Nie Tian's expression stiffened as he looked at Nie Feiliu.
He suddenly realized that he couldn't sense Nie Feiliu's strength at all.
Nie Tian was a late-stage Paramount God, and his perception far surpassed that of other cultivators in the same level. Therefore, he could clearly sense the strength of any cultivator below the peak God realm.
But when it came to Nie Feiliu, he was surprised to find that although the latter's aura wasn't as vigorous as that of a vast ocean, it was very mysterious and difficult to grasp.
Seeing Nie Tian's reaction, Nie Feiyu couldn't help but frown and say with a faint smile, "Nie Tian, fifth brother rarely shows himself. This is your first time seeing him. Are you happy?"
"I'm very happy to see fifth uncle." Nie Tian nodded, his expression returning to normal.
Nie Feiliu seemed a bit embarrassed. Clearing his throat, he said, "Nie Tian, Qingwan has been with you all this time, right?"
"Oh, yeah." Nie Tian's eyes flickered as he recalled that Nie Qingwan was Nie Feiliu's daughter.
He quickly opened the Ninefold Ultimates and let Nie Qingwan out.
"Dad!" Nie Qingwan walked out of Jiu Ji and saw Nie Feiliu. She called out in pleasant surprise and walked to the latter's side in two or three steps. She hugged the latter's arm and said coquettishly, "How could you bear to leave that big courtyard? Is Mother well?"
"Your mom is fine. Come with me to see her later. She misses you." Nie Feiliu's voice was low and cold, but the way he looked at Nie Qingwan was very doting.
Nie Tian couldn't help but frown as he looked at Nie Feiliu and Nie Qingwan. He had a feeling that this fifth uncle of his wasn't simple at all.
"Nie Tian, this fifth uncle of yours isn't simple at all." Fat Cat's voice suddenly rang out, a strange smile on his face.
"This person's power is clearly …" At the same time, Ghost Emperor, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up.
Nie Tian's eyes narrowed, and his suspicions deepened.
It was one thing for Fat Cat to speak up, but even Ghost Emperor was surprised.
One had to know that the Ghost Emperor was a true sage realm expert. He must have discovered something astonishing for him to be so surprised by Nie Feiliu.
Nie Tian couldn't understand what Nie Feiliu had on him that could cause the Ghost Emperor to be so shocked.
However, Fat Cat and the Ghost Emperor didn't plan to continue talking. It seemed like they weren't too sure about their discovery, so they didn't say it directly.
"Nie Tian, have you heard about the Wind and Cloud Alliance?" Nie Feiyu sighed and said with a solemn expression, "Perhaps all of this is the fate of the Nie Family."
"Sixth Uncle, what's going on?" Nie Tian frowned in confusion.
He only knew that the Wind and Cloud Alliance had undergone a tremendous change within half a month, but he did not know the reason behind it.
The Wind and Cloud Alliance was such a powerful force, yet it had fallen apart in just half a month. It was truly shocking and infuriating.
All of this must be because of that mysterious old man.
"I'll bring you to see your grandfather." Nie Feiyu let out a long sigh and turned towards the Wind and Cloud Great Hall.
A moment later, Nie Tian and the rest arrived outside the great hall.
"Nie Tian, your grandfather is in the great hall. Go see him." Nie Feiyu nodded and signaled for the others to stop.
It was obvious that Nie Dao only wanted to see Nie Tian.
Nie Tian nodded and stepped into the great hall.
The entire hall was empty and lonely, and it seemed desolate and bleak.
Nie Tian quickly entered and saw an old man standing in the middle of the hall. It was none other than Nie Dao.
"Grandfather!" Nie Tian took a step forward and came to Nie Dao's side. When he saw the latter's appearance, he couldn't control the grief and indignation in his heart.
A few months ago, Nie Dao was still a peak existence in the nine zones. Although he was old, he was still full of vigor like a lion, emitting the aura of a ruler.
But the current Nie Dao had a hunched back and looked old. His face was full of wrinkles, and his body emitted the aura of a dying tree. It was as if a gust of wind could blow him over.
How could Nie Tian not be angry when he saw Nie Dao's state!
"Nie Tian, calm down first." Nie Dao looked at Nie Tian and signaled for him to calm down.
"Grandfather, what happened?" Nie Tian suppressed the anger in his heart and asked in a deep voice.
"Someone from the Nangong family has returned." Nie Dao sighed and said, "That person has returned to unify the nine zones."
"As I thought!" Nie Tian thought's expression changed slightly.
He had guessed that the mysterious old man must have appeared and changed everything.
What Nie Dao had just said was exactly the same as his speculation.
Nie Tian's eyes flickered as he asked, "Grandpa, who was that?"
"That person is the one who made the agreement with our ancestor." Nie Dao let out a long breath as if to hide the despair in his heart. He closed his eyes and said.
"Hmm?" Nie Tian's eyes narrowed and his expression changed. He said in a deep voice, "The ancestor of the Nangong family!"
The person who made the agreement with the ancestor of the Nangong family was, of course, the ancestor of the Nangong family!
Nie Tian never thought that the mysterious old man was the ancestor of the Nangong family!
"Yes!" Nie Dao nodded. His slightly opened eyes were filled with despair.
"It's the ancestor of the Nangong family!" Nie Tian frowned and his expression darkened.
At this moment, he finally understood everything.
No wonder Nie Dao was willing to take three palm strikes from Nangong Duwo. No wonder the Wind and Cloud Alliance disbanded within ten days. No wonder the Nangong family and the Sacred Parliament dared to massacre Benevolent Light City.
All of this was because of a super expert, the ancestor of the Nangong family!
The ancestor of the Nangong family was one of the nine people sent by the Jueying Temple to the Nine Regions. His strength was at least at the half-Saint level!
Now that hundreds of thousands of years had passed, this old monster was still alive. His strength must have increased, which was why he had an extraordinary lifespan.
An expert like Nie Dao could not fight against the ancestor of the Nangong family.
Facing the strong pressure of the ancestor of the Nangong family, he could only choose to compromise.
"Nie Tian, I have decided to move all the direct descendants of the Nangong family into the ancestral ground. You should also enter the ancestral ground. " At this moment, Nie Dao was a little excited and said, "As long as you are alive, with your strength and talent, you will definitely break through the peak of the God realm one day and reach a higher realm."
As he spoke, Nie Dao pulled Nie Tian away, wishing he could immediately send the latter to the ancestral ground.
Nie Tian was the Nangong family's biggest hope. As long as he was alive, the Nangong family would not perish.
However, Nie Tian stood in place without moving.
"Nie Tian, what are you waiting for? Ruxi is also in the ancestral ground. You can reunite with her, "Nie Dao said anxiously when he saw that Nie Tian was not moving.
"Grandpa, some things cannot be avoided. We can hide in the ancestral ground, but what about the others? " Nie Tian's face was as dark as still water. "The others of the Wind and Cloud Alliance and the many branches of the Nangong family, what about them?"
"Nie Tian, we can't hold that many shares now. As long as you are alive, you are the Nangong family's biggest hope! "Nie Dao's forehead was beaded with sweat as he hurriedly urged.
Nie Tian still stood in place and said, "Grandpa, you still don't know. Something happened to Benevolent Light City. The entire city was destroyed, and all the Nangong family members were slaughtered! "
"What?" Nie Dao's pupils shrank when he heard Nie Tian's words. He let out a cry of shock and his body suddenly swayed, almost falling to the ground.
Nie Tian took a step forward and supported Nie Dao. He could feel every inch of the latter's flesh and every bone trembling.
Most of the people in Benevolent Light City were members of the Nangong family, yet they were slaughtered!
