Chapter 390 – The Nangong Family’s Upheaval
“The fuck #%&¤…”
While climbing out from the huge crater, Nangong Wentian was cursing loudly. This guy obviously wasn’t prepared, and had no prior experience at all, that’s why his was covered with dust. Compared to him, Jiang Chen’s image was much better. Although he too had been thrown into the ground, he just looked calm.
After Nangong Wentian came out from the crater, he immediately found out something wasn’t right, because he was welcomed by countless enquiring glances.
“Damn it, what are you looking at?! Get lost!”
Nangong Wentian was truly pissed off, he was in a bad mood after being thrown into the ground like that, and now there were so many people looking at him as if he was a monkey. He was unable to endure it.
“Why are you guys still looking at me?! Never seen such a handsome man before?! Fuck!”
Nangong Wentian kept cursing at those bystanders, and while getting rid of the dust on his body, he was walking away from where he landed.
“Hehe, but I am still far away from brother Wentian!”
Nangong Wenyang responded with a laugh. Both of them were clearly close.
“You asshole!”
These brothers were clearly happy to see each other.
“Brother Wentian, something big is happening back home, we need to rush back now!”
Nangong Wenyang’s expression became serious.
“Wenyang, what’s going on? My dad only asked me to come back as soon as possible, but he didn’t mention anything else?”
Nangong Wentian asked in an impatient manner.
“It is eldest uncle, he just couldn’t get over the fact that grandfather made your dad the next Family Chief. After he left with his family, he has now come back, and he wants the Family Chief to hand over the position.”
Nangong Wenyang angrily said.
“I knew it had something to do with Nangong Yunzheng, that guy just won’t stop causing trouble! However, it won’t be easy for him to fight for the position of Family Chief!”
Nangong Wentian coldly harrumphed.
“It’s different this time, because the Profound River Palace is involved.”
Nangong Wenyang said.
“What?! Why does the Profound River Palace want to involve themselves in the Nangong family’s internal conflicts? Is it because of grandpa’s treasure?”
Nangong Wentian exclaimed.
“What is the Profound River Palace?”
Jiang Chen asked.
“The Profound River Palace is the number one sect in the Southern Continent, and its status is equal to the Martial Saint Dynasty in the Eastern Continent. It is the superpower that rules the entire Southern Continent, and they usually don’t interfere in the internal conflicts of other powers and families, but this time they’re involved. I don’t think the reason behind them doing so is simple.”
Nangong Wentian’s brows were tightly knitted in a frown.
“What brother Wentian said is correct, when a superpower like the Profound River Palace decides to put their hands on the Nangong family’s internal conflict, there must be a big motive behind it. Our Family Chief is guessing that it’s highly possible that it’s related to eldest uncle, Nangong Yunzheng. He believes he has made an agreements with them and told them about or secret family treasure.”
Nangong Wenyang said while gnashing his teeth in anger.
“Using the Profound River Palace to get rid of your father, and then help him obtain control of the Nangong family, fulfilling his own desire for high power and authority. As an exchange, Nangong Yunzheng might have promised to give them your secret family treasure.”
Jiang Chen said.
Nangong Wenyang threw a glance at Jiang Chen. He didn’t feel much regarding this friend Nangong Wentian had brought back with him, but what Jiang Chen said was correct.
“Brother Jiang’s conclusion is the same as the Family Chief’s. A few days ago, eldest uncle gave the Family Chief his final warning, and in two weeks’ time, he will hold a competition. The final result of this competition will decide who will get to be the next Family Chief, and who gets to control the treasure left behind by grandpa.”
Nangong Wenyang said.
“What kind of competition?”
Nangong Wentian asked.
“Although he said it is a competition, but in fact, it is a deathmatch, because the Profound River Palace is involved, and the Family Chief can’t just reject this proposal. There will be three matches, the first one is between you and Nangong Wenyen, and the second match is between Family Chief and Nangong Yunzheng. Because you are the Nangong family’s young master, you can’t escape from the match, and the top of the Nangong family has the same thought, only the strongest man from the younger generation can be the Nangong family’s young master.”
Nangong Wenyang continued, “This battle will decide survival or extinction for the Nangong family, the treasure left behind by grandpa is our biggest foundation, and we can never give it to any outsider. Furthermore, Family Chief doesn’t want to ruin the Nangong family under his hands, that’s why he called you back in such urgency, as he needs you to fight for the survival of the Nangong family, but…”
“But what?”
Nangong Wentian’s expression turned real ugly, because he never expected his eldest uncle to actually sell his own family to outsiders.
“Brother Wentian, I need to warn you, Nangong Wenyen broke through to the Combat Soul realm not long ago, and with your current cultivation, I don’t think you will be a match for him.”
Nangong Wenyang said in a worried manner.
“Looks like eldest uncle is really determined to win this battle. How long do we have until the match?”
Nangong Wentian asked.
“Two weeks.”
Nangong Wentian felt time was too short. Even for a genius like him, trying to break through to the Combat Soul realm was not an easy task.
“Two weeks? Fine, Nangong Wenyen, I’ll definitely fight you! I won’t give up even though I only have two weeks, and since this concerns the survival of the Nangong family, I, Nangong Wentian will never surrender!”
Nangong Wentian clenched his fist so tightly that cracking sounds could be heard.
After calming himself down, Nangong Wentian turned to Nangong Wenyang and asked, “My dad’s strength is similar to eldest uncle, I think it will be very difficult for them to defeat each other. I’m sure eldest uncle think I will be defeated, so who will fight in the third match?”
“The third match will be fought with any helper we can find. I’m sure Nangong Yunzheng has found a formidable warrior to help him, and that person might be a mighty warrior from the Profound River Palace. However, for us, we still haven’t found anyone strong enough. Therefore, our only hope is that you and Family Chief can win the match.”
Nangong Wenyang said.
“Looks like Nangong Yunzheng has properly prepared this time.”
Nangong Wentian clenched his teeth. He could suddenly feel a tremendous pressure resting on top of his shoulders.
