Life began from one's parents and was bestowed by one's parents. This was an undeniable fact. In that case, was there anything more unbelievable than having one's life taken away by one's parents?
Blood spurted out from his chest like a fountain and stained Nangong Mu's chest completely red. The intense pain and the cold aura from the dagger caused his facial features to twist.
However, for some reason, Nangong Mu didn't seem to feel much pain from his body or the cold aura from the dagger.
That was because it was too insignificant compared to the pain and shock he felt in his heart.
"Mu 'er, I've let you down, I've let you down … If you want to hate me, then go ahead. I'll definitely repay what the Nangong family owes you in my next life!" Nangong Tian's eyes were filled with tears after he said that.
However, his two hands did not stop. Instead, they made a series of strange movements in front of him at an extremely fast speed. He also kept chanting obscure words, as if he was carrying out some kind of extremely ancient ritual.
Solemn and ancient.
However, there was a heavy sense of sorrow.
This scene happened too quickly and was too shocking. No one expected Nangong Tian to kill Nangong Mu at this moment.
Even a vicious tiger wouldn't eat its cubs!
Moreover, this was his biological son whom he had raised for 20 years and had successfully entered the Sage State!
The surrounding disciples were completely stunned by this scene. None of them could believe their eyes and none of them could believe that Nangong Tian would actually kill Nangong Mu.
Yan Yin was also stunned on the spot.
Because even he, a person who was known to possess the seal of the King Yama, couldn't imagine that such a thing could happen.
Cruel?
No!
Because this could no longer be described with the word 'cruel'. How cruel must a person's heart be to kill his own son?
Be it the surrounding disciples, Yan Yin or the disciples of the Five Sects of the Holy Region, all of them stared blankly at the shocking scene in front of them.
At this moment, a painful scream was heard. It was a pain that came from the heart, as if it wanted to tear the sky apart.
"Brother Mu!!!" As the voice was heard, a figure streaked across the sky and appeared in front of Nangong Tian almost instantly.
The bloody light spun around his body crazily. The transparent Wuwei Sword was stained with a thick bloody aura, and the tip of the sword was pointed at Nangong Tian's throat.
"Nangong Hao?!" Yan Yin's expression changed slightly. He couldn't hide the shock on his face when he saw the figure that bypassed him and appeared in front of Nangong Tian.
Although he was indeed shocked by Nangong Tian's actions and lost his sense of judgment, it didn't mean that he would have been able to stop Nangong Hao's creepy movements if he didn't have all these.
"Nangong Tian, die!" Obviously, Nangong Hao did not notice Yan Yin who was standing behind him. That was because his eyes were completely filled with blood-red light and had turned red.
"Hao 'er, are you going to kill your father? Haha … No, you won't kill me, because you know what your father is doing! " Nangong Tian looked at Nangong Hao and two streams of tears flowed down from the corner of his eyes. However, his hands didn't stop moving. They were still moving rapidly.
"Why? How can you be so cruel! "Nangong Hao's body was trembling. His hand that was holding onto the Wuwei Sword had already turned pale.
"You know why! If I didn't do that, would you have been willing to take the fruit of the Tree of God out of Mu 'er's body? "Nangong Tian's body was also trembling.
"No, that's not the plan. The plan was for me to swallow the fruit of the Tree of God after I came out. You said that you wouldn't let Brother Mu get involved in this. Why did you let him do it!"
"There's no time, it's too late. I don't know if you can come out. Even if there's a slight possibility, I have to prepare for the worst. I can't bet the fate of the Nangong family on you. I'm the master of the Nangong family, so I have to make the safest plan!"
"So, you can sacrifice Brother Mu's life and use him as a 'vessel'?!"
"Mu 'er was willing. If he wasn't willing, I wouldn't have forced him …"
"Nangong Tian, you're so cruel. How could you disregard your own son's life for the mission of the Nangong family? You're not worthy, you're not worthy to be Brother Mu's father!"
