Chapter 837 Nangong Yang and Nangong Yue

"What? Third Sister, do you want to play some games?"

Nangong Yang held a pair of jet-black beads in one hand, while his other hand was behind his back, giving him a deep and thoughtful appearance.

"In the world of cultivation, martial prowess is naturally the best standard to test everything. Since we're already here, it would be a waste of time not to play some martial arts games."

Nangong Yue is very direct, and coupled with her dashing outfit and cool expression, she is even more eye-catching.

Even Nangong Yu didn't dare to feel the slightest bit of jealousy towards her third sister, because the gap between the two of them was too great, and their ages were also very different.

"Hehe, of course there is such a game, but everything has to start somewhere, don't you think?"

Nangong Yang smiled and waved his hand, then looked at everyone else in the room.

"Those still in the Nangong family should all be here by now. If they are all here, then everyone should take their seats."

At this moment, Nangong Yang's words carried the weight of the sacred decrees of the Nangong family disciples.

This is not only because the concept of an elder brother being like a father is extremely deeply rooted in the immortal realm, but also because Nangong Yang has extremely strong combat power and is fully qualified to take charge of the overall situation.

Lin Xuan stood beside Nangong Qingyi, remaining silent and completely at ease, simply following Nangong Qingyi's lead.

Everyone took their seats according to their age.

Nangong Qingyi's position is number thirty-six. In fact, several of her brothers and sisters had already perished before her, but the Nangong family still left their positions vacant as a sign of respect for their deceased brothers and sisters.

"It seems that many people have brought their Daoist partners this time."

Lin Xuan looked around and said with a smile.

Nangong Qingyi nodded slightly.

“Our Daoist partner can naturally be considered half a member of the Nangong family, so of course they can participate in our family banquet. Besides, having our Daoist partner participate together is an extra contribution.”

Nangong Qingyi whispered to Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan nodded slightly; what he said made sense.

"Is everyone here?"

Suddenly, a figure teleported to the scene, appearing to be an elderly man with white hair.

"Greetings, Second Elder!"

Everyone present stood up and respectfully bowed to the old man, even Nangong Yue and Nangong Yang did so in a proper manner.

"Well, the clan leader went to the Hao Ri Alliance three years ago for the Ten Thousand Immortals Assembly, and the Grand Elder is in seclusion, so I, this old man, will take charge of this family banquet on their behalf."

The old man stroked his beard and explained the reason with a smile.

Lin Xuan looked at the old man, and his powerful spiritual perception told him that the old man was not simple. He was not an ordinary Golden Immortal. In terms of the threat he posed to Lin Xuan, he was far superior to Nangong Yang and Nangong Yue.

"This person is Nangong Qiu, the second elder of our Nangong family. He is several generations higher than my father and is one of the true powerhouses of our Nangong family. He had already shown the strength of a sixth-tribulation Golden Immortal 100,000 years ago, and now it is rumored that he has the combat power of a seventh-tribulation Golden Immortal."

Nangong Qingyi immediately explained to Lin Xuan, who was standing to the side.

Lin Xuan nodded slightly. No wonder this old man could make him feel threatened. If he was a sixth-tribulation Golden Immortal, then he certainly had that ability.

"Alright, this old man won't get in your way anymore. This is your family banquet. All of you here are brothers and sisters. You will need to help each other in the future. Only in this way can we carry forward the Nangong family and lead it to a higher level."

"I will obey the Second Elder's words!"

Everyone immediately responded with respect.

Nangong Qiu nodded in agreement, and his figure disappeared from the spot.

Nangong Qiu's visit this time was merely a formality.

After Nangong Qiu left, Nangong Yang and Nangong Yue once again became the focus of the entire event.

"Come on, I suggest we all raise three glasses together to toast the friendship between us brothers and sisters!"

As the eldest brother, Nangong Yang was the first to speak, without hesitation.

Nangong Yue merely glanced at Nangong Yang but said nothing, because Nangong Yue's ambitions had long since ceased to lie within the Nangong family, and she had no desire to get involved in the intricacies of the Nangong family's affairs.

This time, Nangong Yue returned not only because the Nangong family was her home, but also because of the Ten Thousand Immortals Assembly. Apart from that, Nangong Yue rarely returned to the Nangong family.

Nangong Qingyi pulled Lin Xuan to his feet and, following the crowd, raised three cups of wine.

"Hehe, the wine from your Nangong family is quite good. After taking a sip, I can actually feel a considerable amount of Origin Qi drilling into my limbs and bones."

