Time seemed to freeze at this moment.
Boom! The ownerless martial energy in the gasification pool seemed to sense the intrusion of the younger generation of the Nalan family at this moment and surged into the sky in an instant. At this moment, everyone couldn't help but squint their eyes, only to see a towering white flame erupting into the sky like a volcanic eruption...
If there were heavens in this Ghost Seclusion Domain...
A pressure that seemed to have existed since ancient times suddenly spread out, causing the figures of the martial emperor-level experts floating in mid-air to slightly stagnate. If this pressure hadn't come and gone so quickly, everyone with martial emperor-level strength present would have suffered greatly.
Hehehe... A strange mixture of sinister laughter, cold laughter, malicious laughter, fawning laughter, and wild laughter... all sorts of weird emotional colors blended together, unable to describe Nalan He's laughter at this moment. However, this laughter made both sides, allies and enemies, feel uneasy.
After a moment, everyone clearly felt that Nalan He's momentum was continuously rising... Fighter, Warrior, King... and then, Venerable...
This scene, which was almost impossible to believe, appeared in front of everyone's eyes. Even figures like the Yin Emperor and Feng Emperor had their faces greatly changed because their strength was the pinnacle present, so they could clearly feel Nalan He's momentum still rising... as if it were endless!
His mad laughter started extremely low, extremely low, extremely low... But as his power surged, his voice gradually grew louder. In the end, his laughter filled the entire Ghost Seclusion Domain with his arrogant laughter!
Li Yi's mouth twitched incessantly. He glanced at Hai Xin with a sneer, believing that at this moment, Hai Xin must be regretting bitterly!
Then, everything quieted down... The sudden silence was extremely abrupt. Nalan He's arrogant laughter suddenly stopped, and the towering white flames rushing into the sky disappeared. His momentum, which had been soaring, also plummeted rapidly. In just the blink of an eye, his aura dropped from Venerable to King, and then continued to fall!
This change was so fast that no one could react. Everyone was left speechless for a moment. But in an instant, Nalan He had returned to his original state, falling to the level of a Warrior. This meant that at this moment, Nalan He had failed to inherit the family legacy...
"How is this possible? How is this possible!?" The first one to shout out was not Nalan He, but Nalan Tianzhe!
Nalan Qing, who had been silent all along, suddenly sneered and said, "Nalan Tianzhe... can't you even figure this out? Although I am your younger brother... he is definitely not your son! Because he does not have the bloodline of the Nalan family, naturally he cannot inherit the Nalan family legacy!"
There was a hint of self-mockery in Nalan Qing's words, but he also stated the most certain reason. When this statement fell into Nalan Tianzhe's ears, it was the most vicious irony.
Puff! He suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood. His figure, which had been floating in mid-air, swayed slightly and fell onto the floating island. Then, he smiled bitterly and closed his eyes without saying a word.
His eldest son was not of his blood, and his most beloved second son was also not of his blood... Even though Nalan Tianzhe had a strong will, at this moment, he could hardly bear it!
Bang! The puppet that had been attached to Nalan Qing's body was slapped away by Nalan Qing. It was because even Luo Ben now understood that if Nalan Qing was gone, they would all be left here to die together. With the puppet being slapped away, the situation, which had already been decided, once again tilted towards Nalan Qing and Li Yi's side.
Li Yi's figure descended gracefully, and together with Gong Wushuang, they landed in front and behind Nalan Qing, assuming defensive positions. At this moment, Hai Xin and Luo Ben were slightly stunned. Obviously, they couldn't even imagine that things would turn into this.
Seeing that the situation was completely under control, Nalan Qing smiled lightly and took a few steps forward, staring at the dispirited Nalan Tianzhe, and said lightly, "Nalan Tianzhe, oh Nalan Tianzhe, are you too clever to be mistaken... Our Nalan family's physique has always been suitable for practicing dark attribute techniques, but Nalan He can practice both fire and wind attributes... Don't you find that strange?"
Nalan Tianzhe looked up at Nalan Qing weakly, his eyes devoid of color, only looking up at the sky, which had once again turned blood red...
If that could be called the sky...
Nalan Qing sneered coldly, about to continue speaking, but suddenly, everyone present felt it and turned their heads abruptly, looking towards the direction of the gasification pool...
The towering white flame, at some unknown time, began to boil silently again. But this time, the aura emanating from the flame was extremely stable... Martial Emperor...
Nalan Tianzhe's eyes lit up, and the color of despair faded a bit... Then, everyone's expression changed! In the midst of the towering white flames, a figure fell into everyone's sight. Although it was still unclear, the mocking voice had slowly come out...
"Nalan Qing... You thought you had calculated everything, but have you ever thought that I deliberately leaked my biggest secret to you?" The voice contained layers of pressure, causing everyone's hearts to settle down at this moment. Although it was only like this, the killing intent contained in the voice made even the martial emperor-level experts present feel a chill running down their spines...
