Eternal Sacred King-Chapter 1347: Return

A few cultivators stood at the entrance of the residence, looking up at the three blue-robed people respectfully with a hint of anticipation in their eyes.

The few of them were Nangong Yu and the others who had arrived from afar.

Apart from Nangong Yu, the other three old men were Nascent Souls and were his uncles.

"Greetings, Uncle Ling. I'm Nangong Yu."

Before the blue-robed man descended, Nangong Yu bowed deeply and shouted.

"Uncle Ling?"

On the auspicious cloud, the lively girl giggled. "Senior Brother Nangong, you're quite senior."

The blue-robed man looked at Nangong Yu below and frowned.

He could tell that Nangong Yu was from a collateral lineage of the Nangong aristocratic family.

However, he could not recall any interactions with this person.

"Do we know one another?"

The blue-robed man walked down from the auspicious cloud with the two women and looked at Nangong Yu who was hunched in front of him, asking indifferently.

He indeed had the right to be proud.

He was a Void Reversion and Nangong Yu before him was only a Golden Core.

As a direct descendant of the Nangong aristocratic family, normally, he would not even bother with a Golden Core with a collateral lineage bloodline.

But now that a beauty was by his side, he could not appear too cold and heartless, so he asked symbolically.

"Erm…"

Nangong Yu smiled dryly with an embarrassed expression. "Many years ago, I met you once. You must have forgotten about it."

"Indeed, I don't remember."

The blue-robed man nodded.

The lively girl beside him burst into laughter.

The white-robed woman glared at her.

Thereafter, as though she realized that it was rude, the lively girl held back her smile and continued listening.

Nangong Yu burst into laughter. The few Nascent Soul old men were cautious as well and smiled awkwardly at the side.

"Is there anything?"

The blue-robed man asked.

"Y-Yes!"

Nangong Yu said hurriedly, "My father might have been harmed by someone from Beiming Town! I was wondering if you could exact justice for me and take revenge for this, Uncle Ling!"

"Might have?"

The blue-robed man frowned.

"Definitely!"

Nangong Yu changed his words hurriedly. "It must definitely be someone from Beiming Town!"

The blue-robed man was disinterested. "There's no longer any clansmen left in the Beiming clan. Why would they try to kill your father at the risk of having their clan annihilated?"

"This…"

Nangong Yu hesitated for a moment and was stunned.

The blue-robed man continued, "In addition, the three aristocratic families have been suppressing the Beiming clan all these years. I remember that the Beiming clan no longer has many experts. How can they kill your father like this?"

"The person who killed my father should be an outsider!"

Nangong Yu said hurriedly, "He's extremely mysterious and I can't tell his cultivation realm. He wears a set of green robes the entire time and seems like he's severely ill, like a down-and-out scholar."

When she heard the words 'green robes', the white-robed woman was slightly stunned. She lowered her head slightly with a dim expression as though she recalled something.

"Hanyan, what's wrong?"

The blue-robed man noticed the white-robed woman's abnormality and asked with a voice transmission.

"It's nothing much,"

The white-robed woman shook her head gently. "When he mentioned green robes, I thought of Granduncle-Master. He loves to wear green robes as well. Unfortunately…"

She sighed.

"Don't be sad,"

The blue-robed man sent a voice transmission with his spirit consciousness and said gently, "The heavens will bless Granduncle-Master. He might not be dead after being exiled into the void."

Towards the end, even he could not believe it himself as his tone weakened.

Nangong Yu continued, "Uncle Ling, please help me take revenge. I'll definitely remember this favor and repay it with my life!"

Actually, requesting help from this Uncle Ling to take revenge was only one of Nangong Yu's motives.

More importantly, he wanted to make use of this opportunity to get closer to this person and increase his chances of integrating into the direct lineage in the future.

The lively girl at the side could not help but say, "If I were you, I would definitely take revenge personally if someone killed my father! If my cultivation right now isn't enough, I'll work harder. Sooner or later, I'll take revenge for my father personally!"

Nangong Yu smiled embarrassedly with a flushed face and felt frustrated.

However, he did not know the girl's identity and did not dare to refute rashly.

The blue-robed man shrugged his shoulders as well and waved his hand. "Just as she said, if you want revenge, do it yourself. Don't come looking for me. I'm not interested."

With that, he led the two women beside him towards the residence.

He was truly not interested.

If he were to entertain every single collateral lineage clansmen that sought him for help, he would probably be tired to death and would not be able to rest everyday.

Furthermore, he had the company of a beauty—how would he be in the mood to bother about such things?

Additionally, the aristocratic family competition would be held in a few days. He had to bring his clansmen from the Nangong aristocratic family to participate and did not want to waste his time on such insignificant matters.

Nangong Yu was anxious.

Just as the blue-robed man was about to enter the residence and his opportunity was about to pass by in a flash, he had a stroke of inspiration and said, "Uncle Ling, the reason why my father died is very likely because he discovered the secret of the Beiming aristocratic family!"

"Hmm?"

The blue-robed man paused and frowned.

This news was rather interesting.

"Secret? What secret?"

The lively girl's eyes lit up with the flames of gossip as she asked hurriedly.

The blue-robed man sent a voice transmission secretly, "Legend has it that the ancient Beiming clan guards a huge secret. However, no one has discovered it all these years."

"If nobody discovered it after so many years, it's probably fake,"

The lively girl was slightly disappointed and pouted her lips.

"I'm not sure. However, throughout history, most cultivators of the three aristocratic families have been willing to believe in that legend," The blue-robed man said.

When Nangong Yu saw the blue-robed man stop in silence, he realized that he had hit the nail on the head. He braced himself and continued, "My father must have discovered this secret. They must have killed him to silence him!"

Of course, that was Nangong Yu's nonsense.

However, the logic made sense. Furthermore, it involved the secret of the Beiming clan. As such, the blue-robed man was intrigued.

"Should we go take a look?"

The lively girl instigated secretly.

She did not care about revenge. She was merely curious about that secret and could not contain her curiosity.

"Hanyan, what do you think?"

The blue-robed man turned and looked at the white-robed woman beside him, asking gently.

"I'm okay with anything,"

The white-robed woman smiled gently. "You're the host here. It's up to you. I'll just sit by and watch the show."

"Let's go take a look then!"

The blue-robed man decided. "In any case, there's still a few days before the aristocratic family competition. Let's head to Beiming Town first to see what secrets there are!"

Nangong Yu was delighted.

The old men behind him beamed as well.

No matter what, they were already closer to Uncle Ling.

"B*tch, let's see how you remain arrogant now!"

Nangong Yu looked in the direction of Beiming Town and grit his teeth slightly, sneering, "Beiming Xue, just you wait! I'm back!"
