Chapter Thirty-Seven: Menacing
Bai Ningxi said with some uncertainty, Dugu Hanqiu and they were shocked when they heard this, the three of them looked at each other, as if they felt very strange about this, Qin Mulan was puzzled and said, "Is the palace master ...... Don't remember?"
Bai Ningxi slowly lowered her eyes, and her tone was flat, "Remember, I just didn't expect it to be so fast." ”
Her words once again puzzled them, and Qian Fanmeng stepped forward to her again: "Palace Master, why don't you rest first, and let's cast a spell to see how the demon seed in your body is doing?"
"Yes, Palace Master, let's first look at the situation of the demon seed in your body, if this demon seed can really help the palace master's cultivation without causing other effects on the palace master, then it is naturally the best. Dugu Hanqiu also hurriedly opened his mouth to persuade, Bai Ningxi was stunned for a moment, and then looked at his hand with some reluctance, and then nodded, "Okay." ”
When the words fell, Dugu Hanqiu and they cast a spell together to urge the demon seed in Bai Ningxi's body, and Bai Ningxi sat cross-legged between them, letting their spiritual light go back and forth from herself, at first, Bai Ningxi noticed that there seemed to be a knife in her body, she couldn't help but scream, but after that, she felt a cold breath in her body.
Dugu Hanqiu and they kept their eyes closed, concentrating on casting spells to sense the demon seed in Bai Ningxi's body, constantly winding it with spiritual power, instilling it back and forth, and Bai Ningxi only felt a cool breeze blowing, she slowly closed her eyes, feeling that the world was silent, and in the darkness, there seemed to be something moving back and forth in her body, gently, as if there was nothing.
Gradually, she felt that her body began to be filled with a force, and that power gradually filled her entire body, Bai Ningxi couldn't help clenching her fists, trying hard to endure it, but the more she went on, the stronger the power, she couldn't help it, she opened her eyes suddenly, and at that moment, her clenched fist was also released!
The moment she opened her eyes suddenly, what followed was the explosion of the powerful force in her body! A huge stream of demonic breath erupted from her body and violently impacted all around! The shock made Dugu Hanqiu and the others all fall backwards in unison, and the spiritual light in their hands dissipated.
"What's going on?" Bai Ningxi couldn't help frowning when he saw them fall to the ground one by one, Dugu Hanqiu was the first to get up and kneel down when he heard this, and said with a straight face and joy in the face of Bai Ningxi: "Congratulations to the palace master! The palace master's cultivation has reached the highest level of the phantom realm, and he is just a little short of rushing into the realm of evil spirits!"
Bai Ningxi's heart trembled when she heard this, and the corners of her mouth suddenly smiled, she turned her head to look at Qin Mulan and Qian Fanmeng, and the two of them also knelt down and said hello, "Congratulations to the palace master!"
"Is it really the highest level of the Phantom Realm? Really?" Bai Ningxi asked uncertainly, and Dugu Hanqiu nodded, Bai Ningxi still couldn't believe it, and still felt very incredible, "I practiced day and night before, and it was not easy to break through the highest level of the Confusion Realm and enter the Phantom Realm, but now, I have reached the highest level of the Phantom Realm?"
Bai Ningxi's incredulous gaze turned to Qianfanmeng, "Qianfanmeng, you are also in the realm of phantoms, you say, have I really reached your realm?
And Qian Fanmeng smiled and nodded vigorously, "Yes, palace master, your phantom realm is already above me, just a little bit, you can break through the entire phantom realm and reach the evil spirit, all this is the effect of that demon seed, the palace master originally cultivated the law of the demon realm, there is demon breath in the body, and the demon seed is the icing on the cake, not only is there no harm, but it is also a hundred benefits for you, it is precisely because the demon seed has enhanced a lot of the demon breath in your body, so the palace master can reach the phantom realm with the help of the demon seed in such a short time." ”
"I see. Bai Ningxi slowly hooked the corners of her mouth, "That means that I only need to use a little more force, and I can break through the Phantom Realm and go directly to the evil spirit, right?"
"Yes. The three replied in unison.
"Great, great!" Bai Ningxi couldn't stop laughing happily, "God help me! God help me!"
Nankong is shallow, you must not have thought that the demon seed into my body would improve my cultivation, speaking of which, I really want to thank you, if it weren't for you, I would still be stupid to use the demon seed to control the people of Jiangling City!
But now I don't need to, my cultivation has reached such a high level, if I want to deal with you to get the Dusheng Mirror and deal with the Qilin Gate, it will only be a matter of time! You wait, when I recover from it, I will go to you immediately! Bai Ningxi thought with hatred in her heart, and the desire in her eyes seemed to become more and more intense......
The sky soon darkened, and Nan Kongqian was still kneeling in the main hall, staring blankly at Nan Fengzhu's corpse, his eyes from the initial incredulous and unbelievable, to now, calm and emotionless.
