Over the next few days, Li Nan and the others stayed temporarily in the Divine Moon Pavilion.
Li Nan had disappeared from this world for three years out of thin air, and now that he had returned, the group naturally had endless things to say.
It had been a few days later.
Just as they were chatting in their room.
“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”
An amazingly loud sound rang out abruptly.
The crowd in the room was instantly shocked by the suddenness of the event.
“This …… this shouldn’t be ……”
Zhang Zhen seemed to have thought of something.
“The Heavenly Gate! Another Heavenly Gate has broken open!”
Wang Yumeng said directly.
As soon as Wang Yumeng said this, everyone in the room was instantly quiet, all listening carefully to the sound of the loud noise.
They all knew very well what each loud sound meant to them.
It meant that they were one step closer to the awakening of the devil, to the destruction of the world!
After a long time, everything finally came to a halt as the last loud sound rang out.
“Twenty sounds!”
Xiang Xu said with a gloomy expression.
As this number was uttered, everyone fell silent.
Twenty loud noises, that meant that twenty Heavenly Gates had opened!
The total number of Heavenly Gates that had been opened before was already seventy, and now, with the addition of these twenty Heavenly Gates, there were a total of ninety Heavenly Gates that had been opened!
Now, only the last eighteen Heavenly Gates remain to be opened!
The situation was so dire that it would be an exaggeration to say that the whole world was one step away from the end of time.
A moment later, Li Nan finally spoke, “It seems that I should also return to the secular world!”
Naturally, Li Nan wanted to stay here and catch up with these brothers and friends of his, but the situation was getting worse and worse, and he felt that he had to do something to stop this before he could.
“Brother Nan, we’ll go back with you!”
Zhang Zhen said.
“That’s right, I’m going too!”
Xiang Xu also stepped forward.
Not only them, but also Wang Yumeng Polina and those Gods, all wished to follow Li Nan along.
Li Nan, however, refused.
“I know what you are thinking, but we all have more important things to do at the moment. Before the matter of the Shura Mother Immortal is resolved, all of us, we must do our own thing and prepare for what is to come!”
Li Nan said very seriously.
The faces of the crowd all looked extremely grave.
They all knew very well that Li Nan’s words were completely correct, the whole world was now on the brink of life and death, and martial artists like them, who were armed with cultivation, had to carry their due responsibilities.
In the end, Li Nan set off on his journey back to the secular world alone.
Xiang Xu, on the other hand, continued to stay in the Divine Moon Pavilion to cultivate.
Previously, Xiang Xu’s cultivation was all about avenging Li Nan, but from now on, his cultivation would be for the purpose of organising the Shura Mother Immortal!
Wang Yumeng Zhang Zhen and the others, on the other hand, were going to return to Flying Shark Island.
This time, their training had ended.
And the greatest gain they had made during this adventure was only the duel with those holy land guards in that Shoujun Holy Land.
During that duel, both of their potentials were greatly stimulated, and both of their cultivation levels, as a result, had improved.
As for Paulina and those gods, they originally wanted to follow around Li Nan, but were rejected by him.
In the end, the gods decided to return to the secular world on Mount Olympus to recuperate and wait for the God King’s call.
After bidding farewell to everyone, Li Nan went straight back to the secular world.
However, as soon as he returned to the secular world, his mobile phone kept ringing, all with the sound of missed alerts.
Li Nan took out his mobile phone and saw that all these calls were from Xue Ting!
Li Nan couldn’t help but frown.
He knew very well that Xue Ting would never call him easily if he didn’t have to.
Now since the other party had called so many times, it meant that there must be something extremely important.
Without any hesitation, Li Nan hurriedly dialled Xue Ting’s number.
The call was quickly answered.
“Young Master Nan, you have finally called back!”
Xue Ting’s voice seemed a little eager.
“What’s wrong Xue Ting, is there something wrong?”
Li Nan asked.
Xue Ting hurriedly said, “Young Master Nan, something has happened at the family side!”
Li Nan’s brow couldn’t help but wrinkle as he hurriedly asked, “What’s going on?”
“It’s Chen Lingjun! Chen Lingjun wanted to use the family’s security fund and was rejected by Elder Chen, but now he is still unwilling to give up and has already brought people from the Shura Palace to the Chen family to cause trouble!”
Xue Ting said in a worried voice.
“Security fund?!”
Hearing this word, a surge of anger rose in Li Nan’s heart.
He had once been in the Chen family, so he naturally knew very well what this security fund actually meant.
Although the Chen Family was a worldly family with a huge family fortune, it had almost reached an incalculable level!
