Chapter 2004 - 1993: The Reason Behind It All
"What a pity that Ao Cangsheng’s life shouldn’t have been cut short. These twelve warriors didn’t succeed, but instead, sacrificed their lives in vain."
"We all know that Ao Cangsheng is our Golden Palace’s most honored guest. How can you treat our proud young master like this?"
"Nonsense, Hao’er visited the Li residence today. How could he bring people here?
The head of the Li family said he wants to reason with me. Is this what you mean by the Li family fully taking advantage of all this?"
"If Ao Gongzi were just a stranger, our Golden Core Hospital wouldn’t care about his life or death."
"But now, Ao Gongzi is our Golden Palace’s most honored guest. Do you really think there are no people in our Golden Palace?"
Nangong Shouhong’s voice grew louder, and in a blink, he turned Ao Cangsheng and the Li family’s enmity into a conflict between the Golden Core Origin and the Li family.
Seeing Nangong Shouhong’s anger, the members of the Li family standing in the distance couldn’t help but show their fear.
Though they were strong, they could only submit to the second-tier forces of Chambers City.
And the Golden Core Origin, in terms of either power or influence, could easily rank among the top forces of Qian Daofeng City.
The Li family could surround and kill Ao Kangsheng, but they didn’t dare to truly tear their face with the Golden Core Origin.
What’s more important is the influence of the Golden Core Origin in the alchemical world of Qian Daofeng City.
As long as the Golden Palace offers a heavy price, many warriors would be willing to sell their lives for the Golden Palace, turning against the Li family.
Seeing Li Tianfeng speechless, Li Canglan snorted coldly and flashed in front of Nangong Shouhong.
"Nangong boy, I don’t care what you say. Since the thief killed my good son, I must have that child buried with my grandson!"
"Otherwise, not only him, but also those people he brought, none shall leave the Li house."
Li Canglan’s eyes were indifferent, and his tone was even more unreasonable.
"Does Li Lao Zhu mean that even if we have to stay together with the Golden Core Hospital people today, we must stay here?"
Nangong Shouhong asked with a cold smile.
Li Canglan snorted, "I didn’t mean that. I was just talking about other people."
"But we are here to be proud of your son. If he can’t return safely to the Golden Palace, how can we go back?"
Nangong Shouhong squinted his eyes, revealing his stance again.
"Why, won’t your Golden Core Origin stay together with my Li family?"
Li Canglan clenched his fists, almost furious.
Nangong Shouhong listened and said with a smile, "Mr. Li, you say exactly the opposite. I should say that!"
"You..."
Li Canglan widened his eyes, wishing to kill the person in front of him.
But he knew, first, he lacked the strength, and second, he lacked the courage.
Where is the Golden Core Hospital? That’s not something they can provoke.
Once their face is torn to shreds by the Golden Core Origin, their Li family won’t just have killed a single Li Hao.
With the slightest mistake, their Li family could completely disappear from Qian Daofeng City.
Just when Li Canglan was furious, two robust men from Wudang Hall suddenly arrived at Nangong.
Seeing this scene, Li Canglan couldn’t help but feel a stir.
If Wudang Hall could fully support their Li family, then the Li family might not be unable to contend with the Golden Palace.
Although Wudang Hall usually doesn’t show much, Li Canglan felt that Wudang Hall is definitely a powerful force.
At least, Wudang Hall’s power is more than twice that of their Li family.
Based on actual strength, Li Canglan even believed Wudang Hall had the strength to rank among the top forces in Qianye City.
"Mr. Li, we still have some matters between us, so let’s not bother here. Goodbye!"
Just as Li Canglan was dreaming, the old man in blue suddenly bowed to him and turned away.
Looking at their demeanor, they clearly didn’t want to clash with the Golden Core Hospital, so they left early.
This, just as a bit of momentum was gaining momentum, almost made a gush of old blood spurt out.
No one expected that at this moment, the two robust men from Wudang Hall would suddenly turn around and leave.
"Mr. Li, what do you think?" Should I take Ao Gongzi away from the Golden Core Garden? Or do we fight now?"
With the sudden departure of Wudang Hall’s warriors, Nangong Shouhong couldn’t help but laugh.
He took the opportunity to immediately attack the Li family, to see if the Li family dared to tear their face with his Golden Palace.
Li Canglan’s face was ashen, as if he was looking for someone to eat.
As Li Hao’s father, Li Tianfeng was trembling with anger. He stood aside, his eyes fixed on Ao Kangsheng.
"If the head of the Li family doesn’t speak, then I, as the head of the Li family, tacitly agree!"
With that, Nangong Shouhong waved his hand lightly.
Suddenly, three golden lights soared into the sky, transforming into three swords, landing on the ground where the two old men were trapped.
Under the joint attack of Qingyou Er Lao and the three warriors, the field cage created by the previous seven people instantly shattered into thousands of pieces.
As soon as Qingyou Er Lao broke out of the cage, he raised his hand to take a shot of the two Li clan warriors.
"Wait, sir!"
There was no waiting.
That was his most cherished son, yet he was killed like that.
As a father, he watched his enemy leave but dared not make any changes.
This was his son, his father’s and their Li family’s sorrow.
"Don’t worry, I won’t let Hao’er’s revenge go. In the future, as long as the Li family still stands on the banks of the Qiantang, this thief will have to die!"
Li Canglan squinted his eyes like a sleeping fox. Looking in the direction where Ao Cangsheng left, he suddenly said coldly.
Because of the protection of everyone in the Golden Core Garden, not a single person from the Li family dared to pursue Ao Kangsheng.
Half an hour later, Ao Cangsheng finally returned to the Golden Palace with Shouhong.
At that time, Nangong Mengyu was pacing back and forth in the Golden Palace. As soon as she heard the news that Ao Cangsheng had returned, she hurried over.
However, when she saw the red blood on Ao Cangsheng’s abdomen, her beautiful face suddenly lost its color.
"Father, what’s wrong with him?"
Nangong Mengyu hurriedly ran to Ao Cangsheng, anxiously asking.
Nangong Shouhong sighed, "This child was stabbed in the Void Sea by Li Tianfeng. In the future, he is most likely to be abandoned!"
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Nangong Mengyu suddenly said with a face full of fear.
She knew how strong Ao Kangsheng was.
Once such a powerful person lost his entire body’s cultivation, even a layman like Nangong Mengyu could imagine how deep a blow Ao Cangsheng would suffer.
"I’m fine!"
Seeing Nangong Mengyu’s fearful and anxious gaze, a trace of emotion arose in Ao Cangsheng’s heart, and he smiled slightly.
"I understand how you feel now. I know it must be painful to lose your accomplishments."
"But now that it has happened, you must face it. In this world, there are many people without accomplishments."
"If they can live happily and safely, so can you."
"Although you can’t win in Martial Arts anymore, that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Living a peaceful life isn’t bad either."
"You must drive for a while, don’t think too deeply. Even if you don’t venture into Martial Arts, you can achieve some accomplishments on a different path. One must believe in oneself, that’s the key to success."
Fearing that Ao Cangsheng wouldn’t be able to think, Nangong Mengyu couldn’t help but try to enlighten him.
But those words seemed too lengthy to Ao Cangsheng.
Ao Cangsheng gratefully smiled and said, "Miss Mengyu, I understand your intentions. But I’m fine, not as you think."
Seeing Ao Kangsheng still pretending to be strong, Nangong Mengyu felt an urge to cry.
She knew that at this time, Ao Cangsheng’s heart would be aching and that he would want to find a place to vent.
