The geniuses glanced at Hua Dichen.
"It's rare for so many geniuses to gather here today. Our chief has asked my Junior Brother, Qin Nan, to take good care of him during the trip to the Half-God Tomb."
Hua Dichen glanced at Qin Nan and said with a smile, "I believe you all have heard of him. His ranking on the Monarch Ranking has increased by over seven hundred. Even I am inferior to him."
"I've heard of him before."
"Ranked over three hundred on the Monarch Ranking, right?"
The geniuses frowned and withdrew their gazes after taking a glimpse.
They were not interested in Qin Nan at all.
In their opinion, the sudden increase in the ranking was nothing but a lie. One's strength was the most important factor. Qin Nan's current strength was not enough to attract their attention.
Hua Dichen's eyes flickered as he was about to speak again.
What he had just said was only the beginning. What came next was the main point.
At that instant, a terrifying aura could be felt coming from the sky, causing the crowd to raise their heads subconsciously.
Following a glimpse, the elders, geniuses, and even Dao Qianzhong were astounded.
They could only see a young man flying toward them with five geniuses of the Misty Immortal Sect.
The young man was none other than the top genius of the Monarch Ranking, Shi Qingfan!
"HAHA, Dao Qianzhong, Hua Dichen, you two are here too." Shi Qingfan landed on the boat and scanned the crowd. His gaze paused briefly on Qin Nan before he burst out laughing.
Dao Qianzhong and Hua Dichen's expressions stiffened. Even though Shi Qingfan did not unleash any suppression, they were still suppressed by him.
"Cultivator Shi Qingfan, are you … planning to enter the Half-God Tomb too?" The elder of the Bodhi Temple could not help but ask.
The hearts of the geniuses shuddered.
Although their hearts of martial arts were firm, and they were also people who had experienced countless trials and tribulations, they were very clear about how terrifying Shi Qingfan was.
If Shi Qingfan were to enter the Half-God Tomb, the consequences would be unimaginable!
"I won't be going." Shi Qingfan pointed at the woman behind him and said with a smile, "I'm here to escort my Junior Sister, Yu Qingtong. I hope everyone will give me some face in the Half-God Tomb and not trouble her."
Yu Qingtong?
Everyone was stunned as they looked at the woman behind Shi Qingfan.
This woman was tall and slender. Her long black hair fell to her waist. Her beautiful eyes were like water, and her exquisite face was filled with arrogance. When she looked at the crowd, there was a trace of disdain.
"This lady only has a fourth-grade Tian ranked Martial Spirit, while the Martial Ancestor's cultivation is only at the seventh-layer Martial Ancestor. I'm afraid she won't even be ranked in the top fifty among the geniuses on the boat …"
Qin Nan glanced over and revealed a look of surprise. Royal Language Academy.
Logically speaking, with Yu Qingtong's natural talent, it was absolutely not Shi Qingfan's turn to personally escort her. Could it be that this woman and Shi Qingfan were Dao Companions?
He wasn't the only one who had such a thought. All the geniuses present had the same question in their minds because none of them had ever heard of Yu Qingtong.
"Alright, everyone, I'll take my leave first."
Shi Qingfan clasped hands and bowed. Before leaving, he looked at Yu Qingtong and transmitted, "There's a black-haired young man in front of you. His name is Qin Nan. Do your best to befriend him. If you can't, then no matter what, don't make him an enemy."
"Qin Nan?"
Yu Qingtong was startled.
She had heard of Qin Nan's name before, but he was only ranked three hundred and first on the Monarch Ranking. Why would she care so much about him?
"Friend Qin Nan, let's meet again if fate allows it."
Shi Qingfan glanced at Qin Nan and transmitted his voice with a smile, before his figure vanished into thin air.
The geniuses let out sighs of relief. Many went up to Yu Qingtong and began to chat with her.
The person that Shi Qingfan had personally escorted and given special instructions to was definitely someone extraordinary!
Yu Qingtong was like a prideful swan. The pride on her face grew thicker as she was flattered by the geniuses.
As for Hua Dichen, after Shi Qingfan's sudden arrival, it was impossible for him to say anything even if he wanted to.
"This Yu Qingtong, I did hear from Senior Brother that she is quite close to Shi Qingfan. As for the reason, Senior Brother never mentioned it." Chen Buhui transmitted his voice to Qin Nan.
"Your Senior Brother is Chen Zilai?" Qin Nan glanced at him.
"That's right, Sage Chen Zilai."
Qin Nan wore a grin. He finally understood why Chen Buhui had suddenly offered to help him.
"Qin Nan, forgive me for asking, but is it possible for us to work together in the Half-God Tomb?" Chen Buhui's eyes flickered as he spoke, "To be honest, most of the geniuses here are stronger than me. With my current strength, I'm afraid it'll be difficult …"
Upon saying this, Chen Buhui fell silent.
"Not a problem, come find me when the time comes." Qin Nan nodded.
He was quite impressed by Chen Buhui, thus it was not a bad idea to team up with him.
"Thank you, Master Qin!" Chen Buhui was overjoyed. Since his Senior Brother had been complimenting Qin Nan, he believed that Qin Nan had been concealing his true strength.
If he were to team up with Qin Nan, he might be able to find something useful in the Half-God Tomb.
"Mm?"
Qin Nan suddenly raised his head and glanced toward the bottom of the ocean.
Meanwhile, Hua Lie and the elders of the various factions were startled as they yelled, "Everyone, the Half-God Tomb is about to be opened. Let's go to the bottom of the ocean and enter the Legend of the Desert!"
Hua Lie and the other elders exchanged glances with each other. After nodding their heads in unison, they swiftly took out an ancient token. With an explosive cry, all of their strength poured into it.
The badges shuddered and emitted an ancient glow that encapsulated the Worriless Boat.
The Weapon Spirit deep inside the Worriless Boat was awakened too. It uttered a deep roar and ordered the boat to sink rapidly to the bottom of the ocean.
"The scenery at the bottom of the ocean isn't too bad."
"Haha, Brother Zhang, this seawater is the Untroubled Ocean. If it were you or me, we would have been smashed into pieces if we were to dive into this ocean."
The geniuses were attracted by the scenery at the bottom of the ocean.
The light in the ocean was constantly changing, as strange beasts swam back and forth, resulting in a spectacular view. Even Qin Nan nodded his head.
"You're Qin Nan, right? Shi Qingfan asked me to befriend you. It's my first time seeing him being so interested in a disciple ranked three hundred and first on the Monarch Ranking. "Yu Qingtong transmitted her voice to Qin Nan as she recalled Shi Qingfan's advice.
"Cultivator Shi is being too serious." Qin Nan let out a calm smile.
Yu Qingtong frowned. For some reason, she was displeased when she saw Qin Nan's calm expression. She harrumphed coldly and turned around without saying another word.
Qin Nan was left speechless. He didn't say anything wrong, why would Yu Qingtong be angry all of a sudden?
Time trickled by.
After half the period it took an incense to burn, the Worriless Boat had completely sunk into the ocean. The surroundings were pitch-black. Even with their eye-techniques, they could not see into the distance.
"Everyone, get ready, the Half-God Tomb is approaching." Hua Lie yelled.
The geniuses were startled and fell silent.
However, an unexpected occurrence took place.
BANG!
