Nangong Wan didn't know why, but she felt somewhat dazed. She couldn't help but furrow her brows.
The surroundings of the Nangong Family's courtyard were quiet and peaceful. The Harmonious Stream of Flowing Goblets, the pavilions, and the floating mist made the surroundings seem like a fairyland.
However, this fairyland-like environment gave Nangong Wan a bone-chilling feeling.
The mist became denser and denser. It was like a tide that came from all directions and enveloped Nangong Wan.
What was going on?
How could something like this happen …
Nangong Wan felt as if all the pores on her body were about to explode. Her true energy surged, and her half-step Divine cultivation made her aura extremely powerful.
However, she was unable to disperse the mist.
An enemy attack?
Impossible … This was the Nangong Family's courtyard.
There were many experts protecting it, and it was impossible for an enemy attack to happen.
What was going on?
Nangong Wan was somewhat anxious, and a faint cyan flame gushed out of her, making her look cold and elegant all of a sudden.
"Who is it? Come out! If you dare to invade my Nangong Family … then don't hide! "
Nangong Wan coldly shouted.
Buzz …
The mist in the surroundings became even denser.
Nangong Wan's voice reverberated in the air. The surroundings were extremely quiet, and the sound of the Harmonious Stream of Flowing Goblets was very clear. However, it was so clear that it made people's hearts tremble.
Hehe … Haha …
Faint laughter drifted out from the mist, and it came from all directions. Nangong Wan couldn't figure out what was going on.
Rumble!
Her alchemic flame surged and it seemed as if it had turned into a phoenix that soared into the sky. It exploded in all directions.
Bang …
It seemed as if a storm had swept through the area, and flames soared into the sky.
However, Nangong Wan's heart quickly sank. Her attack didn't manage to disperse the mist in the slightest.
Amidst the hazy fog, a figure seemed to slowly emerge.
It became clearer and clearer.
In the end, the mist dissipated, and the figure appeared in front of Nangong Wan.
When Nangong Wan saw the person's face clearly, her beautiful pupils shrank, and she sucked in a breath of cold air.
"Second Elder … Why is it you? You … Didn't you follow my father to the Cloud Sea Secret Realm? Why are you here?! "
The Second Elder, Nangong Xuanying, was a powerful existence who had broken through two of the Supreme-Being's shackles.
Back then, he had clearly followed his father to the Cloud Sea Mystic Realm. Shouldn't he be returning with his father today?
Why would the Second Elder appear here?
This was illogical!
Chaos … Everything seemed to be a little chaotic.
The Second Elder looked at Nangong Wan with a faint smile, but a complicated look flashed in his eyes.
"Lil Wan, come with Grandpa Xuanying. Grandpa will bring you to a good place. I won't let you get hurt," Nangong Xuanying said gently.
He looked at Nangong Wan dotingly.
Nangong Wan's gaze was as sharp as lightning, and she shook her head. Something was not right … Something was not right.
There was something strange about this.
Why did the Second Elder take her away? Nangong Wan wasn't a fool. How could she not know that the so-called 'going to a good place' meant that she would be imprisoned?
Although the Second Elder's words were filled with affection, Nangong Wan felt a chill run down her spine.
"Come … Follow Grandpa Black Eagle."
Nangong Xuanying, with his hands clasped behind his back, extended his hand, and gently waved at Nangong Wan.
"No!"
Nangong Wan glared at him, and a cyan alchemic flame engulfed her body. The ground beneath her feet exploded, and it gave rise to a whistling gale.
Nangong Wan took a deep breath, turned around, and dashed out of the courtyard.
She wanted to escape.
She couldn't allow herself to be captured without putting up a fight.
The smile on Nangong Xuanying's face gradually disappeared.
"Why are you so disobedient? You really have the same temperament as your father. It's a pity that this temperament won't bring you a good end."
Nangong Xuanying said coldly. As he spoke, his tone became more and more sinister.
He looked at Nangong Wan, who was about to rush out of the courtyard.
Nangong Xuanying raised his palm.
Rustle …
Two faintly discernible pitch-black chains appeared on his back.
The world's pressure suddenly became more intense.
Nangong Wan's body, which was about to rush out, stiffened. Her eyes widened, and her body was powerlessly pressed against the ground.
The world's pressure emitted by an existence who had broken through two of the Supreme-Being's shackles wasn't something that Nangong Wan, who was only half a step into the Divine Realm, could resist.
The disparity between their strengths was too great.
Under this pressure, she couldn't even struggle.
A trace of unwillingness appeared in her eyes.
However, she was even more confused.
...
The eerie white flame flickered.
It lit up the teleportation array's vital energy. The vital energy seemed to be boiling as it surged up.
Boundless fluctuations lingered around the teleportation array and reverberated throughout the entire building.
Nangong Wuque controlled the Nine Hell King Flame with a calm gaze.
The Great Elder, Nangong Xuanhe, stood in the distance and looked at the handsome Nangong Wuque. The corners of his mouth curled up, revealing a sinister smile.
The teleportation array flickered with light, and an intense fluctuation spread out.
A beam of light soared into the sky and shot into the heavens.
The clouds above the Heavenly Mist City suddenly changed. The originally bright sky was suddenly covered by rolling black clouds.
This might …
All the Heavenly Mist City's families and experts were stirred up.
Did the Nangong Family activate the teleportation array again? The Nangong Family's members were about to return from the Secret Realm. The competition for the slots to enter the Secret Realm would soon begin.
