C626 Nangong Cangtian
"Is it Zhang Ling Er or Lei Qinghai who defeated him?" Nangong Jie asked in a deep voice.
Ouyang Ying shook her head, then looked in the direction of Ling Jian and said, "It's not them, it's this guy."
Nangong Jie followed Ouyang Ying's line of sight and quickly locked onto Ling Jian's body. His eyes looked around Ling Jian's body, but he could not see the details of the other party.
This caused him to feel disbelief.
Ouyang Ying hurriedly explained, "This person's name is Ling Jian, and he was the one who defeated Ouyang Hai in the helper pageant that the Zhang family invited."
"Alright, I'll remember this name."
Upon hearing this, Nangong Jie frowned slightly and looked at Ling Jian with a deep gaze.
Although he was also a proud son of the Nangong Family, he could only be ranked third at most. His combat strength was on par with Ouyang Hai's, and Ling Jian was able to defeat Ouyang Hai. There was also a high possibility that Ling Jian could defeat him as well.
"Since that's the case, tell me about the situation back then." Nangong Jie said in a deep voice. His eyes were constantly flickering with light.
When Ouyang Ying heard this, she hurriedly recounted everything that had happened during the Grand Meeting in detail. She had no intention of hiding anything from him at all.
Even though she had told him everything in detail, she had finished speaking very quickly. This caused Nangong Jie to frown.
After all, the battle between the two of them was simply too fierce and overbearing. Furthermore, they had only fought once from the beginning until the end. Who would have thought that Ouyang Hai's arm would be broken with just a single punch?
"You are lying to me, right? How could Ouyang Hai's arm be broken with just a single punch? Are you telling the truth? " Nangong Jie's expression changed greatly as his heart trembled.
He had never expected that the other party would be defeated with a single punch. Initially, he thought that the two of them must have experienced a fierce battle. However, he thought that the outcome would be so simple and crude.
Ouyang Ying hurriedly nodded her head before saying, "That's right. He did indeed only use a single punch. After that, he used a heaven-grade spirit art. Just like that, Ouyang Hai was defeated."
"What? Heaven-grade spirit art?"
Hearing Ouyang Ying's words, Nangong Jie's expression changed. In an instant, even with his mental state, he was shocked.
" How is it possible for him to successfully cultivate a Heaven grade spirit art with his cultivation base at the peak of the Heavenly Spirit Path? "
Nangong Jie looked at Ouyang Ying, seemingly questioning her.
Under normal circumstances, only Heavenly Dao experts would be able to successfully cultivate a heaven-grade spirit art, while Ling Jian was merely at the Heavenly Spirit Path. How could he possibly have the chance to successfully cultivate a heaven-grade spirit art?
"Since everyone is present at the grand event, I naturally can't say that I'm lying. Moreover, from the looks of it, that might doesn't seem to be an ordinary heaven-grade spirit art. " Ouyang Ying added another sentence. Evidently, even he was not surprised by Nangong Jie's shock.
After all, the upper echelons of the three great clans had also participated in the Grand Meeting. They were extremely shocked by him, let alone Nangong Jie, who was merely a junior.
"He, who is he? Is he really just a helper invited by your Zhang Clan?"
Nangong Jie was filled with doubt and disbelief.
He looked at Ling Jian with a complicated expression. However, when he looked at Ling Jian again, he did not treat him as a young man. Instead, he regarded him as a huge threat.
Initially, he thought that Ling Jian would at most be a cultivator at the peak of the Heavenly Spirit Path who was relatively stronger. However, with the prerequisite of mastering a heaven-grade spirit art, the meaning behind this was completely different.
No matter how powerful an ordinary cultivator at the peak of the Heavenly Spirit Path was, he wouldn't be able to display much of his strength. However, since he knew a heaven-grade spirit technique, even Nangong Wentian wouldn't dare to say that he could easily defeat him.
"Damn it, once we enter the Ghost God Abyss, this guy might become the greatest threat to our Nangong Family." Nangong Jie said to himself in his heart. Then, he waved his hand in a somewhat absent-minded manner. After that, he signaled the other party to leave.
Then, he looked in the direction where Ling Jian was. A moment later... Without much hesitation, he decided to tell Nangong Wentian about this. After all, Nangong Wentian was the number one figure in their Nangong family. This time, he was leading the entire team... For the sake of the overall situation, Nangong Wentian should know about this.
However, just as he was about to step forward and tell Nangong Wentian about this news, he suddenly thought of something and stopped in his tracks.
He turned his gaze toward Nangong Wentian, and an uneasy expression appeared on his face. In his eyes, Nangong Wentian was looking at Nangong Wan'er with a burning gaze.
In his eyes, there was even a hint of love and hatred.
"Should I tell Nangong Wentian about this?"
All of a sudden, a struggle appeared in the depths of Nangong Jie's heart.
If he was standing on the righteous side of the family, he should have told Nangong Wentian about this matter. However, from a personal point of view, his relationship with Nangong Wentian wasn't exactly harmonious. This caused a slight struggle to appear in his heart.
