Nine Nether Dragon Emperor-Chapter 255 Wow, He Can Restart the Family Tree Now!
What astonished her even more was that upon seeing her, the Nanling Bully felt not the slightest bit of shame! After calmly rising to his feet, he even nodded to Ning Xuan in greeting.
Damn! Could it be that Ning Xuan has cultivated some kind of Evil Cultivation Technique and has taken control of the Nanling Bully?! Otherwise, what I just saw should have been absolutely impossible!
After all, setting everything else aside, the disparity in their Cultivation was like that between a grain of rice and the bright moon!
"You Ruo, your timing is perfect! Look, the Heavenly Ladder has appeared! It was entirely the young master’s doing. I only helped out a bit at the beginning..."
The Nanling Bully, ignoring whatever You Ruo was thinking, immediately began to show off—not for himself, but for Ning Xuan. From his tone and expression, You Ruo could sense immense pride!
Her entire worldview was shattering! Am I seeing things? A dignified Venerable boasting about a Heavenly Realm youth with such spontaneous pride! What has happened to this world?!
She was so shocked that she couldn’t react at first. When she finally came to her senses, she completely lost her composure.
"What?! Ning Xuan opened the Heavenly Ladder by himself?! Damn it all! Are you sure you’re not messing with me?!"
For the first time, she—who usually only cursed internally—shouted the words aloud.
The Nanling Bully was not pleased. His expression immediately darkened. "What, do you think I have nothing better to do than to joke around with you?!"
His face was frigid, his eyes filled with killing intent. In that moment, the full might of a Venerable was unleashed.
You Ruo snorted, her face paling. She hastily retreated and cupped her fists. "I’ll go notify them right away."
This time, the Nanling Bully was truly enraged, all because she had dared to question Ning Xuan!
You Ruo suppressed the shock in her heart and retreated as quickly as possible. Once she was clear of the area, she leaned against a rock wall, panting heavily. "HUFF... HUFF... How on earth did Ning Xuan do it? If outsiders learned of such a miracle, it would turn the world upside down!"
"Ning Yang’s cross-Realm message was terrifying enough, but it pales in comparison to what Ning Xuan just did! Those two are destined for an earth-shattering, cataclysmic duel! I can’t miss it! I also have to use this chance to get back to Yao Guang!"
As You Ruo murmured to herself, several plans had already formed in her mind. It took her a long while to calm her Mental State before she finally headed out.
「Outside the Heavenly Palace’s dueling platform, a commotion was brewing.」
"They’ve been in there for so long, they must be done for!"
"I heard it takes two Venerables working together to open the Heavenly Ladder. Ning Xuan slapped one to death, so there’s no way it can be opened!"
"Do you think the Venerables are planning to use Ning Xuan in a Blood Sacrifice? Why else would they have summoned him?!"
Someone had a sudden, wild thought, and surprisingly, people immediately believed it.
"Exactly! That has to be it! Otherwise, how would Ning Xuan even be qualified?"
"Haha, imagine how happy Ning Xuan looked going in. He must be feeling just as much regret and despair now that he’s being used for a Blood Sacrifice! Too bad we can’t watch!"
Many people began to revel in his misfortune.
Just then, a voice called out, "Everyone, the Heavenly Ladder is open. Where are the four prodigies who won their matches?"
Jiang Boya and the other three immediately stood up together.
"Come with me," You Ruo said, turning to leave. The four hurried to follow, and after a moment of hesitation, they all asked the exact same question in unison: "What about Ning Xuan?"
You Ruo answered without breaking stride, "You’ll see him soon enough."
"Was he used for the Blood Sacrifice?! If so, I forfeit!" Chu Tian declared resolutely after a moment of hesitation.
Several members of the Chu Family frantically sent voice transmissions to him. "Tian’er, have you lost your mind!" "What nonsense are you spouting!" "Unfilial son, do you no longer wish to live? Apologize at once!"
Meanwhile, the elders of the other three great families were all sending their own warnings via voice transmission. "Don’t you dare copy Chu Tian!" "Don’t do anything reckless!" "Remember what happened to your brother!"
Just as they were about to speak, their hesitation holding them back, You Ruo stopped up ahead. She turned around and asked in surprise, "Who told you Ning Xuan was used for a Blood Sacrifice? He’s alive and well! In fact, he’s living more comfortably than any of us right now!"
Being worshipped like a god by a Venerable, how could he not be thriving?
"Ah? Really?" Chu Tian’s face broke into a grin. "I knew it! With his cunning, if there was a Blood Sacrifice, he’d be the one sacrificing a Venerable, not the other way around."
THUD!
Someone from the Chu Family was so terrified their legs gave out, and they collapsed to their knees.
Sacrificing a Venerable... He actually dared to say that! We’re finished!
"Chu Tian! Are you insane?!"
"Fairy, I forgot to mention something—Chu Tian has already been expelled from our family!" the Chu Family Patriarch declared decisively. To preserve the Chu Family, he had no choice but to sacrifice Chu Tian!
"Are you sure?" You Ruo asked, her expression strange.
The Chu Family Patriarch nodded vigorously. "Absolutely! I’ve already removed his name from the family registry!"
"Wow, so now he can start a new family registry and become the Chu Family Patriarch, right?" a child’s voice called out from the mobile villa. It was the same child who had recently heard the plump Qian Duoduo say something similar.
"Starting a new family registry sounds fun. Are you interested?" You Ruo asked Chu Tian teasingly as a thick book materialized in her hand.
Chu Tian took it and flipped it open, finding only blank pages. "I’m in!"
If Ning Xuan could shake the Heavenly Palace all by himself, what’s wrong with me starting a new family line?! It’s perfectly reasonable!
The members of the Chu Family turned green with fury. If not for the inappropriate setting, they would have surely attacked.
Wait! Maybe we were wrong! What You Ruo said could be true! Otherwise, why would she be so polite to... to Tian’er?
Immediately, more than one person began sending voice transmissions to the Patriarch to share their thoughts.
But the Chu Family Patriarch hesitated. He didn’t dare to gamble!
In the end, he could only watch helplessly as Chu Tian disappeared from view.
PHEW...
In the camps of the other three great families, some let out long sighs of relief, slumping down without any care for their image.
They had been terrified that their own prodigies would pull the same stunt. That would have been the death of them!
"The Chu Family is going to regret this so badly their guts turn green!" Jiang Bochang murmured from within the Jiang Family’s ranks.
Someone beside him immediately asked, "Is Ning Xuan really alive and well?"
"Of course! Otherwise, all hell would’ve broken loose up there," Jiang Bochang said with conviction, glancing at the mobile villa.
The person next to him had a moment of realization. At the same time, it dawned on some members of the Chu Family as well, and they slapped their thighs in frustration.
Damn it! That Ning Xuan fellow must be cursed! It seems like whenever a great family gets involved with him, nothing good ever comes of it!
"Uncle, you’d better hope Tian’er fails the final assessment. Otherwise, you’ll live to regret this!" This was a voice transmission from Chu Tian’s father to the Patriarch.
The Chu Family Patriarch exploded with rage. "Damn it! Are you trying to rebel, you little brat?! Why didn’t you say a word earlier?!"
I’m already full of regret, and you’re rubbing salt in the wound? Are you asking for a tongue-lashing?!
And at that moment, as You Ruo led the group to where Ning Xuan and the Nanling Bully stood, one of the people behind her collapsed on the spot.
