Chapter 1743 - Rise Again
Supreme Chang Xiao and Supreme Huanglei gave Qin Nan some advice. The former vanished into thin air while the latter headed to another place with Envoy Feng Hua and Changkong. Qin Nan was clueless about what they were up to.
The great pressure lingering in the area soon dissipated.
Everyone felt relieved subconsciously. The crowd immediately placed their attention on Qin Nan. Their gaze at him was filled with respect, admiration, envy, and complicated feelings, yet not a single hint of disdain remained.
Without being exaggerating, even every Peerless Genius at the scene combined was incomparable to a single Qin Nan still.
The difference between their status was like the distance between the Heavens and Earth.
It was how the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm had always been.
“HAHA, Cultivator Qin Nan, you’ve indeed impressed us…”
Several Supreme Elders walked up to Qin Nan with wide smiles.
Qin Nan greeted them and left the crowd. He headed for Wan Xiao and Xu Xianzhi. Zhao Lijian and the rest of the Peerless Geniuses immediately left in a panic. They did not dare to stay any further.
“Qin Nan, you’re so impressive. I really mean it!”
Wan Xiao blurted out. The man never ceased to amaze him every time he saw him.
Qin Nan wore a calm smile. He looked at Xu Xianzhi and said, “Xianzhi, I’ll be away for some time as I have something to attend to. You can contact me with this badge if you need anything.”
Many people immediately cast a jealous glance at Xu Xianzhi.
Xu Xianzhi giggled and teased, “Sure thing, I can now act recklessly in Shangxingtian with this badge.”
Qin Nan coughed and said, “I already have a lot of enemies…”
The two talked briefly before Qin Nan waved his hand and excused himself.
He had already told the Blood-Eye Human Immortal that they would be departing for the Fourth Small Immortal Realm before coming here.
Xu Xianzhi let out a sigh watching Qin Nan as he left.
The two had only known one another for less than five years, yet Qin Nan was no longer just a little Human God. He had reached a level which she had to look up to.
The distance between them continued to widen.
It was a sorrowful thing about the Martial World. As a person’s cultivation continued to improve, they would have to move on to achieve greater heights. Even if their friendship persisted, they would have fewer chances to meet one another.
Wan Xiao was also wearing a complicated look.
Back then, the man was willing to share the benefits he had acquired with him without any hesitation.
But now, Qin Nan had started to distance himself from him.
Wan Xiao suddenly regretted for not keeping his promise.
The series of events that took place on the dojo soon spread across the Sky Taihuang Sect, the Sanqing Ancient Sect, the Heaven Illusionary Ancestor Sect, and many other factions in the Shangxingtian Small Immortal Realm like a great storm.
The experts and geniuses were startled.
No one would expect that the name that was slowly fading away had reappeared once again with great brilliance.
Meanwhile, the third realm in the Sky Taihuang Sect…
“Master, I believe the other Supreme Daoism factions are going to be dumbfounded by the news soon.”
Supreme Chang Xiao grinned as he imagined the reaction of the authorities of the other Supreme Daoism factions.
“Sigh, I’m afraid that won’t be the case. Feiyue just asked me to make sure not to let any piece of information about Qin Nan show up in the Ten Thousand Immortal Dao Badge,” Daoist Qianjue said with a sigh.
“What?”
Supreme Chang Xiao was shocked, “The price to seal off the news related to a person from the Ten Thousand Immortal Badge is insane, and it can only last for ten years at most! Why would she do that?”
Daoist Qianjue seemed a little confused too, “I tried asking her, but she only told me that she had discovered something. She said that now is not a good time for Qin Nan to attract any attention, but she was reluctant to tell me anything else.”
Supreme Chang Xiao’s lips twisted.
It indeed sounded like something that the woman would do.
Soon, the other factions realized that they were unable to insert any piece of information related to Qin Nan into the Ten Thousand Immortal Badge.
However, they were not suspicious of it at all. They simply assumed the Sky Taihuang Sect was trying to hide it on purpose to take the other Supreme Daoism factions by surprise when the time came.
Meanwhile, an ancient city in the Shangxingtian Small Immortal Realm…
Long Xuanling greeted an old man in the run-down inn respectfully and went inside. He soon saw the South World Immortal Emperor with an icy aura.
“Congratulations Immortal Emperor, you are soon going to become a Nine Heavens Supreme!” Long Xuanling brought his fists together and said with a smile.
“You are surprisingly informed.”
The South World Immortal Emperor said calmly, “Anyway, let’s get down to business. Qin Nan had indeed given us a huge surprise. How are the preparations for the plan you mentioned before?”
Long Xuanling’s eyes flickered viciously as he spoke, “After Qin Nan reforged his Dao Foundation, the Sanqing Ancient Sect and the Heaven Illusionary Ancestor Sect immediately held an emergency meeting. They were planning to take Qin Nan out.”
He said after a brief pause, “However, their resources are limited.”
Qin Nan had reforged the Dao Foundation, making him a threat to the Sanqing Ancient Sect and the Heaven Illusionary Ancestor Sect, but that was all he was.
These factions had their own Exceptional Geniuses too.
Therefore, it was still too early to tell who was going to become the winner in the end.
Most importantly, it was extremely difficult to murder a core disciple of every Supreme Daoism faction, especially those that were regarded as an Exceptional Genius.
“So you’re saying that we don’t have a chance to kill Qin Nan. Everything we’ve done so far is a waste of our time?”
The South World Immortal Emperor’s eyes turned cold.
A terrifying aura surged in all directions like a raging tide.
Long Xuanling was startled. He quickly focused to barely withhold the pressure.
He was quite shocked too. The South World Immortal Emperor was indeed extraordinary, as expected of the seven Peerless Rulers who came right after Empress Feiyue in terms of strength.
“Not necessarily, I have learned some information from the Sky Taihuang Sect. Qin Nan has gotten his hands on the Dark Underworld Wood, and is on his way to the Fourth Small Immortal Realm,” Long Xuanling said.
“Oh?”
The South World Immortal Emperor raised his brows.
“I believe Immortal Emperor knows the Fourth Small Immortal Realm better than I do. Now that Qin Nan has risen again, it would be very tricky to murder him since those old men of the Sky Taihuang Sect are not going to allow it, but once he went to the Fourth Small Immortal Realm…”
Long Xuanling added after a brief pause, “Besides, we can also inform the other Supreme Daoism factions of Qin Nan’s whereabouts, and have them do the dirty job instead.”
The South World Immortal Emperor nodded, “That does sound plausible.”
He suddenly thought of something. His eyes flickered coldly, “But, that won’t be enough. Once I become a Nine Heavens Supreme, you will come with me to the Fourth Small Immortal Realm. I’ll kill him with my own hands.”
He was quite confident that Qin Nan was the person that destroyed the South-Heaven Gate.
The South-Heaven Gate meant a lot to him. He would have achieved the Nine Heavens Supreme Realm by now if it wasn’t for Qin Nan. Besides…
Long Xuanling was startled, but he soon let out a hollow laugh.
Oh, Qin Nan, how are you going to escape this time?
