Su Xiong's eyes suddenly became horrified and he looked at Yan Mantang:
"Great Elder, do you really want him to die?" Su Xiong looked embarrassed.
"The opportunity has been given to him. Whether he lives or dies is his business. If he completes his mission and restores peace to Qingzhou, he will not only be exempted from punishment, but he will also receive the reward he deserves."
"If he is not strong enough and dies in Qingzhou, it is because he has no ability." Yan Mantang said indifferently, extremely determined, and seemed to leave no room for negotiation.
"Yan Mantang!"
Su Xiong gave a deep voice, as if suppressing the anger in his heart.
But at this moment, Qin Nan suddenly said before him:
"I've accepted this mission!"
Qin Nan said silently.
He also understood now that Yan Mantang was determined to kill him and tried every means to make him take a dead end. And now Yan Mantang's strength has also made Su Xiong afraid. Qin Nan didn't want Su Xiong to be in trouble, so he had no choice but to accept the task.
"Qin Nan, you..."
Su Xiong had some self-blame in his eyes. He had just said that Bao Longfei was fine, but now he could only remain silent.
"Senior, this result is already the best. Besides, I also want to take a look." Qin Nan interrupted Su Xiong and said.
Su Xiong nodded slightly, and then his aura suddenly became sharp:
"What about them?" Su Xiong pressured the entire audience, directly suppressing everyone with his absolute cultivation.
Yan Mantang frowned, and beneath the wrinkles and brows, there was a chill in his eyes.
"They are originally suffering masters. How should they be punished if they are hurt by this son? Could it be that the leader wants to chill the disciples of the Sword Alliance?" Yan Mantang said.
"Ah!"
But at this time, Su Xiong sneered.
Immediately, a cold look appeared in his eyes, sweeping the whole place coldly.
Everyone who was looked at by his gaze lowered their heads with panic on their faces.
"Great Elder, do you think that once you have achieved a breakthrough in cultivation, you will be able to judge the law with just one word? I'll give you face, but do you really think that I, the alliance leader, am just a decoration?" Su Xiong was angry.
Qin Nan took the initiative to take over the task, which aroused the anger in his heart.
Therefore, he must give Qin Nan an explanation.
Yan Mantang remained silent, but his expression was no longer as natural as before.
"Great Elder, Qin Nan has accepted the mission and has made meritorious deeds. But they must be punished. Yan Shisan and others were imprisoned for three days. As for the outer sect elder, let's just withdraw. Is such a waste worthy of being an elder? "
Seeing that Yan Mantang remained silent, Su Xiong spoke again and directly stated his decision.
"Okay." Yan Mantang agreed without saying much. Obviously he also understood that Su Xiong was furious now, and if the stalemate continued, it would not be good for anyone.
Afterwards, he turned and left.
"Where are the law enforcement elders? Take them all down." Su Xiong said loudly and ordered them to go down.
Immediately, a figure appeared from a distance and began to order the disciples to execute.
"Ah, no, I don't want to go to prison."
"Alliance leader, please have mercy. This disciple doesn't dare to do it anymore. He won't dare to do it anymore."
"Leader, no, I am loyal to the Sword Alliance. It took a lot of effort for me to become an elder, but you can give it up at your own risk..."
There were sounds of begging for mercy and struggles.
However, Su Xiong ignored them, and the law enforcement disciples showed no mercy. No matter how Yan Shisan, Gu Li and others begged for mercy, they were indifferent.
Soon, only Qin Nan and Su Xiong were left in the field, and even the onlookers disappeared.
Qin Nan no longer tried to hold on, his body went limp and he fell down.
Fortunately, Su Xiong's quick eyesight and quick hands caught Qin Nan, and then he drove away with his sword.
Three hours later.
Qin Nan woke up.
Looking at the environment in front of him, Qin Nan was surprised. This was definitely not his courtyard.
This place is filled with the scent of swords.
Extremely tyrannical.
Needless to say, this must be Su Xiong's retreat place.
The Immortal Sword Soul also began to tremble weakly, as if attracted by the aura here.
But Qin Nan smiled bitterly.
Yan Mantang's power was too overwhelming. He tried his best to resist the blow, but the price he paid was high. It takes some time to recover.
"you're awake!"
At this moment, Su Xiong's voice appeared.
"Thank you, senior, for saving my life. If it weren't for senior, I'm afraid I would have died at the hands of that old man." Qin Nan said bluntly.
