"Your family is pretty rich."
Jiang Chen couldn't help but exclaim. Putting everything else aside, the daily fee they collected to enter the city was already a terrifying figure. Even if they only collected one Human Elixir per person, it was still a terrifying amount.
As one of the most luxurious cities in the Southern Continent, Nangong City was always crowded with people. The cultivators who were able to stay in Nangong City were all people with powerful backgrounds. It was extremely difficult for ordinary people to have a place in Nangong City.
The existence of the Nangong Family had made Jiang Chen a local tyrant. A big family like this would never lack resources, as they were powerful, and as the ruler of this area, they had the final say.
"Of course, no one dares to enter the city without paying the fee. Let's go, we'll talk after we get home."
Nangong Wentian increased his speed, and the three of them sprinted on the main road of Nangong City like three rays of light. Wherever they passed, a strong gust of wind would be generated. Many people could only feel a strong gust of wind, causing them to lose their balance. Vaguely, they could see a few figures flashing past, but they couldn't even catch a glimpse of them.
The Nangong Family was located in the center of Nangong City. It was a huge manor with a circumference of over a hundred miles. The Nangong Family's manor alone took up a tenth of the entire Nangong City.
Inside the Nangong Family, there was a magnificent palace, which gave off a luxurious and noble atmosphere. This was the forbidden area of Nangong City, where ordinary people were not allowed to enter.
However, at this moment, the atmosphere in the biggest manor in Nangong City was a bit gloomy, as the Nangong Family was no longer the same as before. After Nangong Yunzheng separated them, not only did the Nangong Family's overall power decline, they were also constantly having internal conflicts. The recent internal conflict was related to the life and death of the Nangong Family.
The news about the duel between Nangong Yunzheng and the Nangong Family was already known to the public. Currently, everyone in the Nangong Family was not in a good mood. They were all waiting for the return of their young master, as he was the most important part of the duel.
"Sigh! Where did the young master go? It's been so long since he came back. "
"That's right! The duel is coming soon, and if the young master doesn't come back in time, Nangong Yunzheng will have a legitimate reason to take over the position of the Clan Chief."
"I don't think it's possible even if he comes back! I'm afraid our Nangong family is in real danger this time! Nangong Wenyen has broken through to the Combat Soul realm, and only if our young family chief breaks through to the Combat Soul realm will we have a chance of fighting him!"
…
Everyone in the Nangong family was talking about their Young Master, Nangong Wentian. Many of them still didn't know that the Profound River Palace was involved in this matter. However, Nangong Yunzheng had caused such a huge commotion, and it was obvious that he came prepared. He was determined to win, and this caused many people to worry about the future of the Nangong family.
"Look, it looks like the Young Clan Head is back."
Someone suddenly cried out. Many people raised their heads and looked into the sky above the Nangong family. They saw three figures flying across the sky toward the Nangong family's main palace. One of them was Nangong Wenyang, and everyone was familiar with him. The young man standing in the middle wore green clothes, and he looked ferocious and handsome. Although he had left the Nangong family for quite some time, everyone could still recognize him; he was the young master who they had been waiting for.
"It really is the Young Clan Chief, he came back just in time! Who is that young man in white clothes next to him? Why haven't I seen him before? "
"I'm sure he is a friend of the Young Clan Chief, but it looks like his cultivation is just ordinary."
"That's right, but it seems like the Young Clan Chief is only at the Peak Divine Core realm, he hasn't broken through to the Combat Soul realm yet. There are only fourteen days left until the duel, and if the Young Clan Chief can't break through to the Combat Soul realm within this period of time, he won't be a match for Nangong Wenyen."
"But, breaking through to the Combat Soul realm in just a dozen days? Sigh, I don't think there's any hope for him to do so."
… …
Nangong Wentian's return had lifted many people's spirits. However, Nangong Wentian's cultivation and combat strength had made many people feel discouraged. Although they had expected this, they still couldn't help but feel disappointed when they saw it for themselves. Many people had lost all hope for the duel in fourteen days.
Nangong Wentian arrived at the Nangong family's main palace without any obstructions. Right now, there were dozens of men gathered in the main palace, and all of them were mighty warriors of the Nangong family. The weakest among them was an Early Combat Soul warrior.
"Dad, I'm back!"
After Nangong Wentian walked into the main palace, he immediately called out to the muscular middle aged man who was sitting in front of the main palace. This middle aged man looked to be in his forties, and he was wearing embroidered clothes. His thick hair was messy, and his eyes were extremely sharp, just like a pair of blades. His face looked as if it had been carved by a blade, and he gave off a domineering aura.
This domineering middle aged man was none other than the current Family Chief of the Nangong family, Nangong Yunfan.
"Wentian, you're finally back!"
A happy expression emerged on Nangong Yunfan's face when he saw his son. All the other men felt relieved as well. No matter what, his son was finally back.
