Peerless Battle Spirit,Chapter 1074 – The White Declaration Pagoda - Read free novels online

After letting Chen Changli know that he was leaving, Qin Nan and Bai Qinglian left the Chen Clan.

However, as soon as they stepped out of the door, a badge on Bai Qinglian’s waist began to glow. Her face became gloomy as she glimpsed at its contents.

“What’s wrong?” Qin Nan asked.

“My brother has asked me to go to the White Declaration Pagoda.” Bai Qinglian uttered a cold harrumph, “He mentioned that he has found a batch of high-quality betting rocks, asking me to go and have some fun. I doubt that’s his true intentions, as it’s most likely that he’s planning to humiliate me instead. Qin Nan…why don’t you come with me to the White Declaration Pagoda?”

“The White Declaration Pagoda?”

Qin Nan hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement.

In the Royal City of the Southern Continent, the royal place, the Chen Clan, and the Bai Clan were places that had existed for centuries, making them full of mysteries waiting to be discovered. However, apart from the three places, the Aromatic Inn, the White Declaration Pagoda, the Ritual Temple, etc. were well-known among the people too.

It was possible that these places would also have different saber intent concealed within them.

As such, he would not mind taking a look.

Following this, Qin Nan arrived at the White Declaration Pagoda under Bai Qinglian’s guidance.

The White Declaration Pagoda was five floors tall, covering an area with a circumference of a hundred zhang. The entire building was made of some ancient white minerals, fully carved with runes that combined into a strange pattern.

Meanwhile, many cultivators were rushing into the building.

Qin Nan scanned with his left eye and discovered the saber intent of the White Declaration Pagoda was indeed different. It was stronger than the saber intent he had found at the Aromatic Inn.

As they arrived on the first floor, a seventh-layer Martial Sacred Realm middle-aged man walked up to them and said with a smile, “Mistress Bai, Young Master is waiting for you on the fifth floor.”

“Got it.”

Bai Qinglian nodded without showing any expression. She was about to step forward when the middle-aged man suddenly reached out his hand to stop them.

The middle-aged man glanced at Qin Nan and smirked, “Mistress Bai, I forgot to mention. We’ve got a special guest today, so ordinary people are not allowed to interrupt the meeting. This is the Young Master’s order.”

Bai Qinglian was on the verge of unleashing her anger when Qin Nan asked in an indifferent tone, “Could you please explain the definition of ordinary people?”

“Ordinary people? A perfect example would be like you, one that possesses a weak cultivation.” The middle-aged man did not conceal the disdain in his eyes.

However, as soon as he finished the sentence, Qin Nan’s figure suddenly moved, throwing a punch in the direction of his heart.

The middle-aged man was astounded, as he did not expect Qin Nan would attack all of a sudden. He immediately executed an ancient art, but he suddenly realized that the position of his heart was the weakness of the art he was executing.

In other words, he would not be able to evade the punch!

Whoosh!

Qin Nan’s fist stopped in front of him, causing a strong breeze to blow his hair apart.

The middle-aged man’s figure stiffened, his eyes filled with terror, as he could somehow smell the scent of death just a moment ago.

“I believe I don’t fit into the category you mentioned?”

Qin Nan let out a calm smile.

Bai Qinglian’s eyes flickered. As expected of the person she had her eyes on, who possessed such extraordinary strength, able to suppress the middle-aged man with a simple punch.

“Come, let’s head up.”

Bai Qinglian collected her thoughts and led Qin Nan to the fifth floor.

This time, no one dared to stop them.

There was no sign of any cultivators on the fifth floor. Bai Qinglian pushed open a giant door and entered a room.

The room covered an area with a circumference of over eighty zhang, filled with rocks of various shapes and sizes. On the other side of the room was a wooden table, at which sat a young man with a pale face and an eerie appearance.

“So these are the betting rocks?”

Qin Nan glimpsed at them, causing his eyes to flicker with excitement.

The betting rocks were referring to rocks that had been dug up which had a chance of containing treasure inside them or being completely empty. These rocks were quite special, as their surface was enchanted with the force of the Heavens and Earth, thus preventing ordinary eye-techniques from peeking into them.

It was all up to the cultivators to decide their pick.

These betting rocks were similar to betting on the fragments of treasure pieces, but what intrigued Qin Nan the most was that he could sense a unique aura from one of the rocks, which even his left eye failed to peek through.

“Sister, it’s been a while. You’ve grown prettier.” The young man glimpsed at Qin Nan and said, “And he is?”

“He’s Qin Nan, my friend.” Bai Qinglian did not wear a friendly expression who snapped immediately, “Bai Qi, enough with the acting. What do you want this time, calling me here?”

“Hehe, sister, your temper is still the same.” Bai Qi wore a cold grin as he spoke, “Before we get down to business, why don’t you ask your fifth-layer Martial Sacred Realm friend to...well…excuse us for a moment?”

His tone emphasized the words ‘fifth-layer Martial Sacred Realm’, but he suddenly let out a cough in the midst of his speech, causing his pale face to have a strange feeling.

Bai Qinglian frowned and snapped, “I’ll say it again, he’s my friend, so he’s allowed to stay. If you don’t have anything else, I’ll be leaving.”

“Leave? Bai Qinglian, you will regret it if you walk out the door now.” Bai Qi wore a gloating expression, “Don’t you blame your brother for not reminding you, the guest we are having today has a noble status. If some peasant offends her, it would result in severe consequences.”

Bai Qinglian’s expression became unpleasant.

“Bai Qi, right?” Qin Nan turned around and glanced at Bai Qi with a hint of disgust. ”Didn’t you enjoy sucking someone’s blood yesterday? Judging from your appearance, you must have sucked the blood of at least a thousand people.”

“What did you say?” Bai Qi rose to his feet with a stunned expression.

This guy…

How did he know?

“You’re sucking human’s blood?” Bai Qinglian’s eyes were filled with shock. She had investigated Bai Qi before and discovered that he was practicing a demonic art, however, she did not expect it to be so evil.

“Don’t you accuse me without proof. Let me remind you, I have at least a thousand ways to kill you in the Royal City!”

Bai Qi collected his thoughts while his chest throbbed. His eyes glared at Qin Nan like a vicious snake.

Qin Nan ignored his threats and said, “Won’t admit it? It seems like you’ve achieved the Minor Success Stage with the demonic art, right? Your hands and legs must have turned into bloody bones? Let me recall, does that mean you’ll need to suck the blood of thirty thousand cultivators so you can refine your flesh into the bloody bone flesh?”

“You!”

Bai Qi’s expression changed tremendously.

This wasn’t right!

Less than ten people knew that he was practicing the Blood Devouring Art, and each of them was utterly loyal to him. How did the young man know his secret?

Did someone betray him?

Qin Nan proceeded to a wooden chair and sat down on it before he continued, “By the way, isn’t the special guest you mentioned the empress? Why are you being so mysterious when she’s already in the hidden room beside this?”

Hearing this, Bai Qi subconsciously took a step backward as if he had been knocked.

This…

How did he know that too?
