C16 Unfriendly approach

"Soul Elder, I temporarily do not dare to agree to your plan." Qin Qiong lowered his eyebrows and looked extremely humble.

From within the sleeves of his robe, an old brown hand that was so skinny that only skin and bones remained. He opened his palm and Qin Qiong saw the object in the center of his palm.

"This thing can help you break through into the Danyuan Stage. At that time, you will be the strongest warrior under Guo Ziyi and her. We will work together to kill Guo Ziyi and then kill Li Bing. As long as you complete the tasks that I have given you and help me do things, our entire organization will be your solid support. The Qin family's mountains and rivers will not fall even after tens of thousands of years! "

The old man's voice was deep and profound, so hoarse that it seemed to come from his throat.

Qin Qiong squinted and stared at the thing in the old brown claw, her arm trembled as she reached out and grabbed the thing in her hand.

In the early morning of the next day, Guo Nan practiced the three sets of Basic Sword Style s, which were Body Refining, Gold Fragment, and Snake Sculpting for a hundred times. His eyes were closed, and his breathing was rhythmic. With every breath he took, all the pores on his body opened up, receiving the Elemental Essence of the Five Elements to his heart's content.

Green, red, white, yellow, black, and black threads that were hard to see with the naked eye were wrapping around him and penetrating his body bit by bit.

The Elemental Essence of the Five Elements entered and spread to the five big veins in his body, then spread to the various acupuncture points, through them and into the flesh and bones of his entire body.

One breath of breathing, was a cycle.

After going through a cycle, the cells in the body would be tempered and become slightly more active. As time passed, his strength, speed, reaction speed, and other abilities were all pushed to a new level.

"Within the Origin Gathering Realm, the main body is strengthened. My earth elemental energy has reached the Ninth level of the Origin Gathering Stage, so when I fight with other Ninth level of the Origin Gathering Stage's practitioners, I hold a huge advantage. "After all, the other four elemental energies have caused my physical attributes to far surpass those of warriors of the same level."

"My advantage of rebirth is not very obvious in the Origin Gathering Stage. After all, I can't cultivate any powerful martial skills. Wait until Condensing Yuan Stage, where you can release your spirit energy. Only then can the powerful martial skills from your past life be of use. "

Guo Nan sighed lightly. After cultivating for a while, his eyes that were slightly closed opened up.

He looked at Xiao Qiang, who was napping beside him. He patted the little guy's head and laughed, "Xiao Qiang, don't you have enough sleep?"

Xiao Qiang shook his head, he looked at Guo Nan with a drowsy look, then continued to lie down and doze off.

"This guy, to be able to escape from the encirclement of so many experts in the Zhao Song, he must be very capable."

When Xiao Qiang ran back, he used the last bit of his strength to tell Guo Nan that while the people of Zhao Song weren't paying attention, it would shrink and crawl out of the cage and chase after him using the Qi. After that, the little guy collapsed and fell into a deep slumber.

"Using blood to nourish your body. Kid, what kind of demon beast are you?"

Xiao Qiang shook his head, he did not have the strength to talk to Guo Nan's Spiritual Sense.

Guo Nan did not pay any more attention to Xiao Qiang as he calmed his mind and continued to cultivate. Relying on his mixing array, he steadily absorbed the Elemental Essence of the Five Elements floating in the air. The effect of the Primordius Demon Formation was at least ten times stronger than normal, but Guo Nan did not dare to casually activate it.

Guo Ziyi returned from the morning assembly and found Guo Nan. He said with gratitude: "You won beautifully last night, at the morning assembly today, the people from the civil service looked as if they lost their parents, and did not dare to breathe too loudly. A hundred thousand garrison is still our Guo Family. Moreover, His Majesty has already issued an edict.

"I do not care about these things. As for the Qin family, they will not let it go just like that. If I display my strength, Li Yuan will definitely be even more afraid.

"Yeah, that's why I want you to go to the Fenyang City to hide. Our Guo Family's five hundred thousand strong army is stationed there, so even if you go to the Fenyang City, Li Yuan wouldn't dare to touch me." Guo Ziyi looked at Guo Nan eagerly. This was his true reason for coming to see Guo Nan.