"Wentian, this is the most important place in the Nangong family, how could you just bring someone here?"
Right at this moment, an old Mid Combat Soul warrior said. This old man looked to be in his seventies or eighties, and he looked skinny and weak. However, the aura he was unleashing was extremely frightening. His name was Liang Zhui, an old man who had followed Nangong Yunfan to conquer the world. Although his surname wasn't Nangong, he had a very high status in the Nangong family, and even Nangong Yunfan had to give him some face.
"Dad, all the uncles and elders, let me introduce you. This is a brother I made while I was away, his name is Jiang Chen. He came here to help the Nangong family."
Nangong Wentian introduced Jiang Chen.
"Help our Nangong family? Wentian, are you kidding me? Grandpa Tu knows that you've always liked to joke around. "
Another old man said with a teasing tone. He had white hair and a white beard, and he looked like a noble as he sat there. His seat was the same as Nangong Yunfan's, and it was obvious that he had a high status in the family. Furthermore, this old man had a very strong cultivation base, he was a Late Combat Soul warrior.
"His name is Tu Yi, and his nickname is the Thousand Hand Butcher. He is an old man who followed my grandpa to conquer the world, and he has a very important position in the Nangong family."
Nangong Wentian told Jiang Chen the old man's identity through his Divine Sense.
Jiang Chen nodded his head. Although this man's surname wasn't Nangong, just like what Nangong Wentian said, he had a very high status in the family.
"Wentian, you asked a Divine Core junior to help you, don't you think it's a little too childish? There are so many people like him in the Nangong family."
The old man, Liang Zhui, said with a hint of mockery in his tone. Not only him, the other people on the scene also had a smile on their faces. Obviously, they felt that Nangong Wentian's helper was a joke.
Seeing this, Jiang Chen couldn't help but let out a sigh. He had just arrived at the Nangong family, and he had immediately become the center of attention. These old men were really something. Their young master had just returned, so they should at least ask him about how he was doing in the outside world. Why did they have to point their finger at an outsider like him?
"Family Chief, Elders, please don't look down on brother Jiang Chen. If not for brother Jiang Chen, brother Wentian and I would be dead by now."
Nangong Wenyang quickly said. Jiang Chen had saved his life, so he had to speak up for Jiang Chen. Furthermore, Jiang Chen really did have some abilities, and his reputation wasn't undeserved.
"What happened?"
Nangong Yunfan's expression changed, and he looked at Nangong Wenyang.
"Family Chief, I'm sure you remember that there are two men working for eldest uncle, their names are Zhang Feng and Li Gai. After I picked up brother Wentian, I was on my way back, but I didn't expect to be intercepted by these two men. They were sent by eldest uncle to assassinate brother Wentian in secret. As long as brother Wentian is dead, we can even skip the duel."
Nangong Wenyang dared not hide anything, so he told Nangong Wenyang everything he knew.
"What?!"
At this moment, everyone in the palace cried out in shock.
"Shameless, this Nangong Yunzheng is too shameless! We are all from the Nangong family, but he still resorted to such a despicable method!"
"What a bastard, the duel has already been decided, but he still resorted to such a despicable method! If Wentian is dead, we will have to choose a new young master, and only Nangong Wenyen will have the right to be the next young master! What a vicious scheme!"
"Looks like we were too careless, we should have sent some powerful warriors to find Wentian, but I never expected Nangong Yunzheng to resort to such a despicable method."
… …
Everyone in the palace were filled with anger. Everyone felt that Nangong Yunzheng's actions were shameless. The duel had already been decided, but he still resorted to such a despicable method.
"What happened after that?"
Nangong Yunfan continued asking. He threw his glance at Jiang Chen, as if he had already figured out what was going on.
"It was brother Jiang Chen who killed Zhang Feng and Li Gai, and that's how he saved brother Wentian and me."
Nangong Wenyang honestly said.
"You said he killed two Early Combat Soul warriors with just a Late Divine Core cultivation base?"
Liang Zhui's eyes lit up. Not only him, the way everyone in the palace looked at Jiang Chen had changed. Killing two Combat Soul warriors with just a Divine Core cultivation base, this was something he could be proud of no matter where he went. After all, it wasn't defeating them, it was killing them.
After breaking through to the Combat Soul realm, even if one couldn't defeat an opponent, it would be extremely easy for them to escape. However, Zhang Feng and Li Gai didn't even have the chance to escape, and were killed by a Divine Core junior. This didn't mean that they were weak, it just meant that this young man in front of them was too strong.
Nangong Yunfan waved his sleeve, then three spacious chairs immediately appeared and were placed side by side in the palace.
"Nephew Jiang Chen, please have a seat."
Nangong Yunfan extended his hand toward Jiang Chen. Being able to be given a seat by the Family Chief in the central palace was a great honor in itself.
