Chapter 1848 - Land of Danger? Land of Treasure?
Qin Nan was utterly speechless. He said, “I’m afraid that’s not going to happen. It’s only possible for me to leave this place because I’ve obtained a drop of demon blood. I don’t think I’ll be able to bring you out of this place.”
Qin Nan and Supreme Rudao immediately learned how dramatic the change of a person’s attitude could be following the sentence.
The old man with thinly spread hair and the old man that was drinking immediately wore a disappointed look. Their eyes flickered with disdain as their expressions darkened, losing their previous friendly attitude.
“In the end, he’s only good for display!”
The old man with thinly spread hair sighed helplessly.
He did not want to spend even a second extra in this place. Not only was he not getting any benefits from it, the longer he stayed, the heavier he was influenced by the place, causing his cultivation to drop continuously.
“Did you say you have refined a drop of demon blood?”
The scarecrow quickly went up to Qin Nan and inspected him closely. He nodded, “Indeed, it’s a very ancient demonic intent, the same as this place.”
“Kid, do you mind lending me a hand to construct a formation? With your demonic intent, I would have a great chance of breaking the barrier.”
The scarecrow added, “Don’t you worry, if you’re willing to help, I promise to pay you back handsomely.”
The eyes of the old man with thinly spread hair and the old man that was drinking flickered. They did not expect Qin Nan to be useful still.
Before Qin Nan could respond, Supreme Rudao said calmly, “Break the barrier? Aren’t you trying to get out? Why would you break the barrier?”
The scarecrow looked at her and said with a wry smile, “To be honest, with our capabilities, there’s no way we can force our way out. Our only hope is to break the barrier and see if there are any other exits inside.”
Qin Nan and Supreme Rudao nodded.
The scarecrow did not seem to be lying to them.
“It’s fine to ask him for help, but you must tell us everything you know about this place. You will give us five Immortal Blessing resources too, and you will not do any harm to us. You must swear an Immortal Demon Oath first.”
Supreme Rudao smiled. Her eyes squinted into the shape of a crescent.
The two strange men and the scarecrow must have exceeded the cultivation level of the Nine Heavens Supreme Realm. They might even be Masters of Dao.
Against such authorities, she would not miss out on the opportunity to take advantage of them, especially considering how they tried to tease her.
“What? Five Immortal Blessing resources? Why don’t you go and rob someone instead?”
The old man with thinly spread hair was enraged, “Kids, how dare you try to take advantage of us? Do you have any idea who we are?”
Supreme Rudao did not seem to be bothered. She giggled and said, “I don’t know who you are, but I’m not interested in knowing either. It’s fine if you aren’t willing to agree to it.”
The old man with thinly spread hair chocked slightly. The other old man harrumphed coldly, “Old prick, what do you even know? Don’t worry, five Immortal Blessing resources it is. We’ll swear the oath now.”
The old man immediately swore an oath following the sentence.
“We don’t know much about this place, but we are confident that it’s the tomb of one of the Ten Immortals!”
The old man that was drinking purposely emphasized when he mentioned the Ten Immortals. He was looking forward to seeing the shock on Qin Nan and Supreme Rudao’s face, but they remained calm still.
“It seems like these two kids aren’t ordinary either.”
The old man’s lips curled upward. He added, “The tombs you saw outside are all built around this tomb. In simpler words, if anyone tries to attack this tomb, the other tombs will turn into a deadly formation.”
The eyes of Qin Nan and Supreme Rudao flickered with astonishment.
A huge formation consisting of seventeen tombs of experts in the Master Realm. How powerful would it be?
“Besides, from what we know, the Immortal’s body isn’t destroyed yet. It’s inside those palaces.”
The eyes of the old men and the scarecrow flickered when the body was mentioned.
Apart from trying to find a way out, they were also planning to retrieve the body by breaking through the barrier.
Among the Ten Immortals, the four that were ranked at the top already had a foot in the higher cultivation levels. Meanwhile, the other six were described as unbeatable among the cultivators in the Master Realm.
If they could obtain any of their bodies, the benefits would be unimaginable.
“Oh?”
Qin Nan slightly squinted.
The two old men and the scarecrow were intruders. They were not the person that Ling Lanlan was referring to.
It basically meant the Immortal that the old man was referring to was not dead. It was quite likely that the person was still alive.
Perhaps the Immortal was even watching them right now.
Qin Nan suddenly had a strange feeling upon having this thought.
If the Immortal was still alive and had something to do with his past life, why was the person still not showing up yet?
“Forget it, I shouldn’t worry about that now. Let’s get rid of the barrier first.”
Qin Nan shook his head. He walked up to the scarecrow and brought his fists together, “Senior, how should I help?”
The scarecrow pointed at the patterns he had drawn and said, “When I give you the signal, use all your force to direct the demonic intent into them.”
He picked up the branch and continued drawing the patterns.
The old man with thinly spread hair asked curiously as a sudden thought crossed his mind, “By the way, if the kid already refined the drop of demon blood, wouldn’t he be able to go through the barrier right away?”
The scarecrow said disdainfully without turning his head around, “Even if the demon blood he refined does belong to the Immortal of this tomb, he still would not be able to go inside it. The barrier is meant to stop everything from the outside.”
Qin Nan totally agreed with it. Going through the barrier and going in and out of the tomb were two different things.
“Alright, well, it’s not a good thing for us if the kid is able to go inside first...”
The old man with thinly spread hair murmured. However, before he could finish, the demonic barrier suddenly reacted unusually. Its surface began to ripple like a wave.
The scarecrow and the old men immediately wore a stern look.
They were well aware of how extraordinary the power of the barrier was. Their lives would be in danger if it was trying to attack them.
A moment later, rays of light burst out of the barrier and landed on Qin Nan.
