Peerless Battle Spirit

Chapter 1191 - The Storm Has Arrived

"I'd already made my words clear, and you dared kill on the street still?"

At that instant, an imperious roar exploded through the entire Linran City.

A blinding golden ray was fired into the sky from the City Lord’s Mansion. The magnificent monarch aura swept across Linran City like a storm.

Most cultivators in the city held their breath, as if an invisible mountain were pressing down on their shoulders, hindering their breathing.

He was Martial Monarch Linran.

"This isn't good!"

Yi Feng's expression changed.

However, Qin Nan did not move at all facing the tremendous monarch aura, whose eyes flickered as he yelled in the direction of the City Lord’s Mansion, "Martial Monarch Linran, I respect the rules of your Linran City, but rules should be the same for everyone. How can I not kill him since he wanted to kill me first? Otherwise, what's the point of the rules existing?"

So what if you're a Martial Monarch?

He would not fear him since he had not done anything wrong.

At most, he would go all out in a tough battle.

He was no longer the same Qin Nan as in the past. With his current strength, he could even face an expert in the early stages of the Martial Monarch Realm!

Yi Feng could sense his scalp turning numb!

According to the analysis done by the senior from the Anti-Heaven Alliance, Qin Nan was filled with pride in his bones. There was nothing that could stop him from doing the things he had decided!

He did not believe it at first, but he was thoroughly convinced that that was the case now!

Zhan Xiaoxian, Dong Kuo, and the rest of the cultivators experienced an incredible shock in their hearts!

It was their first time witnessing a Martial Progenitor talking back to a Martial Monarch Realm authority!

Qin Nan's recklessness and courage had completely exceeded their imagination! action

Martial Monarch Linran fell silent for a while before saying in an icy tone, "Either way, you've still broken the rules. You have one hour to leave Linran City!"

This young man was able to defeat Ning Jianfei so easily and even had the courage to kill him in front of the crowd. It went without saying that he also had a formidable background!

Most importantly, why did it feel like he could see himself back in the days by looking at the young man before him?

"Sure thing."

Qin Nan calmed his tone after hearing this.

Since Martial Monarch Linran had compromised, there was no need for him to dwell on the topic any further.

The surrounding cultivators were stunned seeing this.

So he was fine?

"Qin Nan, let's go. We should leave Linran City at once."

Yi Feng collected his thoughts and let out a relieved sigh, before transmitting his voice.

He was worried that something troublesome would happen to them if they were to stay any longer. Besides, the people of the South-Heaven Sacred Ground would surely make their way here soon.

Before Qin Nan could respond, he turned toward Ning Jianfei's corpse after becoming aware of something.

Whoosh.

Following a piercing sound, a brilliant blue glow struck his chest before he could react, which turned into the outline of a door the size of a palm.

"Mm? What's this?"

Qin Nan inspected it with his Divine Sense and frowned.

He had tried using the progenitor force and force of destruction, but neither of them was able to erase it.

Yi Feng's expression changed slightly as he said, "It's the South-Heaven Mark. It marks those who have killed an important disciple of their South-Heaven Sacred Ground. Even though it does not bring any harm to you, you won't be able to erase it either. The experts of the South-Heaven Sacred Ground will hunt you down by tracking the mark."

"Oh?"

Qin Nan raised his eyebrows in astonishment.

He never thought the South-Heaven Sacred Ground would have set such a precaution.

"I didn't expect killing Ning Jianfei would result in this. This is getting tricky. We should return to the Anti-Heaven Alliance, only then could we erase the mark."

Yi Feng said with a wry smile.

Initially, the Anti-Heaven Alliance had assumed that killing Ning Jianfei would not trigger the South-Heaven Mark.

"Senior, it's fine. Doesn't the trial last for a month? Why don't we use it to our advantage instead? I'll attract the disciples of the South-Heaven Sacred Ground to me. Besides, I'm quite interested in checking out their strength too."

Qin Nan's eyes glistened.

"Mm, that's fine."

Yi Feng did not expect Qin Nan to have such a strong lust for battle. On second thought, the South-Heaven Sacred Ground was unable to determine Qin Nan's real identity through the South-Heaven Mark, thus they would not send someone too strong to avenge a mere Ning Jianfei.

With Qin Nan's full strength, he would not have any trouble fighting anyone below the Martial Monarch Realm.

Besides, with the plan Qin Nan currently had in mind, how incredible would his result be after a month?

Yi Feng could not help but feel great anticipation when the thought crossed his mind.

"Xiaoxian, if I've got the time, I will surely visit the Battle Tribe."

Qin Nan brought his fists together toward Zhan Xiaoxian with a smile, before leaving Linran City with Yi Feng.

As for Zhan Xiaoxian, Dong Kuo, and the rest of the cultivators, they remained in their spots with blank faces.

"Brother Duan Qing…"

Zhan Xiaoxian finally collected her thoughts, as she stared at the empty street leading to the entrance of the city. Her mind was filled with the images of the previous battle.

It felt like since Qin Nan had been involved in the fight, an incredible force had sucked her soul into it.

What was going on?

She hadn’t even felt like this when she was spectating the battles between Martial Monarchs?

…Meanwhile, in the South-Heaven Sacred Ground of the half-God region…

Inside a marvelous palace of the giant faction…

There were rows of jade engraved with gold, each of them holding a wooden badge made of some pitch-black wood with someone's name on it. There were thousands of them at the lowest level, which gradually decreased toward the top, with a single badge at the highest level.

This was the Spirit Guarding Palace and each of the wooden badges was a South-Heaven Mark Badge.

Once the South-Heaven Sacred Ground left the South-Heaven Marks inside the bodies of important disciples, elders, and Martial Monarchs, as long as their lives were not endangered, thus preventing their South-Heaven Mark from triggering, the respective South-Heaven Mark Badge would remain intact.

Once it was shattered, it implied that someone had fallen.

Suddenly, at the lowest level, a wooden badge among thousands of others shattered into pieces following a crack.

"Mm? Someone is dead? Let me think, was his name Huang Hong? No, that isn't right. Oh, I remember now. It belongs to an inner disciple with the name Ning Jianfei, ranked over nine thousand three hundredth on the God Ranking."

A plump middle-aged man in the palace murmured.

He was the elder in charge of the entire Spirit Guarding Palace, Zhang Taiwei.

"According to the marks on the South-Heaven Mark Badge, it seems like it was at the outer region of the half-God region.

"Who is the imbecile that dares kill the disciple of our South-Heaven Sacred Ground?

"Xiao Long, spread my words. Send out a South-Heaven Assassination Request!"

Zhang Taiwei's eyes turned cold as he immediately took out a badge and transmitted a message. Following this, a cold grin appeared on his face.

He had always worshiped the South-Heaven Sacred Ground.

In his eyes, the people of the South-Heaven Sacred Ground were real cultivators. They were the only dominators of the half-God region.

The outsiders were not even allowed to bully a dog of the South-Heaven Sacred Ground. Otherwise, death would be the penalty.

As such, he was given the chance to be the elder of the Spirit Guarding Palace.

A while later, his badge suddenly emitted a glow.

Zhang Taiwei's eyes flickered as he read the contents with his Divine Sense.

Five geniuses of the God Ranking and seventeen elders had accepted the quest?

"Imbecile, I can't wait to hear the news of your death."

Zhang Taiwei's eyes flickered with disdain. He put the badge aside and continued to cultivate with his eyes closed.
