âLetâs go.â
Qin Nan let out a smile. With the distraction of the straw figures, City Lord Zhou and his crew would have a hard time tracking them down.
Qin Nan and his group soon arrived at the burning valley.
âSuch powerful flames! The flames alone could stop cultivators below the third-layer Martial Progenitor Realm from enteringâ¦â Sima Kongâs eyes flickered with astonishment standing in front of the valley.
The giant valley was blazing in a terrifying manner.
Even Sima Kong had to rely on a barrier to resist the force.
As for the two hounds and the Heavenly Fortune Mouse, they were soaked in sweat and panting heavily, not daring to take another step closer.
âBreak!â
Qin Nan uttered a roar.
His aura slashed forward like a giant saber, opening a path in the midst of the flames.
âF**k meâ¦â
âFollow me!â
Qin Nan made a gesture and led the way.
As he proceeded, the flames immediately spread toward the surroundings, revealing a spacious path.
This was possible due to the Heaven-Shattering Saber, which could even create a path in the midst of a godly flame, let alone ordinary flames.
âWeâre here!â
Qin Nan and his crew took a longer path by moving in circles and passing through caves to avoid the traps in the burning valley, before arriving at the end.
Before them stood a pitch-black gap, from which gusts of cold wind could be felt, blocking the flames from advancing further.
âA unique place from a scorching valley and a mountain being torn apart, in the shape of a dragonâ¦â Sima Kongâs eyes flickered as he exclaimed in excitement, âQin Nan, there might be a succession inside this place!â
Hearing this, the two hounds and one mouse became energetic.
âLetâs take a look then.â
Qin Nan remained calm. Whether the place had a succession or not was none of his concern.
With a flicker, Qin Nan and his crew entered the gap, which descended rapidly. A few breaths later, following a crash, they finally landed on the ground.
âIs thisâ¦â
Qin Nan subconsciously raised his head and took a glimpse, causing his eyes to be filled with shock.
Below them was a fiery dojo, and on the other side of the dojo was a clear lake, with different kinds of fish swimming in it. The sides of the lake were planted with strange flowers that emitted a pleasant scent.
A palace could be seen further ahead, which was anciently decorated, as if it had been abandoned a long time ago.
âTsk tsk, this must be some cave constructed by an expert. The personâs cultivation should be at least at the peak Martial Progenitor Realm!â Sima Kongâs eyes burned passionately, âQin Nan, Iâm running out of patience. Iâm going to take a lookâ¦â
He headed straight for the palace.
The two hounds and one mouse exchanged glances with one another before following him.
âThereâs nothing extraordinary in this cave, but itâs very concealed. Maybe I should go into seclusion here.â
Qin Nan lost interest in the place after scanning his surroundings. He sat down on the ground and took out the storage bag, causing his heart to race.
It was time to check out his loot.
After all, it was impossible for City Lord Zhou and his crew to find them there.
âMonarch Crystals, Iâve earned quite a lot of Monarch Crystals!â
Qin Nan counted and realized that he now had two hundred thousand Monarch Crystals.
Meanwhile, Sima Kong might have a significant amount of them too. If he asked him for them, it was possible for him to rank up his Divine Battle Spirit.
âThe force of the Heavens and Earth is sufficient too!â
Qin Nan clenched his fists.
He had accumulated some force of the Heavens and Earth after the series of events at the Magical Thunder City. Most importantly, the rare artifact of the Magical Thunder City was an incredible supply of the force itself, thus if he were to absorb it, the outcome would be spectacular.
It would definitely be helpful toward his Tribulation.
âPhew, letâs see what the second treasure is!â
Qin Nan let out a sigh to calm his thoughts, before taking out the crystal case.
âOpen!â
With a thought, Qin Nan unleashed his progenitor force.
However, his right arm began to vibrate on its own, unleashing a vague Heaven-Shattering aura.
Squeak.
A few rays of light were fired from the surface of the crystal case as the seal on it was deactivated.
Whoosh!
A figure flew out from it as the case was opened, who was none other than the vicious-looking Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch.
The Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch had mentioned that each of his treasures contained his will.
âSenior!â
Qin Nan brought his fists together.
âHumph, donât call me senior, I feel ashamed of you!â The Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch waved his hand displeased, âDid you really have to come up with such a complicated plan to deal with a mere Magical Thunder City? Just wage war against them! That would save you lots of time!â
âSenior, my cultivation is still too weak, thus itâs unwise for me to do so.â
Qin Nan said calmly.
The Divine Battle Spirit wages war against the Heavens and Earth. There is none he does not fight and none he does not win against.
However, that did not mean he would fight everything that he stumbled into.
For example, if he were to stumble into a Martial Monarch or a Martial God, would he want to fight as well?
The problem was that he still couldnât defeat any of them!
The phrase represented that Qin Nan would never be intimidated facing Martial Monarchs and Martial Gods, and would never lower his head before them!
âSigh, forget itâ¦â
The Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch waved his hand, whose expression became even more unpleasant.
Iâm just trying to fool around with this kid, didnât he know how to act along?
âKid, letâs get down to business. This second treasure is quite interesting, which placed me in great trouble before. Therefore, once you return to the Dragon Emperor Clan, if you fail to torture more than fifty beast inner disciples, Iâll never forgive you!â The Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch straightened his face and said in a serious tone.
âTorture fifty beast inner disciples?â
Qin Nan was stunned. Why would the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch ask such a favor all of a sudden?
âKid, my will wonât last too long. Iâve no time to waste on you. Iâm going to see her!â
Before Qin Nan could ask his questions, the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch clenched his teeth and his eyes flickered with excitement as a thought crossed his mind. His figure transformed into a beam of light and flew into the copper mirror.
The âherâ seemed to be referring to the female inside the copper mirror.
BANG!
A brief while later, an explosion took place inside the copper mirror in Qin Nanâs Divine Sense. He could also hear a faint cry in agony.
âThis Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch dared to tease the female inside the copper mirror?â
Qin Nanâs figure shivered, before he shook his head and glanced at the crystal case.
He was curious to know what the treasure lying inside it was.
As he took a glimpse, his eyes were filled with astonishment.
Beastâ¦Beast-Hitting Stick?
