Chapter 290: The Nangong Family Is So Powerful!
Xuan You hugged the Nine-Headed Heavenly Python excitedly and asked, “Little Nine, do you know that I’m your sister?”
The Nine-Headed Heavenly Python had grown up, and this made the little girl very happy.
However, seeing how much the Nine-Headed Heavenly Python had changed, the little girl was worried that it would forget that she was its sister.
The Nine-Headed Heavenly Python immediately nodded.
Although it had already become a Demon Emperor, it was still under Lin Xuan’s control.
Furthermore, after being with the little girls for so long, it had a deep relationship with them.
Naturally, it wouldn’t forget Xuan You and the others’ identities just because it grew bigger.
“Haha, that’s great!” Xuan You nodded happily. “Then learn a few barks from the Heavenly Dog Beast for me to hear!”
Howl ~
The Nine-Headed Heavenly Python called out obediently.
“Hahaha, this is great!”
“Little Nine has grown up and can imitate the Heavenly Dog Beast’s bark even more convincingly!”
“Yes, yes, yes. As expected of Little Nine. He’s as smart as us!”
Xuan Zhu, Xuan Xi, and Xuan Han also cried out happily.
Seeing how innocent and cute they were, the group of men present looked at Lin Xuan enviously.
If only they had four adorable daughters like him!
Lin Xuan looked at his babies gently and dotingly.
To a father, there wasn’thing in the world that made him happier than seeing his daughters happy.
Just as he was about to bring his daughters back to the Black-White Academy,
Suddenly, an old man in his fifties riding a Storm Horse rushed out from the path in front.
From the looks of it, the old man should be a butler.
As expected, after he dismounted, he hurriedly came in front of Duan Zhengyao. “Patriarch, bad news!”
Duan Zhengyao frowned and hurriedly asked, “What happened?”
The old man was his butler, Zhao Hongle. He had his trust and was quite prestigious in the Duan family.
Generally speaking, unless Zhao Hongle encountered a shocking matter, he wouldn’t leave the Duan family easily.
Zhao Hongle said, “The Young Master brought a very important figure to Duan family and wanted to divorce the Young Madam. He’s waiting for you in the living room.”
“What?!” Duan Zhengyao was shocked.
His son-in-law was Huo Hongqi, the young master of Yunzhou’s Huo family.
A month ago, in order to open a passage for water transportation in the southwest, the Duan family had established marital relations with the Huo family of Yunzhou.
After seeing Huo Hongqi’s character and appearance, Duan Zhengyao married his only precious daughter, Duan Yimei, to him.
It was said that the couple had a very harmonious relationship at the beginning.
Duan Yimei had enjoyed life in the Huo family and was respected and loved by everyone in the family.
Who would have thought that just a month later, Huo Hongqi would bring someone to deliver a divorce letter?
Duan Zhengyao couldn’t help but think, Duan Yimei had a blissful expression when she returned home to visit her family this time. There wasn’thing unusual about her.
It was probably not because the two of them had a conflict that led to this.
Then…
The Duan family was one of the current four great families in Qingzhou, and the Huo family was also a top-notch family in Yunzhou.
The two families were well-matched in terms of social status. What caused Huo Hongqi to divorce Duan Yimei?
Duan Zhengyao took a deep breath and asked, “Did Hongqi say the reason for the divorce?”
Zhao Hongle shook his head. “No!”
Duan Zhengyao asked, “Then who did he bring?”
Zhao Hongle revealed a terrified expression. “It’s said to be the eldest son of the Primordial Divine Mountain’s Nangong family, Nangong Chentong!”
Hiss ~
The moment he said this, everyone present gasped.
The Nangong Family of the Primordial Divine Mountain!
To the people of the Cang Dragon Continent, this was a super superpower hidden in the outside world.
Someone said that the Nangong family was so big that it was comparable to dozens of top Holy Lands in the Cang Dragon Continent.
Their foundation and strength had reached an unimaginable level.
Not to mention anything else, if one wanted to become the Nangong family’s guard, one had to be at least at the quasi Emperor Realm.
From this, it could be seen how terrifying this family was!
Duan Zhengyao could guess why Huo Hongqi suddenly proposed to divorce his wife.
It was probably because the Huo family wanted to cozy up to the Nangong family that they looked down on the Duan family.
Zhao Hongle said,
“Young Master Nangong brought thousands of martial arts powerhouses this time, including many quasi Emperor Realm and even Emperor Realm super powerhouses.”
“Now that our family has been occupied by them, we’re like fish on a board that can be crushed by them at any time!”
Duan Zhengyao’s pupils constricted. “They actually brought so many powerhouses! Why?”
