Qin Nan looked at Long Xuanling and the others.
The man had been trying to hunt him down ever since he knew he was related to the Drought Demon Heaven God. He even went as far as chasing him all the way from the Shangxingtian Small Immortal Realm to the Fourth Small Immortal Realm.
He could not afford to let the man go, even if it meant giving up on the chance to acquire the succession.
âHehe, Qin Nan, itâs time to settle the debt between us.â
Long Xuanling laughed hysterically. He looked at the Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor, Yuanji, and the others with a gentle smile and said, âFellow cultivators, I donât personally hold any grudge against you. Picking on Qin Nan is purely my own intention, and also the intention of Sanqing Ancient Sect and Supreme South World.â
âTherefore, Iâm hoping that you wonât interfere with the matter between us. Go ahead and claim the succession of this place.â
Based on what he knew, Qin Nan had only joined hands with these people recently. Their relationship was based on profits; they were clearly not friends of life and death.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
If he could convince them to leave, Qin Nan and Blood-Eye clearly did not stand a chance against him.
âStop threatening me with the name of Supreme South World and the Sanqing Ancient Sect! As for you? Who do you think you are? Just die!â
The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor wore a disdainful look. He swung his demonic hammer, unleashing a few thousand of hammer shadows lunging at Long Xuanling ferociously.
He might not be a friend of life and death with Qin Nan. He only saw Qin Nan as a friend at most, but he was a Demon Emperor!
A Demon Emperor would put friends first and personal gains last. He would definitely side with his friend instead of with reasonings!
âFellow cultivators, I believe you have strayed from the right path. I shall guide you back to the path of Buddhism.â
Yuanji placed his hands together. Ten illusionary Buddhas floated behind his back emitting blinding glows lighting up the surroundings, followed by Bodhi chants echoing around him.
âI guess itâs meaningless to say anything further!â
Long Xuanlingâs expression darkened. He performed a hand seal, firing thirty-six ancient golden swords from his Divine Sense to establish a sword formation.
The rest of the Heaven Immortals was long prepared for the battle too. They unleashed their immortal force to execute a series of Immortal Arts.
âSuppress!â
Qin Nan made his move too. He utilized the maximum potential of the two Arts of Dao Seeking, directing the tremendous battle intent and the Sky Taihuang Intent onto the Heaven-Repairing Cauldron, granting it marvelous power.
Doom inside the cauldron harrumphed coldly while unleashing his beastly force.
Ling Lanlan, Blood-Eye, and Xiu Shenliang could not participate in the battle; the former continued to use her pure energy to replenish Qin Nan and the othersâ energy.
Blood-Eye and Xiu Shenliang were casting some special Immortal Arts to disturb the Heaven Immortals.
BANG BANG BANG!
Strong gusts swept in all directions.
Even though Long Xuanling and his men were in the fifth-layer Heaven Immortal Realm, they found themselves in an unfavorable situation after a while.
âThe Art of Three Dao King of Beast!â
Doom swung his enormous claw forward at a perfect timing. The rift across a few thousand li shattered into pieces as three magnificent figures burst out from the crack ferociously.
âUltimate Yan Flicker of the Four Lands!â
Long Xuanling was startled. He quickly performed a hand seal.
A tremendous glow burst out of his forehead. An enormous umbrella over eighteen zhang tall that was covered in runes and flickering like a fire appeared and extended to defend him.
âSuch a nice thing you got there! Itâs mine now.â
The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperorâs eyes glittered. He swiftly took out a skeletal hand from his storage bag.
The skeletal hand was different from the tibia he had. The moment it appeared, a terrifying murderous intent surged across the place and formed several blood-red eyes staring coldly at everything like a demon god from the underworld.
âQin Nan, just you wait!â
Long Xuanling showed no sign of panic. He wore a sinister look as he took out a talisman. An invisible force instantly encapsulated him and the Heaven Immortals, before they all vanished into thin air.
âTrying to run away? Heaven-Battling Immortal Eyes, Kill!â
Qin Nanâs blood-red hair drifted in the wind as the white flames in his eyes burned vigorously. A magnificent power of the eyes descended upon the place trying to hunt the enemy down.
âDamn! Qin Nan, stop wasting your energy!â
The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor clenched his teeth and said, âThose cowards were already planning to run away before the battle. Thereâs no way we can catch them now.â
Xiu Shenliang said with pity, âThey are pretty smart. If they were just a second late, I would have stricken them down.â
Qin Nan and Blood-Eye frowned.
They had failed to take down Long Xuanling and his men despite having such a great opportunity. They had no idea how long they would have to wait for the same opportunity to arrive again.
âEveryone, you have my thanks.â
Qin Nan quickly calmed his thoughts. He brought his fists together at the Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor and the others.
Either way, they still ended up winning the battle. After all, the relationship between them had improved significantly. They were no longer just acquaintances.
They were friends.
âWhy are you being so courteous with me? Just give me three-tenths of the loots you manage to find in the land of succession!â
âEight Brilliance, how shameless are you!? Iâm only asking for two-tenths.â
âUgh, I wonât need so much, one-tenth is good enough for me.â
Ling Lanlan tilted her head to the side. She pondered and asked in a probing manner, âWell...can I ask for four-tenths then?â
Qin Nanâs lips twisted.
He was just feeling a little touched by their help, and it was already ruined within an instant!
âAlright, letâs head inside. We have wasted our time long enough,â the Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor urged.
Time was very important in a place like this. They might end up empty-handed if they were late just a little.
âHold on!â
Yuanji suddenly said, âXiu Shenliang, go and compliment the beast.â
Qin Nan and the others were stunned. What was Yuanji trying to do?
âBald donkey, do you think just a few compliments are enough for me to forgive you? Iâm going to tear you all into pieces when the time comes!â
The Moon-Devouring Nine-Headed Hound stared at them coldly.
Xiu Shenliang collected his thoughts. Despite being confused, he said blatantly, âYou mixed-blood hound! Canât you stop barking!? If you dare infuriate me, Iâll cook you into a stew right away...â
His face turned pale immediately.
He initially thought Yuanji was going to use his strange ability to turn his sarcastic remarks into compliments.
It turned out that Yuanji had completely set him up!
âWhat did you just say? Iâm going to kill you, Iâm going to tear you into pieces!â
The Moon-Devouring Nine-Headed Hound went berserk with eyes burning in flames. Its cry echoed across the place.
Unfortunately, it was crying at Xiu Shenliang, who despite the fear in his heart, still blurted out scornfully, âWhatâs with the noise? Youâre so ugly and weak, and you still threaten to tear us into pieces? Iâm telling you, I just didnât want to dirty my hands by killing you...â
The Moon-Devouring Nine-Headed Hound was utterly infuriated. Since when did a mere Earth Immortal dare to treat it, a Peerless Ruler like this?
Meanwhile, Yuanji said while squinting, âSenior Beast Emperor, I bet you wonât tell me how we are going to acquire the best succession and fortune in this place, right?â