"Yes, I'm not worthy, but what about you? How many years has the Nangong family waited for this plan? The eight elders sacrificed their lives to give you a chance to change your fate, but what about you? I asked you to take Chi Guyan's Gifted Bloodline, but you took Tian Xing's instead! "
Nangong Tian sounded agitated. After a slight pause, he continued, "Alright, since you've already done it, I'll do as you say. However, you should return to the Nangong family immediately to start our plan after you come out. It's a fact that Mu 'er swallowed the fruit of the Tree of God, so why aren't you willing to take it? If you take away the fruit of the Tree of God, the worst outcome would be Mu 'er losing his consciousness and becoming a cripple. He wouldn't lose his life. If not for you, the Nangong family's plan would have started long ago. We wouldn't even need to participate in the Heaven Alliance Meeting. It's you, you insisted on participating in the Heaven Alliance Meeting. You didn't even care about your ancestors and said that this was an opportunity. If you could become the master of the Holy Region, you would be able to take back everything that belonged to the Nangong family. I listened to you again, but what did you do to me? You're the one who made me take this step. You're responsible for Mu 'er's death. Swallow it, this is the last hope of the Nangong family! "
As Nangong Tian finished his sentence, a pure white radiance rushed out of Nangong Mu's body and condensed into a white flower in the air. In the middle of the flower, there was a fruit that exuded a chilling aura. There were extremely complicated golden cloud patterns carved on it.
"Ah!!!" Nangong Hao's body shook violently after hearing Nangong Tian's words. He let out another roar and tears flowed down from his bloodshot eyes. Those were red tears.
This scene shocked the surrounding disciples once again. Although they didn't quite understand what Nangong Tian and Nangong Hao were talking about, they didn't know what Nangong Tian and Nangong Hao were talking about.
However …
Not understanding didn't mean that they didn't understand at all.
The Nangong family was planning something, and it was definitely not a small matter. That was because they were planning to steal Heaven's fate and swallow Chi Guyan's Gifted Bloodline.
If Nangong Hao didn't point his sword at Nangong Tian, they might never know about this.
What plan?!
No, no matter what plan it was, they couldn't let the Nangong family succeed!
This time, almost all the disciples looked at Nangong Tian and Nangong Hao with enmity from the bottom of their hearts.
"Hao 'er, did you see that? We have no other way out. If you don't do it, the Nangong family will become the public enemy of the world. Do you really want to wait until the Nangong family is exterminated? "Nangong Tian looked around with a desolate expression.
However, there was also a kind of madness under this desolation. It was a madness of fighting with one's life on the line.
"Brother Mu, don't worry. I won't let you die. I definitely won't let you die!" Nangong Hao's body shook again and he knelt down in front of Nangong Mu. Then, he looked at Nangong Tian and said, "I want Brother Mu to live. I want him to live to see everything!"
"Alright, as long as you swallow the fruit of the Tree of God, I won't pull out this dagger. Moreover, I guarantee that Mu 'er will live to see everything that happens today!" Nangong Tian nodded seriously.
"Don't even think about it!" A voice interrupted Nangong Tian's sentence. Then, an eagle-like sharp claw clawed at the white flower floating in mid-air.
It was Yan Yin.
After hearing the conversation between Nangong Tian and Nangong Hao, he made up his mind immediately. No matter what the Nangong family was planning, he couldn't let them succeed.
However, he didn't manage to grab the fruit of the Tree of God.
That was because a hand was already in front of him and locked onto his wrist meridian like a metal cage. Even he couldn't break free from such a powerful force.
Yan Yin was undoubtedly shocked by this outcome.
Although he had vaguely guessed that Nangong Tian wasn't weak, he still couldn't believe that Nangong Tian was strong enough to go against him.
After all …
He was the Great Elder of the Heaven Dao Pavilion. He was at the peak of the Sage State and one of the most powerful people in the Holy Region!