Lin Xuan shifted his body, feeling a warm current flowing through him.

"That's for sure. This wine is extremely expensive to make. Even we can only drink it on such formal occasions. And it requires my eldest brother and third sister to return to the family. We can be said to have benefited from their presence."

Nangong Qingyi winked at Lin Xuan with amusement.

Lin Xuan chuckled to himself, realizing the truth of the matter.

"Brother, I heard that you have become a core disciple in the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace. What kind of place is the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace?"

Before long, the sycophants arrived, albeit late.

The first to stand up was the eleventh son, Nangong Jue. As someone who could thrive in the Nangong family without the support of his maternal clan, he naturally possessed extraordinary abilities.

At least many people enjoy listening to Nangong Jue when he speaks.

The immortal realm remains a society filled with human relationships and social customs.

Nangong Yang is also human, and naturally he is no exception.

Nangong Yang smiled and took a sip of wine when he heard Nangong Jue ask this question.

"Nine Heavens Immortal Palace is one of the dominant forces in the Nine Origin Immortal Domain. There are countless powerful individuals within the palace, and the number of prodigies is as numerous as the stars. The competition is extremely fierce, especially for the position of core disciple. There are only about one hundred such positions in the entire sect. I paid a great price to be able to get there."

In the end, Nangong Yang still managed to give a roundabout way of praising himself.

Hearing this, everyone became even more curious.

"Brother, just how powerful is the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace? We've only heard about it, but we've never seen it."

"Yeah, big brother, just how powerful is your Nine Heavens Immortal Palace?"

"Nine Heavens Immortal Palace, just the name sounds so imposing, its strength must be extraordinary!"

“Big brother, big brother…”

Most people looked at Nangong Yang with admiration.

Nangong Yang really liked the way his younger siblings looked at him with such admiration; it gave him a feeling of returning home in glory.

"Cough cough cough..." Nangong Yang coughed twice, and the scene immediately quieted down. Nangong Yue did not interrupt Nangong Yang.

"My Nine Heavens Immortal Palace is divided into nine mountains and eighty-one branches. The masters of the nine mountains are all Immortal Emperors, and the masters of the eighty-one branches are all Immortal Kings!"

Upon hearing this, even Lin Xuan couldn't help but marvel. This strength was so great that any one of their mountains was several times stronger than the entire Hao Ri Alliance.

After all, the entire Haori Alliance currently only has six Immortal Kings, and Immortal Emperors are even more unthinkable.

However, the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace actually has nine mountain lords at the Immortal Emperor level. And these are just mountain lords. That means the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace has at least ten Immortal Emperors. It is truly terrifying!

The others couldn't help but gasp in shock.

The Nangong family is so powerful because their ancestor was a powerful Immortal King. They are famous throughout the Haori Immortal Domain and are an absolute top-tier force, known as the number one family in the Haori Immortal Domain.

However, compared to the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace, they are now nothing more than ants among ants. If the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace wanted to destroy the Nangong family, it would only take a few words.

"So, brother, now that you've become a core disciple of the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace, don't you have an extremely high status?!"

"Hehe, it's alright. I also became a disciple of the Cloud Vein Master, so it's not bad within the sect."

Nangong Yang's words made everyone even more envious.

Looking at Nangong Yang sitting in the high seat, Chen Yiheng felt like an ant compared to him. Nangong Yang's family had a Celestial King, and he had a master who was also a Celestial King. He was definitely a winner in life!

Nangong Yue frowned slightly as she looked at Nangong Yang's smug expression, and crossed her arms.

Immediately, people who were more inclined to support Nangong Yue stood up.

"Third sister, I've heard that your Eight Immortal Palaces are a powerful, overlord-level force, especially since they produced a Celestial Venerable-level expert during their peak!"

Nangong Yang frowned slightly. In terms of reputation and overall strength, the Eight Immortal Palaces were indeed superior to the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace.

It was because a Celestial Venerable once appeared in the Eight Palaces, named the Eight Palaces Celestial Venerable, who was famous and fought against three Evil Venerables alone, killing one, seriously injuring one, and sealing one, before finally perishing himself.

It was because of this great battle that the reputation of the Eight Immortal Palaces was established. Although the Eight Immortal Venerables perished, many powerful figures were moved by the sacrifices made by the Eight Immortal Palaces for the sake of humanity and helped them.

