Chapter 1779 - One Man is Here
The figures were none other than Xu Lai, Xiao Yiyu, Zhu Zihuang, and other cultivators, eighty-seven of them. Among them, seven were peak Human Immortals, while the rest were at least Earth Immortals.
Xu Lai, Xiao Yiyu, Zhu Zihuang, and their group saw Qin Nan and his crew right away, but they did not seem surprised. They quickly looked around the ancient temple instead.
“Why are they so many broken Dao Weapons here?”
“Those four statues, could they be four of the Primordial Evils?”
“That little girl, is she the Dao Spirit of this place?”
Their faces were soon filled with astonishment.
However, none of them recognized the statues of the Primordial People, the Nameless Grave Tablet, the Painting of Life and Destruction, and the rest of the artifacts.
After all, even though Xu Lai and Xiao Yiyu had seen countless valuable artifacts since they were an elder of the Ten Thousand Layer Immortal PaG.o.da and the Emperors Ancient Island respectively, they were still not as knowledgeable as Doom and the Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor.
“This…”
Their eyes widened when they saw the demon blood on the altar.
They had already recognized the place to be the Eight-Tinkling Ancient Temple.
But to their surprise, they were seeing a drop of demon blood being nurtured right at the center of the Eight-Tinkling Ancient Temple!
Anyone that was slightly experienced would know that the demon blood was more terrifying than the temple upon witnessing such a strange sight.
“Hey, can you all please stay quiet?”
Ling Lanlan rolled her eyes and said, “I can tell you that I am willing to join hands with anyone that manages to claim the demon blood. I will tell the person the secrets of this place and how to claim all the remaining treasure.”
She did not say it to let the two groups fought each other, so she could benefit from the situation.
She only said it so more people would attempt to claim the demon blood.
She was well aware of how difficult it was to claim the demon blood. Even the guy that called himself a demon emperor would most likely fail too.
Having an extra person meant a slightly higher chance!
She had enough of this annoying forbidding formation!
“Mm?”
Xu Lai, Xiao Yiyu, Zhu Zihuang, and the rest of the Peerless Geniuses immediately collected their thoughts.
“Since the few of us are demon cultivators, we’ll go and claim the demon blood while the rest of you keep Qin Nan and his crew busy. It’s even better if you manage to kill the demon cultivator on Qin Nan’s side. How’s that?”
Xiao Yiyu quickly transmitted his voice with eyes br.i.m.m.i.n.g with excitement.
He did not expect to encounter such a great fortune in the temple!
“Got it.”
Xu Lai, Zhu Zihuang, and the others agreed without any hesitation.
Even though they were unwilling to give the precious loot away, it was the best option they had under the circ.u.mstances.
Xiao Yiyu and his crew did not waste any second. They immediately made their way toward the altar and sat down on their legs crossed similar to the Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor. Their demon intent encapsulated the altar.
Xiao Yiyu was not stupid. Qin Nan and his crew had long arrived in the palace, yet instead of claiming the demon blood with force, they were trying to communicate with it instead. There must be a reason behind it.
They could only do the same thing as the Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor as a safety precaution.
“Let’s do it! You guys will focus on taking out the demon cultivator. We’ll deal with Qin Nan.”
Xu Lai groaned. He, Zhu Zihuang, and more than forty cultivators immediately unleashed a great aura followed by immortal glows. They performed a series of hand seals and attacked Qin Nan.
“You devil, time to die!”
Jiu Jie and the other cultivators unleashed brilliant Bodhi glows and unleashed the power of their Bodhi weapons, talismans, and many more. Their sacred light shone upon the Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor.
The temple was filled with a murderous aura!
The eyelids of the Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor that was communicating with the demon blood on the altar shuddered. He had an urge to open his eyes.
“Just focus on communicating with the demon blood. Leave them to us.”
Qin Nan’s calm voice echoed in the Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor’s mind. He did not engage Xu Lai and the others, but arrived behind the Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor with the Sky-Stride Blow.
The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor calmed his thoughts. He had made up his mind too.
Even though Qin Nan had set him up a few times, he was still very reliable during important times. He decided to give Qin Nan some benefits after he claimed the drop of demon blood.
“Junior Brothers, where are your manners? Cultivator Eight Brilliance is a good friend of mine, back off now!”
Yuanji stopped communicating with the Eight-Tinkling Ancient Temple. He too arrived behind the Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor and shattered the Bodhi arts targeting him with a wave.
“Aren’t you even ashamed to be calling us your Junior Brothers?”
Jiu Jie and the others clenched their teeth. They did not stop their attacks. They executed stronger moves instead.
“Cultivator Qin Nan, pardon me!”
Zhu Zihuang let out a roar. He was engulfed in fierce flames together with a few of the Nongyan Tribe. They combined into a fiery spear las.h.i.+ng at Qin Nan.
Xu Lai and the others executed powerful Immortal Arts to attack Qin Nan too.
The combined strength of a few dozens Earth Immortals teaming up with many Peerless Geniuses that were core disciples of their factions was not to be underestimated.
Even a Peerless Genius in the first-layer Heaven Immortal Realm would have to withdraw from the fight miserably instead of taking them on directly.
After all, with enough numbers, ants could even bite an elephant to death.
“Huh? Why did they start fighting all of a sudden?”
Ling Lanlan clearly did not expect it. She immediately felt a little guilty, “It…it feels like I’m the reason why they are in trouble…if I didn’t say those words, these people…”
In her eyes, both Qin Nan and the strange monk were only peak Earth Immortals. They clearly would not stand a chance against so many opponents. They were going to die here.
However, Qin Nan made his move before she could finish her thoughts.
“Heaven-Repairing Cauldron!”
Qin Nan summoned the Heaven-Repairing Cauldron over to him. He inserted his immortal force into it, awakening several patterns on it. It descended upon the place like an immortal mountain.
BANG BANG BANG!
A series of explosions took place when the Immortal Arts landed on the Heaven-Repairing Cauldron. It began to tremble.
However, not a single crack was left on it.
“He has a Dao Weapon!”
Xu Lai, Zhu Zihuang, and the rest of the cultivators were startled.
Qin Nan’s strength was already terrifying. It was going to be a lot more difficult to fight him if he had an ancient Dao Weapon too.
“Qin Nan, you a.s.shole, can’t you easily defend Eight Brilliance? Why do you have to summon me back here!?”
Doom’s eyes flickered with rage.
He was just about to feel some connections with the statues of the Primordial People.
“They are greater in numbers, and we have no idea what strange moves they have. It’s going to be a great loss for us if they somehow disturbed Eight Brilliance at the most critical time. Therefore, we’ll need your help too.”
Qin Nan wore a calm smile. Immortal flames erupted in his eyes as he spoke, “Besides, with me here, do Xiao Yiyu and the others think they can communicate with the demon blood in peace?”
