Chapter 1101 - Deep Inside the Mountain Range
“Have you found the place?”
Qin Nan read the message as a brilliant saber glow was unleashed from his body.
“I am the saber, slashing in four directions!”
Following a roar, the saber glow suddenly exploded into a thousand streams of saber intent firing in all directions like a heavy downpour.
Qin Nan quickened his pace and flew into the distance.
The red-headed man, Miao Shan’s trio, and a few other experts who had just arrived were started as they immediately reacted to shatter the saber intent. When they looked up, Qin Nan’s figure had already disappeared into the distance.
“Chase after him!”
The people made up their minds, but Qin Nan was too fast for them. The distance between them continued to increase, and a few hundred breaths later, Qin Nan’s figure had completely vanished from their sight. They could not even detect the dragon aura from the Dragon-Shaped Golden Lock.
“Damn it!”
The red-headed young man and the rest of the geniuses wore unpleasant looks.
Since they had lost sight of Qin Nan, it was hard to tell when they were going to stumble into him again.
“Seventy-fifth ranked Cultivator Liu Wei, one hundred and third ranked Cultivator Yang Wen, Cultivator Song Hua, and Cultivator Zhu Wen, why don’t we work together?” Miao Shan said smilingly.
“Work together?” Liu Wei cast a sideward glance at her, while Yang Wen, Song Hua, and Zhu Wen looked surprised.
“You heard me. Qin Nan has not lost his cultivation. I don’t think we stand a chance against him if we stumble into him on our own. Why don’t we cooperate and track him down? As for the golden lock, we will compete for it among ourselves after that?” Miao Shan added.
Liu Wei, Yang Wen, Song Hua, and Zhu Wen were intrigued hearing this.
“You can track him down?” Liu Wei asked.
Miao Shan’s smile instantly blossomed as she spoke, “I bet you’ve forgotten my identity.”
Meanwhile, in the woods far ahead…
Qin Nan was completely unstoppable. Although he did stumble into some cultivators along the way, their strength was too weak compared to Miao Shan and the others, thus he was able to knock them away with a single move.
“I finally reached the place.”
Qin Nan saw a giant mountain range in the distance. He withdrew his aura and proceeded toward it.
He soon arrived in a valley surrounded by densely-populated woods, with a flowing river and covered in wild grass. It was indeed a well-hidden place from the surface.
“Mm? The valley is actually constructed with several forbidding formations.”
Qin Nan’s eyes flickered.
The forbidding formations were formed naturally, which possessed great power. It would be impossible to discover the place without an outstanding eye-technique. Even if it were exposed, they would also have a hard time entering the place.
Qin Nan took his steps forward in an astonishing manner as he followed the formation and arrived at a cave. His eyes were filled with shock as soon as he went inside.
The cave was eight-zhang deep and four-zhang tall, filled with a thick golden monarch Qi.
The Skeleton Xiao Hong, the two hounds, one mouse and the rest were sitting with their legs crossed and cultivating.
“It seems like this cave was purposely left here by the Monarch Ranking. It’s possible that this space would have similar places too…”
Qin Nan pondered.
After all, even the first-ranked Shi Qingfan would not be able to handle all the cultivators after claiming the golden lock. He would need to hide himself in concealed places like this.
“I’ll help you seal off the aura of the golden lock. Otherwise, we won’t be able to stay here for too long.” Skeleton Xiao Hong suddenly spoke.
“You’re able to seal its aura?” Qin Nan wore an astounded expression. He had tried to seal the Dragon-Shaped Golden Lock’s aura, but it hadn’t worked.
Skeleton Xiao Hong waved her hand, causing a green hat to float out and encapsulate the Dragon-Shaped Golden Lock. Following this, the streams of dragon aura disappeared.
“It can only last for four hours.”
Skeleton Xiao Hong said.
Qin Nan was slightly startled. He never thought the green hat had such capabilities apart from strengthening him.
However…
Didn’t Skeleton Xiao Hong know too much?
Did that mean she still had the memory of her past life as a half-Martial God?
“Either way, you’re my master now, right?” Skeleton Xiao Hong asked in a calm tone.
“That’s right.”
Qin Nan gave her a thoughtful look before he spoke after a slight hesitation. He sat down on the ground and began absorbing the monarch Qi.
The monarch Qi was incredibly rare and precious. According to Qin Nan’s speculations, it would serve as a great help to him when he was about to secure the Monarch Horoscope.
…Meanwhile, in the surroundings of the Mountain Range…
Many cultivators who were tracking down the dragon aura were stunned when it disappeared. They clenched their teeth and continued to search the place thoroughly.
In addition to that, many cultivators were also making their way toward the mountain range.
Many among them unleashed Martial Spirits with appearances similar to mirrors as they searched the place. Some also summoned ancient bugs, blood spirits, talismans, etc. which were useful in tracking down their target.
Time gradually passed. Three hours had passed…
Qin Nan and his crew were still absorbing the monarch Qi in the cave.
In the valley, Liu Wei finally snapped with fiery eyes as he ran out of patience, “Aren’t you the Young Mistress of the Shadow Pagoda? Why can’t you track him down yet?”
Yang Wei, Song Hua, and Zhu Wen wore dark expressions as well.
Miao Shan was currently holding an ancient disk which was marked with eight directions, each floating with an illusionary demon. However, the demons remained motionless.
“Don’t worry, he must be hiding somewhere here. However, we can’t detect the golden lock’s aura. He must have sealed it.” Miao Shan said calmly.
“Seal the golden lock? How are we able to find him then?” Liu Wei was startled.
“It’s fine. According to my speculations, the golden-lock won’t be sealed for too long. Otherwise, what’s the point of setting up this stage?” Miao Shan looked perfectly calm.
It did sound reasonable to the others as they pondered for a moment.
“Young Mistress, behind us…”
The two young men behind Miao Shan transmitted their voice.
Miao Shan glimpsed at her back and saw nothing in her sight. However, she could sense quite a number of cultivators hiding behind them.
The cultivators were not slow-thinkers either. They were aware of Miao Shan’s identity, thus they believed that she could track Qin Nan down.
“Don’t worry about them. They might come in handy later.”
Miao Shan’s eyes flickered with a vicious expression.
At that instant, a stream of dragon aura could be sensed from one of the directions.
Miao Shan, Liu Wei, and the rest of the geniuses searching in the mountain range were startled.
The eight demons on the ancient disk on Miao Shan’s hand suddenly let out silent roars.
The howls of the demons, deciding the ownership of the Jiang Mountain.
They’d found Qin Nan!
