The Qian Emperor erupted with a powerful aura of malevolence.
As one of the eight supreme beings of the human race, an ultimate existence.
When had he ever been so belittled?
Chen Nan's words and actions were like slapping him in the face.
This was unbearable for him.
Not to mention that this person had also severely injured the Snow Country envoy, causing them to lose all face.
It was said that
The Empress was extremely furious upon hearing this.
He truly wished he could capture Chen Nan and send him to Snow Country.
Send him before the Empress!!!
But in the end, reason triumphed over rage.
The Desolate Ancient Sacred Body could not step into the Earth Immortal realm.
This was a curse.
Chen Nan not only broke the curse but even reached the second level of the Earth Immortal realm.
And his strength was extraordinary.
Even if he attacked, he might not be able to capture the opponent.
Also,
Emperor Yan must have told him about his admiration for the Empress.
If so, why did the other party still dare to come to the Qian Kingdom?
It meant he possessed extraordinary means.
Not to mention his relationship with the Dragon Clan.
Even if he could capture Chen Nan and send him to the Empress, it would inevitably worsen relations with the Dragon Clan.
The gain would not be worth the loss.
Taking a deep breath.
The Qian Emperor waved his hand casually.
That divine pill prescription floated towards Chen Nan.
"Although I dislike you, there is no one in the world, other than you, who is qualified to receive this prescription, and only you have the ability to refine a divine pill."
"Since that is the case, then I shall fulfill your wish."
The Qian Emperor's action was beyond Chen Nan's expectation.
Although he desperately wanted the prescription.
However.
If he truly accepted it today.
He would owe the Qian Emperor a great favor.
For him, a debt of gratitude was the hardest to repay.
Chen Nan opened his mouth: "I never take things for free. You should name your price."
"I haven't thought of it yet," the Qian Emperor revealed a cunning smile.
He had gambled correctly.
Chen Nan was a person who valued loyalty and kept his promises.
Such a person feared owing favors the most.
It was tantamount to having him in his grasp!
This kind of leverage brought him more satisfaction than defeating him.
"You are formidable."
"I yield."
"I owe you a favor."
"If there is ever a need, and if I am capable of doing so, I will do my best!"
Chen Nan was completely defeated.
The Qian Emperor's tactic of feigning retreat to advance left him with no room to maneuver.
There was no other choice but to compromise.
After all, this prescription determined whether he could refine the divine pill.
It determined whether he could open the seventh level of the immortal mansion.
It also determined the clue to achieving sainthood.
And whether he could defeat the Human Emperor.
Therefore.
Even knowing it was a trap set by the Qian Emperor, he had to jump into it.
Seeing Chen Nan about to leave, the Qian Emperor said: "Can you tell me about your relationship with the Dragon Clan?"
Although he had sent Guo Kai to investigate this matter.
This was the most secret information of the Dragon Clan, and it was impossible to find out.
"No!"
Chen Nan replied concisely, and his figure vanished into thin air.
"Hiss!"
"How can this guy be so fast?"
Guo Kai gasped, clearly not expecting Chen Nan's movement technique to be so swift.
Even he, a ninth-level Immortal Emperor, did not see how he left.
"If I'm not mistaken, that looks like the Great Peng Technique," the Qian Emperor said with a solemn expression, a thick layer of goosebumps rising on his skin without a sound.
Guo Kai exclaimed: "What? The Great Peng Technique?"
"The bloodline inheritance technique of the Golden-Winged Great Peng Bird?"
"No, no, no, no, no..."
"Chen Nan is human, how can he learn the divine ability of the Golden-Winged Great Peng Bird?"
"And,"
"The Golden-Winged Great Peng Bird and the Dragon Clan are mortal enemies."
"How can he coexist with the Golden-Winged Great Peng's divine abilities and his relationship with the Dragon Clan?"
The Qian Emperor seemed to have thought of something, his face turning solemn.
