<strong>Trantor: </strong>As Studios <strong>Editor: </strong>As Studios
It was an indisputable fact that one’s life was given by his parents. In that case, what could be more unbelievable than your own parents taking your life?
Blood gushed out from Nangong Mu’s chest and painted his chest red. His face was twisted due to the intense pain and the chilliness of the dagger.
However, for some reason, Nangong Mu seemed like he couldn’t feel much of the pain from his body and the chilliness of the dagger.
That was because those were nothingpared to his emotional pain and shock.
“Mu’er, I’m so sorry, so sorry... If you want to hate me, then you should. I would definitely pay back what the Nangong family has owed you in the next life!” After Nangong Tian said that, his eyes werepletely filled with tears.
However, his hands never stopped. They were performing a series of weird movements at an extraordinary speed. He was also murmuring a bunch of iprehensible words, and it seemed like he was performing some sort of extremely ancient ritual.
It was solemn and archaic.
However, it was also extremely heavyhearted.
This was overly shocking and took ce too quickly. No one had expected or even thought of the possibility that Nangong Tian would kill Nangong Mu at this moment.
Even a monster would not hurt its own children!
Furthermore, he was his biological son, whom he had spent 20 years raising, and even managed to be a Sage!
The surrounding disciples werepletely dumbfounded by this scene. No one could believe what they saw, or the fact that Nangong Tian had killed Nangong Mu.
Even Yan Yin was left frozen on the spot.
That was because even him, someone who was known as the wielder of Enma’s seal, couldn’t possibly imagine such a thing happening.
Cruel?
No!
Cruel wasn’t enough to describe this. How heartless did someone have to be to murder his own son?
Be it the surrounding disciples, Yan Yin, or the disciples of the Five Sects of the Holy Region, everyone was left ckjawed by this shocking scene.
At this moment, they heard a heartrending scream. It contained a heartfelt pain that could seemingly tear the sky apart.
“Brother Mu!!!” As they heard that voice, a figure went through the air in a strange way and reached Nangong Tian almost instantly.
A bloody light was revolving around the figure crazily. The transparent Wuwei Sword was tainted with an intense smell of blood and its tip was pointed at Nangong Tian’s throat.
“Nangong Hao?!” Yan Yin’s expression changed. He was visibly astonished that Nangong Tian went past him and appeared in front of Nangong Tian directly.
Although he was definitely stunned by Nangong Tian’s action and that resulted in a poor judgment of his surroundings, it didn’t mean that he could have stopped Nangong Hao’s strange movements if all these things hadn’t happened.
“Nangong Tian, I’m going to kill you!” Nangong Hao was obviously not going to notice Yan Yin standing behind him because his eyes had bepletely red as they were filled with the bloody light.
“Hao’er, are you going to kill your father? Haha... No, you won’t kill me because you know what I am doing!” Nangong Tian looked at Nangong Hao as tears fell from his eyes. However, his hand movements didn’t stop. They were still changing rapidly.
“Why? Why are you so cruel!” Nangong Hao’s body was trembling, and his hand had already turned white because he was gripping Wuwei Sword too tightly.
“You know why! If I don’t do that, are you willing to remove the fruit of the Tree of God from Mu’er’s body yourself?” Nangong Tian was also trembling.
“No, that’s wasn’t the n. The n was for me to swallow the fruit after Ie out. You told me that you wouldn’t drag brother Mu into this. Why did you make him do it!”
“There wasn’t any time left. I didn’t know if you could get out. I have to n for the worst case scenario even if there is only a tiny chance of that happening. I can’t bet the entire Nangong family’s fate on you. I’m the head of Nangong family, so I must follow the safest n!”
“Does that mean that you can sacrifice brother Mu’s life and treat him like a ‘container’?!”
“Mu’er did it out of his own free will. I wouldn’t force him if he didn’t want to...”
“Nangong Tian, you’re so cruel. You disregarded the life of your own son over the fate of the Nangong family. You don’t deserve, you don’t deserve to be brother Mu’s father!”
“Yes, I don’t deserve it, but what about you? How many years have we waited to carry out this n? Eight elders have sacrificed their lives to give you the chance to change your fate, but what have you done? I asked you to steal Chi Guyan’s Gifted Bloodline, but you stole Tian Xing’s instead!”
Nangong Tian sounded agitated as well. After a brief pause, he continued, “Alright, since you’ve already done it, I don’t have any objections. However, you were supposed to return to Nangong family and begin carrying out our n right after you got out. Since Mu’er had already devoured the Tree of God’s fruit, why wouldn’t you take it from him? If you took it from him, the worst that could happen is Mu’er losing his consciousness and bing a cripple, but he won’t die. If it wasn’t because of you, our n would have been set in motion a long time ago. It was you who insisted on participating in this Heaven Alliance Meeting. You didn’t care about our ancestors and said that this is a chance, and if we could be the ruler of the Holy Region, it’d be the same as taking back what the Nangong family owned. I followed your will again, but what results did you produce? It was you who forced me to do this, and you should be responsible for Mu’er’s death. Swallow it, this is our family’sst hope!”
After Nangong Tian said that, a pure white radiance shot out of Nangong Mu’s body and condensed into a flower in the air instantly. A fruit was lying in the center of the flower, exuding a chilling air. There were exceptionallyplicated golden ripples carved onto the fruit.
“Ah!!!” Nangong Hao jolted after hearing Nangong Tian and let out a heartrending scream again. Crimson tears fell from his bloody eyes.
The surrounding disciples were once again stunned by this scene. They didn’t really understand the meaning of Nangong Tian and Nangong Hao’s conversation.
However...
That didn’t mean that they couldn’tprehend anything at all.
