It was no wonder Dong Hui would think that way.
In the Moon Illumination Sect, even the few Saint Stage powerhouses, including the Sect Leader, might not be able to take out a Three-Star offensive Dao Talisman.
As a Three-Star Saint Inscription Master, Bai Li Hong might have other ways to get a Three-Star offensive Dao Talisman.
"Young Master Duan, this matter is indeed our Ouyang Clan's fault … Even I, the Patriarch of the Ouyang Clan, didn't expect that Ouyang Shan would be so daring. He actually dared to covet Young Master Duan and even tried to kill you."
Ouyang Ba looked at Duan Lingtian and said apologetically.
When he reached the end of his sentence, he pretended to rejoice. "Fortunately, Young Master Duan is blessed by God, and Ouyang Shan has been killed as well. It's a happy ending for everyone."
"A happy ending for everyone?"
Duan Lingtian smirked and looked at Ouyang Ba meaningfully, causing Ouyang Ba to feel guilty.
"However, no matter what, Ouyang Shan is still our Ouyang Clan's Second Elder. Although he's dead, our Ouyang Clan still has to bear the main responsibility for this matter. Although our Ouyang Clan can't take out a Three-Star offensive Dao Talisman, we're willing to take out other things as compensation."
Besides, we're willing to pay more to help you get over your shock, Young Master Duan. "
As the current Clan Leader of Ouyang Clan, Ouyang Ba was, naturally, a shrewd person.
When he saw that his son was alive and well, he could vaguely guess Duan Lingtian and Dong Hui's intention.
They wanted to extort a sum of money from the Ouyang Clan and make them bleed.
Therefore, before Duan Lingtian could speak, he took the initiative to bring it up.
As for Ouyang Qing, he did not say anything more because he knew there was no need to do so now.
"Clan Leader Ouyang is a straightforward person indeed! Since Clan Leader Ouyang is so straightforward, it's only natural that I won't keep harping on this matter … You can take Ouyang Qing away. However, I hope Clan Leader Ouyang can show some sincerity in certain matters. Otherwise, this matter might not end just like that. "
Although Duan Lingtian was surprised by Ouyang Ba's tact, he did not plan to harp on this matter since he had achieved his goal.
However, he still warned Ouyang Ba.
What he meant was, he did not want Ouyang Ba to brush him off with some deceptive things.
"Definitely! Definitely! "
Hearing Duan Lingtian's words, Ouyang Ba broke out in a cold sweat. He really did have the thought of giving Duan Lingtian something not too valuable.
But now, it seemed that it was impossible.
He could not afford to offend Duan Lingtian, nor could he afford to offend the entire Ouyang Family behind him.
"Three days later, Senior Brother Hui and I will pay you a visit … At that time, I hope Clan Leader Ouyang can prepare your 'sincerity'. Personally, I'm also very interested in things that ordinary people can't recognize. "
Duan Lingtian looked deeply at Ouyang Ba and said.
As for the last sentence, it was for the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda. Perhaps there were some unknown materials in the Ouyang Family's collection that were needed to repair the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.
Although the third level of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda had been repaired, Duan Lingtian was not satisfied at all.
The Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda had a total of seven levels. Even if the third level was repaired, it was not even half of the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda.
"Don't worry, Young Master Duan. I'll definitely satisfy you."
Although his heart was bleeding, Ouyang Ba still forced a smile in response to Duan Lingtian. After bidding farewell to Duan Lingtian and Dong Hui, he left with Ouyang Qing.
When they were leaving, Ouyang Qing, who had just survived a disaster, had excitement in his eyes. He followed behind Ouyang Ba obediently without saying a word.
At the end of the day, he was the one who caused this disaster, and he was very guilty.
"Father, scold me if you want."
After leaving the Nine Sect Alliances' headquarters, Ouyang Qing was not used to Ouyang Ba's silence.
"I want to know the truth of the matter."
Ouyang Ba opened his mouth, but he did not have the intention to scold Ouyang Qing. His tone was terrifyingly calm.
When Ouyang Qing heard this, he did not dare to hide the truth. He told the whole story in detail.
When he mentioned that Ouyang Shan was killed, he noticed that his father's body trembled slightly. He quickly added, "I'm the one who killed Grandpa Shan. It's all my fault! It's all my fault! "
"Since you know that it's your fault, it means that you're not hopeless yet … The Second Elder was killed because of you this time. Not only you, even I feel guilty toward him!"
Ouyang Ba said nonchalantly.
"Yes, I feel guilty toward Grandpa Shan."
Ouyang Qing nodded immediately, not daring to refute.
"After we go back this time, I plan to send you to the Nether Ridge."
Ouyang Ba's eyes flashed. The last trace of hesitation in his eyes disappeared and was replaced by determination.
"Nether Ridge?"
Upon hearing Ouyang Ba's words, Ouyang Qing, who appeared to be very obedient, had a change of expression in an instant. He roared, "No! Father, I'm not going to the Nether Ridge! Father, you can't do this! I'm your only son! "
Ouyang Ba's face was cold when he heard Ouyang Qing's words.
