Chapter 406: Gathering Of Heroes (2/2)
What a joke! The Xiao Family who had years of ties with his Ling Family was present! The Yu Family who had just sent their dowry to the Ling Family was present! The DongFang Family which expressed their goodwill towards his Ling Family was also here! Even the NanGong Family which he was previously in an alliance with was also present! Furthermore, even the BeiMing Family which the Ling Family didn't have any ties with was also present! All the various powers were gathered here today with their own ulterior motives and sinister plots. At the same time, all of their goals were the same: to kill Ling Tian!
Since all of you want me dead, wouldn't I be letting all of you down if I do not repay all of your 'kindness'?
At this moment, DongFang JingLei suddenly gave out a loud laugh and broke the silence. He then stood up and cupped his fists towards the Xiao Family, ”The DongFang Family thanks the elders of the Xiao Family for their protection and care. For JingLei to witness the reclusive elders making their appearances, it is truly my honor.”
Meng JueChen remained seated and did not bother standing up as he replied with a smile, ”Second Master DongFang is being too courteous, it isn't much.”
DongFang JingLei chuckled and just when he was about to say something, NanGong TianLong's voice sounded, ”Second Master DongFang, you previously spread the news that you wanted to burn down the mountains to force Ling Tian out. Now that all the various powers have retreated their forces from the mountains, I wonder when is Second Master planning to take action?”
DongFang JingLei's expression changed slightly and he smiled, ”Family Head NanGong is being too serious. The news that I had spread was only a plot to force Ling Tian out. As long as Ling Tian has a heart for the commoners, he would have definitely appeared. Since he has not appeared up till now, it can be seen that he places his life above the lives of the thousands living in the mountains. With my plan failing, JingLei is truly extremely guilty and as for burning the mountain down, how can we be as cruel as Ling Tian? After all, this matter concerns the lives of thousands, and JingLei would never dare to perform such an immoral act.”
NanGong TianLong sneered in response, ”What a dignified excuse! Is Second Master DongFang trying to make a fool out of us all with your plan?”
At this moment, NanGong TianLong was incomparably depressed in his heart. Ever since he led 300 elites to Sky Bearing, he had faced restrictions at every turn and nothing had gone well for him. There was almost no chance for him to catch his breath and the elites of his family were almost wiped out completely! Currently, his second brother, NanGong TianHu and his daughter, NanGong Yu, were still in Sky Bearing on the pretext of being in an alliance but it was no different from them being confined. As for the reason, it was all thanks to the Yang and Ling Family. Especially when the Ling Family had forced his NanGong Family to battle the Yang Family while they watched by the side and caused the elites of his NanGong Family to be almost completely wiped out! This bitter resentment had stifled NanGong TianLong to the point he almost fell ill! Their NanGong Family was only able to secretly escape from Sky Bearing after the Yu Family had arrived and taken up the attention of the Ling Family. At that time, apart from NanGong TianHu and NanGong Yu, there were less than ten elites who returned back to their home base safely!
Such a heavy blow had destroyed more than half of the NanGong Family's strength! With his NanGong Family being part of the Eight Great Families, how could NanGong TianLong swallow this ball of anger? While the Yang Family was destroyed, the Ling Family was still around. Be it the old or young, male or female, there wasn't a single good person in the whole Ling Family! They were all full of schemes! The moment he heard that Ling Tian was being pursued by the Martial Order Medallion owner, NanGong TianLong felt as though he was over the moon! Thus, he personally led a few experts out to deal with Ling Tian as well. Now that DongFang JingLei was giving up on his plan to deal with Ling Tian, NanGong TianLong could not help but feel bitter in his heart as he retorted with sarcasm. If not for NanGong TianLong hating Ling Tian to the core, he would have never said such unwise words in consideration of DongFang JingLei's status and the present scenario!
DongFang JingLei's tone also turned chilly, ”Perhaps Family Head NanGong may not know, but apart from Ling Tian being present, the Martial Order Medallion owner is also in the mountains. If I were to ask brother TianLong to light the fire, would you dare to do so?!”
While Nangong TianLong was the Family Head of a Great Family, the talents of his family were lacking and their strength far too weak. The present NanGong Family was probably even worse off than the XiMen Family being led by XiMen Sa. Thus, DongFang JingLei did not give any face to NanGong TianLong at all!
NanGong TianLong burst out laughing and said with disdain, ”Martial Order Medallion owner? So what? Isn't he a human as well? Sending justice? Does he really think that he is justice? Would he be able to escape if we burn down the whole mountain?”
As these words were said, the experts of the Xiao Family began looking at the pails of kerosene as their eyes lit up.
”Pa pa pa pa!” Four crisp slapping sounds sounded and a figure flashed past quickly. NanGong TianLong let out a miserable groan as his figure was lifted up into the air. The next moment, his figure slammed onto the floor with blood all over his face and ten of his teeth knocked out cleanly from their roots!
In NanGong TianLong's original position was a green-dressed man standing there silently. While he was under the gaze of almost a thousand people, he was completely indifferent as though the experts did not exist!
He did not place them in his sight!
Despite there being almost a hundred XianTian cultivators around, not a single person was able to detect his arrival or see how he had beaten up NanGong TianLong. None of them saw his arrival and it was as though he had been standing there originally for a long time already! At the same time, he seemed to have melded into his surroundings and was one with the heavens and earth!
Martial Order Medallion owner! Sending justice!
Silence filled the place!
