Chapter 1016 – The Conspiracy of the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch
In the clouds, Qin Nan quickly glanced backward and saw several powerful auras das.h.i.+ng into the sky from the Worriless Boat. His eyelids jumped rapidly, urging him to increase his speed.
He had no choice but to flee under the circ.u.mstances.
“Senior, why do I feel like something isn’t right.” Qin Nan was suddenly aware of something.
Why was the third piece of the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch’s treasure in the Nightless Half-Martial G.o.d’s hand?
And why was the battle in the darkness somehow in his favor?
Furthermore, why would the Nightless Half-Martial G.o.d offer the treasure of the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch as part of the reward?
“Wow, you aren’t as stupid as you look.” The Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch said scornfully, “I’m the one that asked Nightless to open his succession and include my treasure in the rewards.”
“You did that?” Qin Nan was stunned.
“Of course, aren’t you planning to shatter the South-Heaven Gate? Nightless is trying to get his revenge from the South-Heaven Sacred Ground too, and I do like his character, so I asked him to tag along. He didn’t agree that you were capable enough, so he has been observing you from the moment he activated the Half-G.o.d Tomb.” The Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch said.
“How did you know…” Qin Nan was about to ask when he recalled that the right arm of the Divine G.o.d of Battle had once asked the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch to forge the Heaven-Shattering Saber, thus it was possible that the right arm of the Divine G.o.d of Battle had told him at that time.
“Then why did you leave the treasure and let the others know about its existence?” Qin Nan was left speechless.
If the other geniuses were unaware of it, the elders would not go crazy over it either.
Furthermore, if Qin Nan were to survive the current situation, it would shock the entire Middle Continent, thus causing everyone to hunt him down.
“Are you scared?” The Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch asked.
“Scared?” Qin Nan was startled, before he let out a calm smile, “Even if it meant offending the entire Middle Continent, I’m afraid I still don"t know what being scared feels like.”
“Yo, very smug, huh?” The Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch smilingly said, “But I like your style.”
Qin Nan remained silent. He was aware of something after learning the truth about the situation.
There must be a reason why the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch was pa.s.sionate about recruiting the Nightless Half-Martial G.o.d and purposely revealed his treasure.
Although the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch seemed like a lunatic on the surface, Qin Nan would not believe that he had been helping him just because of his admiration toward him. There must be something else behind the scene.
Qin Nan shook his head to prevent himself from overthinking it. It did not matter what the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch, the Martial Serendipity Pavilion, and the Dragon Emperor Clan were thinking, as he would know the truth once he was strong enough.
“Mm?” Qin Nan turned around and saw a figure standing in front of the elders.
The person turned out to be Hua Lie.
“What is he doing?”
Qin Nan glanced backward as he continued to fly forward.
…Meanwhile, on the Worriless Boat…
Following the yell, the elders were taken by surprise, before they glanced ahead and saw Hua Lie floating in the air.
“Hua Lie, what do you mean by this?” The elder of the Sword Sect snapped.
“Stand aside, or else don’t blame us for showing no mercy!” The elder of the Misty Immortal Sect said coldly.
“Hehe, I know you are all the highly respected authorities of the Middle Continent. According to the deal, we will not trouble the person who has retrieved the succession.” Hua Lie spoke with a cold grin while transmitting his voice, “Aren’t you being ridiculous that you’re trying to go against your own words to hunt the first-ranked inner disciple of our Dragon Emperor Clan?”
“Father, what are you…” Hua Dichen was dumbfounded, as he never expected Hua Lie would speak for Qin Nan.
“Chen’Er, you should leave now and report back to the Monarch Beasts.” Hua Lie transmitted his voice, and let out a sigh after a brief pause, “Either way, Qin Nan is still part of the Dragon Emperor Clan. We can fight among each other internally, but there’s no way I’ll let the outsiders bully our Dragon Emperor Clan!”
Hua Dichen was thunderstruck hearing this.
As for the elders and the disciples…
“You have three breaths’ time to get out of my sight!” The elder of the Sword Sect ignored the warning.
“Funny, are you really being serious?” The eyes of the genius of the G.o.d Ranking and the three Martial Monarchs’ sons were filled with disdain. The latter appeared to be excited, as they had just notified their fathers.
“Three breaths!”
“Hua Lie, do you really think you can stop us all on your own?”
The elders, Dao Qianzhong, and the rest of the geniuses snapped.
Under the crowd’s pressure, Hua Lie’s face became pale, but without hesitation, he transformed into his giant beast form and uttered a roar.
“How stubborn!” Dao Qianzhong’s gaze turned cold.
BANG!
The elders struck at the same time, causing their attacks to transform into a small mountain, suppressing Hua Lie onto the surface of the ocean instantly. Following this, they all dashed forward at a shocking speed.
They had no intention of murdering Hua Lie. After all, he was still the First Elder of the Dragon Emperor Clan!
“d.a.m.n it.” Hua Lie was furious seeing the leaving crowd, who spat out a mouthful of blood as he recalled something with a gloomy look.
How would he not feel gloomy after being injured for that a.s.shole Qin Nan’s sake?
“Here they come!”
Qin Nan’s heart sank as he detected the murderous intent approaching from behind.
The elders of the various factions had reached the peak Martial Progenitor Realm. Some of them had even achieved the Undefeatable or Law-Defying Martial Progenitor Realm, thus their speed completely outmatched Qin Nan’s.
At this rate, it would only be a matter of time until they caught up to him.
“Master, we’ll boost you!” At that instant, Skeletal Xiao Hong’s voice appeared. Before Qin Nan could speak, a tall green hat appeared on Qin Nan’s head.
Qin Nan’s speed instantly skyrocketed, leaving a trail of green light as he dashed across the sky.
“This green hat can be used this way too?” Qin Nan was startled, before he yelled, “You three, tell me which direction is the best for us, quick!”
“Le..left!” The two hounds blurted out, “Master, it’s the direction to the Middle Sector City.”
“Middle Sector City?”
Qin Nan’s eyes flickered as he headed straight toward the Middle Sector City without hesitation.
Meanwhile, behind Qin Nan…
The elders and geniuses were stunned seeing Qin Nan’s increasing pace. They never thought he would be able to travel at such speed. No wonder he was able to secure the succession.
“Old Jian, why are you still keeping your boat?”
“Hehe, Elder w.a.n.g Long, don’t you also have a G.o.dly Journeying Talisman too?”
The elders took turns to speak, as many among them hesitated before taking out their treasures to boost their speed.
The chase continued.
They had pa.s.sed several mountains and cities.
As the group of elders and geniuses pa.s.sed by some of the places, countless rogue cultivators were utterly astounded upon seeing so many experts in the same group.
“Father has responded!” Huo Wulong’s eyes flickered all of a sudden, alerting the other two Martial Monarchs’ sons. Even the genius of the G.o.d Ranking’s eyes glistened.
