Peerless Battle Spirit

Chapter 1783 - Subduing the Dao Spirit

The immortal flames in Qin Nan’s eyes flickered.

His past life!

It had something to do with his past life again!

The Purple Crystal that the Beast Hide Drawing took away, the fact that he could reforge his Dao Foundation in the Supreme Cave Abode, and the drop of demon blood he had obtained were all related to his past life.

Qin Nan was extremely curious about his past life.

What kind of a person he was? What level of cultivation did he achieve? Why was his past life still influencing his current life so much even after he had died and reborn as a different person?

Little did Qin Nan know, Empress Feiyue was extremely confused too.

She was well aware of who the Ten Immortals were.

She could understand if it had something to do with the Divine God of Battle, the Beast Hide Drawing, or the old man in a gray robe, since they had all come from the same faction.

But why would the Seventh Immortal, Demon Emperor Wutian be involved too?

According to what she knew, Demon Emperor Wutian had nothing to do with them.

“However, this is getting quite interesting. Who’s responsible for setting it up behind the scenes, and what is it trying to achieve?”

Empress Feiyue murmured in her heart. She did not tell Qin Nan about her doubts.

If the demon blood was an opening, there must be more to it. They just had to wait patiently for Qin Nan to trigger them.

“Did...did you feel anything special after refining the demon blood?”

Ling Lanlan glanced at Qin Nan with great anticipation.

Qin Nan did not hesitate to tell her the truth.

“You can control the seals in these treasures?”

Doom, Yuanji, the Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor, and the others were shocked, but their faces were soon brimming with excitement.

The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor shared the same reaction too. The anger, gloominess, and grudge in his heart completely dissipated.

Even though he had failed to claim the demon blood, he would still receive a lot of benefits if he could claim one or two of the items.

“You...you can refine the demon blood?”

Ling Lanlan’s eyes flickered with astonishment instead of brimming with joy.

She clearly knew the difference between claiming the demon blood and refining it.

It was similar to claiming an outstanding immortal sword, but it did not necessarily mean the sword had acknowledged the person to be its master.

“What is it? Do you know anything?”

Qin Nan asked immediately.

“No...nothing.”

Ling Lanlan was obviously hiding something.

She did know the consequences of refining the demon blood, but she did not dare to say it since the thing was just in that place.

“I’ll get rid of the seal restricting you now.”

Qin Nan smiled. He did not ask any further.

He directed his focus at the demon seal in the pond. It sparkled into flames and turned into a cloud of smoke scattering in all directions.

Ling Lanlan carefully observed the changes. She tried flying into the air and soon left the pond with ease.

“Yeah, I’ve finally escaped from that annoying forbidding formation!”

Ling Lanlan was extremely excited. Her petite figure spun a few circles on the same spot to have a taste of the long-awaited freedom.

“Ling Lanlan, it’s your turn to keep your promise. How can we claim these artifacts?” Qin Nan asked.

Yuanji, the Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor, and the others placed their attention on Ling Lanlan too.

“Well...”

Ling Lanlan blushed slightly and spoke in an embarrassed tone, “The truth is, I don’t know how to claim them either. I was just bluffing.”

The faces of Qin Nan and the others darkened.

How dare the little girl trick them?

Ling Lanlan immediately said when she saw their expressions, “But, it doesn’t mean I don’t have any idea. Since you can now control the demon seals, you can easily negotiate with these artifacts.”

The eyes of Yuanji, the Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor, and the others glittered upon hearing the words.

That’s right!

They too had seen how reluctant these artifacts were to be bound by the demon seals.

They could negotiate with these artifacts and ask them for ten years of service in exchange for their freedom.

When the time came, their strength would improve significantly. They would be able to subdue the artifacts by then.

Qin Nan’s heart skipped a beat, yet his expression remained the same. He said expressionlessly, “Ling Lanlan, it still doesn’t change the fact that you’ve lied to us.”

An icy saber intent burst out of his body.

Ling Lanlan immediately panicked.

She was just a Dao Spirit of a Blessed Immortal Land. Her cultivation was mostly equivalent to a peak Earth Immortal.

She clearly would not stand a chance against Qin Nan after seeing how terrifying his strength was.

“What...what do you want? I’m telling you, if you try to harm me, the forbidding formation of this place...”

She blurted out, but she suddenly stopped halfway.

Qin Nan had already refined the demon blood, meaning that he could easily destroy the forbidding formation too.

“What...what should I do then?”

She was a little lost.

Besides, it was true that she had lied in the first place.

“It’s very simple, this Blessed Immortal Land is mine from today onward,” Qin Nan said calmly.

How could he possibly let the chance of claiming a Blessed Immortal Land go when it was right in front of him?

“What? You’re asking me to submit to you?”

Ling Lanlan’s eyes widened. She said furiously, “No way, that’s not possible. I will not submit to anyone!”

Qin Nan grinned coldly. His right hand transformed into the Heaven-Shattering Saber. An icy saber intent spread out like a web and surrounded Ling Lanlan.

Ling Lanlan immediately shivered in fear.

“You...”

Ling Lanlan subconsciously took a few steps back. She glared at Qin Nan and said, “Aren’t you even ashamed of yourself?”

The saber intent grew stronger. It felt as if thousands of sabers would slash at her in any second.

“You...fine, I agree.”

Ling Lanlan soon surrendered with despair.

How tough was her life?

She had just broken free from a forbidding formation, yet this son of a b**ch immediately preyed on her!

Could this refer to the saying, a beautiful girl often lives an unfortunate life?’

“Don’t worry, I’m not asking you to submit to me, you can think of it as partnering with me. I will guarantee your safety, and if there are fortunate encounters, I will lend you a hand too,” Qin Nan said with a smile.

As a matter of fact, he would not harm Ling Lanlan even if she rejected him.

“For real?”

Ling Lanlan’s eyes glittered.

As a matter of fact, she knew other cultivators would capture her too if they stumbled into her.

Instead of being refined by some other cultivators, she was more willing to partner with Qin Nan.

“Yes,” Qin Nan nodded.

“Yay!”

Ling Lanlan exclaimed in joy. Her smile returned to her face.

“Say, are you two done yet? Can we just claim these artifacts first!?”
