Chapter 504 - The Progenitors Arrive (1/2)
“Now is not the time to rank up. Otherwise, the entire Ninth City would face total destruction!”
Qin Nan withheld the urge of his Nascent Soul with his thoughts.
Previously, when he had triggered the three-layered Tribulation, even the Death Emperor—who only possessed a hundredth of his full strength—was almost killed by it.
Now that his Nascent Soul had evolved into the Nascent Soul of the Divine God of Battle, it went without saying that the Tribulation would be even more terrifying.
“Thank you for the help for the past few days.”
Qin Nan rose from the ground and brought his fists together facing the Aquamarine Crystal, which was only a tenth of its original size.
The Weapon Spirit of the Ninth City became joyful after seeing his action.
This guy was finally leaving.
BANG!
Following a loud explosion, a huge gap slowly opened above Qin Nan’s head, allowing the chamber to become bright.
Qin Nan stomped his foot on the ground and exited the hole. He immediately saw Fan Hao and Ji Wuming and brought his fists together, “Two seniors, I’m about to have my breakthrough soon. I will need to pay a visit to the Heavenly Barrier Mountain Range. I’ll be back once I’ve overcome it to participate in the Vermilion Bird Platoon Selection.”
“A breakthrough soon?”
Fan Hao and Ji Wuming subconsciously glanced at Qin Nan’s figure and discovered his aura to be even more terrifying than before.
“Qin Nan, don’t rush it. An inspector from the Vermilion Bird Platoon will be here soon. It would be good if you’re able to meet him first. You should conceal your aura for the time being.” Fan Hao’s eyes flickered as he spoke in a calm tone.
Ji Wuming nodded his head in agreement.
As a matter of fact, Fan Hao’s words were nothing but lies. The Vermilion Bird Platoon was strict in following their schedule, thus they would never arrive beforehand. He was only using it as an excuse to keep Qin Nan here.
It was important for Qin Nan to stay in order for their plan to be successful.
“Is that so…” Qin Nan mumbled. He took a glimpse at his Nascent Soul and said, “Seniors, I’m only able to withhold my aura for another three hours. If the inspector is not here by then, I must leave. Otherwise, the entire Ninth City would be destroyed.”
Qin Nan said the words with utter sincerity.
However, both Fan Hao and Ji Wuming wore indifferent expressions on their faces.
The entire Ninth City would be destroyed because of your Tribulation?
Were you joking?
The Ninth City was a Sacred Weapon, not to mention the fact that there were many cultivators inside the city.
That being said, they did not display their emotions on their faces. Their first priority was to bring Qin Nan back to the Fan Clan.
Under their guidance, Qin Nan returned to the Fan Clan. He did stumble into Fan Yu along the way, who immediately stayed a distance away from Qin Nan instead of behaving in a scornful manner like before.
Fan Hao brought Qin Nan to the Patriarch’s Hall of the clan. Fan Xinru immediately came over with an excited expression while asking Qin Nan about his experiences after cultivating at the Aquamarine Chamber.
“What’s going on…”
Qin Nan frowned slightly. He could tell that Fan Hao and Ji Wuming were behaving strangely, but he could not tell exactly why he felt that way.
Meanwhile, the Nascent Soul of the Divine God of Battle inside his body began to growl, as if it was telling Qin Nan that it desperately wanted to rank up.
Time gradually passed. Two hours were gone in the blink of an eye.
Qin Nan’s forehead was covered in a cold sweat. The resistance from the Nascent Soul grew stronger, as it was taking a greater effort for him to withhold his aura.
“Seniors, how much longer will it take the inspector to arrive?” Qin Nan could not help but ask.
“Soon, very soon…”
Fan Hao immediately blurted out while waving his hand. As soon as he said the words, the badges on his and Ji Wuming’s waists shuddered violently at the same time. After checking the badges with their Divine Senses, both their faces were filled with excitement.
