“As long as you submit to our Demon G.o.d Sect, you might still have a chance to survive.”
There was no emotion in Nangong Yao’s cold eyes. When she rushed out of Jizhou City, she had no intention of living. She turned around and looked in the direction of Jizhou City. She said silently in her heart, “Farewell, Nangong
Family.”
“Even if I die, I won’t collude with you demons.
Her aura skyrocketed, and her flame bloodline rose. She had already burned the bloodline in her body.
“Hmph, a cornered beast is still fighting. You overestimate yourself.”
The green flood dragon sneered. Then, the three or four greater demons rushed forward. In just a few dozen breaths, they severely injured Nangong Yao and made her fall on the island.
“I want her alive. A genius like Nangong Yao still has research value.”
This was also the main reason why Nangong Yao had been able to survive until now. Otherwise, with the strength of more than ten Star Realms, if they had attacked with their full strength, Nangong Yao would have long since died.
Just as the group of greater demons was about to attack, footsteps suddenly sounded from the sky. These footsteps were very slow, but every step was like a heavy hammer that ruthlessly struck the hearts of every greater demon, causing their heartbeats to involuntarily accelerate.
All the demons immediately looked into the distance and saw a young man in a white robe walking over.
“It’s Guardian Shen from the Demon Suppression Division!”
The pupils of these demons constricted.
Everyone knew that this young man in front of them definitely did not have the strength of a Star Rank cultivator. Just the sound of his footsteps was enough to make them feel uncomfortable. It could be seen that he had hidden his strength.
Nangong Yao also raised her eyes, her coldness carrying a hint of surprise. She didn’t expect that this person of the same generation who was closer to her when they first met would actually chase after her. “Brother Shen, you’re no match for them. Leave quickly and tell my Nangong family’s ancestor that Yao’er won’t be able to repay the Nangong family in this life.
Shen Ping smiled faintly. “Sister Yao, you should say this to your ancestor personally.” He was already standing in the air above the lake, calmly looking at the dozen or so demons. “You are from the Demon G.o.d Sect. There should be a spy of yours in the city. Which aristocratic family is it? Or rather, which guardian is it? And where is the Demon G.o.d Sect’s nest? I’m interested in all of these. If anyone tells me, I can let you live. Remember, I’m only going to say this once.”
The demons looked at each other.
“Don’t be frightened by this fellow. He’s just a teenager. No matter how strong he is, how powerful can he be? Let’s go!” The green flood dragon shouted
coldly.
However, as soon as it finished speaking, its body suddenly cracked, and its blood flowed out uncontrollably. In the blink of an eye, it became a blood bead containing a pure wind-element energy bloodline.
This scene immediately scared the other Star Realm demons silly.
The green flood dragon was the leader of this operation, and its strength had already reached the middle stage of the Star Realm. It could even contend against a human at the late stage of the Star Realm. However, it had died in the blink of an eye. It was obvious that the young man in front of it was definitely not at the Star Realm.
Another Greater Demon turned into a drop of blood and floated in the air. Shen Ping shook his head. “Looks like you don’t plan to answer me. Since that’s the case…”
The other demons fled without thinking. However, before they could escape from the lake, they all turned into blood beads.
“You’re really stubborn. Are your bones so hard?”
Shen Ping could not help but frown. Demons were simple-minded and were easily controlled. Didn’t this group of demons know that as long as they revealed a little, they would be able to rise rapidly in the future?
What was so good about following the Demon G.o.d Sect? In the future, they would still be used as cannon fodder.
Nangong Yao’s face was filled with shock. These demons were not weak. Even the late-stage Star Realm cultivators sent by the dynasty of the Demon Suppression Division might not be able to take them down. In the end, they all died in less than three to five breaths. She looked at the white-robed young man in the air. For the first time, she felt a trace of admiration for her peers.
“Star Palace Realm. I didn’t expect Brother Shen to be so talented. I’m impressed.” Nangong Yao struggled to get up and bowed to Shen Ping. “Thank you for saving my life, Brother Shen.”
Shen Ping waved his hand, and more than ten blood beads were put into his sleeve. He landed on the island and said with a smile, “Sister Yao, you don’t have to be so polite. We hit it off at first sight, so it’s only right for me to save you. However, I hope that Sister Yao won’t reveal my strength.”
