A thick red light flashed in the Heaven Dao Pavilion elder's palm. Under the immense pressure, one could tell that he did not hold back.
Just as the elder of the Heaven Dao Pavilion rushed over, another figure dashed out from behind Nangong Hao and blocked his way at an even faster speed.
Bam! A dull sound rang out, accompanied by a violent shockwave that spread wildly in all directions, causing the surrounding disciples to feel a stinging sensation on their faces.
On the other hand, the Heaven Dao Pavilion elder who was charging over retreated rapidly. His face was filled with disbelief because he was actually defeated by this palm strike.
"Nangong Tian!"
"Nangong Tian is also a Sage!"
"And he's even more powerful than the elder of the Heaven Dao Pavilion?!"
All the disciples widened their eyes when they saw the figure blocking Nangong Hao's way. In fact, they had already guessed that Nangong Tian was a Sage when the Nangong Nobles appeared.
However …
They didn't expect Nangong Tian to be so powerful that he could easily suppress the elder of the Heaven Dao Pavilion.
"Why, is the Heaven Dao Pavilion trying to bully us?" Nangong Tian's expression was calm. He didn't even look at the elder of the Heaven Dao Pavilion. He just stood there quietly.
"You …" The elder of the Heaven Dao Pavilion wanted to attack again, but he swallowed his words when he saw Mu Qingfeng's gaze.
"Head of the Nangong family, you've really hidden your strength well." Mu Qingfeng squinted his eyes and stared at Nangong Tian coldly.
"Haha, Pavilion Leader, you're flattering me." Nangong Tian chuckled and looked around. "Pavilion Leader Mu was the one who called for the Heaven Alliance Meeting this time. Are you trying to bully the Nangong Nobles because we don't have anyone else?"
"Head of the Nangong family, aren't you a little too much?"
"Didn't the Heaven Dao Pavilion try to kill my Hao 'er because they lost the Martial Arts Competition?" Nangong Tian laughed coldly.
"You …"
"How dare you!"
"A few months ago, Nangong Hao committed evil deeds in the Heaven Dao Pavilion, and he's also a disciple of the Heaven Dao Pavilion. How can we not do anything about it?"
When the other elders of the Heaven Dao Pavilion heard this, they could no longer hold it in. One by one, they stood up and exuded a powerful aura.
"Haha, it seems like the Heaven Dao Pavilion really has such a plan. However, the Nangong Nobles aren't afraid!" Nangong Tian laughed coldly and waved his hand. Then, a dozen figures behind him stepped forward.
When the surrounding disciples saw this scene, they looked at each other and took a step back. No one said a word.
"Is the World Alliance Meeting going to turn into a chaotic battle?" Dao Hun's voice was heard as he looked around under his mask.
"Elders, please step back." Mu Qingfeng frowned and waved his hand at the Heaven Dao Pavilion elders beside him. Then, he looked at Nangong Tian and said, "Head of Nangong family, have you made up your mind to let Nangong Hao participate in the third round of the competition?"
"Of course." Nangong Tian nodded.
"Head of the Nangong Family, if you want Nangong Hao to participate in the battle, do you know that even though Nangong Hao is the legitimate son of the Nangong Nobles, he is considered a disciple of the Heaven Dao Pavilion?"
He could naturally tell why Nangong Tian called Nangong Hao out. He wanted to take advantage of the fact that all the sects and empires were gathered in the Heaven Alliance Meeting, so he couldn't act directly.
However, because he knew this, he couldn't agree to let Nangong Hao participate in the battle.
"So, the Heaven Dao Pavilion is afraid of me, and you want me to represent the Heaven Dao Pavilion?" Nangong Tian smiled and asked a question instead of answering his question.
"The Heaven Dao Pavilion's rule has always been that the interests of the sect come before the family. Head of Nangong family, don't you know that?" Mu Qingfeng clenched his fists.
How could he not tell that Nangong Tian was trying to provoke him? However, even so, Nangong Tian's words still made him feel a sense of anger.
However, given the current situation …
He had no choice but to tolerate it.
