Qin Nan and Princess Miaomiao were startled, before they quickly collected their thoughts with strange expressions.
Wasn't this Wang Zhao too unlucky? The attack that the Xuan-Wind Martial Monarch had used to deal with them had hit him instead.
The previously scornful Wang Zhao's face turned blue as the tremendous force of the Wind God surged toward his Divine Sense in a ferocious manner.
"Down to the Yellow Spring, up to the Nine Heavens, Canglan Tree, suppress!"
Wang Zhao let out a roar as he performed a hand seal. A blinding green glow was emitted as the illusionary figure of an ancient tree emerged from the ground with an overwhelming aura.
The trees and flowers in all directions seemed to have sensed something and began to tremble violently in fear.
The force of the God of Wind in his body was eliminated too.
Qin Nan and Princess Miaomiao's eyes flickered with astonishment.
Even though this Wang Zhao only possessed a cultivation of the peak Martial Ancestor Realm, the illusionary figure of the Canglan Tree that he had summoned was extremely powerful.
"Qin Nan, how shameless are you, how dare you ambush me!" Wang Zhao blurted out.
"It has nothing to do with me, it's your bad luck." Qin Nan shrugged. His eyes flickered as he said, "I'm indebted to senior Canglan Tree. I'll pretend that I didn't hear what you just said, and I'll lend you a hand if necessary."
After saying that, if Wang Zhao still tried to rob him, even if he was the successor of the Canglan Tree, Qin Nan would not show any mercy.
"Pfft, I'm Wang Zhao, why would I need your help..."
Wang Zhao chuckled.
A long time ago, the Spirit of the Canglan Tree had told Wang Zhao that he could ask Qin Nan to lend him a hand if necessary.
However, when Wang Zhao heard these words, he felt very displeased.
Who was he?
He was Wang Zhao!
Why would he need his help?
Besides, Qin Nan had only surpassed the rules of cultivation. He had yet to achieve the Martial Monarch Realm!
Therefore, when Wang Zhao first discovered Qin Nan, he had already planned to rob Qin Nan of the pieces of the Canglan Tree and the other treasures that he had, before defeating Qin Nan and recruiting him as his underling.
To have someone who had surpassed the rules of martial arts as a little brother, it would definitely be incomparably flashy and eye-catching!
However, before he could finish his words, Yi —
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) A sudden change occurred.
A faint crimson glow could be seen deep inside the mountain.
"Crap, this is bad, that guy is aware of the illusionary figure of the Canglan Tree. It's planning to devour the pieces of the Canglan Tree!"
Wang Zhao's expression changed...
"Devour the pieces of the Canglan Tree?"
Qin Nan and Princess Miao Miao halted in their tracks and glanced at him.
The two of them had no idea what was going on inside the mountain.
Wang Zhao's expression changed rapidly, as a brilliant idea came to him all of a sudden.
That's right, he could do that. Not only would he be able to acquire the pieces of the Canglan Tree, he would also be able to recruit this Qin Nan as his underling.
"Cough cough, Qin Nan, why don't we team up?"
Wang Zhao coughed and said.
"Team up?"
Qin Nan raised his eyebrows.
"That's right, there's a strange crystal palace inside the mountain. There's an ancient blood pond inside the palace that has developed its own consciousness. It's able to control the forbidding aura inside the palace. It's extremely powerful. If we want to acquire the pieces of the Canglan Tree, we'll have to defeat it.
"The two of you, or myself, are no match against the blood pond. We'll have to team up.
"As for the pieces of the Canglan Tree, once we've defeated the blood pond, we'll have a duel to determine who's stronger. The winner will take them. Do you dare?"
Wang Zhao's lips curled upward with a provocative look.
"Sure."
Qin Nan agreed without hesitation.
They had only come to the mountain by coincidence.
Wang Zhao had arrived early, which indicated that he had learned a lot of secrets. Besides, Wang Zhao's strength was quite impressive, but he had failed to claim the blood pond, thus it was better for them to team up.
As for the duel?
Wang Zhao dared to challenge Qin Nan even though he knew he had seven Martial Trees. It was obvious that he was quite confident.
But, why would it matter?
If he wanted to fight, he would not reject it. It was exactly what he wanted!
"HAHA, that's a deal. Let's swear an oath together!"
Wang Zhao was overjoyed as he blurted out.
Following this, the three swore an oath at the same time and headed deep into the mountain.
Following the appearance of the blood light, the air in the depths of the mountain was filled with the smell of blood. It was extremely pungent, but the spiritual energy in the surroundings was extremely dense.
However, for some reason, it was extraordinarily strong.
Time gradually passed. After half the period it took an incense to burn, the three came to a stop.
In front of them was an average-sized pitch-black cave. Above the entrance of the cave were three ancient words. Even under the circumstances, its will was still shocking.
Those who entered the cave would die!
Any ordinary cultivator would be terrified upon seeing it!
Qin Nan glimpsed at the ring, and as expected, the glow on the ring grew brighter!
"Such a magical ring..."
Wang Zhao's eyes flickered with jealousy.
As the successor of the Canglan Tree, he would have to spit out a few mouthfuls of blood and execute a forbidden art to locate the pieces of the Canglan Tree.
"No way, only I can have such a magical ring. I'll have to take it from Qin Nan once I've convinced him."
Wang Zhao murmured.
"Let's go."
Qin Nan glanced at him before entering the cave with Princess Miaomiao, followed by Wang Zhao.
After stepping into the cave, the thick smell of blood completely changed. Instead, it turned into a boundless, invisible, and colorless Blood Fiendish Intent.
The murderous intent was able to invade a person's body and trigger the murderous intent in their heart, turning them into a murderous demon.
However, ordinary cultivators might have to execute forbidden arts to deal with it, but it did not have any effect on Qin Nan and his crew.
"We're here."
Wang Zhao halted in his tracks. His face wore a stern look.
Qin Nan raised his head. As Wang Zhao had mentioned, a giant crystal palace appeared in front of the cave.
There were many skeletons in the palace, and there were still wisps of Martial Will remaining on the skeletons. In the middle was a square pool that was thirty feet long and thirty feet wide. Streams of extremely bright red blood seethed in it, and it contained a terrifying power.
It was as if the blood was formed by the blood of experts, or the blood of Martial Monarchs.
Behind the pool of blood was a broken throne. To the left of the throne was a box with a pitch-black piece of wood the size of a thumb inside, which turned out to be a piece of the Canglan Tree.
To the right of the throne was an ancient boulder the size of three people, which resembled a coffin. Its surface was carved with patterns.
"Mm? This boulder looks similar to the crystal coffin of the Desolated Battle Ground's Desolated Spirit? "
Qin Nan's eyes flickered with astonishment.
