Chapter 1714: The Secret Meeting Between the Authorities
"Well, Feiyue, please calm down first, master already said that he didn't expect the man in a gray robe to be hiding a slash within a slash, that's why..."
Supreme Chang Xiao said with a wry smile. He completely lost his bearing as a Patriarch and a Nine Heavens Supreme.
Even until now, the people of the Shangxingtian Small Immortal Realm only knew that Empress Feiyue was an Honorable Elder of the Sky Taihuang Sect, and the strongest Peerless Ruler.
Even Envoy Feng Hua and Vice Patriarch Hua Yu thought so too.
However, little did they know, Empress Feiyue had been chosen by the person that had been deeply asleep toward the end of the Nameless Realm, the person whose cultivation had achieved that specific level.
If Empress Feiyue wanted, Supreme Chang Xiao would have to pass his role to her.
Besides, his master and four other people were particularly fond of Empress Feiyue since she was just a Heaven Immortal. They were extremely keen to recruit her.
However, she rejected all their offers, including the person that was deeply asleep.
As such, she was the only person in the Sky Taihuang Sect, or even the entire Nine Heavens Immortal Realm to talk so rudely to his master.
"Aren't you embarrassed?"
Empress Feiyue remained expressionless.
The old man at the leading spot and the other two Supremes felt their lips twitching.
On second thought, it was indeed a little embarrassing.
"Feiyue, you might not know, the man has the Dao-Transforming Immortal Flames. He managed to escape with his soul even though master had destroyed his flesh. He's most likely the successor of the Ninth Immortal," Supreme Chang Xiao said with a frown.
"He is no successor, he is the Ninth Immortal," Empress Feiyue said coldly.
"What?"
The two Supremes were shocked.
Things were a lot more serious than they thought if the man in a gray robe was the Ninth Immortal.
Every person that was titled as one of the Immortals surely possessed a terrifying strength beyond the Supreme Realm.
Not to mention that the man was ranked ninth among the Immortals.
Furthermore, why would a person like him bother showing up?
The Ancient Taboo, the primordial ancient tribes in the second and the third Immortal Realms, and the first Immortal Realm...
"How can you be sure he's the Ninth Immortal?" the old man frowned.
"Forget it, I bet you won't even tell us the reason, but at least you should tell us why the Ninth Immortal has come just to kill Qin Nan, even if it meant having his flesh destroyed," the old man patted on his forehead.
"Not a clue."
Empress Feiyue's eyes flickered with doubts too.
It was quite obvious that she was bothered by the same question too. The others might be unaware of Qin Nan's background, but she was very clear about it. Qin Nan was the successor of the Fifth Immortal.
Which meant, the Ninth Immortal had no reason to harm Qin Nan.
Besides, how terrifying was the Fifth Immortal back in the days?
Why didn't he leave some precautions to help Qin Nan overcome the danger?
"Nevertheless, I've come here to tell you that even if I'm no longer in the Shangxingtian Small Immortal Realm. It's in your best interest to provide your full support to Qin Nan."
Empress Feiyue withdrew her thoughts and said coldly, "Otherwise, you'll regret it for the rest of your life."
She vanished into thin air upon finishing the sentence.
"Master, what did Feiyue mean by that?" Supreme Huanglei was utterly confused.
Qin Nan had lost his Dao Foundation. He could only become a Peerless Ruler at most. If he wanted to become a Nine Heavens Supreme, it would take him lots of time and incredible fortunate encounters.
"There's no point guessing. Feiyue is right, if anything happens, we'll have to provide Qin Nan with full assistance. The fact that the Ninth Immortal has come to kill him simply means he's no ordinary person. Perhaps he can actually achieve the Greater Success Stage of the Dao Realm and reclaim his glory."
The old man said with a calm smile, "Besides, the fact that Feiyue is so fond of the kid alone is enough."
The two Supremes nodded. They grinned as a thought crossed their mind.
Didn't the Supreme Daoism factions plan to get their revenge from Qin Nan after the Battle of the Strongest Immortal?
If Empress Feiyue who had ascended as a Nine Heavens Supreme knew about it, the Supreme Daoism factions would learn the definition of fear.
Meanwhile, a fiery sky in the Shangxingtian Small Immortal Realm...
Qin Nan and his crew were heading to the mysterious Supreme Cave Abode at a rapid pace under the lead of the three Immortal Emperors.
Qin Nan saw various kinds of sceneries along the journey. He remained speechless. It was difficult to tell when he would loosen the grip on his clenched fists.
He had gone through all sorts of difficulties.
He was only able to come so far because many people that were important to him had sacrificed themselves for him.
However, he had lost half of it to a man in a gray robe that appeared out of nowhere.
He would be lying if he said he did not hold a grudge against the man.
If Qin Nan found out who the person in a gray robe was, he would swear the Immortal Demon Oath that he would get his revenge from the man.
"Brother Nan, I don't know what to say, but life is filled with lots of ups and downs. An ancient saying is quite spot-on, "If there's no wind and rain, how could we see...see..."
Qiu Hong suddenly forgot the second half of the expression. He immediately wore an awkward look.
"The stunning rainbow."
The Red Zither Immortal Emperor turned around and said with a chuckle.
"Ugh, right, how could we see the stunning rainbow without the wind and rain? That Godly Purple Bird is blind as a bat. I will always believe in Brother Nan..."
Qin Nan reached his hand out and patted on Qiu Hong's shoulder amid his speech. He wore a calm smile with immortal flames flickering in his eyes.
How could he possibly give up when it was only his Dao Foundation being destroyed?
He had come so far since he had only awakened a first-grade Huang-ranked Martial Spirit at the start.
Besides, he was the successor of the Divine God of Battle, he still had the mysterious Ownerless Heaven Pattern in his mind and the mysterious purple crystal...
"Right, the crystal!"
Qin Nan was startled.
The crystal suddenly appeared when he fully ascended as an immortal. He also saw the mysterious figure toward the end of the galaxy.
Even though he had no clue why the crystal had appeared, but based on what the Beast Hide Drawing had mentioned, the crystal might be the key to resurrecting Princess Miao Miao and Jiang Bilan.
Qin Nan took a deep breath and wore a stern look.
So what if his Dao Foundation was destroyed?
He could just come back again!
Besides, he would be even stronger when he returned!
He would no longer have to hide from his enemies. He would show the Supreme Daoism factions how many Arts of Dao Seeking he had mastered!
As for now, his first priority was to bring the two beautiful women back to life.