He rubbed his temples.
A little uneasy, he said: "There is an ancient prophecy, it is said that a super expert will come from the Demon Realm and will unify the entire Immortal Realm."
Guo Kai's body bristled with fear, a shiver running down his spine: "Your Majesty, are you saying that person might be Chen Nan?"
"Besides him, there should be no one else?" A strong sense of dread rose in the Qian Emperor's heart.
If he had truly attacked Chen Nan just now.
Even if he had defeated Chen Nan.
What would be the consequences?
Would the five ninth-level Demon Emperors of the Demon Realm lead the powerful beings of the Demon Realm to attack?
If that were the case, it would be absolutely devastating.
The Qian Kingdom's strength would not be able to withstand it.
Guo Kai excitedly said: "Your Majesty, if Chen Nan is indeed the one prophesied to rule the Immortal Realm."
"He owes you a huge favor today, which is truly a great gain for you!"
"With his abilities, if he can grow to his full potential."
"His future is truly limitless."
The Qian Emperor's eyes lit up.
Right.
Chen Nan's talent was so terrifying.
If he himself could not overcome that tribulation.
He could completely ask Chen Nan to guard him.
"Your Majesty, good news, good news, Your Majesty."
An old man in a green robe, with messy hair and an unkempt appearance, flew into the grand hall.
The Qian Emperor smiled and said: "What good news can make the State Preceptor Guan so flustered?"
Guan Zong.
The State Preceptor of the Qian Kingdom.
He controlled the Qian Kingdom's protective formation.
Guan Zong said excitedly: "Our Qian Kingdom's protective formation had a malfunction earlier."
The Qian Emperor's expression changed: "It had a malfunction? When? Why didn't I sense it?"
"Just now," Guan Zong said, "But it's not important, what's important is..."
Before he could finish speaking.
The Qian Emperor suddenly stood up, a trace of anger in his eyes: "Our Qian Kingdom's protective formation malfunctioned, and this is not important? If this is not important, then what is?"
The protective formation was a country's last line of defense.
Although there had been no wars in the Immortal Realm.
That defense line could not be breached.
This concerned the lives and fortunes of billions of beings.
Guan Zong said nervously: "Our protective formation has been upgraded to a ninth-level formation."
"What? Upgraded to a ninth-level formation?" Guo Kai's scalp tingled: "Wasn't our Qian Kingdom's protective formation an eighth-level formation? Can such things upgrade automatically?"
"It's rather astonishing!"
Guan Zong said: "The automatic upgrade of formations is indeed unheard of, but it has truly happened."
He then looked at the Qian Emperor and said: "Your Majesty's good fortune is immense, this is heaven protecting our Qian Kingdom!"
Unexpectedly, the Qian Emperor flew into a rage: "Heaven protecting my ass!"
"Get out!"
"Get out of here!"
Guan Zong was stunned.
It was clearly good news.
Why was His Majesty so angry?
Although he didn't know the reason, he immediately withdrew from the Golden Luang Hall.
"Your Majesty, why did you get so angry at the State Preceptor Guan?" Guo Kai asked with a puzzled look.
Guan Zong held a high position in the Qian Kingdom, and the Qian Emperor respected him greatly.
But today, he had changed from his usual demeanor.
He even told him to get out.
"Do you really think our Qian Kingdom's protective formation upgraded on its own?" The Qian Emperor's face was grim, and a powerful aura of malevolence erupted from within him.
Guo Kai was stunned for a moment, then said: "Your Majesty, you don't mean to say that Chen Nan helped upgrade our Qian Kingdom's protective formation, do you?"
The Qian Emperor gritted his teeth and said: "Besides him, who else in heaven and earth has such means?"
"Even Cao Fengzi cannot upgrade an eighth-level formation in an instant!"
Guo Kai was confused: "Even if Chen Nan improved our Qian Kingdom's formation."
"But this is a cause for celebration, why are you so angry?"
