Chapter 1319 - World's Imperious Ruler
The three Martial Monarchs were planning to explore as deep as they could in the Dragon Soul Ancient Palace. As such, they had no time or effort to waste on hunting Duan Qing and his friend.
Therefore, when they learned that everyone was required to form an alliance with a blood pact to enter the Dragon Soul Ancient Palace, they immediately came up with a plan.
Since they were not allowed to kill Duan Qing and his friend, they would take their opportunity away instead by preventing them from entering the Dragon Soul Ancient Palace.
"If seniors say so, I'll not form an alliance with them."
"Seniors are being too cautious. Even if you didn't say so, I wouldn't join them either."
"Seniors..."
The Martial Monarchs on the dojo immediately responded.
The three Martial Monarchs were currently at the ninth-layer Martial Monarch Realm, which was only a step away from achieving the peak Martial Monarch Realm. Their strength was equivalent to the Supreme Elders of many factions.
As such, it was unwise to offend them.
That being said, there were Martial Monarchs with greater status than Xuesha, Taoyan, and Leiyuan, but it was obvious that they would not want to offend three strong enemies for a mere Duan Qing and God of Thieves.
"I'm sorry, but I guess we won't be forming an alliance."
The three third-layer Martial Monarchs who had been slightly convinced a moment ago instantly wore cold expressions.
Even if they ended up with no alliance to enter the Dragon Soul Ancient Palace, they were unwilling to have anything to do with the two.
"Those three old assholes..."
Sima Kong immediately scowled. He did not expect the three old men to pull such a shameless act.
"Everyone, please listen to me."
Qin Nan remained calm as if he was not even slightly bothered. He walked forward and faced the crowd.
"Oh?"
Xuesha, Taoyan, and Leiyuan raised their brows, while many of the Martial Monarchs also shifted their gazes toward Qin Nan in an intrigued manner.
They were eager to see how this Duan Qing was going to respond under the circumstances.
"If anyone is willing to form an alliance with me to enter the Dragon Soul Ancient Palace, I'll help them avoid all kinds of death traps and forbidding auras and go to the deepest part in the Dragon Soul Ancient Palace. You have my word."
Qin Nan let out a breath and said.
However, the whole dojo instantly fell deathly silent after hearing his words. Every Martial Monarch was stunned.
"HAHAHA, avoid all the death traps and forbidding auras? Go to the deepest part in the Dragon Soul Ancient Palace? Oh, Duan Qing, do you think everyone here is an idiot?"
Xuesha, Taoyan, and Leiyuan were the first to react, who burst out laughing with disdainful looks as if they had just been told the greatest joke in the world.
They had initially been curious how this Duan Qing was going to face them, yet they never thought he would say such a ridiculous thing.
"Hehe, avoid all the traps?"
"What did he just say? The deepest part of the Dragon Soul Ancient Palace?"
"Is this Duan Qing mental impaired? Does he even know the significance of what he just said?"
"Hah..."
The Martial Monarchs collected their thoughts. Most of them displayed their disdain and mockery on their faces, while some uttered hollow laughs and despised Duan Qing in their hearts.
Even Sheng Tianjing, Zhuang Cidao, Old Man Kongwu, the Frost Queen, and the others grinned.
They were amused by Duan Qing's ignorance.
Avoiding all the death traps and the forbidding auras, how significant was that?
In the entire Abstruse God Space, even the peak Martial Monarchs, the geniuses, or those who had mastered law-defying eye-techniques were unable to do that.
In the Abstruse God Space, the hidden death traps and forbidding auras were too unpredictable.
Besides that, going to the deepest part in the Dragon Soul Ancient Palace?
Everyone knew how difficult it was to go to the deepest part of a forbidden ground in the Abstruse God Space. Besides that, the Dragon Soul Ancient Palace was ranked twelfth among the forbidden grounds!
For example, the three Supreme Elders had only planned to explore as deep as they could!
"These guys are all acting like snobs."
Sima Kong clenched his teeth when he became aware of the crowd's reaction.
"This is becoming difficult."
Qin Nan's emotion was not affected by much, but he frowned slightly when he saw the situation before him.
There was no way he would show the map that the copper mirror had given him to the others, yet how could he possibly justify himself enough to convince someone to form an alliance with him?
It would be such a waste if he could not even enter the Dragon Soul Ancient Palace despite having the map.
"Duan Qing and the God of Thieves? Come over here, I'll form an alliance with you."
A calm voice spoke on the dojo.
The Martial Monarchs were slightly startled, who turned their heads toward the voice.
The person speaking turned out to be the World's Imperious Ruler.
"World's Imperious Ruler, what's the mean of this?"
Xuesha, Taoyan, and Leiyuan scowled.
"It's nothing in particular, it's just that I disagree with what you're doing."
The World's Imperious Ruler said calmly.
In any case, he'd always hated the people from the other seven ancient tribes.
In addition to that, the situation that Duan Qing and the God of Thieves were currently in reminded him of the experiences he had had in the past, thus he decided to lend them a hand.
The others might be afraid to offend Xuesha, Taoyan, and Leiyuan, but as the Young Master of the Battle Tribe, he was never afraid of them.
"Very well, World's Imperious Ruler, we will remember what you've done today!"
Xuesha, Taoyan, and Leiyuan wore dark expressions, as their eyes emitted a cold flicker!
"By the way, since you're willing to go against us to recruit Duan Qing, does that mean you're hoping that Duan Qing can help you avoid the death traps and bring you to the deepest part of the Dragon Soul Ancient Palace?"
The three spat mockingly when they saw that they could no longer change the outcome.
Many among the crowd burst out laughing when they heard the words.
"It's a waste of time talking to you three, Duan Qing, God of Thieves, I forgot to ask, are you two willing to form an alliance with me?"
The World's Imperious Ruler ignored the three Supreme Elders. His gaze moved through the crowd and landed on Qin Nan and Sima Kong.
"Hehe, of course, we're more than willing to do so."
Sima Kong was overjoyed, who quickly nodded like a chick pecking grain on the ground.
The Emperor of Thieves was right, everything would be all right eventually.
The grim situation had been resolved just like that and they ended up forming an alliance with someone like the World's Imperious Ruler.
"Cultivator, thanks for your help. I'll fulfill my promise once we enter the Dragon Soul Ancient Palace."
Qin Nan's frown relaxed as he brought his fists together and said solemnly.
If it weren't for the World's Imperious Ruler's help, they would not have been able to find themselves an alliance, which meant they would not even have had the chance to enter the Dragon Soul Ancient Palace.
