The battle above the valley was still going on, but there was nothing worth talking about. Both sides were just stalling for time.
While the six Dao Emperors were still fighting, on the other side, Xiao Chen's group had gradually left the valley.
However, they didn't let their guard down. After running wildly for six hours and confirming that there were no pursuers behind them, Xiao Chen asked them to stop and rest.
Apart from Xiao Chen, Gu Lingyao, and Nangong Yan, the other 12 Tianfeng Shengzong disciples were all panting heavily at this moment. After running at full speed for six hours, they still had to catch up to Xiao Chen's speed. Although Xiao Chen could slow down to accommodate them, the time still made them quite tired.
Even though Gu Lingyao and Nangong Yan were slightly stronger than the 12 ordinary disciples, their faces were slightly red at this moment. Obviously, they had exhausted a lot of energy as well. However, their breathing could still be considered smooth.
Only Xiao Chen's expression didn't change at this moment. His face wasn't red, and he wasn't out of breath. A wisp of surprise flashed through Nangong Yan's eyes when she saw this. She took the initiative to walk towards Xiao Chen and arrived in front of him.
"Are you really just a core disciple of Tianfeng Shengzong?"
Nangong Yan suspected that Xiao Chen was really a core disciple of Tianfeng Shengzong. When he heard this, Xiao Chen smiled and didn't answer. Instead, he asked Nangong Yan.
"Is this important? Miss Nangong, let's talk about your situation first. Although we've successfully escaped, we're still in Fengyue Mountain Range. We have to return to Tianfeng Mansion as soon as possible. "
They weren't really safe yet, but when she heard Xiao Chen's words, Nangong Yan fell into silence. Logically speaking, Nangong Yan would definitely choose to leave Fengyue Mountain Range as soon as possible if she was able to escape successfully. However, from her expression, Nangong Yan clearly didn't think so.
Without interrupting her thoughts, Xiao Chen stood at the side and looked at Nangong Yan thoughtfully. After a while, Nangong Yan hesitantly said to Xiao Chen.
"Senior Brother Xiao Chen, can we not return to Tianfeng Mansion for now?"
"Oh, why?" Hearing Nangong Yan's words, Xiao Chen didn't seem to find it strange. After all, Xiao Chen had already guessed that Nangong Yan must have been kidnapped by the Qingma Gang for some reason.
Facing Xiao Chen's question, Nangong Yan wasn't stupid. She knew that Xiao Chen must have seen through the clues, so she didn't hide it from Xiao Chen.
"Because … because I want to go to the Saint's Tomb."
Saint's Tomb? Hearing Nangong Yan's words, Xiao Chen, Gu Lingyao, and the other 12 Tianfeng Shengzong disciples were stunned.
What kind of place was a Saint's Mausoleum? It was the place where a Saint fell. Every Saint's Mausoleum represented a great opportunity. Therefore, in the SkyRiver Continent, every time a Saint's Mausoleum appeared, it could be said to be a grand event.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were locked on her, Nangong Yan finally spoke the truth.
The kidnapping of Nangong Yan this time was all because of this Saint's Mausoleum.
According to Nangong Yan, about three years ago, she accidentally obtained half of a jade pendant. At first, Nangong Yan didn't find anything special about the jade pendant. She only felt that it was a bit old, so she kept it.
However, in an unexpected situation, Nangong Yan accidentally opened this half of the jade pendant. From the jade pendant, Nangong Yan knew that it was the key to opening the Saint's Tomb.
A Saint's Tomb that no one had ever entered. After learning this news, Nangong Yan naturally couldn't resist the temptation. Unfortunately, Nangong Yan only had half of the jade pendant in her hands. If she wanted to open the tomb, she had to find the other half of the jade pendant.
Using the power of the Family Nangong, Nangong Yan began to secretly investigate the other half of the jade pendant. After more than two years of hard work, Nangong Yan finally succeeded in finding the other half of the jade pendant. Unfortunately, the other half of the jade pendant had fallen into the hands of a direct disciple of the Tianyue Holy Sect.
"Xu Tianze, the seventh direct disciple of the Tianyue Holy Sect. The other half of the jade pendant is in his hands." Nangong Yan said slowly.
Hearing this, Xiao Chen had basically guessed what had happened, so he immediately said, "That's right.
"So you secretly contacted Xu Tianze and wanted to invite him to the Fengyue Mountain Range to open the Saint's Tomb together. In order to not arouse suspicion, you deliberately used the identity of the Family Nangong to announce in Tianfeng Shengzong that the Family Nangong had a batch of treasures that they wanted to transport to the Tianyue Prefecture. They had to pass through the Fengyue Mountain Range, so they needed the protection of the Tianfeng Shengzong disciples."
"At the same time, you secretly discussed with Xu Tianze and found the Qingma Gang. At first, you wanted the Qingma Gang to take action, but only kidnap the Tianfeng Shengzong disciples. Then you and Xu Tianze would enter the Saint's Tomb. After that, you asked the Qingma Gang to release the Tianfeng Shengzong disciples. This way, no one would know about the existence of the Saint's Tomb, right?"
Xiao Chen said lightly. Hearing this, Nangong Yan nodded. Xiao Chen was right. In fact, it was her and Xu Tianze's idea to find the Qingma Gang in the beginning.
Seeing Nangong Yan nod, Xiao Chen smiled and continued.
"It's a pity that you underestimated Xu Tianze. From the beginning, he didn't want to share the Saint's Tomb with you. So Xu Tianze beat you at your own game and made an agreement with the Qingma Gang behind the scenes. Not only did he kidnap the Tianfeng Shengzong disciples, but he also captured you. Then, he got the other half of the jade pendant from you. This way, he could monopolize all the opportunities in the Saint's Tomb."
After Xiao Chen finished speaking, Nangong Yan nodded again. Indeed, this was the whole story. She had been tricked by Xu Tianze.
According to the information from Wang You Lou, the Qingma Gang had secretly contacted someone from the Tianyue Sacred Sect. Now, it seemed that this person was Xu Tianze.
After Nangong Yan spoke of the matter, the whole process of the matter was already very clear, and the doubts of the past were also solved one by one.
For example, the Qingma Gang kidnapped Nangong Yan without making any demands or killing her. The Qingma Gang originally had no intention of harming Nangong Yan and the others. As long as Xu Tianze obtained the inheritance of the Saint's Tomb, the Qingma Gang would naturally release Nangong Yan and the others unscathed.
The only thing that Xiao Chen didn't expect was that the Saint's Tomb was hidden behind this matter. Xiao Chen was naturally very interested in the Saint's Tomb because it was very likely that a Saint's lifelong inheritance was there. This was something that no one could ignore.
Xiao Chen looked indifferently at Nangong Yan and asked, "So, you want to go to the Saint's Tomb now. However, how can you be sure that Xu Tianze hasn't opened the Saint's Tomb yet? Perhaps he has already obtained an opportunity and left the Fengyue Mountains? "