Only son?
Perhaps he was in the past.
Some time ago, his concubine outside gave birth to an illegitimate son for him.
In the entire Ouyang Clan, only he and his confidants knew about this.
The reason he did not spread the news was that he was worried that Ouyang Qing would harm his son. Due to Ouyang Qing's existence, the entire Ouyang Clan would reject his illegitimate son.
Although he was happy when the illegitimate son was born, he had never thought of bringing him into the Ouyang Clan.
He was determined to pass the Ouyang Clan to Ouyang Qing.
However, Ouyang Qing's performance this time had disappointed him. As a result, he made the decision to send Ouyang Qing to the Nether Ridge.
If Ouyang Qing never returned, he could only say that he was unlucky.
At that time, he would bring his illegitimate son back to the Ouyang Clan and train him to be his successor.
"Father, I'll die! Since ancient times, none of the people from the Ouyang Clan who entered the Nether Ridge came out alive. "
Ouyang Qing kept roaring as if he would rather die than go to the Nether Ridge.
"You're wrong. Someone from the Ouyang Clan came out alive from the Nether Ridge."
Ouyang Ba said nonchalantly.
"But that was tens of thousands of years ago. Moreover, he's the only exception in the Ouyang Clan. In the past tens of thousands of years, there were at least 8,000 people from the Ouyang Clan who went to the Nether Ridge, but none of them came out alive."
Ouyang Qing's face was filled with terror. The moment his words left his mouth, he glanced at Ouyang Ba vigilantly. His body moved and he wanted to escape.
However, how could he escape from Ouyang Ba's hands?
Ouyang Ba stopped Ouyang Qing effortlessly. "I've already decided on this matter … You don't have to be too negative. The elder from our Ouyang Clan who came out of the Nether Ridge tens of thousands of years ago is the same as you. He's also a direct descendant of our Ouyang Clan."
"Therefore, your hope is still very high … After all, the place in the Nether Ridge is said to be related to the first Clan Leader of the Ouyang Clan. Perhaps, he'll favor a lineal disciple like you more."
Ouyang Ba said.
"Moreover, if you can walk out of there, in time, let alone that Duan Lingtian, even the Moon Illumination Sect and the entire Nine Sect Alliances won't be in your eyes! When the senior in our Ouyang Clan was at his peak, even the Saint Stage powerhouses from sixth-rated forces were no match for him! "
"If it wasn't for the fact that he had offended a big shot from a fifth-rated force, he wouldn't have died … And our Ouyang Clan wouldn't have collapsed from this setback."
Ouyang Ba's face was filled with excitement when he began to speak. However, he could not help but sigh when he reached the end.
"Qing 'er, I really think that you'll be the second lineal disciple of the Ouyang Clan to come out of the Nether Ridge."
Ouyang Ba said to Ouyang Qing.
"Father, don't think that I don't know that most of the Ouyang Clan's disciples who entered the Nether Ridge were lineal disciples … But what happened to them? Their Soul Pearls shattered in less than three months after they entered, "Ouyang Qing said with fear in his eyes.
Ouyang Qing exclaimed in horror. His body struggled continuously, trying to break free from Ouyang Ba's restraints.
In the end, Ouyang Ba could only knock him out.
"Qing 'er, don't blame me. You can only blame yourself for the huge trouble you've caused this time … I'm not the only one who won't believe what you said at the Nine Sect Alliances' headquarters. Even the elders in the clan won't believe it. I must give them an explanation for this matter! "
Ouyang Ba sighed when he reached the end of his mumbling.
Although he could let Ouyang Qing go, he did not doubt that he would be dismissed by the elders in the clan as soon as Ouyang Qing left.
There was a rule in the Ouyang Clan. Once the Clan Leader made a huge mistake, his lineage's privilege to inherit the Clan Leader's position would be taken away.
In the Ouyang Clan, there were many elders who were lineal disciples like him but did not come from the same lineage. They were waiting for him to make a mistake so that they could dismiss him and let their lineage have the priority to inherit the Clan Leader's position.
In order to protect his lineage's privilege, Ouyang Ba had made up his mind and made such a choice.
Such a choice not only made the elders speechless, but it also gave his son, Ouyang Qing, a glimmer of hope.
Although the hope was very slim, and even he did not think that Ouyang Qing would survive …
At least it was better than dying in the Nine Sect Alliances' headquarters.
"The Nether Ridge …"
When Ouyang Ba thought about the Perilous Place that was passed down in the Ouyang Clan since ancient times, his heart could not help but tremble.
The Nether Ridge was rumored to be related to their Ouyang Clan's ancestors.
All along, there had been a legend in the Ouyang Clan that said any Ouyang Clan's disciple who could walk out of the Nether Ridge would definitely become a top powerhouse.
In the beginning, because no Ouyang Clan's disciple could walk out of that place alive, nobody believed in the legend anymore.
