Immortal Martial God

Chapter 264 Advancement And Retreat 2 Difficulties

The alertness of these people was simply too high. Xiang Nan was five miles away from them on the mountain peak, but his emotions were a little stronger, so they sensed him.

"Stop him! Don't let him escape!" A white-clothed man shouted.

Xiang Nan immediately used the Flash Steps to quickly leave the scene, but his body shook, and then with a buzz, he crashed into a Yuan Qi light shield.

The white-clothed men formed a circle and surrounded Xiang Nan. Just as Xiang Nan was about to flee, they formed a spherical Yuan Qi barrier and trapped Xiang Nan inside.

"Shit." Xiang Nan's heart sank. After the collision just now, he had already sensed the strength of the Yuan Qi barrier.

Judging from this, the dozen or so white-clothed men were probably all experts of the Heavenly Yuan Realm. The Yuan Qi light shield formed by the dozen or so Heavenly Yuan Realm experts was used to deal with Xiang Nan, a third level Origin Returning Martial Cultivator. Not to mention making a big fuss, it could be seen how much they valued Xiang Nan.

"Truly trapped." A white-clothed man gently passed through the light barrier and entered. He stepped into the air and faced Xiang Nan.

Xiang Nan's eyes narrowed slightly as he coldly said, "Are you people from the Profound Sky Sect and the Flying Cloud Sect?"

The white-clothed man said, "Don't waste your effort. I won't reveal any information."

Xiang Nan frowned, "Under your encirclement, I am already a dying person. Even so, do you still refuse to let me know who exactly killed me?"

The white-clothed man's face was obscure in the shadows, but his tone was incomparably firm. "Don't say that you're a dying person. Even if you're already a corpse, don't dream of being able to hear anything from us."

"I … want to fight him once." Xiang Nan and the white-clothed man were talking when one of the five black-clothed men suddenly stood up.

This person also had Yuan Qi wings behind him, but it was different from Xiang Nan's.

Xiang Nan's wings were Yuan Qi "feathered wings", which looked more like a pair of crane wings and were snow white.

The black-clothed man had a total of three pairs of six Yuan Qi wings. They were translucent in color, more like the wings of a certain dragonfly.

The white-clothed man said to the black-clothed man, "Now is not the time for a battle of will. Killing a twelve-sect contestant will increase your chances of winning the twelve-sect championship!"

"What? Are you afraid that I won't be able to defeat Xiang Nan?" The black-clothed man was obviously not as "disciplined" as the white-clothed man, or rather, he had more of a martial artist's temperament.

The white-clothed man gritted his teeth and shouted, "Our goal is to severely defeat the Haoran Sect, not let you show yourself here!"

"Haha." The man in black smiled. "Don't forget, the five of us are the core members of this operation. You are only serving the five of us."

The white-clothed man's body was trembling slightly. It could be seen that he was angry, but as a Heaven Origin Realm martial artist, he did not dare to refute the face of the black-clothed man in the Origin Realm.

Just as they were arguing internally, Xiang Nan immediately used the Void Stone. With a whoosh, his body turned into a streak of black lightning and instantly passed through the unbreakable Yuan Qi barrier. His entire body disappeared.

This move shocked all the white-clothed and black-clothed people present.

The white-clothed man was furious and pointed at the black-clothed man, "If it weren't for you obstructing me, I would have already killed Xiang Nan!"

The black-clothed man didn't care and said, "What's the hurry? I can't kill him now. I can still kill him in the arena."

After saying that, he held his chin thoughtfully and said, "Xiang Nan's strange movement technique just now was unexpected. He was actually able to pass through the visible Yuan Qi light shield. Could this be an escape technique?"

"But" After thinking for a while, the black-clothed man could not find any way to cast an escape spell. It was in this form.

This time, Xiang Nan's lightning escape was more than a hundred miles away. He had already surpassed the position of the Haoran Sect. Afterwards, he endured the fierce headache and gradually lost consciousness and quickly flew back to the Haoran Sect.

He went straight to the Haoran Palace to find his master, Xu Caiyue, and then asked Xu Caiyue to bring him to see Elder Shi Beihong.

"This is what happened." Xiang Nan told Elder Shi Beihong about his discovery in one breath.

"Elder, quickly send someone to chase after them." Xiang Nan said anxiously.

Shi Beihong shook his head, "It should be too late. They are well-planned and cautious. They must have already disguised themselves and hid in Haotian City."

"But according to what you said, they should have been the ones who kidnapped Xue Qi back then."

Xiang Nan nodded and said, "I suspect that this is a plan led by the Profound Sky Sect and assisted by the Flying Cloud Sect."

"Indeed." Elder Shi Beihong nodded solemnly, "The The Profound Sky Sect is originally one of the eight great sects. Their wolf ambitions have never been broken."

"In the past two years, the Profound Sky Sect has indeed expressed its desire to become the sect's boss. However, things have not gone smoothly."

"Looks like they are prepared to take the initiative to deal with the other six first-class sects this time. Our Haoran Sect has always been the weakest of the eight sects, so they should be the first target to attack."

Xiang Nan frowned and said, "I don't understand. Since they want to become a super sect and even try to annex us, why are they trying to participate in a 12-sect joint exam to discourage us?"

This doesn't make any sense. Could it be that you can become the boss after defeating the disciples of the Haoran Sect in the Twelve Sect Joint Examination?

Elder Shi Beihong shook his head, "This is only the first step of their grand plan. The first step is to destroy the high status of our Haoran Sect in the hearts of the Blue Tide Continent's martial artists."

"As long as this step succeeds, the Heavenly Profound Sect's subsequent blow to us will follow one after another, and it will be twice the result with half the effort."

Xiang Nan suddenly realized that this was the case.

Once the Nature's Vast Sect was defeated, then the confidence in the hearts of the Blue Tide Continent's martial artists would collapse.

In other words, as long as the Nature Sect defeated the Heavenly Profound Sect, no matter if the Heavenly Profound Sect were to spread rumors or attack the Nature Sect from the side, it would no longer cause any substantial harm to the Nature Sect.

"Then let's hurry up and inform the participating disciples to be on guard?" Xiang Nan said, but as soon as he finished speaking, he realized that his idea was untenable.

Sure enough, Elder Shi Beihong shook his head and rejected, "The current situation is that we do not know who those five black-clothed men are."

"At this stage, we cannot trust anyone. They may be disguised as Haoran Sect disciples, or they may be disguised as Outer Sect disciples."

Xiang Nan gritted his teeth. Yes, anyone could be one of the five black-clothed men.

In fact, with the Profound Sky Sect 's powerful martial dao status, even if they assumed that the person they bribed was Hong Bin, it wasn't impossible for them to do so.

What if … it was one of Feng Zhaoqi, Luo Yuan, and the others?

Something's wrong! It's not possible! Xiang Nan shook his head forcefully. Impossible!
