Chapter 1346 - Uncle Ling
"Who is it?"
Immediately, an old man asked.
Nangong Yu shook his head slowly. "I don't know either. I only know that he wears a set of green robes and his face is yellow, as though he hasn't recovered from a serious illness. He doesn't have any spirit or Dharmic powers and is no different from a mortal."
"He's not a Beiming clansman. He only appeared in Beiming Town around a year ago."
An old man asked puzzledly, "No spirit energy'¦ could he have cultivated the Martial Dao?"
"Impossible,"
Nangong Yu said, "One's body is tempered with the Martial Dao. There's no way they will be as weak as him. Furthermore, even if he cultivated the Martial Dao, he will have to condense an Essence Spirit after forming a core. It's impossible for him not to have Dharmic powers."
"Who cares about him!"
An old man with a fiery temper soared into the air and shouted, "We'll bring people over and capture all the people from Beiming Town. Wouldn't it be over once we interrogate them one by one?!"
"If no one stands out, we'll just kill everyone in Beiming Town at the most!"
Nangong Yu's expression changed slightly as he hollered, "Third Uncle, don't be reckless!"
"What's wrong?!"
The old man raised his brow and shouted, "Although our lineage is a collateral branch of the Nangong family, we're not people that the Beiming Town group can provoke!"
"Your father is dead and his Dao has dissipated. How can you not take revenge for such a deep blood feud?!"
Nangong Yu shook his head. "Third Uncle, calm down and think about it carefully. My father is the strongest in combat in our residence. If he's already dead, we'll only lose our lives if we act rashly!"
The old man's expression changed.
In their lineage, the highest cultivation realms were Nascent Souls.
If the person who killed Nangong Sheng was still in Beiming Town, they would only be courting death if they charged over!
At that thought, the old man felt relieved and lingering fear.
"What should we do then? Are we just going to ignore this matter?"
Another old man was indignant.
"Things will be much easier if we can get experts of the direct descendants to help," The other old man said deeply.
The Nangong aristocratic family had many collateral bloodlines.
There were at least a thousand collateral lineages like Nangong Yu but only one direct lineage!
Therefore, although their surnames were both Nangong, the difference in status between the collateral and direct descendants was immense.
For example, among the collateral descendants of the Nangong aristocratic family, the strongest were only at the Nascent Soul or Void Reversion realm.
If any clansmen of the collateral lineage could cultivate to the Dharma Characteristic realm, they would have a chance to be inducted as the direct descendants!
As for the direct descendants of the three aristocratic families, they had many experts; Dharma Characteristic Dao Lords, Conjoint Body Mighty Figures and even Mahayana Patriarchs!
It was definitely not a fluke that the three aristocratic families could be ranked alongside the super sects of the immortal, Buddhist and fiend sects!
Therefore, Nangong Yu's group was completely insignificant and unassuming among the thousand collateral bloodlines.
Even if they went to the direct descendants of the family clan and recounted the matter, they might not be able to get experts of the direct descendants to come forth.
Nangong Yu pondered for a long time. "Should we put this matter aside for a period of time?"
"I heard that Uncle Ling will be back from the Middle Continent in more than a year. He will bring our clansmen to the Ximen villa to take part in the aristocratic family competition."
"Uncle Ling? What Uncle Ling?"
An old man asked with a frown.
Nangong Yu said in a deep voice, "He's a direct descendant of our Nangong aristocratic family. He was sent to the Middle Continent to cultivate when he was young. I heard that he joined one of the four unorthodox groups and was even ranked on the Golden Core Phenomenon Ranking. He's a true paragon of the Nangong family!"
"You're related to this person?"
The eyes of the few old men lit up.
Anyone who could take part in the aristocratic family competition had to be at the Void Reversion realm at least!
All these years, there had never been a Void Reversion in their group!
Nangong Yu shook his head. "There's no relationship. Father and I only met him once. When he returns, we'll pay him a personal visit and try our luck."
"That's good as well,"
The few old men nodded.
'¦
Time quickly passed.
In the blink of an eye, the aristocratic family competition of the South Region was approaching!
Few clansmen of the three aristocratic families of the South Region would take part in the Golden Core Phenomenon Ranking.
However, among the three aristocratic families, there was also a grand event that was comparable to the Golden Core Phenomenon Ranking'the aristocratic family competition that occurred once every hundred years.
The three aristocratic families would send disciples of the younger generation for two major fights.
The first part was between the Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
The second part was between Golden Cores!
Naturally, the main event was the fight between Golden Cores.
At that time, the paragons and monster incarnates of the three aristocratic families would appear to fight for a high ranking in the aristocratic family competition and gain fame in the South Region as well as earn amazing rewards!
Although the competition was not as massive as the Golden Core Phenomenon Ranking, there would also be many intense clashes between powerful phenomenons and it was extremely exciting.
Every generation, there would be one or two top monster incarnates and peerless geniuses!
This day, three figures rode on auspicious clouds in midair above the territory of the Nangong aristocratic family. A man and two women were walking over slowly, chatting and laughing.
The man wore blue robes and looked dignified. He pointed to the mountains and rivers in the distance as he spoke with fervor and vigor.
One of the women wore white robes that fluttered in the wind. She was agile and had an extremely beautiful appearance. Every single move she made possessed the bearing of a major sect and she pursed her lips from time to time.
The other girl was slender and elegant as well, chattering excitedly as she gestured.
"Hanyan, look over there."
The blue-robed man pointed to a courtyard far away. "That's my residence. There's still a few days before the aristocratic family competition. Let's rest there first."
"Wow, that's huge!"
The lively girl was secretly speechless when she caught sight of the spacious courtyard in the distance.
The courtyard was like a paradise with mountains, rivers and many servants, spirit gardens and beast circles'everything was present!
A look of shock flashed through the eyes of the white-robed woman called Hanyan as she exclaimed, "The power of the three aristocratic families in the South Region is truly massive and unshakable. This courtyard alone is proof of that."
"Actually, in the ancient era, there were four aristocratic families in the South Region. However, an ancient aristocratic family declined and never rose again."
The blue-robed man said casually.
Pausing for a moment, he turned and smiled. "Xuan Xuan, you must be tired. Rest early today."
The lively girl glanced askance at the blue-robed man, pursing her lips as though she could read his mind. "Why? You don't want me to disturb your alone time huh?"
The blue-robed man coughed gently to hide his awkwardness after being exposed.
The white-robed woman spat softly and blushed as well.
The blue-robed man said, "Junior sister, what are you talking about? The reason why I invited you guys to the South Region is so that you can relax. Perhaps you might sense an opportunity to break through to the Void Reversion realm and catch up to my cultivation realm."
"Furthermore, I'll be taking part in the aristocratic family competition of the South Region with the clansmen of the Nangong aristocratic family. At that time, it'll be quite interesting."
"Good, good!"
The lively girl clapped excitedly.
The white-robed girl was much quieter and merely smiled gently.
Before long, the three of them arrived above the residence.
"Eh?"
The lively girl looked down and said, "What are those few people doing? They seem to be from your Nangong family."
