The Worldâs Imperious Ruler and his crew were startled. They never thought Duan Qing would be willing to share such precious information with them.
Previously at the Dragon Palace Dojo, the three had not believed him at all and had even treated him with slight disdain.
In addition to that, Duan Qing had already helped them once.
âFrom where you are now, take three steps forward and youâll trigger a trap. On the left corner of the trap, youâll find a blue talisman. Destroying the talisman will destroy the trapâŠâ
Qin Nan took a glance at the map and immediately transmitted his voice.
âCultivator Duan Qing, Iâm sure I donât need to say anything more. If you need any help in the future, let me know. Iâll help you with everything I have without hesitation.â
The Worldâs Imperious Ruler took a deep breath and said.
He was not a narrow-minded person. Under the circumstances, it was better to accept Duan Qingâs kindness and repay it in the future.Â
âLetâs go.â
The three did not waste any time. They immediately followed the instructions and proceeded forward.
Many traps and forbidding auras were triggered instantly, but unlike before, the three managed to weave among the traps and forbidding auras freely.
Even though their pace was not comparable to Qin Nanâs, in just less than a few dozen breathsâ time, they had easily overtaken Sheng Tianjing, Zhuang Cidao, and Old Man Kongwu who were closest to the front.
The Martial Monarchsâ eyes were filled with envy upon seeing this. If they had been willing to lend Duan Qing a hand before, they would be the ones crossing the traps and forbidding auras.
In addition to that, the final doubt in their heart was shattered. Duan Qing did have a map of the Golden Dragon Valley.\nâHAHA, Cultivator Duan Qing, youâve wholly impressed all of us today. Even I have misjudged you. On top of that, is Cultivator Duan Qing willing to tell me the way? If so, I, Sheng Tianjing, will owe you a favor.â
Sheng Tianjing was the first to react. He burst out laughing and looked at Qin Nan with glistening eyes instead of his previous disdainful look.
âCultivator Duan Qing, please help us too. If you need any help in the Abstruse God Space or in the half-God region, Iâll provide you my full assistance.â
Zhuang Cidao brought his fists together and spoke gently in a respectful manner.
âCultivator Duan QingâŠâ
Old Man Kongwu, Frost Queen, Martial Monarch Cangsong, and the rest of the Martial Monarchs could no longer hold their ground. They immediately asked Qin Nan to help them and some even urged him to speak his conditions.
Even though Duan Qingâs achievement had given everyone a great slap to their faces, resulting in a slightly awkward situation, they were willing to apologize, lower their stance and promise some benefits if they were able to obtain the method of crossing the valley.
After all, a head start was extremely important in any forbidden ground. Those with a head start, even with weaker cultivations than everyone else, usually ended up acquiring the fortunate encounters and successions in the forbidden ground.
âThis goddamned Duan QingâŠâ
Among the Martial Monarchs, only Xuesha, Taoyan, and Leiyuan remained silent. Their expressions kept on changing, as their hearts were experiencing complicated feelings.
Obviously, they were eager to learn the method too.
The question was, would Duan Qing tell them?
Absolutely not.
âFellow cultivators, itâs fine to tell you the method, but on one condition. Anyone who kills Xuesha, Taoyan, and Leiyuan will be told the method.â
Qin Nan glanced at the trio and spoke with a hollow laugh.\nâDuan Qing, youâŠâ
Xuesha, Taoyan, and Leiyuan were stunned. They did not expect Duan Qing to set them up so viciously.
âWhat is it?â
Qin Nanâs expression remained unchanged.
He had never been fond of using any tricks, but the three had tried to set him up, which had almost cost him his chance of entering the Dragon Soul Ancient Palace. As such, he would not forgive them easily.
âHAHA, Cultivator Duan Qing, leave it to me!â
âCultivators, please forgive me!â
âDie!â
The Martial Monarchs in the Three-clawed Blue Dragon Lower Section quickly reacted and teamed up after exchanging glances with one another. They executed shocking attacks aiming at the three without mercy.
The trio was infuriated, but they had no choice but to execute forbidden arts to resist the approaching danger.
âCultivator Duan Qing, it would be troublesome for those of us in the Four-clawed Red Dragon Middle Section to kill Xuesha and his friends. Do you have any other requests? Weâll be more than willing to fulfill them.â
Sheng Tianjing spoke once again.
He desperately wanted to get his hands on the method.
âFor those in the middle section, itâs fairly easy to get the method. You just have to kill Sheng Tianjing.â
Qin Nan said calmly.
He had always remembered what Sheng Tianjing had done to him in the Dragon Emperor Clan.
âWhat? Me? Duan Qing, since when did I share a conflict with you?â
Sheng Tianjing was startled, who almost doubted if he had heard it wrong.
Even when they were at the Dragon Palace Dojo, he had only looked down on Duan Qing in his heart. He had not humiliated Duan Qing with words, nor did he try to harm Duan Qing.
âThereâs nothing between us. Itâs just that Iâm not too fond of you.â\nQin Nan said expressionlessly.
âNot fond of me?â
Sheng Tianjingâs expression stiffened.
âCultivator Tianjing, please forgive me.â
âHehe, Tianjing, donât blame it on me.â
âHAHAHA, Cultivator Tianjing, itâs time for me to see how strong your three Martial Spirits are.â
At that instant, Zhuang Cidao, the Frost Queen, Martial Monarch Cangsong, the Boundless Sea of Agony, and the others wore strange expressions as they unleashed tremendous attacks aiming at Shen Tianjing.
Although Sheng Tianjingâs identity and potential were shocking, they would still attack him if the benefits of doing so outweighed the risk they were taking.
âDuan Qing, we must have had some conflict in reality. Donât let me find who you areâŠâ
Sheng Tianjing wore an extremely unpleasant look.
Not only had he failed to get the method, but he was also being flanked by the cultivators around him. It was very likely that his cultivation flesh would die today.
However, before he could finish his sentence, the waves of attacks devoured his figure like a raging tide.
A series of explosions took place in the Golden Dragon Valley.\nTranslator: XephiZ
