Time continued to pass, but ever since the people from the Situ Family came out, the entrance to the Dead Zone had not flickered.
Nangong Chengye's expression became more and more unsightly. This was the trip to the Dead Zone that he had been looking forward to the most. Even though there had been some abnormalities in the Dead Zone, he did not pay much attention to it.
This was because he believed in the people that he had sent.
However, the result of three months was like this. This was something that he could not accept at all.
Even if only one person had returned, it would not have been as embarrassing as it was now.
As one of the three great families, especially since the Nangong Family had obtained first place in the Nine Clan Competition, everyone believed that the Nangong Family's strength was rising. Even the Ji Family and the Situ Family did not dare to underestimate them.
However, the Nangong Family had suffered such a crushing defeat.
Even the people from the Chen Family and the Dongfang Family had returned alive. This was simply incomprehensible. Could it be that so many of them were not as good as the two of them?
"So many of them did not return alive, yet the two of you were fine after leaving alone?" Nangong Chengye looked at Chen Hongyuan and Dongfang Fei Bai suspiciously.
The two of them were the first to return, especially the people from the Ji Family and the Situ Family. They were obviously heavily injured and looked very tired. It was obvious that they did not have a good time in the Dead Zone.
However, not only did the two of them look completely unharmed, but their mental state was also very good. This was too strange, and he could not help but be suspicious.
"Leader of the Nangong Family, what do you mean?" Dongfang Hong was a little unhappy when he heard this.
His son had entered the Dead Zone with everyone. Now that he had returned, it was because of his ability. However, from Nangong Chengye's words, it seemed like they had cheated.
Moreover, in the Dead Zone, it would be good if someone had a way to cheat, but who had the ability to do so?
It was already not easy for them to return alive, but they were now being questioned by others. This was too much.
"I don't mean anything else, I am just curious. Just now, the Situ Family's Supreme Elder also said that there were people from the outside world in the Dead Zone. That is why so few people returned.
But our three great clans have suffered such heavy losses, and the two of them left by themselves long ago, but now they have returned unscathed. I'm really curious, how did the two of you do it? " Nangong Chengye knew that he couldn't do anything excessive here. Otherwise, the Nangong Family would lose even more face, so he could only smile as he spoke.
However, Nangong Chengye's words clearly attracted the curiosity of the other aristocratic families.
They were indeed curious as to how the members of the Chen and Dongfang Families had managed to return alive. After all, these two families were considered to be relatively weak amongst the Nine Great Families, especially the Dongfang Family.
But now, not only did the Nangong Family, one of the Three Great Clans, not return, the Feng Family and the Jiang Family, who were more powerful than him, also did not return.
It wasn't like what Nangong Chengye had said. In fact, the two of them didn't seem to have any external injuries at all. This was really suspicious.
"Nangong Family Head, although the two of us had left by ourselves, it doesn't mean that we would definitely encounter the people from the outside world that the Situ Family's Supreme Elder had mentioned.
We have no idea how big the Dead Zone is. If it wasn't because of what you said, we wouldn't even know that there were other people in the Dead Zone other than our Nine Great Clans. I don't think there's anything strange about it, "Chen Hongyuan stood out and spoke indifferently.
Regarding Cheng Yu's matter, it was impossible for him to say it out.
Furthermore, if the other aristocratic families were to find out that he had brought an outsider in, not only him, but the Chen Family might also be in trouble.
However, if they didn't wish to admit what had happened in the Dead Zone, who could prove whether what they said was true or false?
As expected, when Nangong Chengye heard this, he immediately frowned.
Indeed, he had no idea what had happened in the Dead Zone. Otherwise, it would be impossible for none of the Nangong Family members to return alive.
The Dead Zone was so big. If Chen Hongyuan and Dongfang Feibai didn't encounter any outsiders, it seemed to be very reasonable. Even if he wanted to find another excuse, he wouldn't be able to find one.
"If that's the case, your luck is really very good. I wonder what kind of treasures did the two of you obtain in the Dead Zone?" Nangong Chengye looked at the two of them and continued to ask.
"Nangong Family Head, this isn't very appropriate. The juniors risked their lives to obtain something in the Dead Zone. No matter what, we don't have the right to question it right?
Besides, this is a matter between our Chen Family and the Dongfang Family. We can't possibly let them take out what they obtained in the Dead Zone for everyone to see right? "Chen Tianxing stood out unhappily.
Although the Nangong Family was one of the three great clans, when it concerned the dignity of his family, he couldn't possibly remain silent.
Nangong Chengye's current attitude was completely different from when he was at the Nine Family Competition. Perhaps, it was because none of the Nangong Family members had returned alive, causing him to reveal his true nature.
However, although the Chen Family was no match for the Nangong Family, they couldn't possibly let someone insult them in front of them without daring to talk back.
Furthermore, there was still the Dongfang Family and two other families present. Furthermore, the Grand Elder was also present. How could he dare to act forcefully?
"Haha! It seems that this old man has spoken too much! " Nangong Chengye laughed loudly. Even the light that flashed in his eyes was well concealed.
"Ji Family Head, I see that the juniors have experienced three months of life and death battles. They must be very tired now. Furthermore, it's been so long. I'm sure that no one will return. Can we leave now? "Chen Tianxing couldn't possibly be serious with Nangong Chengye. That would be very disadvantageous to the Chen Family.
However, he really wanted to know if Chen Hongyuan had obtained anything in these past few days. However, he definitely couldn't force Chen Hongyuan to take out the treasures here.
"I think it's about time. It's already been so long, there's no point in waiting any longer. What do you think, Nangong Family Head?" Ji Xian seemed to be very satisfied with this result.
Although the people who returned in the end were far from what he had expected, compared to the Situ Family and the Nangong Family, his advantage was already very obvious.
Especially the Nangong Family. Not a single person had returned. As for what Ji Zhenglin had said, he didn't want to pursue it anymore.
After all, in the end, no one could prove that the Nangong Family had betrayed them. If this continued, the Nangong Family's reputation would be tarnished. At that time, the situation might even go out of control.
