Chapter 446: The Death Of Nangong Xuanying

Translator: CatatoPatch Editor: Vermillion

When the golden rays of light disappeared, a thick mist of blood rose up and pervaded the surrounding .

Shrimpy’s body swayed in mid-air as it slowly floated back onto Whitey’s head . Lying on Whitey’s head, Shrimpy didn’t move any longer .

Nangong Xuanying opened his eyes wide . His sluggish eyes were wide open and they were filled with disbelief . He slowly shifted his gaze downwards and looked at his body which was filled with countless holes . After looking at his body, Nangong Xuanying became extremely depressed and he spouted a mouthful of blood .

His aura instantly weakened and every single trace of vitality left him .

‘Why… Why did this happen to me?’

He was actually killed by a shrimp . . .

His body was penetrated before the elixir managed to show its effects . Blood oozed out from all the holes on his body and even his heart had been penetrated by Shrimpy . It was impossible for him to survive .

There was no way he could keep his life after his heart was pierced .

Splatter!

He coughed out several mouthfuls of blood and his whole body started to shiver intensely .

As blood oozed from the holes in his body, he dropped down on his knees . Before long, Nangong Xuanying fell to the ground . He lay there without moving . His aura was quickly fading from his body .

The rain which had been falling for the entire night finally stopped and the dark clouds in the sky disappeared all of a sudden . It was as though those dark clouds didn’t exist in the first place .

Whitey raised its hand and scratched its round head . When it was scratching its head, it accidentally touched Shrimpy who was lying on its head . Grabbing Shrimpy, Whitey placed it on its shoulder before turning around . Whitey walked back into the restaurant and its eyes slowly turned purple .

When it felt as though Whitey shifted its position, Shrimpy crawled back up and made its way back onto Whitey’s head . It looked for a cozy location before lying down on Whitey’s head again . It fell back asleep in a few moments .

It seemed as though this matter ended like this…

Almost everyone who was sent by the Nangong Family was killed . They were killed before they were able to capture their target, Nangong Wuque .

This was an outcome which nobody expected .

Since Nangong Wuque was already heavily injured, the members of the Nangong Family thought that his capture would be certain after sending so many experts after him . There would be no way for accidents to occur . . .

With a Divine Physique Echelon expert who broke through two of the Supreme-Being’s shackles like Nangong Xuanying, it would be a piece of cake for him to catch Nangong Wuque .

However, an accident occurred and the results shocked everyone .

A restaurant which wasn’t taken seriously by the Nangong Family killed everyone sent by them .

It could be imagined how great the disturbance was when the news of the accident was heard by the Nangong Family .

Bu Fang looked at the corpse of Nangong Xuanying . The latter’s aura had completely disappeared, and he was already dead .

After Bu Fang waked out of the store, he headed toward a pile of rubble . Kicking away a piece of stone, Bu Fang revealed a person who was lying underneath the rubble .

It was Nangong Wuque, whose upper body was bare . His entire body was filled with countless scars and the aura emitted from his body was quite feeble . He was lying there with his lips swollen and he was sleeping soundly . He was too tired and exhausted . No matter what happened, he didn’t want to move at all .

The corner of Bu Fang’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch as he looked at Nangong Wuque who was snoring loudly . He assumed that this guy had already been killed by Nangong Xuanying’s kick . However, he discovered that he was just sleeping . He wasn’t just sleeping, he was in fact in deep sleep . This fellow was truly tenacious and he was just like a cockroach who couldn’t be killed .

Lifting him up, Bu Fang carried him back into his store .

After a light “Bang” sound was heard, Bu Fang closed the bronze gate in front of the store .

. . .

The surroundings of the store became calm and peaceful . The dark clouds which engulfed the sky started dispersing the moment the rain stopped . An ice-cold wind picked up and it started blowing through the area .

Nangong Xuanying’s body laid on the road and it didn’t have the slightest trace of life left inside it . It was quite a miserable sight .

Pieces of stone filled the ground in the surroundings of the store . There wasn’t a single piece of stone which wasn’t broken or shattered . However, as Heavenly Mist City’s arrays started to slowly recover, the ground gradually repaired itself .

Nangong Xuanying’s corpse was left lying on the ground and there wasn’t anyone who came to bring him away .

Crunch!

The sound of someone stepping on the rubble resounded as a person walked out from the darkness . He was clad in a black robe and his face couldn’t be seen clearly . The only thing which could be seen was the giant bronze chest which the figure carried on his back .

A scarlet and fearful glow was emitted from under his black robe .

“That puppet is quite amazing . . . It’s not made by my Puppet Sect . . . However, it’s quite strong . I’m pretty curious about it . ” A husky voice came from the man who was clad in black . His voice resounded in the surroundings .

A light chuckle escaped his lips and his voice filled the area . The sound which came out of his mouth seemed less like a chuckle and more like something being scrubbed . It was horrifying and appalling .

