Chapter 1994 - Ambush
Meanwhile, a peak Peerless Ruler and the Exceptional Genius Wan Li claimed two of the thrones with impressive moves.
Not long after, two shocking rare phenomena took place with strong immortal Qi dispersing into the surroundings.
The people clearly were clueless about the existence of the Capital of Future. They simply obeyed the ancient voice in their mind and selected the successions available.
The rest of the cultivators had no idea what was going on, but they were able to speculate it a little. The battle between them intensified further.
Time gradually passed. Three hours later…
Many cultivators were severely injured. They had no choice but to return to the island.
There were sixteen Blood Emperor Thrones, and half of them were taken.
“Who would have thought? The Supreme Blood Altar has been perfectly normal for a few thousand years, yet something so unusual has happened as soon as Qin Nan came. How fascinating,” a deep voice murmured.
The cultivators turned around and saw a young man with a pale face carrying a red casket on his back.
Their eyes widened instantly.
“Yin Yi?”
Yin Yi was quite reputable in the Supreme-Transforming Realms. Not only was he the son of a Demon Master, he had been quite active in various places collecting the corpses of cultivators after ambushing them. He had offended a lot of people.
Most cultivators hated his guts.
Immortal rays appeared in the sky above the island, forming an ancient formation, from which figures came out of.
“Lu Qingyin of the Tribe of Immortal Spirits?”
“Zhu Yan of the Nongyan Tribe, and Gu Xiaoyao of the Wengu Tribe?”
The cultivators were startled. Many who were busy fighting one another halted in their track too.
It was rare to see four Exceptional Geniuses showing up at the same time!
Lu Qingyin was wearing a blue dress with her hair tied up, revealing her collar bones. She had a white bracelet on her wrist. The aura she was emitting was in the Greater Success Stage of the Peerless Ruler Realm.
It was the same as Zhu Yan and Gu Xiaoyao’s cultivation.
Two months were not necessarily long for these Exceptional Geniuses, yet they had improved significantly.
Lu Qingyin glanced at Yin Yi quietly. She then looked at Qin Nan whose eyes were closed on the first throne and said softly, “Fellow cultivators, why don’t you show yourselves since you are already here. It’s pointless to hide in the dark.”
“HAHA, Cultivator Lu’s senses are unmatchable!”
A great burst of laughter was heard. A young man with short purple hair cracked his knuckles and approached from the distance. He was followed by two middle-aged men with extraordinary auras.
“The Shidao Tribe is impressive indeed. They have managed to secure three Heaven-Shrouding Beasts.”
Yin Yi wore a smile on his pale face.
“It’s pretty lively here in the seventh Sacred Area.”
Another calm voice soon appeared. A young man with a black headband on his forehead and pitch-black eyes, and a woman with a red headband on her forehead and red eyes appeared from the other side.
Meanwhile, the space of a corner on the island was distorted as three figures in white long robes and the character ‘斩’ (slay) on their backs appeared.
“The Heaven-Slaying Sect again?”
The eyes of Lu Qingyin, Gu Xiaoyao, Zhu Yan, Yin Yi, and the rest of Exceptional Geniuses glittered.
They had no idea how Qin Nan and the Heaven-Slaying Sect were related, but th latter had constantly sent their people over to assist him.
“These are all you got? Didn’t they say many people have come to the seventh Sacred Area? How disappointing!” a voice exclaimed as ten people in black robes arrived from the distance.
Nine of them were white skeletons under the black robes, whose eyes had green flames flickering in them. Meanwhile, the person who was talking had white skeleton hands, while his face was covered in mysterious blood-red runes.
“It’s Xiang Yuansheng of the Shidao Tribe!”
“The Black and Red Immortals of the Mumen Sect are here too!”
“One of the five rebels of the Ancient Taboo, Meng Shanyue is here too!”
The cultivators were astounded when they saw the people that had arrived.
It was unlikely to see so many reputable Exceptional Geniuses gathering at one place apart from the first Sacred Area.
That being said, they knew clearly that these people were here because of Qin Nan.
“Hehe, Brother Meng, how can you say that? Our friends of the Heaven-Repelling Ancient Sect are still waiting far away. Besides, aren’t many experts of the Ancient Taboo, Shidao Tribe, and Mumen Sect still looking for the Heave-Shrouding Beasts?”
Yin Yi smiled, as if he had no clue how eerie his smile was.
Meng Shanyue glanced at Yin Yi in silence. He had no intention to respond to the man.
Lu Qingyin said with a smile, “Fellow cultivators, we might be here with different goals in mind, but we are all here because of Qin Nan. I’ve already asked around, the others can no longer claim the occupied thrones, and each throne must be linked to a succession or a fortunate encounter.”
“I’ve also confirmed that the force protecting the thrones is extremely terrifying. However, we might have a chance to break through it by joining hands.”
“So, what do you think?”
Xiang Yuansheng cracked his thumb and said, “Sure.”
Meng Shanyue shrugged in agreement.
“Cultivator Zhu, Cultivator Wen, can you two take the lead?”
Lu Qingyin gestured.
Zhu Yan and Gu Xiaoyao stared at Qin Nan with a complicated look in their eyes. They soon unleashed a brilliant glow.
“The First Flame of the Nine Heavens!”
“Ancient Spirit, Descend of the Li Emperor!”
The two performed hand seals and summoned a terrifying flame and an ancient figure respectively, both charging at the throne Qin Nan was on.
BANG!
Xiang Yuansheng, Meng Shanyue, and the Peerless Rulers behind them unleashed formidable auras. They turned into swords slashing at the throne too.
Lu Qingyin performed a hand seal. Immortal rays descended from the sky upon the people behind her.
Many cultivators were startled.
Five Exceptional Geniuses and more than ten peak Peerless Rulers had joined hands. Their combined power was utterly terrifying!
Yin Yi was intrigued as he was watching. He suddenly recalled something and asked one of the young men who were from the Heaven-Slaying Sect, “Your name is…Qiu Hong, right? What are you waiting for? It’s going to be troublesome to save Qin Nan after the barrier around the throne is broken down.”
The young man called Qiu Hong had a hollow look in his eyes. He completely ignored Yin Yi.
His mind was preoccupied with the words that Supreme South World told him before he came here.
His mission was to ensure Qin Nan’s safety, yet he could wait until Qin Nan was badly beaten up before making his move.