"Grandfather, I'll just stay in Changyang City. There's no use in me going there. The Autumn Hunt is about to begin, and I don't want to miss out on that opportunity. "

"The Autumn Hunt? How confident are you? Yuwen Clan and Zhao Clan's kid are both very strong. "

"The Autumn Hunt is a competition of numbers of demon beasts, not Sforces state. "As far as I know, the rewards for this year's Autumn Hunt are unparalleled."

Guo Nan looked at Guo Ziyi, his eyes shining with a cunning light.

Guo Ziyi said: "Indeed, in order to strengthen the civil officials' faction, Li Yuan prepared a city's reward for the Yuwen kid. If nothing goes wrong, the position of the chief of the Autumn Hunt will definitely belong to the Yuwen Clan."

During Li Tangguo's five-year Great Autumn Hunt, what was considered to be the cultivation talent of the younger generation, were all generous rewards to those who took first place. But this year, it was Yuwen Tai's turn to stand out amongst Li Tangguo's young talents. He was confident that he could snatch the position of chief of the group, and the reward set by the emperor was a large city that was close to the Fenyang City, Nanhu Prefecture's Desolate City.

Yuwen Tai was already the appointed City Lord of Nanhu Prefecture Dichang. Logically speaking, the entire Nanhu Prefecture would fall into the hands of the Yuwen Family, as they held back the Guo Family's army.

"If we, the Guo Family, were to take down Dichang City and interact with the Fenyang City, the power of the Guo Family would be able to prevent the Emperor from sleeping." The corner of Guo Nan's mouth curved into a cold smile.

Guo Ziyi was surprised: "You're really confident?"

"We will know when the time comes."

"Hey, kid, you've caused grandfather to be even more unable to see through you." Guo Ziyi laughed bitterly, then frowned: "There is one more thing that you had better prepare. The Zhao Song sent a large group of people over, led by the royal family's Prince Quang. Prince Quang is strong and is the second strongest warrior in the Zhao Song. He brought a large number of young talents from the Zhao Song and came over, saying that he wanted to spar with Li Tangguo. "

Guo Nan's heart sank, narrowed his eyes and asked: "Grandfather, that Princess Zhao Qingling, are you coming?"

"You know the Zhao Song Princess?" Guo Ziyi was stunned, he stared at Guo Nan like he had seen a ghost, thinking that this brat had a bright future, he had even seduced the Zhao Song Princess.

"Something like that."

"He must be here. In Zhao Song, Princess Zhao Qingling is the second strongest warrior among the younger generation. It is said that she has the strength at the third phase of Condensing Yuan Stage."

"Grandfather, if we were to stop the people from the Zhao Song halfway, what would happen?" Guo Nan's brows revealed a ruthless look.

Guo Ziyi was startled, could it be that he did not hook up with the famous Princess Qing Ling, but had a feud with his?

Night, the dark clouds covered the sky, the stars didn't appear, and the moon didn't appear, quiet and dark.

In a royal palace about 400 miles away from the Changyang City, a large group of people from the Zhao Song were stationed. In order to express their friendliness, Li Yuan had specially arranged for the envoys of the Zhao Song to live in his palace. The palace was built in a beautiful environment in a small lake surrounded by water.

Dozens of men in black quietly approached the palace.

"Uncle An, we just need to set the fire and leave right after. Don't keep fighting."

"Whatever you want to do, I'll protect you."

They were Guo Nan and Yang An, together with the Prince Guo's Mansion's elite guards, both of them were waiting in the vicinity of the palace.

Each of them held a huge oil barrel in their arms. Inside the barrel were oil lamps, which ignited the moment they met fire.

"Attack!"

With Guo Nan's order, all the barrels were opened, and a large amount of fuel poured into the water surface.

"Retreat!"

Guo Nan struck the fire stone and it was still on the fuel, so the group quickly retreated. In the blink of an eye, they had completely disappeared.

