Nangong Yunfan's voice was very loud, so everyone on the scene could hear him clearly. It also let those who were not powerful enough to know that the Nangong family actually had such a treasure hidden away. In other words, the reason why the Nangong family was able to rise so quickly in the past hundred years was because of this treasure.
At this moment, many of the younger generation who had once obtained the Nine Solar Holy Water realized that the source of their Nine Solar Holy Water was actually this broken sword.
"Nangong Yunfan, do you know what you're saying? This is the treasure left behind by father, it's the foundation of our Nangong family! If it's taken away by someone else, how will our Nangong family survive in the Southern Continent?"
Nangong Yunzheng said with a loud voice. He had schemed and plotted all of this for the sake of becoming the family chief. In order to obtain that treasure, he even told the Profound River Palace about the treasure, so that he could get their help and ask their Holy Maiden to help him. However, he never expected that it would be ruined by a young man who came out of nowhere. Not only did he ruin his plan, he even wanted to take away the treasure. How could he accept this?
"Hmph! Elder brother, don't be so stubborn! This is the rule left behind by father, and only the family chief can know about it. I don't mind telling you this; I've seen this magical broken sword with my own eyes, and Jiang Chen is the fated person. As the family chief of the Nangong family, I have the right to decide whether this broken sword will stay or not, and I have to follow the rule left behind by father. "
Nangong Yunfan coldly harrumphed, then he cupped his fist toward Jiang Chen and said with a clear voice, "Nephew Jiang Chen, this treasure has finally found its home. Even without this treasure, our Nangong family can still stand tall in the Southern Continent in the future."
"Don't worry, uncle. I, Jiang Chen, will definitely make up for the loss of our Nangong family."
Jiang Chen stood on the fighting stage and bowed toward Nangong Yunfan. Taking away someone else's foundation was indeed immoral, but Jiang Chen had no other choice when it came to the Heavenly Saint Sword. As for the loss of the Nangong family, he would find a way to make it up for it. He would never let the Nangong family fall into decline because of losing this treasure.
"Bullshit! You want to make up for it? What can you do to make up for the loss of our Nangong family?!"
Nangong Yunzheng's eyes had turned red, and he roared at Jiang Chen with a loud voice. Today's result had thrown him into chaos, and all his plans had been ruined. In the future, he would no longer be able to fight for the position of the family chief.
"Noisy!"
Jiang Chen's expression turned cold. With a sway of his body, he turned into a trail of light and appeared in front of Nangong Yunzheng in the blink of an eye. The cold tip of the Heavenly Saint Sword was pressed against Nangong Yunzheng's neck, and the razor-sharp sword beam had pierced through Nangong Yunzheng's skin, causing blood to flow out from the tip of the sword.
Gasp!
Nangong Yunzheng gasped. Only now did he regain his composure. The shock in his mind had reached an extreme level. This young man's strength had actually reached such a level! Even with his Late Combat Soul cultivation base, he couldn't react in time. Sensing the cold sword in front of his neck, Nangong Yunzheng had no doubt that if this young man wanted to, his head would have already been separated from his body. In other words, he couldn't even withstand a single strike from this young man. What could he use to fight a man like this?
"Say one more word, and I'll kill you."
Jiang Chen slowly put away the Heavenly Saint Sword. His tone was extremely cold. Nangong Yunzheng felt his throat becoming dry. He wanted to say something, but he didn't have the courage to do so. He believed that this young man in front of him wasn't joking with him. That pair of cold eyes made it seem like they came from the depths of hell. The killing intent unleashed from this young man's body simply belonged to someone who had killed countless people. Nangong Yunzheng had no doubt that if he said one more word, this young man would immediately kill him.
On the other side, including Nangong Yunfan and Tu Yi, everyone couldn't help but feel their hearts trembling. Only now did they realize how ridiculous they had underestimated this young man. He was simply a peerless genius, and if Jiang Chen wanted to, he could take the broken sword and leave at any time he wanted. Who could stop him?
"Jiang Chen, I'll be back for you."
After saying that, Wu Ningzhu disappeared from the sky above the Nangong family. For her, today's mission was considered a failure, and she didn't want to get involved in the Nangong family's internal affairs. Of course, the conflict between her and Jiang Chen was far from over. Ever since Jiang Chen unveiled her veil, the conflict between the two of them was destined to never end.
Looking at the black figure disappearing into the distance, Jiang Chen couldn't help but let out a long sigh, "Damn it, why did he remove her veil? But, who cares, daddy will be leaving soon, and I don't think I'll ever have the chance to come to the Southern Continent again. Let the Profound River Palace and Demon King Palace do whatever they want."
Jiang Chen thought to himself. Now that he had solved the problem with the Nangong family, he needed to return to the Eastern Continent as soon as possible. It was easy for him to come here from the Eastern Continent, as he could just use the Island of Ice's Teleportation Formation. However, it wasn't so easy to go back. If Jiang Chen wanted to use the Teleportation Formation, he would have to find the Island of Ice. The Island of Ice was located deep within the ocean, and it was too far away from here. Therefore, Jiang Chen could only rely on his own speed for this return trip.