Qin Nan would not have any respect for those who wanted to kill him, not even the sect elders.
"To be honest, I didn't expect that old guy to be so decisive and kill him directly. It's also my fault. Before he took action, I was already waiting and watching. Originally, I wanted to see how your combat power is, but I didn't expect it. He actually took action directly." Su Xiong said with a bit of guilt in his eyes.
"Senior, you don't need to think too much. It's the best for me now. But I feel that there is something wrong with this elder. He seems to be very ambitious." Qin Nan changed the subject and said.
"Everyone knows his ambition. To be honest, if it weren't for Wan'er, the position of sect leader should have been his." Su Xiong said.
This was an old story, and Su Xiong only mentioned it without going into details.
Qin Nan didn't ask any more questions.
Now things are very clear, and there is no need to know too much.
"But in the end, it's all about the Sword Alliance. For the development of the Sword Alliance, conflicts rarely break out between him and me. But in recent years, his grandson has become more domineering because he is unscrupulous. How many talented disciples have become prisoners, and from then on Dao's heart is broken. Originally, I turned a blind eye, but today he actually tried to force the palace, and I couldn't bear it. But I didn't expect that he had already broken through, and I had to consider the overall situation." Su Xiong sighed.
Qin Nan pondered slightly.
He understood Su Xiong's dilemma.
It is precisely because of this that he took the initiative to accept the task before.
However, Su Xiong's words also made Qin Nan feel murderous towards Yan Shisan and others. If he was not strong enough today, the result would definitely be the same as those people, or even worse than those people.
Strength, still strength!
With a thought, Qin Nan's desire for strength rose to the extreme.
This is the way of the world. If you have no strength, you are worse than a dog.
Only if you are strong enough, the sword in your hand is the truth, sweeping everything.
"Forget it, don't think about these things. This is the Sword Soul Pill. After you swallow it, recover as soon as possible." Su Xiong said.
Qin Nan looked at the elixir in Su Xiong's hand, with a hint of shock in his eyes.
This elixir... is a seventh-grade elixir.
Although he didn't know much about elixirs, he had heard of the name Jianpo Dan.
In the Sword Soul Continent, the levels of elixirs are divided into nine levels. Among them, the ninth grade is an ordinary elixir, and the first grade is a magical elixir.
However, as far as Qin Nan knew, in the past few hundred years, there seemed to be no third-grade pills produced in the entire Dongxuan Prefecture.
It is precisely because of this that these seventh-grade elixirs are so valuable.
"Senior, this is too expensive..." Qin Nan did not pick it up.
It is no exaggeration to say that the seventh-grade elixir is probably of great use to Su Xiong himself, but if he takes it by himself, it will be overkill.
"Take it if it's given to you. But I want to tell you, the water in Qingzhou is very deep. Many core disciples of the sixth level of the Xiantian Realm have not been heard from since entering Qingzhou. Although I want to train you, I don't want you to die." Su Xiong said.
His face was extremely solemn, and his eyes looking at Qin Nan were slightly worried.
Qin Nan's face also changed.
Even the core disciples disappeared out of thin air?
This sentence doubled Qin Nan's pressure.
But Qin Nan knew that he had no way out now. Yan Mantang is ambitious. If he is criticized in this matter, he will definitely target Su Xiong. This is definitely not what Qin Nan wants to see.
Thinking of this, Qin Nan took the elixir from Su Xiong's hand.
"In this case, Qin Nan will not refuse." Qin Nan said, swallowing the elixir into his mouth.
Su Xiong nodded, without saying much, and quietly retreated.
An hour later, Qin Nan refined the Sword Soul Pill.
It must be said that the power contained in this elixir is extremely huge. After the medicinal effect was refined, the will to live forever regained its vitality, and it only took a moment to repair Qin Nan's own injuries.
Qin Nan opened his eyes and felt himself, and found that not only the sword soul but also the sword species were now stronger than before, as if they had been broken and then stood up.
"Going to Qingzhou is imminent, but if it is true as Su Xiong said, even the core disciples disappear out of thin air, then it must not be simple, and I must make preparations."
"Now that I have entered Xiantian, I can also practice the Seven Kills Sword Sutra."
Qin Nan was thinking in his mind, and with a certain determination in his eyes, he directly took out the Seven Kills Sword Scripture from the storage ring, and then opened the first page:
"Kidōichi Kill: Prison Break!"