The Heavenly Mist City would soon be bustling with noise and excitement.
Nangong Wuque looked at the teleportation array and sensed the radiance surging out of it. It seemed as though several figures were emerging from the teleportation array.
Surging fluctuations spread out.
However, Nangong Wuque quickly sensed that something was amiss. He furrowed his brows.
Even though he was a clown, he wasn't stupid.
Eerie laughter rang out from the surroundings. It sounded like the howls of ghosts and the cries of birds. It lingered in the air, sometimes near and sometimes far away.
The eerie white flame illuminated the faces of the Nangong Family's upper echelons. Nangong Wuque instinctively became vigilant when he saw their eerie laughter.
Something was wrong.
Swoosh!
Suddenly, a majestic pressure descended upon him.
Nangong Wuque felt as though he was carrying a mountain on his shoulders.
What was going on?
Which expert with two severed shackles attacked him?
Nangong Wuque coldly raised his head. The wind whistled and fluttered his red hair.
Nangong Xuanhe smiled as he looked at Nangong Wuque. However, Nangong Wuque couldn't feel the slightest hint of a smile on his face.
His aura erupted and true energy surged out from his body. A terrifying pressure surged out from his body and pressed down on Nangong Wuque.
"Great Elder, what are you doing?"
Nangong Wuque asked coldly.
"Wuque, let me tell you a piece of bad news. Your father, Nangong Wangtian, died in the Cloud Sea Secret Realm."
Nangong Xuanhe sighed and said sorrowfully.
Nangong Wuque's pupils shrank to the size of a mung bean.
What?
Father died? How was this possible?
His father was a Divine Physique Echelon expert with three severed Supreme-Being shackles. How could he die?
Nangong Wuque didn't believe it. He turned his head and looked at the teleportation array.
The flames gradually dissipated and converged into his body.
The teleportation array was overflowing with energy.
One by one, the faces of the Daoists became clearer and clearer.
"No … No … How could there be no one?"
Nangong Wuque felt as though he was struck by lightning. He couldn't find his father's figure.
Crack …
A figure slowly walked out of the teleportation array. He sneered as he looked at Nangong Wuque, who was in a daze.
"Big brother, are they going to make a move?"
"Third brother, this is all thanks to the information you sent back. Second brother went to capture that girl, right?" Nangong Xuanhe looked at the figure that walked out of the teleportation array.
"Of course. With second brother taking action, that girl won't be able to escape." The Third Elder, Nangong Xuanhu, laughed heartily.
"Nangong Wangtian died. The Nangong Family will belong to us three brothers. As long as we control this kid and that girl, no one can defeat us." The Third Elder laughed heartily.
Nangong Wuque coldly looked at the two of them.
The higher-ups of the Nangong Family in the surroundings also changed sides.
The Nangong Family was no longer the Nangong Family of the past.
Moreover …
"If you dare to touch a single hair on Nangong Wan's head, I, Nangong Wuque, will definitely kill you." Nangong Wuque stood up slowly.
The Great Elder calmly looked at him.
"Wan is so beautiful. Why would we hurt her? The successor of the Mu Family in Heavenly Pill City, Mu Chenfeng, will come to our Nangong Family in a few days to propose marriage. Wan is going to marry him grandly. "
Mu Chenfeng?
Nangong Wuque's eyes instantly turned red as he roared.
"You dare? Mu Chenfeng, that disgusting beast, is not worthy of my sister. Nangong Xuanhe, if you dare to do this, I will definitely kill you. "
Nangong Wuque's roar reverberated through the entire floor.
The people in the surroundings sneered coldly.
Nangong Xuanhe calmly looked at him and said, "Don't be anxious. I have been eyeing the Nine Hell King Flame in your body for a long time. I will slowly extract it from your body."
In the next moment, Nangong Xuanhe's figure disappeared from his original position.
Sonic booms resounded unceasingly.
Nangong Wuque's pupils shrank. White flames erupted from his body and engulfed him.
However, an unrivalled stream of True Qi directly smashed into his face, and sent him flying ruthlessly.
A loud bang resounded.
Nangong Xuanhe turned his palm into a claw and grabbed Nangong Wuque's neck, pressing him to the ground. A strange fluctuation spread out, and Nangong Wuque felt that his energy was fading away.
His veins popped out as he glared at Nangong Xuanhe.
His gaze was incomparably cold.
…
Cloud Mist Restaurant
Bu Fang finished his last service. He stretched his body and chased the last customer out of the restaurant.
Then, he closed the bronze gate without any hesitation.
Yang Meiji walked down from the second floor with an odd expression on her face. She looked at Bu Fang in disbelief.
The changes in the Cloud Mist Restaurant were too great. It was so great that she couldn't adapt to it.
However, she couldn't deny that Bu Fang had revitalized the Cloud Mist Restaurant. This was a fact.
This was what made Yang Meiji admire him.
Yang Meiji opened her mouth and wanted to say something.
Suddenly, her mind flickered and she took out a jade talisman from her bosom.
She didn't hide from Bu Fang and directly activated the jade talisman.
A person's figure appeared on the jade talisman.
It was an old man with a head full of white hair. His gaze was deep and unfathomable.
That person didn't even look at Bu Fang. He just stared at Yang Meiji and said calmly.
"Lass, return to the Pill Tower immediately. The Heavenly Mist City is going to change."