Nangong Wan Er liked Nangong Wentian. This wasn't a secret in the Nangong family. However, no one knew that he actually had a crush on Nangong Wan Er in his heart. But because of Nangong Wentian, his ability to compete wasn't too obvious.
"Nangong Wentian only has a top-level spirit art. If he were to encounter Ling Jian, I wonder who would win."
Nangong Jie laughed coldly in his heart, but he didn't show much of an expression on his face.
After that, without any hesitation, he immediately stopped moving. This meant that he didn't plan to tell Nangong Wentian about this trip.
Nangong Wentian was the number one genius of the Nangong Family. If Ling Jian was able to deal with him in the Ghost God Abyss, perhaps his reputation as the number one genius would also be tarnished.
At that time, if he was defeated by Ling Jian, or if something were to happen in the Ghost God Abyss... Then, his status amongst the younger generation of the Nangong Family would naturally rise. At that time, perhaps he would become the male leader of the Nangong family that Nangong Wan Er was the best match for.
At that time, even if he went to chase after Nangong Wan Er, no one would dare to compete with him.
...
As the person who told him about Nangong Jie's dark feelings, Ouyang Ying actually didn't know about it.
In fact, she also wanted to tell Nangong Wentian about it. After all, Nangong Wentian was the strongest person in the Nangong family, and he was the one who led the Nangong family into the Ghost God Abyss.
However, regardless of Nangong Wentian's identity or status, it wasn't something that he, the Ouyang family, could come into contact with on the second day. Even if Ouyang Hai's arm wasn't broken, he wouldn't be able to meet Nangong Wentian just because he wanted to.
However, he never expected Ouyang Jie to not tell him anything.
Following the arrival of the Nangong Family, the entire courtyard became silent.
The people of the Nangong family, even though they were juniors, all of their eyes were filled with pride. Even the helpers that they had invited also looked down on the family forces in the remaining areas.
Apart from a portion of the people in the region, which caused them to feel a trace of seriousness, the other factions were completely ignored by them.
The people in that small region were the people from the Southern Gate Family in the western part of the city. Although the overall strength of this family was not comparable to the Nangong Family, there were also two middle-stage Heavenly Source Realm cultivators in the family. They were also a part of the power that the Nangong Family didn't dare to ignore.
Furthermore, the number of spots that the Nanmen Family had obtained this time was not small, and they had taken up quite a lot of spots. The Nangong Family, which was second only to the fifty people, had a total of forty people.
In the entire four big regions of the Divine Wilderness City, the ones who had obtained the most were the Nangong Family and the Nanmen Family. There was also the Feng Family from the Southern Gate District, and there were more than thirty spots in the Southern Gate District. However, the Feng Family had obtained a total of twenty spots.
Although the Northern District did not have as many spots as the three clans, as the number one clan in the Northern District, the Huang Clan was also given a total of eighteen spots.
After that was the Western City District's Zhang Clan, which only had ten spots.
Other than these, the remaining clans didn't even have a single hand, and there was only one clan like the Ouyang Clan who had only taken two spots.
...
In the blink of an eye, time flew by rapidly, and it was evening.
In the square, everyone gathered together. Over a hundred people were all waiting quietly. They did not feel unhappy that it had been too long.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a huge storm was stirred up in this area. Along with the passage of time, the sound of the wind became louder and louder.
The cultivators in the square naturally noticed this scene at the first possible moment, and they immediately raised their heads to look over.
At this moment, everyone's gaze was focused on the sky. Clearly, the changes in the sky naturally originated from the sky.
Ling Jian stood at his original spot. At this moment, he naturally had some comprehension. Immediately, he lifted his head and looked at the sky. His gaze changed slightly.
Under his gaze, a huge black light figure descended from the sky. After which, it appeared not far in front of everyone.
This huge black silhouette covered a very large area. After landing, everyone could clearly see that there was a pair of wings flapping on both sides of this black light figure. At this moment, as it landed on the ground, it directly smashed open numerous cracks that spread across the open ground.
Hiss!
Immediately, numerous soft gasps sounded around the open ground.
Everyone's eyes were filled with envy as they looked at this enormous black light figure. Even though they were peak Heavenly Spirit Dao practitioners, their hearts had become inexplicably shocked after seeing this scene.
This enormous black light figure was in the shape of a huge cabin. The upper part of the cabin was a huge palace decorated in an incomparably gorgeous manner.
The palace had two floors, and it was quite spacious. It took up almost two-thirds of the cabin, while the materials on top of the overtime were pitch-black. Even at night, the materials on the splint emitted a dazzling luster. A sharp thorn appeared on the top of the cabin. It seemed to possess some kind of powerful attack, causing one to only glance at it... This...
Of course, apart from this, only the wings on both sides of the cabin were silver-white. These two huge wings casually flapped, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the surroundings immediately whistled past. It let out a series of whimpers.
Some of the air wasn't able to flow in time and was instantly cut apart by the wings. Clearly, this pair of huge wings also possessed quite a bit of destructive power.
