Chapter 1008 – The Departed Soul of the Ancient Well

“I’ve been too careless . They’re treating me like an ant that they can kill with a single thought, thus allowing them to strike whenever they feel like it . It seems like my plan to hide my true strength until the very end isn’t going too well!”

Qin Nan withdrew his murderous intent .

“It’s fine too, I can advance at my own pace and give them a surprise attack later . ”

Qin Nan made up his mind .

In a situation like this, nothing else really mattered, as everyone was competing with one another with brute force . Only the strongest person would survive until the end .

If you were unable to match the strength of the others, it was better to withdraw from it as early as possible .

“According to the scroll, the Soul-Hooking Pond is able to hook one’s soul from their body . However, I might be able to resist it with my current strength!”

Qin Nan immediately headed to the serene-blue pond .

Even though he was not absolutely confident in himself, it was worth taking the risk .

Howl…

At that instant, a frightening shriek could be heard coming from the pond . Qin Nan’s figure shuddered as it felt like an invisible force had grabbed his soul and Martial Spirit and was dragging them downward, falling into the endless void .

“Suppression of the golden seal!

“Might of the Divine God of Battle!”

Qin Nan groaned .

The golden seal and the Divine Battle Spirit were activated .

BANG!

Following a soft explosion on the surface of the pond, the invisible force was blown away, no longer bringing any harm to Qin Nan .

“It worked . ”

Qin Nan let out a relieved sigh as he followed the flow of the water .

He purposely slowed down his pace .

A while later, Qin Nan saw an ancient boat stopped ahead of him, followed by a path covered in darkness . Even the vision of his left eye was restricted, preventing him from seeing a great distance .

“Mm? There’s a door here?” As Qin Nan was about to move forward, he quickly scanned around and caught a glimpse of a hidden door under the water, which was difficult to be discovered as there was no presence of energy from it .

“Let’s take a look . ”

Qin Nan approached the door .

He had learned that everything extraordinary in this ancient tomb only existed for a reason . The experts whose cultivations had reached a certain level would have their own way of setting up the place .

“This door is very heavy, it’s made of some incredible material . It’s unlikely that I’d be able to break it open with my current strength…”

Qin Nan took a closer look at the patterns on the door .

If he could not break it open with brute force, there must be some clues from the patterns .

“There are two holes here . Could they be related to the spheres I found on the female’s statue?” Qin Nan discovered two hidden sockets and placed the blue spheres into them .

As he thought, the size fit perfectly .

Squeak .

A few moments later, the giant door slowly opened . As a five inch gap was revealed, the door was knocked open instantly by a terrifying impact, as a thick black mist burst out like a tide .

Even the Soul-Hooking Pond began to vibrate vigorously as if it were scared of the black mist .

“Crap!” Qin Nan was astounded . In the nick of time, he immediately activated the golden seal to protect himself as his figure was devoured by the black mist .

At that instant, he felt like he had turned into a raft on a furious ocean, which would be devoured by the angry waves at any moment .

Luckily, the golden seal was extremely powerful . The golden glow did not break at all .

A few hundred breaths’ later, the black mist finally dissipated, allowing Qin Nan to utter a sigh of relief . He withdrew the golden seal and glanced toward the door .

It was a path made of crimson-red mud, with footsteps scattered around, as if many people had been there before .

Qin Nan scanned with his left eye before he followed the path .

His figure was tense throughout the whole process, not willing to put his guard down .

Wu…Ah…Wu…Ah…

Qin Nan had lost track of the time as he heard a soft voice coming from ahead . It was someone singing, which kept on repeating the same notes .

As he ventured deeper, the singing became clearer .

For some reason, Qin Nan felt his heart sinking, with a hint of sadness .

“Such terrifying singing . ” Qin Nan’s heart shuddered as he collected his thoughts .

His Martial Heart had reached a certain sturdiness throughout his cultivation journey and the baptism of the suppression of the Divine God of Battle . Even the challenges of the Undying Martial Monarch were unable to influence it, but it was now affected by the singing .

At last, the singing halted, causing the surroundings to fall silent .

Qin Nan paused for a brief while before he continued moving forward . After a few more steps, the darkness began to clear as he had reached the end of the path .

In front of him was a desert .

“Isn’t this desert the one I saw in the last drawing?” Qin Nan frowned as he checked his surroundings and could only see an ancient well .

Thump .

A pitch-black hand reached out from the well and grabbed the edge .

Qin Nan’s eyes flickered as he unleashed a saber intent with his right hand .

Whoosh .

A figure leapt out from the well .

The figure had a strange appearance, entirely black in color as if it were stained by ink .

“May I ask…who senior is?” Qin Nan asked in a probing manner .

“Me?” The person pondered before answering, “I think I’m the owner of the tomb . ”

“Owner? The half-Martial God Realm expert?” Qin Nan was startled .

“Half-Martial God Realm expert? No no no, I’m just a failure . ” The pitch-black man shook his hand .

“A failure?”

Qin Nan was stunned .

“Yes, a failure . ” The man smilingly said, “Didn’t you see the drawings? The one that brought many experts to kill me, she was my companion, the woman whom I was in love with for three hundred and sixty-seven years . ”

The smile did not show any hint of self-mockery .

“Senior…were you betrayed?” Qin Nan asked curiously .

He had been curious when he had seen the drawings in the first-floor, but he did not expect this to be the case .

“Yeah, betrayed . ” The man suddenly asked, “Were you betrayed by your companion before?”

“Senior, I don’t have one . ” Qin Nan said .

“Impossible, you surely have one . ” The eyes of the man flickered, “If you didn’t you wouldn’t be able to enter this place . Oh, maybe you’re in love with her, but she’s not your companion yet . I completely forgot about that, is that the case?”

“Senior, I’m sorry . It was not too difficult to find this place, to be honest . I found two spheres from the statue in the first-floor, and discovered this door under the Soul-Hooking Pond, and ended up here after surviving the black mist…”

Qin Nan said calmly .

However, before he could finish, the man interrupted, “You’re wrong, those were just some simple tricks I’d set up . See this well? I’ve modeled it after the Well of Love . If you didn’t have a beloved woman, you wouldn’t be able to stay within a thousand li of it . ”

The man stared at Qin Nan with a look of interest, “I’m sure that you have someone beloved, but maybe you’re not aware of it yet . Why don’t you take a look into the well? You will see her face on the surface of the water . ”
