Peerless Battle Spirit

Chapter 2314: Apologize for Three Things

Meanwhile, inside the Undying Cycle Mountain...

"Qin Nan, what happened to the Nine Dragons Seal?" Zhou Xundao and Jiaye asked.

"Qin Nan, what was that?" Heaven Highness Linghuang, Princess Miao Miao, and the others looked at Qin Nan concernedly, especially the women who were worried about him.

"The artifact inside me warns me not to visit the Blue Heavens. I'll be killed in the Middle Mysterious Realm. It suggested me to use another approach, by going back to the ancient era," Qin Nan said after collecting his thoughts.

"Going back to the ancient era?" the eyes of Zhou Xundao and Jiaye widened.

They completely forgot about it.

"You will be killed? Why is that?" Elder Linghuang and the others immediately asked.

Qin Nan briefly explained the reason. Heaven Highness Linghuang and the others immediately frowned.

Things were a lot tricker in this case.

Qin Nan smiled and said, "Seniors, there's no need to feel so down. Don't we still have another option?"

Heaven Highness Linghuang shook his head and said, "Qin Nan, you might be unaware, but the Shidao Tribe, Mumen Sect, Lu Clan, and the others had been trying the same thing for thousands of years."

"But, from what I know, not only did they never succeed, the cultivation of many even declined instead of improved."

"In addition to it, it's extremely risky to go back to the ancient era. Many Rulers of Dao had fallen while trying it."

Qin Nan was startled.

Was it really that unreliable?

That should not be the case. If the Nine Dragons Seal had suggested it...

"Seniors, let's not worry too much for now. Why don't we meet the Shidao Tribe first?" Qin Nan said.

"Fine, there's always a way. We must remain hopeful!" Heaven Highness Linghuang took a deep breath and said, "The Shidao Tribe is hiding in a dangerous land. I'll bring you to them."

He swung his sleeve and unleashed a great power to encapsulate everyone.

Thirty breaths later, they felt their bodies loosening up in the rift.

The place ahead was blazing red with strange-looking mountains clustering in the distance. Strange plants and flowers were growing all over them.

Qin Nan immediately noticed a formidable aura encapsulating the area to separate it from the outside world.

On top of it, the mountains, even as small as the stones were imbued with deadly energy.

Even a peak Ruler of Dao might die when trying to break through the defense forcibly.

"Patriarch Xiang Yuan, Qin Nan is with me. Please open up," Heaven Highness Linghuang said.

The five mountains in the middle shook vigorously and released a thick mist.

The gate was an ancient Dao Seeking Weapon!

More than twenty figures walked out from the gate, including five young cultivators in the Master Realm. One of them had even met Qin Nan before.

They were the young talents of the Shidao Tribe!

Furthermore, more than ten of them were peak Masters of Dao.

An old man with white hair stood in the middle. His face was extremely pale. A peak Ruler of Dao with a square face was helping the old man. He was struggling to take every step.

"Mm?"

Qin Nan immediately noticed the old man's weak life force despite his cultivation of the peak Ruler Realm. He was obviously severely injured.

"Patriarch Xiang Yuan, what happened? Weren't you fine just a few days ago?" Heaven Highness Linghuang asked.

"Master Linghuang, I took a hit from Heaven Highness Lu Fang last time. I thought I was fine, but my injuries have worsened recently. They have devoured a huge portion of my vitality."

Xiang Yuan let out a sigh. He came to a stop and brought his fists together at Qin Nan, "Cultivator Qin Nan, I'm sorry that I'm unable to welcome you warmly."

Qin Nan immediately returned the favor and said, "Senior, if you are in a bad condition. I can just go inside and see you. Why do you have to receive me out here? It's inappropriate for me."

Xiang Yuan coughed and forced a smile, "It's what I'm supposed to do. In some way, you are the real Patriarch of the Shidao Tribe!"

The middle-aged man beside him and the rest of the people looked at Qin Nan with mixed feelings.

Qin Nan was startled. Xiang Yuan spoke before he could say a word, "Cultivator Qin Nan, before we get down to business, the Shidao Tribe would like to apologize to you on three matters."

"First, the Shidao Tribe is sorry for trying to hunt you down after knowing you are the Young Master's successor!"

"Second, the Shidao Tribe didn't lend you a hand when you were in danger."

"Third we have only allocated a memorial tablet in the mausoleum for the Young Master just a few months ago."

The people of the Shidao Tribe bowed at Qin Nan sternly.

Heaven Highness Linghuang and the others exchanged glances.

"Cultivator Qin Nan, please don't misunderstand. We didn't do all these to ask for some benefits in return, nor is our tribe purposely lowering our heads because we are desperate."

Xiang Yuan sighed, "Ever since the ancient battle, our tribe has been declining for generations. Many seniors and I have been reflecting on what we did to the Young Master."

"It might be inappropriate for the Young Master to acknowledge an outsider as his master to pursue his ambition, but it doesn't give us an excuse to treat him as a disgrace and accuse him of treason."

"Unfortunately, we have failed to come to our senses earlier. Some of our people are too stubborn to admit it. They only learned their mistake after they died to protect our tribe from Heaven Highness Lu Fang."

"Our tribe has declined because we have been too inflexible for a long time!"
