Qin Nan took a glance at the crowd. He pondered for a moment and joined the queue.
There was plenty of time. He should follow the rules and avoid standing out.
Half an hour later, it was finally Qin Nan’s turn. He paid some immortal stones and submitted his identity badge. He received a scroll made of beast skin. It was full of words and a rough drawing of the Four-Way Dragon Pattern.
Qin Nan did not look at the scroll for too long. He left the queue and headed toward the Heavenly Art Palace.
A surprised voice suddenly said, “Lin Xiaozhi?”
Qin Nan turned around and saw a woman in a blue dress with pale skin, an alluring figure, and a mystical temperament.
Beside the woman was a seemingly extraordinary tall man with sharp brows dressed in a long robe with purple lines.
Qin Nan shuddered. A memory fragment flashed in his mind.
A strong hatred rose in his heart.
“Zhang Yu’er? Huangpu Shaoqi?” Qin Nan squinted.
He did not expect to stumble into them on the crowded island.
It seemed like fate had brought them here.
“Lin Xiaozhi, I must say that I’m impressed! You were able to kill two Second Class top assassins from the Dark Quicksand with your cultivation,” Huangpu Shaoqi said mockingly.
“Lin Xiaozhi, we have underestimated you before, but a word of advice for you, you should hand over the ring.”
Zhang Yu’er said coldly, “If you do so, I can convince Senior Brother Huangpu to spare your life.”
“Otherwise, you will be facing top assassins of the First Class instead.”
Normally, people would transmit their voices when they were threatening someone with a lot of people around.
However, Zhang Yu’er had spoken it verbally instead, grabbing the attention of the nearby cultivators.
“Is that…Huangpu Shaoqi?”
“I heard not only is he a core disciple of the Curved Swords, his father is the Vice Patriarch of the Curved Swords too who had achieved the Heaven Highness Realm thirty years ago.”
“No wonder the woman dares to threaten someone verbally in front of so many people.”
“Those Heaven Daoism factions aren’t friendly as they say. They won’t care if you are from the same faction once you offended them. Death is the only escape,” many cultivators shook their heads and said.
Huangpu Shaoqi completely ignored the voices around him. He held his hands behind him and stared down at Qin Nan disdainfully.
“I don’t mind sparing your life if Yu’er says so, but not only do you have to hand over the ring, you must kneel and give me three kowtows and leave the Fifth Small Immortal Realm forever.”
“Otherwise…”
“You shall suffer the consequences,” Huangpu Shaoqi said.
Normally, he would not humiliate someone in public like that, but Lin Xiaozhi had the guts to say something menacing to him in public when he found out about the affairs between him and Zhang Yu’er.
He would not miss out on the chance to get his revenge when he saw Lin Xiaozhi.
He wanted Lin Xiaozhi to know how cruel the world was!
“You want me to give you kowtows?” Qin Nan was amused.
Even though the ancient era was a lot more advanced than the future, there were still people who liked to bully others by abusing their background here too.
Perhaps it was more the reason why a Ruler of Dao in the early stage like Huangpu Shaoqi was more immature than the Rulers of Dao in the future.
“You should leave, I can’t be bothered talking to you,” Qin Nan waved his hand and turned around.
He would surely teach these two a lesson if he had the chance!
“Did he just…ask Huangpu Shaoqi to leave?” the crowd was startled.
They could sense Qin Nan’s cultivation was only in the peak Master Realm. The two would only dare to threaten Qin Nan in public because he did not have a formidable background.
Wouldn’t he be asking for his death by saying those words?
“Did you just ask me to leave?” Huangpu Shaoqi’s eyes widened.
Zhang Yu’er’s face was filled with disbelief too. Was he still the man she remembered? Since when was Lin Xiaozhi so brave?
“Very well, Lin Xiaozhi, I shall take care of you here since you dare to speak to me like that!” Huangpu Shaoqi unleashed a shocking aura.
Qin Nan halted in his track. His eyes darkened as a demonic intent burst out of his body.
A thought suddenly crossed Huangpu Shaoqi’s mind. He withdrew his hand and said coldly, “Lin Xiaozhi, are you trying to provoke me so I would break the rules here? Aren’t you naive?”
“However, considering what you said, you are going to suffer once you left the island!”
Zhang Yu’er said coldly, “Lin Xiaozhi, I’m right about you. You are still so naive and stupid.”
Qin Nan chuckled. He did not say a word further.
It was a waste of time for him to talk to these two.
“You…”
Huangpu Shaoqi’s eyes burned with rage.
How dare this Lin Xiaozhi ignore him?
“Brother Huangpu, what’s going on here? Who’s making you so angry?” a curious voice said, followed by a middle-aged man in a white robe with a nine-clawed golden dragon embroidered on his chest.
Behind the man were several people in white robes too, but the golden dragons on their chests only had eight claws.
“Deacon Ye?” Huangpu Shaoqi was overjoyed.
Why did he forget about him?
“That young man is in trouble!” many cultivators murmured.
The Dragon Island had five hall leaders in the peak Ruler Realm who were Dragon Island Heaven Highness’ right-hand men.
Following the hall leaders were sixteen deacons in the Ruler Realm. They were responsible for maintaining the order of the streets and the palaces.
