Peerless Dragon Sovereign-Chapter 593: Summoned by the First Hall Master

Chapter 593: Chapter 593: Summoned by the First Hall Master

Zhuge Yun failed to compete for the position of the Ninth Hall Master, but Kun Hun did not intend to let it end there.

He was meticulous and knew that Zhao Shibang, having just become the Ninth Hall Master, was not yet firmly established and unclear about many situations, making it the best time to win him over.

Therefore, Kun Hun proactively brought Chu Nan to the Ninth Sub-Hall to introduce everything here, with the purpose of winning him over for cooperation.

He even took the initiative to show goodwill, after all, Chu Nan was not only the Ninth Hall Master but also the one who possessed the Ancestral Bloodline, whose importance upon entering the Main Hall in the future was almost irreplaceable!

Chu Nan showed a thoughtful expression, although he knew that old fox Kun Hun was not anything good.

However, the opponent’s Soul Dao was indeed terrifying, and despite being only the Eight Hall Master, his status was extremely high. Befriending him before his identity was exposed was not harmful.

Seeing Chu Nan’s silence, Kun Hun spoke again, "Don’t look down on this old man just because I’m the Eighth Hall Master, but in terms of true status, it’s on par with the Second and Third Hall Masters."

"So what if my cultivation is only at the Seventh Heaven, this old man’s Soul Dao is without form or substance, if it comes to real action..."

With a creepy laugh, Kun Hun said, "To boast somewhat, if this old man wants to possess someone, anyone below the Ninth Heaven would weigh their odds!"

After speaking, Kun Hun stared at Chu Nan with a gaze full of complexity, both showcasing his power and implied threat.

Chu Nan knew that even with Kun Hun’s ability, possessing someone wasn’t that easy, but not impossible.

An unparalleled saint-level soul, even if abandoning the physical body, was an extremely terrifying powerhouse.

If the Martial Artist at Ninth Heaven had brought cultivation to the peak of the Celestial Crossing Realm, then Kun Hun’s soul was the peak of souls in the Celestial Crossing Realm!

Thinking of this, Chu Nan chuckled lightly and said, "Eighth Hall Master, there’s no need, as I actually have the same intention."

"But I’ve attracted attention from the Fifth Hall Master, and it might cause you some trouble~"

Chu Nan’s tone was full of probing, his gaze fleetingly looking into the other’s eyes.

"Lan Zhanhan, just an empty name bearer, an ordinary Eighth Heaven can’t handle this old man," Kun Hun was confident, not taking Lan Zhanhan seriously at all.

Chu Nan then said, "In that case, let’s work happily together."

Seeing Kun Hun’s clear stance, Chu Nan naturally wouldn’t refuse cooperation with Kun Hun.

"I like people like you who know the times," Kun Hun laughed and took out a Jade Scroll to give to Chu Nan, "This information from the Slaughter Emperor Sect on conquering our Desolate Ancient Holy Hall cities." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

"This time not only will it assert the prestige of our Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, but it’s also an opportunity for you."

"I hope by the time the Main Hall opens, you can break through to the Seventh Heaven!"

Chu Nan took the Jade Scroll and then said, "Thank you... Hall Master Kun Hun."

"I won’t disturb you any longer, hopefully Hall Master Zhao Shibang will succeed quickly." Leaving these words, Kun Hun departed.

Seeing Kun Hun walk away, Chu Nan closed the hall door, then began to examine the Jade Scroll.

His Spiritual Sense swept over it, and the information within immediately merged into Chu Nan’s Sea of Consciousness.

"Under the Ninth Hall Master, there are eighteen cities, including Cangyuan City which I visited before."

"But following Hai Wujie’s death, the Slaughter Emperor Sect has targeted these cities, already killing seven City Lords in succession and occupying five cities."

The Slaughter Emperor Sect, mysterious and elusive, though an assassination organization, essentially lacked cultivation resources like the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall.

The south desert is vast, but cities are few, each of immense value.

The Slaughter Emperor Sect, through assassinating City Lords, replaces them with their own, complete erosion and reception, severely undermining the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall’s control in the south desert.

More importantly, the Slaughter Emperor Sect does not know how to manage, nor do they genuinely control it.

Their manner of operation is actually more extreme than the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall. For the Slaughter Emperor Sect, cities are not places of operation, just warehouses of blood sacrifice materials.

Their ultimate goal in assassinating City Lords and changing hands is to enhance their own strength through blood sacrifices, a complete demonic path.

However, Chu Nan felt little anger at this, having witnessed too many tragedies through his cultivation journey, becoming numb to blood sacrifices long ago.

But now, as the Ninth Hall Master of the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, he must perform his role convincingly and cannot ignore this.

"It works out well, using the opportunity to extirpate the Slaughter Emperor Sect to leave the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall and enhance strength through the True Martial Holy Hall outside." The Desolate Ancient Holy Hall is good, but only a shackle for Chu Nan.

Before the Main Hall opens, he must use the True Martial Holy Hall to the fullest to elevate his cultivation, no matter the cost!

While Chu Nan was contemplating leaving the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, a puppet not belonging to the Ninth Sub-Hall suddenly came to report from outside: "Ninth Hall Master, the master invites you."

Chu Nan frowned, noticing an ’One’ character on the puppet, so he asked, "Who is your master?"

"The First Hall Master." The puppet responded mechanically, devoid of any emotion.

The First Hall Master!

Chu Nan’s heart skipped a beat, was the First Hall Master going to see him so early?

Though he knew this day would come, the actual moment made even Chu Nan a bit nervous.

After all, it was the First Hall Master, the pinnacle of Ninth Heaven, comparable to Emperor Qin and the Supreme Sect Leader.

Chu Nan lacked confidence in his disguise deceiving the First Hall Master, as a Ninth Heaven Martial Artist was inscrutable, capable of various unknown means.

But Chu Nan had no choice but to go, so he replied, "Since it’s an invitation from the First Hall Master, I shall go, lead the way."

The puppet guided, and Chu Nan soon arrived at the First Sub-Hall.

Though the exterior of the First Sub-Hall slightly differed from the Ninth Sub-Hall, they were essentially the same level.

However, possibly due to the First Hall Master residing here, Chu Nan felt the First Sub-Hall was more dangerous and intimidating than the others after arriving.

Exhaling deeply, Chu Nan stepped into the grand hall.

The hall was dim, even for Chu Nan, making light indiscernible, only barely able to see seats on both sides inside.

His gaze fell to the deepest part, and Chu Nan suddenly noticed a towering shadow sitting at the innermost part, like a deity descended, exerting endless pressure without uttering a word.

"Ninth Hall Master, Zhao Shibang pays respect to the First Hall Master!" Chu Nan felt intimidated, promptly greeting respectfully.

At this moment, Chu Nan felt the First Hall Master seemed even slightly more terrifying than Emperor Qin.

"You are... Zhao Shibang?" The First Hall Master’s cold voice directly echoed in Chu Nan’s mind, striking his soul, instilling awe.

Chu Nan responded, "Yes."

"Ninth Hall Master, very good." The First Hall Master coldly praised Chu Nan, then said, "Exterminating the Slaughter Emperor Sect is no easy task, with so many cities lost, it’s still difficult for you with your current cultivation."

"I bestow upon you the Blood Sacrifice Technique, use it with caution."
