Peerless Battle Spirit

Chapter 1038 - Longhu Cave

As Princess Miao Miao had mentioned, as Qin Nan arrived at the Eastern Continent, he could sense a formidable force targeting him.

Even a Martial Monarch Realm expert was no match against it.

Qin Nan who had been expecting this immediately withdrew his aura and suppressed his cultivation to the peak Martial Sacred Realm. Following this, the force from before disappeared as well.

“I never thought I would be coming back here in this situation.”

Qin Nan exclaimed in his heart as he saw the familiar sight around him.

He was actually quite a traditional person, who insisted on only returning with glory. Initially, he had planned to return after reaching the Martial Monarch Realm in the Monarch Horoscope Contest and stunning the world.

“Princess, let’s go!”

Qin Nan shook his head to get rid of the thoughts as his gaze became cold.

He was prepared to massacre his enemies!

Qin Nan and the Princess headed straight in the direction of the Sky-Scorching Ancient Kingdom.

Prior to his return, the Sky-Scorching Ancient Kingdom had become the strongest faction of the Eastern Continent. Apart from Zhou Bihua, the Sky-Scorching Emperor, and the others whom Qin Nan was familiar with, there were other Martial Sacred Realm experts that had the faction too.

Furthermore, the younger generation had slowly risen.

The overall strength of the faction had continued to grow.

Qin Nan stood above the clouds and scanned the entire kingdom with his left eye. A while later, he frowned.

“I didn’t see anyone suspicious.”

Qin Nan said.

“Mm, neither do I.” Princess Miao Miao withdrew the force in her hand and said while blinking, “Should we return to the lower district or ask them?”

She was referring to the Sky-Scorching Emperor and the others.

Qin Nan hesitated for a while before shaking his head.

Now was not the time for a reunion.

The two immediately headed to the lower district, which only took them a few hours.

Under Qin Nan’s investigation, he soon discovered some news.

Nothing significant had happened in the lower district in the past few days, allowing Qin Nan to let out a relieved sigh. If something were to have happened to his father, the entire lower district would definitely be in a great chaos. Therefore, his father seemed safe for now.

In addition to that, Qin Nan also learned that many new factions in the lower district had begun to surface too. Although the Mystic Spirit Sect was still considered the strongest faction, it did not stop the other factions from developing.

Besides, Qin Tian had resigned as the Sect Leader.

Even Qin Nan’s old friends had decided to move to the Eastern Continent instead of staying in the lower district.

Qin Nan had already expected this, as Huang Long and the others would not be satisfied with staying in the lower district for the rest of their lives.

“Let’s take a look at the Mystic Spirit Sect.”

Qin Nan nodded at the Princess before he tore a rift and landed at the Mystic Spirit Sect.

The Mystic Spirit Sect now had an enormous entrance, surrounded by a strong presence of Qi. Countless disciples were cultivating.

Qin Nan went forward and stopped a young man, “Do you know where Sect Leader Qin Tian is?”

“What are you trying to do?” The young man was alerted instead of answering his question. He quickly held a talisman in his hand.

Qin Nan smilingly said, “Don’t worry, I’m quite a close friend with Old Shan, Huang Long, Xiao Leng, Chu Yun, and Xiao Qingxue.”

The young man was astounded.

He quickly collected his thoughts. Old Shan had stopped involving himself in worldly matters for many years. Only the disciples of the Mystic Spirit Sect knew of his existence.

As such, the young man was most likely their Martial Uncle’s friend.

“Senior, sorry for my attitude. Please forgive me.” The young man immediately brought his fists together and said, “Sect Leader Qin Tian is no longer at the Mystic Spirit Sect. He has been traveling around the lower district and the Eastern Continent. I’m not sure where he is exactly right now, but you can try your luck at Linshui City.”

“Linshui City, huh?” Qin Nan nodded before he brought his fists together and said, “Thanks.”

Following this, the two leapt into the rift and headed straight to Linshui City.

The young man was left with a blank expression, as he did not expect them to be able to teleport through a rift.

“Wait!”

The young man suddenly realized, Why did he look so familiar?

Could it be…

His face was filled with astonishment.

Had the legend of the lower district returned?

…A few moments later, in Linshui City…

Unlike before, the current Linshui City was extremely huge, crowded with cultivators.

The reason being that the place was where the legend of the lower district—or the legend of the entire Eastern Continent—had risen, thus many cultivators who admired him would visit the city.

As soon as Qin Nan arrived, he could see a giant statue of himself standing at the center of the city.

“Why does every place have your statue? They’re so ugly.” Princess Miao Miao giggled.

Qin Nan shrugged before he immediately scanned the place with his left eye.

He was slightly startled after taking a glimpse.

Qin Tian was currently in the Qin Clan, but unlike before, its surroundings were filled with invisible forbidding formations.

The formations were strong enough to hold off Martial Sacred Realm experts.

Did the Sky-Scorching Emperor and his crew set them up?

Qin Nan’s mind was filled with doubts as he led the Princess to the main hall where Qin Tian currently was.

“How are they doing? I’m sure that those three kids have great potential…”

Qin Tian was discussing something with Tie San.

Their cultivations had long reached the Martial Ancestor Realm. However, they could no longer improve due to the limitations of their Martial Spirits.

“Father!”

Qin Nan’s eyes flickered with excitement.

Even though he had become the legendary genius of the Eastern Continent, he could not help but feel excited when he saw his father.

Qin Tian and Tie San raised their heads and were stunned, but soon became overjoyed.

“Young Master!”

“You little brat, why did you come back today?” The smile on Qin Tian’s face soon vanished as he straightened his face and snapped, “You should never turn back after setting foot on the path of cultivation. If you constantly think about your home, how would you be able to reach the peak? You——”

Qin Nan felt extremely awkward after being scolded.

Tie San’s smile remained.

“Uncle, I insisted on letting Qin Nan bring me here. You don’t need to blame him.” Princess Miao Miao went up to Qin Tian.

“Mm? Princess Miao Miao? Come and take a seat.” Qin Tian’s expression changed immediately when he saw the Princess. He became extremely friendly, as if she were his own daughter.

“Miaomiao, how was the Middle Continent? Did this little brat give you any trouble? I know my son’s character, as stubborn as an ox. Do be patient with him…”

Qin Tian began to mumble.

Princess Miao Miao did not seem to be bothered. She sat quietly, nodding at times while responding with a smile, causing Qin Tian to feel extremely delighted.

“Cough cough, father.”

Qin Nan uttered a cough and said with a stern look, “Has anything suspicious happened lately?”

Qin Tian frowned as he heard this before he spoke, “Did you offend someone in the Middle Continent?”

“Let’s not talk about that for now.” Qin Nan shook his head. There was no way he would tell his father that he had offended more than thirty Two-Starred Factions at once. Otherwise, he would be extremely worried.

“I knew that something wasn’t right since you must have returned for something important.” Qin Tian shook his head and said, “Lately, there were many strangers keeping an eye on our clan, but one day, a mysterious cultivator appeared and killed them all.”

“A mysterious cultivator?”

Qin Nan’s gaze became cold first before he was astounded.

“Father, have you met this mysterious cultivator?” Qin Nan asked.

“He came to the Qin Clan and asked me not to set foot outside for a few days. He also told me that he’s staying at the Longhu Cave. If anything happened, he would be here in time.”

Qin Tian glanced at Qin Nan and said, “He must be your friend, right? He has helped us a great deal, thus we should really thank him…”

Qin Nan and the Princess glanced at each other with blank faces.
