Peerless Battle Spirit

Chapter 1085 - Cripple Your Own Cultivation

…The Demon Cage of the Heaven-Earth Jail…

The ten cultivators felt their knees loosening as they dropped to the ground when they saw Wang Liyan, Bai Ling, Bai Xiangsheng, and the others approaching them.

These people were the Emperor, the Empress, the Nation General, and the rest of the authorities!

Normally, they would only gather on grand occasions such as the Bodhi Chanting Ceremony. However, they were all here at the Demon Cage because of a mere fifth-layer Martial Sacred Realm young man!

“Cultivator Qin Nan, this is the current Emperor, and the Empress, Prime Minister, two Royal Highnesses, and three ministers.” Chen Changli quickened his pace as he approached the Demon Cage and said.

“Oh.”

A calm voice could be heard coming from the inside.

The authorities were startled. They did not expect Qin Nan’s attitude to be so cold.

“How bold, being impolite to the Emperor!” Two peak Martial Sacred Realm guards snapped ferociously.

“Forget it, there’s no need to be so formal.” Wang Liyan waved his hand and glanced at the pitch-black entrance as he smilingly said, “Cultivator Qin Nan, it was all the Ministry of Justice’s fault. I’ve already punished the Minister of Justice for you. You can now come out from there, and come to the palace with us.”

Bai Ling’s eyes were filled with a complicated and unsatisfied look.

She no longer had control over the situation.

“Sorry, I’m not going out.” Qin Nan rejected without hesitation.

“Not going out?”

At that instant, in addition to the crowd, even Wang Liyan was stunned.

He had already lowered his stance to meet him in person. It didn’t make sense for Qin Nan to continue making a scene out of it.

Wang Liyan’s eyes flickered unpleasantly, but he did not lose his ground as he asked, “Why not?”

Qin Nan let out a hollow laugh, “Emperor, are you trying to do justice for me? Bai Qi was only trying to kill me under the Empress’ order. He’s nothing but a sacrificial pawn. If you really want justice to be served and let me walk out from this Demon Cage, my request is simple——”

He paused for a moment before saying in an indifferent tone, “Let Bai Ling cripple her own cultivation as a way to apologize.”

Hearing this, Wang Liyan, Bai Ling, Bai Xiangsheng, the Minister of Martial Arts, the Minister of Academics, and the rest were startled.

They clearly knew the person responsible for putting Qin Nan into the Demon Cage.

However, they never thought Qin Nan would demand Bai Ling cripple her cultivation!

Are you being serious!

Bai Ling was the Empress of their dynasty. Although she had done something wrong, it was impossible for her to cripple her cultivation. Otherwise, the Royal Family would entirely lose their reputation when it was made known to the public.

Bai Ling, Bai Xiangsheng, and the Minister of Justice were overjoyed instead of being furious.

This Qin Nan was being so disrespectful, daring to say such demands under the circumstances. His words were challenging the Emperor’s authority without a doubt!

The situation would be in their favor soon!

As they expected, Wang Liyan’s expression became cold instantly. His half-Martial Progenitor Realm aura swept the corridor, causing everyone to clearly sense his wrath.

He had shown himself to help Qin Nan because he owed a cultivator of the Black Dragon a favor. Secondly, he speculated that Qin Nan would have some formidable background, thus he was planning to establish a friendly relationship with him.

However, this Qin Nan had demanded the Empress cripple her cultivation right in front of him?

Did this Qin Nan think that he could do whatever he wanted just because he had some background and the support of a cultivator from the Black Dragon?

Didn’t he know that the currently third-ranked genius on the Monarch Ranking, Chen Zilai, was the guardian of the Southern Continent!

Many Two-Starred Factions of the Middle Continent did not dare to trouble their Southern Continent because of his presence. Where did this Qin Nan get his courage from?

“Young man, stop being ridiculous and unreasonable. I’ll give you one last chance. You come out from there, apologize to Bai Ling, and I won’t blame you for being disrespectful!” Wang Liyan snapped coldly.

Qin Nan instantly burst out laughing, “HAHA, making me apologize and not blaming me? Either way, I’ve said it all. If you insist on protecting Bai Ling, if she doesn’t cripple her own cultivation, I’ll trample your Royal City into ashes!”

As he said the last sentence, a terrifying murderous aura was unleashed from the Demon Cage.

Qin Nan had only compromised by asking Bai Ling to cripple her cultivation because of Chen Buhui and Chen Zilai. There was no point in discussing it further if the Emperor would not agree to accept his demands.

The empress Bai Ling, Bai Xiangsheng, and the rest were dumbfounded. They never expected Qin Nan would dare to say such disrespectful words!

Meanwhile, Chen Changli was completely overjoyed. If Qin Nan were to topple the Royal Family, didn’t that mean their Chen Clan would be able to replace them?

“Very well, how wonderful, I’ve never seen someone like you, demanding the Empress cripple her cultivation and threaten to trample the Royal City! I can’t wait to see how you’re going to do that!” Green veins surfaced on Wang Liyan’s forehead as he snapped with an icy gaze, “Listen up, activate the Demon Cage to its full power, and suppress Qin Nan for a hundred years. He’s not allowed to leave without spending a hundred years inside!”

Saying this, he swung his sleeves and was about to leave the place.

The empress Bai Ling, the Minister of Justice, and the others wore grins as they collected their thoughts, feeling extremely pleasant seeing the outcome. This Qin Nan had completely infuriated the emperor. Even if he had some kind of background, there was no way he was leaving this place in the next hundred years!

However, at that instant, above the Heaven-Earth Jail…

A man wearing a black outfit suddenly appeared from a rift. He slashed downward with the long sword in his hand, firing a brilliant sword intent. Before the guards and Fiery Soldiers surrounding the Ministry of Justice could react in time, a great explosion took place.

The sword intent had produced a thirty-zhang deep ravine, splitting the Heaven-Earth Jail in half.

Bai Ling, Bai Xiangsheng, and the others who were in the deepest corridor of the Heaven-Earth Jail were stunned when they saw the entire place was shattered in half.

“Protect the emperor!”

The two guards yelled as they stood on both sides.

As the dynasty’s emperor, Wang Liyan reacted swiftly as he raised his head and said with flickering eyes, “Who are you? Why did you attack the Heaven-Earth Jail of our Ministry of Justice?”

Whoosh!

The man in the black outfit flew toward the corridor.

He was wearing a black mask, and the cloth around his chest had the pattern of a black dragon.

He completely ignored Wang Liyan as his set his eyes onto the Demon Cage.

“You’re from the Black Dragon?”

Wang Liyan frowned.

The empress Bai Ling, Bai Xiangsheng, and the rest of the authorities frowned too.

The Black Dragon was one of the two greatest factions of the Desolated Battle Ground, thus they were extremely familiar with them.

However, why would someone from the Black Dragon be here?

Was it because of Qin Nan?

The thought had just crossed their mind when the masked man growled, “Come out, I’ve found him.”

Whoosh whoosh whoosh…

Four other figures descended from the sky.

Their auras all indicated their cultivations to be at the half-Martial Progenitor Realm.

Wang Liyan’s eyes widened slightly as the two guards beside him tensed their figures as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

“Greetings, are you all here because of Qin Nan?” Wang Liyan asked probingly.

“Mm, you must be the emperor? Please step aside.”

The five nodded as they walked past the crowd and went up to the black entrance. The four cultivators who were not wearing a mask immediately became polite and respectful.

“Brother Nan, we’re here.”

The words served as a great explosion.