"I didn't expect it to be a flying ship."
"Flying ships are rare treasures. Each one of them is extremely expensive. I didn't expect it to appear before me."
"This flying ship should be from the Nangong family, right? I remember that flying ships like this are rare in the Tai Huang Divine City."
"Yes, I heard that these flying ships came from the Pill Sect. It's said that the Nangong Family fought for the great glory of the Tai Huang Divine City, and the Pill Sect also rewarded the Nangong Family because of this. Therefore, they sent this flying ship out. "
"I thought it was just hearsay, but I didn't expect it to be true."
"Haha, could it be that we need to take a flying ship to the Ghost God Abyss this time? If that's really the case, then we're really blessed!"
"Even though the Heavenly Spirit Path can condense sharp wings, these wings cannot fly in the void. They're completely different from Heavenly Dao Realm wings. With this flying ship, we can fly in the sky."
...
At this moment, on the square, everyone looked at the descending flying ship and whispered to each other. Some of them revealed a trace of excitement because this was the first time they had seen such a ship.
Although those who were able to cultivate to the peak of the Heavenly Spirit Path could be considered to have a good disposition, no one could maintain their curiosity about such a new thing.
This was like an ordinary person suddenly seeing a million luxury cars in front of them. His gaze would not shift in the slightest.
Zhang Ling Er and the others also looked at the sky in astonishment. They had also not expected to see a flying ship in such a situation.
"It's just a flying boat. What's there to be surprised about?"
Nangong Wan Er saw this scene, and a cold smile appeared on her face.
This flying ship belonged to the Nangong family, and as the second genius of the Nangong family... She had seen this flying ship countless times, but when she saw the shocked expressions on everyone's faces... He immediately showed a sense of superiority.
"I didn't expect there to be such a thing in the Divine Wilderness City."
Ling Jian's gaze was also looking at the flying ship at this moment. Compared to the others, he appeared extremely calm, even though this was only his first time seeing such a thing. However, in the mysterious scroll, he knew quite a bit about flying ships.
Not only that, even within the mysterious scroll, there were many flying ships, and the one that the Nangong family took out was the most ordinary one.1
Just as everyone was observing the flying ship, suddenly, the ship's cabin slightly trembled, and following that, an old man's voice sounded out.
"I am Nangong Cangtian, and I am the escort for this trip to the Ghost God Abyss. The journey to the Ghost God Abyss this time is quite far, and it will take two months. Everyone, please follow me onto the ship."
The old man walked out of the palace and looked at the crowd below. Then, an indifferent voice was heard from the palace.
After the old man called Nangong Cangtian's voice sounded, an uproar broke out between the crowd.
"Nangong Cangtian, he is Nangong Cangtian?"
"I heard that Nangong Cangtian is a Heavenly Yuan Middle Stage expert. I never expected him to come and escort us to the Ghost God Abyss."
"With Nangong Cangtian personally escorting us, it should be to prevent anything from happening to us, right? With Nangong Cangtian's help, we shouldn't have too many accidents along the way."
"I never thought that even flying ships would require one month of flying. It seems like this place is indeed a bit far."
"That's of course. After all, it's an existence that can cross the Void Sky. However, the Nangong family is really willing to spend a lot of money this time. They actually used a flying ship to escort us there. It's said that flying ships consume a lot of spirit stones."
"Hehe, no matter what, the Nangong family is the strongest family in the Desolate Heaven City. They still have this bit of foundation. Furthermore, I think that they want us to head to the Ghost God Abyss this time. I'm afraid all the big families will have to pay a great price for this. "
" I don't care anymore. Anyway, that's the Patriarch's business. We just need to board the flying ship when the time comes. I've grown up, and this is my first time being a flying ship. I'm really excited. "
...
Many cultivators were looking at Nangong Cangtian. It was obvious that Nangong Cangtian had a great reputation in the Nangong Family.
Ling Jian also looked at Nangong Cangtian. Although Nangong Cangtian was also at the Mid Heavenly Source Realm, he was still slightly stronger than the Zhang Family's Patriarch.
"Although he is stronger than the Zhang Family's Patriarch, I don't think his Divine Sense is enough." Ling Jian thought for a moment before shaking his head.
The reason why his divine sense was comparable to a Heavenly Yuan Middle Stage expert was very obvious. The sword qi from before had given him a good chance to forge it. But now, from Nangong Cangtian's body... He could also sense that his opponent's Divine Sense was ordinary.
It was imaginable that even the Nangong Family's Patriarch wouldn't be able to produce such a powerful Divine Sense.
Standing in front of the palace, Nangong Cangtian's gaze swept across everyone present. As a Mid Heavenly Source Realm expert, his strength was naturally much stronger than most of the people present.
However, right at this moment, his brows began to furrow. This was because he saw a young man in white clothes, and Ling Jian had just shook his head. It made him feel a trace of displeasure, especially the latter's gaze. Even the Nangong Family's Master had never done this before.
