Peerless Battle Spirit

Time passed gradually. Three days later, Qin Nan successfully returned to the Anti-Heaven Alliance through the Seven Luminaries Sword Talisman.

Along the way, apart from a few groups of cultivators trying to rob him, Qin Nan did not encounter any danger; it was a rather smooth journey.

However, as soon as Qin Nan arrived, an unexpected change took place.

A monarch glow came from the Anti-Heaven Palace, which transformed into a small golden figure that gazed down at Qin Nan.

"Elder Qin Nan, in the name of the Vice Hall Leader of the Anti-Heaven Palace, I order you to come to the Anti-Heaven Palace at once to attend an urgent meeting."

The golden figure spoke. The voice belonged to the Illusionist Martial Monarch.

"Running out of patience already?"

Qin Nan squinted.

It did not take him by surprise. He was well aware that the Illusionist Martial Monarch would not let him go so easily.

"I would like to know what they’re trying to do."

Qin Nan immediately made up his mind and proceeded forward.

A few breaths later, Qin Nan stepped into the main hall of the Anti-Heaven Palace. He raised his head and saw the Illusionist Martial Monarch sitting at the center, with Martial Monarch Mingkong and Martial Monarch Rongtian beside him.

It was as if they were trying to apply pressure to Qin Nan and that the moment he entered, their bodies unleashed monarch auras that surged in his direction.

"Elder Qin Nan, I believe that your trip to the Heavenly Arcana was fairly rewarding?"

The Illusionist Martial Monarch said with a calm face, just like a normal conversation.

Martial Monarch Mingkong and Martial Monarch Rongtian's eyes flickered as they fixed their gazes on Qin Nan.

It was the legendary Heavenly Arcana. In the past, there were people who had managed to find their way in, but none of them had managed to return. Qin Nan was the first to come back alive.

Therefore, the three Martial Monarchs were keen to know what Qin Nan had found in the Heavenly Arcana.

"Hall Leader Illusionist, I'm afraid the rumors have been inaccurate. There isn't any treasure in the Heavenly Arcana."

Qin Nan said in a calm tone.

"It looks like this Qin Nan has definitely found something incredible in the Heavenly Arcana."

The three Martial Monarchs were not too surprised by Qin Nan's statement. They exchanged glances with one another and reached a conclusion.

Qin Nan would be left speechless if he knew what they were thinking. He was only speaking the truth—the Heavenly Arcana had no treasure at all.

"Elder Qin Nan, we'll keep this direct. We were very impressed by your performance there. However, Mingkong, Rongtian, and I are currently at a critical stage of our cultivation. We need help from the Heavenly Arcana Immortal Fruits. It's not just for us, but for the entire Anti-Heaven Alliance as well. Why don't you give us eight Heavenly Arcana Immortal Fruits each?

"Of course, if Elder Qin Nan is willing, we won't dwell on the past between us any further.

"On the other hand, if you disagree, I won't be able to tell what could happen next."

Martial Monarch Rongtian took a sip from his tea and said with a calm smile.

The first two sentences were spoken with a calm tone, but the tone of the third sentence was slightly heavier. It was clear what he was trying to imply.

The Illusionist Martial Monarch and Martial Martial Monarch Mingkong enjoyed their tea in silence.

They had come to with the decision among the three of them.

Initially, according to the Illusionist Martial Monarch's idea, they would team up and rob Qin Nan all of the Heavenly Arcana Immortal Fruits.

However, Martial Monarch Mingkong and Martial Monarch Rongtian had disagreed with this.

The reason was that Qin Nan had displayed his outstanding talent. He was no doubt the strongest Martial Progenitor, thus they would have to deal with him carefully. Besides, they could no longer do as they wished like at the Upper Arcana Sacred Mountain, thus they had decided to demand that Qin Nan give them eight fruits each.

On top of that, even though Martial Monarch Mingkong and Martial Monarch Rongtian were not too fond of Qin Nan, they did not share a great conflict with him like the Illusionist Martial Monarch did. As such, as long as Qin Nan was willing to compromise and lower his stance, they had no reason to target him further.

