Peerless Battle Spirit

The mysterious woman glanced at Qin Nan and said, “What do I get from bringing you out of this place?”

Qin Nan said after a slight ponder, “I don’t have anything to offer you for the time being, but I will owe you a favor. I shall assist you if you need my help.”

He still had three Fruits of the Heavens and Earth available, but he was unwilling to offer them. He would be paying a huge price for it. He was planning to leave one each for Princess Miao Miao and Jiang Bilan.

The situation was not in his favor, but he had captured the Exceptional Geniuses. As long as he insisted not to let them go, the experts of the various factions could not do anything to him apart from restricting his freedom.

“I don’t need your favor. You can come with me if you want since you’ve already given me the two Fruits of the Heavens and Earth before.”

The mysterious woman withdrew her gaze. She performed a hand seal. The moonlight of the five purple moons gathered on her palm.

Several runes gradually surfaced on it.

“Why would the woman choose to intervene?”

The three cultivators of the Heaven-Slaying Sect were slightly displeased, yet they did not say anything further, nor did they forcibly interrupt her.

First, they had no idea if they stood a chance against her. Second, their patriarch did not tell them to bring Qin Nan back. He only asked them to keep Qin Nan alive.

The eyes of the cultivators flickered murderously. After all, Qin Nan still had three Fruits of the Heavens and Earth on him!

However, none of them dared to move still.

They had witnessed Qin Nan’s outstanding strength. Even though he had expended a significant amount of his energy, they still did not stand a chance.

They would only dare to make a move if Jiang Ni and Meng Jinxian took the initiative to attack Qin Nan.

“Cultivator Qin Nan, my brother just transmitted a message to me. He asked you to visit the Nine Palace Golden Immortal Sect to keep your promise,” Meng Jinxian said with a smile.

Meng Jinxian never met Qin Nan before, but his strength and his willingness to offer the Fruit of Fate to help him with the breakthrough left Meng Jinxian with a good impression of him.

“My promise?”

Qin Nan was startled. He was left speechless.

He understood the reason why Wu Huisheng had treated him as an obstacle, but he already told Meng Jiugong the truth, yet why was Meng Jiugong observing him still?

“Qin Nan!”

Jiang Ni lifted his head. His gaze sharpened as he unleashed a formidable aura.

The cultivators were enlightened.

Was Jiang Ni going to attack?

Meng Jinxian shook his head.

The others might not be able to tell, but he clearly knew that Jiang Ni was impressed by Qin Nan too even though he never mentioned it. It was unlikely that Jiang Ni would attack Qin Nan now.

“Jiang Ni, it’s going to take senior a moment to complete the formation. Now is the time if you want to have a duel with me, but I’m afraid we’ll have to wait until the next time we meet to decide the outcome.”

Flames flickered in Qin Nan’s eyes.

He did not interact with the rest of the Exceptional Geniuses during the battle, but he had briefly joined hands with Jiang Ni. He had a good first impression of him too.

If possible, he would not mind to befriend him.

Jiang Ni did not respond. A few moments later, his eyes calmed as he spoke, “There isn’t enough time. It’s pointless to have a duel now, but I’ll be implanting a wisp of sword intent in you.”

He flicked his finger after finishing the sentence. A wisp of sword intent flew toward Qin Nan and landed on his palm.

Qin Nan did not stop it when he sensed no threat from it. It drew a tiny rune on the back of his hand.

“Is this…”

Qin Nan slightly frowned.

“It’s a habit of my past life. The sword intent won’t affect you.”

“However, it means we are enemies of life and death from today onward.”

Jiang Ni said, “I won’t fight you now, but the next time we meet, I’ll try my best to kill you.”

Many were startled by the words.

“Time to go,” the mysterious woman said.

An enormous purple formation took shape in the air with phantoms floating around it.

The mysterious woman disappeared into the formation. It began to shrink rapidly. It would vanish in another ten seconds.

Qin Nan glanced at it before looking at Jiang Ni. He said after a brief pause, “Alright.”

He stepped into the formation and disappeared.

“Qin Nan left!”

“A mysterious Nine Heavens Supreme brought him away!”

“The people of the Heaven-Slaying Sect showed up too. They tried to bring Qin Nan with them, but…”

The cultivators took out their badges and transmitted their thoughts.

“Energy of the Heavens and Earth, heed my call!”

Lu Qingyin and the people of the Tribe of Immortal Spirits immediately flew toward the Tree of Wonderful Fruit from afar.

She was no longer in danger now that Qin Nan had left.

She must claim at least one of the Fruit of the Heavens and Earth!

The rest of the Exceptional Geniuses and Peerless Geniuses executed their Immortal Arts too.

The five ancient tribes had sent out Nine Heavens Supremes to break through the Realm of the Primordial Blood. It was definitely not good news for them. They must claim the Fruits of the Heavens and Earth as soon as possible.

“Jiang Ni, I’m curious. The two of you might not be friends, but it doesn’t mean you have to be enemies, right?”

Meng Jinxian stayed on his spot. He looked at Jiang Ni and said, “Is it because he captured Gong Wuhua?”

Jiang Ni said expressionlessly, “Gong Wuhua’s life or death has nothing to do with me.”

Meng Jinxian frowned. He asked, “If that’s the case, why did you…”

Jiang Ni looked at Meng Jinxian and said, “Some people are born enemies. We are different, my Dao is to be an emperor, but Qin Nan has blocked my path.”

Meng Jinxian was startled.

“That makes me even more confused. There are so many emperors in this world. It doesn’t matter if you both become emperors, right? How is Qin Nan blocking your path?” Meng Jinxian asked after some time.

Jiang Ni did not answer him. He executed his Art of Dao Seeking to summon the two illusionary figures of the Masters of Dao. He unleashed a tremendous aura and attacked the Exceptional Geniuses.

Meng Jinxian shrugged upon seeing this. He did not ask any further.

He was familiar with Jiang Ni’s character. It was quite surprising that he had answered a few of his questions.

A few moments later, Jiang Ni’s voice echoed in Meng Jinxian’s mind.

It was indifferent, aloof, and imperious.

“The kind of emperor you mentioned isn’t what I’m aiming for.”

“There will only be one true emperor in this world.”
