Chapter 1773 - Setting a Trap
Immortal Emperor Jiangjue and the Peerless Rulers were startled.
Wouldn’t that mean Qin Nan and his crew were facing one of the deadly traps of the Forbidden Blood of Ten Shamans?
“Oh Qin Nan, even the Heavens want you dead,” Immortal Emperor Jiangjue said with a cold grin.
He would not believe Qin Nan and his crew could still escape from the Forbidden Blood of Ten Shamans.
“Immortal Emperor Guqing, will…will it really not affect us?”
Xu Lai wore a wry smile and said, “For some reason, I keep feeling uneasy about it.”
Before Immortal Emperor Guqing could speak, Xiao Yiyu cast a disdainful glance at him and said, “Xu Lai, are you seriously that timid? Aren’t you an elder of the Ten Thousand Layer Immortal PaG.o.da?”
Xu Lai was slightly furious, yet he could not find any word to refute it.
Immortal Emperor Guqing said with a calm smile, “It’s just as what Immortal Emperor Jiangjue said. Triggering one or two of the Forbidden Blood of Ten Shamans won’t affect us by much. Alright, if there’s nothing else, let’s not call the others over.”
She too felt that this elder of the Ten Thousand Layer Immortal PaG.o.da was worrying too much.
On top of her, the other Peerless Rulers shared the same thought too. They could not help but wonder how he became an elder.
Meanwhile, a huge blast took place again.
Another eerie pattern on the wooden frame cracked open.
Xu Lai’s eyelids blinked rapidly. The uneasy feeling in him grew even stronger.
Immortal Emperor Jiangjue and the others were startled. The former quickly collected his thoughts and burst out laughing, “How unlucky is this Qin Nan!? He actually triggered two of the deadly traps! There’s no way he could run away regardless of how many wisps of Supreme Will he has…”
Before he could finish the sentence, he heard another two blasts. Two other eerie patterns on the wooden frame cracked open.
Immortal Emperor Jiangjue, Immortal Emperor Guqing, and the Peerless Rulers were astounded.
What just happened?
How did they trigger four of the traps?
“Immortal Emperor Guqing, this…”
Xiao Yiyu wore a pale face too. He too had realized that something was not right. He had a bad feeling about it.
“That’s impossible, there’s no way Qin Nan and his crew could trigger all the traps with their cultivation…”
Immortal Emperor Guqing shook her head firmly.
Some unforeseen circ.u.mstances must have happened.
A series of cracks took place before she could finish her sentence too, which echoed in everyone’s ears.
All the remaining patterns on the wooden frame cracked open. Not a single one remained.
The cracks were relatively soft and the disturbance they caused was minimum, but they served as a deafening clap of thunder in their ears.
Immortal Emperor Guqing, Immortal Emperor Jiangjue, Immortal Emperor Zhugang, Immortal Qingli, and the rest of the Peerless Rulers were stunned. Their eyes were filled with disbelief.
How were all the traps of the Forbidden Blood of Ten Shamans triggered?
Whoosh whoosh whoos.h.!.+
Meanwhile, Qin Nan, Yuanji, the Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor, the Heaven-Repairing Cauldron, and the others were blown out from the wooden door by a strong wind.
“Mm?”
They froze when they saw the Peerless Rulers around them.
Did they gather here to prevent them from escaping?
“Qin…Qin Nan?”
Xu Lai and Xiao Yiyu were the first to react. Their eyes widened upon taking a glance.
The Peerless Rulers and the rest of the cultivators quickly looked at them too.
The two sides simply stared at one another as the place fell into an eerie silence.
“Qin Nan! Why have you stopped!? The Forbidden Blood of Ten Shamans is still on our trail…mm? Why are there so many Peerless Rulers here!?”
Doom who was inside the Heaven-Repairing Cauldron was startled. He blurted out in excitement as a thought crossed his mind, “Perfect! This is perfect! Qin Nan, hurry up and tag them all with your presence.”
“The Forbidden Blood of Ten Shamans will focus on killing those with a higher cultivation!”
Qin Nan and the others shuddered upon hearing the words.
Did The Forbidden Blood of Ten Shamans really have such a rule?
Didn’t that simply mean they could drag the Immortal Emperors into their mess too?
“Go!”
Qin Nan and the others flicked their fingers and fired wisps of immortal glow onto Immortal Emperor Guqing and the others without hesitation.
These wisps of immortal glow did not pose any threat since they only contained their presence.
The Immortal Emperors did not react since they did not sense any danger.
“Alright!”
Qin Nan and the others were overjoyed.
These Immortal Emperors had yet to enter the valley. Even if the Forbidden Blood of Ten Shamans would focus on attacking the Immortal Emperors, it would still a.s.sign some of its power to take them down still since they had triggered the traps first.
But after tagging the Peerless Rulers with their presence, the Forbidden Blood of Ten Shamans would use all they had to take down the Peerless Rulers.
“Let’s leave!”
Qin Nan exchanged glances with the others. They flew into the distance as they did not dare to stay here any longer.
They did not know what was going to happen, but they had to prepare to leave the ancient ruins at any second.
“It’s their presence, they are trying to…c.r.a.p!”
Immortal Emperor Guqing, Immortal Emperor Jiangjue, Immortal Emperor Zhugang, and Immortal Emperor Qingli soon realized what was going on. Their faces immediately turned pale.
Meanwhile, a huge blast came from inside the wooden door.
Following it, ten fierce beasts and one that was covered in blood flew out from the door.
An overwhelming murderous aura surged across the place like a storm. Its terrifying presence filled up the ancient ruins.
The guards that were still intact in the palaces nearby suddenly woke up. They knelt on the ground and wors.h.i.+ped the eleven beasts sincerely.
“Kill!”
The beast that was covered in blood glanced around the ancient ruins with its twisted b.l.o.o.d.y eyes. It soon placed its attention on the Immortal Emperors and uttered the word with a hoa.r.s.e voice.
All the other beasts moved within an instant. They rose into the air and swung their claws with icy flickers at the cultivators.
The eyes of Immortal Emperor Guqing, Immortal Emperor Jiangjue, and the Peerless Rulers widened as they sensed a shocking danger approaching. They quickly executed a series of Immortal Arts and Dao Arts to defend themselves.
Immortal glows of various colors flickered throughout the place, followed by a series of deafening explosions.
“F**k me! It really works!”
The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor cursed out of excitement.
It was his first time thinking how adorable those Peeress Rulers here. He even had a strong urge to compliment them.
“Tsk tsk, they are a glimmer of hope at our darkest hour!”
Yuanji smacked his lips. He pointed at Xu Lai and the others and said with a mischievous grin after noticing something, “There are a lot of Heaven Immortals there too. Let’s tag them with our presence too.”