Nangong family was nning to do something, and it definitely wasn’t something insignificant because they actually nned to change fate and devour Chi Guyan’s Gifted Bloodline.
If Nangong Hao hadn’t pointed his sword at Nangong Tian, they might have remained oblivious to this forever.
‘What’s the n?!’
‘No, we can’t let Nangong family seed no matter what the n is!”
This time, almost all the disciples looked towards Nangong Tian and Nangong Hao with a heartfelt hostility.
“Hao’er, do you see that? There is no way back for us anymore. If you don’t do this, we would be the entire world’s enemy. Do you really want to wait for the whole Nangong family to be exterminated before you are willing to do it?” Nangong Tian nced around with misery in his eyes.
However, there was madness behind the misery. It was the sort of madness that would make a person cut off his own escape and fight to his death.
“Brother Mu, don’t worry, I won’t let you die, I’d definitely not let you die!” Nangong Hao jolted once again before he kneeled down before Nangong Mu. Then, he suddenly turned towards Nangong Tian and said, “I want brother Mu to live, I want him to live and witness everything!”
“Ok, as long as you swallow the Tree of God’s fruit, I won’t pull this dagger out. I also promise that Mu’er would be alive to witness everything that would happen today!” Nangong Tian nodded seriously.
“Don’t even think about it!” A voice interrupted Nangong Tian at this moment. Then, an angle-like w grabbed towards the white flower floating in the air.
It was Yan Yin.
After hearing the conversation between Nangong Tian and Nangong Hao, he immediately decided that he couldn’t let the Nangong family seed no matter what they nned.
However, he didn’t actually manage to grab the fruit of the Tree of God.
That was because he was stopped by another hand which had gripped his wrist like a metal mp. It was so powerful that even he couldn’t break free right away.
Yan Yin was undoubtedly surprised by this.
Although he had roughly figured out that Nangong Tian wasn’t weak, he still couldn’t believe that he was strong enough to stand up to him.
After all...
He was Heaven Dao Pavilion’s Great Elder, at the peak of Sage State, and one of the strongest people in the Holy Region!
“Yan Yin, you can’t get past me!” Nangong Tian stood up firmly between Yan Yin and Nangong Hao.
“I truly didn’t expect the head of Nangong family to hide his true strength so well?!” Yan Yin stared at Nangong Tian intently as his expression changed rapidly.
“Are you still not giving up? Haha, I could tell you right now that you can’t take me down within 50 moves even if you are at the peak of Sage State!” Nangong Tian obviously noticed Yan Yin’s changing expression.
“50 moves? That might not be true!” Yan Yin frowned. Then, ck ripples that looked like a skull appeared on his arm.
Boom!
Nangong Tian’s hand was sted away, but at that split second, Nangong Tian also kicked towards Yan Yin at an extraordinary speed.
It was too close.
Even Yan Yin couldn’tpletely avoid his kick at such a close distance.
Boom! Following a powerful impact, Yan Yin was sted away by five steps. It was already toote after he stood firm and wanted to charge towards the flower again.
That was because Nangong Hao had already grabbed the fruit. It chilling aura covered his arm with ayer of frost.
Gulp! Nangong Hao swallowed the fruit without any hesitation. At the meantime, dozens of figures rushed out and instantly surrounded Nangong Hao.
Buzz! That was the sound of the aura of heaven and earth being actuated. Then, an extremely chilling aura started spreading from Nangong Hao’s body towards the surroundings
It was like the ocean waves. Layer byyer, the chilling aura spread towards the surrounding area. It was snow-white and transparent, but also chilling and vast.
The surrounding disciples started falling back rapidly because of the violent aura. However, as they retreated, they discovered a ring of silver ripple beneath their feet. It was extremelyplicated and there were eight iprehensible symbols on top of it.
The Blood Offering Illustration!
However, it was silver!
At this moment, Nangong Hao’s body floated into the air. A silver flowery symbol appeared on his forehead. There were eight symbols around the flowery symbol that seemed to have connected with the silver flower in the center.
A shadow of the gigantic tree appeared in the sky once again. However, it was different aspared to Nangong Mu’s summoning just now. There wereplicated ripples on the gigantic shadow which seemed to have formed a massive cycle with the silver ripples on the ground. It looked like a cycle between heaven and earth.
Rumble! The ground trembled.
The gigantic tree which waspletely formed by ice grew out of the ground once again. Theplicate ripples covered its leaves and branches.
The gigantic grew to 33 meters tall almost in an instant, and it didn’t seem to be stopping. It kept growing towards the sky as if it was going to prate the heave.
Pieces of snowkes fell from the sky.
It was a beautiful view, but no one had the mood to enjoy them because everyone sensed a growingly ominous feeling.
“What is that?!”
“What exactly is Nangong family’s n?”
“Why are the ripples beneath our feet... Completely identical to those on this tree?”
Countless questions surfaced in the disciples’ minds. However, no one could answer them because they had never seen anything like this recorded in historical documents before.
However, these questions didn’t keep them upied for too long because they were no longer of any concern.
That was because the disciples suddenly felt their power being absorbed by the ripples beneath their feet rapidly.
This sudden change caught them off guard and even left them a little terrified.
Of course, this was just as unbelievable to someone that had copsed on the ground. Hence, that ‘someone’ who had passed out on the ground suddenly opened his eyes.
“Are you serious? I just dropped to the ground and didn’t even finish feigning... My death, and a storm is alreadying?!” Fang Zhengzhi looked at Nangong Hao who was floating in the sky, and he could hardly ept what was happening. After all, this change was so sudden that he didn’t even have the time to check if Nangong Mu had actually died.