However, for Jiang Chen, his trip to the Southern Continent had brought him a huge harvest. Not only had he broken through to the Combat Soul realm, he had also obtained the third piece of the Heavenly Saint Sword.
"Let's go."
Nangong Yunzheng waved his sleeves, then he brought his men and started walking toward the exit of the Nangong family. Since Wu Ningzhu had left, there was no point for them to stay here any longer. Besides, there was a peerless genius here, and if they continued to stay here, they would be the ones suffering the most.
Within the Nangong family's main hall, Jiang Chen and Nangong Yunzheng were sitting at the head of the hall. In this world where strength was everything, as long as you had the strength, it would mean that you had the status, and you would be respected by everyone.
"It's all thanks to nephew Jiang Chen's help today. If it wasn't for you, the Nangong family would have been in great danger."
Nangong Yunfan once again expressed his gratitude toward Jiang Chen, but he didn't mention anything about the broken sword. Nangong Yunfan was a smart man, he knew that he would never be able to get the broken sword back. Also, with the teachings left behind by the old man, he didn't mind losing the precious sword.
Besides, he knew how great Jiang Chen's potential was, and it would only benefit the Nangong family if they could form a good relationship with a man like Jiang Chen. Even if they couldn't form a good relationship with Jiang Chen, they couldn't afford to make an enemy out of a man like Jiang Chen.
"Brother Nan's matter is my matter, please don't take it to heart, uncle."
Jiang Chen said with a smile on his face.
Hearing the words' don't take it to heart ', the others couldn't help but twitch their mouths. You've taken away the most important thing of the Nangong family, and now you're telling me not to take it to heart? Can you be any more shameless than this?
How could Jiang Chen not know what the others were thinking? Actually, he didn't plan to take the broken sword with him. At least, he wanted to leave some benefits for the Nangong family.
Jiang Chen flipped his palm and took out a milky white jade bottle. An extremely masculine aura immediately came out from the bottle, causing everyone to feel refreshed.
"What is this? Nine Solar Holy Water! "
Liang Zhui was the first to exclaim. Everyone present was a high-ranking member of the Nangong Family. Over the years, they had all benefited from the Nine Solar Holy Water. Therefore, they were all too familiar with the aura of the Nine Solar Holy Water. The aura coming from the bottle was none other than the aura of the Nine Solar Holy Water.
"Nephew Jiang Chen, this is?"
Nangong Yunfan looked at Jiang Chen.
"That's right, this is a bottle of Nine Solar Holy Water. If we calculate the amount of Nine Solar Holy Water that flowed out from the broken sword in the Profound Sun Grand Formation, this bottle of Nine Solar Holy Water is equivalent to the amount of Nine Solar Holy Water that flowed out from the broken sword in the past one hundred years. Please accept it as compensation for the loss of the Nangong family."
Jiang Chen handed the bottle over to Nangong Yunfan.
"What? A bottle full of Nine Solar Holy Water? "
Tu Yi cried out in shock. Everyone else had their eyes wide open and were no longer able to keep their calm. They had no idea how Jiang Chen did it, but the amount of Nine Solar Holy Water that flowed out from the broken sword was equivalent to the amount of Nine Solar Holy Water that flowed out from the Nangong family in the past one hundred years. This caused everyone's attitude towards Jiang Chen to change once again. Not only did they no longer feel dissatisfied, they even felt grateful towards Jiang Chen.
The reason why the Nangong family hid that treasure was because they wanted to produce Nine Solar Holy Water. Now that they had a hundred years' worth of Nine Solar Holy Water, it no longer made any sense for them to keep that treasure.
As for Jiang Chen, although it was a bit strenuous for him to produce so much Nine Solar Holy Water, it was still an easy task. This third fragment of the Heavenly Saint Sword was the one that he had created using the Nine Solar Energies in his previous life. It had the ability to absorb the Sun Qi and transform it into Nine Solar Holy Water. Now that it was in Jiang Chen's hands, for someone like Jiang Chen who had mastered the Nine Solar Energies, producing some Nine Solar Holy Water was just a matter of consuming his energy.
After Jiang Chen obtained the broken sword, he immediately started producing Nine Solar Holy Water. Once he had enough Nine Solar Holy Water, he would be able to take the broken sword with him without any worries.
"Nephew Jiang Chen's kindness to our Nangong family will never be forgotten."
Nangong Yunfan stood up and bowed towards Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen was slightly startled, he immediately took a step forward and bowed towards Nangong Yunfan. If it was someone else, he would be able to accept such a bow. However, the person in front of him was Nangong Wentian's father. For the sake of Nangong Wentian's face, he couldn't accept such a bow. Furthermore, if this person wasn't Nangong Wentian's father, Jiang Chen would be able to take the broken sword and leave with a clear conscience. There would be no need for him to waste so much effort to leave behind Nine Solar Holy Water.
"Uncle, you don't have to be so polite. Nan and I are brothers who have gone through life and death together. The reason I came here was to help the Nangong family get out of this crisis. Now that the Nangong family's problem has been solved, I won't disturb you any longer. I'm going to leave immediately."
Jiang Chen said.
