Chapter 2368: Chapter 2454: King Yan of the Ten Halls

Seeing that the Bright Temple’s Azure Dragon War God actually got choked up by a single sentence from him, Chen Nan instantly felt delighted.

He hurriedly turned and said to Su Qingqing beside him, "Girl, hurry and take out your Blood Jade Spider and let Sister Ruoyan have a look."

"Blood Jade Spider?"

Although Su Qingqing was puzzled in her heart, she still, in the blink of an eye, took it out from the Spiritual Beast Bag and handed it to the Poison Empress Zhu Ruoyan.

When the Poison Empress Zhu Ruoyan heard the words Blood Jade Spider, a hint of joy flashed in her eyes.

Just now Chen Nan was only scaring the Azure Dragon War God. If this Azure Dragon War God had some trump card and in an instant charged into the Formation to snatch away the Kui Niu Spirit Treasure Map, the consequences would be disastrous.

If they could form a complete Five Poison Array, that would naturally be the best outcome.

"This Blood Jade Spider is already an adult. You’ve been feeding it with Essence Blood, it’s even stronger than the one I raised before. It’s just right to use in the Poison Array. It’s just a pity the Jade Golden Toad isn’t here, otherwise this Bright Temple’s Azure Dragon War God would have to put in a lot more effort if he wanted to come in."

In an instant, the Poison Empress Zhu Ruoyan guided Su Qingqing to place the Blood Jade Spider at a specific position.

At the same time, as the Blood Jade Spider took its place, Chen Nan and the others retreated into the Array from that spot.

"With the Blood Jade Spider joining in, once the Azure Dragon War God charges in, we can trap him for a longer time. Unless he’s planning to go all out, he definitely won’t dare take the risk. This Kui Niu Spirit Treasure Map is priceless; if it really gets destroyed in your hands, even as one of the Bright Temple’s Four Great War Gods, he wouldn’t be able to bear that consequence."

At this moment the Poison Empress had a crystal-clear read on the Azure Dragon War God’s mindset.

"What do we do next?"

Chen Nan frowned. Su Qingqing had already fused with the Creation Jade Disc; if later the Five Poison Array was broken, he could take everyone and hide inside the Haotian Tower. But in Chen Nan’s heart, he wasn’t confident—this Azure Dragon War God’s strength was at the Great Heavenly Position, the strongest person he’d seen so far. His attacks might be able to pierce through the Haotian Tower.

Even if the Azure Dragon War God’s attacks couldn’t break the Haotian Tower, at that time his strength would absolutely be enough to grab the Haotian Tower and carry it off; in that case, everyone would become trapped turtles inside the tower.

"Too bad we don’t have the Jade Golden Toad. With the current power of the Five Poison Array, if we had the Jade Golden Toad, the number one strange poison under Heaven and Earth, then even if the Azure Dragon War God entered the Formation, one careless move and he might have to suffer for it. As long as we intimidate him, we don’t need to defeat him, and we can keep stalling for time."

The Poison Empress Zhu Ruoyan thought for a moment and spoke.

Now that the Blood Jade Spider had appeared, she naturally longed for the Jade Golden Toad even more. It’s just a pity that this number one strange poison in the world can only be raised by someone who has cultivated the Fire Element Law to the Perfect Realm. Otherwise, if one can’t cultivate Poison Fire attribute, then the Jade Golden Toad is nothing but a useless toad, and it will even backlash on its keeper, ending with Sheng and Death both destroyed.

"Keep stalling for time?" Chen Nan looked at the Kui Niu Spirit Treasure Map in his hand. "I get it. Sister Ruoyan wants to wait until a force strong enough to stand against the Bright Temple arrives. Then we’ll have hope."

"Exactly. The Bright Temple is indeed powerful, but in the entire Hundred Clan Domain, in the countless King Cities big and small, each King City has the strongest expert of its race sitting in town. If they make a move, they can absolutely counterbalance the Bright Temple, without needing to give them any face. In addition, the Ten Halls King Yan of the Wilderness Domain are peak existences among the Man Clan. Any one Hall among them can go head to head with the Bright Temple."

The Poison Empress, recalling the Time she and Blade God Li Liushui had spent in the Wilderness Domain, spoke casually.

