C5 Nangong tianwen's oath
Worryfree continued to live leisurely like this. Eighteen years had passed, but he still did not know that he still had a younger brother, nor did he know that he still had relatives, as well as his grandfather.
Although he really wanted to know things that his master didn't want him to know, he considered that his master had his own reasons, so he didn't ask anymore. He was waiting, waiting for the day when his master would personally tell him this secret.
Compared to Worryfree, Nangong Tianwen was much more accomplished. Although he was only eighteen years old, under the nurturing of the Devil Sect's Sect Leader, Nangong Jue, he had already cultivated a peerless martial arts.
Nangong Tianwen's talent was extraordinary, and he was also a good material for martial cultivation. Furthermore, with Nangong Jue's strict requirements and his own effort, he soon managed to grasp Nangong Jue's unrivaled divine might.
That day, Nangong Jue did not watch him cultivate. Every year, on the day of Nangong Jue's mother's sacrifice, no one would dare to disturb him.
Nangong Jue was alone in a cave at the back of the mountain, practicing the final move of the divine art that his grandfather had taught him. He was always unable to practice properly, so he didn't know why.
His palm strike was still not as powerful as his grandfather's. Instead, he felt a scorching liquid gushing out of his throat. Nangong Tian frowned and reached out to touch his acupoints as he wiped off the blood from the corner of his mouth.
It was the same every time he practiced this movement. His grandfather didn't tell him why, nor did he do anything wrong. He told him to comprehend it on his own, but half a month had passed and he still didn't have a clue.
Nangong Tianwen held onto his chest as he stood there to rest. He was still thinking about what had gone wrong just now. At this moment, a fifteen-sixteen year old girl came over with a teapot and a teacup in her hand. She happened to see Nangong Tianwen resting. There was even blood flowing from the corner of her mouth.
She quickly ran over and put down the things in her hands. As she supported Heaven's Inquisition, she sat down and asked, "Gongzi, did you practice that move again?" And then he started to complain about the Sect Leader, how could he be so heartless.
Nangong Tian asked as he swallowed a mouthful of blood, "Ling'Er, don't be rude. Grandfather made me comprehend it myself because he had his reasons." This girl called Ling'er wanted to say something, but Heaven's Inquisition stopped her.
Ling'er was a little girl that Nangong Jue had found for Heaven's Inquisition. She usually took care of his daily life alone. Ling'er was a very smart and nimble girl. She took good care of Nangong Tianwen.
She was also very bold. Even though she was just a little girl, she often bickered with the High Priestess about it. The High Priestess rather liked this bold little girl, so she decided to stay in the Devil Sect and be Heaven's Inquisition's companion.
For the past eighteen years, Nangong Tianwen rarely left the Devil Sect. He would only occasionally go on missions with his grandfather, or with Ling'er to play nearby.
Compared to when he was eight years old, Nangong Tian's martial arts had grown by a lot. He had improved by leaps and bounds. This caused Nangong Jue to feel very gratified. He felt that the date of his daughter's revenge was not far away.
Heaven's Inquisition had never forgotten what his grandfather had told him when he was young. Thus, in the past ten years, he did not relax even once. Every day, he would wake up early and cultivate, and when he was young, he did not need to worry about Nan Gong Jue. Now that he had grown up, he did not need to worry about Nan Gong Jue at all.
Nangong Tianwen had been quiet since he was young, but he still maintained his calm as he grew up. Thus, when Ling'er first came to the Devil Sect, she had thought that he was a mute.
Although Nangong Tianwen was the grandson of the Devil Sect's Sect Leader, he did not have the slightest bit of arrogance. When he was not speaking on a daily basis, everyone felt that his existence was too low …
Many of the people in the Devil Sect who had watched him grow up knew that Tianwen was actually very kind-hearted, just that he wasn't willing to speak. He was very nice to everyone in the cult and never put on airs.
Every time Nangong Tian asked about his mother's day of sacrifice, he would desperately practice his martial arts so that he would not have the time to think about it.
Nangong Jue was a person who did not know how to express his feelings. He would do whatever he wanted and through his own hard work, he had learned from a young age that only what he obtained through his hard work was truly his.
To his own people, he was no threat at all, but Heaven's Inquisition was in a completely different state when facing the enemy.
When Nangong Tian was in a rush to cultivate, he would often lose control of himself. Furthermore, Nangong Jue discovered that sometimes, Heaven's Inquisition's gaze would become very terrifying.
He remembered the day of Nangong Bi Ru's sacrifice last year, he came out of her room. Because he was too sad, he decided to go over to see how Nangong Tian was doing in cultivation.
When he arrived at the cave at the back of the mountain, he saw that Nangong Tianwen had mastered the first style. With a single palm strike, he shattered a very large rock in the distance.
Even now, Nangong Jue still couldn't forget the terrifying gaze he saw at that time. He was the leader of the Devil Sect, and he had never seen anything like this before.
However, he was still frightened by Nangong Tianwen's gaze. That gaze did not belong to Tian Wen. He was a silent child that did not fight with others.
He remembered one time when Nangong Jue brought Heaven's Inquisition to a branch of the Hua Shan sect to seek revenge for them. They had ambushed a few people from the Devil Sect, but because they were outnumbered, the Devil Sect still died in the hands of the Hua Shan sect.
Those few people had followed Nangong Jue since he founded his sect and fought together for dozens of years. Now, the actions of the Hua Shan Sect caused the Devil Sect to lose a few generals, and the Hua Shan Sect seemed to be at odds with the Devil Sect.
