C49 Struggle for heaven's mandate

Three days had passed since the great battle at the Desolate Heavenly Platform, but the atmosphere in the battlefield had not diminished in the slightest.

Especially Qiao Nan's retrograde attack, which had split Qian Ning in half and became even more famous in the Northern Wasteland.

But at the moment, Qiao Nan was a little embarrassed. He was the true name of the Northern Wasteland, it should have been a great thing, but he had killed someone he should not have killed.

"I think we should hand Qiao Nan over. Eastern Desolation has been suppressing the four wastelands for many years, and Qian Xiaosheng is the second clan elder of the Eastern Desolation.

"This won't do. If I hand it over, won't it make everyone in the world laugh until their teeth fall off and make us the laughingstock of the world?"

Within the Northern Wasteland Hall, a group of old men were quarreling with each other.

Anyone who took them out would be a powerful being, and if it were not for the important matter at hand, Li Mingtian would not have invited them out so easily.

These people were the true masters of the Northern Wasteland, and were famous elders.

"Ol 'Five, you know more about this matter. Tell me your opinion."

An old man dressed in coarse hemp sat at the head of the group. There was not the slightest fluctuation of energy in his body. He looked like an ordinary old man.

However, upon closer inspection, one could see that he seemed to be immersed within the heavens and earth. This was a type of dao, and as such, he comprehended a concept that was difficult to put into words.

Second Clan Elder, I believe we cannot hand over Qiao Nan. Hearing that the old man wanted him to express his opinion, Li Mingtian thought for a long time and finally made up his mind.

"Fifth brother, you must think carefully, can our Northern Wasteland withstand the anger of the Eastern Desolation?"

An old man sitting there heard that Li Mingtian did not want to hand it over, and he was surprised.

Fifth Elder Li Mingtian had always been known for being meticulous and meticulous with his thoughts, which was why he was responsible for everything in the Academy.

But he could not understand Li Mingtian's decision.

"Fourth Bro, don't say anything." The old man turned around and said to Li Mingtian, "Ming Tian, tell me your reason."

"Yes, Second Elder, first of all, Qian Ning brought this upon himself. No one can be blamed for this. Secondly, this matter concerns the reputation of the Northern Wasteland, and it cannot be easily compromised. Otherwise, what's the point of the Four Wastelands War?"

Every single word from Li Mingtian was like a gem. If surrender was due to the power of the Eastern Desolation, why would there be a Four Desolations War every ten years, which would decide the ownership of the courtyard's treasure?

Furthermore, Qiao Nan, this child has a terrifying talent, he was able to defeat Qian Ning who was in the Mortal Revolving Core realm, and is considered the number one genius in the history of the Northern Wasteland. With such talent, even Ruoxue and the others might not be able to match him.

Li Mingtian was extremely excited. This was a dream that had lived for thousands of years in the four wastelands.

"To put it lightly, there is no lack of geniuses in this world, but how many will be able to reach the end? The path of cultivation is filled with danger. If one is not careful, they will die. Would he be able to grow up? "

Doubts were raised.

It would be more practical to leave hope to the unpredictable future.

Second Elder, I have a suggestion, to send Qiao Nan out on a mission of death. If he can return alive, then it means that he is worth it for us.

"Yes, I agree with the Sixth Elder's suggestion." The Sixth Elder had just finished speaking when someone stood up to support him.

If Qiao Nan could not survive the mission of death, then it would not be worth it for them to nurture him.

"But is this death mission …" Someone interrupted the fifth elder before he could finish, "If he can't even pass this little test, how can he survive in this world?"

"Yesterday, I received a letter from the Eastern Desolation. They did not pursue this matter.

As the old man spoke, he took out a thin letter from his bosom.

"They want Qiao Nan to participate in the Four Desolate War?" After the elders finished reading, they were shocked.

Qian Xiaosheng actually did not want to pursue the matter of Qian Ning's death, but Qiao Nan had to represent the Northern Wasteland to participate in the Four Desolate Battles.

