?74: Chapter 74: The Ninth Under Heaven – Li Huantian 74: Chapter 74: The Ninth Under Heaven – Li Huantian Ye Xuan gave Azure Dragon some instructions.

    The first matter was about the news of his arrival in the Capital City, which could be directly released.

    This would let those who wished to kill him know his location, perhaps yielding some unexpected gains.

    The second point was that Ye Xuan asked Azure Dragon to find him a residence.

    He planned to stay in the Capital City for a very long time, and Azure Dragon nodded in agreement.

    As for the third matter, it was about needing a person.

    From now on, Linglong would cease to be a member of Earth Group and would continuously stay by his side; Azure Dragon immediately agreed to this as well.

    However, there was a small interlude in the middle, which was that Tie Li thick-skinnedly pleaded with Ye Xuan to allow him to follow Linglong.

    After some consideration, Ye Xuan also agreed.

    “Mr.

    Ye, with your arrival in the Capital, several leaders will definitely want to meet you...”

    Before Azure Dragon could finish speaking, Ye Xuan waved his hand to interrupt and said, “There’s no need for a meeting for now.

    Wait until I find out who wants to kill me; then, I will meet with the leaders myself.”

    “Alright, then I will relay this to the leaders.” Azure Dragon showed a bitter smile on his face.

    Only someone like Mr.

    Ye would be so casual; anyone else would have sought to curry favor with those in high positions a long time ago.

    All was settled.

    Azure Dragon commanded the members of Earth Group to lead Ye Xuan and the others to their new residence, and as per Ye Xuan’s instructions, the news of his arrival in the Capital City was also spread by Azure Dragon.

    ...

    In the eight great aristocratic families of the Capital City, the Nangong Family!

    Ye Canghai and his son were sitting in the inner hall with extremely ugly expressions on their faces.

    They looked at the Nangong Family Head with eyes filled with resentment.

    Bang!

    Ye Canghai slammed the table and rose in anger, shouting at Nangong Tian, “Nangong Tian, do you wish to destroy the Ye Family?”

    “Nangong brother, what are you talking about?

    I don’t understand what you mean,” Nangong Tian replied, with silver hair and an imposing aura that didn’t need to show anger.

    He picked up his teacup and took a slight sip, his expression unchanged.

    “Nangong Tian, don’t play dumb with me.

    I was the first to inform you about Ye Xuan’s arrival in Beijing.

    I truly underestimated you.

    To think the Nangong Family even has H2 missiles.

    Even if you want the Nangong Family to be destroyed, don’t drag our Ye Family down with you.” Ye Canghai roared repeatedly, but a hint of apprehension flickered in his eyes.

    It was known that even among the eight great aristocratic families of the Capital City, which hold significant positions in the military, politics, and commerce within the Three Realms, dealing with restricted weapons had already touched Xia Country’s red lines.

    If the bigwigs of Xia Country were to learn of this, how could they let it go easily?

    No wonder Ye Canghai was so enraged; his intention was to mend relations with Ye Xuan and to allow the Ye Family to develop smoothly.

    If Ye Xuan could return to the Ye Family, there couldn’t be a better outcome, and this was the reason why he wanted Ye Ping to return home.

    But now, Ye Canghai deeply regretted his actions.

    He had assumed that since Nangong Tian knew about the backing Ye Xuan had from several bigwigs of Xia Country, he would share the same thought.

    However, he didn’t expect that because Nangong Yun died at the hands of Ye Xuan, it had driven Nangong Tian insane, leading him to take such irreversible actions.

    What made Ye Canghai the most uneasy was that the Nangong Family actually possessed H2 missiles.

    Had Nangong Tian gone mad?

    What on earth was the Nangong Family trying to do?

    At this point, Ye Canghai didn’t want to speculate why the Nangong Family had such weapons.

    The pressure from the bigwigs of Xia Country before him was his immediate concern.

