Chapter 136: Underground Palace
Xiao Chen gave Nangong Tian and Nangong Ling each, and the meaning was already very simple and clear.
Nangong Ling, who received the signal, immediately said: "Guaer, Brother Xiao is right. This time the family is so mysterious. It seems that the mission is very important. If you want to be with Brother Xiao in the future, don't mess around now. Wait for Brother Xiao to come back at home, don't let him worry about you."
With a deep sigh, Nangong Tian felt very uncomfortable, because he has always liked Guoer since he was a child, but he knew very clearly that Guoer did not like him. This is also the real reason why he has never confessed.
Since I learned that the person Guoer really likes was Xiao Chen, Nangong Tian has given up on pursuing Guoer, because truly liking someone is not to have her, but to hope she is happy. This is the real love. Obviously, Nangong Tian did it, but he was a little unhappy in his heart.
"Guo'er, Brother Xiao is going to do the most important thing. If you go, you can only make Brother Xiao worry about you. There is nothing else. You have to think about whether to go or stay, and decide for yourself."
When he heard the three men say everything, his purpose was exactly the same, and he would not let himself go. Nangong Guoer muttered a little, with a very unhappy expression and said, "If you don't go, don't go. What's the big deal? Brother Xiao, you have to promise me that no matter what happens, you must come back safely, because I will wait for you to come back at home."
There was a warm current in my heart. From childhood to adulthood, no one has ever been so kind to him, and he has never felt it. What's going on with warmth? But at this moment, he felt something from Guoer, that is, like it, this kind of thing is very warm.
Nangong Tian and Nangong Ling were very aware of each other and left space for the two of them. After all, when the day dawn tomorrow, Xiao Chen would leave Xingyao City. I know when he would come back. Give them more time to warm up, which is also the last thing they can do for them.
All night, Xiao Chen and Guo'er relied on each other tightly, and they didn't talk to each other, just looking at the stars in the sky.
The Nangong family is in a secret room.
Nangong Chao found Nangong Hao but did not inform the other sons. The reason was very simple, because among the many descendants, Nangong Hao was the most capable. Not only was his personal strength strong, but he was not comparable to other brothers and sisters in other aspects. It was precisely because of this that Nangong Chao prepared to let his most proud son inherit his mantle.
"Dad, are you asking me for something?"
Nangong Hao had already guessed in his heart that what his father and himself said this time was probably a bit extraordinary, because it was enough to just talk about it outside, and there was no need to enter the secret room. But today, my father only found himself and was talking in the secret room, which is conceivable.
The son he loved the most was dead. Until now, Nangong Chao was still a little relieved. Fortunately, this incident happened, which changed the focus of the old man.
Nodded, Nangong Chao was very excited and said, "Haoer, you don't know anything. I just came back from a family meeting. It turned out that ten days ago, the family's spies discovered an underground palace in Hengshui Prefecture. It is said that there was a corpse of a qilin and a peerless treasure in the underground palace. The family has decided to fight for control of the underground palace."
It was indeed good news. Nangong Hao was also very excited when he heard the news that his father said, because he knew very well what the corpse of the Qilin in the underground palace represented.
Qilin, the most powerful existence in the world, even the Phoenix clan, the Dragon clan and other super races cannot be compared with the Qilin clan. Only some powerful spirit beasts from ancient times, such as the Space Void Dragon, can be compared with the Qilin clan.
Just as in the cemetery space, Xiao Chen not only did not receive the inheritance of the Red Night War God and the Demon, but also wanted to suppress the ancient world, so he forgot to ask for three drops of Qilin blood from the Red Night War God. After Xiao Chen came back, he was depressed for a month. No matter what, three drops of Qilin blood could help him improve one to three levels. What is this concept?
"Dad, besides the family, have any other families found this secret?"
"I don't know, but one thing is certain, that is, the secret of the underground palace. Some big families in Hengshui Prefecture have learned it, but the news is kept too tight and has not been leaked yet. If it weren't for our confidants in the Dahe Sect and that relationship, the family wouldn't have received the news."
"So that's it. It seems that this battle for control of the underground palace is another bloody storm. Dad, Qilin is full of good things. Not to mention peerless treasures, just the corpse of Qilin is the most powerful treasure in the world, we must get it."
"I know what you think, but this matter is a bit troublesome. The head of the family said just now that two-thirds of the family's killers will be sent to Hengshui Prefecture tomorrow morning. As for whether we will pass, it is still an unknown number."
“Why?”
Nangong Hao was really a little confused. Fighting for control of the empire should be a big family or a sect. The matter between masters and the killers of the family are generally not strong. It is almost the same to engage in underground activities. If they fight for control of the underground palace, it seems that they are still far behind. It is precisely because of this that Nangong Hao couldn't understand why the family should do this.
"Haoer, the family's plan is actually very simple. It is just that it doesn't want to alarm the snake, because the underground palace is located in the mirror of Hengshui Prefecture. If it is in Dalian Prefecture, we may not be afraid, but Hengshui Prefecture is never the place where we decide. Once we are besieged by major sects in Hengshui Prefecture, the consequences will be unimaginable."
