Chapter 1811 - The Villain in the Dark
The Moon-Devouring Nine-Headed Hound roared furiously, “No way! I’ll surely tell you! Once you enter the gate, you will discover a bronze wall of words. You just need to destroy these words ‘至极尊品无妖上孽’ (Supreme Beast of Great Evil) to enter the Tiny World of Profound Water…”
The beast immediately collected its thoughts in the middle of the speech. Its eyes flickered in disbelief.
What just happened?
Why did it tell the monk everything?
“HAHA, bald donkey, well done!” the Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor blurted out in joy.
The eyes of Qin Nan and the others flickered with astonishment too.
It was obvious that Yuanji had asked Xiu Shenliang to infuriate the Moon-Devouring Nine-Headed Hound on purpose, just so the beast would lose its temper, allowing Yuanji to take advantage of it by tricking it into telling the truth.
“Hehe, just a little trick, it’s nothing too impressive, let’s hurry up.”
Yuanji proudly waved his hand. Qin Nan and the others quickly collected their thoughts and entered the glowing gate, leaving the anxious Moon-Devouring Nine-Headed Hound behind.
Meanwhile, the middle sector of the Six Unity Forbidden Land, beside a river…
Following a flash of immortal light, Long Xuanling and his men appeared and landed on the ground.
“They have no chance of catching up to us now.”
Long Xuanling looked at the surroundings as he spoke.
“Cultivator Long, why are we running away? Qin Nan and his crew might be strong, but we still have a chance of defeating them if we use that thing!”
A Heaven Immortal in a black robe said coldly, “If you don’t give me a satisfying explanation, I will let Supreme South World know everything that happened.”
The rest of the cultivators stared at Long Xuanling coldly too.
Long Xuanling said after a burst of hysterical laughter, “They had two Exceptional Geniuses and a mysterious demon cultivator. Do you seriously think we can kill them by using that thing? Is it really that easy to kill them?”
The cultivators were startled.
They totally forgot how difficult it was to kill an Exceptional Genius; not only did they have outstanding strength, their luck would usually surpa.s.s the others too, making them difficult to be killed.
“So are you implying that we don’t have a chance of killing them? We’ll have to wait for Supreme South World to do it himself?”
The cultivator that spoke first calmed his tone.
“Supreme South World is already on his way to the Realm of Chaos just in case, but I still have a plan in mind before he arrives.”
Long Xuanling’s gaze sharpened. He took out a round white crystal from his storage bag.
A scene was displayed in the crystal. They were able to see Qin Nan and his crew falling into a pit. They then talked to Lu Qingyin while the rogue cultivators discussed among themselves.
“What in the world…”
The cultivators in black robes were startled.
“This is the Moon-Imprinting Water Crystal; it’s able to record everything that happened within a hundred breaths. I have six hundred and seventy of them.”
Long Xuanling said, “We’ll split up and distribute these crystals to the people of the Emperors Ancient Island, Ten Thousand Layer Immortal PaG.o.da, Nongyan Tribe, Wengu Tribe, Wu’e Tribe. Say, what do you think is going to happen next?”
His lips curled upward as he finished the sentence.
The cultivators were astounded.
They were not idiots; the people of these factions were enemies of Qin Nan and his crew too. They had been looking for an opportunity to get rid of Qin Nan.
Even though the Peerless Rulers and Nine Heavens Supremes of these factions had obviously ventured deep into the Six Unity Forbidden Land, which meant they would not be able to deal with Qin Nan and his crew, it would be enough to kill Qin Nan and his crew if they managed to gather a few dozens of Heaven Immortals or even just a few peak Heaven Immortals.
“However, I have no idea where the people of these factions are, so we better hurry up now.”
Long Xuanling’s eyes flickered as he spoke, “By the way, I want you all to remember, I have always been careful with my plans. I would normally have a back-up plan for everything! So you should stop doubting me, do you understand?”
“Got it!”
“Very well, let’s go.”
Meanwhile, inside the glowing door at the place where the rare phenomenon of wind and rain was taking place…
The s.p.a.ce began to twist as Qin Nan and his crew entered the gate. A few moments later, they arrived in an ancient city.
The city was built with a kind of blood-red ore with an eerie glow and aura. On both sides of the s.p.a.cious street stood structures over a few hundred zhang tall.
Some of the structures had immortal auras soaring into the sky in the form of rare phenomena, while others had murderous auras that would send chills down a person’s spine.
Most strangely, there was no sign of any cultivator around the structures with immortal glows, but there were quite a lot of rogue cultivators competing for something at the structures with murderous auras.
“Qin Nan and the others are here!”
“Cultivator Qin Nan, Cultivator Yuanji, are you willing to team up with us?”
“I’ve just found a place with great fortune, are seniors interested in exploring the place with me?”
Many people had seen Qin Nan and his crew arriving. Some immediately stayed on alert, while others transmitted their thoughts.
“The bronze wall of words!”
The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor’s eyesight was utterly impressive when it came to looking for fortune. He soon discovered a bronze wall toward the end of the city with countless words on it.
“Fellow cultivators, we’ll work together some other time.”
Qin Nan and Yuanji brought their fists together before heading toward the wall.
Over a few thousand words on the wall had been destroyed. There were even corpses with fresh blood lying across the ground nearby. It was obvious that these cultivators were killed by the defensive mechanism after destroying the wrong words.
“Supreme, Great…”
The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor quickly scanned the words and chuckled, “We are in luck. Those words aren’t destroyed yet. Back away, I’ll do it!”
He flicked his finger, firing eight demon swords slas.h.i.+ng at the eight words.
Buzz!
The bronze wall began to vibrate vigorously.
Blue rays soared into the sky from the structures in the distance. They arrived before Qin Nan and his crew and formed a rotating blue portal.
“They have found a succession from the wall?”
The rogue cultivators were dumbfounded. Some were on the verge of making their moves.
They had come here earlier, thus they knew that the bronze wall had eleven successions in total. They would have to search the city for clues about them.
The people of the Tribe of Immortal Spirits had found three, while the rest of the rogue cultivators had found five.
“Fellow cultivators, you won’t want to come with us unless you’re trying to get yourself killed.”
The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor glanced at the others coldly before entering the portal.
The s.p.a.ce began to twist just like when they were entering the gate previously.
This time, it took them more than twenty breaths to reach the next area. The ancient city was no longer before them.
“This…”