Wei Xi had already left, because he had been broken in by the people of the Annihilation Palace earlier, so he had to send someone to strengthen the guards of the city gate, and step up his patrol to see if there were any people left in the city, plus those people had recovered their senses, he also had to appease those people first and send them home one by one.
The Dark Guard naturally also helped, and Gu Qing naturally left because he wanted to arrange the people in the mansion to tell them what happened, and then arrange matters related to Nan Fengzhu's funeral, and suddenly in the main hall, in addition to Nan Fengzhu and Nan Kongqian, there were only Lu Feiye and Ji Wan'er.
The cold wind hit, the snow was still fluttering outside, Lu Feiye and Ji Wan'er had been by Nan Kongqian's side, without saying a word, Ji Guan'er would comfort him a few words at the beginning, but after Nan Kongqian pulled the corners of her mouth, she didn't say anything again, and Lu Feiye had been standing quietly aside, quietly accompanying Nan Kongqian, because he knew that this way was the best.
They waited quietly until dawn the next day, when everyone returned to the city lord's mansion and reported the situation to Nankong.
The people have all settled down, and they have nothing unusual except that they don't remember what happened before, and the city has also strengthened patrols and defenses, and there is no trace of the disciples of the Destruction Palace for the time being.
And Gu Qing's side has already arranged the city lord's mansion up and down, everything is just waiting for Nankong's order, and with one order, everything can be executed.
Everyone was waiting for Nan Kongqian to give an order, Ji Wan'er saw that Nan Kongqian hadn't eaten for a day and a night, so he went to the dining room to help him get something to eat, and he was still sitting in place, compared to him yesterday, he regained some consciousness today, but there was still guilt and sadness in his eyes.
In one night, he thought about a lot of things, from the grief and sadness at the beginning, to the self-blame and guilt in the middle, to the forced acceptance in the end, there was not a moment when his heart was not tormented.
He caused it all!
If he hadn't insisted on putting the demon seed into Bai Ningxi's body, then she wouldn't have had a chance to kill her father; if he hadn't blindly dealt with her and ignored her father, then his father would not have been exposed to her sight......
He slowly closed his eyes, his heart was still aching, he didn't have time to prepare, his only relative in the world left him forever, and since then, he is really alone......
"Tell the world, the city lord of Jiangling City, Nan Fengzhu, was riddled with a bad disease, and he passed away peacefully yesterday, and the funeral ceremony will be held in three days, and his son Nan Kongqian, officially succeeded to the position of the city lord, and the succession ceremony will be exempted, and the funeral ceremony of my father will be officially announced three days later, in order to express my father's sorrow and remembrance. ”
After a while, Nan Kong Qian slowly opened his eyes, and said word by word, Gu Qing immediately retreated when he heard the order, and Wei Xi and the others were stunned and were about to leave, but the moment they turned around, Nan Kong Qian suddenly stopped them-
"Brother Wei!"
Wei Xi and the dark guards stopped when they heard the sound, Nan Kongqian slowly got up, Lu Feiye hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, but Nan Kongqian just waved his hand at him, and then walked to Wei Xi's side, and told him in a very strong tone: "Strengthen the defense of the city, no matter what, we must ensure that there is no trace of the destruction of the palace in Jiangling City, I don't want my father's funeral to end up in peace!"
Wei Xi also nodded vigorously, "Don't worry, City Lord, I will do my best! I will never let the people of the Annihilation Palace mix into Jiangling City again and disturb the funeral rites of the old City Lord!" After that, Nankong Qian bowed slightly, and then he retreated, Mu Lian also made a gesture to leave when he saw the situation, Nankong Qian wanted to stop them, but he wanted to stop them, he thought about it, and still felt that he should adjust his state first, so he turned his head and said to Lu Feiye: "I'll go back to the room to wash up first, and then someone will bring some food to my room." ”
Lu Feiye nodded, his eyes were full of concern and worry for him, but Nan Kongqian turned his gaze as if he couldn't see these things, and turned back to his room.
Everything has to go on.
Although all this is because of the Dusheng Mirror, but the Dusheng Mirror is a treasure passed down from generation to generation in the Nan family, no matter what, it cannot be easily abandoned, and it must not fall into the hands of the Annihilation Palace, and Nan Kongqian has always remembered what Nan Fengzhu told him before his death, as well as his advice before he died, he said that he must protect the Dusheng Mirror no matter what, protect the Nan family, and protect the people of the entire Jiangling City!
"Dad, don't worry, no matter what, I will swear to protect the people of Jiangling City and Du Sheng Mirror, and I will never let the people of the Destruction Palace take advantage of it! I will never let Du Sheng Mirror fall into the hands of traitors!" Nan Kong looked at himself in the mirror with a very resolute gaze.
