Bang!
The door to the Nangong residence was kicked open and shattered into two.
“Who’s there?!”
A group of guards were alarmed and rushed over one after another, shouting.
However, when they saw who it was, the guards were stunned and said instinctively, “Young Master Yu?”
The person who barged in was none other than Nangong Yu.
At that moment, Nangong Yu’s expression was grim and his handsome face was filled with killing intent as he cursed repeatedly.
The guards exchanged glances and naturally did not dare to stop him.
Nangong Yu passed through the corridor and headed straight for the backyard.
Before long, he came to a room and took a deep breath before knocking.
“Come in,”
A deep voice sounded from within the room.
Nangong Yu pushed the door open and entered.
The room was extremely spacious and a cultivator sat in the middle. His long beard fell to his chest and he had a dignified gaze.
This cultivator was the owner of this Nangong residence, Nangong Sheng!
In the South Region, even a collateral lineage of the Nangong aristocratic family possessed an extremely noble status. As such, it’s naturally easy for them to possess a mansion residence as such.
Furthermore, Nangong Sheng was a Nascent Soul!
“What happened for you to lose your cool?”
Nangong Sheng asked indifferently.
“Father, didn’t you ask me to get close to Beiming Xue previously so that I can find an opportunity to find out the secret of the Beiming aristocratic family?” Nangong Yu asked.
“Yes,”
Nangong Sheng nodded. “However, that girl, Beiming Xue, offended Dongfang Zhi and has already lost her Golden Core, turning into a cripple. You can’t get too close to her anymore.”
“That’s right. Earlier on, I brought three servants with me to Beiming Town because I wanted to teach Beiming Xue a lesson. However…”
Nangong Yu paused for a moment and grit his teeth with a hateful expression. “She actually attacked and killed my three Foundation Establishment servants!”
“Furthermore, she ripped my spirit beast mount, the Emerald Blood Leopard, into two!”
Nangong Sheng frowned.
Nangong Yu continued, “That’s not all, father. That b*tch even snapped the supreme-grade flying sword you gave me into two barehanded!”
“Hmm?”
This time round, even Nangong Sheng’s expression changed slightly.
She could break supreme-grade spirit weapons barehanded?
What sort of power was that?
Although he was a Nascent Soul, he might not be able to do it with his body either!
“To think that she can release such strength despite her shattered Golden Core. Could it be…”
A glint flashed through Nangong Sheng’s eyes as though he was in deep thought.
Nangong Yu asked, “Father, what do you mean?”
“It might be because of the secret guarded by the Beiming aristocratic family that caused Beiming Xue to rise again!”
Nangong Sheng deduced.
Nangong Yu could not believe it. “I heard that Beiming Xue has been cultivating the Martial Dao for the past year or so. Could it be because of it?”
“Impossible!”
Nangong Sheng shook his head. “There are countless people who cultivate the Martial Dao. Which of them ever produced such power? Furthermore, it’s only been slightly more than a year.”
“Unless Dao Lord Desolate Martial is resurrected, who else can cultivate the Martial Dao to such an extent? Fufu.”
Nangong Sheng sneered.
Right then, a green-robed figure appeared in Nangong Yu’s mind. “Father, a strange person appeared at Beiming Xue’s side a year ago.”
“He doesn’t look like he’s from Beiming Town nor is he a cultivator. He looks sickly. Yet, he’s still around when I went to Beiming Town this time round! I have a feeling that there’s something strange about him.”
“That’s good as well. I’ll make a trip to Beiming Town personally,”
Nangong Sheng said coldly, “Whoever it is, strange or not, I’ll kill them all!”
“Father, be careful then,”
Nangong Yu reminded worriedly.
Nangong Sheng smiled gently. “Don’t worry, as a Nascent Soul, I don’t believe that I can’t take down a little girl!”
“Wait at home for my news. I’ll bring that girl back and let you punish her as you wish!”
“Thank you, father!”
Nangong Yu was delighted.
…
Beiming Town.
Beiming Xue looked at the corpses in the courtyard for a long time in silence. There was a hint of worry on her face.
A moment later, she turned around and looked at Su Zimo, saying softly, “Mr. Su, why don’t you head out and hide first? I’m worried that Nangong Yu will make a comeback and you might be implicated.”
“Since you’re worried, why did you still let him go?”
Su Zimo asked.
Beiming Xue smiled bitterly and shook her head.
She had no choice.
If Nangong Yu was killed, Nangong Yu’s father would definitely descend in Beiming Town. At that time, it would be a disaster for her and Beiming Ao!
There would at least be a chance if she let Nangong Yu off.
She was betting that Nangong Yu would keep his promise and not look for her again.
“It’s fine, you don’t have to worry about me,”
Su Zimo smiled gently and returned to his room. He assumed a lotus position and closed his eyes to rest.
The night was dark and the wind was strong.
The entire courtyard was silent.
All of a sudden!
Su Zimo opened his eyes, as though a bolt of lightning flashed through the darkness!
“Some people are truly ignorant,”
He muttered softly.
He could not use his Essence Spirit, but his vision, hearing and other five senses were still present. They were extremely sharp and could make out any activity thousands of kilometers away!
In the room at the side, Beiming Xue was still resting with her eyes closed. She did not notice anything.
However, Su Zimo had already noticed that in the forest hundreds of kilometers away from Beiming Town, three Nascent Souls were speeding over on their flying swords!
He glanced at Beiming Xue.
Beiming Xue had just formed her Blood Qi Golden Core and was most likely going to die against a Nascent Soul.
Furthermore, there were three of them!
Su Zimo leaped down from the bed silently like a feather.
Although he could not use his Dharmic powers or spirit consciousness, the power of this Green Lotus True Body was not to be underestimated as well!
He passed through the courtyard and with a single leap, strode out of Beiming Town without alarming anyone.
…
“Old master, Beiming Town is about 250 kilometers away.”
Among the three Nascent Souls, apart from Nangong Sheng, the remaining two were servants of the Nangong aristocratic family and had already grown to the Nascent Soul realm.
An old servant said, “Old master, there’s actually no need for you to follow us. It’s just dealing with a little girl. There’s no need for us to mobilize such a large force. We’ll just take action and bring her back.”
“No worries,”
Nangong Sheng said, “I was in deep thought and decided to come out for a walk. Furthermore, I heard from Yu’er that Beiming Xue has some strange green-robed man with her. I’m going to take a look.”
Nangong Sheng and the other two rode on their flying swords and chatted.
“Eh?”
Right then, an old servant frowned and pointed into the distance. “Why is a green-robed man standing there in the middle of the night? I wonder what he’s doing out there.”
The moment the old servant said that, he realized something.
Green-robed man?
Nangong Sheng seemed to have sensed something and looked over.
Far away, a green-robed man stood with a yellowish face. He looked sickly without any aura of spirit energy, like a mortal who had yet to recover from a serious illness.
This green-robed man was exactly as Nangong Yu had described!
