Monarch Night

In the following two or three days, Yan Nandu lived rather comfortably. Although troubled in his mind, he knew deceiving Dongfang Sansan was the greatest victory.

So Yan Nan paid it no heed.

You Guardians want to kill the Heavenly King Flute, go ahead!

I don’t oppose you killing him, as long as you can find him.

And from my side, it’s like hiding a treasure chest; what could you possibly do to me?

Thinking of it this way, the world suddenly expands.

However, sometimes, he still went to check on the Heavenly King Flute who was nursing his wounds.

"Ning Zai Fei, this time you stirred up a hornet’s nest."

When Yan Nan said this, his feelings were truly peculiar.

Honestly speaking, if Fang Che were really dead, among the hornets stirred by the Heavenly King Flute, he was definitely one!

Although it was impossible to slap the Heavenly King Flute to death, eventually, Ning Zai Fei wouldn’t expect to be used for anything important anymore. Setting him up with a deadly mission was an act Yan Nan could definitely commit.

But right now, Fang Che is not dead.

Therefore, the Wei Wo Zheng Sect hardly has any major issues now; just Sun Wutian who would be relentless. At that time, have the Heavenly King Flute apologize and offer Fang Che some compensation... presumably, Sun Wutian’s disgruntlement would be resolved.

However, the Guardians over there are truly furious at the top!

Lying on the bed with a swollen face, the Heavenly King Flute said, "Master Wu, I didn’t intend to, it... it was a misunderstanding."

Yan Nan with hands behind his back and side-glanced, "Misunderstanding? Here among us, sure it’s a misunderstanding, it’s already explained, but can you explain to the Guardians over there?"

The Heavenly King Flute was dejected.

"So for the time being, you still have to..."

Just as he said this.

Suddenly.

A deafening explosion was heard outside.

Bang!

The sound was so intense that the bed the Heavenly King Flute lay on bounced half a foot high from the ground, almost throwing him onto the floor.

Yan Nan staggered unexpectedly, momentaneously furious: "What’s going on?"

Throughout the entire headquarters, countless places erupted with the Old Demons’ outrage: "What’s going on!"

Instantly, waves of aura that blocked out the sky soared into the air.

Even Duan Xiyang flew out high and swift.

The commotion was immense; only an expert could have caused such magnitude.

The Heavenly King Flute stared wide-eyed, vaguely sensing something ominous.

Yan Nan’s angry eyes and furrowed brow paced contemplatively.

As a superior, keeping one’s composure in the face of grave crises is fundamental. Therefore, after his initial rage, Yan Nan also immediately cooled down.

He must not panic.

Moreover, he just had to stay calm here and wait; naturally, someone would come to report what happened.

Soon thereafter.

The Internal Affairs Altar Master came rushing in: "Greetings to Vice Sect Master Yan!"

"Enter."

The Internal Affairs Altar Master entered, glanced at the bedridden Heavenly King Flute, his face instantly twitched involuntarily.

"What happened?"

Yan Nan inquired.

"Well..." The Internal Affairs Altar Master looked at the bedridden Heavenly King Flute, finding it difficult to speak: "It’s... related to Lord Ning."

"What happened?"

Ning Zai Fei propped himself up to ask.

"This... Lord Ning’s mansion was just attacked inexplicably, presumably by a blade; one cut, the entire Ning Mansion was obliterated, reduced to a deep pit... all Ning Family members, not a single... not a single one survived."

"!!!"

Yan Nan was stunned.

"..."

Ning Zai Fei froze, then suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his anger and shock overwhelming him, exclaiming furiously: "Sun Wutian! I absolutely cannot coexist with you! I swear... Wah wah..."

He then consecutively spat two mouthfuls of blood, his face like gold paper.

His body fell backward.

Even if Ning Zai Fei didn’t care about anything else or was heartless; but such a massive family, exterminated with one blade!

This was truly... somewhat unbearable!

"Sun Wutian?"

Even aside from Ning Zai Fei shouting in rage, Yan Nan’s first thought was also that it was Sun Wutian’s doing.

Only that fellow would dare act so recklessly at the headquarters!

Indeed, he was the only one with a motive right now.

But this was excessively vicious; exterminating a family with one blade, and considering they are part of the same sect, the Heavenly King Flute is still Sun Wutian’s subordinate, how could he do such a thing?!

Hence Yan Nan was also infuriated at this moment.

"It shouldn’t be Sun, the Chief Guardian’s doing..."

The General Affairs Altar Master’s sentence was not yet finished when there was the sound of wind.

Several Vice Sect Masters and over ten Old Demons entered together, Duan Xiyang was the quickest, appearing instantly.

The other experts should still be present at the scene.

"It wasn’t Sun Wutian!"

Duan Xiyang looked somber as water, saying: "It was Qingtian Blade!"

"Qingtian Blade?"

It had been a while, Yan Nan pondered briefly before recalling: "Wu Daotian?"

"Correct!"

"Wasn’t he dead?"

Yan Nan was slightly perplexed: "Back then, Bi Changhong and Chen Gu led countless experts in a pursuit and encirclement, wasn’t he killed thoroughly?!"

"I’m not sure what went on back then, I didn’t partake in that siege, but now the blade that destroyed Ning Mansion, with its undeniable Sword Intent, is the same as Wu Daotian’s blade; no one else could wield it!"

Duan Xiyang stated.

Yan Nan’s astonished gaze shifted to Bi Changhong’s face.

Bi Changhong was uncharacteristically embarrassed, saying: "Master Wu, back then they were exterminated. Moreover, we found corpses, only the corpses were damaged beyond recognition, yet felt somewhat familiar... Also, they never appeared again afterwards... so..."

Yan Nan frowned: "So how many of those Eighteen Heavenly Kings did you actually kill back then?"

Bi Changhong replied: "What can be confirmed is more than thirteen were killed! When identifying corpses in the aftermath, some bore a resemblance, verified and confirmed Wu Daotian and others were dead. Hence the report at the time was total annihilation!"
