"This …" Elder Nangong's voice was a little hesitant, but he still answered honestly, "In the process of carrying out the task, I accidentally got injured, so I need some time to recuperate. Do you have any new instructions? If there are other urgent things to do, then you may need to send someone else! "
"What?! You're injured? " The young master was shocked and asked eagerly, "Elder Nangong, your cultivation is so high, how can you be injured? Has the opponent's strength already surpassed yours? "
In the young master's impression, Elder Nangong should be at the Peak of the Profound Ascension Stage. Although he was not the top expert in the entire Cultivation World, it should be more than enough to deal with the Burning Sky Sect. He didn't expect that he would be injured!
Elder Nangong stood in the room of the Burning Sky Sect with a slightly bitter smile on his face. It turned out that Duan Suqing's guess was right, he really was injured. He just stayed in the Burning Sky Sect under the guise of waiting for the treasure to be counted and recuperated.
But even so, Elder Nangong really didn't care about this little injury. After all, he had been at the Peak of the Profound Ascension Stage for a long time, so his injury was much lighter than Xiao Chen's. Moreover, he had the most precious healing pill of the Profound Cloud Sect with him, plus the five disciples by his side, so he only needed to recuperate quietly for a few days.
"It's just a small injury, it's not a big deal. Thank you for your concern, young master. I can go back in a few days." Elder Nangong collected his thoughts and said to the water basin.
"That's good. I don't know if Elder Nangong has investigated the opponent's background?" The young master's voice quickly came back. It was obvious that he was more concerned about the situation of the opponent.
"This … I did not investigate his background in detail. However, when I was fighting against him, I heard others call him Xiao Qiang. Furthermore, the magic tools he used were extremely unique. There was a flying sword that seemed to have developed intelligence. Furthermore, there was a bluish-purple flame. I suspect that it was a type of Heavenly Flame. Unfortunately, I was unable to capture it." Elder Nan Gong frowned and recalled for a while before reporting in detail.
"Xiao Qiang … Xiao Chen …" The Young Master repeated it a few times. Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind and he came to a conclusion. This Xiao Qiang … was most likely the Xiao Chen that Cheng Mengying had mentioned! I can't believe he really came to the World of Cultivators!
"Elder Nangong, how was your match with Xiao Qiang?" After the Young Master confirmed the suspicions in his heart, he immediately asked, "I know that you must have obtained a complete victory. However, I mainly want to know what happened to that fellow in the end?"
"Oh, that brat was already on the verge of death after being beaten by me. He was heavily injured and on the verge of death. Although he was carried away by a woman who used that flying sword to escape, based on the injuries he suffered, he probably won't be able to live for long." Elder Nan Gong said casually.
"Oh … Elder Nan Gong, are you sure that he won't be able to live? Did you send people to continue tracking him? " The Young Master did not give up and said in a deep voice, "According to what I know, that fellow is extremely cunning. It would be best if you could personally … No, it would be best if you could bring his corpse back and let me personally confirm it!"
The reason why he was so cautious was because the Young Master understood Xiao Chen better. He was very familiar with his unkillable cockroach-like nature. Even if he was beaten to a state where he was on his last breath, as long as he was not killed directly, he would make a comeback in no time. There had never been a situation where he died from serious injuries!
"I don't think that's necessary, right?" Elder Nan Gong's tone was somewhat impatient. "Do you still have any doubts about me? I dare to guarantee that that brat definitely won't be able to live. You don't have to worry about this! "
In actuality, Elder Nan Gong did not have much respect for this Young Master. At that time, he had only agreed to deal with Xiao Chen because the Great Master had personally stepped forward.
Originally, Elder Nan Gong already felt a little sullen when he was being ordered around by a little brat. In the end, the other party actually did not trust him. This was simply preposterous!
"Then … Alright, then rest well for a while. It won't be too late to come back after you've recovered. I will send people to confirm again. You don't have to worry about it." The Young Master could naturally hear the impatience in Elder Nan Gong's voice, but he did not dare to continue bickering with him. He could only helplessly pacify him.
As the second largest sect in the cultivation world, the Profound Cloud Sect had a strong foundation. The Young Master felt that there was no need to offend them for no reason. It was better to think of a way himself.
Just as the Young Master poured the water out of the basin, Elder Shen knocked on the door and walked in.
"Young Master, I have already used that special magic tool to tie up that girl with the surname Cheng." Elder Shen cupped his hands and reported in a serious manner, "As you expected, that magic tool can indeed suppress the vitality in her body, causing her to be unable to use her true strength. Then what should we do with her next?"
The Young Master thought for a while and instructed, "Put her aside for now! There is no need to care about her or interrogate her. In any case, there will definitely be no results from the interrogation. "
Elder Shen's face instantly turned pale. He stammered and wanted to apologize, "So … Sorry, Young Master, we tried our best, but …"
Before Elder Shen could finish speaking, the Young Master waved his hand and said indifferently, "I have no intention of blaming you. I know this girl. She has always been a thorn, so there is no need to care about her for now. I have other things for you to do."
"Alright, please instruct me, Young Master. I will definitely do my best to complete the task you have given me!" When Elder Shen heard that he was not going to be punished, he immediately became spirited and patted his chest.
The Young Master nodded his head and took out a map of the cultivation world from the bookshelf. He spread it out on the table and looked at it carefully. Then, he used a pen to circle an area on the map and instructed, "Bring more people and carefully search this area for the whereabouts of a person called Xiao Chen. That person might also change his name to Xiao Qiang. After you find him, immediately kill him and bring his corpse back to me. Do you understand?"
"En, understood. Subordinate obeys!" When Elder Shen heard that this task was much simpler than interrogating a hostage without any torture, he immediately nodded his head happily.
After listening to the Young Master's description of Xiao Chen's appearance, Elder Shen left the room. He called a few Profound Ascending Stage experts and a group of Nascent Soul Peak Stage subordinates. He took the map that the Young Master gave him and rushed towards the marked location.
