A servant hurriedly burst in, shattering the momentary tranquility.

“Miss, something terrible has happened; there has been a major incident at the residence!”

“What major incident?

You see that I am concentrated on reading, don’t you?”

Nangong Lingya placed the book on the table, stood up, and looked at the servant.

“The Chief Caretaker has just died, killed at the Ten Thousand Cranes Tower; someone murdered him!”

“The murderer claims to be Lu Chuan, and he has declared a challenge to our Nangong family!”

The servant said anxiously.

This incident was indeed a significant event for him, and also a crucial matter for the entire Nangong family.

Upon hearing these words, Nangong Lingya’s expression immediately turned rigid, her anger rising within her, causing her to clench her fists and grit her teeth.

“That bastard Lu Chuan, daring even to lay hands on our Chief Caretaker inside our residence.

Is he seeking death?”

“He completely disregards the Nangong family; this guy is simply too arrogant!”

She angrily threw a punch into the air as if Lu Chuan were standing right in front of her.

“Miss, what should we do?

This guy doesn’t respect us at all, daring to kill such an important person.

He’s utterly lawless and too much!”

“We must immediately rally our forces to deal with this person.

We cannot let him continue to be arrogant.

Otherwise, our Nangong family’s reputation will be utterly ruined!”

“Now, everyone in the city is talking about this, making fun of the Nangong family for facing a formidable opponent and wanting to show us a lesson.”

“If we don’t make a strong enough counterattack, how will we ever be able to stand in Beihe City again?”

The servant spoke in a flurry, evidently eager for revenge.

Nangong Lingya took a deep breath and said through gritted teeth, “I know.

I will find a way to deal with this guy.

We absolutely can’t let him do whatever he wants!”

“But…

what specifically should we do?

That guy seems very powerful, and we can’t defeat him.”

Nangong Lingya helplessly said, “It seems I have no choice but to ask my brother to come out of his seclusion.”

“Ah?

Should we ask Master Nangong Teng to intervene?

He has been in closed-off training for three years; we don’t even know his current strength.”

Nangong Lingya continued, “I visited him recently; he has now broken through to the Martial Saint Realm.”

“At his current level, continuing to train has no meaning; in the Martial Saint Realm, each step forward requires a tremendous sacrifice, and he can’t make progress by staying in seclusion anymore.”

“So, by asking him to come out, we will certainly be able to kill this bastard!”

“I must accomplish the task entrusted by our grandfather smoothly.

If I still have to trouble him, it would mean my strength is inadequate, that my capabilities are too lacking.”

“Now, prepare the carriage.

I need to leave the city to meet my brother.”

“Yes, I will do it right away!”

…

Meanwhile, Lu Chuan and Dongfang Cheng were in the courtyard of the Dongfang Residence.

Lu Chuan sat in the yard, looking up at the peach tree in the courtyard, which was gradually withering.

“It seems like the weather is getting colder.

Autumn is coming.”

Lu Chuan remarked.

Dongfang Cheng nodded slightly, “The further north you go, the colder it gets.

Winter is coming, and another year in the Kunlun Domain is about to pass.

This year, quite a few major events have happened in the Kunlun Domain.”

At this moment, a servant from the Dongfang Residence walked in and quietly approached Dongfang Cheng.

“Young Master, I just received news that a carriage has left Beihe City from the Nangong Residence.

According to analysis, it should be the carriage that Nangong Lingya was in.”

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Cheng couldn’t help but frown and said to the servant, “You may go now.

Report back to me if there’s any news.”

“Understood…”

Dongfang Cheng turned to look at Lu Chuan and said, “Did you hear that?

Nangong Lingya has left the city.

Could she be trying to avoid the limelight?”

“Are you saying she chickened out?

Knowing that I killed Nangong Shang, she fled right away?”

Dongfang Cheng stroked his chin, pondering, “I don’t know, she might be frightened, just avoiding the limelight for now, or perhaps, she has gone to seek reinforcements.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “I still think it’s more likely that she went to seek reinforcements.

She commands the vast power of the Nangong Residence; there’s no reason for her to fear us.

Moreover, we haven’t officially started fighting yet; she wouldn’t just run away without even trying.”

“Then who could she go to for reinforcements?” Dongfang Cheng furrowed his brows, deep in thought, but unable to find an answer.

At this moment, Dongfang Ming walked in.

He carried a tray and quickly walked into the courtyard, approaching the two men and placing the tray on the table.

“Just made these snacks in the dining room, have a taste.”

He said cheerfully and then pulled up a wooden chair to sit down.

“Brother Ming, I just got the news that Nangong Lingya has left the city.

Brother, what do you think she’s up to?”

“Hmm…

I think she’s probably gone to find someone.”

Dongfang Ming quickly arrived at an answer after a brief thought.

“Then, if she left the city to find reinforcements, who could she be looking for?

Nangong Qianying?”

“That’s definitely not likely.

I guess it would be Nangong Teng.”

Dongfang Ming said earnestly.

Dongfang Cheng leaned in closer to Dongfang Ming, curiously asking, “Who is Nangong Teng?”

“He’s her older brother, extremely talented and powerful.

The Nangong family has invested a huge amount of effort to assist his cultivation.”

“His strength is indeed extraordinary.

A few years ago, it was said that he went into seclusion to cultivate and found a Grotto Heavens Blessed Lands.

No one has seen him in recent years; I wonder how he’s doing.”

“If Nangong Lingya did leave the city, it’s highly probable that she went to find him.

Otherwise, there’d be no need for her to leave the city.”

Dongfang Ming analyzed seriously.

Lu Chuan looked at Dongfang Ming and asked, “If that’s the case, then how strong is this Nangong Teng?”

“His strength, a few years ago, had already reached the Martial Emperor Realm.

What realm he is in now, probably only the Nangong family knows.”

“I don’t even know where his seclusion place is, let alone his current realm.”

Dongfang Cheng looked at Lu Chuan and said, “It seems that she really has gone to seek reinforcements.

She wouldn’t be coming to us to beg for mercy.”

Lu Chuan scoffed, “Without bringing out Nangong Qianying, all else is in vain.

We can put aside all these matters and deal with the Sect Master of the Fiery Sword Sect first.”

“No problem; the Fiery Sword Sect is nothing but a die-hard follower of the Nangong family.

Taking them down first will also weaken the power of the Nangong family.”

After finishing, Dongfang Cheng looked at Dongfang Ming and asked, “Brother Ming, what’s the situation with the Fiery Sword Sect?

Do you know much?”
