“Ximen Ze, Dongfang Yi, what are you guys doing?!”
When Nangong Ling saw that the situation was not right, he slammed the table and stood up, hollering.
Liu Hanyan and Ru Xuan stood up as well, frowning.
Earlier on, they could still sit by even when Dongfang Zhi and Ximen Jingrui ganged up on Beiming Xue. After all, she was Su Zimo’s eldest disciple and there was no danger even against two Golden Cores.
But now that five Nascent Souls of the Ximen aristocratic family had attacked, the situation was completely different!
This was blatantly bullying Beiming Xue; they were taking advantage of the fact that the Beiming aristocratic family had no backing!
“Nangong Ling, let me ask you what you want to do!”
Dongfang Yi pointed at Beiming Xue with a cold expression and said frostily, “That sl*t is ruthless to cripple a paragon of our Dongfang aristocratic family. If I let her leave, our Dongfang family will be disgraced!”
“The Dongfang family sure is overbearing!”
Liu Hanyan sneered, “Why? People from the Dongfang family are allowed to cripple the Golden Cores of others while others are not allowed to do the same?”
“My Dongfang family is an ancient aristocratic family that has been passed down till this day and is comparable to the super sects of the immortal, Buddhist and fiend sects. So what if we’re this overbearing?!”
Dongfang Yi’s aura was domineering as he shouted, “Everyone in the Beiming clan, a declining aristocratic family, are all ants in my eyes! Today, Beiming Xue, that sl*t, is not the only one who will die. All the Beiming clansmen shall die with her!”
“Dongfang Yi, Ximen Ze, I advise you guys to stop as soon as possible!”
Nangong Ling said slowly with a grim expression.
After all, he had known the two of them when he was young. Furthermore, the three aristocratic families were on the same side—he was truly reminding them out of goodwill!
That was because no one knew better than him.
Nobody knew what sort of a terrifying person was hidden in the crowd beneath.
That was an existence comparable to a primordial taboo!
Right now, that taboo was still sleeping with his eyes closed.
Once that taboo was awakened, it would definitely be earthshaking the moment he opened his eyes—nobody could withstand it!
The entire Ximen villa would be overturned!
However, Nangong Ling’s persuasion only caused Ximen Ze and Dongfang Yi to sneer.
“Nangong Ling, before this, I ignored the fact that your Nangong family was protecting the Beiming clan,”
Ximen Ze said coldly, “Now, you want to break off with our two aristocratic families because of a sl*t from the Beiming clan?”
“Nangong Ling, let me tell you, this is the territory of Ximen villa. This is my territory!”
Ximen Ze had a dignified gaze and exuded a tremendous might as he said slowly, “I don’t care how strong you are after going out to train, Nangong Ling! Today, even if you’re a True Dragon, you’ll have to coil yourself up!”
The crowd was also in chaos.
Nobody expected the commanders of the three aristocratic families to enter a stand-off because of Beiming Xue!
Ximen Ze’s words were extremely decisive without any room for negotiation.
If Nangong Ling persisted, he would have to fight head-on against the two aristocratic families!
Furthermore, Ximen Ze’s words were definitely not a threat.
This was the territory of the Ximen aristocratic family after all.
There were definitely Dharma Characteristic experts hidden in this villa!
If the Nangong and Ximen aristocratic families were to clash, those experts would definitely appear and the Nangong aristocratic family would definitely not be a match.
Nangong Ling’s forehead was filled with sweat and he looked troubled.
Right then, Liu Hanyan secretly tugged at Nangong Ling’s clothes and looked into the crowd.
Nangong Ling looked over instinctively.
The crowd below was in chaos.
However, among the crowd, there was a green-robed man who was calm and composed. His eyes were closed, as though he was indifferent to everything around him.
Even when Nascent Souls of the Ximen and Dongfang aristocratic families appeared, he did not open his eyes.
Ru Xuan sent a voice transmission, “Strange, didn’t Granduncle-Master say that no one is allowed to bully Beiming Xue? Why doesn’t he seem anxious?”
“Let’s wait and see first. It won’t be too late to act by the time Granduncle-Master gives any instructions,”
Liu Hanyan sent a voice transmission with her spirit consciousness.
Nangong Ling nodded and sat back slowly.
On a stone platform on the other side.
A hint of panic flashed through Beiming Xue’s eyes as well against the five Nascent Souls of the Ximen aristocratic family.
She would not be afraid even against 50 Golden Cores.
However, she was currently surrounded by five Nascent Souls!
Before she cultivated the Martial Dao, she was only a Golden Core.
Even if she cultivated the Martial Dao, or even reached the Eighth Transformation, her cultivation was only equivalent to the Golden Core realm.
There was a major cultivation realm difference between the Nascent Soul and Golden Core realm!
To Beiming Xue, that major cultivation realm was an insurmountable chasm!
She had never fought against Nascent Souls before, let alone the fact that she was surrounded by five of them now—she could not help but feel a little nervous.
Instinctively, she looked towards Su Zimo.
He stood in the crowd with his eyes closed, seemingly oblivious to everything.
Beiming Xue realized that she could only rely on herself to resolve the situation!
Naturally, Su Zimo would not attack.
As a cultivator, this was a situation that Beiming Xue would definitely face in the cultivation world in the future. In fact, things might be even more dangerous at that time!
It was impossible for Su Zimo to be by her side all the time.
The current situation was a test for Beiming Xue.
If she could pass this test, she would be able to grow rapidly!
Furthermore, in Su Zimo’s heart, the difference of a major cultivation realm was not considered as bullying.
As his eldest disciple, if she could not even deal with this situation, he would have wasted his time teaching her all these years.
On the stone platform.
Bang! Bang!
The entire stone platform quaked violently as the five Nascent Souls of the Ximen aristocratic family descended one after another.
Among the three aristocratic families, the Ximen aristocratic family specialized in body tempering and melee combat.
Zeng! Zeng! Zeng!
The five successors of the Ximen aristocratic family summoned their Destiny Dharmic Weapons, sabers and swords. In a flash, they surrounded Beiming Xue!
At the Nascent Soul realm, one had already cultivated an Essence Spirit and could utilize Dharmic powers.
If it was any other cultivator, they might not have been able to withstand the pressure and would have surrendered.
However, Beiming Xue channeled her blood qi with all her might under the immense pressure. A tsunami sound echoed from her body and her aura surged, rising to its limits!
“Ah!”
She reared her head and howled into the skies. Instead of retreating against the encirclement of five Nascent Souls, she attacked first!
Boom!
Beiming Xue strode forward and charged before a Nascent Soul. She gripped the Heavenly Essence Spear that was shrouded by astral qi and stabbed it towards the person’s head!
“You must have a death wish!”
The person’s expression was cold as he slashed in reverse towards the Heavenly Essence Spear!
Clang!
Sparks flew as the weapons collided!
A look of shock flashed through the person’s eyes.
As a cultivator of the Ximen aristocratic family, his body and bloodline were strong to begin with. Now that he was at the Nascent Soul realm and was refining his body and bloodline with Dharmic powers, it was even more terrifying.
Not only that, he had the help of his Destiny Dharmic Weapon!
In his opinion, he could defeat Beiming Xue with a single slash.
He could kill her with a second slash right after!
However, he truly had not expected that he would feel an extremely terrifying power surge into his body through his saber the moment they clashed!
His body and bloodline could not withstand the ferocity of that power!
