Words:1704Update:23/04/20 01:27:05
On the surface of the sea covered in cold air, a ship was escaping from the port of New Fanxue City at a rapid speed.
The new city's order was affected by the battle of Fanxue Mountain. The streets were congested with cars. Many people had run to wider areas to prevent the tremors from reaching the commercial buildings.
With the sea monsters as a huge threat, the people were able to remain calm when facing a minor disaster. Many people simply sat on the ground and chatted with one another while waiting for the tremors to stop.
"The Nanrong Clan has escaped. That's their ship!" someone at the port yelled excitedly.
"They were so cool when they came. They were even docked at Fanxue Mountain's dock, as if the place was their territory, but now they're like homeless dogs!"
"The Nanrong Clan used to be a little royal family in the south. Every disciple of the clan was a giant among men. They were approachable and had a good reputation. How did the Nanrong Clan end up like this after a few years? They're trying to cling onto the Mu Clan and bully other clans. They only care about their own benefits …" an old man sighed.
"Speaking of which, aren't the leaders of Fanxue Mountain a little too ruthless? Even Mayor Lin Kang was taken out by Mubai!"
"Lin Kang deserved it!"
…
The ship was driven by magic machines. Countless water arrows were fired from the ship, splitting the surface of the sea and creating bigger ripples.
He could not help but admit that the boat was quite special. It was comparable to some battleships. The Nanrong Clan had always dealt with the ocean. Basically, every ship in the south would pass through their factory. They were considered a reputable family of shipbuilders.
Nanrong Ni was on the deck. Her hair was disheveled. She was covering her ear with one hand.
Her right ear, neck, and shoulder were covered in blood. Mu Ningxue's arrow was too quick and ruthless. It had penetrated one of her ears.
As a matter of fact, Mu Ningxue was aiming at her forehead. Nanrong Ni had not wasted her cultivation over the years. She managed to break free from the lock, but she had lost one of her ears in the process.
Nanrong Ni was a Healer. Normally, it was easy for her to heal a wound like this. The pain would not last for too long.
However, Mu Ningxue's Ice Crystal Bow was not made of ordinary Elemental Magic. Her ears could not be healed no matter how hard she tried. No matter how many Healing Spells were cast on them, they still could not melt the ice on her ears.
Her face darkened. She glared in Fanxue Mountain's direction like a ghost that had drowned in water.
At the harbor, countless people were cheering.
She heard the people mocking Nanrong Ni and the Nanrong Clan.
If it weren't for the ship, the people of the Nanrong Clan would have all died there. Even though they managed to escape with their lives intact, she felt worse than dying!
Shouldn't Mu Ningxue be left with nothing?
He didn't have the admiration of so many people, he didn't have outstanding talent, and he didn't have outstanding cultivation. He died insignificant deaths that no one cared about!
But now, not only did she own a new city that was comparable to the Nanrong Clan's, her name was even more well-known in the south. Almost every cultivator knew who she was, especially the female Magicians …
Nan Rongni had the urge to tear herself into pieces when the great sense of humiliation overwhelmed her.
"Useless trash, a bunch of useless trash. I don't care who they are, they are all unreliable in the end. I still have to deal with her myself!" Nanrong Ni no longer had her usual calm demeanor. She was utterly cold and terrifying.
…
Fanxue Mountain, in a valley full of broken rocks, a man who had lost half of his body was lying on the ground. His face was covered in blood. It was impossible to recognize him.
A pair of long boots, exquisite with a hint of nobility, the owner of the boots hovered above the pile of rubble with a tall and straight posture. A gentle wind coiled around her slender waist, gently dragging her along.
Her figure was indeed beautiful, but the murderous aura she was emitting was not something anyone would dare to offend.
The man who had lost half of his body was Nanrong Xu.
He stared at Mu Ningxue. His eyes were filled with pain and hatred.
However, his hatred did not come from Mu Ningxue.
Nanrong Xu was well aware of what had happened at the end of the battle.
He had stepped forward and helped Nanrong Ni break free from Mu Ningxue's deadly bow. Nanrong Ni had turned around and fled on her own boat.
Sometimes, humans were just that complicated.
If Nanrong Xu could turn into a demon, the first person he would kill would be his sister, Nanrong Ni.
Nanrong Xu could not believe his sister would betray him so decisively, even at the moment of his death.
Mu Ningxue did not say a word. She stared at the miserable Nanrong Xu without the slightest hint of pity in her eyes.
On the other hand, Mu Ningxue felt sorry for her past self.
She had treated a person who could betray her own family as her best friend. She was supposed to treat her with sincerity, yet she had treated them so coldly?
"Give … give me a quick answer." Nanrong Xu was not as petty as he had imagined. He did not beg for his life, either. He knew it was meaningless for him to live without the lower half of his body.
Mu Ningxue did not hold a grudge against Nanrong Xu. It was just a matter of their standpoints. She raised her hand and summoned an icicle, aiming it at Nanrong Xu's heart.
"Wait." At this moment, Xinxia's voice sounded.
Mu Ningxue turned around and saw Xinxia approaching on the back of the Unicorn.
She landed beside Nanrong Xu and cast a Healing Spell to keep him alive.
After taking care of Nanrong Xu's body to prevent him from dying right away, Xinxia headed toward Mu Ningxue.
Xinxia was still having trouble walking. It was obvious that even though she could walk like a normal person, she would struggle after walking for a short distance. She was sweating profusely, as if she had just done a strenuous exercise.
Mu Ningxue supported her.
Xinxia glanced at Nanrong Xu and whispered to Mu Ningxue, "Nanrong Ni has been pretending to be kind and gentle in front of the world. You didn't bother to explain the grudge between the two of you, yet she still tried to frame you. If I save him, we can expose Nanrong Ni's true colors. "
"Mm, I'll listen to you," Mu Ningxue quickly understood what Xinxia was trying to say and nodded.
Meanwhile, a few people from the outer circle of Fanxue Mountain arrived. Their clothes were clean, as if they were not involved in the duel, yet they had come to announce their stand after winning the duel.
Mu Ningxue was too lazy to waste her time on them. She already knew who the real core of Fanxue Mountain was. She did not care if they wanted to help her clean up the battlefield.
Mu Ningxue summoned them and asked them to carry Nanrong Xu back.
With the Candidate of the Goddess of Parthenon around, Nanrong Xu would have a hard time dying.
