Chapter 1034 - The Bronze Palace in the River
Qin Nan was astounded when they arrived at the inner sector, as he did not expect time to pass so quickly. Apart from being astounded, he felt like he had yet to tell the Princess everything.
He was not good at socializing. Even with Gong Yang, he rarely told him everything that he had gone through. However, when the Princess asked about it, he would tell her everything he had experienced in the Middle Continent.
Even though Qin Nan used to hate the Princess who loved taking advantage of him, robbing him and even bullying him, he later understood that she was typically ‘hard as rock’ on the outside but actually soft-hearted inside. No matter who was trying to harm him, the Princess would be the first to stand in front of him.
It seemed like he had become her inverse scale.
Upon having this thought, Qin Nan could feel a warmth inside his heart, something that he had never felt before.
“How dare Martial Monarch Huo Ling, Thousand Light Saber Monarch, and the other factions pick on you together.” Princess Miao Miao was unaware of Qin Nan’s reaction as she uttered a harrumph with a cold gaze, “Let’s take care of their sons for now, then the rest of them later.”
Qin Nan had just told her about the series of events that had taken place at the Dragon Emperor Clan.
“The battle intent here at the inner sector is tremendous. Are you not affected by it?” Qin Nan withdrew his thoughts and switched the topic.
Now that they had arrived in the inner sector, the battle intent here was at least five times stronger than the middle sector.
“Of course.” Princess Miao Miao recovered her usual smug look, “I’m the Princess!”
“……”
“Mm, in which direction are they in?” Princess Miao Miao asked.
“Somewhere ahead to our left, we are still a distance away.” Qin Nan glanced at the map.
“This way?”
Princess Miao Miao suddenly raised her white-jade hand. A gentle force of the Heavens and Earth spread from her palm into the surroundings.
Qin Nan immediately saw several stalks of hidden herbs glowing in the distance, as if they were responding to the Princess.
“Mm, I found them. An hour ago, the three Martial Monarchs’ sons fought a tough battle. They have changed their direction, headed to our right instead. Let’s go.”
Princess Miao Miao said.
“Impressive.”
Qin Nan’s eyes glistened with excitement.
The ability to control herbs meant that Princess Miao Miao would be unstoppable in various mystical grounds. It would be easier for her to locate the treasure, etc.
The two quickly headed right.
Along the journey, with the help of the herbs, Princess Miao Miao thoroughly enjoyed herself. Her giggling never stopped, as regardless of how concealed the treasure was, she managed to retrieve every single one of them, including the most ordinary ones.
Even Qin Nan managed to find an Ownerless Martial Tree as well.
“We’re here.” Princess Miao Miao halted in her tracks as she frowned slightly.
In front of them lay a giant river that ran into the distance. The water was dark red, with a hint of a murderous aura.
Similar to the crystal mountain, the river was formed by the Monarch Art of an expert in the past, but it was far stronger than the mountain.
“There’s something at the bottom of the river.”
Qin Nan became aware of something strange after scanning it with his left eye. The two exchanged glances with one another before they nodded and dove into the river.
As soon as they entered, the murderous aura of the river transformed into several skeletons that charged in their direction.
Qin Nan unleashed his battle intent, which shattered the skeletons into pieces before they were able to get close to him.
Their bodies swiftly sank in the water.
As they expected, half an hour later, at the bottom of the river stood a bronze palace, which was three hundred zhang long and two hundred zhang tall. Despite its rotting appearance on the outside, a tremendous aura could be sensed from it.
The entrance to the palace was already opened.
“This bronze palace looks quite familiar.” Princess Miao Miao thoroughly inspected the palace but failed to recall it.
“Let’s take a look inside.”
Qin Nan said. The two immediately went through the entrance.
A pitch-black corridor appeared before them, piled with skeletons with a monarch intent and the scent of blood lingering in the air, implying that a great battle had just taken place recently.
After passing the corridor, they arrived at the first floor of the palace, which was already a mess, filled with ravines. Only a single stone pillar stood firmly in the center.
“There’s a formation on the pillar, which will grant us access to the second floor.”
Qin Nan scanned the pillar and placed his palm on the bottom side of its surface.
The stone pillar instantly emitted a glow that encapsulated them, before they vanished into thin air.
Whoosh!
Qin Nan and the Princess landed on a grass field.
“Mm?” Qin Nan checked his surroundings and discovered that the grass field had no visible end. He could not see any figure nearby either.
“It’s an illusion!”
Qin Nan quickly came to a realization.
“Break!”
Princess Miao Miao performed a hand seal before she slapped upward. Following a crash, the grass field and the sky shattered into pieces like a mirror.
As soon as the illusion was broken, before they could observe their surroundings, several murderous auras were directed toward them.
“Who’s there?”
“Who are you?”
“Damn it, why would anyone be here as well!”
A few exclaims could be heard.
Qin Nan raised his head and found himself in a spacious hall, which currently had thirty-seven cultivators in it. Twenty-three of them were seventh-layer Martial Progenitors, ten were eighth-layer Martial Progenitors, and the remaining four were ninth-layer Martial Progenitors.
The Black Dragon patterns could be seen on their shoulders and hands!
The people of the Black Dragon!
“Why is there someone else here? You bunch of idiots, what are you waiting for? Kill them both!” At that instant, a furious roar could be heard coming from a corner.
A bulky man stepped out from the shadows.
Each of his steps felt like a ferocious beast uttering a roar.
The man was the leader of the Black Dragon, whose cultivation had reached the peak Martial Progenitor Realm!
Apart from that, five other cultivators followed behind him. Only one of them was a ninth-layer Martial Progenitor, and the rest were peak Martial Progenitors!
Hearing their leader’s furious roar, the crowd immediately reacted and prepared to unleash their attacks.
At that instant, three other cultivators appeared beside the leader of the Black Dragon, who turned out to be the three Martial Monarchs’ sons.
They were thunderstruck when they raised their heads, causing them to blurt out subconsciously, “Qin Nan? Why are you here?”
“Qin Nan?” The leader of the Black Dragon was startled. The crowd was startled.
This…
Wasn’t he the ninety-sixth ranked genius of the Dragon Emperor Clan whom they are looking for?
“We’ve met again.”
Qin Nan wore a grin as he saw the three Martial Monarchs’ sons. His right arm slowly transformed into the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch in an explosion.
At that instant, an icy murderous intent swept the hall, as if winter had arrived.
