"Teacher, since we already suspect they want to obliterate the Helian family, why are we still monitoring them? Wouldnât it be better to wait for Helian Fengâs news?"
Zhang Junlan asked in confusion, not understanding why Feng Wuchen still dispatched people to monitor them.
Feng Wuchen slightly furrowed his brow and said, "I feel itâs not that simple. With the strength of the two families, to annihilate the Helian family, they wouldnât leave them any chance. If it were me, the Helian family would have already been destroyed by now."
"If both the Ximen family and the Xiahou family truly wanted to eliminate the Helian family and have yet to take action, itâs likely theyâre waiting for the Helian family to seek help, and the only ones who can help them are us." Feng Wuchen continued.
"But if this is the case, what benefit would this be to the Ximen family?" Ling Muyun asked, puzzled.
"Ximen Xuanzi doing this brings no benefit, and would instead put the Ximen family in peril, dragging down the Xiahou family as well. Isnât this like shooting oneself in the foot?" Baili Yufeng frowned.
Long Ji shook his head and said, "The old fox Ximen Xuanzi would never let the Ximen family fall into danger. If Helian Fengâs words are true, the Ximen family surely has another conspiracy."
"Currently, Iâm also clueless; this is just a guess, and Iâm not sure of the specifics yet. Thatâs why I sent Nitian and Xuanyuan to secretly monitor, hoping to discover something." Feng Wuchen shook his head.
"I see, Chen Er really is clever." Xiao Qingqing praised, feeling immensely proud to have such an excellent son.
....
Inside the grand hall of the Ximen family.
"Family head, Young Master Zhu is here," Ximen Yunchong respectfully said.
"Quickly, please invite him in." Ximen Xuanzi happily laughed.
Ximen Yunchong swiftly brought in a person, who was none other than Candle-Extinguishing Heavenly God.
"Junior greets the head of the Ximen family and the three elders." Candle-Extinguishing Heavenly God politely bowed.
"Young Master Zhu, no need for such formalities, please sit quickly." Ximen Xuanzi happily laughed, gesturing for Candle-Extinguishing Heavenly God to sit down.
As soon as Candle-Extinguishing Heavenly God sat down, he got straight to the point: "Head of the Ximen family, since you urgently called for me, it seems things are going smoothly."
Ximen Xuanzi nodded and said with a smile, "Helian Feng personally went to the Dragon God Palace. That youngster is indeed clever, guessing that we would target the Helian family, so he must have gone to seek help from the Dragon God Palace."
"The first elder truly has divine foresight," Candle-Extinguishing Heavenly God sneered slightly.
"What should be done next, any suggestions from the first elder?" Ximen Xuanzi asked, looking at Candle-Extinguishing Heavenly God with his old eyes.
"The fish has taken the bait, and itâs hidden within the Ximen family." Candle-Extinguishing Heavenly God smiled wickedly, as if he had already sensed something.
Ximen Xuanzi slightly frowned, exchanging glances with the elders, all seemingly unaware.
"Young Master Zhu, what do you mean by that?" the first elder, Ximen Changkong, asked in confusion.
"Wind Shadow is very clever; the smarter one is, the harder it is to fool them, making them more prone to suspect. If he knows the Ximen family and Xiahou family intend to deal with the Helian family, what do you think he would do?" Candle-Extinguishing Heavenly God asked with an evil smile.
Ximen Xuanzi frowned again, pondering slightly, then said, "Send someone to monitor secretly and find out the truth."
"What the head of the Ximen family said is absolutely correct." Candle-Extinguishing Heavenly God said with an evil smile, disappearing instantly after finishing his words.
Hidden within the shadows of the Ximen family, Long Nitianâs expression drastically changed!
"Candle-Extinguishing Heavenly God!" Long Nitian was shocked in his heart, never expecting it to be Candle-Extinguishing Heavenly God!
"Long Nitian!" Candle-Extinguishing Heavenly God appeared in a flash, his palm gathering destructive energy, fiercely and mercilessly striking towards Long Nitian.
"You and the young master battled before, exhausting your essence blood. Your strength hasnât recovered yet, has it?" Long Nitian said coldly, fearless, as he launched a punch.