In an instant, Nangong Hao understood the meaning of the family. After all, the corpse of the Qilin in the underground palace was too tempting. I believe that no matter which family it was, the entire martial arts continent could not resist this temptation. The reason why the super sects who discovered the underground palace in Hengshui Prefecture did not disclose the news was that they did not want the forces of other states to intervene. This is like the principle that when Dalian Prefecture discovered the cemetery space and did not allow other states to intervene.
There is a lot of repulsion between states, especially in this case. If the major sects in Hengshui Prefecture know that the Nangong family wants to interfere in the underground palace, they will definitely join forces to deal with the Nangong family. By then, the Nangong family will suffer a great loss.
"This time the family sent murderers to the next place, just to let these murderers investigate the situation and route, and see how they can enter the underground palace without knowing it, without being besieged by the major sects in Hengshui Prefecture."
"Dad, are these killers OK?"
"Okay, what was our ten major families jointly founded Tianlang Pavilion? It was to be useful one day. Otherwise, why would a group of people with low strength spend so many gold coins every day? Is it because the family has nothing to do when they are full?"
Whenever he mentioned Tianlang Pavilion, for some reason, Nangong Hao found that his father would be unhappy. He still dared not ask more questions.
"Dad, the underground palace has the corpse of the qilin. Since it has been confirmed, I would like to ask my dad to apply for a few places. I also want to join in the fun."
Nangong Hao knew very clearly that in this way, the family would not let everyone go to Hengshui Prefecture. After all, this matter is very dangerous. If all go, once the entire army is wiped out, wouldn’t the Nangong family be completely finished? So the quota seems very important. This depends on the individual’s status in the family, and it is not something that anyone who wants to go.
This is like, given his status in the Nangong Hao in the Nangong family, not to mention fighting for a quota, even if he has no say, his father is completely different. It is precisely because of this that such a good opportunity is in front of him. If he doesn't seize it carefully, Nangong Hao will feel sorry for him.
"Haoer, are you really going? You have to know that Hengshui Prefecture is not the family territory. Once it is leaked, your life will be worrying."
"Dad, I know that after Fu'er dies, I will have no worries. Since that's the case, it's better to take risks. Maybe I'll be lucky and get the corpse of the Qilin in the underground palace. Then I will have the chance to become a peerless strongman."
"Okay, I can only try my best to help you, because this time, the family clearly stipulates that everything must be followed by the family's arrangements and are not allowed to make any decisions without making any decisions. Otherwise, the minor ones will be expelled from the family, and the serious ones will be killed directly without any consideration."
Nangong Hao knew that the family attached great importance to the underground palace in Hengshui Prefecture this time. After all, the corpse of the Qilin is just enough to shock the entire continent. If the news is leaked, what would happen.
The next morning, Xiao Chen and a hundred people gathered in the backyard of the Nangong family. There was no one except an old man, but it was this old man. Xiao Chen sensed something was wrong at first sight. According to Zijin Shenlong, this old man would actually be a real master of the Doudi.
What is the mission this time? Why did the Doudi be sent? Xiao Chen had a premonition that the mission of the Nangong family sending themselves to Hengshui Prefecture this time is not easy at all.
Cough cough, cough a few times, the old man was wearing a gray-blue long gown, uneven cheeks, and his face was full of folds. He spoke thick and powerfully. If he didn't look at his appearance and listened to the sound alone, he would never think that he looked like an old man in his sixties or seventies. However, the fighter cannot be compared with ordinary people. If he was an ordinary person, living to the age of seventies or eighties would be enough. But for the fighter, especially the Doudi, who was seventies or eighties, was just the beginning.
"I am the leader of your mission. You can call me a madman or a mad old man. Everything is good. Follow me, I have no other requirements. I just need one thing. I hope you remember it firmly, that is, how many people are going to Hengshui Prefecture now and how many people will come back in the future. Do you understand?"
"I understand," more than a hundred people shouted, their voices like mosquitoes. After all, the killer doesn't like to reveal his identity, and doesn't like to speak loudly. Moreover, the ordinary disciples of the Nangong family didn't know that the family had underground killers said this. The madman seemed very satisfied. He nodded, said, and followed him first.
Hundreds of people left the Nangong family in an orderly manner. As soon as they walked out of the city gate, the madman issued the first order. From now on, hundreds of people would turn into white forces and go to Hengshui Prefecture separately. The meeting place was the territory of Hengshui Prefecture. Although they didn't know what the madman was doing, none of the hundreds said or asked more.
Although the people trained by Tianlang Pavilion are not very strong, they are all selected by killers and assassins. The qualities of hundreds of people are not something that ordinary families can possess.
Xiao Chen didn't want to travel with hundreds of other people. Now he was very happy to be able to go to Hengshui Prefecture alone. However, before the madman left, he had already given them a death order, that is, he had to arrive at the territory of Hengshui Prefecture within ten days, otherwise he would be killed.
Everyone is actually very afraid of madman, because madman is very famous in the Nangong family and has a similar status to that of the Nangong Dynasty, but he is more respected than Nangong Chao. This is not to say how good the madman is and how powerful it is. The reason why madman is highly respected is because madman has been protecting his family for so many years, and he almost lost his life for the sake of his family.