Every few days, there would be a sneak attack or cause trouble. The Devil Sect could no longer tolerate it this time, so Nangong Jue personally set off. Nangong Jue brought along Nangong Tian Wen in order to see the effects of his long practice.
In the end, he did not even need to do anything. Nangong Tianwen had used fifteen minutes to kill more than a dozen people. Furthermore, Nangong Jue had seen cruelty and killing without blinking in his eyes.
Nangong Jue suspected that when he first told him that Nangong Bi Ru's death was caused by some big sect, he did the right thing. Heaven's Inquisition was a good child, he couldn't just ruin it like that.
However, it was already too late. If Heaven's Inquisition really became a demon that killed people without batting an eye, Nangong Jue would have to take responsibility for his actions.
However, it seemed that the two of them would not be able to turn their heads back on this road. Actually, Nangong Jue had spoken to Tian Wen. However, his words were very tactful. He did not wish to damage Nangong Tianwen's confidence.
He knew that Nangong Tianwen was very determined to avenge his mother, and he also knew that this child cultivated very hard. He had personally witnessed all of this. However, he was still Heaven's Inquisition's grandfather after all. He still hoped that Heaven's Inquisition would be happy.
Ever since he was young, he had never asked a single question about his father. When he was young, he had thought that Heaven's Inquisition wouldn't understand, but as time passed and Heaven's Inquisition grew, he had yet to ask that question.
Nangong Jue originally hated Chen Qingfeng. He had always thought that if not for Chen Qingfeng's appearance, his daughter would not have left him and would not have died in Mount Wudang for no reason. This would have caused him to not even be able to see his daughter's grave.
He hated Chen Qingfeng, so he never took the initiative to mention this to Heaven's Inquisition. Since Heaven's Inquisition didn't ask, he didn't say it because Chen Qingfeng was his father after all. He didn't want Heaven's Inquisition to have another reason to turn him into a demon that would kill people without batting an eye.
Nangong Tianwen would never tell others what he thought in his heart. He had never even told his grandfather about it. Sometimes, when he stopped to rest, he would fall into a daze and think about his mother, whom he had never met.
There was nothing in Nangong Tian that he could recall. After all, he was still too young when he lost his mother, so he did not leave behind any memories. He did not even manage to see a blurry back view. To him, mother was a very vague definition.
He had never asked about his father, who his father was, where his father was now, or whether or not he was still alive. Heaven's Inquisition had always been sensible, and he had a feeling that his father's death was related.
Nangong Tianwen treated the Devil Sect as his home. When he grew up here, he would stay by his grandfather's side forever. However, all of this would be built upon his completion of his revenge.
Tian Wen and Wu You didn't know about each other's existence, but under the protection of Wu You, he didn't know anything about the deaths of his parents. He didn't have a burden of revenge, so he had been living a happy life for the past eighteen years.
Although the two brothers were separated by a great distance, they did not feel lonely towards each other. It was unknown if their souls were connected to each other or something.
Nangong Tianwen had to take out his longevity lock to have a look before going to sleep. This was the only thing he knew that his parents had left for him.
He touched the complicated and delicate patterns on the longevity lock and tried to imagine what his parents looked like, but no matter what, the images he imagined did not satisfy him.
Once, Heaven's Inquisition dreamt of a woman in the morning. He thought that the woman was his mother, but in the dream, he could not see her face clearly. All he knew was that she felt very good, very warm.
Sometimes, he did not know where the meaning of his life was. Then, he thought about it, and the only reason why he could continue to live was that he still had a huge grudge that he had yet to take revenge for.
When he woke up that morning, he asked Ling'er, who was dressing him, "Ling'er, do you have a mother?" While Ling'er was dressing her young master, she said, "Of course there is. My mother is good to me …"
She suddenly thought of something and quickly looked at Heaven's Inquisition. She then shut her mouth. Heaven's Inquisition saw that she did not say anything, so he did not ask anymore.
Among Nangong Jue's disciples, there were many experts with outstanding martial arts skills. However, the disciple he was the most proud of was Fan Yin.
He was adopted by Nangong Jue thirty years ago, and at that time, the Devil Sect was still just a little famous in the martial arts world.
Nangong Jue was trying to recruit strong people to join his Devil Sect to fight the world together. A fortuitous opportunity came when he encountered Brahma, who was starving to death.
Brahma was one of the unfortunate children of the famine, when many people became homeless and displaced. He was only about eight years old.
Seeing Fan Yin on the verge of death, Nangong Jue decided to bring him back. Thus, he went over and asked Fan Yin, "Are you willing to follow me?"
The starving Brahmin nodded, and so he survived in the Devil Sect. Not only did he have food, but he also had a place to live and clothes to wear.
He was very grateful to Nangong Jue, who treated him like his new parents. He also did his best, and with Nangong Jue's nurturing, he trained himself in a whole new set of martial arts.
Deep in Nangong Jue's heart, Nangong Jue only had one daughter. He had even thought of marrying Bi Ru to Brahma and then giving the Devil Sect he founded to Brahma.
Moreover, Nangong Jue also knew that Brahma had always taken care of Bi Ru since she was young. He truly liked Bi Ru, but Bi Ru didn't seem to have any feelings for Brahma.
Bi Ru seemed to only see Brahma as her big brother and didn't have any feelings between a man and a woman, but Brahma had always thought that Bi Ru would like her as much as he liked her.