“Although I can’t accept something like that, I’ll leave him alone for now . After all, he left me the corpse of a Divine Physique Echelon expert . This is actually the Nangong Family’s second elder… I wonder how the Nangong Family would react if they saw a puppet made from his body . “

That person was standing next to Nangong Xuanying’s corpse .

After shrugging his shoulders slightly, the bronze chest on his back fell to the ground . When it landed, the ground shook slightly .

Creak . . .

A creaking sound came from the chest and it seemed as though the lid of the bronze chest was opened . An eerie aura came from within . That person extended both his hand and held onto Nangong Xuanying’s legs as he pulled the corpse into the chest .

Distorted roars and aggrieved wails resounded from Nangong Xuanying’s corpse as he was pulled into the chest . It seemed as though there was a twisted face which wanted to rush out from the chest .

However, the expert from the Puppet Sect chuckled in his hoarse voice and he extended one of his fingers toward the chest . He lightly tapped on Nangong Xuanying’s head .

Bang!

Nangong Xuanying’s corpse was pulled into the chest and the lid of the chest closed .

Crunch! Crunch!

A crisp sound of bones being chewed on came from inside the chest . The sound of bones breaking was also heard .

That person, who had scarlet eyes, turned around and looked at the restaurant . As he stared at the tightly closed doors of the restaurant, he had a profound look in his eyes . After quite some time, he grabbed his bronze chest and left the place .

His body gradually disappeared into the darkness .

A light breeze blew over and swept up the broken rocks on the ground . Crashing sounds resounded as the rocks were swept up by the wind .

. . .

Heavenly Mist City, Pill Tower .

Yang Meiji’s muscular body knelt on a yellow mat . She was extremely cautious and her mood was solemn . She didn’t even dare to breathe loudly .

There was an old man who stood before her . His hair was all white, including his beard and eyebrows . That old man’s eyes were closed and he breathed lightly . Every time he exhaled, his beard would flutter slightly .

“Teac… Teacher… How long do I need to stay in the Pill Tower?” Yang Meiji bashfully twisted her body and she asked the old man with a timid expression on her face .

In the next moment, the eyes of the old man snapped open and he looked at her .

“The Heavenly Mist City is currently facing a huge upheaval . The secret realm will be opened soon and this time will be different from the past . I will take you to the secret realm along with me . We must seize the lucky chance this time and you can only leave this place after the secret realm is opened . “

The opening of the secret realm?

Yang Meiji’s complexion instantly changed . A grave expression hung on her face and her thoughts started to run wild . Wasn’t there still a day or two before the opening of the secret realm?

“Are you too bored? You can go and refine a One-Mark Spirit Pill . Alchemy depends on constant practice . Your cultivation isn’t in the Divine Physique Echelon yet and you are only relying on the spiritual force which is stronger than that of an average person . You have to practice diligently . “

Yang Meiji grunted to acknowledge what he said and she listlessly lowered her head . She felt as though the situation she was in took a turn for the worse . She didn’t know what was in the secret realm . She had no idea what was the object valued by her teacher .

. . . . .

In the Nangong Family, Nangong Xuanhe was just chatting eagerly with the two experts from the Ancient Shura City . He didn’t expect that the Ancient Shura City’s experts would appear in Heavenly Mist City .

The Ancient Shura City was a first-rate faction like the Pill Palace . Moreover, it was the most mysterious faction among all the first-rate factions .

There was no one who knew the Ancient Shura City’s precise location . They only knew that there was a faction called the Ancient Shura City . This faction was even more mysterious than the Hidden Dragon Royal Court .

Due to how secretive the faction was, countless other factions feared and revered the Ancient Shura City . All of the experts which it sent were extremely powerful and no one dared to casually offend the Ancient Shura City .

Those two experts from the Ancient Shura City’s were both clad in a blood-red robe . They put in a solemn face as they spoke to Nangong Xuanhe about some trivial matters .

All of a sudden, a person rushed into the room with a panicked expression on his face . There was also a look of fright and alarm as he looked at Nangong Xuanhe who was sitting in the room .

“Great . . . . Great elder . . . There is bad news!”

The mind of this Divine Physique Echelon expert, who broke through one of the Supreme-Being’s shackles, was in a thorough mess when he rushed into the room .

“Why are you so flustered? Calm down!”

Nangong Xuanhe put on a solemn face and scolded the person who rushed into the room .

The experts from the Ancient Shura City were sitting in front of him . As such, he wanted to maintain his dignity before them . He didn’t want them to laugh at him .

However, when he heard what that guard said, his complexion drastically changed . He became serious in an instant .

“Great elder, everyone the second elder took to catch Nangong Wuque… died . As for the second elder, he’s still missing . I’m afraid that he might have suffered the same fate as them . “

This Divine Physique Echelon expert blurted out everything and his body trembled .

“What?”

Along with a rumbling sound, the chair in which Nangong Xuanhe sat on crumbled . He widened his eyes as he stood up and his aura surged out of his body .

“What did you say? Everyone who was sent to catch Nangong Wuque died?”
