Chapter 1059 – Mysterious Black Figure

Whoosh!
As Qin Nan landed above the Golden Head, seven sharp gazes were directed onto his figure.
“Qin Nan?”
“It’s you?”
Five men and two women stood in front of Qin Nan with dumbfounded expressions.
Qin Nan activated his left eye of the Divine God of Battle as he glimpsed at them. He immediately learned their cultivation levels.
The young man with a demonic aura had reached the ninth-layer Martial Progenitor Realm, the strongest among the seven cultivators. The rest of them were all eighth-layer Martial Progenitors.
However, similar to Qin Nan, they all had a Rare Phenomenon Martial Tree each and various capabilities, granting them an outstanding strength in battles.
“Look! It’s Qin Nan from the Dragon Emperor Clan! He’s on the Golden Head!”
“Damn, am I seeing it right? Why him?”
“Gasp, he must have been cultivating in seclusion for the past two months without fighting anyone. Otherwise, his ranking wouldn’t only be fifty-second!”
“It has only been a few months, and Qin Nan is already strong enough to be ranked in the top thirty!”
“Could it be that he has acquired the succession of the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch?”
The cultivators of the other three domains immediately glanced toward Qin Nan with great astonishment.
Similar to the seven geniuses on the Golden Head, they never expected Qin Nan to possess such an impressive strength.
Qin Nan calmly glanced around but he did not discover any familiar auras. He then brought his fists together toward the seven geniuses without saying a word.
The seven geniuses soon collected their thoughts. Their gazes toward Qin Nan became complicated.
Obviously, they would no longer underestimate Qin Nan’s strength.
However, the treasure left by the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch and the succession of a half-Martial God which they were interested in were still in Qin Nan’s hands!
“We are currently on the Monarch Fish, thus it’s not the best time to start a fight. Once it enters the rift, we will be able to make our move. Why don’t we team up for the time being?” The young man with the demonic aura transmitted his voice to the others.
The rest of the geniuses nodded as their eyes flickered with murderous intent.
They would work together to eliminate Qin Nan, before dividing the loot according to their strength.
However, they were quite good at hiding their intentions, not showing any murderous intent on the surface.
Qin Nan’s expression remained calm.
Prior to boarding the Monarch Fish, he had clearly anticipated the situation he would be in, thus he had prepared for this.
He would not bully the others if they did not harm him. However, if someone tried to kill him, he would show no mercy.
A while later, Ao Dongfang, Mu Mu, Su Qingqing, and the others had boarded the Monarch Fish too, while several disciples had failed along the way.
The giant Monarch Fish began to move once again, flying into the distance at a shocking pace.
Qin Nan stood on the Monarch Fish’s head and glanced into the distance. He was able to observe the mountains and cities with a clear view, as if he were observing the entire world.
“It feels incredibly great standing above such a legendary beast!”
Qin Nan could not help but exclaim.
He did not have many hobbies, but convincing powerful beasts to be his mount seemed to be one of them.
“Mm?”
Qin Nan became aware of something.
He could sense an invisible aura entering his body, which caused his strength to improve significantly.
“What’s happening?”
Qin Nan frowned and scanned with his left eye. He shook his head after failing to observe anything helpful as he wore a solemn expression.
Although he had no idea why the Monarch Ranking would send the Monarch Fish to assist the geniuses in their cultivation, he knew that the Monarch Ranking was definitely up to something.
Therefore, it was better for him to be on his guard for the rest of the journey.
At that instant, the Monarch Fish came to a stop. It did not stop above a faction, but a city that was relatively famous in the Middle Continent.
Thump thump thump!
The sound of someone stepping on the golden scales could be heard once again.
Qin Nan and the rest were flabbergasted.
Why would someone board the Golden Head from a place like this?
As they were immersed in a shock, a few hundred breaths later, a figure wearing a black robe sprang into the sky and landed above the Golden Head. Her figure was emitting a strong deathly aura.
“You’re the Death Cultivator?”
“How are you still alive?”
The seven geniuses immediately knew who she was with a single glimpse, causing their expressions to change tremendously.
The fact that she was able to board the Golden Head was a sign that her cultivation was stronger than what she had displayed.
Most importantly, she was able to survive after being hunted by a Martial Monarch?
“What?”
The Death Cultivator?”
“How did she manage to stay alive?”
The geniuses on the Monarch Fish were dumbfounded once again.
Qin Nan was startled too, as he did not expect to stumble into Jiang Bilan here.
“What’s with the look? That old jerk will have a hard time killing me once I boarded this Monarch Fish.” Jiang Bilan said calmly as her eyes flickered when she saw Qin Nan.
“What have you done?” Qin Nan could not help but ask. He was curious why Jiang Bilan would murder so many geniuses.
“Nothing much, they tried to rob me, and wanted to rape me as well.” Jiang Bilan said in a calm tone.
“Rape you?”
Qin Nan’s eyes flickered with a sinister murderous intent upon hearing this.
One of the things that he hated the most was men who tried to rape a woman.
“This Qin Nan seems quite close with the Death Cultivator. Perfect timing, we can kill them both when the time comes…”
The young man with the demonic aura transmitted his voice to the rest of the geniuses.
After killing Jiang Bilan, he would be able to exchange her corpse with great benefits from the Martial Monarch and the other factions.
The rest of the geniuses nodded in agreement.
After all, if they were to cooperate, there was no way Qin Nan and Jiang Bilan would stand a chance against them.
“Looks like they’re targeting you,” Jiang Bilan giggled, “Why does everyone want to kill you no matter where you are?”
“Aren’t you the same?”
Qin Nan was left speechless.
However, as soon as he spoke, his expression changed greatly.
The reason was that he had seen a puff of black mist floating out from a rift in space and land on the Monarch Fish’s head, which slowly transformed into a black figure.
Why would someone land on the Monarch Fish all of a sudden?
The black figure seemed to be aware that someone had noticed its presence. Before Qin Nan could react, it immediately vanished into thin air.
“What’s wrong?” Jiang Bilan asked while staring with her eyes open wide.
“Didn’t…didn’t you see that black figure?” Qin Nan calmed his thoughts after he failed to detect the presence of the black figure in his surroundings.
“What black figure?” Jiang Bilan frowned.
Qin Nan was startled, who immediately glanced at the others and realized that none of them seemed to be startled, causing his heart to shudder.
He swore that he had seen it right, there was really a black figure!
However, why was he the only one that could see it?
As he was extremely confused, the giant Monarch Fish tore the air apart and swam into the rift while waving its tail wildly.
The geniuses on the Monarch Fish gathered their focus.
It had finally begun!