    Everyone knew of the great grudge between Ye Xuan and the Ye Family, so when such an incident occurred, the Ye Family was the first to become the target of suspicion.

    Had they become a scapegoat for the Nangong Family?

    “Canghai, brother, I have no idea what you’re talking about.

    What H2 missile?

    You mustn’t frame my Nangong Family,” Nangong Tian said steadily, a trace of smug triumph curling at the corners of his mouth.

    “Hmph!”

    Watching Nangong Tian’s smug expression, Ye Canghai laughed bitterly in anger, saying, “Fine, fine, fine, since you want to drag my Ye Family into this, I might as well tell you: Ye Xuan is not dead; he has already arrived in the Capital City.

    Should he learn that this matter is the doing of your Nangong Family, you are well aware of the consequences your Nangong Family will face.”

    “Cang Hao, let’s go.”

    Ye Canghai called to Ye Cang Hao, and turned to walk towards the door.

    However, before Ye Canghai could step out, his stride suddenly halted, and he turned back to Nangong Tian with a cold laugh, “Nangong Tian, although the Ye Family is now in a precarious situation and Great Xia is on the brink of disaster, you should know that Ye Xuan carries the bloodline of my Ye Family.

    Despite his hatred for us, my Ye Family is not yet at the point of extermination.”

    “You better watch yourself.”

    With his words resounding with finality, father and son then left the Nangong Family home.

    Crack!

    A delicate teacup was crushed to dust, and Nangong Tian’s face grew extremely dark.

    He had never imagined that, after the bombardment of the H2 missile, Ye Xuan would still be alive and had already arrived in the Capital City.

    “Ye Canghai, you old coot, since you won’t avenge Yun’er and are only focused on mending ties with that bastard, don’t blame me for being ruthless.

    I will ensure your Ye Family never recovers,” Nangong Tian said ominously.

    “Summon someone to reply to Mr.

    Antar, and tell him that I agree to his proposal,” commanded Nangong Tian with manic fervor, prompting the servant to quickly exit and convey his message.

    At this moment!

    Although Nangong Tian had already gone mad, no longer caring about anything, he knew the severity of the situation.

    Facing Ye Xuan, an Innate Martial Artist, his Nangong Family could be facing extinction at any moment.

    “No, it seems I must really use the Summoning Heaven Token now.

    But is that man truly still alive?”

    Nangong Tian muttered to himself, his voice lacking confidence.

    However, at this point, the Nangong Family would sooner or later be exposed to Ye Xuan, and if they waited for Ye Xuan to come knocking, the Nangong Family wouldn’t stand a chance to resist.

    To strike first is to gain the advantage; to act later is to court disaster.

    This principle was clear to Nangong Tian, and it made him hesitate no longer as he stood up and walked towards the ancestral shrine.

    An ancient wooden token, engraved with the words “Summoning Heaven,” was in Nangong Tian’s hand.

    Holding the token, his face changed drastically, and he felt intense pain in his palm, almost dropping the token to the ground.

    “Li Huantian, the ninth-ranked master in the world a hundred years ago.

    Is he really still alive?” Nangong Tian questioned softly, a strange glint in his eyes.

    This Summoning Heaven Token had a significant history; a hundred years ago, Nangong Tian’s grandfather had saved a gravely injured remarkable man, who was the then ninth-ranked master in the world, Li Huantian, whose cultivation was at the Innate Realm.

    After Li Huantian’s recovery, he bestowed this Summoning Heaven Token and personally promised that within a hundred years, should the Nangong Family face extinction, if he was still alive, his descendants could seek him out at Langya Mountain, and he would surely lend a hand to the Nangong Family once.

    “Whether he is alive or not, this is our last hope,” Nangong Tian grasped the token tightly, his voice growing exceedingly resolute.

    A private plane soared into the clouds, and unbeknownst to all, Nangong Tian was aboard that private plane with the Summoning Heaven Token, on his way to Langya Mountain to seek out the legendary ninth-ranked master of the world, Li Huantian.
