Chapter 707: Immortal Marquis, Immortal Venerable

Chapter 707: Chapter 706: Immortal Marquis, Immortal Venerable

“Yang Xiao, did you sense that?”

Seeing Yang Xiao slay the four guards, all at the Peak of Demi-God Level, in a single move, the worry in Nangong Yin’s heart finally dissipated.

But as for this Qin Tianlong…

She was momentarily at a loss, unsure of how to deal with him.

After all, this man was the son of a Divine King. Although she was from the Nangong Family, her branch of the family held a low status. The most prominent member was likely her older cousin, the Dean of Star God Academy.

Among the rest of their elders, though many had decent cultivation, their status wasn’t necessarily as high as her cousin’s.

Then again, her cousin had once been *that person’s* personal handmaiden.

Of course.

She wasn’t afraid of Qin Tianlong, though.

No matter what.

She was still a member of the Nangong Family, born of the Emperor Race. If it came to a fight with the mere son of a Divine King—an illegitimate one at that—neither side had anything to fear.

However.

But thinking of her branch’s current situation within the Nangong Family, and how everything rested on her cousin’s shoulders, Nangong Yin was hesitant to stir up trouble.

So, when Yang Xiao didn’t immediately make a move on Qin Tianlong,

she completely understood.

But just now,

a terrifying power seemed to emanate from the void.

Nangong Yin, who had just relaxed,

suddenly tensed up again.

She questioned Yang Xiao.

However, before she could hear Yang Xiao’s response,

Qin Tianlong, who stood opposite them,

burst into a triumphant laugh.

“Nangong Yin! You sensed it, didn’t you? What a shame. You could have killed me, but now, there’s only one path for you—the path to death! HAHA!”

Qin Tianlong roared with laughter.

Nangong Yin’s expression changed instantly.

If before she had been somewhat unsure what kind of existence was causing the aura from the void,

now,

she understood completely.

“You… you notified the Qin Celestial Divine King?”

Nangong Yin asked in alarm.

“The Qin Celestial Divine King? HAHA! If I had notified him, would he kill you? I’m afraid not only would he not kill you, he’d probably chew me out and hand me over for you to deal with, right?”

Qin Tianlong’s laughter was somewhat sinister,

yet also filled with glee.

He knew.

His choice had already caused a rift between him and the father who had never valued him. And those people had probably chosen him precisely because they were targeting his father.

This was the very reason he had hesitated for so long.

But now,

he had figured it out.

This was his path.

His only path.

And walking this path would allow him to live a better life than before.

So, upon hearing Nangong Yin’s words, his laughter became somewhat frenzied.

Nangong Yin,

however, felt a chill run through her entire body.

At this very moment, she too had realized.

If it really was the Qin Celestial Divine King, given her status and what had happened before, she would absolutely be safe—unless the Qin Celestial Divine King wanted to make an enemy of the entire Nangong Race.

But now, it seemed,

that was not the case.

Moreover, this Qin Tianlong was laughing so smugly, declaring with such certainty that she and Yang Xiao were doomed.

‘I’m afraid the people he’s summoned are not good news.’

A thought struck her,

and Nangong Yin grabbed Yang Xiao’s arm.

She said loudly, “Let’s go! We have to go now! Let’s get out of here before they show up.”

As she spoke, she tried to pull Yang Xiao and fly in the direction of Star God Academy.

But…

Yang Xiao didn’t move.

Her hand on Yang Xiao felt as if she were pulling on a pillar that was fixed firmly in place.

What she found even stranger was that

not only did Yang Xiao not listen and try to leave with her, but he also patted the back of her hand, turned his head, and smiled faintly. “Don’t worry. I can guarantee that nothing will happen. I know the people he’s called.”

Hearing this,

Nangong Yin was stunned.

But then, an inexplicable sense of relief washed over her.

She didn’t know where it came from.

Perhaps it was because he had saved her before.

Or perhaps it was because he had once again saved her by killing those four guards at the Peak of Demi-God Level under impossible circumstances.

Or perhaps it was for some other reason.

In any case,

Nangong Yin now felt completely at ease.

‘Just now, he was the same way, not the least bit afraid of those Demigod guards. It seems he might actually know the people who are about to arrive.’

Though it was somewhat hard to believe,

even more unbelievable things had already happened.

Nangong Yin felt that it wouldn’t be out of place for a few more to occur.

However,

just as her mind had settled,

Qin Tianlong suddenly shouted, “Impossible! That’s impossible! You’re lying, aren’t you? You can’t possibly be one of them! That’s right, you don’t have that aura on you! HAHA, I knew it! You’re trying to trick me…”

But,

before he could finish his sentence,

he stopped abruptly.

Because he thought of himself.

A moment ago, before he had crushed that white Jade Talisman, he hadn’t been one of them either, nor did he have that aura. ‘Could this guy before me really be one of them?’

But if that were true, then how could he get his revenge?

‘No, no, this kid must die!’

Qin Tianlong stared sinisterly at Yang Xiao.

His mind began to scheme.

As for Yang Xiao,

he still wore that faint, unreadable smile.

He looked perfectly calm.

This, in turn, calmed the turmoil that had just risen in Nangong Yin’s heart.

But a question still lingered in her mind.

‘Who exactly are those people?’

‘And this aura Qin Tianlong mentioned, what kind of aura is it?’

Instinctively,

Nangong Yin suddenly felt as if she had been caught in the middle of a great mystery.

And just as she was about to ask,

the aura in the void suddenly erupted.

Above Qin Tianlong,

a rift tore open.

From within it,

several figures emerged.

These figures emanated powerful auras.

Each one was stronger than the last.

They were so strong that Nangong Yin felt like a tiny ant.

She was like a small boat in the great ocean, in danger of being crushed to dust at any moment by the power hidden beneath the calm waves.

“So strong… these people are too strong! They seem much more powerful than even our Divine General Level Clan Leader!”

Nangong Yin murmured to herself.

But Yang Xiao, standing beside her, chuckled. “That’s right. Three at the Divine Marquis Level, and one Divine Venerable. Oh, no, that’s three Immortal Marquises and one Immortal Venerable. For a lineup like this to show up for a mere little guy at the Peak of Great Divine Power Realm… it looks like they really value this Qin Tianlong fellow.”

“Immortal… Immortal Marquis? An Immortal Venerable!?”

Nangong Yin was completely astonished.

She knew that the relationship between the Nangong Family and the Immortal Dao Lineage was incredibly poor.

Back then, the Star Emperor himself had charged into the Immortal Realm,

intending to execute the scoundrel who had caused the Second Miss’s disappearance.

In the end, though he did not succeed,

for all these years, the Nangong Family and the people of the Immortal Realm had been like fire and water.

Moreover, the Great Emperor had issued a standing order:

any Immortal Daoist encountered must be killed.

But now…

of these four people, the weakest was an Immortal Marquis—an existence equivalent to a Tier Seven True God, a being at the Divine Marquis Level.

She was just a cultivator at the mere Peak of Great Divine Power Realm.

Forget about killing them;

if she even had the thought,

she would probably be obliterated by these people, right?

And another thing…

what was Yang Xiao’s relationship with the Immortal Dao?

If he was really that close to the Immortal Dao, what would her cousin think if she found out?

She had to remember,

in the entire Nangong Family, after the supreme Star Emperor, the person who hated Immortal Daoists the most was none other than her own cousin.

If she were to find out that this Yang Xiao was involved with Immortal Daoists…

what would happen?

Just thinking about it,

Nangong Yin felt that things were about to go very wrong.

And at that very moment,

Yang Xiao, beside her,

made his move.