Qin Nan grinned when he heard the words.

These three Martial Monarchs were even more shameless than he had expected.

Eight Heavenly Arcana Immortal Fruits each would cost him twenty-four in total, yet they were asking him to hand them over that easily?

Besides, he had no intention of letting go of the past either!

He was not a saint and he would not forget how the others had mistreated him with ease!

He would respect those who respected him in return. However, for those who mistreated him, he would return the favor tenfold!

"Fellows, please don't try to threaten me with the Anti-Heaven Alliance. My words stay the same. If you want the Heavenly Arcana Immortal Fruits, come and take them yourselves. Now, if you would excuse me!"

Upon finishing the sentence, Qin Nan immediately flew out from the Anti-Heaven Palace with a flicker.

Staying any further would be a complete waste of his time.

"This..."

Martial Monarch Mingkong and Martial Monarch Rongtian were stunned.

They had given Qin Nan such a great offer, but not only did Qin Nan reject it, he even ignored their existence and left straight away?

"See that? We shouldn't have given him a chance from the start!"

The Illusionist Martial Monarch wore a cold expression, although his heart was leaping in joy.

"Who would have thought that this Qin Nan would be so arrogant and disrespectful!"

Martial Monarch Rongtian’s face darkened as he collected his thoughts!

"The kid has shown us no respect several times. We have to do something. Illusionist Martial Monarch, what's your plan?"

Martial Monarch Mingkong wore an unpleasant face as well. His eyes flickered with slight murderous intent.

"I do have a plan, but I'll need your help to approach the other Martial Monarchs. If we were able to gather six Martial Monarchs, according to the rules, we could expel Qin Nan from the Anti-Heaven Alliance. After that, we can do whatever we want to him."

The Illusionist Martial Monarch said in a cold tone.

"I would have almost forgotten about that if you hadn’t mentioned it. That will do."

Martial Monarch Mingkong and Martial Monarch Rongtian's eyes flickered as they nodded.

However, Qin Nan was clueless about what was happening in the Anti-Heaven Palace.

After he left the Anti-Heaven Palace, he paid a visit to the Star Aligning Palace to hand in the quest, before making his way to the Mystic Treasure Palace.

"Elder Qin Nan, greetings. What can I do for you?"

Wei Ming immediately showed himself as soon as he sensed Qin Nan's presence. He brought his fists together in a respectful manner.

Qin Nan cast a surprised glance at him, but he did not overthink it and handed over a storage bag, "Elder Wei Ming, please exchange these for contribution points for me."

Wei Ming received the storage bag and quickly scanned it. His eyes flickered with astonishment as he spoke, "One hundred and twenty Heavenly Arcana Spiritual Fruits and seven Heavenly Arcana Sacred Fruits?"

He did not expect Qin Nan to hand over such a fortune.

"Elder Qin Nan, these will sum up to one million six hundred and fifty thousand contribution points. I'll help you with the paperwork right away."

Wei Ming quickly collected his thoughts and turned around.

"Wait, Elder Wei Ming, could I ask you the value of this thing?"

Qin Nan flipped his hand and took out a Heavenly Arcana Immortal Fruit.

"Is...is this the legendary Heavenly Arcana Immortal Fruit?"

Wei Ming simply glanced at it, but his attention was completely attracted by it. His eyes glistened.

The Heavenly Arcana Immortal Fruit. He had only seen it in ancient books.

"Phew, it's such a shock that you've managed to find a Heavenly Arcana Immortal Fruit. It's very precious. You can't even find it on the market. You could easily exchange it for six hundred thousand contribution points!"

Wei Ming was still breathing heavily.

"Oh? Six hundred thousand contribution points?" Qin Nan's eyes flickered. The value of the Heavenly Arcana Immortal Fruit was far higher than he had imagined. He flicked his finger and handed over another storage bag, "Then please help me to sell all of these."

"Sell all of them?"

Wei Ming was stunned. He subconsciously scanned the contents of the storage bag.

Following a glance, it felt like the clap of thunder from the Nine Heavens had exploded in his mind.