Although the Duan family was powerful, it wasn’t a traditional martial arts family.
Logically speaking, even if Huo Hongqi wanted to forcefully divorce his wife, he shouldn’t have brought such a terrifying team.
Zhao Hongle thought about it and said,
“According to the news I found out, the reason why they mobilized so many people was firstly to force you to agree to Huo Hongqi’s divorce and not dare to take revenge.”
“Second, it’s said that the Huo family’s guard, Han Jing, was killed. They’re probably here because of Han Jing.”
The Huo family’s Han Jing!
Hearing this name, not only was Duan Zhengyao shocked, but even Xue Qingcang, Wei Shizhang, Liu Yiyun, and the others were shocked.
As the last disciple of the Sword Immortal Taibai, Han Jing was really famous in the Central Divine Continent.
Who was it that could kill such a powerful Sword Saint?
Furthermore, they didn’t care about the Huo family behind Han Jing or even the Nangong family of the Primordial Divine Mountain?
After everyone thought about it carefully, they couldn’t help but look at Lin Xuan at the same time.
Could it be…
Lin Xuan smiled calmly. “It seems like I have to make a trip to the Duan family.”
The Nangong family and the Huo family had mobilized such a large force to come because they definitely wanted an explanation regarding Han Jing.
In that case, Lin Xuan decided to take the initiative to attack and make a trip to the Duan family to see how they would stir up trouble.
Hearing Lin Xuan’s words, Duan Zhengyao, Xue Qingcang, and the others revealed shocked expressions.
“It really was the Consort!”
Other than the Consort, who else in the world wouldn’t take the Nangong family and the Huo family seriously?
“Let’s go.”
At this point, Lin Xuan asked Duan Zhengyao to lead the way to the Duan family.
After Duan Zhengyao was shocked, he couldn’t help but be delighted.
Today, he was really lucky that the Consort was headed to the Duan family.
With him around, the Duan family would have another powerful backer!
Xue Qingcang and the others hurriedly followed behind Lin Xuan.
They wanted to see how powerful Lin Xuan would be when facing the powerful Nangong family!
…
In the courtyard of the Duan family in Qingzhou.
If a martial arts expert was here, they would definitely be shocked by the vast and boundless aura above the courtyard.
Because at this moment, a large group of super experts had gathered in the Duan Family’s courtyard in an imposing manner!
Hundreds of powerhouses above the Supremacy Realm were standing at the entrance of the front yard like war gods.
In the front hall, there were four quasi Emperor Realm cultivators and two Emperor Realm powerhouses.
Like six ancient statues, they suppressed all the upper echelons of the Duan family in the hall.
Under their aura, Duan Zhengyao’s younger brother, Duan Fengyu, and even a few of the Duan Clan’s most senior elders had terrified expressions.
As for the two people with the most carefree attitudes, they were naturally the Huo Family’s Young Master, Huo Hongqi, and the Nangong Family’s Eldest Young Master, Nangong Chentong.
Huo Hongqi personally poured a cup of tea for Nangong Chentong with a fawning expression.
“Eldest Young Master, the tea in the mortal world is relatively ordinary. Make do with it!”
Nangong Chentong took a sip of tea and teased, “You’re still calling me Eldest Young Master?”
Huo Hongqi revealed an ecstatic expression and immediately changed his words. “Father-in-law!”
“Hehe.” Nangong Chentong smiled in satisfaction.
When they heard Huo Hongqi call Nangong Chentong his father-in-law in public, Duan Fengyu and the other higher-ups revealed looks of hatred.
However, because of how terrifying the Nangong family was, they could only endure it.
At this moment, a beautiful woman rushed into the hall.
“Hongqi, how could you do this?”
Duan Yimei’s almond-shaped eyes were filled with shock and anger as she rushed towards Huo Hongqi.
Huo Hongqi’s gaze couldn’t help but turn cold, and he revealed a disdainful expression.
“Do I, Huo Hongqi, have to explain myself to you?!”
Duan Yimei stomped her feet anxiously. “It’s only been a month since we became husband and wife. I’ve never let you down these days.”
“Now that you’ve publicly come to our family to send a divorce letter and even address someone else as your father-in-law, shouldn’t you give me an explanation?”
Phew!
Just as she finished speaking, a terrifying pressure slammed into her body and almost sent her flying.
One of the quasi Emperor Realm guardians of the Nangong Family glared at Duan Yimei fiercely.
“No one is allowed to enter within a hundred steps of my eldest young master. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”
The expressions of Duan Yimei and the others changed drastically.
The Nangong family was so imposing!
