Chapter 298 Past Events (Part 2)
When everyone came into contact with the puppets, they discovered that each puppet was as powerful as a peak Nascent Soul cultivator.
Among the crowd, only Yue Nansheng, Liu Ping, and Nangong Que were at the Returning Void stage; the rest were Nascent Soul and Primordial Spirit stage cultivators.
Everyone understood that if they continued fighting like this, they could only defeat a few dozen puppets at most, and after that, the sect members would only have one fate: to be surrounded and killed by these puppets!
So Nangong Que betrayed them. He used the Nascent Soul elders around him as bait to lure the puppets, while he used his magic weapon to block everyone's escape route and then escaped from the killing formation.
The situation became even more critical. In the end, Yue Nansheng stepped forward and decided to sacrifice himself to buy everyone a way out. He desperately burned his divine soul to improve his cultivation and temporarily held off the puppets.
The remaining people wanted to help but were helpless. In order not to let Yue Nansheng down, they could only follow behind Liu Ping, trying to fight their way out of the killing formation.
Just as everyone was about to escape the killing formation, Nangong Que reappeared.
Nangong Que realized that he had betrayed his companions to save his own life. If anyone survived and returned to the sect to report the news, he would definitely be wanted and hunted down by the sect. Therefore, he decided to kill everyone and leave no survivors.
A sword beam suddenly appeared from behind Yue Nansheng. Although Yue Nansheng had already sensed something was amiss, he was already severely injured and could only shift his position slightly.
The sword energy grazed his neck and sliced off most of his shoulder. He roared and swung his palm behind his back!
With a palm strike emanating from his heart, he struck the attacker, who was none other than Nangong Que, who had returned!
Ignoring the insults and dissuasion of the crowd, he bravely unleashed another sword strike despite Yue Nansheng's counterattack, and then fled frantically away.
Yue Nansheng was struck by another sword, and was now at his last gasp, unable to hold back the puppet any longer.
With no obstacle in sight, the puppet instantly trapped the group who were about to escape the killing formation.
Knowing that everyone was doomed, Nangong Que stopped looking and fled the Divine Ruins Secret Realm.
But what he didn't expect was that Yue Nansheng, dragging his dying body, used his last strength to use his supernatural powers to send Liu Ping out of the killing formation.
Liu Ping, who had left the killing formation, could only watch helplessly as Yue Nansheng was trapped and killed by the puppets within the formation. The others also met their end, being engulfed by hundreds of ferocious puppets.
In his grief, Liu Ping's first thought was to hunt down Nangong Que.
When he came out of the Divine Ruins Secret Realm, he saw Nangong Que healing his injuries outside. He angrily launched an attack on Nangong Que.
Nangong Que was severely injured and unable to withstand the attack. After enduring a few blows, he used his escape technique to quickly flee.
Knowing that he was not as fast as him and had also been seriously injured in the killing formation, Liu Ping had no choice but to return to Tian Ce Palace first to report the specific situation to the elders of the sect.
At this point, the exploration team sent by Tian Ce Palace to the Divine Ruins Secret Realm was almost completely wiped out, with only Liu Ping and Nangong Que escaping.
Feng Yu sighed as she finished speaking:
"The sect has organized several encirclement and suppression operations against Nangong Que, but they have never been able to find out his whereabouts. Ning Fengyi, Bai Yan and Liu Ping did manage to catch him once in the Central Killing Domain, but he still managed to escape in the end."
"That's why my father and Ning Fengyi were so excited when Nangong Que appeared in the sea."
"Senior Brother Yue is a righteous man, upright in his actions, and of excellent character. He treats his disciples like his own sons, and all the disciples in the sect admire him. If he hadn't died, his cultivation level would be no lower than mine."
Bai Ke's heart was filled with turmoil as he listened, and he could understand why Ning Fengyi and the others were so dedicated to helping Yue Nansheng travel to the sea to seek revenge on Nangong Que.
Such a strong person who dares to sacrifice himself for the sake of others deserves their respect.
"The Tide Emperor's cultivation had already reached the peak of the Mahayana stage two hundred years ago. If it weren't for the constraints of heaven and earth, his achievements would have been even greater!"
"After this Holy Son Ceremony, Emperor Tide and Ning Fengyi will go to the sea together. Nangong Que will definitely have no chance of escaping, and Senior Brother Yue's spirit in heaven will be comforted."
Feng Yu spoke in a deep voice, and thinking of Yue Nansheng, he was filled with mixed feelings. He couldn't help but take out another jar of the Immortal Drink.
Bai Ke sighed, truly believing that appearances can be deceiving. Although this Tide Emperor looked shifty-eyed, he hadn't expected his strength to have reached the pinnacle of the Mountain and Sea Realm.
I definitely need to find an opportunity to have a good talk with him these next few days, and if I can get him on my side...
Lost in his daydream, Bai Ke unconsciously drooled all over the floor. Seeing this, Feng Yu handed him the wine jar and frowned, asking:
"Young friend, are you craving something again? Want a bite?"
"Haha, I really am craving it."
Bai Ke laughed loudly, took the wine jar, and drank a large gulp.
As he drank his wine, he couldn't help but think of the girl who accompanied the Tide Emperor, and his mind began to wander again...
"Young friend! Don't drink it all, leave some for me!" Feng Yu snatched the wine jar and said, puffing out his beard and glaring at her.
Bai Ke awkwardly scratched his head, then suddenly remembered something and quickly asked:
"Senior Feng! That Nangong Que spent some time in the Central Killing Domain, and repeatedly managed to evade the pursuit of my Tian Ce Palace. Could it be related to Feng Qiong...?"
“That’s right, I’ve thought so too. In the Central Killing Domain, only the Wind and Rain Pavilion is dominant, and no one can infiltrate it. Therefore, Nangong Que must have some connection with the Wind and Rain Pavilion.”
"Senior Feng, have you ever considered asking the Tide Emperor to take action and kill Feng Qiong?"
Upon hearing this, Feng Yu frowned, then couldn't help but scratch his leg and said:
"I have thought about it too, but the Tide Emperor is a large and powerful family. If he kills Feng Qiong, the Wind and Rain Tower assassins scattered throughout the Central Killing Domain will cause considerable trouble for the Tide Sect."
“At the Mahayana stage, life and death are no longer determined by individual combat strength. Just as you said, even if you are only a minor cultivator in the mid-Nascent Soul stage, you still have a way to kill Feng Qiong in the late Mahayana stage.”
Upon hearing this, Bai Ke secretly curled his lip, thinking to himself: Not everyone is like me, possessing such an overpowered system.
Despite his thoughts, Bai Ke still said earnestly, "Senior, rest assured, give me some time to prepare, and I will definitely help you fulfill your long-cherished wish and resolve Feng Qiong's problem!"
"Haha, I'm waiting. If that day ever comes, I will be more than willing to assist you in building a force that will be loyal to you," Feng Yu laughed.
The two drank and chatted for a while longer, and before they knew it, it was already broad daylight, and the sounds of disciples doing their morning exercises echoed throughout the Tian Ce Palace.
"Senior, I should be going now. I still need to welcome the delegation later," Bai Ke said, bowing in farewell.
Feng Yu nodded, took out his longsword and array plate, hugged them, and fell asleep immediately.
Seeing this, Bai Ke shook his head and smiled bitterly, then leaped towards Tian Ce Peak.
But not long after, a system notification suddenly sounded...
