Chapter 1352: Safe and Sound

Beiming Town, in front of the clan’s grand hall.

Beiming Ao looked at the blazing flames in the courtyard far away and called out with a quivering voice, “Sister!”

He could no longer hold back his tears and they flowed instantly.

When he saw that, Beiming Ao’s first reaction was that his sister had already died in the sea of flames.

The faint shrieks that came from the courtyard must be from that green-robed man with the surname Su.

The Beiming clan leader shook his head as well and sighed deeply.

The remaining Beiming clansmen looked fearful as well.

Although they were far away, the energy fluctuation released by the Dao fire still made everyone’s hearts palpitate.

That was the power of a Void Reversion!

“Child, my condolences.”

The Beiming clan leader looked at Beiming Ao and reminded, “Since things have come to this, you must not be reckless. Otherwise, you will definitely die as well!”

He said earnestly, “There’s only hope if you’re alive!”

Beiming Ao gradually stopped crying.

It was as though he had grown a lot in an instant.

“That’s right, there’s only hope if I’m alive!”

He clenched his fists with a cold expression.

…

In the courtyard.

Nangong Yu’s group of four turned into ashes and only left four storage bags.

Nangong Ling picked up the four storage bags and wiped away the spirit consciousness on them before handing them to Su Zimo without even taking a single look.

“You can have them,”

Su Zimo glanced sideways and gestured for Beiming Xue to step forward.

Beiming Xue had already gradually adapted to her identity. When she heard Su Zimo’s words, she received the four storage bags and placed them into her own storage bag before thanking him.

“Will you get into trouble for killing the four of them?”

Su Zimo looked at Nangong Ling and asked.

“Granduncle-Master, don’t worry. Nangong Yu is from a collateral lineage and merely has the surname of Nangong. No one will care about them.”

Nangong Ling said, “Furthermore, as a direct descendant of the Nangong aristocratic family, I have some status among the younger generation of the family.”

“Yes, that’s good.”

Su Zimo nodded.

Nangong Ling continued, “Don’t worry, Granduncle-Master. I’ll definitely settle this matter properly and no one from the Nangong family will cause trouble for you.”

Su Zimo asked, “Why are you back this time round?”

Nangong Ling replied, “My family summoned me back to take part in the aristocratic family competition with my clansmen. I invited Hanyan and Xuan Xuan over to take a breather and explore.”

“What sort of people are those taking part in the family competition?”

Su Zimo asked deeply, “Will the family masters of your three aristocratic families appear?”

“No,”

Nangong Ling shook his head. “The aristocratic family competition is only a fight between the younger generation of Foundation Establishment Cultivators and Golden Cores. As for the family masters of the three aristocratic families, they are all Conjoint Body Mighty Figures. Naturally, they won’t show themselves.”

“Typically, the three aristocratic families send out their outstanding paragons to take part with their clansmen. This time round, I’m the commander of the Nangong aristocratic family.”

Su Zimo nodded slightly and asked again, “The commanders of the Dongfang and Ximen aristocratic families are also Void Reversions?”

“More or less,”

Nangong Ling said, “This is a fight between the younger generation after all. Even seniors with high cultivation realms won’t show themselves. The presence of a Void Reversion is enough to control the situation.”

After a brief pause, he continued, “However, the aristocratic family competition this time round is at the Ximen villa. Since it’s an important place for the Ximen aristocratic family, there will definitely be some Dharma Characteristic Dao Lords. However, I’m not sure whether there will be any Conjoint Body Mighty Figures.”

Su Zimo nodded.

If it was just Dharma Characteristic Dao Lords, they posed no threat to him.

Even if his Essence Spirit was locked and he could not use Dharmic powers or Dharmic arts, it would be difficult for other Dharma Characteristic Dao Lords to injure him!

It would be much more troublesome if there were Conjoint Body Mighty Figures.

He could not injure a Conjoint Body Mighty Figure with his Green Lotus True Body alone.

Of course, Su Zimo had no intention of offending the three aristocratic families unless he had no other choice.

Nangong Ling could vaguely tell what he was implying and probed, “Granduncle-Master, are you intending to attack the three aristocratic families?”

If Su Zimo had such plans, he would be in an awkward situation.

On the one hand, he was a direct descendant of the Nangong aristocratic family.

On the other hand, he was also a disciple of Extreme Fire’s lineage.

Su Zimo could tell Nangong Ling’s worries and shook his head. “You don’t have to worry. I don’t want to bother with the feud between the three aristocratic families and the Beiming clan.”

“However…”

He changed the topic and said slowly, “Beiming Xue is my disciple. Anyone who dares to bully her will be going against Desolate Martial!”

Nangong Ling’s heart skipped a beat as he nodded. “Granduncle-Master, I understand.”

“Yes, there’s nothing much. You guys can head back first.”

Su Zimo waved his hand.

“Granduncle-Master, we’ve just arrived and have yet to speak much to you but you’re already chasing us away,” Ru Xuan pouted her lips and grumbled.

“Let’s go. The aristocratic family competition is in a few days. Granduncle-Master will definitely be there as well,”

Liu Hanyan pulled Ru Xuan and smiled gently.

Nangong Ling and the other two bowed to Su Zimo before turning to leave.

…

In front of the clan’s grand hall.

Beiming Ao could no longer hold it in when he saw Nangong Ling and the other two speeding away on their auspicious clouds. He dashed home with a sorrowful expression.

The Beiming clan leader followed closely behind, worried that something might happen to Beiming Ao.

The remaining Beiming clansmen closed in as well.

Bang!

Beiming Ao pushed the door open and barged in.

The moment he entered the courtyard, he was stunned and dumbfounded.

Initially, he thought that his sister was already dead and Su was burned to ashes.

However, he had not expected the two of them to appear alive before him!

Su leaned on his chair with half-opened eyes and a relaxed expression.

Beiming Xue stood behind him with a hint of joy on her face.

“This…”

Beiming Ao was a little stunned and could not snap out of his stupor.

Some Beiming clansmen came over and looked inside as well, shocked.

Beiming Xue was not dead?

What the hell?

If that was the case, who was the one screaming from the burn earlier on?

The Beiming clan leader stood at the entrance with a stunned expression.

Earlier on, Nangong Yu and the others came with a murderous aura and a Void Reversion was even invited. Yet, Beiming Xue was fine?

This didn’t make sense?

The Beiming clan leader frowned slightly, feeling that something was amiss.

Nangong Yu’s group seemed to have vanished into thin air!

The Beiming clan leader’s gaze landed on some ashes in the courtyard and his pupils constricted as he thought of a possibility.

However, that possibility was way too ridiculous.

Would the Nangong aristocratic family kill one another?

“Sister, are you alright?”

Beiming Ao rushed to Beiming Xue and sized her up with a delighted expression. In fact, he could not help but reach out and pinch himself.

“Ouch!”

He grinned and laughed. “It’s not a dream, it’s not a dream! Hahaha, my sister is fine!”

Beiming Xue looked at some Beiming clansmen at the entrance and said loudly, “Sorry for worrying you clansmen, I’m fine.”

Thereafter, she whispered, “Little brother, let them disperse and go close the doors. I have something to tell you.”

“Alright!”

Beiming Ao was delighted when he saw that Beiming Xue was fine. Without thinking much, he rushed to the door and waved his hand. “Everyone, disperse. My sister is fine!”
