Chapter 1724 - The Immortal Nocturne Willow

“Regard the holder of the badge as your master, kill this man!”

The Ground Spirit Immortal Emperor waved the badge in his hand.

Whoosh!

A few hundred of crystalline branches gradually formed a terrifying sword formation in the air looming over Qin Nan and the Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor as if they had turned into peerless immortal swords.

The twenty ancient beasts uttered roars and executed their attacks.

Strong gusts swept in all directions.

The twenty ancient beasts were gradually knocked back by the branches. Their sturdy flesh was soon covered in wounds from which blood of different colors was pouring out.

“Crap!”

Qin Nan was startled.

He did not think the Ground Spirit Immortal Emperor was able to control the Immortal Nocturne Willow.

On top of it, the strength of the Immortal Nocturne Willow greatly exceeded his imagination too. It had only used a few hundred branches to keep the twenty ancient beasts at bay.

If it was to attack with thousands, or even ten thousand branches, wouldn’t the will of Supreme Chang Xiao not stand a chance against it too?

“What should I do now? Head to the bottom of the Exquisite Jade Supreme Lake?”

A thought crossed Qin Nan’s mind.

They could no longer afford to compete for the Supreme Succession with the two Immortal Emperors. More importantly, they had to find a way to overcome the dangerous situation to preserve their lives.

“HAHAHA!”

The Ground Spirit Immortal Emperor burst out laughing upon seeing this.

As a Peerless Ruler, there was no way he would allow a mere Earth Immortal to tell him what to do.

He already planned to attack back in the valley, but he decided against it when the Bliss Immortal Emperor told him he could use the Immortal Nocturne Willow against them instead.

Now that the outcome had been decided, he felt utterly pleasant being able to vent out all his frustrations.

An Earth Immortal would forever be an Earth Immortal. Even with the will of a Nine Heavens Supreme, there was no way an Earth Immortal could compete with a Peerless Ruler!

“Qin Nan, surrender! The more you struggle, the worse the outcome that will befall you in the end. You are once an Exceptional Genius, if you…”

The Bliss Immortal Emperor said with a smile.

However, before he could finish, the Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor snapped, “What the hell are you smiling for!?”

The Bliss Immortal Emperor, the Ground Spirit Immortal Emperor, even Qin Nan were stunned.

Since when had the man been so bold?

The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor wore a mocking grin and said, “Do you think you’ve won just because you’ve controlled the Immortal Nocturne Willow? I’m afraid that you’re screwed this time!”

The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor went under the Immortal Nocturne Willow and performed a series of hand seals, summoning three illusionary ancient demon swords.

“AH! Take this!” the Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor roared.

As he shoved his hands forward, the three ancient demon swords turned into three brilliant light rays weaving through the branches and landed on the golden-runed coffin.

BANG!

Following a huge blast, the golden-runed coffin began to emit wisps of ancient light. A deep voice appeared out of nowhere and echoed across the place.

The branches that were attacking the twenty ancient beasts were withdrawn instantly. The huge Immortal Nocturne Willow trembled. The immortal light flowing through its leaves flickered and turned into an icy saber glow.

If the Immortal Nocturne Willow was considered inviolable due to its sacredness, it had now fallen into the path of demon as it became merciless, driven by a strong lust for blood.

Whoosh!

Two branches sprang forward and slashed at the two Immortal Emperors with a formidable saber intent.

The two Immortal Emperors quickly gathered their thoughts and backed away while activating their Dao Weapons.

Even so, it was still a little too late. The branches struck their chest and left a huge cut. Their immortal blood jetted out from the wound and sprayed in the air.

“This…”

The two Immortal Emperors were dumbfounded.

The badge that they had stolen from the Red Zither Immortal Emperor after teaming up to kill her stated very clearly that whoever possessed the badge would be able to control the Immortal Nocturne Willow.

Why did the situation change all of a sudden?

“Hehe, you two assh***s really have no idea that the trick to control the Immortal Nocturne Willow was actually a trap! If someone tries to control the Immortal Nocturne Willow when the coffin is attacked, the person will be considered hostile by the Immortal Nocturne Willow!”

The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor was very proud of himself.

Keep smiling!

Just keep smiling!

Why aren’t you smiling now?

“You…”

The two Immortal Emperors were startled.

They did not think they would lose their advantageous position so quickly.

“Eight Brilliance, you aren’t useless as you seem!”

Qin Nan’s eyes glittered.

“Of course…hey, little prick, who are you calling useless? I once roamed across the Nine Heavens…”

The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor immediately lost his temper.

However, before he could finish, everyone clearly heard the sound of a heavy rotten door being pushed open.

The hearts of Qin Nan and everyone else skipped a beat. They subconsciously turned to the direction in which the sound had come from.

They were shocked to see that the golden-runed coffin hidden deep inside the Immortal Nocturne Willow had opened, revealing a glamorous pale face.

The long eyebrows shuddered as the eyelids slowly opened, revealing a pair of faint golden eyes staring back at them.

Even though the person was not unleashing her aura, Qin Nan, the Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor, the Immortal Emperors, and the beasts felt a great chill running down their spine with their hair standing on its end.

Supreme Rudao isn’t dead yet?

“Ugh, wasn’t I supposed to be asleep for two thousand years? Why did I wake up in advance? But then…I should really thank you for saving me so much time.”

Supreme Rudao blinked at the Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor.

It was supposed to be a flirtatious act, yet in the Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor’s eyes, it almost scared the shit out of him as if it was a deadly attack.

Crap!

He had done messed up!

He somehow woke Supreme Rudao up!

Was the content of the ancient scroll he found a trap too?

“Unfortunately, you’ve barged into my palace and leave it in a huge mess. I’m afraid you will have to compensate for it,” Supreme Rudao said calmly.

As soon as she finished the sentence, the Immortal Nocturne Willow swayed wildly despite the absence of wind. Its icy branches rose into the air and intertwined, forming a barrier that encapsulated everyone present. It felt as if they were trapped inside the branches.

“Time to go!”

Qin Nan quickly reacted. He unleashed his immortal force and formed giant hand grabbing at the ancient beasts.

At the same time, he executed the Sky-Stride Blow and disappeared into the lake.

The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor quickly collected his thoughts too. He let out a scream and set a few hundred of the primary blood that he had saved up over a long time before dashing into the lake.

“Huh?”

The eyes of Supreme Rudao flickered with astonishment.

Did the young man know something? Or was it just a coincidence?
