The sky was just beginning to brighten.
In front of the mountain gate of Martial Mountain, a goshawk flew over and dropped a package.
After a while, a figure walked down from the mountain. As he walked, he yawned.
He took the package and, as he walked back up the mountain, took out a newspaper from the package and unfolded it.
“Let’s check out the headlines!”
He mumbled and began to glance at the front page.
His eyes suddenly widened.
“Heheh, I don’t think I’m fully awake yet. My eyes are blurry!”
He laughed, rubbed his eyes, and looked carefully again.
This time, his eyes widened even more. His eyeballs bulged in extreme shock, and his entire face was contorted.
“B, b, b…. bad news! This is something big!”
He came to his senses and ran up the mountain while shouting.
Soon, the entire mountain was in an uproar.
In a certain city in the southern region…
“Big news! Super big news!”
A boy walked on the street while waving a newspaper in his hand and shouting excitedly.
“Pah! How big can it be? Let me see!”
A burly man walked out of the tavern. He walked unsteadily, and he looked drunk.
He threw the boy a crystal and took a newspaper.
He was stunned when he read the headline. His eyes slowly widened, and his face was full of disbelief.
His expression was as if he had seen a ghost.
“This… this… this can’t be true!”
His lips were shaking, and his voice was trembling.
“Hah, I told you that it’s big news! It can’t be fake!” The boy laughed, walked forward, and continued to shout.
Many people walked out from both sides of the street. When they bought the newspaper and read it, they were all dumbfounded.
“Tang Ritian is Nameless Qin?”
Their first reaction was that the headline was fake!
Nameless Qin, the peerless prodigy whose name shook the Ninth Continent!
Tang Ritian, the pill-making genius whose name shook the entire southern region!
How could these two be the same person?
Not only was Tang Ritian’s pill-making skills superb, but he also founded Ritian Pavilion that sold divine liquor, flying cars, and newspapers all over the southern region. He was one of the richest individuals in the southern region.
He also kept a very low profile. It was said that he had always immersed himself in pill-making. How could such a person be the cool Nameless Qin?
In the past, they had speculated who Nameless Qin was. However, no one had ever thought that it would be Tang Ritian.
The top-notch pill-making genius and the cultivation prodigy could not have been the same person!
However, that news was written by Tang Ritian himself, and he had admitted his identity.
Moreover, he had declared war on all the major sects in the Ninth Continent. The showdown was to be held in Ritian Valley in a month.
That had to be true.
They were shocked, then they went crazy.
Tang Ritian was Nameless Qin. That news was explosive enough to shake the Ninth Continent.
Furthermore, he had officially declared war on all the major sects!
How brazen that person must be to challenge all the major sects at once!
It was simply unprecedented!
No matter what the result of that battle was, it would go down as one of the biggest events in the history of the Ninth Continent.
Everyone held onto the newspapers and cried out in shock. They ran around to spread the news, and a fanatical atmosphere swept through the entire city.
As the newspaper was distributed all over, the fanaticism spread throughout the entire southern region.
The mountains and the cities were in an uproar.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The major sects rang their bells and signaled for a gathering. The elders quickly met up to discuss how to deal with that situation.
The royal families of the Hundred Kingdoms also held emergency family meetings to discuss countermeasures.
The people at the borderlands were the most shocked of all.
Those people in Nanping City and Maple City who knew Tang Hao could not believe it. The usually amiable Storekeeper Tang was Nameless Qin, the supervillain.
“F*ck! Really? Storekeeper Tang is Nameless Qin?”
“Wow! That’s awesome! I knew that there’s something special about Storekeeper Tang!”
“Where’s Storekeeper Tang? I’m asking him for an autograph! I’ll get to brag that I’ve shared a jar of liquor with the number one prodigy!”
Countless people rushed to Nanping City. When they arrived there, they found that Ritian Pavilion and Ritian Valley were closed, as if no one was there.
“What a pity!”
They were all disappointed.
“We stand behind you, Storekeeper Tang!” Some people shouted into the valley.
“I want to stay and witness the great battle in a month’s time!”
They were all extremely excited.
On Channel Mountain, Dean Bai read the newspaper and saw the headline on the front page. He was stunned for a long time.
In the end, he sighed and called for a disciple.
Immediately, a disciple jogged over.
“Copy this and distribute it!”
Dean Bai picked up a scroll and hesitated for a moment before handing it over.
On it was the statement of the academy that they had severed all ties with Tang Ritian.
The disciple took it and opened it. He was stunned when he read the scroll’s contents. Then, his gaze landed on the newspaper, and he became even more shocked.
“Yes, Dean!”
He closed the scroll, bowed, and left.
Dean Bai looked out of the window and sighed again.
Everyone from Wood Cauldron Mountain, Medicine King Valley, and the Jin Kingdom palace who knew Tang Hao was stunned when they read the news.
“F*ck! He’s too awesome!”
Jin Duoduo was so excited that his whole body was trembling.
Su Zhengyu, on the other hand, gasped audibly as fear crept up his face. At the pill maker certification test, he had mocked Tang Ritian several times.
He would not have done that if he knew that Tang Ritian was Nameless Qin!
The commotion spread throughout the southern region and traveled northward.
Everyone who heard it was shocked.
The news also spread to the Void Realm and reached the ears of all the major sects in the Ninth Continent.
“Nameless Qin isn’t Qin but Tang? He’s also a pill-making genius and the richest businessman in the southern region?”
“He even declared war on us, and it’s happening in a month?”
Everyone was stunned when they heard that news.
At the same time, they were incredibly frustrated.
They had always thought that Nameless Qin must have hidden his identity. That was why they had been searching for some unknown figure.
Nameless Qin turned out to be one of the most famous people in the southern region.
No wonder they could not find any leads.
“This is ridiculous! That freak is already so powerful, and he knows how to make high-quality pills?” They wailed.
They thought that the kid was already strong enough, but he was far more monstrous than they had imagined.
The discovery made those middle-aged and old men feel very sad.
“There’s no justice in the world! He’s not human!”
“Yeah! He should be punished by the heavens!”
The old man with the club and his friends were squatting in the market. Every one of them felt extremely depressed.
