Chapter 1759 - An Invitation to a Duel
“Are they heading inside?” the Blood-Eye Human Immortal asked.
“I think so, we should go closer too, but let’s not make any move yet. Zhu Zihuang, Gu Julin, and the others had been here for some time. There must be a reason why they haven’t gone into the palace,” the Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor said.
“Mm.”
Qin Nan nodded and went forward.
Zhu Zihuang, Gu Julin, and the rest of the cultivators s.h.i.+fted their attention to Immortal Emperor Jiangjue and the Peerless Rulers. However, Zhu Zihuang would occasionally look at Qin Nan with glittering eyes.
Didn’t his younger brother mentioned that Qin Nan had an extraordinary immortal saber?
“Let’s attack together!”
Immortal Emperor Jiangjue and the others quickly moved to the entrance of the palace. The former groaned while the others unleashed tremendous auras. Dao glows flickered as they executed Dao Arts to attack the entrance.
According to the information that Zhu Zihuang and the others had gathered, the huge palace was the only option they had.
The three Heaven Immortals had died because they had set their eyes on the statues and tried to claim them. They paid their lives for their foolish actions, and even dragged the others with them.
BANG!
A huge blast echoed in the surroundings…
Strong gusts of wind swept in all directions.
Every Peerless Ruler had contributed in the attempt by using their strongest move. The combined force was utterly terrifying. Even a half-Nine Heavens Supreme would not dare to face it directly.
However, the entrance only shook vigorously for a while. It did not even leave a single crack on it.
“Even the Immortal Emperors could not break it?”
“What exactly is this Glaze Ancient Palace?”
Zhu Zihuang, Gu Julin, and the cultivators were shocked.
They had tried a few times before too, yet they never knew the Glaze Ancient Palace would have such an outstanding defense apart from the formidable pure immortal intent in it.
“Oh my, I bet we’ll need at least thirty Peerless Rulers to break the entrance, and they still have to rely on unusual Dao Weapons too,” the Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor smacked his lips.
“Oh?”
Qin Nan’s eyes flickered with astonishment.
If the Glaze Ancient Palace was only the core of an Unclaimed Blessed Immortal Land, it would not have such an astonis.h.i.+ng defense.
In addition to the strange things that happened before, Qin Nan was now confident about something.
The Eight-Eyed Yin and Yang Flower and the Immortal Repelling Tree were surely inside the palace!
“Fellow cultivators, as you’ve seen, we’ll need either a Nine Heavens Supreme or more than thirty Peerless Rulers to break the entrance.”
Immortal Emperor Jiangjue did not seem disappointed. His eyes flickered with astonishment instead as he spoke, “We’ve all seen how unusual and mysterious the palace is. The loot inside is clearly extraordinary too. Should we ask our respective factions for more help?”
He did not transmit the words but say it out loud instead.
Qin Nan and his crew were not idiots. If these people were not leaving, it obviously meant they could ask for more backup.
“I agree with it.”
“Sure, I can’t wait to see what’s inside the palace!”
The old monk and the other Peerless Rulers nodded after a slight ponder.
Considering how unusual the Blessed Immortal Land was, even though their factions would not send a Nine Heavens Supreme over, they could easily send more Peerless Rulers to them.
“Hehe, how useless are these people? I was going to do it before, but since they have come up with some sort of a plan. I’ll keep a low profile instead.”
Xiu Shenliang wore a disdainful grin.
“Low profile my a.s.s, are you seriously mocking them still when you’re trying to be the oriole here? Don’t you even think how we are going to survive if there are thirty Peerless Rulers here?”
The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor rolled his eyes.
“That being said, if violence isn’t allowed here, perhaps the same restrictions apply to the palace. Anyway, fortune always comes from danger,” Qin Nan said calmly.
Even if a Nine Heavens Supreme was to show up, he would not leave still, let alone just Peerless Rulers.
“Hehe, you’re right…”
The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor’s eyes glittered as he fell into deep thoughts.
“Oh? Strange things are happening in the Eastern Realm and the Western Realm?”
Immortal Emperor Jiangjue quickly exchanged glances with one another after relaying the information back to the faction. They could see the shock in each other’s eyes.
“Mm?”
A thought crossed Qin Nan’s mind.
The unusual things happening in the Eastern Realm might have something to do with the White-Blue Flower.
However, he had yet to go to the Western Realm. Why would something unusual happen there too?
“Many factions are already on their way to the Eastern Realm after learning about the rare phenomena. The other Peerless Rulers are going to be here in just a few hours. Fellow cultivators, I shall look around first.”
The Peerless Ruler of the Wengu Tribe said with a smile and left.
Immortal Emperor Jiangjue and the others discussed briefly among themselves. They glanced at Qin Nan and his crew coldly and soon withdrew their gaze.
The four of them would not be able to do anything even if they found a way into the palace.
Perhaps they were allowed to use violence in the palace. They would eliminate them right away, especially the young man called Xiu Shenliang.
Zhu Zihuang, Gu Julin, and the rest of the cultivators proceeded to take a look around the place after knowing they had to wait for a few hours.
Zhu Zihuang lowered his head and pondered. After some time, his eyes glittered as a thought crossed his mind.
“Cultivator Qin Nan, right? I’m Zhu Zihuang from the Nongyan Tribe.”
Zhu Zihuang went up to Qin Nan and brought his fists together, “I’ve long heard about you, and have admired you since. Cultivator Qin Nan is indeed extraordinary.”
Many people were stunned by his words.
What was Zhu Zihuang thinking?
Why was he trying to be friendly with Qin Nan?
Immortal Emperor Jiangjue and the Peerless Rulers frowned, yet they watched quietly without saying a word.
Qin Nan calmly said, “Cultivator Zhu, there’s no need to be so courteous. Just say it if you need anything.”
Zhu Zihuang smiled and said, “HAHA, Cultivator Qin Nan is a smart man indeed, then I’ll cut straight to the topic. I heard you have an extraordinary immortal saber.”
“I’m a saber lover myself too.”
The others were startled while Qin Nan squinted.
How did Zhu Zihuang know about his Heaven-Shattering Saber?
Did the Ten Thousand Layer Immortal PaG.o.da sell his information to him?
Zhu Zihuang added, “If it’s allowed, I would have robbed it from you straight away. Therefore, I was thinking about whether Qin Nan dares to accept my invitation to a duel?”
The man’s eyes burned with purple flames, “Of course, it will be a fair duel. If you lose, you will give me the saber.”