"Yan Yin, you can't go over!" Nangong Tian stood up steadily at this moment and stood between him and Nangong Hao.
"I didn't expect this. I really didn't expect the head of Nangong family to have hidden his strength so well!" Yan Yin stared at Nangong Tian and his expression kept changing.
"You still don't want to give up? Haha, I can tell you very clearly that even if you're at the peak of Sage State, you won't be able to defeat me without 50 moves! "Nangong Tian naturally noticed the change in Yan Yin's expression.
"50 moves? That's not necessarily true! " Yan Yin frowned and black cloud patterns appeared on his arm, making him look like a skeleton.
Boom! A loud explosion was heard.
Nangong Tian's hand that was holding onto Yan Yin's wrist was shaken off. However, Nangong Tian's leg kicked towards Yan Yin at an extremely fast speed the moment it was shaken off.
It was too close.
At such a close distance, even Yan Yin wouldn't be able to dodge the kick completely.
Boom! As the airwave rumbled, Yan Yin's body flew five steps away. It was too late for him to rush over after he steadied himself.
That was because Nangong Hao's hand was already on the fruit of the Tree of God. The chilling aura caused Nangong Hao's arm to be covered with a white crystal.
Gulp! Nangong Hao swallowed the fruit of the Tree of God without any hesitation. At the same time, more than 10 black figures dashed out and surrounded Nangong Hao instantly.
"Buzz!" The sound of the aura of heaven and earth being triggered was heard. Then, an extremely chilling aura surged towards the surroundings with Nangong Hao as the center.
It was a kind of aura that was like the waves of the sea. Layer after layer, it continuously spread out in all directions. It was crystal clear and snow-white, cold and boundless.
The violent aura caused the surrounding disciples to retreat continuously. However, as they retreated, they strangely discovered that there was a circle of silver-white cloud patterns beneath their feet. It was extremely complicated, and there were even eight incomparably complicated characters on it.
Blood Offering Illustration!
However, it was the silver-white Blood Offering Illustration!
Nangong Hao's body floated into the air at this moment. A silver-white flower symbol appeared on his forehead, and there were eight characters surrounding the flower symbol. It looked as though the eight characters were connecting the silver-white flower in the middle.
In the sky, the gigantic shadow of a tree appeared once again. However, it was different from when Nangong Mu cast it previously. There were complicated cloud patterns on the gigantic shadow, and those cloud patterns overlapped with the silver-white cloud patterns on the ground. It looked like a gigantic cycle, the cycle of heaven and earth.
"Rumble!" The ground trembled.
The gigantic tree that was completely made of ice and snow emerged from the ground once again. The complicated cloud patterns covered the leaves and trunk of the gigantic tree.
Almost instantly, the gigantic tree grew to a height of a hundred feet. Moreover, it didn't seem to have any intention of stopping. It continued to grow towards the sky as though it was going to pierce through the entire sky.
Snowflakes drifted down from the sky, one after another.
It was a beautiful scene, but no one had the heart to appreciate it, because everyone had an ominous feeling rising in their hearts.
"What exactly is this?!"
"What exactly is the Nangong family's plan?"
"The cloud patterns beneath our feet … Why are they exactly the same as the ones on this tree?"
Countless questions arose in the hearts of the surrounding disciples, but no one could answer them. That was because they had never seen anything like this recorded in the ancient books.
However, these questions didn't linger in their hearts for too long. Soon, they tossed these unimportant questions aside.
That was because they suddenly felt that the energy in their bodies was depleting rapidly, and it was continuously gathering towards the cloud patterns beneath their feet.
Such an unforeseen event had undoubtedly caused them to be slightly surprised and even slightly terrified.
Of course, to a certain person who had fallen to the ground, this was also a rather unbelievable thing. Therefore, the person who had fainted on the ground suddenly opened his eyes.
