Chapter 1978 - The Conspiracy Behind the Wedding
Xiao Yan looked at Gong Yang before breaking the silence, “I think we should find Longhu and Sima Kong at once and stop them.”
Gong Yang let out a sigh and said, “Brother Xiao, forget about that.”
Xiao Yan was startled, “Brother Gong, what do you mean? They are obviously diving right into a conspiracy. If we simply let them proceed with their plan…”
Gong Yang pointed at Qin Nan. Xiao Yao looked at him with a confused look. Qin Nan shrugged and said, “Kidnapping it is, I’ll lend them a hand when the time comes.”
Gong Yang spread his arms, “Even if we know it’s a conspiracy, someone is still going to support Longhu and Sima Kong.
Gong Yang was very familiar with Qin Nan’s personality.
Even though it felt like Longhu and Sima Kong were in the wrong, Qin Nan would not hesitate to side with Longhu and Sima Kong.
It was all because of the sentence, “Longhu might actually fall in love with the Great Yufeng’s daughter.”
As long as the latter had feelings for Longhu too, Qin Nan would not hesitate to support Longhu, regardless of the conspiracy behind it.
Xiao Yan coughed. He said with a stern look, “Brother Qin, I know you possess an outstanding cultivation, but it’s still too risky if the Tai’a Heaven Palace teams up with the Dabei Sect. I believe we should figure out a plan if we are going to help.”
Qin Nan smiled. He waved his hand and said, “That won’t be necessary. I know what I’m doing.”
“But…”
Qin Nan let out a hollow laugh, “I haven’t met those two after coming back to the Secondary Lower Realm, yet they are already stirring up so much trouble. Either way, I won’t let them withdraw from the scene so easily. I want them to learn a lesson or two from it.”
Gong Yang and Xiao Yan could not agree more.
The three notified Qin Tian before leaving the Dewu School.
Meanwhile, one of the strongest factions in the Sacred Emperor Continent, the Tai’a Heaven Palace!
A series of formidable auras soared into the sky.
The Supreme Elders and elders led the disciples and made preparations according to the information they had collected.
A strong murderous aura lingered in the air.
However, no one had noticed three figures entering the deepest region of the Tai’a Heaven Palace.
The figure in the middle had a bulky figure with thick brows and a menacing look. He was none other than the Great Yufeng, the current leader of the Tai’a Heaven Palace, and the expert ranked fourth in the Sacred Emperor Continent.
On his left was a hunchbacked old man with not much hair left, while on his right was a young man with a pale face, E’Yunsheng.
“Did you just say Qin Nan has destroyed twelve Evil Cities with a single flick and the Evil Shrine with his aura alone?” a faintly discernible voice uttered from the darkness.
If anyone was taking a close look, they would see the faint outline of an ancient pattern. It was the Tai’a Heaven Pattern which the origin force had transformed into.
“That’s right! But from what I can tell, Qin Nan’s cultivation isn’t as formidable as it seems. He must have acquired the origin force of the Canglan Continent, since he had the support of the Primordial Rules of the Heavens and Earth,” E’Yunsheng snarled.
“That’s reasonable,” the misty voice said.
“I believe it’s necessary to look into it, to see what level did he reach in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm,” the Great Yufeng said with a frown.
“That won’t be necessary! I’ll find a way to lure him to the Sacred Emperor Continent. His cultivation will fall significantly without the support of the Primordial Rules of the Heavens and Earth.”
“Besides, his cultivation is restricted to the Human God Realm here. No matter how strong he is, he won’t stand a chance against ten peak Human Gods!”
“If that’s not enough, we’ll have twenty or thirty waiting for him. It’s already plenty for him to handle!” E’Yunsheng’s eyes flickered coldly.
“Isn’t the price a little too high?” the Great Yufeng frowned even further.
“Master Yufeng, I shall not withhold the information from you. May I ask, do any continents in the Secondary Lower Realm have an expert like Empress Feiyue?”
E’Yunsheng said coldly, “If we can get our hands on the Canglan Continent, the benefits are beyond what you could ever imagine.”
The Great Yufeng’s frown eased a little.
“He’s right, if we can secure Canglan and team up with the Dabei Sect, we’ll have no problem securing the three wisps of origin force! E’Yunsheng, go ahead with your plan. You have my support.”
The Tai’a Heaven Pattern said, “That being said, we must keep an eye on Qin Nan too. Yufeng, you’ll be investigating him.”
E’Yunsheng and the Great Yufeng nodded.
Meanwhile, one of the strongest factions in the Sacred Emperor Continent, the Dabei Sect…
The Dabei Sect had been around for less than a thousand years. Its founders were ten experts from the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, who managed to recruit a number of people to join them.
Among the ten strongest cultivators in the Sacred Emperor Continent, the Dabei Sect had two of them, and its influence grew significantly too after securing the Wuhuang Godly Mountain and the Wuwang Godly Mountain.
Qin Nan, Gong Yang, and Xiao Yan appeared in the largest city under the Dabei Sect’s jurisdiction. They withdrew their auras and altered their appearance to prevent anyone from recognizing them.
Qin Nan lifted his gaze. Unlike the murderous aura lingering in the Tai’a Heaven Palace, the Dabei Sect had decorated its city with lanterns and colored banners. Rare phenomena were taking place, granting the city a joyful atmosphere.
It was as if what Longhu did was none of their concern.
“What now? Are Longhu and Sima Kong here?” Gong Yang asked.
“They aren’t here yet, but the people of the Dabei Sect have already set up a lot of traps for them,” Qin Nan said.
The three went to a restaurant and waited.
Nothing was going to happen for the time being. They would have to wait until the marriage. Only then would Sima Kong and Longhu make their moves.
Time gradually passed.
Experts started arriving from different directions, including the authorities of various factions who tore through the rift and entered the Dabei Sect.
The people of the Tai’a Heaven Palace eventually arrived too.
“Only half an hour left,” Xiao Yan whispered while lowering the cup in his hand.
“Mm, those two are here too. They aren’t too far away from us,” Qin Nan smiled.
Two cultivators in black robes were setting up a stall on a bustling street a few thousand zhang away from the restaurant.
“Longhu, many experts are here, how the hell are we supposed to do it? No way, I’m not going to fool around with you!”
“Sima Kong, are you scared now?”
“Heh, that won’t work against me.”
“Crap, are you seriously leaving now? Wait! I won’t be taking my loot. I’ll give them all to you!”
“Oh? It’s still too dangerous. I’m not doing it!”
“Sima Kong, you greedy son of a b**ch…fine, I’ll let Yu’er give you the rest of the map after we’re done here!”
“Hehe, Master Long, I’m at your service.”