Is this the heritage of the Nalan family... "Hehe... But, have you, such an intelligent individual, ever considered what consequences it might bring to your plans if the secrets you've worked so hard to uncover turn out to be false?" "Perhaps you're too self-assured to think that you could be deceived by a lie? Yes... To set up this scenario, I was willing to sacrifice close relatives, sacrifice the best assistants, sacrifice the woman I love... But, all of this is for the expression on your face today, so, could you perhaps show a bit more panic?" With a low chuckle, Nalan He parted the dense white flames. Stepping out from within, he still bore a clear countenance, with a faint expression on his face, but the martial emperor's aura emanating from him couldn't be faked... In other words, at this moment, Nalan He had already accepted the inheritance of the Nalan family, and the door to chaos in heaven and earth was about to open... "Father... Please forgive your child's deception..." "Nalan Qing, are you going to do it yourself? Or shall I kill you!?" A bizarre expression simultaneously appeared on everyone's faces, as if in an instant, the whole situation had flipped again. Li Yi's mind was already extremely frustrated. Damn it, the scoundrels of the Nalan family, each and every one of them was a born schemer, setting up one trap after another, making the situation change so quickly that it was simply impossible to keep up... Just hoping that Nalan Qing at this moment also had the ability to turn the tables... Rubbing his slightly stiff face, Li Yi didn't know what to feel... As expected, he saw Nalan Qing smile faintly. He lightly said, "Nalan He... You're not bad, indeed not bad. You've even forced me to use the means I least wanted to resort to... I admit, I underestimated you and overestimated my own strength... But, do you think that by doing this, you've won?" Then, he looked up at the sky, and after a moment, he chuckled coldly and said, "Elder! Are you waiting for me to die before you show up!?" Laughter echoed throughout the entire Ghost Seclusion Summit, but after a moment, a long laugh suppressed all the gloomy sneers! "Who is it!?" Li Yi's eyebrows slightly raised, and after a moment, he suddenly remembered someone absolutely impossible but the only possible person... "Elder... Nalan Fei..." Li Yi's gaze swept around for a moment, almost like everyone else, focusing on the position above the suspended island in the sky... The figure above seemed to have been there all along, and the martial energy wings behind him once again demonstrated his strength... Emperor!? Another martial emperor!?! Li Yi didn't know what to think anymore. These martial emperors, rarely seen for years, were now appearing in this small Ghost Seclusion Summit. If you counted him as half... Damn it, even if someone said the Seven Emperors of the Heavenly Phoenix were gathered, Li Yi would be the first to believe it! The stark contrast in the situation was already making people frustrated to the point of bleeding. This scene made everyone's faces change again. However, the series of changes had already made people resistant, and the change in expressions at this moment was not as drastic as before. Li Yi didn't know whether to laugh or curse. He just gave a slight glance at Hai Xin and Robben, and it was obvious... No one's complexion looked good at the moment... Although on Nalan He's side, there were Hai Xin, Robben, Nalan Tianzhe, four martial emperor powerhouses... While on Nalan Qing's side at the moment, there were Nalan Fei, Gong Wushuang, and Li Yi... Although the number was one less, on Nalan Qing's side, there were still two martial kings, barely making the situation a stalemate. What's more critical, however, was that the constant tricks of these two brothers had made it impossible for anyone to believe that they were in an absolute advantage! Even though Nalan He had already accepted the inheritance of the Nalan family at this moment, it wasn't enough! These thoughts flashed through Li Yi's mind. He had already understood many things. At this moment, he exchanged a glance with Gong Wushuang, and their figures stepped back half a step, adopting an indifferent posture, just closing their eyes and adjusting their breath... Nalan Qing just looked at him with a smile that wasn't a smile, and his eyes slowly fell on Nalan He, whose face had turned from arrogant to cold again. The two "brothers" faced each other. As the absolute protagonists of today's events, when their gazes collided, it seemed as if infinite flames were erupting. After a while, Nalan Qing finally smiled faintly and said, "Nalan He, although your body is filled with Yin energy and you have successfully advanced to the level of a martial emperor... But you haven't yet refined the Yin energy. If you don't hurry to seclude yourself for cultivation, I'm afraid that it won't be long before all your meridians will be broken and you'll die... Everyone is extremely clear about the family heritage. Your current condition can only last for a maximum of one quarter of an hour, right? What do you think you can do in this quarter of an hour?" Nalan He smiled coldly and said, "Since you're aware that I have a quarter of an hour, then you should understand how simple the task I want to accomplish is... just to kill you..." "Hahaha..." Nalan Qing laughed wildly, tilting his head back. "If you want to kill me, why not do it now..." Nalan He frowned slightly. Although he was self-assured, he also understood that with Nalan Qing's current strength, even if they were destined to lose, it wouldn't be a matter of a quarter of an hour... But a quarter of an hour was enough to turn him into a useless person... After hesitating for a moment, Nalan He finally smiled lightly and said, "Nalan Qing, how about we make a deal..." "Deal?" "As long as you give up your martial energy, I'll let you go... I swear in the name of the ancestors of the Nalan family that I will absolutely not pursue you. How about it?" Nalan He smiled faintly, but he had already proposed the most impossible possibility... Nalan Qing nodded slightly and said, "If there's something I don't know, what about the condition you promised me? After all, saving one's life is the most important... But, you forgot, the one who can accept the family inheritance is not just you... And no one has said that I can't accept the inheritance immediately. So... it seems that you and I are destined to part ways today!" With Nalan Qing's last voice falling, the black martial energy on his body suddenly surged. Li Yi's heart trembled slightly, and where his gaze fell, he saw another pair of martial energy wings trembling constantly... Damn it! Another martial emperor!!!
