like a monarch inspecting his territory.
However, just as Luo Nan's figure was about to disappear into the depths of the forest, someone in the crowd gritted their teeth hard.
This figure was extremely thin and wore a washed-out grey robe—it was none other than Bai He, the Clan Chief of the Speed Clan, one of the four affiliated Sects of the Clear Sky Sect!
At this moment, Bai He's inner heart was undergoing a fierce battle between heaven and humanity.
He had witnessed with his own eyes Luo Nan's heaven-destroying and earth-shattering terrifying strength, and even Sword Douluo was beaten so badly that he fled like a dog.
For a Spirit Douluo with hardly any attacking power like him, following closely behind was simply courting death.
However, thinking of the clansmen in the Family and the tragic, impoverished, and precarious plight of the Speed Clan today, Bai He's heart was bleeding.
"Fight it out! This is the only chance for the Speed Clan!"
"Since he is Tang Yuehua's husband, for the sake of our kinship, perhaps... perhaps he can leave us a path to survive!"
Bai He took a deep breath, circulating the Soul Power within his body to the absolute limit.
His Spirit, Needle Tailed Swift, instantly possessed him, and his entire body turned into an almost transparent afterimage, quietly slipping away from the crowd and following far behind in the direction Luo Nan had left.
Bai He truly lived up to his name as the fastest Spirit Douluo on the Douluo Continent; his tracking skills and stealth movement techniques had reached the pinnacle of perfection.
He did not dare to get too close, relying only on his acute perception to trail several miles behind Luo Nan from a distance.
In the forest, Luo Nan was shuttling forward at a speed that looked unhurried but was actually extremely fast.
Suddenly, his footsteps paused slightly, and a trace of imperceptible cold light flashed across his deep eyes.
"Interesting, even that old dog Chen Xin tucked his tail and fled, yet there is still someone who dares to track me?"
"Since you want to play, I will play along with you."
A sneer hooked at the corner of Luo Nan's mouth. The next second, his pace suddenly accelerated, and his entire body instantly turned into a black lightning bolt.
At the same time, he directly activated the ultimate darkness attribute, his body seeming to melt into the shadows of the forest without leaving even a trace of aura.
"Hide!"
Luo Nan's figure just vanished out of thin air into the dense primeval forest.
Several miles away, Bai He, who was tracking at full speed, suddenly changed his expression drastically.
"What is going on? The aura has disappeared?!"
Bai He was greatly shocked in his heart, and he hurriedly accelerated, transforming into a white stream of light as he rushed to the place where Luo Nan had just vanished within a few breaths.
However, apart from towering ancient trees and dense bushes, the surroundings were completely empty, with not a trace of Luo Nan to be found anywhere.
Unconvinced, Bai He frantically searched the surrounding radius of several miles, yet he still came up empty-handed.
Luo Nan seemed to have evaporated into thin air, leaving behind no clues or traces whatsoever.
"Sigh..."
Bai He stopped dejectedly on a thick tree trunk, his face full of bitterness and despair.
He let out a heavy sigh, as if he had aged ten years in an instant.
"It's over, completely lost track. The last bit of hope for the Speed Clan is also gone..." Bai He muttered to himself, his eye sockets turning slightly red.
Just as Bai He was disheartened and prepared to turn and leave,
"Old fellow, your speed is indeed not bad. However, tracking me, are you tired of living?"
"What?!"
Every hair on Bai He's body stood on end instantly, and an unprecedented sense of fatal crisis enveloped his entire body.
Subconsciously, he wanted to activate his Spirit to escape, but it was already too late.
A large hand resembling an iron pincer had unknowingly reached out from the shadow behind him, gripping his throat tightly!
That hand carried an extremely terrifying Soul Power suppression, instantly sealing off all Soul Power flow within Bai He's body.
Bai He's pride-inducing speed became a joke at this moment.
Luo Nan emerged from the shadows like a ghost, grabbing Bai He by the neck with one hand and lifting his entire body into mid-air.
Luo Nan's gaze was as cold as a knife, staring fixedly at the thin old man before him.
"Speak, who are you old man? Why are you following me?"
"If your answer doesn't satisfy me, this day next year will be your anniversary of death."
Luo Nan's voice carried undisguised murderous intent.
Bai He was choked until his face turned flushed and breathing became difficult, his legs struggling weakly in mid-air.
He felt the substantive killing intent on Luo Nan, knowing that the other party was definitely not joking.
"Cough cough... Don't... don't kill me! I... I am Bai He!" Bai He squeezed out a few words with difficulty from his throat.
"Bai He?" Luo Nan frowned slightly, feeling like he had heard this name somewhere before.
"I... I am the Clan Chief of the Speed Clan, one of the four former affiliated Sects of the Clear Sky Sect! Cough cough..."
Bai He hurriedly reported his identity, afraid that being a second too late would result in Luo Nan crushing his throat.
Upon hearing the words "Clear Sky Sect affiliated Sect", the chill in Luo Nan's eyes intensified even more.
"A running dog of the Clear Sky Sect?" Luo Nan sneered.
"As the Sect Master of a Clear Sky Sect affiliated Sect, instead of staying in your dog kennel, why did you run over to track me?"
"What, do you want to stand up for that turtle hiding its head, Tang Hao?"
"No! That's not it!" Bai He was so scared that his Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering occurred, hurriedly shaking his head violently.
"Our Speed Clan has long had nothing to do with the Clear Sky Sect!"
"I... I heard that you are Tang Yuehua's husband, so I... I chased up to take a look!"
"Yuehua?" Luo Nan's fingers loosened slightly, but he still did not let go of Bai He, "You know Yuehua?"
Bai He gasped for breath heavily, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, and spoke at an extremely fast speed:
"I know her! Of course I know her! According to seniority, I am Tang Yuehua's biological uncle!"
"Her mother is my biological younger sister! When Yuehua was little, I even watched her grow up!"
"Uncle?"
Hearing this, Luo Nan raised his eyebrows slightly. He carefully sized up the scrawny, weathered old man in his hand.
