Chapter 1170 - The Order from the G.o.d Beast


"A three-starred enemy?"


"What"s that?"


The eyes of most people among the crowd looked confused.


Judging from the words of Martial Monarch Nanjian, it felt like a three-starred enemy was something that the South-Heaven Sacred Ground was desperately trying to eliminate. Otherwise, they would not send Martial Monarch Nanjian here to do it.


However, Qin Nan had spent his time in the Middle Continent. How could he have somehow offended the top artifact of the South-Heaven Sacred Ground, the South-Heaven Gate, for no reason?


"Mm?"


Qin Nan frowned slightly.


Apart from exposing the secret of surpa.s.sing the rules of cultivation, he did not do anything that was related to the South-Heaven Gate. Besides, the South-Heaven Gate had no idea that he was planning to shatter it, why would the South-Heaven Gate have its eyes on him?


Gong Yang who was standing among the crowd immediately transmitted his voice after being aware of Qin Nan"s confusion.


"Qin Nan, the trouble is here!


"You might have no idea, but the reason the South-Heaven Gate could stay on the scene for so long is not only its outstanding strength, or because of the experts of the South-Heaven Sacred Ground protecting it. The main reason is its two incredible capabilities!


"The first one is that the South-Heaven Gate can predict approaching danger. When something threatening its presence appears, it can somehow sense it. The gate will also emit different glows based on the danger"s level, which comprise of blue, purple, red, and gold. Blue is the lowest, while gold is the highest.


"As for the second one, I still have no clue about it. In simple words, the South-Heaven Gate can sense the existence of cultivators that are hostile toward it once in a while. It would then categorize them based on their danger levels, grouping them as one-starred, two-starred, three-starred, four-starred, and five-starred.


"Until now, there has never been a five-starred enemy. There were only a couple of four-starred, and not many three-starred either. However, once the South-Heaven Gate considers you to be three-starred or above, it will try to eliminate you at all costs."


Gong Yang finished explaining in a rapid manner.


Qin Nan"s heart shuddered upon hearing this.


He never thought the South-Heaven Gate would possess such outstanding capabilities, able to predict danger and discover the existence of its enemies beforehand.


With this, Qin Nan finally had an answer to the questions that had been bothering him.


Previously, in the third round of the Monarch Horoscope Contest, it was most likely that the South-Heaven Envoy had been sent there by the South-Heaven Gate to kill a three-starred enemy. However, during that time, the South-Heaven Gate had no idea who the three-starred enemy was.


Otherwise, there was no need for it to try so hard to infiltrate the third round of the Monarch Horoscope Contest.


"The South-Heaven Gate has determined that I"m the three-starred enemy most likely because I"ve exposed my secret of surpa.s.sing the rules of cultivation. Even though I have yet to achieve the Martial Monarch Realm, I have still surpa.s.sed the rules of cultivation, so it was reasonable for it to consider myself a three-starred enemy. No wonder Senior Martial Serendipity Pavilion told me to be patient, and to try not to reveal the truth..."


Qin Nan"s eyes flickered.


Although by exposing his secret, many people would target him; however, after learning the method that he had used to surpa.s.s the rules of cultivation, most people would lose interest in him.


The real danger was actually being targeted by the South-Heaven Gate, as it would consider him to be a three-starred enemy.


That being said, Qin Nan did not feel any hint of regret.


So what if he were exposed for the sake of protecting his friends and the dignity of the Dragon Emperor Clan?


Besides, his final goal was to shatter the South-Heaven Gate. With the capabilities it possessed, it was only a matter of time until the South-Heaven Gate knew about his existence, and it would also target him when the time came.


The only difference now was it had taken place in advance.


Meanwhile, the Dragon Emperor Clan and the rest of the Martial Monarchs were wearing unpleasant looks.


They never thought Qin Nan would be categorized as a three-starred enemy by the South-Heaven Gate.


From what they knew, even in the entire Canglan Continent, there were only less than thirty people in that category.


Most importantly, the Martial Monarchs clearly knew what would come next after Qin Nan had been tagged as a three-starred enemy.


It meant that the South-Heaven Sacred Ground would try their best to eliminate him.


Furthermore, since the South-Heaven Sacred Ground was formed, it had told all the factions that anyone who tried to protect a three-starred enemy would be considered as hostile towards the South-Heaven Sacred Ground.


In the past, a few factions had not been convinced of the rules as they were unwilling to watch their disciples being killed. As a result, it infuriated the South-Heaven Sacred Ground, which caused the faction to receive a heavy attack from them, resulting in a great loss.


Five years ago, the son of a Martial Monarch was tagged as a three-starred enemy. The Martial Monarch decided not to hand over his son, and also rejected the offer to join the South-Heaven Gate. In the end, the South-Heaven Gate sent several Martial Monarchs to deal with him, which cost him his life.


As such, it was obvious that the South-Heaven Gate was very determined to eliminate every enemy who was considered three-starred or above.


"Still not backing off?" Martial Monarch Nanjian snapped coldly.


Normally, even when dealing with three-starred enemies, there was no need for the South-Heaven Sacred Ground to send the Supreme Elder to do it. However, he had been told by the Sect Leader that if Qin Nan were unwilling to join the South-Heaven Sacred Ground, he must be killed at all costs.


Therefore, when Qin Nan rejected his offer, he was extremely astounded.


Normally, a three-starred enemy would be eliminated without any mercy. Only a few would be given the chance to join the South-Heaven Sacred Ground, which would save them from being killed.


"This..."


The Extraordinary Saber Monarch, the Fallen Demon Monarch, and the others began to hesitate.


Was it worth it to offend the South-Heaven Sacred Ground for a mere Qin Nan?


However, Qin Nan had protected the dignity of the Middle Continent and returned the glory through the battles with the disciples of the half-G.o.d region. If they were to hand Qin Nan over just like that, won"t they be the laughing stock for the world?


"Martial Monarch Nanjian, even if Qin Nan were a three-starred enemy of the South-Heaven Gate, he is also a disciple of the Dragon Emperor Clan. I can"t watch you kill him just like that! That being said, if Qin Nan decides to leave the Dragon Emperor Clan, whatever you want to do to him is no longer our concern..."


The Dragon Emperor Clan said while clenching his teeth.


If Senior G.o.d Beast had not commanded them not to help Qin Nan any further, the South-Heaven Sacred Ground would have no chance of touching Qin Nan even if he were a three-starred enemy.


However, there was no way they could resist the command from the G.o.d Beast.


Therefore, the Dragon Emperor could only protect Qin Nan within the vicinity of the Dragon Emperor Clan.


Martial Monarch Nanjian frowned slightly. Although the South-Heaven Sacred Ground had a formidable background, it did not make sense to declare war against an entire faction for a three-starred enemy.


Besides, the Dragon Emperor Clan had already compromised.


However, at that instant, an imperious voice which felt like it had come from the ancient times exploded above the Dragon Emperor Clan.


"Qin Nan is a three-starred enemy of the South-Heaven Sacred Ground, thus it"s reasonable to let the South-Heaven Sacred Ground decide his fate. Dragon Emperor, and everyone else from the Dragon Emperor Clan, I now command that you"re not allowed to protect Qin Nan. Otherwise, you will be expelled from the Dragon Emperor Clan, and no longer be considered a member of the beast tribe. That is all!"