Therefore, the Eight Immortal Palaces were not destroyed, but instead retained their lineage. Their overall strength has not declined much compared to their peak period. It's just that the Eight Immortal Palaces no longer have an Immortal Venerable.

"Our Eight Immortal Palaces have eight departments and seventy-two halls. Hehe, this place is a bit inferior to the nine mountains and eighty-one veins of our eldest brother's Nine Heavens Immortal Palace."

Nangong Yue smiled as she looked at Nangong Yang.

Nangong Yang remained expressionless, but couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

The eight departments and seventy-two halls of the Eight Immortal Palaces are only for external use, because the Eight Immortal Palaces also have a Divine Dragon Hall that surpasses the eight departments and seventy-two halls. The Divine Dragon Hall is the core of the Eight Immortal Palaces and is the true high-end combat force of the Eight Immortal Palaces.

It is said that to enter the Divine Dragon Palace, one must be at least at the Immortal King realm. As for the palace masters, they are all Immortal Emperor level experts.

"Third Sister is amazing! She actually became a steward of the Eight Immortal Palaces!"

"What level is this butler at? He's incredibly strong!"

"too strong!"

A group of young fans immediately looked at Nangong Yue with stars in their eyes.

Nangong Yue simply smiled and waved her hand, saying:

"The stewards of the Eight Immortal Palaces are nothing special. Above the stewards are elders, and I am still far from being an elder."

Nangong Yue is indeed very capable, and she is clearly doing very well in the Eight Immortal Palaces.

Lin Xuan watched quietly as Brother Nangong and Sister Nangong exchanged words. Clearly, the two were not on good terms, but they were both quite capable and were doing very well in their respective sects.

It must be said that although Nangong Douluo is a womanizer, the quality of his offspring is indeed quite good.

Both Nangong Yue and Nangong Yang have the potential to become Immortal Kings.

Of course, this is only potential. To advance to the Immortal King level, hard work and potential alone are not enough. Luck, talent, and temperament are also indispensable.

"Alright, alright, no need for so much talk. Come on, let's raise our glasses again. Now that everyone's had a good time, let's move on to the next activity!"

Nangong Yang immediately stood up and raised his wine glass to the crowd.

Everyone stopped asking further questions.

After a few rounds of drinks and toasts, the atmosphere became lively.

Seeing that the time was almost right, Nangong Yang smiled and said:

"It has been almost eight hundred years since I left the family last time and returned this time. Besides this Ten Thousand Immortals Assembly, I also wanted to see your progress and hope that everyone has made significant progress."

Nangong Yang glanced at the members of the Nangong family.

Many people are already eager to get started; they've all been waiting for this moment.

After all, he's my older brother. If I behave well, even a small gift would be a huge reward.

"Come, come, this time your elder brother will bring out some treasures he brought back from the Nine Heavens Immortal Palace as rewards for you. Those who perform exceptionally well will naturally receive generous rewards!"

Nangong Yang immediately waved his hand generously, and various treasures were placed in front of him.

High-grade pills, high-level immortal fruits, some advanced acquired spiritual treasures, and even some advanced immortal techniques.

Most of the Nangong family disciples present were at the Xuanxian or Dixian realms, so they were naturally very envious of the items that Nangong Yang had taken out.

"Since my eldest brother has said so, then of course I can't be stingy. My third sister won't be stingy with the rewards for those who perform well and show significant improvement!"

With a wave of her hand, Nangong Yue displayed another large pile of rare and precious materials on the table in front of her, and the quality of these treasures was in no way inferior to those that Nangong Yang had brought out.

"So Third Sister was prepared all along."

Nangong Yang frowned as he looked at the pile of treasures that Nangong Yue had brought out.

This time, Nangong Yang had made thorough preparations. The prizes that seemed to be taken out casually were all carefully selected by Nangong Yang. However, unexpectedly, they did not outperform Nangong Yue.

"As the older sister, I certainly can't be said to have done nothing."

Nangong Yue responded calmly.

"Who will go first!"

Nangong Yang failed to outdo Nangong Yue several times in a row, so he stopped talking and looked at the crowd.

"Of course, it's not just members of our Nangong family; your Daoist partners are also considered half members of the Nangong family, so they can all come up and show their skills!"

Nangong Yang immediately added.

Nangong Yu, Chen Yiheng, and the others had been waiting for Nangong Yang to say those words, and the small group immediately focused their attention on Lin Xuan and his companion.
