Chapter 1737 - Qin Nan's Wrath

It was pretty obvious why the three core disciples had shown up.

Changkong immediately transmitted a thought to Qin Nan, “Junior Brother Qin, this young man is You Hong, he’s Immortal Emperor Duling’s son. The man and woman beside him are…”

He added after explaining who the three cultivators were, “I heard Immortal Emperor Duling has long planned to give the Dark Underworld Wood to his son so he could achieve the Greater Success Stage of the Dao Realm.”

He fell silent after finishing the sentence. He did not seem to have the intention to resolve the situation for Qin Nan.

After all, Immortal Emperor Duling was his master’s Junior Brother, thus it was not appropriate for him to intervene in his business. Besides, he was not particularly close to Qin Nan. He was not obliged to help him.

Qin Nan immediately came to a realization. The explanation had cleared his doubts.

It explained why Immortal Emperor Duling was holding a grudge against him, and why You Hong and his friends had shown up to trouble him.

“Senior Brothers…”

Qin Nan pondered for a moment. He brought his fists together as he was trying to explain why he needed the Dark Underworld Wood.

Although he was quite displeased by the attitude of the three core disciples and Immortal Emperor Duling, he would not be pleased too if he was in their shoes.

However, before he could finish, the muscular bloke called Cheng Fang let out a hollow laugh and said, “Who’s your Senior Brother? Stop acting like you’re close to us! Qin Nan, stop wasting our time. The Dark Underworld Wood is Senior Brother You’s. You better hand it over at once!”

You Hong patted on Qin Nan’s shoulder and said with a calm smile, “Qin Nan, Cheng Fang isn’t that good at expressing himself, thus he might sound a little harsh. However, he’s right that I need the Dark Underworld Wood.”

“Your Dao Foundation has been destroyed. It wouldn’t make any difference even if you refine the Dark Underworld Wood. It’s better to give it to me. Don’t you worry, I will definitely repay your kindness.”

The words sounded friendly on the surface, but anyone could easily sense the pride and disdain of his tone.

However, the inner disciples, including Changkong were nodding in agreement.

It was a waste for Qin Nan to refine an Immortal Blessing resource like the Dark Underworld Wood. It was better to give it to You Hong.

Qin Nan’s expression fell slightly colder after hearing the words, yet he had gotten used to being treated disdainfully, thus he did not lose his temper right away. He shook his head and said, “I’m sorry, I’m going to use the Dark Underworld Wood to save my lovers. I won’t give it you Senior Brother. If you will excuse me…”

Qin Nan turned around and left. He had no intention to waste his time further.

The inner disciples, including You Hong and his crew did not expect Qin Nan to reject the suggestion so decisively.

“Wait a second!”

You Hong snapped upon collected his thoughts. His voice echoed across the place.

Qin Nan came to a stop. He asked calmly without turning around, “Senior Brother, is there anything else you need?”

You Hong took a step forward. The smile on his face was replaced by a menacing look, “Qin Nan, do you really think you can bluff me with such a bad excuse?”

“Even if you’re really using it to save your lovers, is saving your lovers’ life more important than helping me to achieve the Greater Success Stage?”

“I’ll give you one more chance since you are the Patriarch’s honorable disciple. You better be sensible and hand over the Dark Underworld Wood!”

Cheng Fang and the woman in a green dress wore cold looks as they went forward to surround Qin Nan.

Qin Nan shuddered. His calm expression was replaced by an icy look with a strong murderous intent.

He could still understand why they were disrespecting him or treating him with disdain, thus he was not too fussed about it.

However, did You Hong just disrespect Princess Miao Miao and Jiang Bilan too?

Qin Nan slowly turned around. He glared at You Hong and said expressionlessly, “Is saving my lovers’ life more important? Even a Nine Heavens Supreme or Immortal Blessing treasures are less than ten thousand times as important as they are to me!”

“You Hong, if you don’t want to die, you better drop to your knees and apologize to them now!”

The inner disciples and Changkong were greatly astounded by the words.

Did Qin Nan just ask You Hong to drop to his knees and apologize?

Was he out of his mind?

You Hong was stunned too. A fit of strong anger rose inside his heart as he snapped, “Qin Nan, who do you think you are? How dare you ask me to apologize to you! Do you think…”

Before he could finish, the woman in a green dress transmitted her thoughts to him all of a sudden. The anger burning in his heart dissipated slightly as his eyes flickered cunningly.

“Qin Nan, you are an honorable man, but to me, your lovers are worthless like mere ants! You can’t accept it, right? Don’t you want me to apologize to you? Very well, I’ll give you a chance!”

The disdain in You Hong’s eyes grew stronger, “They are holding a gathering for the geniuses. Let’s have a duel there. If you lose, you will hand over the Dark Underworld Wood.”

“If I lose, I’ll kneel before you and apologize. Do you dare to accept it?”

They were a little intimidated by Qin Nan’s background. They would have to bear some consequences if they simply took the Dark Underworld Wood from Qin Nan with force.

Besides, the Sky Taihuang Sect strictly forbade the disciples from hurting one another even though they were allowed to set up duels. As such, they would find themselves in trouble if they tried to take Qin Nan’s possession with force.

By challenging Qin Nan to a duel, not only would Qin Nan have to hand over the Dark Underworld Wood willingly, they could use the outcome to humiliate Qin Nan to vent their grudge against him.

“Junior Brother Qin Nan, don’t do…”

Changkong quickly transmitted his voice.

Qin Nan was once unbeatable among the Peerless Geniuses in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, but his Dao Foundation had already been destroyed. How could he possibly stand a chance against You Hong?

Qin Nan ignored the warning. He looked at You Hong and squinted, “I don’t mind having a duel with you, but just apologizing won’t be enough.”

“If you really want to fight, we’ll make it a duel of life and death.”

Qin Nan had to admit that You Hong was very good at getting on his nerves. The words he just said had successfully infuriated him.

Every person had their own reverse scale, and for him, it was his women, his brothers, and his family.

“A duel of…life and death?”

The disciples and Changkong were stunned.

Was this Qin Nan feeling confident, or was he really out of his mind?

Even You Hong and his crew were dumbfounded by the challenge. However, You Hong’s lips soon curled upward disdainfully.

Qin Nan was most likely just trying to scare them away, or he did have a trump card. Either way, there was no reason for him to be afraid.

“Sure, I accept your challenge. A duel of life and death it is. Let’s head over to the dojo now!”
