Chapter 2228: Chapter 2314: Eavesdropping on Secrets

This overwhelming force was incredibly powerful. The moment it descended, everyone except Su Qingqing and Chen Nan felt their breath catch.

However, they all had discussed this beforehand, planning to see what Tie Venerable and Taotie Venerable were really up to. As soon as this Tie Venerable appeared, everyone instantly put on a show of resisting with all their might, yet still appeared pale from the pressure.

They were all masters of disguise.

Upon reaching the Supreme Realm, every part of their bodies could achieve intricacy. Even faking the scene of coughing up blood or a deviation would be very easy. This was nothing more than child’s play to them now.

"Are they really Heavenly Position Strong People?" Chen Nan furrowed his brow. He was somewhat surprised by the result as he initially thought Tie Venerable and Taotie Venerable’s strength would be nothing more than Great Star Position Kings.

"Welcome Tie Venerable’s return from seclusion." The humans and demons gazed at Tie Venerable with envy.

"Congratulations, Senior Brother, on advancing your power."

Taotie Venerable stepped forward with a bow, extremely thrilled, and even signaled for Chen Nan and others to step forward.

At this moment, Tie Venerable’s body quickly shrank back to normal human size.

The aura he just emitted was quickly gone without a trace, leaving no sense of the pressure of a Heavenly Position expert.

Chen Nan secretly wanted to laugh. Tie Venerable came on fiercely, but his show-off technique was indeed far from impressive. Before even starting the conversation, he had already withdrawn his momentum. Compared to Yun Zhongzi and the likes of Shangguan Ao, he was far inferior. Others haven’t even felt your power closely, how could they be sincerely convinced?

The Tie Venerable saw Chen Nan’s brow slightly wrinkle, then instantly relax, revealing a joyful smile on his face. He grabbed Chen Nan’s hands and shook them excitedly, "This old man has always loved befriending youthful geniuses. It’s really not easy for a lad as young as you to reach such a realm. Could it be you come from a prestigious lineage?"

"Senior’s strength is so immense, it makes our admiration flow endlessly like the surging waters of the Yellow River." Chen Nan laughed heartily.

"Senior brother, I understand cherishing talents, but we just met. How about we sit down, eat, and chat, don’t you think?"

As soon as Taotie Venerable spoke, Tie Venerable immediately responded.

"Junior brother is right. Come, I just happen to have some private stash that I’ve been saving. Let’s share it with our fellow Daoists."

As he spoke, he reached into the void and grabbed, a Spirit Grass filled with celestial aura appeared in everyone’s sight: "This is the ancient Spirit Grass Chaos Sky Grass, which greatly increases the probability of promoting to the Heavenly Position when used with Spiritual Liquid."

Chen Nan looked at this Spirit Grass with some surprise. He had heard of this Chaos Sky Grass before. It was indeed an important Spirit Grass used by ancient strong individuals during Alchemy, and it did indeed increase the chance of promoting to the Heavenly Position, though such chances were naturally small.

That Tie Venerable actually had this Spirit Grass and was willing to take it out. He was indeed generous at heart.

However, Chen Nan also noticed a detail. Since arriving at this ancient cave mansion, it was always Taotie Venerable being overly generous. Everything seemed to be arranged by him, with everyone else, including Triangular Eyes, merely executing.

Now that Tie Venerable came out, it was still the same. Logically, if everyone were friends on equal footing, one would theoretically bring out some of their own treasures to such a gathering. Yet, looking at those humans and demons whose faces were showing a sickly pallor, it was evident they had nothing good on hand.

Nevertheless, Tie Venerable has exited seclusion, and there is a feast. Although Chen Nan is not pleased with Tie Venerable’s demeanor, he is indeed interested in the food.

Especially with these Spirit Foods, which can be directly converted into Essence Qi, is also one of the methods of understanding Heaven and Earth.

For the next hour, there was feasting and drinking; those human and demon cultivators also ate to their heart’s content this time.

After everyone’s stomachs were full, Triangular Eyes wanted to chat with Chen Nan again but was stopped by Tie Venerable with a single glance.

By the time everyone dispersed, it was already late into the night.

When Chen Nan and the others returned to their quarters, Su Dieyi could no longer hold back.

"Chen Nan, I think this group of people has a big problem. How about we just make things clear, and if they dare turn hostile, we’ll just kill them all."

She never understood how to pretend to work with others against the hostility, and although the food was good, it really got to her.

"What’s the hurry? I still haven’t figured out what they’re up to. Besides, with someone taking care of food and drink, isn’t it perfect for us to rest for a few days? Miss Su, you really need to change your aggressive temperament."

Chen Nan looked at Su Dieyi and said critically.

He was actually quite intrigued by the appearance under Su Dieyi’s golden mask, though he had the desire but not the courage. At most, he only took a few glances each time. That golden mask seemed to be the Holy Object of the Golden Butterfly Clan and was likely more difficult to scheme around than the Fengtian Talisman.

Su Dieyi snorted without saying a word.

"Tie Venerable timed his exit just as we arrived, and his retreat location wasn’t even in his Heavenly Level Cultivation Room. I find that suspicious." Zhao Han said after a moment of thought.

"Everything around here feels strange. Even Tie Venerable’s Heavenly Position Realm seems off to me."

Hearing Zhao Han’s words, Su Qingqing also nodded, "His momentum and pressure are adequate, but he doesn’t have that transcendent aura like Yun Zhongzi and others. Once someone cultivates to the Heavenly Position, soaring between Heaven and Earth, penetrating the sky through the earth, it shouldn’t be like this."

"What do you think, junior sister?" Chen Nan asked Ye Yiyi.

"If senior brother is planning to make a move, I’ll help. This ancient cave mansion is quite nice. It suits us for some rest and recuperation."

Just as Ye Yiyi finished speaking, the Black Feathered Chicken couldn’t hold back and charged forward, "Chen Nan, I have a marvelous plan that guarantees we’ll know what they are up to."

The Black Feathered Chicken volunteered, causing Chen Nan to smile. The Black Feathered Chicken couldn’t restrain itself any longer: "At tonight’s feast, that Taotie Venerable and Tie Venerable had nonchalant expressions, clearly distressed over their Spirit Food and Jade Liquid. Moreover, after the banquet, they deliberately gave each of those humans and demons a few King-grade Spirit Stones in front of us as a reward, which was clearly just for show."

"As the saying goes, the more you lack, the more you show off. I think these two venerables, Taotie and Tie, are exactly that kind of people."

The Black Feathered Chicken spoke confidently.

"I have a similar feeling. So, what should we do?" Chen Nan looked at the Black Feathered Chicken.

"Doesn’t Miss Su have the Fengtian Talisman? As long as we don’t encounter a large number of Heavenly Position experts, this Heavenly Dao Treasure won’t be discovered. Moreover, that Tie Venerable looks like a phony. We can hide in the Fengtian Talisman to eavesdrop, and we might gain something."

The Black Feathered Chicken was smug, and upon hearing this, Su Dieyi let out a string of bell-like laughter, "Dead chicken, Chen Nan, keep dreaming. This lady wouldn’t lend you guys the Fengtian Talisman. Just go have your dreams in broad daylight."

"Then there’s no other way." Chen Nan seemed to have anticipated this.

With a wave toward the Black Feathered Chicken, he went straight into meditation cultivation, leaving Chicken Lord completely stunned.

Just as Chen Nan and others feigned sleepiness, Su Dieyi’s figure gradually faded, slowly disappearing from sight.
