Chapter 985 – The Righteous Ancient City

“Senior is being too kind.” Qin Nan let out a wry smile.

The talisman is known as a Monarch Talisman. In Two-Starred Factions, every core disciple or inner disciple with great talents would be given the talisman as a safety measure.

However, the Monarch Talisman given by the Extraordinary Saber Monarch was completely different. A vague bloody aura could be felt from it, a sign that the Extraordinary Saber Monarch had refined it with his own blood, granting it unimaginable power.

“I guess my job here is done. It’s time to go to the Righteous Sect!” Qin Nan kept the talisman and the Five Dragons Badge before sending a message to Sima Kong.

As the successor of the Emperor of Thieves, he had a great passion for treasure. Since he could pick five of the auctioned items for free, he had decided to let Sima Kong pick two for himself.

After leaving a letter for Tang Qingshan, Qin Nan left the Heaven-Saber Sect.

What was worth mentioning was that on his way out of the Heaven-Saber Sect, the outer and inner disciples who stumbled into him immediately mocked him about his failure to retrieve any saber from the Nine Sabers Ancient Mountain, whom Qin Nan completely ignored.

A day later, Qin Nan took the teleportation portal to the Righteous Sect at the Middle Sector City.

“Mm?”

Qin Nan was startled as he walked out from the portal.

He found himself at an average-sized town, but it was extremely lively due to a great crowd of cultivators. He scanned around with his left eye and saw different towns around him, a total of thirty to be exact, resulting in a strange sight.

“Damn, what took you so long?” An unpleasant voice could be heard, which turned out to be from Sima Kong.

Qin Nan raised his head. It had been a while since they had last met each other, and Sima Kong seemed skinnier, wearing a torn robe. On his waist hung a wine gourd, while his eyes were so tiny that they almost formed a single line, giving him a miserable appearance.

However, Qin Nan was aware that the robe and the wine gourd were both powerful Monarch Weapons containing terrifying energy.

“Tsk tsk, someone has found the succession of the Emperor of Thieves?” Qin Nan asked curiously, as he realized that he was unable to peek through Sima Kong’s cultivation.

“Hehe, aren’t you talking nonsense, do you think the Almighty Sima would have trouble finding a mere succession?” Sima Kong said in a proud tone, but his expression froze as he saw the indifferent grin on Qin Nan’s face, causing him to blurt out with a distorted face, “Goddamn it, that succession of the Emperor of Thieves was trickier than I thought. I almost died…”

The Emperor of Thieves was definitely not an ordinary cultivator.

“Sigh, forget it. Do you really have the Five Dragon Badge?” Sima Kong’s eyes were opened wide as a sudden thought crossed his mind.

Qin Nan nodded.

“Awesome!” Sima Kong’s eyes flickered as he gulped down a mouthful of saliva, “With the Five Dragons Badge, maybe we can pay a visit to the Yellow Spring Shop.”

“Yellow Spring Shop?” Qin Nan was stunned.

“Either way, we should head to the Righteous Ancient City now. The auction is about to begin, everyone is making their way there now. I hear that the items being auctioned are pretty fascinating. Let’s hurry up, I don’t want to miss any of them.” Sima Kong swiftly said.

With Sima Kong leading the way, they quickly weaved through the crowds toward the center.

It turned out that the thirty towns actually combined into a giant formation. If anyone was trying to make their way to the Righteous Sect, they had to find their way through the formation to locate the real entrance.

That being said, most of the towns had disciples selling the way to enter the Righteous Sect at a shocking price. Only the rogue cultivators who were completely clueless about the formation would buy it.

Whoosh!

Qin Nan and Sima Kong soon arrived at the Righteous Ancient City.

As soon as they landed, different aromas and noises of the crowd swept toward them from all directions, as if a grand occasion was taking place.

“Mm?” Before Qin Nan could take a look at his surroundings, his hair instantly stood on end.

He could sense an ancient aura covering his figure, trying to peek through him.

Qin Nan activated the golden seal to protect him before glancing at his surroundings with his left eye.

Each of the spacious paths before him was filled with stalls and crowded with disciples from various factions, resulting in a lively sight.

Despite that, all the paths had an obvious ancient blue aura, completely visible even with the auras of the peak Martial Progenitors around.

“This is the Righteous Ancient City. The Righteous Sect is located at its center. According to the rumors, this Righteous Ancient City is an artifact that has surpassed the Monarch Weapon level. Besides that, below it is a place related to the Yellow Springs, a place filled with rare phenomena that protect an ancient secret.” Sima Kong transmitted his voice to Qin Nan.

He was quite informed about the factions in the Middle Continent, including the half-God region.

“I see, a place filled with rare phenomena!” Qin Nan tried to take a peek below him with his left eye but was blocked by an ancient presence, which was similar to the aura that had tried to peek through him a moment ago.

“Come, I’ll bring you on a tour around the ancient city with the most trading opportunities in the Middle Continent.” Sima Kong became excited as he led Qin Nan around the different streets.

Even Qin Nan was quite intrigued throughout the journey.

There were stone-betting, treasure-betting, and trading of destiny-altering maps, etc. in the Righteous Ancient City. Furthermore, the order of the place was well-maintained.

One of the cultivators had tried to make a scene, but he was soon detained by the elders and disciples of the Righteous Sect on the spot, who dealt with the problem in a just manner.

“Crap, we have to find a nice inn close to the auction venue now.” Sima Kong slapped his own head.

“Inn? I saw lots of them along the way?” Qin Nan asked curiously.

“You have no idea. The Righteous Ancient City has a rule. Everyone has to stay inside an inn after midnight, with no exception. The Righteous Sect will not be held responsible if anything happens.” Sima Kong shrugged, “We should find a better inn. Otherwise, I’m going to get a headache listening to that thing’s cry and the howl of the wind, etc. Besides, a good inn will have their own passage that we can use when the sun rises.”

“Oh?” Qin Nan raised his eyebrow as his eyes glistened.
