C13 The Thunder in the Clear Sky

The 13th chapter - Thunderbolt in the Clear Sky

"Tomorrow, we will set up an examination here and establish an elimination match. Only the final three people will be accepted! I hope that the two of you can temporarily put down the hatred in your hearts. If you are injured now, it will be disadvantageous for the examination tomorrow!"

The seventh elder of the Heavenly Star Sect said, then smiled at the two of them, turned around, and left.

After a short period of silence, there was a sudden uproar, and the crowd once again exploded.

Qin Yueshuang stood on the stage for a long time, as if she was thinking of writing something. However, there was a trace of unnoticeable excitement in the depths of her eyes.

"Tomorrow, if you dare to come and take the examination, I will definitely kill you!" Qin Yueshuang said fiercely. When she thought of Tang Ao's cheap smile when he called her shabby, her eyes were about to spew fire.

However, for the sake of safety, she chose to call a truce.

"We'll fight again tomorrow!" Tang Ao did not say much and turned around to leave. However, the meaning of his words was very clear.

"Humph!" Looking at his disappearing figure in the crowd, Qin Yueshuang's beautiful face appeared somewhat cold. Following behind Qin Xinghuo and the others, she also disappeared into the distance.

This battle had come to an end!

Although it was very exciting, they did not see a true ending. Everyone felt a little regretful.

However, when they thought about the sect examination tomorrow, which would be even more exciting than now, their hearts were filled with anticipation.

The crowd gradually dispersed. In just half an hour, the news of the few great sects coming to Bluestone City to recruit people had already spread throughout all the streets and alleys.

"Haha, awesome! Brother Tang actually did not lose to that broken shoe. I, Nangong Xue, am happy for you!"

In a private room in a restaurant, Tang Ao was chatting happily with Fatty Nangong.

As for the two servants of Nangong Xue, they were called to an Inn to wait for him to return.

"Oh right, Brother Tang, I heard that the reason why that girl from the Qin Family was able to awaken the Dao Body of Heaven's Mandate was because of the Destiny Stone that you gave away?" Nangong Xue looked at him strangely.

Tang Ao nodded his head, appearing very calm. However, thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was a pity. Although the Destiny Stone was useless to him, he still felt a little unwilling to let Qin Yueshuang have it.

However, since things had already come to this, Qin Yueshuang had already completely merged with the Destiny Stone, and it was impossible for her to take it back. Even if he killed her, the Destiny Stone would disappear with her.

"Brother Tang is really magnanimous!" Nangong Xue laughed, but it was not hard to see that there was a hint of sarcasm in his words.

Tang Ao shook his head and could only smile helplessly.

"I heard that there have been some disturbances in the Outerealm Battlefield recently, and our family just so happened to have a batch of goods that needed to be transported there. I hope that nothing bad will happen!" Nangong Xue said after drinking the wine alone.

Tang Ao's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "Outer Domain? Are they the regions without any country?"

Nangong Xue nodded and explained, "The Xuanhuang Continent is so big, and it is very difficult for mortals to reach the end of their lives. If one does not use the Space Teleportation Array, even a cultivator who can fly will need to spend their entire life to reach the end."

"The continent is too vast, but we don't have that many people. Therefore, there are many regions that do not have a country. They are considered unregulated regions, and there are wars all year round."

Tang Ao nodded. He knew the Xuanhuang Continent very well. The only difference was that some of the regions that belonged to his era were no longer there.

Time was the most merciless, and the years passed by. One generation after another was eliminated, and the beauty turned into bones, and the genius turned into dirt.

The two of them chatted for a long time, and Tang Ao had a deeper understanding of the Nangong Family's power. This not only shocked him.

The Nangong Family was not only one of the richest commercial families on the continent, but their funds could also be compared to a small country on the Xuanhuang Continent. It was truly shocking.

Furthermore, they had the most famous intelligence network on the continent, and it was spread across the five regions. Even some regions outside the continent had spies.

Although they were not a martial arts family, such a foundation was definitely not something that an ordinary force could invade!

"Brother Tang, what do you plan to do? Will you participate in the examination tomorrow?" Nangong Xue asked.

Tang Ao thought for a moment, and finally nodded his head, "If I can pass the examination, perhaps I will join the Seven Killing Sect!"

Although Fatty Nangong looked carefree, he was very shrewd. He was born in a business family, so how could he not have any schemes?

As if seeing through Tang Ao's thoughts, Nangong Xue smiled and said in a low voice, "Brother Tang, are you going for the Seven Killing Arts?"

Tang Ao was startled. Although the Seven Killing Arts was not a secret, Nangong Xue was able to guess his thoughts so quickly, which surprised him a little.

Tang Ao nodded his head and did not explain any further. He started to eat.

It was not until late at night that the two of them slowly walked out of the restaurant and arrived on the street. Just as the two of them were about to separate, a figure suddenly rushed over.

Looking at the person, it was one of Nangong Xue's attendants.

Seeing Nangong Xue walk out of the restaurant, the attendant hurriedly walked to his side and whispered something into his ear. Then, he left.

"Elder Brother Nangong, what's wrong?" Tang Ao asked. He noticed that Nangong Xue's gaze was a little strange.

"Brother Tang, is my father in the city?" Nangong Xue suddenly asked such a baffling question.

Tang Ao was stunned for a moment, and then he seemed to have thought of something. An ominous feeling surged up in his heart.

"You have to be mentally prepared!" Nangong Xue's gaze was complicated as she looked at Tang Ao, and continued to say, "Just now, the news came from the family that our batch of goods has safely arrived, but they also sent another piece of news."

Tang Ao did not speak, and waited for Nangong Xue to continue. At the same time, the gloom in his heart became even darker.

"The Mayor of Bluestone City was ambushed in the Outerealm Battlefield, his life and death is unknown!" Nangong Xue said. Although the two of them had not known each other for long, they had some understanding of each other's family backgrounds.

Boom!

It was like a thunderbolt in the clear sky. Tang Ao's figure became unstable, and his vision turned black, causing him to almost fall to the ground.

At this moment, he thought of something, and fragments of memories began to piece together.

"So Fober had already known about it." Tang Ao muttered to himself, his voice trembling. He thought of when he went to the Qin Family alone, and Qin Wudao suddenly gave him a death order without any hesitation.

He also thought of the scene of the soldiers in the City Lord's Mansion disappearing into the city gate a few days ago.

"Brother Tang, are you alright?" Seeing Tang Ao's appearance, Nangong Xue not only sighed, but also asked.

Tang Ao was a little absent-minded, and instinctively greeted Nangong Xue, then turned around and left in a daze.

"Father is dead … Father is dead …"

Along the way, this was the only thing in Tang Ao's mind. It was not until he came to the City Lord's Mansion that he slowly woke up.

"Young Master, you're back!" From afar, Fober came to greet him.

Tang Ao raised his head and suddenly realized that Fober had become much older in the past few days. His white hair was even thicker, and his swollen eyes indicated that he had not slept for a few days.

"Father, where is father?" Tang Ao's voice was a little hoarse, and his eyes were dim. He looked at Fober in a daze.

Hearing that, Fober's body trembled. After a long time, his eyes turned red and he said, "Young Master, you already know …"

Tang Ao was silent. Fober's expression had already told him that everything was real!
