Chapter 399 - 399 399 Liu Qingyang is killed

Chapter 399: Chapter 399: Liu Qingyang is killed Chapter 399: Chapter 399: Liu Qingyang is killed “Qingyang!”

Watching Liu Qingyang’s body turn into a black streak and plummet, Nangong Zhan felt panic to the extreme.

This time out, neither Liu Qingyang nor Nangong Zhan had anticipated such an event.

Nangong Zhan was just about to dive down, but Fan Shaoyun flashed in his way, forcing Nangong Zhan to watch helplessly as Liu Qingyang fell into the river within the mountain range.

That feeling of helplessness made death seem preferable to Nangong Zhan.

“Nangong Zhan, don’t be ungrateful. I spared your life not truly out of respect for your father’s acquaintance with mine. The Nangong family is nothing in the eyes of the Heavenly Moon Sect; I kept you alive merely to have you go back and tell Feng Wuchen that it was I who killed the man,” Fan Shaoyun arrogantly sneered.

Arrogant! Utterly arrogant!

The number one genius of the Heavenly Domain was just so haughty.

However, Fan Shaoyun had the capital to be arrogant, not only was he the top genius of the Heavenly Domain, but the Heavenly Moon Sect was also the strongest sect there.

To be an enemy of the Heavenly Moon Sect was undoubtedly a death wish!

Meanwhile, the two guards from the Heavenly Fire Mountain Villa were desperately rushing back, but what they didn’t know was that they simply didn’t have enough time.

“You bastard!” Nangong Zhan completely lost his reason, rage filled the heavens, and with a roar, he unleashed his terrifying power, throwing a punch at Fan Shaoyun.

“Boom!”

Fan Shaoyun didn’t dodge at all, letting Nangong Zhan’s punch land on his chest. With a thunderous explosion, despite Nangong Zhan’s formidable strength, he couldn’t push Fan Shaoyun back even half a step.

Nangong Zhan’s full-strength blow was negligible to Fan Shaoyun.

“Nangong Zhan, you are too weak!” Fan Shaoyun shook his head. Facing Nangong Zhan’s attack, he couldn’t be bothered to even dodge.

“Ahh!”

An irrational Nangong Zhan unleashed a furious roar, attacking Fan Shaoyun with frenzied blows.

“Boom boom boom!”

“Buzz buzz!”

After furiously throwing over a dozen punches, which still couldn’t shake Fan Shaoyun, he continued with a series of powerful martial techniques but still couldn’t inflict any damage on Fan Shaoyun.

“Stop wasting your energy! Save your energy to go back and tell Feng Wuchen.” Fan Shaoyun mockingly sneered, slowly extending his palm towards Nangong Zhan.

“Boom!”

An extremely terrifying Qi Force blasted towards Nangong Zhan, sending him flying a hundred meters away.

“Tell Feng Wuchen, in three months, I will take his dog life!” Fan Shaoyun sneered, and with those words, he vanished in a flash.

“Ah!”

Nangong Zhan let out an insane roar towards the sky, his cries were terribly frightening.

Fan Shaoyun’s strength was terrifying, and Nangong Zhan was utterly powerless against him.

“Qingyang! Qingyang!” An enraged Nangong Zhan suddenly snapped back to reality and immediately, in a panic, plunged downwards.

In the mountains, the river water flowed fiercely, and Nangong Zhan, flying above the river, continued downstream in search of Liu Qingyang, but he couldn’t find any trace of him.

The more Nangong Zhan searched, the more worried he became. Fan Shaoyun had struck heavily, and the final palm had hit Liu Qingyang’s Tianling cover. With such terrifying force, Nangong Zhan feared Liu Qingyang couldn’t have withstood it.

“Qingyang! Qingyang!” Nangong Zhan yelled frantically over the river.

Eventually, with no other choice, Nangong Zhan dove into the river, searching aimlessly at the riverbed.

If Nangong Zhan had looked for Liu Qingyang immediately, he perhaps could have found him.

Unfortunately, stopped by Fan Shaoyun for a while, Nangong Zhan had already lost Liu Qingyang’s exact location. The current was fierce, and Liu Qingyang was long gone, swept away by the water to an unknown destination.

