Chapter 1068 – Aromatic Inn
A scornful voice could be heard all of a sudden.
The ground of the street began to tremble slightly as if an army consisting of over a thousand soldiers were marching on it.
Qin Nan subconsciously raised his head and saw a three zhang tall and five zhang wide tiger beast, with four horns on its head and a pair of flickering golden eyes. It was dragging a luxurious cart, on which a bulky man with thick eyebrows wearing an armor-plate was standing.
The cultivation of the beast had reached the sixth-layer Martial Sacred Realm, while the man was a first-layer Martial Sacred.
“The Four-Horned Golden-Eyed Tiger! It’s the Second Son of the Chen Clan! He’s back!”
“Damn, it’s the prodigal son, let’s move aside quickly!”
The cultivators on the street were startled, who then stepped aside while cursing under their breaths.
Although some of their cultivations had exceeded the sixth-layer Martial Sacred Realm, they would not dare to block the way. After all, the Chen Clan was second only to the royal family in the Southern Continent!
Qin Nan calmly stood aside.
He had no intention of wasting his time on this. His aim of the journey was to comprehend the Sky-Desolating Saber Art.
However, the Four-Horned Golden-Eyed Tiger was used to acting ruthlessly here in the Southern Continent, thus while it ran past the crowd, it would open its murderous mouth and roar at the cultivators, causing their faces to turn pale.
It enjoyed watching the fear in the humans’ reactions!
Soon, the Four-Horned Golden-Eyed Tiger had dragged the cart half-a-zhang forward. It instinctively turned around and opened its murderous mouth facing Qin Nan, prepared to utter a roar.
If it let out a roar, the saliva that would be spat out from its mouth would be terrifying enough, let alone the noise.
Qin Nan’s eyes became cold.
How nice of this Four-Horned Golden-Eyed Tiger!
He was just standing at the side of the street without doing anything, and it dared to roar at him with no respect?
“You dare?”
Qin Nan’s figure remained stationary as he uttered the two words coldly.
An imperious aura was emitted from his figure.
The Four-Horned Golden-Eyed Tiger shivered as if it had sensed a great danger, causing it to halt its actions instinctively. It took a few steps back with eyes full of terror.
It could sense the young man before him possessed a terrifying aura.
“Who? Who are you? What are you doing? Do you have any idea who this cart belongs to?”
The bulky man driving the cart instantly yelled upon seeing this.
The cultivators on the street were startled, as they never thought someone would dare to challenge the Second Son of the Chen Clan.
They subconsciously glanced in Qin Nan’s direction and were left speechless.
Fifth-layer Martial Sacred Realm?
Was it his first time coming to the Royal City?
Everyone in the Royal City knew that those who offended the Second Son of the Chen Clan with a cultivation lower than the ninth-layer Martial Sacred Realm would not have a good ending!
“A mere fifth-layer Martial Sacred dares to block my path, Xiao Hu, bite him.” A scornful voice could be heard coming from the cart.
The owner of the voice was none other than the Second Son of the Chen Clan, Chen Rong!
“Bite me?” Qin Nan let out a hollow laugh and said, “What is the connection between you and Chen Yun?”
“Chen Yun? You know my sister?”
Chen Rong’s voice was filled with astonishment, as he did not expect a random fifth-layer Martial Sacred Realm cultivator whom he bumped into would know his sister.
The bulky man who was about to scold Qin Nan immediately withdrew all of his words and gulped them down into his throat.
“I’ll spare your life once for the sake of your sister. Begone!”
Qin Nan said calmly, but as he finished his speech, a great dragon might was directed toward the Four-Horned Golden-Eyed Tiger.
The Four-Horned Golden-Eyed Tiger which was being hesitant was startled as if it had met some utterly terrifying presence. It let out a groan and immediately fled into the distance.
“Xiao Hu! What are you doing! Stop at once!”
Chen Rong’s panicked voice could be heard, but the Four-Horned Golden-Eyed Tiger acted as if it had gone mad, fleeing from the scene without any sign of stopping.
Their voices slowly faded away into the distance.
The street was left in a messy state.
The cultivators were dumbfounded after witnessing this.
What just happened?
The Four-Horned Golden-Eyed Tiger was a sixth-layer Martial Sacred Realm beast, and the young man was only a fifth-layer Martial Sacred. Why would the Four-Horned Golden-Eyed Tiger obey his demands when he only uttered a single word?
Qin Nan shrugged as if nothing had happened and proceeded to the next street.
Along the way, his gaze was fixed upon the things on the street, but his heart was focused on comprehending the saber intent concealed within every single brick and tile, wood and tree, flower and grass in the surroundings.
Although his cultivation was suppressed, it did not affect his capability to multitask.
He was carefully observing everything in the city like a wandering rogue cultivator.
Six hours later, Qin Nan had finished walking four of the streets, and had comprehended at least ten thousand streams of saber intent.
“That’s strange, the streams of saber intent were scattered randomly and unorganized, some of them were not even related to the same saber art…”
Qin Nan frowned slightly.
Normally, he would at least be able to detect some useful hints after comprehending this many streams of saber intent.
“Forget it, I should try to finish walking around the city today, and see if I can find anything useful.”
Qin Nan shook his head and carried on with his task.
“Mm? The saber intent here is strange.”
Qin Nan was only casting a random glance at it, but he soon discovered something strange about it, thus intriguing him to head toward it.
As soon as Qin Nan entered the Aromatic Inn, his gaze was filled with astonishment.
The inside of the Aromatic Inn was filled with giant tables, piled with all kinds of delicacies and seated with cultivators eating and drinking while chatting loudly, resulting in a lively scene.
The Aromatic Inn turned out to be a restaurant.
“Hello there, how can I help you?” One of the waiters immediately went up to Qin Nan.
Qin Nan glimpsed at the first floor before he switched his focus toward the second floor and said with a calm smile, “Can I go to the second floor?”
However, as soon as he said this, the waiter’s expression changed instantly.
The lively restaurant fell into a dead silence as if a spell had been cast on them.
The cultivators gazed at Qin Nan with strange looks.
A fifth-layer Martial Sacred kid was trying to go to the second floor?
Was this kid…
Tired of living?
