“Is that guy out of his mind?”
“Does someone really dare to challenge the third Young Master of the Xingkong Tribe?”
“Tsk tsk, that guy seems to have some background too. This is going to be interesting!”
Qin Nan looked in the direction when he heard the noises.
There were around twenty-five cultivators in the hall. Eighteen of them were in the Heaven Immortal Realm. They had all come to claim the badges.
Among them was a young man with short purple hair, a coat draped over his shoulders, and tattoos depicting three snakes on his face; his eyes were burning with fury.
Standing opposite him was another young man whose eyes were glowing like stars. He was looking at the other man with a hint of disdain.
Behind him were two men in white robes. They were both in the peak Heaven Immortal Realm.
Qin Nan immediately realized what was going on upon seeing them.
He found himself in similar situations many times in the past.
“You have ten breaths’ time to make up your mind. If you don’t give the thing to me when the time is up, you shouldn’t blame me for showing no mercy.”
One of the young men said with a smile, “I already told you, but you insisted to not listen to me. Are you happy now that you’ve forced me to come and intercept you here?”
The other young man’s eyes were spitting flames with blue veins surfacing on his forehead. He managed to endure his anger and said with a deep voice, “Aren’t you afraid that the entire world is going to laugh at you for what you are doing here?”
The young man scoffed after a slight hesitation, “Why would I care? If they dare laugh at me, I’ll just break their legs! Look around you, is anyone laughing at me?”
He glanced around him and did not see any expressions on the crowd’s face. He nodded in satisfaction and said, “Enough talk, I will start counting now. One, two…”
When he counted to five, the other young man clenched his fists and took out a badge. He said, “I’m an inner disciple of the Sky Taihuang Sect, Ouyang An! Third Young Master, if you insist to take my thing, I shall report the incident to the sect!”
“If it somehow influences the relationship between our sect and the Xingkong Tribe, I bet it’s going to be quite a trouble for you too!”
If the young man had a chance, he would not want to reveal his identity.
To his surprise, the other young man burst out laughing disdainfully, “A mere inner disciple is showing his badge around? It seems like you aren’t going to hand over the badge willingly, if that’s the case…”
The two men behind him received their order and unleashed their auras.
Ouyang An’s expression sank slightly. He was only a seventh-layer Heaven Immortal. He was clearly no match against the two men.
Besides, if he was to fight the Xingkong Tribe in the City of Five Tribes, he was surely going to suffer great consequences.
“So what are you going to do? Are you going to rob him with force?”
Qin Nan calmly said as he stood in front of Ouyang An while unleashing the aura of the peak Heaven Immortal Realm.
“Senior Qin, you…”
Lin Shan was startled. He did not expect Qin Nan to intervene with the matter.
On top of him, the crowd and even Ouyang An himself did not expect it either.
The young man that was referred to as the Third Young Master was stunned too. He soon burst out laughing, “HAHAHA, I didn’t believe it before, but it turns out that there are really idiots who are willing to step forward and help a stranger in this world!”
Ouyang An collected his thoughts. A surge of warmth flowed inside his heart. However, he quickly thought of something and transmitted his voice, “Fellow cultivator, I appreciate your help, but I guess it’s better for me to give him what he wants.”
Qin Nan did not even turn his head around. He transmitted his voice back, “How could you allow the others to take your stuff for no reason? Besides, there’s no way I’m going to stand aside when someone from the same clan as I is being picked on.”
“Someone…from the same clan?”
Ouyang An was stunned.
Was the mysterious cultivator wearing a mask a disciple of the Sky Taihuang Sect?
A voice suddenly appeared out of nowhere, “Huh? What’s going on here? It’s pretty crowded here.”
A young man wearing a huge red coat made of the skin of some beast walked into the hall. He had the pendant of a dragon around his neck. His two arms that were exposed were covered in faint blue runes. He was accompanied by four peak Heaven Immortals in black robes.
He had the demeanor of a noble.
“Isn’t he Xiao Tianming from the Daxiao Tribe?”

“What? Is that him? Why is he here?”
Many cultivators were astounded.
Not only did this Xiao Tianming achieve the Heaven Immortal Realm, he was once a Peerless Genius too. On top of that, his identity and status greatly surpassed the young man whom the others referred to as the Third Young Master.
After all, the Third Young Master was only the third grandson of the Xingkong Tribe’s chief, but Xiao Tianming was the fourth son of the Daxiao Tribe’s chief.
Xiao Tianming might not be as impressive as his elder brothers, but he was still the son of the tribe’s leader. If he was lucky and capable enough, there was still a chance for him to become the next chief!
“Brother Ming? Why are you here?”
The third Young Master’s eyes glittered when he saw the young man. He quickly wore a smile. His attitude changed completely compared to how he was treating Qin Nan and Ouyang An.
“What’s going on here?”
Xiao Tianming slightly nodded. He glanced at Qin Nan and Ouyang An briefly and moved his gaze away.
“Brother Ming, you might not know, but I had my eyes on a certain thing…”
The third Young Master explained the situation.
The third Young Master was not too much of a jerk. He did not manipulate the truth. The situation was just as Qin Nan had speculated. Ouyang An had bought something that turned out to be a valuable find, thus the third Young Master was thinking of claiming it.
“Oh? So you’re going to stick up for him?”
Xiao Tianming looked at Qin Nan curiously after he learned what happened.
“How is this even sticking up for someone?”
Qin Nan said expressionlessly, “Isn’t it unreasonable to be taking someone’s belonging away under broad daylight?”
Xiao Tianming did not answer the question. He looked at the third Young Master and asked, “What are you going to do about it?”
The third Young Master’s eyes flickered with hesitation.
He could not tell Xiao Tianming’s attitude regarding the situation.
“I do have a plan here, but it depends whether you are willing to agree to it or not…” Xiao Tianing said with a smile.
“Hehe, Brother Ming, just let me know if you have any idea, I won’t even hesitate to…” the third Young Master said respectfully.
However, Xiao Tianming interrupted before he could finish the sentence. His tone turned cold, “Since someone is rushing to the rescue, we should give him a chance to perform, right? Break his legs and toss him out of here.”