"Is that so?" Candle-Extinguishing Heavenly God sneered, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.
"Boom!"
"Puff!"
The fists and palms clashed with an earth-shattering bang, deafening, as in the moment of collision, Long Nitianâs face changed, and then a mouthful of fresh blood was spat out, his body shooting backward like a cannonball.
"How is this possible! Candle-Extinguishing Heavenly God couldnât have recovered so quickly, no, this isnât his power!" Long Nitian was shocked, never having anticipated such an outcome.
"Whoosh!"
Candle-Extinguishing Heavenly God flashed once more, his hand forming a claw, directly gripping Long Nitianâs throat.
"Long Nitian, with just this level of strength, you want to contend with this young master? Overestimating yourself!" Candle-Extinguishing Heavenly God mocked with a disdainful smile.
"This is... Heavenly Sovereignâs power! Has Heavenly Sovereign already awakened?" Long Nitian exclaimed in shock, racking his brain but unable to anticipate Candle-Extinguishing Heavenly God possessing such power.
Candle-Extinguishing Heavenly God sneered, "Didnât expect to catch a big fish like you, quite the harvest indeed."
Candle-Extinguishing Heavenly Godâs power was incredibly terrifying, and the wounded Long Nitian was completely unable to break free.
"Shameless villain!" Long Nitian cursed with difficulty.
"Youâre all too foolish!" Candle-Extinguishing Heavenly God retorted disdainfully.
"Young Master! Itâs Candle-Extinguishing Heavenly God! He has the power of the Heavenly Sovereign! The Ximen family has already colluded with the Tianzun Divine Palace!" In his panic, Long Nitian first transmitted this message to Feng Wuchen.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
Ximen Xuanzi and others flashed and appeared above the palace.
In just a moment, Candle-Extinguishing Heavenly God had captured Long Nitian alive, completely in an overpowering manner.
"Dragon God Clanâs Long Nitian! As expected, Wind Shadow did send someone to monitor." Ximen Xuanzi said with a chilling tone.
"How did Young Master Zhu detect Long Nitian hiding in the shadows? We werenât aware at all." Ximen Qing frowned and asked.
"Long Nitian is at the Almost Heavenly Venerate realm, so itâs normal we couldnât detect him, but unfortunately, his strength is far inferior to Young Master Zhuâs." Ximen Changkong said, secretly amazed at Candle-Extinguishing Heavenly Godâs powerful strength.
Ximen Xuanzi frowned and said, "Young Master Zhu possesses the power of a Heavenly Sovereign, it seems the Heavenly Sovereign has awakened."
"What? The Heavenly Sovereign has awakened?" Ximen Changkong and the othersâ faces all changed drastically.
...
Dragon God Palace.
While cultivating, Feng Wuchen received Long Nitianâs message, his eyes suddenly snapping open.
"Not good! Nitian is in trouble!" Feng Wuchen was shocked, never anticipating that the Ximen family had already colluded with the Tianzun Divine Palace.
"Xuanyuan! Come back immediately! Xuanyuan! Can you hear me? Come back immediately if you can!" Feng Wuchen immediately sent a message to Xuanyuan Moze.
But unfortunately, there was no response from Xuanyuan Moze.
Clearly, Xuanyuan Moze had also encountered trouble.
"Damn! Itâs a trap!" Feng Wuchen cursed angrily, silently blaming himself for being too careless.
Although Feng Wuchen guessed there was another conspiracy by the Ximen family, he didnât expect Candle-Extinguishing Heavenly Godâs appearance.
"Candle-Extinguishing Heavenly God possesses the power of a Heavenly Sovereign, could it be that the Heavenly Sovereign has awakened? Damn it!" Feng Wuchenâs face was extremely gloomy.
"Long Er." At this moment, Long Tian Chouâs voice came.
"Father, did you sense the power of the Heavenly Sovereign?" Feng Wuchen asked through transmission.
"Thatâs right, it is indeed the power of the Heavenly Sovereign, but not Zhu Hunâs, it seems something has happened on your end." Long Tian Chouâs voice came.
"Nitian is in trouble! He has probably been captured by Candle-Extinguishing Heavenly God, itâs my fault for being too careless." Feng Wuchen transmitted back, his fist clenching tightly.
