Chapter 1027 – The Crescent Sun City Battle

Qin Nan had passed several areas with ancient towns and cities before he finally came to a stop after flying non-stop for four hours.

The ground a few li ahead was pitch-black with an ancient giant city that stood firmly, which was constructed with the Bloodthirsty Demonic Mineral, giving it a crimson-red appearance and an eerie aura. It was also emitting a dawn-like glow under the sunlight.

Currently, countless cultivators were making their way to its entrance, each possessing a powerful cultivation.

The name of the city was the Crescent Sun City, and behind it was the Desolated Battle Ground.

Therefore, many of the cultivators who were heading to the half-God region or the Desolated Battle Ground would rest there at the city while gathering the latest information.

“The Desolated Battle Ground is behind it?”

Qin Nan glanced into the sky and squinted. The blood in his body had begun to race without him knowing.

He could sense great battle intent roaming across the place behind the Crescent Sun City, as if it were a world made of battle intent.

“This Desolated Battle Ground is nothing ordinary indeed. I can only observe its outer appearance, thus I can’t imagine what it’s like inside it…”

Qin Nan murmured as his eyes flickered.

He was completely intrigued now.

Since he was the successor of the Divine God of Battle, he felt familiar toward places filled with battle intent, especially those that were stronger.

“I shall take a look inside the city.”

Qin Nan landed at the entrance to the city.

The people guarding the entrance were not guards, but ten bulky men that stood on either side. On their shoulders were the patterns of a bloody scorpion and a black dragon respectively.

“The Blood Scorpion is here, identify yourself!”

“The Black Dragon is here, identify yourself!”

Two among the bulky men spoke expressionlessly as Qin Nan and a group of cultivators arrived.

“Blood Scorpion? Black Dragon?” Qin Nan was confused as he took out the badge of the Dragon Emperor Clan.

The two men were astounded before they invited Qin Nan into the city with their gesture.

The cultivator behind him wore an unfriendly expression upon seeing this as he snapped, “Why do I have to pay a thousand Monarch Crystals when he can enter for free?”

“Are you new here?” The man with the pattern of a bloody scorpion on his shoulder said with a hollow laugh, “That is the rule here. You must either have a highly-respected status, or a cultivation of the eighth-layer Martial Progenitor Realm and above. In his case, he’s a Peak Leader of the Dragon Emperor Clan. Do you think there’s any problem in him entering for free?”

The cultivator was stunned, as he did not expect Qin Nan to have such an identity. He proceeded to pay them the Monarch Crystals.

Qin Nan was well aware of the situation taking place.

“It appears that the Bloody Scorpion and the Black Dragon are the two factions controlling this Crescent Sun City.” Qin Nan nodded as he glanced ahead.

The streets were crowded with cultivators.

On both sides of the streets were vendors selling artifacts, pills, maps, etc.

Qin Nan was astonished as he took a quick glimpse.

He had seen at least more than ten peak Martial Progenitor Realm experts with a quick glance, let alone countless Martial Progenitors in the ninth, eighth, seventh, and sixth layers. There were only a few fifth-layer Martial Progenitors or below.

Furthermore, he had also seen the inner disciples from more than ten Two-Starred Factions.

“That was only a single street. How many experts does the entire Crescent Sun City have now? As expected of the Desolated Battle Ground, to attract so many people here!”

Qin Nan mumbled to himself before his gaze suddenly turned cold.

He was aware that several people on the street were focusing their gaze on his figure. Even though they had concealed their appearance with some powerful methods, he still managed to peek through their disguise.

The people of the Shadow Pagoda!

“I did forget something, many factions are looking for me because of the treasure left by the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch.” Qin Nan’s eyes flickered as he continued walking.

Since his identity was already exposed, he could not care less that they were stalking him. He decided to get rid of them after arriving at the Desolated Battle Ground.

“Mm? The Sunset of the Crescent Sun?”

Qin Nan saw the name of a three-floored palace constructed with a type of ancient wood. He quickly took a peek with his left eye of the Divine God of Battle.

It was an inn.

“Let’s check this place out.”

Qin Nan made his decision.

His understanding of the Desolated Battle Ground was still limited to the information on the All-Knowing Scroll of the Middle Continent, thus it was important for him to seek more information.

He could hear loud noises as he entered the place.

“HAHA, not that I’m boasting, I met a female disciple of the Fallen Demon Villa recently. Despite her ordinary cultivation, her skills in other areas were very impressive.”

“Tsk tsk, the female disciples of the Fallen Demon Villa are well-known for that.”

“Sigh, have you heard? It seems like something fun is happening in the inner sector. The leaders of the Bloody Scorpion and the Black Dragon are making their way there. Even some sons of Martial Monarchs are here too.”

“How does that have anything to do with us? We aren’t allowed to enter the inner sector.”

Qin Nan found himself an empty table and ordered a pot of tea.

There were only a few cultivators on the first-floor, thus Qin Nan’s arrival did not attract too much attention.

“Yo, have you just arrived at the Crescent Sun City? Which sect are you from? Why are you drinking tea at an inn like this?” At that instant, a mocking voice could be heard.

The person speaking was a bald middle-aged man, whose shoulder had the pattern of a bloody scorpion. He glanced down at Qin Nan with an obvious hint of disdain.

His cultivation was at the sixth-layer Martial Progenitor Realm.

The cultivators on the other tables glanced in their direction without being surprised. They were used to seeing this in the city.

Qin Nan frowned without replying.

“Kid, are you deaf?” The bald man said with a grin, “I see that your cultivation is also at the sixth-layer Martial Progenitor Realm, I believe you do have some impressive background, but you have no choice but to follow the rules of the Crescent Sun City since you’re here. How about this, one thousand Monarch Crystals and I’ll leave you alone.”

Qin Nan scanned the surroundings and saw the cultivators looking at him gloatingly.

“No way.” Qin Nan withdrew his gaze and said calmly.

“No?” The bald man’s eyes widened as he unleashed a shocking murderous intent and snapped, “Such a disrespectful kid, do you think you can be fearless just because you’re from a Two-Starred Faction? I will surely teach you a great lesson today——AH!”

Qin Nan threw a punch toward the bald man’s chest.

The latter uttered a cry of agony as he felt like he was struck by a giant mountain, sending his figure flying into the wall, which resulted in a huge hole.

The noisy inn instantly quietened down, as the cultivators held their breaths.

They could obviously sense Qin Nan’s cultivation was at the sixth-layer Martial Progenitor Realm from his aura, but to their surprise, he had managed to knock a sixth-layer Martial Progenitor flying with a random punch.

This implied that his real strength was at least at the seventh-layer Martial Progenitor Realm or above.

“HAHA, as expected of the ninety-six ranked on the Monarch Ranking, the Peak Leader of the Dragon Emperor Clan’s Human Peak, Qin Nan. Such impressive strength, just as the rumors mentioned!” A great laugh could be heard coming from the second floor of the inn.
