BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1140 - The Change in a Day
Chapter 1140 - The Change in a Day
While the entire Middle Continent was in an uproar, several Two-Starred Factions and Three-Starred Factions were holding separate emergency meetings.
After all, the outcome of the Monarch Horoscope Contest was determined. As such, they would need to reevaluate the strength of the Heaven-Saber Sect, the Fallen Demon Villa, and the Dragon Emperor Clan, and the resources distributed to their disciples.
This was reality.
Even Shi Qingfan, Sage Chen Zilai, and the others could not avoid it.
Although they could still take part in the next Monarch Horoscope Contest around eighty to a hundred years later, how would they guarantee that new geniuses would not enter the scene as well within this period?
As long as they failed once, they would be marked as failures.
…Meanwhile, in the Dragon Emperor Clan…
As one of the three factions whose genius had inherited the Monarch Horoscope, the entire faction was immersed in a great uproar as everyone was wearing a smile on their face.
With Ao Cangtian successfully inheriting the Monarch Horoscope, the status of their Dragon Emperor Clan would rise tremendously too.
Their status as the powerhouse faction of the Middle Continent remained untouchable.
However, in comparison to the excitement of the disciples and elders, somewhere mysterious in the Dragon Emperor Clan, the Dragon Emperor, the Nine-Tailed Monarch Beast, and the Diabolic Monarch Beast were uttering sighs in their hearts.
Even though they were glad that Ao Cangtian had managed to secure a Monarch Horoscope, they never thought that Qin Nan whom they had high hopes in would fail.
He was a genius who had surpassed the rules of cultivation.
Whoosh!
A strange flame suddenly burst alive as a terrifying aura was unleashed from it!
It was the aura of a Martial God!
“Greetings, Senior God Beast!”
The Dragon Emperor and his crew were startled, who immediately brought their hands together and said.
“Where’s Qin Nan?” An imperious voice like ancient thunder said.
“For your information, Qin Nan has returned to the Human Peak.” The Dragon Emperor replied with utter respect.
“Oh.” The God Beast calmly said, “Since Qin Nan has failed to achieve the Martial Monarch Realm, he’s no longer useful to us. From today onward, the Dragon Emperor Clan will withdraw its protection and resources. Furthermore, ask him to tell us how he managed to surpass the rules of cultivation; that way, the beast race will be willing to protect him one more time. That’s all.”
As the voice fell silent, the fire disappeared into thin air, as if it had never existed.
The Dragon Emperor, the Nine-Tailed Monarch Beast, and the Diabolic Monarch Beast wore dark expressions.
“Chief…” A while later, the Nine-Tailed Monarch Beast clenched her teeth and said, “No matter what, in my heart, Qin Nan is always a disciple of the Dragon Emperor Clan. I’ll always protect him if he were in any kind of danger.”
“Same here.” The Diabolic Monarch Beast also said after a prolonged silence.
“Qin Nan will always be considered one of the Dragon Emperor Clan alive or dead. Leaving the God Beast’s plan aside, Qin Nan has contributed a lot to the Dragon Emperor Clan. Besides, judging from Jiu Jiu’s statement, I believe Ao Cangtian was only able to retrieve the Monarch Horoscope because of Qin Nan.” The Dragon Emperor said with a solemn expression, “We will always consider him as one of us.”
“But…”
“The path he is going to walk in the future will be extremely difficult…”
The Dragon Emperor raised head staring into the sky and let out a sigh.
The Nine-Tailed Monarch Beast and the Diabolic Monarch Beast fell silent. Sometimes, it might be a good thing to surpass the rules of cultivation, but it might be a bad thing too.
……
……
…Dragon Emperor Clan, Human Peak…
Qin Nan was sitting on a boulder staring into the distance.
After coming out from the Monarch Horoscope Contest, he had split up with Sima Kong and the others. As for Skeleton Xiao Hong, the two hounds, and one mouse, they had received great benefits too. Initially, the two hounds and one mouse wanted to keep Qin Nan company, but Qin Nan instantly ordered them to go and cultivate.
“Qin Nan.” An icy voice could be heard. Qin Nan turned his head around and saw Mu Mu in front of him.
Mu Mu had changed into a long crystal dress with an icy aura emitting from her shoulders. Together with her jade-white collarbone and her attractive physique, she seemed glamorous in her own unique way.
Qin Nan was startled, before he spoke, “Thanks for your help in the Monarch Horoscope Contest.”
He had not expected Mu Mu to offer her assistance.
“You don’t need to thank me. It’s what I owe you.” Mu Mu opened her eyes wide and said with a rigid look, “I’ve misunderstood you. You didn’t kill my father, it was the Flying Alligator Progenitor and the others.”
“Good to hear that you’ve recovered.” Qin Nan wore a calm smile.
“Mm.” Mu Mu nodded and continued after a slight hesitation, “Qin Nan, I think that it’s not that important that you didn’t achieve the Martial Monarch Realm this time. We’re still young, thus we can easily wait another eighty years. Look at your past, when you were still at the Eastern Continent, even though your strength was weak, you have been moving forward fearlessly all the time.”
Saying this, her eyes began to flicker.
In the past, when she was still suffering from her illness which prevented her from cultivating, she clearly remembered how impressed she had been by Qin Nan’s achievements.
“Don’t worry, I won’t go down so easily!” Qin Nan stood up and his eyes flickered, “This is only the beginning. After all, I still have something to destroy far away in the south!”
……
……
…In the Half-God region, somewhere in the extreme south…
An ancient gate stood between the Heavens and Earth, as if it had existed eternally.
However, at that instant, the gate suddenly emitted a purple glow.
The tiny change served as shocking thunder to the authorities guarding the place.
“What happened? A purple glow?”
“Gasp! A purple glow? What is it implying? Does this mean another Empress Feiyue has appeared?”
“Even the current anti-Heaven Alliance could only trigger a red glow! Who exactly could trigger a purple glow?”
A mysterious voice echoed inside the South-Heaven Gate with a hint of anger, “I thought all the three-starred and two-starred enemies were eliminated? South-Heaven Spirit, what exactly is going on?”
“I’m not too sure either. It’s possible that something that we aren’t aware of has happened.”
The voice of the South-Heaven Spirit was filled with doubts.
……
……
…Inside the endless rift…
A black crystal was drifting forward continuously, not knowing where to go.
It would occasionally attract the attention of the terrifying creatures nearby, which soon lost their interest after taking a closer look.
It was only an ordinary crystal.
Suddenly, a glow appeared in the dark.
A bright-colored flower blossomed under the black crystal, as a white-robed woman slowly stepped out from it.
“You’ve saved Qin Nan’s life, so I’ll help you once.”
The white-robed woman waved her hand, directing an endless source of life energy into the black crystal.
