Chapter 1222 - Stealing the Food from the Tiger's Mouth
"She..."
"She dares to attack the temple?"
"What is she planning to do?"
Cen Wu, Liu Xue, and the others were thunderstruck.
They were well aware that the three Martial Monarchs were inside the ancient temple.
And now this mysterious gorgeous lady was attacking the temple. Was she trying to challenge the three Martial Monarchs?
Meanwhile, inside the ancient temple...
The battles between the three Martial Monarchs intensified.
"Here's my chance!"
The Illusionist Martial Monarch felt a surge of joy as he gathered his monarch force to execute a strong move in order to secure the giant crystal by utilizing the slight glimpse of an opportunity.
However, at that instant, his expression froze as he suddenly became aware of something.
The expressions of the other two Martial Monarchs stiffened too.
Soon after...
The giant lotus that Princess Miao Miao had fired collided with the ancient temple.
BANG.
A loud explosion could be heard.
Huge waves of dust swept into the surroundings.
The ancient temple which was already on the verge of collapsing finally reached its limit as a huge gap was torn open in one of its walls.
"Who's there?"
"How bold!"
The Martial Monarchs of the South-Heaven Sacred Ground and the Flame Tribe wore stern looks.
As for the Illusionist Martial Monarch, his eye spat out flames of fury. He did not expect someone would dare to interfere with his plan at such a crucial time.
"Mm?"
The three Martial Monarchs were stunned after taking a glance.
The person was only a peak Martial Progenitor?
Where did a peak Martial Progenitor get her courage from to attack this ancient temple?
As they were astounded, Qin Nan who had been long awaiting the opportunity made his move and swung the Treasure-Fishing Rod.
"Go!"
The Treasure-Fishing Rod fired an invisible line that penetrated the mysterious crystal and wrapped around fifteen of the Heavenly Arcana Sacred Fruits.
"Reel in!"
Qin Nan pulled the rod backward, pulling fifteen Heavenly Arcana Sacred Fruits out from the crystal and into his Sumeru Ring.
The whole process took place within the blink of an eye.
"Crap!"
The three Martial Monarchs quickly collected their thoughts. The attack from the woman was only a distraction.
However, they were stunned when they turned around and saw Qin Nan floating in the air.
In addition to them, Cen Wu, Liu Xue, and the rest of the cultivators were dumbfounded too following a glance.
"Qin...Qin Nan?"
The Illusionist Martial Monarch, Cen Wu, Liu Xue, the Martial Monarch, and the disciples from the South-Heaven Sacred Ground were incredibly shocked.
"Qin Nan? The one that surpassed the rules of cultivation?"
The Martial Monarch from the Flame Tribe and the rest of the crowd did not expect the person in front to be the famous Qin Nan.
"HAHA, thanks!"
Qin Nan was utterly fearless. He burst into laughter before unleashing all his might to execute the Unstoppable Step. His figure turned into a ray of light that flew into the distance.
"Hold it right there!"
The Illusionist Martial Monarch was infuriated. He instantly lunged forward to chase after him!
The Martial Monarch of the South-Heaven Sacred Ground also released a strong murderous intent as he followed after them too.
Qin Nan was currently listed as a three-starred enemy in the South-Heaven Sacred Ground, which was a level higher than the Illusionist Martial Monarch. He had no reason not to chase after him now that he had shown himself and taken fifteen Heavenly Arcana Sacred Fruits!
The Martial Monarch from the Flame Tribe was slightly startled, but he decided not to chase after them. Instead, he glanced toward the giant crystal.
Even though he was displeased that Qin Nan had taken fifteen of the Heavenly Arcana Sacred Fruits, he was happy enough with the remaining five of them!
Besides, the two Martial Monarchs had already chased after him. What difference would it make?
"Illusionist Martial Monarch, what are you doing? Stop this man at once! Otherwise, I'll tell the Anti-Heaven Alliance what happened here and the Alliance Leader will surely punish you!"