With Nangong Yao’s appearance and personality, it was obvious that she was the kind of person who would keep her promises to the death. It was obvious that she was influenced by her True Spirit.
“Brother Shen, don’t worry. I won’t reveal anything.
She did not dislike Shen Ping’s closeness because she could tell that he did not have the desire of a man and a woman. Instead, it was a sign of complete intimacy.
“This is a healing elixir I concocted. After you take it, your injuries will improve
a lot.”
He handed Nangong Yao a blood-brown elixir. The other party swallowed it without any hesitation, not worried that there would be any tricks on it.
After consuming it, waves of bloodline power surged, and the heavenly treasures and water-attribute bloodline energy immediately nourished Nangong Yao’s body.
In a short period of time, her withered bloodline energy quickly recovered, and her injuries healed at a speed visible to the naked eye. To her surprise, she did not ask what medicinal pill this was. Needless to say, it was definitely Big Brother Shen’s opportunity.
“Let’ s go back to Jizhou City.”
On the way back, Shen Ping asked, “Sister Yao, do you know the background of the Demon G.o.d Sect?”
Nangong Yao shook her head. “I’m not too sure. My Nangong Family only has some scattered records. The Demon G.o.d Sect is a powerful force pa.s.sed down from ancient times. Many aristocratic families in the Xia Dynasty had dealings with this force. Their main purpose is to obtain some materials. As for the rest, I don’t really understand.”
While the two of them were talking, they saw the anxious old ancestor of the Nangong Family. When he saw Shen Ping and Nangong Yao, he was stunned for a moment before joy appeared on his face. “Yao’er, are you alright?”
Nangong Yao hurriedly said, “Great-grandfather, I’m fine. It’s all thanks to Big Brother Shen’s timely arrival that I managed to shake off those demons with Big Brother Shen’s help.”
“Good, good!” Old Ancestor Nangong looked at Shen Ping. “Thankyou, Nephew Shen. Our Nangong Family will remember this favor.
The three of them did not say much and immediately returned to Jizhou City. Next, it was time for the various aristocratic families to argue with each other. After all, the Nangong family had been injured this time, and it was a Star Rank great demon who had personally entered the city. All the aristocratic families had an undeniable responsibility. Even the lord of the Demon Suppression Division expressed his apology, saying that he had something urgent to deal with and could not help.
Then, the Demon Suppression Division compensated him with a lot of things to appease Old Ancestor Nangong’s anger. However, this matter had indeed made the compet.i.tion between the various aristocratic families gradually become more obvious.
“Brother Nangong, what happened last time must have been done by the Jin family and the Wu family. Our Cheng family has always been on good terms with the Nangong family. This time, we have to form an alliance to resist the other two families.”
Old Ancestor Nangong nodded, “Brother Cheng is right. In the future, my Nangong Family will advance and retreat with the Cheng Family.
After the two of them finished chatting, Old Ancestor Nangong looked for Nangong Yao and told her some of the information he had learned. “Yao’er, you and Guardian Shen are of the same generation, and you’ve been through thick and thin together. He also saved your life. You should tell him these things yourself so that you can get closer to him.”
“Yao’er understands.”
Not long after, Nangong Yao arrived at Shen Ping’s residence. “Brother Shen, the last time the members of the Demon G.o.d Sect attacked, the Jin family secretly did something behind the scenes.”
Shen Ping nodded. “The Jin family. Alright, I understand.”
Nangong Yao hesitated and said, “Brother Shen, if you want to investigate the Demon G.o.d Sect, you must be careful. The Demon G.o.d Sect is quite powerful. Even if you’re at the Star Palace Realm, you might not be safe.” Shen Ping smiled and said, “Sister Yao, don’t worry. I will be careful.” After saying that, Nangong Yao did not leave immediately. Instead, she hesitated and continued, “Brother Shen, the Nangong Family hasn’t thanked you properly for what happened last time. I wonder if Brother Shen has time to go to the Nangong Family?”
“Oh’” Shen Ping said with a faint smile, “Does Sister Yao want to invite me, or is it your ancestor’s idea?” Then, he said, “If Sister Yao invites me, I will definitely go.”
Nangong Yao couldn’t help but ask, “Why is Brother Shen so special to me? We aren’t that close!”
