Chapter 679: What about people?
"Wait a minute, that's Nangong Shi!"
Zhang Jing was stunned for a moment and recognized the old man in crane robes in front of him. The next moment, his expression suddenly changed, "The aura of this old man... the ninth level of the Mysterious Spirit Realm! How is that possible!"
Not only Zhang Jing, but all the major forces present also sensed that the strong spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from Nangong Shi's body were clearly from the ninth level of Xuanling Realm.
"Did this old guy get some adventure?"
In the direction of Lingdan Pavilion, the pavilion master Ling Xiao frowned slightly.
"I heard that Nangong Shi's son, Nangong Jian, has been designated as a disciple by Lei Yu Sect. Could it be that Nangong Shi's skyrocketing cultivation level is related to this?"
Others are speculating.
"The person who just yelled at me to get out is you, kid!"
Nangong Shi put his hands behind his back and looked down at Lin Xiao coldly. His eyes were like looking down at an ant.
"Old guy, you finally came out and stopped being a coward."
Lin Xiao responded indifferently.
As soon as this statement came out, the whole place was in uproar.
"Did I hear wrongly? What did Lin Xiao call Nangong Shi? He is so timid, he must be too courageous!"
"Although Lin Xiao is strong in combat, Nangong Shi came out of seclusion and is now at the ninth level of the Xuanling Realm. Even Lin Xiao may not be able to defeat him. Where did he get the courage to speak like this!"
"It's over, it's over. Lin Xiao is so rampant and will pay a heavy price soon."
Everyone below was talking a lot, and they all thought that Lin Xiao's move was unwise and that he should escape immediately.
Even Zhang Jing, Ling Xiao and others who had just arrived had strange expressions on their faces and were stunned. They didn't understand what Lin Xiao's confidence allowed him to talk to Nangong Shi like this.
In the void, Nangong Shi narrowed his eyes, and a hint of murderous intent flashed through his deep eyes, "Boy, after a year of not seeing each other, you have gained a lot of courage. Come here, capture this person for me and give him the death penalty!"
However, as soon as the words fell, the surroundings fell silent.
Nangong Shi frowned and looked around, "Where are the people? Where did they die?"
"Report to the head of the family!"
At this time, a deacon from the Royal Academy below clasped his fists and shouted, "All the gray-robed elders, white-robed elders, and red-robed elders have been killed by Lin Xiao."
"What!"
As soon as these words came out, not only Nangong Shi, but also Zhang Jing, Ling Xiao and other forces who had just arrived, their eyes widened with expressions of disbelief.
"Is this true?"
Nangong Shi frowned, as if he couldn't believe it.
"This is indeed the case. Not long before you left seclusion, Lin Xiao shouted in the sky above the imperial city. All the Nangong elders who came out were killed by him, leaving no trace of their bodies."
As he spoke, the Nangong family's deacon's voice trembled. Thinking of that terrible scene, I feel a little scared now.
"I beg the head of the family to avenge the dead elders and kill this boy as a warning to others!"
"I beg the head of the family to take action, kill Lin Xiao, and avenge the dead elders!"
For a moment, many disciples of the Royal Academy knelt down and roared in unison, and some of them's eyes turned red.
Many of those dead elders were their mentors and had the kindness to reinvent themselves, so they naturally hated Lin Xiao deeply.
Furthermore, Lin Xiao openly shouted in the imperial city and provoked the majesty of the Nangong family. This is an inescapable death penalty. Lin Xiao must die!
Among the people who made requests, two figures stood out.
One of the young men was Nangong Yan. At this moment, he was staring at Lin Xiao in the sky, and the murderous intent in his eyes was so strong that he could not get rid of it.
Why?
Why did Lin Xiao's strength increase to such an extent in just one year? How could there be such a monster in the world, and yet this person had a sworn hatred against him.
Not long ago, the scene where Lin Xiao killed the elders of the Nangong family with one sword was still vivid in his mind.
Nangong Yan was filled with hatred and jealousy, wishing that the thunder from the sky would strike Lin Xiao to death.
At the same time, he felt even more fear and jealousy, afraid that Lin Xiao would seek revenge on him. Now, killing Lin Xiao would be like squeezing an insect to death.
If Lin Xiao is not dead, he will feel uneasy!
On the other side, a girl in purple clothes next to Nangong Yan also clenched her fists and stared at the figure in the sky, her face a little distorted.
This person is none other than Lin Xier.
Now, Lin Xi'er has married Nangong Yan, thinking that with the status and resources of the Nangong family, she can fly on the branches and become a phoenix.
This is indeed the case. As a member of the Nangong family, she now wants to have the wind and rain, and gain both fame and fortune.
But there was always a knot in her heart, that was Lin Xiao.
She thought that she was the one who took advantage of and abandoned Lin Xiao, but Lin Xiao suddenly rose up. The better Lin Xiao became, the greater the blow to her.
Although she had comforted herself countless times, she married into the Nangong family and became a member of the Nangong family. She would have endless wealth, status and resources in the future. Her original choice was always right.
But she knew very well that this was completely self-deception. If she said she had no regrets, it would be a lie.
She even cursed Lin Xiao to die during the selection for the Canglan Ranking.
However, now, not only is Lin Xiao back, but he has also killed the elders of the Nangong family with a defiant appearance. Even she has to admit that she can only look up to such talent and strength.
"It's impossible. I don't believe it. It can't be so strong. It must be fake. It's all fake. It's all an illusion."