Qin Nan uttered a roar in the sky!
"You..."
The Illusionist Martial Monarch halted in his tracks.
He had almost forgotten that if he were to chase after Qin Nan in front of a crowd, it was highly possible that the news would be spread to the Anti-Heaven Alliance. Despite his identity of a Martial Monarch Realm authority, the Magical Hair Sword God would still sentence him to severe punishment.
The reason being that there existed an important rule in the Anti-Heaven Alliance; despite how they fought against each other within the alliance, they were not allowed to harm each other even if they were unwilling to lend a hand.
That being said, it would not make any difference if no one had seen anything. The problem was that many people had seen him chasing after Qin Nan, not to mention that a Martial Monarch of the South-Heaven Sacred Ground was also doing the same thing.
There was no way he would let them think that he was working together with the people of the South-Heaven Sacred Ground to hunt Qin Nan down, right?
That would be an even greater offense!
"Trying to bait me into helping you? No way, burn in hell!"
The Illusionist Martial Monarch withheld his anger and cursed in his heart.
"Stop it right there!"
The Illusionist Martial Monarch turned around and became enraged when he saw the Martial Monarch of the Flame Tribe trying to claim the remaining Heavenly Arcana Sacred Fruits. He immediately attacked with several terrifying monarch arts!
Although he felt an incredible heartache giving up on the fifteen Heavenly Arcana Sacred Fruits, he had no choice but to compete for the rest!
Otherwise, he would be left with nothing!
"This..."
Cen Wu, Liu Xue, and the rest of the cultivators were flabbergasted!
Many of them were geniuses ranked on the God Ranking, but they had never seen someone daring enough to rob three Martial Monarchs of the treasure they were competing for!
"Wait, where's that woman?"
A disciple of the ancient tribes reacted.
The others were taken by surprise too. They turned around but could not locate Princess Miao Miao's figure.
However, a leaf exploded beside Cen Wu and Liu Xue, followed by a crisp voice.
"Senior Brother, Senior Sister, thanks for your help."
Following this, the cultivators from the other factions and the disciples of the ancient tribes instantly glanced at Cen Wu and Liu Xue.
"F**k!"
Cen Wu and Liu Xue were startled.
Although the people from the other factions would not attack them just because of the accusation, wasn't that gorgeous lady a bit too vicious, trying to set them up after taking away the Heavenly Arcana Sacred Fruits?
Meanwhile, in the sky...
Qin Nan swept across the sky like a meteorite at the fastest speed he had ever achieved.
His face was wearing a faint smile.
The plan had been executed perfectly.
Princess Miao Miao attacking the ancient temple to attract the attention of the Martial Monarchs was the first step.
The second step was the most crucial, as it involved Qin Nan predicting how the three Martial Monarchs would react.
As a result, Qin Nan did not take all of the Heavenly Arcana Sacred Fruit. He had purposely left five in the crystal.
It would prompt the Martial Monarch of the Flame Tribe to stay. He would then drive the Illusionist Martial Monarch back with the accusation. In the end, the Martial Monarch of the Flame Tribe and the Illusionist Martial Monarch would clash with each other, leaving the Martial Monarch of the South-Heaven Sacred Ground to be the only one left chasing him.
On a side note, the Martial Monarch of the South-Heaven Sacred Ground only possessed a cultivation of the second-layer Martial Monarch Realm, which was weaker than the Illusionist Martial Monarch. Therefore, Qin Nan had a higher chance of surviving.
That being said, the risk was incredibly large too.
Qin Nan had never fought seriously against a Martial Monarch, thus it was impossible for him to tell how it would turn out.
"Heaven-Shattering Finger, die!"
The Martial Monarch of the South-Heaven Sacred Ground let out a roar as he pointed his finger forward. The sky suddenly became dark all of a sudden, as a giant pitch-black finger traveled across the distance and approached Qin Nan's figure.
