Chapter 629 - Explosive Scorching Talismans (1/2)

....Meanwhile at the third palace...

“Fascinating, brilliant, incredible…” Longhu’s face reddened with excitement as he danced around holding a shawl made of silk produced by the Icy Emperor Silkworm. This Emperor Weapon came at the right time, as he had been planning to pick up another Junior Sister. How could she reject him after he gifted her the shawl?

That meant he would be dating two Junior Sisters soon!

Although Qin Nan and Sima Kong were not as excited as Longhu, they were enjoying themselves while choosing the artifacts.

Who wouldn’t be happy having a chance to pick whatever they want?

“So many Emperor Weapons, and a few other interesting artifacts, and the Lightning Orbs. This trip is quite worth it…”

Qin Nan mumbled while his eyes glittered.

They had finished splitting all the treasures within the formation.

Longhu stared at Sima Kong with a drooling expression. He was hoping that they had the chance to rob more stuff.

“We can’t stay any longer here at the third palace. The experts of the Trading Alliance have practiced some ancient Martial Arts, thus their senses are quite sharp. If we stay here for too long, their instincts can sense that something is not right. Let’s head to the sixth palace and the seventh palace. We could at most rob these two other palaces.” Sima Kong said.

Qin Nan nodded his head.

Instinct was something that could not be explained thoroughly. For example, one who had been killing for a long time would be sensitive to murderous intent. On the other hand, he himself had sharp senses after learning the Sleeping Buddha Method, allowing him to detect things that some other experts failed to.

Qin Nan glanced at the old man cultivating in the third palace. As he thought, he could see the old man frowning.

“Let’s leave. Time is running short.”

Qin Nan said swiftly.

Sima Kong and Longhu nodded their heads as they silently withdrew from the third palace. The Blue Sky Formation and the white mist inside the door vanished as well as everything returned to normal, apart from the missing treasures.

The eyebrows of the old man were relieved as well.

Following this, the trio used the same method to enter the sixth palace.

The sixth palace was different than the third. Most of the treasures there were talismans, disks etc. Meanwhile, there was also a bald middle-aged man cultivating inside the sixth palace, whose breathing was as loud as thunder while flickers of lightning could be seen on his eyelids.

“Blue Sky Formation!”

Sima Kong repeated the procedure and constructed the formation, getting rid of the first-layer of protection of the treasures, and then spat out flames to trigger the second-layer of protection. Longhu subconsciously took a step backward and positioned himself behind Qin Nan. To his surprise, Qin Nan—who was long aware of his intention—immediately threw him forward.

Following this, a cry of agony echoed in the formation.

“Qin Nan, screw you——”

…Meanwhile, in the meeting room of the Trading Alliance’s Main Hall...

“Let’s talk about Qin Nan first.”

The Leader of the Trading Alliance looked at the people around him. Despite having a mask on, everyone could still feel his gaze as he slowly spoke, “Qin Nan has disappeared for quite a while. He must have some kind of trick that allows him to roam freely in the upper district. It’s quite difficult to track him down now. Tell the shadows to continue the search, and the others to retreat.”

Everyone nodded their heads in agreement.

The Four Great Factions had sent their people twice when Qin Nan had shown himself, but they still failed to capture him, thus proving how outstanding he was.

Tricking the Four Great Factions with a mere sixth-grade Di ranked Martial Spirit, even the Martial Sacred Realm experts in the room were secretly impressed.

That being said, once they managed to find Qin Nan, they would surely crush him into pieces!

“Now, let’s talk about Duan Qing.”

“This guy suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and battled against Qin Nan at the Ninth City before joining the Vermilion Bird Platoon. We now know that he was the one who resurrected the Blood-Winged Vermilion Bird and the Kingdom Protector Black Tortoise. Therefore, he must have some great secrets on him.”

“Secondly, from the intel we’ve received from the Heaven-Worshipping Ground, his secrets are nothing ordinary. Besides that, the four great experts have suddenly vanished, together with the crown prince. According to our spies, the night they disappeared, Duan Qing paid a visit to the royal palace, so he might know something. We have speculated that it might be related to the treasure of the Deceased Emperor.”
