Peerless Battle Spirit-Chapter 2323: Red Dragon City

Chapter 2323: Red Dragon City

"Let's see how the situation is now."

Qin Nan calmed his thoughts and took out a badge.

The badge was called the Immortal Assembling Badge. The ten Heaven Daoism Factions had created it. It included all kinds of important information. The Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Badge that later appeared in Qin Nan's time was a replica of it.

Qin Nan looked into the badge and found the section related to the Fifth Small Immortal Realm. He soon noticed a red line of words.

"Dragon Island Heaven Highness has suddenly put up a quest. He will do anyone who can find the Four-Way Dragon Pattern three favors within his capabilities! The time limit is ten years. Anyone can go to the Dragon Island to accept the quest!"

"If anyone found the Four-Way Dragon Pattern, they just have to return to the Dragon Island and hand in the quest. The Dragon Island Heaven Highness' will will visit the person!"

Qin Nan rose to his feet and flew into the rift.

……

……

The strange quest had startled the entire Fifth Small Immortal Realm. Many factions and cultivators were doing everything to search for the Four-Way Dragon Pattern.

It also attracted some factions and rogue cultivators of other Small Immortal Realms.

The inns of the Red Dragon City were bustling with noises. Many cultivators were discussing the quest.

Even the City Lord who was cultivating in seclusion immediately organized an emergency meeting.

As for Qin Nan, he was familiar with the Fifth Small Immortal Realm after claiming Lin Xiaozhi's memory. He arrived in the Red Dragon City after a few hours.

He paid some immortal rocks to enter the city.

Qin Nan nodded as he observed his surroundings on the streets.

Even though the Red Dragon City was only an ancient Dao-Seeking Weapon, every structure and rock in the city was connected to establish a powerful formation, granting the city a sturdy defense.

A Ruler of Dao in the early stage could hold off the attacks of a peak Ruler of Dao for a few hours with the help of the formation.

Qin Nan slowly spread his Divine Sense across the city after some time.

"Mm?"

Qin Nan soon detected five Rulers of Dao in the city.

Three of them were in the City Lord's mansion. One of them was in the Greater Success Stage, while the other two were in the early stage.

"The guy in the Greater Success Stage must be the City Lord," Qin Nan murmured.

How was he going to obtain the Four-Way Dragon Pattern without alerting them?

Stealing and robbing were not an option. Qin Nan would never stoop so low.

If that was the case...

"Got it," a thought crossed Qin Nan's mind. He headed for the City Lord's mansion.

"Hold it right there!" two guards in armor stood on both sides of the entrance. They shouted when they saw Qin Nan approaching, "Who are you?"

Qin Nan said with a smile, "I'm Lin Xiaozhi, an inner disciple of the Curved Swords. I have come to see the City Lord. Please let him know."

Qin Nan flicked his finger. A badge floated in the air.

The two guards immediately brought their fists together, "Sorry for not recognizing senior. Please don't blame us for it. I'll notify the City Lord at once."

A man went inside and returned swiftly. He invited Qin Nan in with a gesture. Qin Nan nodded and followed him.

The City Lord's mansion had an area of over a hundred li. It had scenic hills, rivers, and woods, like a hidden land of peace and prosperity.

However, Qin Nan could sense every plant and tree was part of a hidden formation connected to the Red Dragon City. Any intruder would find themselves surrounded by deadly traps.

Qin Nan went to the main hall and saw a middle-aged man in a red mantle, whose face was full of scars seated on the main seat. On his sides were a white-haired old man and a young man in a black robe.

"HAHA, Cultivator Lin, welcome to the Red Dragon City!" the City Lord rose to his feet and greeted with a laugh.

"Greetings, Lord and Vice Lords of the Red Dragon City. I apologize in advance for coming here without an invitation. I hope you didn't mind," Qin Nan said.

"Of course not, it's an honor for an inner disciple of the Curved Swords to visit us!" the City Lord said.

"My lord is right. Cultivator Lin, there's no need to be so courteous. However, I wonder why you have come to our city?" the white-haired old man asked.

The City Lord and the young man were puzzled too.

An outer disciple of the Curved Swords already had an outstanding status in the Fifth Small Immortal Realm, let alone an inner disciple in the peak Master Realm who was close to becoming a core disciple.

The Red Dragon City was below-average among the factions in the Fifth Small Immortal Realm. It was unlikely for someone like Lin Xiaozhi to visit them, let alone have something to discuss with them.

Qin Nan said, "I'll be honest with you. I've discovered something that belonged to a Heaven Highness recently. It seems to have some connections with a certain object in your treasure vault."

The City Lord and the others were startled. Something that belonged to a Heaven Highness?

The young man remained calm. He said with a puzzled look, "It must be something extraordinary if it's related to a Heaven Highness, but you could have asked the seniors of your faction for help and claim it for you. Why would you come here yourself..."

Qin Nan shook his head and said, "I believe you all are smart to realize that with my strength, stealing it isn't going to work. If I tell my faction, I can't guarantee the thing I have and the thing in your treasure vault will still be in my hands in the end."

The three authorities of the Red Dragon City nodded.

The infighting of the Heaven Daoism factions was even worse than the competition between different factions.

The City Lord took his seat and tapped on the table. He said, "Cultivator Lin, aren't you worried we might kill you after what you told us? You are just a peak Master of Dao. You are no match against the three of us, not to mention we can use the Red Dragon City's formation against you too."

A murderous aura immediately spread in the hall.
