Chapter 1753: Meeting Old Friends

Unlike before, ahead of them was a magnificent forest.

Every ancient tree in the forest was around fifteen zhang tall, some even grew up to thirty zhang. Their trunks were firm and thick, and every leaf contained a certain kind of ancient will.

According to the map, the Eight-Eyed Yin and Yang Flower and the Immortal Repelling Tree were in the deepest area of the forest.

On top of it, there map also specified a warning.

The place was extremely dangerous. Over the past two thousand years, more than thirty Peerless Rulers and hundreds of peak Heaven Immortals had died there.

Qin Nan took a deep breath. He treated the warning seriously as he entered the forest with the Blood-Eye Human Immortal.

As they ventured deeper, they could sense a faint mystical energy suppressing their auras. The energy eventually dissipated.

Even if a Peerless Ruler was to use their Divine Sense or eye-techniques, they would have difficulties noticing their existence.

It was actually in their favor.

A few hours were gone fairly quickly.

Qin Nan and the Blood-Eye Human Immortal gradually went deeper. The magnificent ancient forest began to reveal its fangs too.

The attractive resources scattered across the place all had great danger waiting for them.

Even Heaven Immortals would struggle to overcome some of the danger.

"Qin Nan, there's a strong blood scent ahead. Many people are fighting there!"

The Blood-Eye Human Immortal sniffed with a stern look.

Qin Nan was startled.

Did someone have their eyes on the Eight-Eyed Yin and Yang Flower and the Immortal Repelling Tree too?

Could they be the people of the Primordial Tribes?

Having this thought, he quickly unleashed his immortal force to speed himself up.

A while later, he soon discovered several figures fighting one another with the help of his eye-technique.

Many among them were engulfed in flames of different colors. Meanwhile, a bunch of them had the word 'Primordial' (古) of different colors and depth carved on their foreheads. Another group had illusionary figures floating behind them.

There were more than a hundred of cultivators, each with a formidable strength. There were only a few peak Human Immortals, as most of them were Earth Immortals. Some were even Heaven Immortals. too

Even if they could not hear any noise, they could still feel the powerful blasts as the attacks clashed, producing strong gusts sweeping at the surroundings.

The ancient trees nearby were destroyed by the strong wind. The whole area was beyond recognition as it further cleared up into a small battlefield.

"Qin Nan, those people of the Primordial Tribes engulfed in flames are most likely from the Nongyan Tribe. What should we do now?"

The Blood-Eye Human Immortal said with a stern look.

Every Primordial Tribe was too formidable for ordinary cultivators to take on, let alone one of the Hundred Great Primordial Tribes.

Meanwhile, Qin Nan was quite relieved. Judging from the situation, those cultivators had yet to obtain the Eight-Eyed Yin and Yang Flower and the Immortal Repelling Tree.

He was about to speak when a voice appeared not far behind them.

"Old man, what are you trying to do? Who do you think I am? Do I even need your help? Are you out of your mind!? Don't you worry, now that I am here..."

The person was unable to finish his sentence as if someone had covered his mouth.

Qin Nan was slightly startled. Why did the voice and the tone sound so familiar?

"Hehe, fellow cultivators ahead, I believe you have noticed the three Primordial Tribes fighting ahead. You're going to die if you go up to them now, why don't you consider working together with I, the Eight Brilliance Demon..."

The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor was dragging a young man with him as he walked out from the woods and headed toward Qin Nan. However, his smile froze when he saw Qin Nan turning around.

In addition to him, the young man struggling to break free from him froze too.

"Qin...Qin Nan? Why are you here?"

The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor and the young man blurted out simultaneously.

"What a coincidence? I didn't expect us to come together in the Fourth Small Immortal Realm too. That being said, how did you two know one another?"

Qin Nan was amused when he saw the two cultivators. His eyes flickered curiously.

The young man beside the Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor was none other than the core disciple of the Illusionary Immortal Dao Gate—Xiu Shenliang.

He had quite a strong impression of Xiu Shenliang among the Peerless Geniuses during the Tide of Ascension.

The man had a bad mouth. Even when he was defeated, even when he knew his cultivation was no match against the others, he still could not control the urge to mock the others.

"Hehe, Qin Nan, how fateful are we!? As for how Xiu Shenliang and I met, it's quite a long story. I happened to be...run!"

The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor was explaining with a surprised look. However, he suddenly screamed and fled for his life.

"Qin Nan, I'm in a good mood today, so I won't be fussed with you. Otherwise, someone like you..."

Xiu Shenliang did not forget to mock Qin Nan while he was running.

The former held a strong grudge against Qin Nan, but was terrified of him too. Nothing good had ever happened every time he stumbled into Qin Nan. He even lost all his crystal stones previously.

He was terrified as he knew he did not stand a chance against Qin Nan, let alone Empress Feiyue who was supporting him.

As such, he had no choice but to run away. He couldn't win against Qin Nan, but couldn't he just hide from him?

The latter was only following the Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor subconsciously.

"Why are you two running away from your old friend?"

Qin Nan said calmly. He flicked his finger and unleashed two incredible saber intents. They tore the rift apart and landed on the ground ahead of the duo, leaving two astonishing ravines.

Qin Nan was familiar with their personalities, especially the Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor who would never allow himself to suffer any losses. He must be up to something if he had shown up here.

Qin Nan just happened to be lacking information about the Sacred Kingdom. Why would he allow the two to escape from him?

"Qin Nan! What are you trying to do!? I've already run away after you did that to me, yet you still don't want to let me go!"

The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor snapped furiously, like a woman who had been mistreated.

"What did I do to you?"

Qin Nan was stunned.

"You..."

The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor was about to burst out cursing but he suddenly recalled something. It seemed like Qin Nan was unaware that he had taken all his crystal stones and possessions.

Meanwhile...

BANG!

A huge blast came from deep within the ancient forest all of a sudden. Following it, the sounds of immortals and demons burst into an uproar and clashed with one another.