However, there was a rule that had always existed in the Chen family, a rule that had been passed down from the Chen family’s ancestors.
That is, no matter how large the family’s fortune is in the future, a quarter of the entire family fortune must be set aside as the family’s security fund!
The purpose of doing so was to ensure the stability and continued prosperity of the entire Chen Family.
In the view of the Chen family’s ancestors, no matter what major events the Chen family would encounter in the future, as long as this safety fund existed, there would be a chance to turn the tide again!
However, the ancestors of the Chen family also had a rule that the safety fund was the last foundation of the Chen family and was not to be used easily until it was absolutely necessary!
Even if it was to be used, it would have to be approved by more than half of the Chen family.
Otherwise, this security fund would never be allowed to be used, and even the Chen family did not have the right to do so!
Li Nan had never expected that Chen Lingjun would now start playing with the idea of this security fund!
And he had to use it over his grandfather’s objection!
This made Li Nan’s heart rise in anger!
“This is outrageous!”
Li Nan shouted coldly.
When Xue Ting on the other end of the phone heard these words, she could not help but sigh.
Only to hear Xue Ting continue, “As far as I know, Chen Lingjun has already spent an unimaginable amount of money in order to help the Shura Palace implement that huge Tongtian Tower plan. Moreover, ever since Chen Lingjun took over the Chen Family, the entire Chen Family’s business operations have almost completely come to a halt, and the entire Chen Family has been dragged into the abyss of the Tong Tian Tower plan by Chen Lingjun.”
“Coupled with negligent management, many members of the Chen family only cared about enriching themselves and did not care about the life and death of the Chen family, so it can be said that the Chen family has almost been completely hollowed out! Under such circumstances, Chen Lingjun still only wants to continue implementing that Tongtian Tower plan, and the Chen Family has no money left, which should be the reason why Chen Lingjun wants to forcefully use that security fund!”
Speaking at the end, Xue Ting also looked rather helpless.
No matter what, the Chen family had been kind to Xue Ting.
Now, Xue Ting was watching the huge Chen Family being eaten away bit by bit because of Chen Lingjun, to the point where it was almost completely cut off from its foundation.
In Xue Ting’s heart, she also sighed quite a bit.
The extra-worldly and powerful Chen family!
The once number one family in the world, the Chen Family!
Has it really been completely destroyed like this?
After hearing Xue Ting’s account, Li Nan’s heart was also very complicated.
He had never dreamed that such a huge Chen family would have declined to such a state in just three years’ time!
Come to think of it, back then, Xiao Chenxing had told Li Nan that the amount of money required for that entire Heavenly Tower project was extremely huge, at least trillions of dollars!
In the entire secular world, only a top-tier family like the Chen Family could support such a huge and costly project without any return!
Back then, Chen Lingjun had snatched the position of the Chen Family heir away from Li Nan’s hands.
If he had been able to lead the Chen family onto a more glorious and broad path, Li Nan would have been able to accept it, but today, it seems that Chen Lingjun is just using the Chen family as a tool for him to raise money!
He had no affection for the entire Chen family and did not care about the decline of the Chen family at all!
Such an attitude made Li Nan’s heart incomparably angry!
Li Nan would never agree to allow the Chen Family to be severed at the hands of such a despicable villain!
“This Chen Lingjun, simply deserves to die!!!”
Li Nan roared.
Through the phone, Xue Ting on the other end could already feel the chill coming from Li Nan’s side.
“Young Master Nan, in fact, I shouldn’t have called you on this phone today, but now, there is really nothing else I can do, and I think that you have the right to know this!”
Xue Ting said with a sigh.
Li Nan nodded, “Thank you for telling me all this, don’t worry, I will think of something!”
“This ……”
Xue Ting was a little stunned.
In fact, Xue Ting had just wanted to tell this news to Li Nan, and had not thought of asking Li Nan to intervene in this matter.
This was because in Xue Ting’s view, Chen Lingjun and the Shura Palace behind him were both simply too powerful, and even if his own Young Master Nan wanted to stop them, it would not be that easy, which was why Xue Ting had previously hesitated to tell these news to Li Nan.
And now, hearing Li Nan say that he wanted to find a way to solve the Chen family’s matter first, it immediately made Xue Ting’s heart a little nervous.
“Young Master Nan, what are you planning to do?”
Xue Ting asked with some worry.
However, Li Nan snorted coldly and said with a smile, “What else can I do, of course I want to get the Chen family back on the right track! It’s getting late, and the time has come to return what they took from me!!!”
