Chapter 9 - A Coincidental Encounter (2/2)

As Qin Nan was practicing his skills, a faint voice was suddenly heard from the front.

Ever since he had made a breakthrough to the fourth-layer of Body Tempering Realm as well as strengthened his viscera, Qin Nan had noticed that his vision, hearing, along with other things, had significantly improved. Essentially, any movement within the circumference of twenty meters can be easily detected by Qin Nan.

“Let’s check it out,” decided Qin Nan as he retracted his aura. His figure was like a demon as he quietly followed the voice.

Not long after, a group of people appeared before Qin Nan. Within the group of people were three middle aged burly men, they gave off the aura of a third-layer Body Tempering Realm cultivator. Furthermore, the opposite party’s expression revealed a certain corruptness, it was evident that they have been killing people for over a long period of time.

Between the three middle aged burly men was a young girl.

Draped over the body of the young girl was a white fur cape and an indigo colored long skirt. This revealed the details of her curvy and delicate figure.

However, the young girl’s face was filled with impatience and arrogance.

Qin Nan was shocked as he saw this young girl, “It’s her?”

Qin Nan recognized this girl and was more than familiar with her. The name of this young girl was ‘Fang Xue’ and she was the daughter of the Patriarch of Fang Clan.

The Qin Clan and the Fang Clan were recognized as the two major clans within Linshui City. Both clans possessed a “Xiantian Realm” expert, their subordinates had limitless potential as well as an endless amount of disciples. Furthermore, the Qin Clan had only emerged within the ten or so years after Qin Tian came to power whereas Fang Clan had a history of one hundred years, this in itself was extremely frightening.

In the past, there was a rumor that there was an exceptional genius who had an eighth-grade Huang ranked Martial Spirit within the Fang Clan. However, whether this information is true or not was unknown as there was no proof.

Ever since the rise of Qin Clan, the two families had been in a small strife. That was also how Qin Nan had met Fang Xue on several occasions before, it was just that they never properly established a friendship.

“What is she doing here?” Qin Nan was suspicious.

Half a month ago, when the Qin Clan had their Martial Spirit Awakening, the Fang Clan also had it during the same time as well. The Fang Clan was not as regarded because the matter of Qin Nan, an exceptional genius, awakening a waste of a Martial Spirit attracted the attention of everyone else.

The Fang Clan was also very low-key, they didn’t let out much news.

However, since the Fang Clan has awakened their Martial Spirits, they should be staying within the Clan to carefully cultivate and increase their cultivation. Why did she suddenly bring a few personal guards with her to Longhu Mountain Range?

As Qin Nan was being suspicious, Fang Xue suddenly questioned in a sharp tone, “Are we still not there? Did you three idiots properly check the map? If you were to bring me to the wrong place, this young lady will not forgive you!”

“Miss, we didn’t go to the wrong place. Other than the shabby cavern that we came across, there really are no other caverns. It’s possibly...it’s possibly because this map is fake…” One of the middle-aged burly man reasoned with his face filled with bitterness.

“What?” Fang Xue’s complexion turned cold, “How could the map I brought with me be fake? You better properly look, and if you don’t find it, then at that time, this young lady will properly teach you a lesson!”

The three middle-aged burly men wiped the sweat off their foreheads as they promptly nodded, scattering off into different directions in order to search for it.

One of the middle-aged men was walking towards the direction of Qin Nan.

Qin Nan remained as still as ever while concealing his figure. To find Qin Nan with the current cultivation of the middle-aged man was practically impossible. There was a qualitative difference between a third-layer Body Tempering Realm practitioner and a fourth-layer Body Tempering Realm practitioner.

Additionally, from the brief conversation between the Fang Clan’s servants, Qin Nan was able to determine that the opposite party’s objective was the same as Qin Yu and Qin Xiao; to search for treasures within Longhu Mountain Range.

Qin Nan was slightly curious, he wanted to see what kind of treasure would they find.

At this moment, the middle-aged man who was walking toward the direction of Qin Nan suddenly stopped in his tracks. He gazed toward Qin Nan’s location and said with a voice filled with a killing intent, “Who is it? Show yourself immediately!”

Qin Nan’s face slightly changed. They had actually discovered him?
