Peerless Battle Spirit

Chapter 1748 - Sudden Danger

Qin Nan was greatly relieved after hearing the response.

If the Ten Thousand Layer Immortal Pagoda did not have information on the three things he was looking for, he would be clueless about where to look for them.

“How can I trade for their information?” Qin Nan asked after withdrawing his thoughts.

“You do know how valuable Immortal Blessing resources are, and I don’t mind telling you that the Eight-Eyed Yin and Yang Flower and the Immortal-Repelling Tree are at the same place, so it’s quite convenient for you.”

Xu Lai said with a smile, “That being said, a deal is always a deal for the Ten Thousand Layer Immortal Pagoda, so we will be honest with you. Even though we know where the Supreme Heart Fruit is, we can’t guarantee you will be able to retrieve it.”

Xu Lai added, “After all, the Supreme Heart Fruit is unlike the other Immortal Blessing resources. It’s very special and extremely rare. Even some of the Nine Heavens Supremes are interested in it.”

Qin Nan nodded.

He spent some time learning about the Supreme Heart Fruit. Its uses were straightforward. It contained an extremely pure Dao Intent and a hint of the will of the Nine Heavens Supreme Realm.

If a Nine Heavens Supreme refined it, not only would it bring the person great benefits, it might even help the person to have a breakthrough.

“Senior Xu Lai, what’s your price?” Qin Nan asked.

“The price is very simple too. You can trade for the information with the saber you have. Of course, your saber worths a lot more than the information, so we are willing to offer you more things based on what you need.”

Xu Lai was cunning like a fox, “The three resources you are looking for are located in two dangerous places. It’s too risky for you to go along. We can assign a Peerless Ruler to look after you.”

Qin Nan’s lips twisted.

The man was still thinking of getting his saber!

“Senior Xu Lai, I’m not going to lie, the saber is extremely important for me. There’s no way I’m trading it.”

Qin Nan took a deep breath.

“I see…”

Xu Lai’s eyes flickered with a hint of disappointment. He let out a sigh and said, “If that’s the case, you may show me something valuable that you’re willing to trade with us. I’ll evaluate its worth. If it’s valuable enough, I’ll trade the information with you.”

Qin Nan took out the Heaven-Repairing Cauldron without any hesitation.

The cauldron was not as huge as before after Qin Nan had refined it. It was only three zhang tall now with a mystical glow. Inside it was pitch-black darkness, the savage beast that was as powerful as a Peerless Ruler was nowhere to be seen.

It was the only valuable artifact he had apart from the Ownerless Heaven Pattern and the Heaven-Shattering Saber.

“Is this…the Heaven-Repairing Cauldron?”

Xu Lai exclaimed after inspecting the cauldron for a while.

“How is it?” Qin Nan asked.

“Wasn’t it destroyed? How could this be possible…”

Xu Lai mumbled to himself. He glanced at Qin Nan with a weird look upon collecting his thoughts, “You’re really lucky to be able to get your hands on it! The cauldron is no ordinary artifact. It’s comparable to the saber you have. It’s valuable enough to be exchanged for the information. It’s actually worth more.”

“But, are you sure? If so, I’ll proceed with the trade,” Xu Lai asked with a stern look.

Even though he was unable to obtain Qin Nan’s saber to satisfy the senior’s request in return for great benefits, it was good enough if he could secure the Heaven-Repairing Cauldron.

There was a chance he would be promoted further since he was made the Fifth Elder for dozens of years ago.

“If so, I guess…”

Qin Nan was about to accept the trade.

However, before he could finish, a deep roar suddenly came out of the Heaven-Repairing Cauldron as if the beast was infuriated. It was displeased by Qin Nan’s decision of trading it away.

In addition to it, an icy voice echoed in his mind too.

“The cauldron is still valuable to us. I’ll give you something that you can trade for the information with.”

It was none other than Empress Feiyue.

“Mm?”

Qin Nan was stunned. He said with a wry smile, “Copper mirror, you’ve helped me so many times. How could I possibly ask for your help for such an insignificant…”

Even though he was feeling it a pity to trade the Heaven-Repairing Cauldron away, he was unwilling to ask the copper mirror for help any further. After all, they were just friends. He could not afford to keep taking from her.

