CHAPTER 473 - DEATH
"You are … Ning Xuanhuang's grandson …"
Ning Xuandong stared at Ning Qi with his mouth agape. His eyes were filled with disbelief.
However, Ning Qi's surname was Ning and he knew Ning Xuanhuang's real name. He was probably telling the truth.
Ning Xuandong recalled the past when he thought of Ning Xuanhuang. Seventy years had passed in the blink of an eye. Ning Xuandong remembered that he was only a sixteen-year-old when he left the Ning family.
"Uncle …"
"Don't call me uncle." Ning Xuandong looked at Ning Qi with a complicated expression and said, "Call me Great Grandpa."
"Uh, yes, Great Grandpa."
Ning Qi nodded and said.
"Why are you in the Cloud Rising Sect?"
Ning Xuandong looked at Ning Qi with doubt in his eyes. The Qin Tang Empire was hundreds of thousands of miles away from the Cloud Rising Sect. An ordinary person would not be able to cross such a distance. They might lose their lives to demonic beasts or bandits after crossing tens of thousands of miles. It was even more impossible for the Ning family to send Ning Qi to the Cloud Rising Sect.
Ning Xuandong remembered that before he left the Ning family, the strongest person in the family was his father, who was only a five-star Dou Wang! In the Qin Tang Empire, he was only a second-rate, third-rate Dou Wang!
"I came to the Cloud Rising Sect on my own and participated in the Cloud Rising Sect's Outer Disciple Selection Meeting. I was selected to become an outer disciple."
Ning Qi said.
Ning Xuandong looked at Ning Qi deeply. His eyes flashed with shock when he saw that Ning Qi's cultivation was already a six-star Dou Huang.
He said lightly, "How is your grandfather now?"
Ning Qi said, "He's healthy. He's a two-star Dou Huang."
Two-star Dou Huang …
A look of gratification flashed in Ning Xuandong's eyes. When he saw Ning Qi staring at him, he immediately coughed to cover it up. Then, he said indifferently, "Why did you offend the Divine Son of my Five Poisons Divine Sect?"
Ning Qi told him what had happened. After listening, Ning Xuandong nodded and said, "Fortunately, you met me today. If it was another elder, you would have died a horrible death!"
"That's right."
Ning Qi nodded bitterly.
"Where are you going now?"
Ning Xuandong asked.
"The Nine States Empire."
Ning Qi said.
Ning Xuandong stepped forward, grabbed Ning Qi, and rose into the air, flying toward the Jiuzhou Empire.
After flying for about half a day, Ning Qi felt that his physical condition was gradually improving. He immediately ate three top-grade Earth-rank Rejuvenation Pills to restore his HP to its peak state. Only then did he feel a little more at ease. Then, he tilted his head to look at Ning Xuandong. After a closer look, he found that Ning Xuandong's appearance was indeed 50% to 60% similar to Grandfather Ning.
Ning Xuandong looked like he was only in his forties. If he were older, he would probably look 70 to 80 percent similar.
After a while, Ning Qi couldn't help but ask, "Grandpa, why is there no record of you in the Ning family?"
A trace of loneliness flashed across Ning Xuandong's eyes. He then coldly laughed and said, "You'll have to ask my father. He's already dead, right?"
"Eh, grandfather has indeed passed away."
Ning Qi was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
Before he was born, the grandfather of the Ning family had already died. It was said that he had suffered an internal injury in a fight. Later, when he was training in seclusion, the internal injury broke out and he instantly died. Otherwise, he would probably still be alive now. For example, the Nine Great Clans had many ancestors hidden in their families. Sometimes, they wouldn't be too surprised to see an ancestor who was more than ten generations older than them. It was very normal.
Hearing that his father was really dead, Ning Xuandong's expression immediately changed. Then, he didn't say anything. No matter what Ning Qi asked, he didn't answer.
Finally, when they were about to reach the Nine States Empire, he stopped.
"You can walk the rest of the way by yourself. The Five Poisons Divine Sect is not on good terms with the Nine States Empire, so I won't be going."
Ning Xuandong said.
Ning Qi hurriedly said, "Grandpa, when will you go back to the Ning family to take a look?"
The Ning family … Ning Xuandong neither nodded nor shook his head. Instead, he faintly said, "If I have the chance, I will go back."
After saying this, he looked deeply at Ning Qi, then turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the horizon.
"It is unexpected that the Ning family can also produce a seven star Dou Zong …"
Ning Qi looked in the direction where Ning Xuandong disappeared and sighed in his heart.
Every three stars was a huge improvement. A seven star Dou Zong meant that Ning Xuandong had at least crossed two thresholds on this path. Although there were still a few thresholds before he could break through to the Dou Zun class, and some people would never be able to cross these thresholds in their lifetime, a seven star Dou Zong was already an existence among the upper echelons of all the Dou Zongs in Dongxuan. Most Dou Zongs were still lingering between one star and three stars.
After sighing, Ning Qi continued flying in the direction of the Nine States Empire. Soon, he entered the city and went directly to the Heavenly Mystery Institution in the suburbs.
…
"It is unexpected that Ning Xuandong has actually nurtured such a genius. Even the divine son, Hua Wushang, is no match for him …" Thinking of how Hua Wushang, who was a one star Dou Zun in the Five Poisons Divine Sect, could not compare to a disciple of the Ning family, Ning Xuandong could not help but reveal a smile.
After smiling, he realized that it was not very good for him to be like this.
"On one side is the sect, and on the other side is the family. Although this family has hurt my heart, my father is already dead. Let the hatred from back then return to ashes, and dust to dust …"
Thinking of this, Ning Xuandong made a decision. He turned around and flew to the Qin Tang Empire.
Qin Tang Empire.
Ning Xuandong stood in front of the Champion Marquis's residence, looking at the familiar gate and the familiar courtyard wall. His eyes revealed a look of reminiscence.
"Brother Xuandong, I am here. You have been looking for me for so long, but you still can't find me. You are so stupid!"
"Brother Xuandong, my father died of illness. My mother wants to remarry with me."
"Brother Xuandong, I am leaving. Don't worry about me …"
"Ning Xuandong, as the direct descendant of the Champion Marquis's residence, how can you marry a commoner's daughter?"
"Father, let me out. I really like Lan Xin!"
"No! You will stay at home for this period of time to reflect on your mistakes! "
"…"
Ning Xuandong's face was full of tears as he recalled this.
At this moment, the gate of the Champion Marquis's residence opened slowly. Old Ning walked out with his servants. When he saw Ning Xuandong, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.
He wanted to leave immediately, but for some reason, Old Ning walked in front of Ning Xuandong and said with a smile, "Little brother, why are you crying at the gate of my Ning Family?"
The servants beside Old Ning looked at Ning Xuandong with vigilance, fearing that he was an expert hired by Zhu Rong to assassinate Old Ning. After all, the Champion Marquis's residence and the Dragon Slayer Marquis's residence were one. Ning Qi's enemies would inevitably target his family. Old Ning was one of the biggest targets.
Ning Xuandong slowly looked at Old Ning. The corner of his mouth curled up into a smile and said, "Xuan Huang, I am your elder brother …"
