As the middle-aged man departed for the Lower Arcana, inside a huge palace at the center of the giant vessel...

"Princess, Elder Huo just sent a message. He says he will be heading over first."

A white-haired old man brought his fists together and said.

"Is the Upper Arcana opening earlier?"

Princess Miao Miao asked with a blink.

"Yes, Princess, it has opened early."

"Spread my words then. We're going there right now."

"Acknowledged."

As Elder Sun left, Princess Miao Miao's eyes flickered with a hint of anticipation.

Would Qin Nan be there too?

He would be, right?

"If he didn't come to the Ancient Battleground, I won't forgive him."

Princess Miao Miao murmured while waving her cute fist around.

She had tried so hard just to convince those old men so that she was allowed to come here and meet him.

Time gradually passed. Three hours later, in the Lower Arcana of the Ancient Battleground...

After the Dead Spirit Tribe disappeared into the glowing door, the Flame Tribe, Lightning Tribe, Undead Tribe, and a few other ancient tribes also arrived in order. Several Martial Monarch Realm authorities did unleash their monarch aura to attract the attention of the crowd instead of concealing their cultivations.

Until now, there were five Martial Monarchs who had entered through the door.

As for Qin Nan, he was sitting above a boulder in the woods. His left eye emitted a purple flicker as he looked up into the sky.

Streams of battle intent were emitted as the battle blood in his body began to boil.

The simplest way to obtain a Seven Slaughter Talisman was by robbing it from the people of the South-Heaven Sacred Ground.

However, the South-Heaven Sacred Ground would surely send a Martial Monarch to lead their disciples. It would turn out to be a tough battle.

That being said, Qin Nan could also try robbing other factions.

Especially those without a Martial Monarch leading the team; with his strength, he could easily defeat them without any risk.

However, Qin Nan did not plan on doing that as it would go against his principles.

Regardless of how powerful he was, he would never pick on innocent people. Otherwise, what difference would there be between him and the people he hated?

Whoosh whoosh whoosh.

Two figures traveled across the sky at a shocking pace.

They were followed by three other figures who were slightly slower.

Qin Nan's Seven Luminaries Sword Talisman emitted a faint glow at that instant.

"Oh? Martial Monarch Rongtian, Martial Monarch Mingkong, and the Illusionist Martial Monarch are here?"

Qin Nan raised his brows.

Martial Monarch Rongtian and Martial Monarch Mingkong flew through the entrance without hesitation. On the other hand, the Illusionist Martial Monarch stopped for a second and quickly scanned the surroundings before entering the door.

Qin Nan squinted.

Time continued to pass. Two hours were gone in the blink of an eye.

During this period, only another group from one of the ancient tribes had arrived. None of the people from the Three Great Factions had shown up.

"Mm?"

Qin Nan turned his head around as he suddenly became aware of something.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh.

He could hear several ‘whooshes’ nearby. The surrounding trees and flowers rattled as the wind blew over them.

A middle-aged man led the way with a stern expression, followed by Huo Dun, Ao Sha, and a few disciples of the ancient tribes.

"Duan Qing, I've found you at last."

The faces of Huo Dun, Ao Sha, and the rest were filled with a hint of joy.

They had spent the past few hours trying to search for Qin Nan in the Lower Arcana with countless methods.

"So you're Duan Qing? I'm an elder of the Lost Herb Garden. I'll make it simple. Hand over the Heavenly Arcana Sacred Fruits, the Heavenly Arcana Spiritual Fruits, and the map, and apologize to my son with kowtows. I'll consider sparing your life!"

The middle-aged man looked down at Qin Nan and said in a cold tone.

Huo Dun, Ao Sha, and the others wore smug looks.

So what if you were able to choose the right map?

Wasn't the outcome the same, since they would be robbing it off him?

"An elder of the Lost Herb Garden?" Qin Nan was startled, before saying in a calm tone, "Forget it, I won't hold you responsible on account of her. Leave now."

If possible, he would not want to harm the people of the Lost Herb Garden.

The middle-aged man and his crew were stunned. They could not believe what they had just heard.

Why was Duan Qing acting as if he were being merciful to them under the current circumstances?

"HAHAHA, not hold us responsible? How bold! Since you're being so arrogant, don't blame me for abusing my age..."

The middle-aged man burst into laughter. A strong aura began to rise around his body.

"Fools."

However, before he could finish, an icy voice exploded.

Qin Nan moved rapidly with a flicker and arrived above the group. He immediately unleashed the Destruction Domain, encapsulating the people below.

He had already given them a chance, but they had not taken it seriously. Therefore, they couldn’t blame him for showing no mercy.

The middle-aged man reacted rather quickly. He fired three monarch arts with the rise of his hand, which formed a combination attack that struck forward. To his surprise, the monarch arts were shattered into pieces upon colliding with the Destruction Domain.

"What kind of Monarch Art is this?"

The middle-aged man, Huo Dun, Ao Sha, and the rest were startled.

"Attack together!"

The middle-aged man yelled.

Since he was an elder, he could easily tell that this Duan Qing was not just an ordinary peak Martial Progenitor.

Huo Dun and the others immediately gathered their thoughts and unleashed their Martial Spirits and Martial Trees.

However, Qin Nan dashed toward the group as if he were completely unaware of their intentions.

"Is he stupid..."

The middle-aged man, Huo Dun, Ao Sha and the others wore cold grins.

Did Duan Qing really think he stood a chance against them all at once?

However, their expressions stiffened the following moment.

They could only see Qin Nan moving rapidly like a phantom, dodging all their monarch arts with ease. Meanwhile, each of his punches seemed fairly normal, but they were directed right at their weakest points.

BANG BANG BANG.

A series of explosions took place in the woods.

Within less than three hundred breaths' time, the middle-aged man, Huo Dun, and the others found themselves being pinned down by Qin Nan.

"Father, what should we do?"

Huo Dun, Ao Sha, and the rest began to panic.

They finally understood that this Duan Qing's real strength had entirely exceeded their imagination.

"He's already this strong without using his Martial Spirit and Martial Tree. If the battle keeps going, we won't stand a chance. Even if we somehow win, we would be left with serious injuries too, which would allow the other cultivators to take advantage of us."

The middle-aged man mumbled in his heart. He already had the urge to flee.

Meanwhile, inside the middle-aged man's Sumeru Ring, a badge suddenly emitted a faint glow.

"Is that..."

The middle-aged man was shocked before his face was filled with great joy.

He did not expect the people of the Lost Herb Garden to come to the Lower Arcana in advance.

If that were the case, why would they be afraid of this Duan Qing?