Chen Nan asked curiously, "Now that you mention it, I remember—I once heard Big Brother Man Wuji talk about this. He’s from the Fifth Hall of the Wilderness Domain. What’s the story with these Ten Halls King Yan of the Wilderness Domain?"

"From the First Hall to the Tenth Hall, they’re the peak strength of the entire Wilderness Domain. Rumor has it the ten Hall Masters are all named after the ten controllers of the Netherworld. The Ten Halls King Yan of the Wilderness Domain are named respectively: First Hall King Qinguang, Second Hall King Jiang, Third Hall King Songdi, Fourth Hall Five Senses King, Fifth Hall King Yanluo, Sixth Hall King Biancheng, Seventh Hall King Taishan, Eighth Hall King Dushi, Ninth Hall King Pingdeng, Tenth Hall King Zhuanlun."

"They actually took the names of the Netherworld’s Ten King Yan as their titles. The strength of these ten Hall Masters must be unfathomable."

Chen Nan said to himself in his heart.

He didn’t know whether this time he’d get to see the Ten King Yan of the Wilderness.

"Chen Nan, this Kui Niu Spirit Treasure Map is the forehead hide of the Fierce Beast Kui Niu, refined together with the absolute Cultivation of Ancient Supreme Strong People. You think you can destroy it with that little flame of yours?" The Azure Dragon War God’s eyes rolled, and he chuckled, "If you come out now, I promise to spare the lives of everyone in your Five Poison Array. As for the Ten Thousand Beasts Divine Cauldron and the Creation Jade Disc, I won’t covet them either. How about it?"

He could see that Chen Nan had the intention of perishing together with the map, and couldn’t help feeling a bit depressed.

Though he was a War God of the Bright Temple, he really didn’t have much experience with negotiations. Throughout his life, he had always ended all his opponents’ overt and covert schemes with slaughter.

Now Chen Nan suddenly had the Kui Niu Spirit Treasure Map in hand, and this kind of threat really put him in a tough spot.

He wanted to kill his way in, but if this Treasure Map was really destroyed, things would get big.

"Kui Niu is just one of the Four Great Beasts. I’ve faced the Holy Demon Race Taowu of the Taigu Divine Mountain head-on. You think I don’t have that kind of strength? You think I’d dare waste words with you here if I didn’t?"

Chen Nan sneered. "Taigu Divine Mountain’s Tao Liuguang is of the Taowu clan, and has long since reached adulthood. Too bad he failed to kill me."

Chen Nan knew that right now he had to say some jaw-dropping stuff, and things that sounded like they might be true, to gain the upper hand in momentum.

"Taigu Divine Mountain?"

The Bright Temple was one of the Three Great Halls, overwhelmingly powerful, and naturally had a powerful intelligence network.

Although the Taigu Divine Mountain had hidden itself from the world, all information related to the Taigu Divine Mountain had always been crystal-clear to them.

"Tao Liuguang of the Taowu clan, this Holy Demon Race member, about ten thousand years ago, took advantage of the Hunter King’s absence to steal the Purple Ying Sword and the Qing Suo Sword. Wu Tianxing and Li Qiushui failed to guard the Ancient Double Swords, couldn’t find the Hunter King, and for ten thousand years have directly led the entire Lie Clan into seclusion, stockpiling strength."

As the Azure Dragon War God pondered, a deep light flashed in his eyes.

He smiled and asked Chen Nan, "Tao Liuguang is an adult Taowu, his strength is formidable, on par with mine. Even if he didn’t go all out against you, he’s not someone you could withstand. You say you escaped alive from his hands—do you think I’m going to believe that?"

"Tao Liuguang once chased me all the way to Wangtian City. Too bad I had someone even stronger behind me, who gave him a brutal beating and then took him away."

Chen Nan said smugly. In his heart he thought, I’m not bragging this time—but that old Daoist Ziwei Taoist clearly isn’t someone from the Hundred Clan Domain, so he probably won’t show up again anytime soon.

"What, Tao Liuguang got brutally beaten?"

The Azure Dragon War God’s eyes went wide. Besides him, in the distant Void, and down on the ground among the Bright Temple people and those from the City Lord’s residence, everyone was dumbstruck. This brat Chen Nan sounded serious, not like he was joking.

But once an adult of the Holy Demon Race appears, that’s a disaster-level event. Someone could brutally beat them?

This bragging was a bit too over the top.
