Xiang Nan was certain that Xue Lu was mentally controlled.
A person's eyes couldn't lie. When Xue Lu saw all the men, women, and children being slaughtered, she could still keep a smile on her face. There wasn't the slightest hint of avoidance or unbearability in her eyes.
Even if a person was truly determined to begin to deteriorate, she would still have to go through a transitional stage in the early days of becoming a bad person. It was impossible for her to ignore her life to such an extent all of a sudden.
Xiang Nan stopped talking.
He didn't know if the person who used mental control on Jiang Xuelu was monitoring Jiang Xuelu 24 hours a day. If he was talking to Jiang Xuelu, it would be the same person who was monitoring Jiang Xuelu, and his identity would be exposed.
That caused Xue Lu to regain her ice-cold state, and she only gave Xiang Nan a faint glance.
She was still resisting in the depths of her heart, announcing Xiang Nan's identity.
Otherwise, she would have already started shouting.
"Let's go." Jiang Xuelu waved her hand and a flying demonic beast descended from the sky.
She stuffed Xiang Nan back into the prison cart, while she flew away on a flying demonic beast. The black-clothed people in the disguise of the Profound Sky Sect transported a large number of prison carts, slowly moving into the distance.
At the same time, Xiang Nan also observed another situation that he did not know before.
This time, the Sky Profound Sect did not only plunder children, but also young women.
These women were generally between the ages of sixteen and twenty-six, and they were healthy and youthful.
At first, Xiang Nan did not know why the Profound Sky Sect had plundered these women, because these women generally did not have a martial arts realm.
However, when Xiang Nan Lian thought of the words Heavenly Devil Cult, he immediately understood!
The Heavenly Demon Church had captured some young men and women in order to give birth to children, and then nurture them from infancy into emotionless cold-blooded animals.
In that case, the Heavenly Profound Sect's goal was obvious. They wanted to bring these women back and let the disciples of the sect combine with these women, leaving behind the babies.
A martial artist's descendant had a high chance of becoming a martial artist.
Xiang Nan's face was covered in a layer of shadow.
He hadn't expected that the Profound Sky Sect had already accomplished this.
Along the way, wherever the prison carriage passed, the Heavenly Profound Sect burned down and looted everything.
Even pedestrians on the official road would be caught and searched. As long as there were children, they would not let go.
Xiang Nan looked at the scenery outside with no expression on his face.
The little bird in his arms was still asleep. He didn't know when this fellow would wake up, and what would happen to it.
The Sky Profound Sect's team was not in a hurry to make their way. They had to search all the way, and every village they passed through had to be searched.
Jiang Xuelu could see people with martial arts talent in the distance from an extremely distant place.
Ordinary Heavenly Profound Sect martial artists might not have such a powerful ability, but they could sense it. As long as they grabbed a child and placed their hands on the child's forehead to carefully sense it, they would know if they had talent.
That night, the prison cart had already entered the mountains and was traveling along the mountain path.
The cries of children could be heard from all the carriages. At this time, Sky Profound Sect martial practitioners held long whips and whipped at the crying children.
The child was beaten up, so he naturally cried even harder.
Those Heavenly Profound Sect martial practitioners simply continued to fight and whip until they knocked the children unconscious.
Seeing those effective and innocent children being treated in such a cruel and inhumane manner, Xiang Nan had never been so angry in his life as he was today.
People were furious to the extreme, but they were extremely indifferent.
Xiang Nan's eyes were filled with killing intent.
The night was getting deeper and deeper. With Xiang Nan's current physical condition, it was difficult for him to endure the sleepiness. Gradually, he leaned against the railing and fell asleep.
In the blur, he found himself in a dream world.
In the Dream World, that mysterious woman appeared again!
The two of them only met again after a long time, and they naturally had endless longing for each other.
However, Xiang Nan remembered his current situation and hurriedly asked the mysterious woman for help.
"A paradox of becoming smaller?" The mysterious woman looked at Xiang Nan curiously, "Has your real body become smaller?"
"Yes," Xiang Nan frowned.
The woman thought for a moment and said, "The prerequisites for this kind of magical technique are very strict. The person who was cast must be willing to accept it. Only then can the spellcaster's magical technique succeed."
"Otherwise, this kind of paradox would be invincible. No matter what kind of enemy you encounter, just turn the enemy into a child."
"I can probably guess all of this, but I don't know why I can't recover myself," Xiang Nan said.
The woman thought for a moment, then suddenly sighed and said, "You really are in big trouble this time."
Xiang Nan's heart skipped a beat as he said in a deep voice, "Just tell me how bad the situation is. I'm mentally prepared."
The woman said, "This kind of paradox can rejuvenate people. In fact, it is a process that pushes one's life back."
"What it refers to is the life force fluctuation of the person being cast. It is an innate characteristic."
"If I remember correctly, you were not Xiang Nan until you were sixteen."
Xiang Nan's head buzzed. He was not stupid. Just by mentioning such a keyword, he immediately understood the cause and effect.
"It's broken." Xiang Nan felt powerless all over and said, "This time, I really made a fool of myself."
The woman nodded and said, "When you were nine years old, your body was the real Xiang Nan, not you, Bai Muchen. Therefore, when you retreated to nine years old, that old ghost's spell was instantly disrupted."
"The real Xiang Nan is actually dead, isn't he?"
"This is the judgment of life force fluctuations. Furthermore, there is also the judgment of innate characteristics."
"The real Xiang Nan didn't awaken his Lightning Meridian talent until he was sixteen years old when he was invaded by you."
"In other words, other people's talent in martial arts has been determined since birth, while yours was determined after the age of sixteen."
"But you're nine years old now, so you don't have a Divine Grade Lightning Meridian Innate! However, all the martial skills you've learned are based on your Lightning Meridian Innate."
"Therefore, at this moment, you can't use any martial techniques."
"Then what should we do?" Xiang Nan was anxious, "Do I have to live another seven years before I can recover?"
"This kind of paradox shouldn't be indefinite, right? There will definitely be a day when it fails."
The mysterious woman said, "Of course it will fail. Normally speaking, the duration of a paradox technique is related to the spellcaster's cultivation. If that old ghost is at the fifth level of Fortune, then the spell on your body will probably recover in a month."
"However, his strange technique is already messed up in your body. Not to mention you and me, even he himself might not be able to tell."
