Peerless Battle Spirit

Chapter 1175 - Anti-Heaven Alliance

As the factions of the entire Middle Continent and the half-God region were startled, Qin Nan, Gong Yang, and Sima Kong sneaked their way to the Desolated Battle Ground and arrived at a mysterious place under the control of the Blood Scorpion.

The place was built under some forbidden area of the Desolated Battle Ground, which was concealed by nature. Furthermore, the place was also protected by a powerful formation carved with monarch runes. Even if a Martial Monarch Realm expert managed to discover its existence, it would still be troublesome to break into the place with brute force.

As soon as Sima Kong entered the place, he immediately checked his surroundings with excitement, as he was intrigued by the treasure vault of the famous Blood Scorpion.

"Qin Nan, what are you going to do now?" Gong Yang asked, who also gathered Sima Kong\'s focus.

Although they had managed to escape this time, Qin Nan was currently listed as a three-starred enemy by the South-Heaven Sacred Ground. Besides, everyone wholly knew about his existence now, thus he could easily expose his whereabouts if he were to stay in the Middle Continent or the half-God region.

"I\'ll stay here for ten days, then find a way to sneak into the half-God region after the situation is calmer." Qin Nan said.

His goal was to find the pieces of the Canglan Tree. The chance was rather slim if he were to stay any longer in the Middle Continent, thus it would be better for him to search for the pieces in the half-God region.

"Find a way to sneak in?" Gong Yang keenly noticed something.

"That\'s right, during my last visit here, I already wanted to visit the half-God region. However, for some reason, I was denied access by the South-Heaven Godly Curtain." Qin Nan said with a frown.

"It already happened before?" Gong Yang was startled.

This did not make any sense. Qin Nan had not been listed as a three-starred enemy yet during his previous visit to the Desolated Battle Ground. Why would the South-Heaven Godly Curtain deny his access to the half-God region?

Did this mean there was some other reason that they had overlooked?

"Hehe, isn\'t it just a South-Heaven Godly Curtain? I can\'t believe how simple the problem you\'re having is." Sima Kong said with a proud tone, "Qin Nan, don\'t you forget, I\'m the next God of Thieves. I can easily alter your presence."

"Alter my presence? Sounds good, I\'ll need your help when the time comes then."

Qin Nan\'s eyes flickered.

Now that the problem with the South-Heaven Godly Curtain was settled, he no longer had any problem at hand.

"Qin Nan, since that\'s settled, why don\'t you consider joining a faction in the half-God region?" Gong Yang said.

"Joining a faction? Forget it." Qin Nan shook his head straight away.

He had rejected the offer from the Martial Principle Sect and the Jade-Lake Sacred Ground as the three great factions would usually work together in order to achieve some goals together.

Secondly, he was worried that he would be bound to the faction, which would hinder his plan of shattering the South-Heaven Gate.

"The faction I\'m referring to is different, it\'s the Anti-Heaven Alliance." Gong Yang\'s eyes glistened as he spoke, "The cultivator with the magical hair in a white robe who interfered and drove Martial Monarch Nanjian back was the leader of the Anti-Heaven Alliance, the Magical Hair Sword God!"

"Mm?" Qin Nan raised his eyebrows.

Even though he knew that the Magical Hair Sword God was actually a disguise of the Martial Serendipity Pavilion, he was quite curious about the Anti-Heaven Alliance.

"This Magical Hair Sword God disappeared from the Canglan Continent for no reason over two thousand years ago. However, five years ago, he suddenly reappeared and announced the establishment of the Anti-Heaven Alliance, whose focus is to destroy the South-Heaven Gate and the South-Heaven Sacred Ground!" Gong Yang said.

"Damn, this Magical Hair Sword God is so cool!" Sima Kong exclaimed.

"Destroy the South-Heaven Gate and the South-Heaven Sacred Ground?"

Qin Nan\'s heart shuddered.

He never knew such a faction existed in the half-God region.

"How can I join the Anti-Heaven Alliance?"

Qin Nan swiftly asked.

He had no intention to join the other factions, but this Anti-Heaven Alliance seemed like a perfect go-to for him.

For example, once he achieved the Martial Monarch Realm and was prepared to destroy the South-Heaven Gate, he could work together with the Anti-Heaven Alliance, increasing the chance of success.

"The Anti-Heaven Alliance has been extremely low-key and mysterious since it was established. They have never recruited any disciples, but I can guarantee that they really need new recruits. Besides, you\'re listed as a three-starred enemy, so you won\'t have any trouble joining the Anti-Heaven Alliance. I\'ll now let the people of the Blood Scorpion and Black Dragon collect the information you need."

Gong Yang took out his badge and transmitted a message.

"Brother Yang, I owe you a great deal."

Qin Nan said with a deep voice after seeing this.

If it weren\'t for Gong Yang\'s help, he would find himself in a worse situation.

"Enough with that nonsense." Gong Yang said smilingly, "Once you make your way to the half-God region, I\'ll be leaving too. I don\'t know when our next meeting will be."

"You\'re leaving too? By the way, why didn\'t you come and see me last time?" Qin Nan suddenly recalled something.

"Someone was watching me before, so I\'d expose something if I were seen meeting you." Gong Yang said casually. It was obvious that he was not willing to go deeper on the topic.

Qin Nan did not ask further. He nodded and thought of something, "I almost forgot this."

Saying this, he took out a faceless statue from his Sumeru Ring.

It was the statue that he had coincidentally stumbled into at the Yellow Spring Shop, which seemed to be tightly related to the Nine Words Martial God.

"Isn\'t this…"

Gong Yang was utterly shocked.

He did not expect that the thing he had been searching for all this time was actually in Qin Nan\'s hand.

"Qin Nan, can you…give that to me?" Gong Yang lost his ground for once as he spoke in a trembling voice.

"Of course." Qin Nan handed the faceless statue over without hesitation.

"Thanks! This means a lot to me! I\'ll excuse myself first!" Gong Yang blurted out before leaving the place in a panic.

"Why is that guy being so impatient? Well, that works too. Now I can see what exactly this Blood Scorpion has collected…" Sima Kong chuckled as his figure transformed into mist venturing deeper into the place.

Qin Nan was left speechless. He sat down on the ground and began cultivating.

The place did have a great supply of Qi, thus Qin Nan was not willing to spend the ten days doing nothing.

Time gradually passed.

The previous uproar in the Middle Continent and the half-God region gradually calmed down.

The South-Heaven Sacred Ground, Jade-Lake Sacred Ground, and the Martial Principle Sect of the half-God region began sending their disciples to the Middle Continent to start recruiting fresh blood.

Even after Qin Nan had crushed the disciples of the three great factions, many people still decided to join the three great factions.

Most importantly, Ao Cangtian had left the Dragon Emperor Clan for the God Beast Forbidden Ground. Sorceress Qian Qian had joined the Jade-Lake Sacred Ground, and after Tang Qingshan came out of seclusion, he left Qin Nan a message with his Divine Sense and left for the half-God region on his own.

Furthermore, Dao Qianzhong, Fang Changqing, the Faceless Cultivator, etc., among the famous geniuses of the Middle Continent, only the minority had decided to stay. Most of them had made up their minds to join the three great factions or move to the half-God region.

Fifteen days later, Qin Nan\'s eyes finally sprang open.

"It\'s time, let\'s go!"
