Nine Nether Dragon Emperor-Chapter 151: As long as you dare to come, there will be no return!

Chapter 151: Chapter 151: As long as you dare to come, there will be no return!

The Kong Family had resided in Four Seasons City for generations.

Therefore, when two strangers entered the city through the Chunhua Gate and headed for the Kong Family’s estate, they were immediately tailed.

Soon, the two were cornered on a wide street.

"You really dared to come!" a middle-aged man sneered from the side.

The older of the two strangers was taken aback. "What do you mean?"

"Heh, stop playing dumb! You’re Ning Xuan, right? Get over here and let me see what you’ve got!" The speaker, clad in a black robe, wore a grin that stretched wider as he stared at the younger of the two, like a hungry wolf eying a lamb.

The young man shrank back in fear, waving his hands frantically. "I’m not Ning Xuan! You have the wrong person."

"Heh, they all say you’re arrogant, but it seems you’re just a coward! You’re at the peak of the Human Realm. Come on, I’ll suppress my own realm to fight you!"

The young man just kept shaking his head.

"Still too scared? Fine, I’ll give you a one-hand handicap!" After speaking, the black-robed man stood with his hands clasped behind his back, his disdainful aura on full display.

The young man grew frantic. "I told you, I’m not Ning Xuan!"

"If you’re not Ning Xuan, then who are you?"

The young man froze. "I..." He smacked his head in frustration.

"Can’t even remember your own name? Don’t worry, I’ll help you remember!" As the black-robed man spoke, he took a step forward. A giant hand of Element Force materialized and slapped down toward the young man’s head.

The space around it collapsed as the young man scrambled backward. The middle-aged man beside him stepped forward to intervene, but someone was already waiting for him. Five King Realm experts lunged, their own Element Force claws aimed directly at his head.

The middle-aged man roared, the energy within him thundering as he unleashed his most powerful strike. It was useless.

BANG! BANG!

The heads of both men burst almost simultaneously.

The ambushers all stood frozen in shock. What was going on? Weren’t these two supposed to be a peak King Realm powerhouse and another with terrifying, invincible strength in his realm? And they were just wiped out like this?

"Something’s not right! The power he just used... it felt very familiar!"

"I felt it too!"

"And here I thought I was the only one!"

The few King Realm experts who had attacked the middle-aged man all frowned. Immediately after, their expressions changed drastically. They converged on the two corpses, and one of them knelt to inspect them.

A moment later, he stood up, his face grim. "They’re our own people!"

They had gone to all this trouble only to kill their own men.

"This is bad! The other three gates!" someone realized, his face turning ashen. Four Seasons City had four great gates: the Chunhua Gate, the Xiayun Gate, the Qiushi Gate, and the Dongzang Gate. If the two who came through the Chunhua Gate were their own men in disguise, what about the other three?

"Quick, notify the others!"

Several King Realm Martial Artists soared into the sky, rocketing toward the other three gates as the rest scrambled into action. As they departed, a bird on the roof of a tall building flapped its wings and flew toward the depths of Four Seasons City.

「At the same time.」

At the Xiayun, Qiushi, and Dongzang gates, a pair of strangers stepped into the city. The man in charge of security at the Xiayun Gate was the most irascible. Shortly after the two entered, the city gate slammed shut.

"Fire!"

At his command, ten thousand arrows rained down from the city walls, turning the two men into human pincushions.

The man in charge roared with laughter. "Hahaha! So-called prodigies and peak powerhouses! All of them are trash!" His laughter startled birds from their foraging.

The situation at the Qiushi Gate was similar to that at the Chunhua Gate. Only after the two intruders were slain did anyone realize something was amiss.

Only at the Dongzang Gate was the leader a slow, cautious man, not in a rush to act.

On an identical, wide street, a man in a gray robe stood with his hands crossed and tucked into his sleeves. He was earnestly trying to persuade the two people who were surrounded.

"Although I haven’t heard the specifics and don’t know what happened, I know Qiu’er’s character. It was definitely his fault. You killed Xia Xia, and the last squad we sent out never returned, so they’re likely dead or captured. That’s enough, isn’t it?"

The two didn’t speak.

"If you don’t speak, I’ll take it as a yes. To be honest, I despise fighting and killing. So, I’ll make the decision and guarantee your safety. You can stay here in Four Seasons City. If you need anything, just ask."

The two still remained silent.

The gray-robed man grew even more pleased. "Then it’s settled! There’s still a month. We can work something out, and Ning Xuan, you could even participate in the Ten Clans Competition a month from now!"

"Ning Xuan? That name sounds so familiar..." the young man finally spoke, murmuring to himself.

The gray-robed man smiled. "Of course it sounds familiar. You are Ning Xuan."

"No, that’s not right! I’m not Ning Xuan! Who am I?!" The young man clutched his head and crouched down.

The gray-robed man was puzzled, but he mustered his courage and took a step forward. Several of his men shouted warnings. He finally took his hands from his sleeves, making a placating gesture in the air.

Seeing his outstretched hand, the arriving experts from the other gates all attacked him at once, shouting, "Stay your hand!"

PFFT!

Although the six attackers quickly realized their mistake and pulled back, the gray-robed man was still struck and sent flying backward. As he tumbled through the air, his face was pelted by fat drops of what felt like rain. He wiped his face with a hand, only to find the substance was warm and foul-smelling.

Bird droppings!

"Damn it!" The gray-robed man completely lost his composure. Who had I offended to deserve this?!

"What are you doing?! Are you all mad?!" he roared after he landed.

No one paid him any mind. The six newcomers immediately surrounded the two strangers.

「Meanwhile.」

Deep inside Four Seasons City, in the ancestral lands of the Kong Family, a middle-aged man stood at a doorway, gazing into the distance. A Bloodwing Bird was perched affectionately on his shoulder. Beside him stood a youth, looking lazy and listless, clearly unhappy about being dragged out.

"Fuyun, don’t worry. We’ve stationed a large number of experts at all four gates this time. If they dare to show up, it’ll be a one-way trip!" an elder behind them said with a laugh.

"Indeed! Just two people dare to boast about destroying our Kong Family. Today, we’ll show them what a true family foundation means!" another elder chimed in, his face full of pride.

CHIRP! CHIRP!

The sound of birds suddenly echoed. An elder flicked his sleeve.

BOOM!

The birds flying overhead exploded into a mist of blood.

The elder spoke coldly, "Anyone who dares run wild on Kong Family territory will die without a grave!"

A murderous glint flashed in the eyes of the man called Kong Fuyun. The Bloodwing Bird on his shoulder squawked in alarm and flew away.

The young man next to him coughed lightly.

Kong Fuyun’s clenched fist inside his sleeve relaxed. He started walking out. "I’m still a little worried. I’m going to take a look."

"I’ll come too!" the youth immediately followed.

Before the elders behind them could even open their mouths, the two had vanished.

An elder shook his head. "Really, what’s with the rush!" But he didn’t know these two weren’t members of the Kong Family at all.

They were Ning Xuan and Sun Zhu.

During their duel with Ningyang’s Dao Body, members of the Kong Family appeared in the distance. Sun Zhu gave chase, but before he could kill them, Ning Xuan arrived. Using a combination of Sun Zhu’s martial might and Ning Xuan’s Qiongqi Divine Vein, they orchestrated the appearance of decoys at each of the four city gates.

Meanwhile, Ning Xuan and Sun Zhu had already swaggered brazenly into the Kong Family’s main compound. Kong Fuyun held a high position in the family, which naturally gave him access to their Secret Vault.

Ning Xuan didn’t hold back, emptying it completely.
