Chapter 1298 - Appointed as the Vice Hall Leader

"If we needed someone to lead the younger generation, I believe it"s better to appoint a Martial Monarch Realm authority. Qin Nan might be a genius who has surpa.s.sed the rules of cultivation, but he"s still a Martial Progenitor, which is a huge difference to the Martial Monarch Realm, making him unworthy like an ant."

The Qilin Flame Martial Monarch ignored Qin Nan"s presence and spoke without mercy.

"Senior Sword G.o.ds, we agree with him."

The Vast Skythunder Martial Monarch and the old man of the Blood Tribe spoke simultaneously upon collecting their thoughts.

The tenth spot was extremely important to the three ancient tribes, hence they would not stand there and watch it being taken by a mere Qin Nan.

"Not necessarily, Qin Nan"s Martial Skill Talent and comprehension of cultivation are among the best in the Canglan Continent. He"s the best candidate to lead the younger generation."

The Nine Continents Sword G.o.d shook his head, whose tone had become firmer.

The Qilin Flame Martial Monarch, the Vast Skythunder Martial Monarch, and the old man of the Blood Tribe were startled. Clearly, they had sensed the Nine Continents Sword G.o.d"s determination from the slight change of tone.

If the Sword G.o.d had made up his mind, they would not be able to convince him to change his mind.

Martial Monarch Guiwu, Martial Monarch Dongku, and the others were overjoyed when they noticed the same thing.

Although the outcome had given them a surprise and they did not share a close relations.h.i.+p with Qin Nan, it was still better than letting the three ancient tribes take the role.

"I have a plan. Since we can"t change Senior Sword G.o.d"s mind, we should target Qin Nan instead, so he will feel the pressure and compromise. We"ll then compete for the spot among ourselves."

At the last minute, the Vast Skythunder Martial Monarch quickly transmitted his voice as a thought crossed his mind.

"A wise plan."

The eyes of the Qilin Flame Martial Monarch and the old man of the Blood Tribe flickered. Many thoughts started surfacing in their minds within a short period of time.

"Senior Sword G.o.ds, regarding the role..."

Qin Nan who had been silent suddenly spoke.

He too had not expected the two Sword G.o.ds would appoint him as the Vice Hall Leader.

Even though the others might think there were lots of benefits in taking the role, Qin Nan had no interest in it at all, as he did not want to be tied down by the role.

He had no intention of wasting his time on fulfilling the role of a Vice Hall Leader at a time like this.

As such, he had voiced out to reject the offer from the two Sword G.o.ds.

However, before Qin Nan could finish, a few voices could be heard.

"As expected of Nine Continents Sword G.o.d, to have a view of the bigger picture for the future. It does seem like Qin Nan is the best candidate to be appointed as the tenth Vice Hall Leader. The question is; is Qin Nan willing to take on the role?"

The Qilin Flame Martial Monarch s.h.i.+fted his gaze toward Qin Nan.

Meanwhile, Martial Monarch Guiwu, Martial Monarch Dongku, and the others thought the first half of the speech was fairly reasonable, but they were stunned when they heard the last sentence.

Wasn"t the Qilin Flame Martial Monarch"s question a little bit over the top?

Why would Qin Nan not accept such a great offer?

"Does that mean..."

After all, Martial Monarch Guiwu, Martial Monarch Dongku, and the others were all Martial Monarchs Realm authorities. They quickly speculated on something, widening their eyes.

As they thought, a fiery voice like the ancient Fire G.o.d exploded in Qin Nan"s mind.

"Qin Nan, you will reject the offer to become a Vice Hall Leader. If you do that, our Flame Tribe will give you plenty of benefits. Of course, if you were to accept it, you will be regarded as an enemy of the Flame Tribe."

Each word felt like a sharp, ancient saber, plucking the strings of one"s heart. Any ordinary peak Martial Progenitor would surely be influenced.

"Qin Nan, if you reject the role, our Lightning Tribe will offer you the Lightning Primary Qi to aid your cultivation. It"s a great deal for you, but if you dare to accept the position, you shouldn"t blame our Lightning Tribe for showing no mercy."

"Hehe, our Blood Tribe has always distinguished our friends and foes clearly. Cultivator Qin Nan, do choose wisely, as your decision will deem you a friend of our Blood Tribe—or an enemy."

Two other voices followed the first one.

The former felt like the chime of a giant bell, which would cause one"s heart to tremble, provoking fear in it. The latter was extremely sinister, making one"s hair stand and sending a chill down their spine.

Obviously, the voices belonged to the Vast Skythunder Martial Monarch and the old man from the Blood Tribe.

Qin Nan who was in the midst of his speech was not influenced at all when he heard the three voices. However, he raised his brows slightly while squinting his eyes, which emitted a vague, cold flicker.

Since the three ancient tribes had arrived at the Anti-Heaven Alliance, Qin Nan was clearly aware of their pride and their disdain toward the Martial Monarchs and the rest of the cultivators, including himself.

However, he had not commented on it.

Now, the three ancient tribes dared to threaten him simultaneously?

Did the people of the three ancient tribes think they could bully him as they wished?

"Oh, I did forget about that, Qin Nan, how do you feel about being appointed as the tenth Vice Hall Leader?"

The Nine Continents Sword G.o.d seemed unaware of the situation. He glanced at Qin Nan and asked gently.

The Qilin Flame Martial Monarch, the Vast Skythunder Martial Monarch, and the old man of the Blood Tribe smilingly glanced at Qin Nan as if they had done nothing, yet it felt like they had everything under control.

The reason being that they had a.s.sumed Qin Nan would not try to oppose them and ignore their warnings no matter how daring he was.

"Qin Nan is surely going to reject it."

Martial Monarch Guiwu, Martial Monarch Dongku, and the others uttered sighs in their hearts.

They easily guessed what had happened in the midst of Qin Nan"s speech.

Obviously, it was unwise to offend the three ancient tribes for the role of Vice Hall Leader.

If they were in Qin Nan"s shoes, they would surely reject the offer too.

"I"m grateful that Senior Sword G.o.ds have always had high hopes in me...

"Therefore, I will gladly take the role."

Qin Nan paused for a moment halfway, before continuing with a firm tone.

"Gladly take the role?"

Martial Monarch Guiwu, Martial Monarch Dongku, and the others were stunned.

"Gladly...gladly take the role?"

The smiles from Qilin Flame Martial Monarch, the Vast Skythunder Martial Monarch, and the old man of the Blood Tribe froze instantly.

Had a mere Qin Nan just rejected their offer and opposed the three ancient tribes?
