Chapter 68 Narrow path of enmity   "Xiang Nan, wait a moment. Let's see if we can find a more reliable solution." City Lord Hong Zhen refused to give up and immediately went to find the messengers of the six great sects for a meeting.

Of course, Hong Zhen was unwilling to give up. Before this, his attitude had always been to protect Xiang Nan, and he had always stood on the same side as Xiang Nan.

It was precisely because he valued Xiang Nan's potential! He had to protect Xiang Nan even if he wanted to offend the other clans. It could also be seen as placing his biggest bet on Xiang Nan alone.

"Envoys." Hong Zhen looked at the elders of the major sects seriously and said in a serious tone, "Is there really no room for recovery? Can we open the light screen and let the contestants enter again?"

"It's impossible." Wang Xiaoyun was the first to shake his head and refuse. He said, "The six profound weapons of our six sects have already poured all their spiritual energy into it. If we remove the protective barrier now, the six profound weapons will also be in a state of spiritual energy deficit."

Elder Menyue said thoughtfully, "Nephew Wang is right. If the protective barrier is removed this time, it will take at least three to five days for the barrier to condense again."

Wang Xiaoyun said, "We can't disrupt the whole plan for Xiang Nan alone."

The City Lord thought for a moment and said, "Even so, can we send an elder into the Demon Forest to bring Xiang Nan out? Then we can throw him into another path."

"I'm afraid that won't be possible." Wang Xiaoyun shook his head, "During the existence of the protective barrier, no one can cross the barrier, including us sect elders."

Hearing this, Hong Zhen was already somewhat desperate. He looked up at the heavens and felt endless sorrow in his heart.

There was an old saying that Mu Xiu was destroyed by Lin Feng. Could it be that this was the fate that Xiang Nan had to endure?

Bluestone Town, the Xiang manor.

In the meeting hall, all the clansmen of the Xiang manor were present.

At the top was the Xiang Clan's Grand Elder. At this moment, the Grand Elder looked around and finally his gaze landed on Xiang Shaohua. "Is Zhan Xiong still in seclusion?"

Xiang Shaohua nodded, "Father is in seclusion. He intends to break through to the Heaven Origin Realm. I'm afraid he won't come out until he breaks through."

The Great Elder nodded and looked at the other elders and clan stewards, asking, "Has all business been temporarily suspended?"

Third Elder replied on behalf of everyone, "Big Brother, all business has been suspended, and the shops are temporarily closed."

"Yes." The Great Elder nodded, "Gather all the members of the clan who have the ability to fight, and let them wait in formation!"

"By now, the city selection should have begun. If little Nan, Zhong Hua, and the others fail to enter the sect, Wang, Li, Mo, and Cai Clans will definitely come and destroy our Xiang Clan."

"We need to prepare for the worst. This time, we will live and die with the Xiang Clan!"

The expressions of the Xiang Family clansmen were resolute as they raised their weapons and shouted in unison, "Live or die with the Xiang Family!"

Dark clouds seemed to have enveloped this troubled clan. Survival or extinction was only a single battle.

Black Sharp Demonic Forest.

Hong Zhencheng exchanged his anger and grief for a long sigh. He said to Xiang Nan below, "Xiang Nan, I've wronged you. It's because we didn't plan properly."

"You … Sigh, you should just stay where you are and wait for the city selection to end. There's no need to worry about burning firewood."

All the spectators who watched the city selection contest had different expressions. Some sighed for Xiang Nan, while others gloated at his misfortune.

Below, Xiang Nan looked up at the flying ship and said, "I refuse."

"Huh?" Everyone was stunned.

Hong Zhen said, "There's nothing we can do about it. We've already thought of all the possibilities. There's really no way we can change another channel for you."

Xiang Nan smiled and shook his head, "You understand wrongly. I mean, I refused to stay where I was and waited. Instead, I chose to continue forward."

"What?" The flying ship exploded.

That was the Origin Returning Realm passageway! All of them were Origin Returning Realm demonic beasts! Wasn't it suicidal for a Xiantian sixth layer martial artist in Xiang Nan to venture into the Origin Realm?

"Xiang Nan!" The City Lord's eyes were red as he shouted, "Now is not the time to act emotionally!"

Xiang Nan smiled and said, "Thank you, City Lord, for your kindness, but I have made up my mind."

At this point, Xiang Nan thought for a moment, then knelt down on one knee towards the flying ship and cupped his fists. "Xiang Nan's fate is hard to predict. If this is the last time Xiang Nan has a conversation with the City Lord, there's something Xiang Nan wants to say in his heart."

"Thank you, City Lord, for taking care of Xiang Nan. If Xiang Nan dies, then Xiang Nan will repay the City Lord's kindness in the next life! I will never forget it."

With that, Xiang Nan bit the hilt of the saber and tore off a long strip of cloth from his body, tightly wrapping his right hand around the hilt of the saber!

This was a sign that he had burned the boat and sank the boat, and it also represented Xiang Nan's determination! He would rather die than let go of the saber in his hand!

Hearing Xiang Nan's words, Hong Zhen's eyes couldn't help but turn red. He clenched his fists tightly and thought to himself, Xiang Nan, if you were born decades earlier, then the two of us would definitely be intimate brothers!

Seeing Xiang Nan's decisive departure, the messengers of the sects were all moved.

Elder Menyue nodded and sighed at Xiang Nan's back, "This is a hero who attaches great importance to love and righteousness."

Black Sharp Yao Sen, 300th Origin Returning Passage.

Xiang Nan held the huge saber in his hand, and his figure moved like a rabbit, jumping around in the complicated forest.

His eyes flickered with lightning, and he could clearly see the situation of the Demonic Qi Division. There was also the little bird circling in the sky, sending out a warning signal for Xiang Nan at any time.

The initial point of the passageway was relatively narrow, and the deeper it went, the wider it became. It was like a narrow-mouthed bottle.

By the time Xiang Nan advanced three to five miles, the surroundings were already exceptionally open. With his eyes, he could no longer see the light walls on both sides.

Suddenly, a sharp cry came from the little bird circling in the sky.

"Coming!"

Xiang Nan, who was speeding forward, instantly stopped. He waved his long black-scaled saber horizontally in front of him, and his sharp eyes stared out through the edge of the saber.

The dense bushes in front of him shook a few times, and a huge monster slowly walked out.

"My God! It's actually that thing!" The flying ship cried out in alarm.

The first Origin Returning Demonic Beast Xiang Nan encountered was his "old opponent", Feng Niu!

Unfortunately, the wind bull that Xiang Nan encountered was the same one that he had encountered last time, Gui Yuan Yi Layer.

Hong Zhen was shocked, "Xiang Nan, although this demonic beast doesn't understand martial arts and techniques and has an Origin Returning Realm body, its realm is too different from yours. Don't fight it head-on, just go around it."

Xiang Nan did not have such a plan. From the anger in Feng Niu's eyes, it was not difficult to tell that even if he wanted to take a detour, this Feng Niu would not let him go.

When enemies met, their eyes were especially red. The wind bull's eyes were incomparably red, and the tiny blood vessels in its eyes were about to explode.

"Moo!"

Following the roar of the wind bull, its enormous body turned into a shadow and rushed towards Xiang Nan.