"The Heaven Dao Pavilion is really shameless!" Nangong Tian smiled again and said, "If that's the case, so what if I leave the Heaven Dao Pavilion?"
"Head of Nangong family, have you thought it through? The Heaven Dao Pavilion has its own rules. If I want to leave … I naturally have my own rules! "Mu Qingfeng said again.
"Is the Heaven Dao Pavilion afraid?"
"Rules are rules. What does it have to do with fear?" Mu Qingfeng was very experienced. As the Pavilion Master of one of the Five Sects of the Holy Region, his tolerance was naturally unmatched.
"Interesting! It seems like … "
"Father, this happened because of me, so let me settle it." Nangong Hao finally spoke again and interrupted Nangong Tian. Then, he slowly walked towards Nangong Tian.
"Hao 'er, this battle concerns …"
"I understand."
"Alright, since that's the case, I'll leave it to you." Nangong Tian nodded. Without saying anything else, he returned to his original seat and sat down again.
Mu Qingfeng frowned and looked at Nangong Tian, then at Nangong Hao. Finally, he looked at Chi Guyan helplessly.
As the Pavilion Master of one of the Five Sects of the Holy Region, he had never been in such a state. However, given the current situation, he had no choice.
That was because he knew very well that if Nangong Hao participated in the battle …
The Heaven Dao Pavilion would definitely lose this battle!
After seeing Nangong Tian step back, Nangong Hao took another step forward. He looked around and finally fixed his gaze on Mu Qingfeng.
"Master, are you wondering why I'm still alive?" Nangong Hao said calmly, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.
Mu Qingfeng didn't say anything, which meant that he agreed. After all, even he couldn't figure out why Nangong Hao was still alive.
"Master, you should know that I was the one who used the Blood Offering Illustration. Therefore, I naturally have a way to counter it. Are you satisfied with my answer?" Nangong Hao paused for a moment before speaking again.
Mu Qingfeng still didn't say anything and just looked at Nangong Hao quietly.
Meanwhile, the surrounding disciples were all confused. They knew that something huge happened in the Heaven Dao Pavilion a few months ago. Nangong Hao and the former Leader of the Nine Pinnacles Mountain, Tian Xing, went missing at the same time.
However, what exactly happened …
They didn't know.
"Blood Offering Illustration? What's that? "
"I don't know."
"I'm not sure either."
The disciples shook their heads.
After waiting for a moment, Nangong Hao spoke again, "Master, you mentioned that I'm still a disciple of the Heaven Dao Pavilion. According to the rules of the Heaven Dao Pavilion, the interests of the sect are more important than the family. Therefore, can I ask if the Heaven Dao Pavilion wants me to participate in the third round?"
"What are you trying to say?" Mu Qingfeng finally spoke.
"If you want me to represent the Heaven Dao Pavilion in the third round, I can't reject you for the sake of the reputation of the sect. However, if you don't want me to participate, I can't do anything for the reputation of the sect. Therefore, as the eldest son of the Nangong Family, I have the right to fight for the honor of the family." Nangong Hao continued.
"I see." Mu Qingfeng understood what Nangong Hao was trying to say.
If the Heaven Dao Pavilion sent Nangong Hao to participate, the outcome would be obvious. Nangong Hao would lose the competition and the Nangong Family would win.
On the other hand …
Nangong Hao could represent the Nangong Family. Even the strict rules of the Heaven Dao Pavilion couldn't stop him from doing so.
"Now, I would like to ask if I need to represent the Heaven Dao Pavilion in the third round?" Nangong Hao bowed to Mu Qingfeng after he finished speaking.
"There's no need for that. After this bow, whatever you do has nothing to do with the Heaven Dao Pavilion!" Mu Qingfeng said after Nangong Hao bowed to him.
"Thank you, master, for teaching me." Nangong Hao nodded his head and bowed to Mu Qingfeng again.
When the surrounding disciples saw this, all of them fell silent.
Nangong Hao's solution was very peaceful. However, this peacefulness revealed the simplest and most tyrannical method.
"The former number one genius of the Great Xia Dynasty!"
"What are they doing?"
