Peerless Battle Spirit-Chapter 2271: Conspiring, Part One

Chapter 2271: Conspiring, Part One

Qin Nan's gaze immediately sharpened.

He was not surprised b the challenge!

Even though Tang Qingshan had turned into one of Cang's subordinates, Cang would still treat him as a bargaining chip to threaten Qin Nan! 

Qin Nan calmed his thoughts before he vanished into thin air.

Meanwhile, a palace in the Undying Cycle Mountain...

When Qin Nan arrived, Empress Feiyue, Princess Miao Miao, Jiang Bilan, Progenitor Mingchu, Li Ji, Mo Xiaoli, and the others had already gathered inside it, over forty people in total.

The atmosphere was stern and cold.

"Qin Nan, take a look at this!"

Progenitor Mingchu flicked his finger and summoned a talisman which turned into an illusionary figure in the air.

"Xiang Hun?"

Qin Nan's eyes widened.

Did Cang take over his flesh?

"Qin Nan, when you see this message, I'm most likely a few days away from achieving the Master Realm."

"I've realized I should express my gratitude to you first after learning a few things. If you didn't lend a hand despite the huge risks involved, my daughter might not be able to achieve the Ruler Realm."

Empress Feiyue's face turned cold.

"However, it still results in a few problems, for example, the Battle of the Masters is no longer a possibility, and the Hundred Years Oath will only happen in another sixty years, which is too long for us both, am I right?"

"Therefore, after giving it some consideration, since we are both having the same bottleneck, why don't we work together to repair the Supreme Haotian Badge?"

"I'll handle the repair while you gather the necessary material. We will initiate the Battle of the Masters on the first day in the upcoming month."

"Prior to it, I would like to pay the Undying Cycle Mountain a visit. You won't deny me entry, will you?"

The figure's lips widened into a grin before it disappeared.

"He has a great plan in mind for sure!" Zhou Xundao said coldly.

Leaving aside the grudge between Zhou Di and Cang, Zhou Xundao always found Cang an eyesore too.

"Senior, can we afford to let Cang come to the Undying Cycle Mountain?" Qin Nan asked with a frown.

They did not have much choice under the circumstances.

Cang currently had the initiative. He could state any condition he wanted.

"Cang is very familiar with the Origin Force, and the Undying Cycle Mountain's greatest secret happens to be related to the Origin Force too. It might be troublesome to let him enter the Undying Cycle Mountain, but it's not like we have a better option."

Zhou Xundao let out a sigh and said, "Jiaye, give me a hand, I'll do my best to make sure Cang goes back empty-handedly."

Qin Nan fell silent for a moment before he said, "Senior, you have my thanks!"

Qin Nan then looked at the others and said, "Fellow seniors, fellow cultivators, Cang's condition to visit the Undying Cycle Mountain will not be a problem. Any other thoughts?"

Progenitor Mingchu tapped on the table and said, "Qin Nan, I don't see a problem initiating the Battle of the Masters with Cang. You, Princess Miao Miao, Jiang Bilan, and many Masters of Dao among us have reached the bottleneck too. We will sort out the required materials for you."

Progenitor Qingyu and Progenitor Shuangdao nodded.

The three Supreme Daoism factions were very resourceful. They did not have a problem gathering the materials.

"But, our greatest problem is something else."

Progenitor Mingchu said, "As long as Tang Qingshan is in Cang's hands, we'll find ourselves on the passive end! Qin Nan, may I ask you, if Cang demands you to hand over the Orb of the Heavenly Emperor, the Ownerless Heaven Pattern, the Undying Cycle Mountain, and tell him every secret you have, or even cripple your cultivation in return for Tang Qingshan, will you agree with it?"

Qin Nan's eyes widened.

"Progenitor Mingchu, Cang isn't that stupid."

Jiang Bilan giggled and said, "Many people have a share in the Orb of the Heavenly Emperor. The rest of you won't agree even if Qin Nan does, unless Cang is willing to trade Tang Qingshan for an Orb of the Heavenly Emperor."

"The Ownerless Heaven Pattern and the Undying Cycle Mountain are out of the question too. Even if Qin Nan agrees, the two seniors will never accept it. The deal will only be called off in the end. It's even unlikely for Qin Nan to cripple his cultivation." 

Many nodded in agreement.

Progenitor Linghuang placed her cup down and said, "The girl is right, but what Progenitor Mingchu tries to say is that Cang can abuse Tang Qingshan to keep demanding things from us as long as they are within our tolerance."

"Besides, according to the information provided by the Li Clan, Tang Qingshan has also achieved the Master Realm. At this rate, he might achieve the Ruler Realm after the Battle of the Masters."

"He will then advance to the Heaven Highness Realm after the Ruler Realm!"

"Will we still be able to save him by then?"

Qin Nan frowned and said, "So you are saying?"

Progenitor Linghuang let out a sigh and said, "Qin Nan, we only have two options based on the current circumstances. First, Cang isn't going to bring Tang Qingshan along when he visits the Undying Cycle Mountain. We can try to take Tang Qingshan back when he comes."

"Second, Cang will be bringing Tang Qingshan along during the Battle of the Masters. We have to rescue Tang Qingshan there. It's our last chance to do so. If we fail, we can only see him as our enemy!"

Progenitor Qingyu and Progenitor Shuangdao nodded in agreement.

"Mm, Senior Linghuang is right, but the first option isn't that viable. The second option might have a greater chance of success," Qin Nan nodded.

"I'll try the first option. Fellow progenitors, please lend me your strength when the time comes," Empress Feiyue said.

"Sure!"

The progenitors nodded.

"Fellow seniors and cultivators, we are currently in a pinch because of my personal matters. I hereby apologize to you all. I'm utterly grateful if we manage to overcome the situation!"

Qin Nan rose to his feet and bowed at the crowd.

"Cultivator Qin Nan, that won't be necessary. We have already formed an alliance. We should be advancing and retreating together!" Progenitor Mingchu and the rest of the authorities said. 

Qin Nan proceeded to discuss their next steps with the crowd.

Their enemy was a Supreme Highness. Cang would have figured out every question they could think of. Cang would be fully prepared for everything!

Therefore, they had to discuss the details to make sure they did not miss anything!

The meeting lasted for eight hours.

There was still some until Cang's visit. Qin Nan decided to see his children. He did not notice Xu Ruochen and a few Masters of Dao looking at him, Princess Miao Miao, and Jiang Bilan with mixed feelings.