At last, utterly exhausted, Nangong Zhan gave up.

Nangong Zhan’s face was stricken with grief and defeat, filled with immense self-reproach. If only his cultivation had been stronger, Liu Qingyang might not have been killed.

…

In a luxurious pavilion of Heavenly Fire Mountain Villa, Miao Qingqing, who was cultivating, suddenly felt an extreme sense of unease. The feeling was so intense and arose so abruptly.

“What’s going on? Why do I suddenly feel such strong unease?” Miao Qingqing slowly opened her eyes, feeling very puzzled.

She had never experienced such an overwhelming sense of anxiety before.

“Could something have happened to Big Brother Liu?” The first person Miao Qingqing thought of was Liu Qingyang.

Miao Qingqing and Liu Qingyang practiced the same cultivation technique and even cultivated a ‘lovers’ sword technique’ that resonated between them, allowing them to sense each other’s presence.

The more she thought about it, the more panicked Miao Qingqing became. She was restless, unable to suppress this bizarre emotion, and increasingly convinced that something had happened to Liu Qingyang.

“Brother Feng and the others are in seclusion. What should I do now?” Miao Qingqing was extremely anxious; Feng Wuchen was cultivating inside the Nine Layers Qiankun Tower, and without Feng Wuchen’s permission, no one could enter.

Having no other options, Miao Qingqing had to seek out Yi Yun and Huang Xuan, among other elders, and told them about her uneasy feeling.

“Miss Qingqing, everyone feels uneasy sometimes. You must be too exhausted!” the Third Elder said with a slight smile.

Huang Xuan nodded slightly and said with a smile, “Miss Qingqing, you can’t push yourself too hard in cultivation. It’s important to take care of your health.”

“Elder, it’s not like that. I really feel that something has happened to Big Brother Liu!” Miao Qingqing was extremely panicked, unable to express how anxious she was.

Seeing Miao Qingqing’s anxious and worried appearance, Yi Yun then said, “Miss Qingqing, how about this, I will immediately send someone to check the auction. You go back and rest well first.”

“Yes, thank you, Master Yi!” Miao Qingqing nodded.

Yi Yun was not just fobbing her off; he really sent several strong cultivators from the Tianyuan Realm of the fifth level and above to the auction.

The friend of the Pill Emperor, Yi Yun certainly wouldn’t dare to neglect it.

But shortly after Yi Yun had dispatched the strong cultivators to the auction, the two guards who had accompanied Liu Qingyang and Nangong Zhan on their trip frantically returned.

“Master! Something terrible has happened! Something terrible!” The two guards yelled in panic, rushing into the hall.

“What happened?” Yi Yun furrowed his brows and asked.

“Master, we encountered Fan Shaoyun at the auction, and Liu Qingyang and Nangong Zhan were pursued by him! We don’t know what happened to them now!” one of the guards answered in fright.

“What?” The faces of Yi Yun, Huang Xuan, and other elders turned pale with shock.

“It really happened!” Huang Xuan furrowed his brows, not expecting Miao Qingqing’s prediction to be true.

Miao Qingqing, along with Bei Dou Yan and others, hurried to the scene upon hearing the news, finding out that Liu Qingyang and Nangong Zhan had indeed encountered trouble. They immediately set off for the auction.

Not long after their departure, they encountered Nangong Zhan dragging himself back with severe injuries.

Seeing only Nangong Zhan alone, Miao Qingqing felt a sudden chill, her heart filled with dread.

“Nangong Zhan, where is Big Brother Liu?” Miao Qingqing asked in a rush.

“Qingyang… he was killed…” Nangong Zhan spoke after a moment of somber silence, his voice filled with sorrow.

“Killed…” The news struck Miao Qingqing like thunder, and she fainted on the spot.

“Did Fan Shaoyun do it?” Bei Dou Yan asked, frowning.

Nangong Zhan nodded his head in grief and recounted the events one by one. Everyone then immediately flew towards the great river where Liu Qingyang had vanished.
