Chapter 24 - Kill’Em All (1/2)

It was exactly as Qin Nan had observed; Elder Bai Heng’s cultivation had reached the Xiantian realm, leaving him only a step away from a Martial Emperor.

His aura exploded toward the crowd as if a huge boulder was pressuring them, giving them a suffocating feeling.

Everyone’s expression changed slightly, their eyes filled with terror as they looked at Elder Bai Heng.

Elder Bai Heng showed no expression; he did not even glance at Qin Nan as he said, “What Fang Rulong said—is it true?”

An unusually large pressure was created with these few words.

The people of the Qin Clan wore horrible expressions, their eyes staring at Qin Nan as if they were scared he would say something disrespectful.

After all, even they were having a huge conflict with Qin Han.

If Qin Nan were to enrage Elder Bai Heng, the only outcome would be death, but he could also drag the Qin Clan to death with him.

Qin Nan, if you want to die, you should die alone. Why would you drag us all with you?

At this particular moment, the disciples, deacons and elders of the Qin Clan were filled with hatred toward Qin Nan, only they were not brave enough to reveal it.

No change was seen in Qin Nan’s expression, as if the aura from Elder Bai Heng had no impact on him.

Under everyone’s glare, Qin Nan rose and gave Elder Bai Heng a bow, before saying with a sincere tone, “Elder Bai Heng, I have no intention of vengeance. I believe Young Master Fang Rulong had a misunderstanding. If I have troubled Young Master Fang Rulong, please accept my apology.”

After Qin Nan finished this sentence, he gave another bow in the Fang Clan’s direction.

Elder Bai Heng’s expression calmed down after the apology. He even felt a sense of satisfaction when Qin Nan bowed his head. He waved his hand and said, “Don’t worry; although you’re trash, you still have some manners. Let’s forget it and continue the duels.”

As Elder Bai Heng’s aura diminished, everyone’s breathing finally returned to normal.

After seeing Qin Nan—the Young Master of the Qin Clan, the past genius of Linshui City, who was now the ultimate trash—bowing his head and apologizing, the Fang Clan were delighted, their faces turning red with excitement.

On the other hand, the disdain on Fang Rulong’s face grew even more.

Even if your cultivation has reached the fifth-layer Body Tempering Realm, and you have mastered the ‘Greater Success Stage’ of ‘One with the Saber’, so what? If I—Fang Rulong—want you to bow your head, then you must do it.

In contrast, the Qin Clan were feeling relieved.

The disciples, deacons and elders were giving Qin Nan an amiable look.

This was especially true for Qin Changkong, who initially thought Qin Nan would play a dirty trick at this critical moment and drag him to death. However—unexpectedly—Qin Nan took responsibility and apologized immediately, which even satisfied Elder Bai Heng.

“Looks like I should change my plan. Once I’ve joined the Mystic Spirit Sect, I will only get rid of his cultivation base—instead of taking his life. I believe Qin Nan would thank me for sparing his life…” Qin Changkong thought to himself, who straight up reduced Qin Nan’s penalty.

Immediately after, the duelling tournament continued to take place.
