C26 (1/2)

It had already been a few days since the bloody battle at Jade Gate Pass, and the entire Chu Kingdom knew of it now. Qiao Nan could not stand up to the Imperial Family's repentance for his marriage, had betrayed the country, and was surrounded and annihilated by the army led by Chang Zhongyu.

The entire imperial court was shaken. The most respected marquis of the Chu Kingdom had actually chosen to betray the nation, and it was even the State of Ling Yun which had the vengeance of murdering one's father.

The current king was furious and ordered for Qiao Nan to be stripped of his title as Marquis of Tianwu and be demoted to a bastard from then on.

However, when Chu Jun went to retrieve the person from Jade Gate Pass, the Qiao Family's Black Arm Army was long gone …

”Ai, poor Marshal Qiao's glorious name, to actually have such an unfilial son.”

”Even a traitor wouldn't be able to vote for Lingyun. This piece of trash should have been beaten to death by Sun Qian.”

”A popinjay is still a popinjay, in the end, he's still a good-for-nothing.” ”How disappointing.”

The whole of Chu Kingdom was cursing at Qiao Nan. He was shameless, had betrayed the entire country, and was acting as Qiao Shuang's son.

The capital of the Chu Kingdom, the Dugu Family.

”Speak, what happened?” Dugu Yunlong had a head full of silver hair, and a faint trace of anger could be seen in his eyes.

He absolutely did not believe that Qiao Zhentian's son would do something so outrageous as colluding with the enemy and betraying the nation.

Dugu Heng was kneeling on the ground, and under his father's imposing manner, his body couldn't help but tremble slightly. He said to Dugu Yunlong, ”Father, Chang Zhongyu was sent out as a supervisor to attack Lingyun Army, but suppressed the Black Arrows. By the time your son found out, it was already too late.”

After he finished speaking, Dugu Heng lowered his head.

He knew the position of the Qiao Family in his father's heart. Qiao Zhentian was his most prized disciple, so he had a special feeling about the Qiao Family.

”I understand. You can leave now.” In an instant, Dugu Yunlong looked like he had aged several dozen years. With just Chang Zhongyu alone, he dared to go against the Heaven Martial Marquis?

The dirtiness of the government made him feel powerless. Since then, Dugu Yunlong had taken care of his illness at home and would never take up his post again.

In the distant wilderness, a person was quietly lying down.

It looks like Ling Yun wants to borrow my hand to destroy Chu Kingdom!

Qiao Nan thought carefully, and knew that Ling Yun had kept him here on purpose.

If the Heavens do not destroy me, then I will destroy the Heavens! Chu Kingdom, wait for my return.

Qiao Nan clenched his fists, and rode on the continent alone. His black cape rustled in the wind, his black hair danced wildly, and a hint of determination appeared in his eyes. He wanted to become stronger, so he wanted to go to the Octoterra Institute.

During the journey, he went out for meals and slept through the night and day, heading to a place called the Octoterra City.

Along the way, Shen Feng gradually began to understand why it was called the Eight Desolations. Wasteland, Wasteland, Wasteland, Wasteland, Wasteland

This was not a scam, who would build a city in the desert?

Qiao Nan looked at the vast desert in front of him, and the cursing in his heart became more and more serious.

Qiao Nan had followed the map the entire way, and the more he walked, the more he felt that something was amiss, and the more they went, the rarer it became. Now, he had directly arrived at the desert, and the most shitty thing was that the map actually ended there.

That's right, the destination of the map was this desert.

Don't tell me you want me to find the Octoterra City in this desert.

The desert was soft and hot. With every step he took, steam would rise up along his feet.

”Hiss, hiss.” The thousand li horse walked in the desert with clear disobedience and was unable to walk. After walking for a while, the horse sank into the ground. Its hooves were burning red. The horse whinnied, unwilling to continue any further.

Damn, you gave up so easily? I haven't given up on your master yet, get up.

With a ”pa” sound, Qiao Nan slapped the horse's butt, causing the horse to raise its head up and down. He kept hooting as if he was saying, ”F * ck, I'm not leaving no matter what. If you have the ability, don't ride me and come down to walk.”

”Ai, it's so hot. Coincidentally, you're not leaving. I'll kill you and beat your teeth for a sacrifice.” Qiao Nan wiped the sweat off his forehead and muttered to himself.

When the horse heard Qiao Nan mumbling to himself, its eyes suddenly turned round, and it shook its head with all its might, as if it was protesting against Qiao Nan.

F * ck, it's really hot.

Qiao Nan dismounted from his horse and stepped onto the desert. A wave of heat passed through his shoes and reached his feet.

”Forget it, Brother Ma. You've carried me for so long, so it's not appropriate to kill you. Leave.” Qiao Nan untied the Thousand-Li Horse and untied it from his back, flattering it.

The front hooves of the horses were hooting, but they didn't want to leave.
