Inside the bamboo mountain, at the peak of the mountain, in the same light green main hall, the Patriarch Nangong Xun's face didn't have the same sullen expression as before. He was leisurely holding a scroll and calmly reading. From time to time, he would even read with joy. He didn't seem to know that the Nangong Family's calamity was coming.
Just then, a voice came from outside the main hall, "Patriarch, your son is back ~"
"Oh?"
Nangong Xun raised his head and looked outside the hall with a smile, "Hao 'er, quickly come in. I just saw the battle report you sent a few days ago and was about to reply to you!"
As he was speaking, a man who looked similar to Nangong Shiru quickly flew into the main hall. Wasn't he the other handsome Nangong Shihao of the Nangong Family?
"Hao 'er greets Patriarch ~"
Nangong Shihao came in front of Nangong Xun and respectfully bowed. His modesty and elegance were completely different from Nangong Shiru.
"Get up, get up ~"
Nangong Xun helped Nangong Shihao up and smiled, "My Nangong Family and the Ximen Family were fighting in the sky. Why did you, the army supervisor, suddenly return?"
"Hehe ~"
Nangong Shihao mysteriously smiled and said, "Patriarch, why don't you take a guess?"
"Take a guess?"
Nangong Xun put down the scroll and looked at Nangong Shihao meaningfully, "It shouldn't be a change in the battle situation. After all, the Ximen Family's strength is on par with my Nangong Family. This time, they declared war first and then accepted the challenge. Both sides were already prepared. The Ximen Family's Ximen Rong's intelligence is on par with yours. Just like what you said in the battle report, both sides know each other's roots and have been fighting for several years without a clear victor. Unless Ximen Rong's brain had a screw loose and isn't afraid that my Nangong Family would fight to the death and send out more disciples …"
Speaking up to here, Nangong Xun's expression suddenly changed. He coldly said, "But Shihao, do you know why I still like Shiru even though he is so arrogant? You are so elegant and talented, yet you can't obtain my favor. Why did I still give the opportunity to marry Emperor Chi to Shiru when you begged me that day? "
"Patriarch ~"
Nangong Shihao didn't expect Nangong Xun to suddenly turn hostile. He quickly knelt down on one knee and said, "Your son knows his mistake!"
"You should have realized your mistake long ago, but you didn't!"
Nangong Xun ignored Nangong Shihao and continued, "Do you think that this old man can casually choose a place to declare war in Sky Descent? Do you think that this old man let Nangong Cheng go to the Smoky Shadow Bamboo randomly? "
Just as Nangong Shihao was about to speak, Nangong Xun said coldly, "You don't need to speak. Didn't you want this old man to guess? Then … this old man will tell you the answer. Did you find the fragment of the Immortal Sacred Tablet? "
"Yes, yes ~"
An indescribable shock appeared on Nangong Shihao's face. He stammered, "Child … Child thought … Child's luck was good and I obtained a fragment from the battle between the two teams. Child was wild with joy and immediately rushed back to claim credit for the Patriarch. But … but child never would have dreamed that this was all arranged by the Patriarch …"
"That's why you're making this old man feel unhappy ~"
Nangong Xun said, "If it was Shiru, he definitely wouldn't have come back on his own. He definitely would have sent a message to this old man the moment he obtained the fragment. Because in this old man's order, the battle with the Ximen Family was the most important! Even if this old man had brought him back, he definitely wouldn't have played such a trick! "
With that, Nangong Xun raised his hand and took out a Red Cloud Festival. He threw it to Nangong Shihao and said, "As for the arrangement, this old man will tell you honestly. The first person to know that Sky Descent has the Immortal Sacred Tablet wasn't me, but the previous Patriarch!"
Nangong Shihao looked at the Red Cloud Festival in front of him. He didn't know whether to look at it or not!
"Hmph ~"
Nangong Xun snorted coldly and said, "If it was Shiru, he would definitely look at it!"
"Yes, Patriarch ~"
Nangong Shihao responded and hurriedly took the Red Cloud Festival. He hurriedly looked at it, and shock appeared on his face. He whispered, "Patriarch, Bo … Bo Zu already made arrangements? He knew that the murderous aura of the human race was overflowing in Sky Descent and would activate the fragment of the Immortal Sacred Tablet? He even found the secret technique to activate the fragment to find the Immortal Sacred Tablet? "
"What do you think!"
Nangong Xun raised his hand and grabbed the Red Cloud Festival. He said calmly, "If it wasn't for Bo Zu's sudden disappearance, he would have found the Immortal Sacred Tablet a long time ago. Why would he need you to search for it? In this Red Cloud Festival, Bo Zu even found a way to use the Sacred Tablet's power to suppress everything. "
"Patriarch ~"
Nangong Shihao didn't dare to be negligent. He quickly slapped the top of his head, and two Earthen Flowers appeared. As one of them opened, a faint golden fragment flew out.
Although the fragment was broken, the golden image was still in good condition. There were two large words on it. Wasn't it "Immortal"?
"Not bad ~"
Although Nangong Xun was scolding Nangong Shihao, he couldn't help but be excited when he saw the fragment. He whispered, "It really is the Immortal Sacred Tablet …"
"Really?"
Nangong Shihao was the one who returned the fragment of the Immortal Sacred Tablet, but he still couldn't believe it. He whispered, "Is it really the Sacred Tablet that can make the spirit, soul, and body immortal?"
"Of course ~"
Nangong Xun pointed at the fragment of the Immortal Sacred Tablet. The fragment rolled, and the golden light disappeared. When the fragment stabilized, the golden image of the tablet appeared again. Nangong Xun said calmly, "As long as the fragment doesn't break, the golden light will be complete, and the tablet will be immortal. Isn't this the Immortal Sacred Tablet's immortality? Unfortunately, the Immortal Sacred Tablet doesn't exist. Even if you get the fragment, you won't be able to see the Immortal Sacred Tablet's inscriptions! "
With that, Nangong Xun opened his mouth, and a green light poured out and swallowed the Immortal Sacred Tablet. Inscriptions flashed in his eyes. He had begun to form a blood bond with the fragment of the Immortal Sacred Tablet.
Seeing this, Nangong Shihao thought for a moment and whispered, "Patriarch, I heard that although the Immortal Sacred Tablet has the supreme mystery of the Heavenly Court, none of the people who got the fragment of the Immortal Sacred Tablet … have ever returned. Patriarch, you have the responsibility of the family, and you can't just go there as you wish …"
"Mm ~"
Nangong Xun didn't deny it. He said calmly, "I know what I'm doing, and I won't act rashly."
Nangong Shihao didn't dare to stand up. He waited carefully. After about 15 minutes, Nangong Xun said, "Stand up!"
"Yes, Patriarch ~"
Nangong Shihao stood up and stole a glance at Nangong Xun.
Nangong Xun's eyes were no longer strange, but he still looked outside the palace absent-mindedly and said, "No matter what, you still helped me and the Nangong Family to find the fragment of the Immortal Sacred Tablet. This is a credit without a doubt, and I will remember it!"
"Son ~"
Nangong Shihao was about to be humble, but he changed his mind and quickly said, "Thank you, Patriarch!"