“Since when are you so courteous with me? If you insist, you can just get rid of the Red String of Three Lifetimes. We’ll part ways from here.”

Empress Feiyue’s voice was even colder.

“This…”

Qin Nan was left speechless.

She was blaming him for not asking for her help?

“You can just owe me another favor,” Empress Feiyue said imposingly, as if she would not allow Qin Nan to go against her will.

“Well…alright.”

Qin Nan’s lips twisted. He had no choice but to accept it even though he was unwilling.

Based on his understanding of Empress Feiyue’s character, if he rejected her offer, the relationship between them would surely come to an end.

“Show him this symbol,” Empress Feiyue said.

A strange symbol appeared in Qin Nan’s mind and stayed there.

The Red String of Three Lifetimes fell silent.

Qin Nan inspected the pattern for a while. He collected his thoughts and withdrew the Heaven-Repairing Cauldron. He said in an apologetic tone, “Senior Xu Lai, I’m sorry, my friend just asked me not to trade the cauldron away, but don’t you worry, I have something else for you.”

Xu Lai did not lose his temper. He remained smiling. He asked intriguedly, “Oh? Something else? Please show it to me.”

He had spent many years in the Ten Thousand Layer Immortal Pagoda and made lots of deals, yet it was still rare for him to reach a deal that involved relatively high stakes. He also saw many people regretting it after agreeing with the deals.

Qin Nan closed his eyes and unleashed his immortal force. He gathered the immortal force at the tip of his finger and drew the strange symbol in the air.

To his surprise, even though he was drawing the symbol with his immortal force, it felt extremely real as if it really existed.

“Senior Xu Lai, what about this symbol?” Qin Nan asked when he was done drawing it.

Despite that, he already knew what the man would say.

If Empress Feiyue had given him the symbol, it went without saying that the symbol was no ordinary thing. It was surely valuable enough to trade with the information of the three resources he was after.

“The symbol, could it be…”

As Qin Nan had expected, Xu Lai’s eyes widened while his face was filled with astonishment as soon as he saw the symbol.

However, Xu Lai’s expression shifted as he collected his thoughts. He wore an icy look as he snapped, “Qin Nan, die!”

He unleashed his immortal force and performed a hand seal. Ancient swords like snakes appeared in the air and lunged at Qin Nan and the Blood-Eye Human Immortal.

Both Qin Nan and the Blood-Eye Human Immortal were dumbfounded.

Qin Nan, in particular, was utterly confused. Why did Xu Lai suddenly attack them after seeing the symbol?

Even so, Qin Nan quickly reacted when he sensed the danger. His right arm transformed into the Heaven-Shattering Saber.

“Break!”

Qin Nan’s blood-red hair drifted in the wind as he slashed forward.

A snowy-white saber intent swept forward and shattered the swords.

“Xu Lai, what are you doing? Why are you attacking us all of a sudden?”

Qin Nan’s expression turned cold too.

“Why am I attacking you? Are you seriously asking me that? Impressive, you still possess such a formidable strength even when your Dao Foundation has been destroyed! However, you will die today still!”

Xu Lai’s aura continued to rise. The room shook vigorously under the pressure of the first-layer Heaven Immortal Realm.

“Black Snake Sword Art!”

Xu Lai moved in a strange pattern. Ancient swords like snakes appeared in his hands out of nowhere. The swords shifted continuously, as if they had transformed into real ancient snakes.

“You’re being unreasonable, I guess I won’t be showing any mercy then!”

Qin Nan’s eyes burst into immortal flames. His aura skyrocketed as if he was the only existence left. The saber in his hand unleashed a formidable might.

Fifth form of the Divine God of Battle, the Dao-Jolting Saber Art!

BANG BANG BANG!

A series of explosions took place. A great force surged in all directions. Even the room that was made of ancient materials collapsed and turned into dust.

In just three seconds, the ancient snakes were all destroyed by Qin Nan’s imperious saber intent. Xu Lai was forced to back away too. He quickly executed a Dao Art to defend himself.

However, he was like a turtle in a jar. He had no chance of escaping from the attack!

Following a huge blast, he was sent flying as the saber intent landed on his chest. He slammed into the wall and fell out of the hall.