"Hmph, Qian Xiaosheng is such a scheming guy, although he looks magnanimous on the surface, he is actually harboring evil intentions, and this action will not only kill Qiao Nan, but also weaken our Northern Wasteland participant strength."

Li Mingtian laughed coldly after he finished reading it. Qiao Nan was not even at the Mortal Wheel Realm, yet he ran over to fight with a Mortal Sect expert? Isn't he courting death?

Not only did it take up one of the Northern Wasteland participant slots, it could also take advantage of the opportunity to kill Qiao Nan.

"It's only more than half a year away from the Four Great Desolate War, and the fourth candidate has not been confirmed. Yan Bingqing has yet to make a breakthrough, so I think it's better for him to just go with the flow and agree to Eastern Desolation's request."

If Qiao Nan is unable to return alive from the mission of death, then Bing Qing will fight in accordance to the original plan. But if he comes back alive, that shows that he has a certain amount of potential, so this Four Desolate War Institution will be treated as the final test. "

"I agree."

Out of the seven elders, all five of them chose to agree.

"But," Li Mingtian still wanted to say something, but the old man waved his hand and said: "This matter is decided. Fifth Elder, arrange for Qiao Nan to carry out a death mission."

"Yes sir!" Li Mingtian was helpless, even the old man agreed, he could only follow the order.

The Northern Wasteland Mountain was located deep within the Hundred Thousand Mountain Range of the entire academy. It was the Spiritual Mountain that had the densest Spiritual Energy in the entire academy.

At that moment, Qiao Nan was sitting in a cave in the Northern Wasteland while cultivating.

This place was the residence of the Fifth Elder, Li Mingtian.

"How is it, has your injury healed?" Li Mingtian walked in from outside the cave.

That day, Qiao Nan's injuries were not light either, his internal organs were on the verge of transforming, and were forcefully saved by Li Mingtian using heaven and earth treasures.

"Does the Northern Wasteland want to give up on me?" Qiao Nan woke up from his meditation, a pair of pitch black eyes deep and unfathomable.

He had defeated Qian Ning and won the reputation of the Northern Wasteland. He was supposed to reward Qian Jin handsomely, but he had been arranged to do so here.

For three whole days, no one cared!

Wasn't this a disguised form of house arrest?

Fate. Although the Heavens and Earth are fixed, we can fight for it. Are you willing to fight for the fate of Heaven?

"What do you mean?" Qiao Nan had a good impression of this old man.

"Go and accept a death mission, prove it to the world, you, Qiao Nan, will definitely become a peerless heaven's pride level expert that can suppress his peers."

"It's to prove it to the people of the Northern Wasteland."

Qiao Nan coldly snorted.

He had already roughly guessed the outcome of this matter.

"If you are unwilling, I will not make things difficult for you. Of course, if you can complete the mission, not only will you receive the bottle of purple gold dragon blood, the Northern Wasteland will nurture you even more from now on."

Li Mingtian had found out from Clan Elder Qi that Qiao Nan had been salivating over the Kui dragon's blood.

"Really?"

Qiao Nan was very clear that Qian Ning came from a long history. Even if he did not agree to the Northern Wasteland's training, he would definitely be killed by the Eastern Desolation once he left the Northern Wasteland.

"Haha, how could this old man be deceiving a kid like you." Li Mingtian laughed openly, the fact that he could ask meant that he agreed to it.

"Alright, I will go to the Northern Wasteland Pavilion for the death mission in three days, but before I leave, I hope you can help me with something."

"Speak, as long as it is within my capabilities."

"Help me investigate the identities of Xue Kai and Xue Qi. Also, after I leave, you are not allowed to allow them to leave the Northern Wasteland. Also, check on the situation of the Chu Kingdom's Black Armored Army along the way. "

Why did this brat investigate the two of them?

Although Li Mingtian was suspicious, he still agreed to it. This small matter was nothing to him.
