Chapter 2274: Preparing for Battle

The atmosphere immediately intensified.

No one expected Qin Nan to do something like this!

"HAHAHA!"

A huge burst of laughter broke the silence.

Cang's throat was not moving, but he was still able to make some voice. It looked extremely weird.

"Qin Nan, I didn't expect you to be so bold. No one dared to treat me like that in the past, not even Zhou Di had grabbed my throat and lifted me up!"

Cang complimented without any sign of anger.

"I have high hopes in you. I wonder if you are going to be the next Zhou Di or Huangfu Jue?"

"Qin Nan, I won't kill you during the Battle of the Masters happening on the first day of next month. I want to see you grow! By the way, it's also your only chance to rescue your Senior Brother. You better not miss out on it."

"You may ask someone else to deliver the storage bag to me."

Cang did not speak to everyone. He was transmitting his voice into Qin Nan's mind instead.

As he finished the sentence, his body turned into countless light dots and dissipated.

"Qin Nan, you did well," Zhou Xundao's expression calmed down slightly.

"I'm sorry, Senior Zhou, this is all I can do," Qin Nan's eyes flickered coldly.

"Qin Nan!"

Empress Feiyue, Progenitor Mingchu, and the others approached from the distance.

"It's just as we have thought, Cang has come prepared. No matter what we did, we couldn't locate Tang Qingshan," Progenitor Mingchu shook his head.

"We won't be able to go to the Battle of the Masters with you. You must be careful. You should prepare yourself for it too," Progenitor Linghuang said.

"Sure."

Princess Miao Miao, Jiang Bilan, and the disciples of the three Supreme Daoism factions who had long achieved the peak Master Realm followed him too.

Only two days left until the next month. They had to prepare in advance.

Fellow cultivators, the expedition to the Blue Heavens is important to us too. We should prepare for it," Progenitor Mingchu said.

"Agree."

Empress Feiyue, Ruler Qingyu, and Progenitor Shuangdao nodded and left.

"Linghuang, come with me, I have something to discuss with you," Progenitor Mingchu said before leading the way. Progenitor Linghuang followed him.

After the two entered a palace, Progenitor Linghuang wore a confused look and said, "Senior Brother, what's wrong?"

Progenitor Mingchu wore a stern face and said, "I'm planning to only send my clone to the Blue Heavens next month. My true self won't be going."

Progenitor Linghuang was shocked. She asked, "Senior Brother, why are you doing this? Shouldn't you be focusing on achieving the Heaven Highness Realm?"

The expedition to the Blue Heavens was going to change the situation in the Primary Upper Realm without a doubt.

If they succeeded in establishing a place to achieve the Heaven Highness Realm, the factions with Heaven Highnesses were surely going to rise and secure great advantages in the future competition.

Progenitor Mingchu shook his head. He placed his hands behind him and said, "I've been thinking about it for several days. Qin Nan is the core of our alliance. If he falls, even if we managed to achieve the Heaven Highness Realm, our chance of survival in this new era is still very slim."

"If Qin Nan failed to rescue Tang Qingshan in the Battle of the Masters, we will definitely find ourselves in a worse spot. Qin Nan is still too naive compared to Cang."

A sudden thought crossed Progenitor Linghuang's mind. She said, "Are you thinking of..."

Progenitor Mingchu said with a slight nod, "If Qin Nan failed to rescue Tang Qingshan, I'll have to murder Tang Qingshan, even if it means going against Qin Nan's will."

The truth was, Progenitor Mingchu admired Qin Nan's character and the way he treated the people who were dear to him, but he had to take into consideration the future of the Sky Taihuang Sect's disciples.

Progenitor Linghuang frowned, "But, Senior Brother, if you..."

Progenitor Mingchu responded with a smile, "It's nothing, once the place to achieve the Heaven Highness Realm is established, I will still have a chance later."

He paused briefly before saying, "Besides, you have a better chance at achieving the Heaven Highness Realm compared to me."

Progenitor Linghuang fell silent briefly. She said, "Did the Heaven Illusionary Ancestor Sect and the Sanqing Ancient Sect know about this?"

Progenitor Mingchu said, "I've already told them yesterday. They are glad since it's in their favor." 

Progenitor Linghuang took a deep breath and smiled, "Fine, I understand. There's no point convincing you if you already made up your mind. Don't you worry..."

"I'll surely achieve the Heaven Highness Realm!"

Progenitor Linghuang bowed at Progenitor Mingchu before leaving the palace.

Meanwhile, the City of Darkness in the Battlefield of Aeon...

"I've looked into it. The two people who are repairing the Supreme Haotian Badge once had a deal with Xiang Hun," Brave Wolf Ruler said.

"Oh?"

Moxie raised his brows and said, "Cang obviously found them after possessing Xiang Hun's flesh. He's repairing the Supreme Haotian Badge to initiate the Battle of the Masters so he can achieve the Ruler Realm."

"If that's the case..."

"Wouldn't Qin Nan and the others be there too?"

Four Demon Ruler said indifferently, "Obviously. Qin Nan has already reached the peak Master Realm. Cang will also bring Heaven Highness Wuwang's reincarnation along. Qin Nan will not miss out on such a great opportunity."

He raised his brows and added, "The two will definitely be fighting one another in the battle. Such a pity, we are going to the Blue Heavens soon. Otherwise, I would like to watch the battle between them."

In some way, it was a direct confrontation between Cang, Zhou Di, and Huangfu Jue!

Moxie fell into deep thoughts. He said with a grin after some time, "My friends, I'm afraid there's a little change to our plan."

Brave Wolf Ruler said with a cold expression, "Moxie, what are you planning this time? I think our initial plan is good enough!"

Moxie waved his hand and said, "Brave Wolf, it doesn't contradict our initial plan."

He said after a brief pause, "As servants, how could we possibly watch our master being threatened by Cang time and time again? Since Wutian and I aren't going to the Blue Heavens, we could pull some strings behind the scenes to kill Tang Qingshan on behalf of our master if we have the chance. We can get rid of master's restraints so he can be stronger."
