Chapter 428 - The Contest Begins (1/2)

QIn Nan and his companions opened their eyes and glanced in the direction of the voice.

The ones arriving were none other than Xue Wuji and Xue Wuheng.

Both of their cultivations had substantially improved. Their entire figures were emitting a powerful icy force. Every step they took, it caused the surrounding grass to be covered in a layer of ice.

It was evident that they had both managed to find their respective fortunate encounters after arriving at the Qinglong Mystical Ground.

Yan Zihan and Zhou Liqing were slightly startled. They were not afraid of Xue Wuheng, but this Xue Wuji was somehow terrifying.

Qin Nan’s eyes turned cold.

He clearly remembered how Xue Wuji and Xue Wuheng had been acting shamelessly while denying their loss of the previous bet by abusing their strength.

However, before Qin Nan could make his move, Princess Miao Miao suddenly spoke, “Tsk tsk, where did these two shameless pricks come from? Not willing to pay their debts after losing the bet. The Princess has indeed learned a thing or two from them. Impressive, very impressive.”

The expressions on the faces of Xue Wuji and Xue Wuheng immediately stiffened.

If it were Qin Nan, Yan Zihan, or the others saying this, they would surely attack without hesitation. However, they could not measure the cultivation of this Princess Miao Miao. It was highly possible that she possessed greater strength than them.

“Humph, cut the nonsense. Only an hour left until the succession of Sacred Leader Qinglong is activated. That will be the time for you all to beg for mercy!” Xue Wuji said in a cold tone while standing aside.

All traps had been laid successfully. Qin Nan, do you think you still have the chance of surviving this time?”

“I’m waiting.”

Qin Nan said calmly.

Even though Xue Wuji was his enemy, his main focus here was to acquire the body part of the Divine God of Battle. His enemies could wait.

Shoosh! Shoosh! Shoosh!

A series of piercing sounds could be heard all of a sudden.

A bulky bald man wearing a golden robe arrived in an astonishing fashion. Behind him stood a few young men who were all emitting powerful auras while wearing prideful looks.

Yan Zihan and Zhou Liqing were astounded seeing this.

“Isn’t this the son of the ninth Peak Leader who is ranked eighth on the ranking—Han Fei?”

“Why is Li Yunlong here too?”

“……”

They were familiar with the five people who had just arrived. Some of them were ranked in the top ten among the custodians, while the others possessed a formidable background, or even both.

Most importantly, why do these people know this is the location of Sacred Leader Qinglong’s succession?

The eyes of Han Fei and his companions flickered after seeing Qin Nan and his crew. Following this, they turned their heads around to chat with the Xue Brothers. It seemed like they were quite close with one another, as if they were old friends who knew each other from long ago.

“It’s most likely that Yang Taitian is behind all this, gathering his friends here to deal with me.”

QIn Nan mumbled to himself but his face remained calm.

“Yan Zihan, Zhou Liqing, how bold of you to be siding with Qin Nan!” At that instant, a snap could be heard as Yang Taitian and Xiao Hong arrived at the scene.

“Brother Yang! Brother Xiao!”

“Brother Yang, my pleasure to see you!”

“Hehe, Brother Yang, Brother Xiao, you are finally here.”

“……”

Xue Wuji, Han Fei and the others immediately greeted them with respectful attitudes.

Yang Taitian nodded his head while placing his hands behind himself. His eyes locked onto Yan Zihan and Zhou Liqing as he said coldly, “I’m going to target Qin Nan. If you were to side with him, it would mean befoeing me, which would lead to death when the time comes!”

Yan Zihan and Zhou Liqing’s faces turned pale.

It was obvious that these people led by Yang Taitian were here specifically to deal with Qin Nan!
