Chapter 1736: Rude Remarks

A while later, Qin Nan followed Changkong to the main hall. He greeted Supreme Chang Xiao and Immortal Emperor Duling. The former nodded with a smile, but the latter harrumphed coldly with an obvious displeased look.

Qin Nan frowned seeing this.

It was his first time meeting Immortal Emperor Duling. How did he even step on the man's tail?

Supreme Chang Xiao placed the bronze cup in his hand down and said calmly, "Qin Nan, I believe it's your first time coming to the Realm of Taihuang. What do you think?"

Qin Nan said after a slight ponder, "It's an eye-opener."

He was indeed impressed along his journey here.

The magnificent immortal palaces, mountains, and cities. The faint presence of the formations around the place, and the three stunning Blessed Immortal Lands were unforgettable as soon as he landed his eyes on them.

If he was to compare, even ten Realm of the Sky were incomparable to a single Realm of Taihuang. The two were clearly not on the same level.

"You've learned how to fawn upon people instead of focusing on walking the right path," Immortal Emperor Duling said coldly.

"Immortal Emperor, you..."

Qin Nan's expression turned cold. He immediately tried to refute the statement.

Even if the man was an Immortal Emperor, it did not mean he had the right to slander him, right?

Supreme Chang Xiao wore an awkward look. He quickly interrupted, "Qin Nan, Junior Brother Duling isn't having a great mood today, so he's a little harsh with his words. Please don't mind it."

He gave Immortal Emperor Duling a warning look after finishing the sentence. He then smiled and said, "Alright, let's not waste our time here. Here are the things you need."

Supreme Chang Xiao flicked his finger, firing a purple-golden storage bag into Qin Nan's hand. Qin Nan took a deep breath before directing his Divine Sense into it.

Inside the spacious bag were three thousand resources with shocking immortal auras and glimmers.

An ancient wood, in particular, that was five zhang long, entirely black, covered in countless runes with the shape of a ferocious dragon was emitting a strong presence of the Underworld. It completely stood out among the resources.

"Thank you, Patriarch, I will try my best if you need my help in the future!"

Qin Nan brought his fists together sternly.

Immortal Emperor Duling was even more displeased by the words.

If they need his help in the future?

Did he really think their Sky Taihuang Sect would need the help of someone whose Dao Foundation had been destroyed?

The kid was clearly taking the undeserved gain for granted!

"HAHA, you better stick to your promise."

Supreme Chang Xiao burst out laughing. He did not treat Qin Nan's promise too seriously. He asked in an indifferent tone, "Qin Nan, what's your plan next?"

After all, Qin Nan was his honorable disciple, making him Qin Nan's honorable master. It was reasonable for him to know what Qin Nan had in mind.

"Patriarch, I'm going to the fourth Small Immortal Realm," Qin Nan said.

He had no intention to keep it a secret.

"The fourth Small Immortal Realm? You're a disciple of the Sky Taihuang Sect. If you're planning to go there, be sure not to tell the others who you are."

Supreme Chang Xiao advised. He did not explain it further. He waved his hand and said, "Changkong, please escort Qin Nan to the exit."

Qin Nan expressed his gratitude and left with Changkong.

Supreme Chang Xiao was the Patriarch of a Supreme Daoism faction, thus it went without saying that he had lots of matters to attend to. Immortal Emperor Duling was the only person left in the hall after Qin Nan and Changkong left.

"Damn it, do I really just let that kid take the Dark Underworld Wood so easily?"

Immortal Emperor Duling wore a dark expression. He was struggling to accept it.

His eyes suddenly flickered as a thought crossed his mind.

"Based on what the Senior Brother told me, he had only given the Dark Underworld Wood to Qin Nan to keep his promise. If that's the case, I bet he would just turn a blind eye if I find a way to take it back from Qin Nan."

Having this thought, Immortal Emperor Duling took out a badge and transmitted a message, "Stop cultivating, there's something you must do now! Your father tried to get you the Dark Underworld Wood, but now...you have to..."

He grinned after he was done transmitting the message.

It was not reasonable for him to take the Dark Underworld Wood back from Qin Nan since he was a Peerless Ruler. Besides, since Qin Nan was his Senior Brother's honorable disciple, he was basically a core disciple of the Sky Taihuang Sect.

He could not afford to get too much attention.

However, if it was his son who was also a core disciple doing it, things would be different.

Meanwhile, inside a cloud in the Realm of Taihuang...

Changkong looked at Qin Nan and said with a smile, "Junior Brother Qin seems to be in a good mood today. Why don't we check out the tournament that's happening right now?"

Qin Nan shook his head and said, "Senior Brother, I have something important to attend. I will go with you next time."

Changkong nodded. He did not say a word further.

A few whooshes were heard as twenty-nine immortal rays soared up into the sky from a city below and intercepted them.

Qin Nan quickly glanced around. The twenty-nine cultivators were all very young. Thirteen of them were peak Human Immortals, while the others were Earth Immortals.

Two of them had achieved the eighth-layer Earth Immortal Realm and mastered the Four Extremities.

"Junior Brother He, you and your men are pretty bold to dare intercept us."

Changkong was speaking with a calm voice, but his words were accompanied by a great pressure.

Not only did he have an extraordinary background, his cultivation was outstanding too. He had achieved the peak Earth Immortal Realm and the Greater Success Stage of the Dao Realm.

"Ugh, Senior Brother Changkong, we aren't here to intercept you. It's just something that..." The young man whom Changkong called Junior Brother He said.

Normally, he would not dare to do such a thing even if he was given ten guts.

Changkong remained silent. Before the young man finished his sentence, he flung his sleeves, unleashing a magnificent immortal glow into the sky. It turned into a raging tide pouring down on the disciples.

The disciples of the Sky Taihuang Sect were allowed to use violence when there was any dispute. However, they were not allowed to humiliate or injure one another.

Whoosh!

A sharp sword glow swept forward like a sea serpent rising from the water and punctured the magnificent immortal glow.

Changkong and Qin Nan both sensed something and turned to the other direction.

"HAHA, Senior Changkong is imposing as usual! Senior Brother Changkong, forgive them. I was the one that asked them to intercept you. It's not their fault!"

A young man wearing a long blue robe with short black hair, a scar on his left chin, and three purple-golden pendants hanging on his waist showed up. He was accompanied by a strong bloke around five zhang tall and a beautiful woman in a green dress.

The young man was the one speaking.

"Mm?"

Qin Nan raised his brows slightly.

The three had also achieved the peak Earth Immortal Realm, but they had only achieved the Minor Success Stage of the Dao Realm.

However, they were most likely the core disciples of the Sky Taihuang Sect since they were able to have such impressive achievements at their age.

"Junior Brother You, why are you trying to intercept us?"

Changkong frowned.

"Didn't Xiao He tell you? Senior Brother Changkong, why didn't you give Xiao He a chance to finish his sentence?"

The young man who was referred to as Junior Brother You said, "I hope Senior Brother Changkong won't misunderstand us. I didn't ask them to intercept you. I only asked them to intercept..."

The man's tone suddenly turned cold as he said with a hint of disdain, "The Strongest Immortal, Qin Nan."