After a while, the fuel began to burn up violently and the air around the palace was filled with smoke.

"Put out the fire! Someone's setting it on fire!"

"Wake up, put out the fire!"

Panic could be heard from the palace as all the people of Zhao Song woke up from their dreams. However, they saw that the fire was only burning on the water surface, and from the looks of it, it was impossible for the palace to burn any more.

Zhao Qingling frowned and looked, and said angrily: "What's going on?"

"Qing Ling, don't be angry, just hold on for a while while while you cover your nose."

A middle-aged man with an indifferent expression walked over. It was Prince Quang. He passed a wet handkerchief to Zhao Qingling and laughed: "I'm afraid that some of Li Tangguo's people will not be able to see us. Give us some warning."

"Princess, are you alright?"

A handsome young man in his early twenties ran over. He was wielding a long blade and wore a warrior uniform. He looked extremely capable and capable.

"I'm fine." Seeing that person, Zhao Qingling's eyes flashed with disgust.

"Chen Hong, let's go back and cultivate. This time, I want you to fight against Li Tangguo's young talents, the toughest fights are for you, don't embarrass us Zhao Song." The Prince Quang said with a smile.

"Understood."

Chen Hong glanced at Zhao Qingling with a complicated expression before turning around and disappearing.

"Qing Ling, actually, that Chen Hong brat's talent is not bad, and his family background is also good. In Zhao Song, other than him, your royal father and I can't think of anyone else who could be worthy of you. " Prince Quang looked at the fire and said indifferently.

Zhao Qingling's eyes flashed with coldness.

The fire gradually died down, and the farce came to an end.

The next day, Zhao Song's convoy set off for Changyang City. The caravan ran very fast. All the warriors were quite strong, so they didn't care about the bumpy ride.

On the spacious road, nothing unusual could be seen.

All of a sudden, a section of the road caved in, and the two carriages leading the way fell fiercely into the ten meter deep pit. The convoy behind them came to an emergency stop, but the third car was unable to escape and also charged into the deep pit. The miserable howls of the horses came from far away, and the sounds of angry curses rose and fell one after another.

Guo Nan, who was in the distance, sneered and said: "Let's go!"

The people of Prince Guo's Mansion rode their horses and quickly left, leaving no trace behind.

The people in the three carriages were all injured, so they squeezed to the back of the carriage to recuperate. The carriages slowed down a lot, and at the front, a Condensing Yuan Stage guard was carefully exploring the road.

But no matter how careful she was, she could not avoid Guo Nan's scheme.

When they arrived at a mountain pass, the Zhao Song's troops were attacked by rolling stones and rolling wood.

When staying at night, all of them had diarrhea.

As they set out again, their horses began to thicken.

After staggering for several tens of kilometers, the horse collapsed from exhaustion.

Zhao Qingling was simply going crazy from anger!

Prince Quang's expression was also very bad, he wished that he could find the culprit and kill them all.

"What should we do? We are only a few dozen li away from the Changyang City, and should be getting people to rush there to buy some horses for us. " Prince Quang asked for Zhao Qingling's opinion.

"No need, let's go over." If you go to Changyang City to buy horses, you might not even be able to get healthy horses. "

Just like this, the troops of the Zhao Song abandoned the horse carriage and walked towards the Changyang City. But the weather was not good, and the heavy rain had made them all wet.

"Uncle An, have you treated the horses left behind by Zhao Song?"

"Young master is a kind-hearted man. After feeding the medicinal herbs, they have all recovered."

Yang An secretly admired Guo Nan. To be able to think of so many evil schemes and not forget to instruct those pitiful horses to save him, this kind of young master really did not know what to say.

"They're here, they're here! The Zhao Song's people are here!" a city guard shouted excitedly.

"Let's go and welcome them."

Guo Nan was dressed in embroidered clothes, imitating Dugu Hong's style. Under the continuous autumn rain, he hugged Xiao Rou, his face full of smiles, and a Prince Guo's Mansion guard held up an umbrella for them at the side.