"Isn't the Nangong Family worried that the Heaven Dao Pavilion will take revenge on them for what they did in the Heaven Alliance Meeting?"
The surrounding disciples couldn't understand. After all, it wasn't wise to go against the Heaven Dao Pavilion. They didn't want to leave a way out.
"Guyan, come back." Mu Qingfeng didn't say anything else. Since things had come to this, even he couldn't stop them anymore.
"Master, there's no need." Chi Guyan shook her head and slowly raised her sword. However, her hand that was holding the sword was trembling slightly.
"Guyan …"
"Master, don't worry!"
Mu Qingfeng still wanted to say something, but Chi Guyan had already spoken. Her eyes, which were shining with five-colored radiance, were filled with an unusual determination.
On the other hand, the surrounding disciples were silent.
They could clearly see Chi Guyan's condition. Chi Guyan had barely won the battle against Nangong Mu.
Under such circumstances …
Fight again?
No one thought that Chi Guyan had a chance of winning.
However, the determination in Chi Guyan's eyes shocked them. That was because it came from the bottom of her heart.
"You're no match for me now." Nangong Hao said. He looked at Chi Guyan and shook his head.
"How would I know if I don't try?" Chi Guyan said calmly.
"Is it worth it just for the Heaven Dao Pavilion?" Nangong Hao's eyes flashed with a blood-red radiance.
"There are some things that someone has to do even if they know it's impossible." Chi Guyan shook her head gently. Then, she walked into the arena step by step. The shadow behind her was obviously trembling and flickering non-stop. It looked like it was going to disappear at any time.
"I understand." Nangong Hao did not continue speaking. Instead, he slowly walked towards the center of the arena and soon arrived in front of Chi Guyan.
Ping Yang, who was outside the arena, clenched her fists tightly. Her clear eyes were filled with intense anger.
"Nangong Hao knows that Sister Yan is exhausted, but he still wants to take advantage of her. How despicable!" A crimson radiance flowed around Ping Yang's body as she spoke.
"Yang 'er, what would you do if you fought against Nangong Hao?" Qian Yu opened her eyes slowly and glanced at Nangong Hao, then at Chi Guyan, before speaking.
"I'd beat him up, of course!" Ping Yang answered without hesitation.
"What if he's much more powerful than you?"
"How is that possible? I know how powerful Nangong Hao is. He's at the peak of the Rebirth State, even if …"
"I'm talking about if." Qian Yu interrupted Ping Yang and looked at Ping Yang quietly. Her expression was filled with unconcealable love and concern.
"I'd still beat him up!" Ping Yang said fiercely.
"What if I ask you to give up?" Qian Yu continued to ask.
"Give up?" Ping Yang couldn't understand.
"Yes, give up."
"Why does mother want me to give up?"
"You'll know … soon enough." Qian Yu shook her head gently. She knew Ping Yang's character after interacting with her for a few days. She was stubborn, willful, and arrogant.
However, it was this character …
That was exactly the same as her.
The corners of Ping Yang's mouth twitched. She knew that Qian Yu was concerned about her, but how could she really give up?
Without saying anything else, Ping Yang turned to look at Chi Guyan and Nangong Hao again. A red radiance flickered in her clear eyes.
The mountain breeze blew past.
It blew away the white chilly air on the peak of the Heaven Zen Mountain, allowing the bright sunlight to shine on the two figures again.
Chi Guyan's body was stained with blood and she looked extremely exhausted. However, she didn't move anymore. Her body gradually calmed down and her hand that was holding onto her sword became steady again.
Meanwhile, Nangong Hao didn't move either. He stood on the spot quietly …
He didn't say anything or attack Chi Guyan immediately. It was as if he was waiting for Chi Guyan to recover, or rather, he was waiting for Chi Guyan to take the initiative to attack.
Time passed slowly.
Five minutes passed very quickly.
The shadow behind Chi Guyan finally solidified at this moment. A gigantic figure stood behind her. That beautiful face made people want to worship her, and they could not have any thoughts of blasphemy. Her black hair fell to her waist like a waterfall, gently swaying in the wind.
