Nangong Ao and Xie Qingtian fell to the ground, feeling a knot in their chest.
They exhaled a mouthful of turbid air and felt much better.
At the same time, the two of them felt weak.
It was as if all the energy in their bodies had been sucked dry.
Until this moment.
They realized the seriousness of the matter.
If Sword Saint and Zhang Daoxuan did not intervene, they would have died.
The two of them had probably already run out of oil and died on the spot.
"Haha …"
At this moment, Zhang Daoxuan's voice was heard, "Both of you are from the righteous path of the martial arts world. You should be on the same side …"
"Why fight to the death here and hurt the harmony?"
"Master, it's not that I want to kill or injure …"
Nangong Ao pointed at Xie Qingtian and said, "Xie Qingtian allowed his son to kill my mother and steal my Prime Clarity Limitless Art jade scroll …"
"This hatred is absolutely irreconcilable!"
"I, Nangong Ao, will have a clear discussion with him even if I have to give up my life!"
Nangong Ao looked at Xie Qingtian.
His eyes were still filled with anger.
"Nangong Ao!"
Xie Qingtian's expression changed. He said in a deep voice, "There's something fishy about this …"
"You're angry and can't tell right from wrong …"
"Don't throw dirty water on my son!"
Nangong Ao's expression changed when he heard Xie Qingtian's words, "What did you say?!"
His voice was raised by three octaves.
In an instant, the smell of gunpowder between the two ignited again.
"Blessed Immeasurable Heavenly Lord …"
Seeing this, Zhang Daoxuan called out softly, "I understand the cause of this matter …"
As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Nangong Ao and said, "Patriarch Nangong …"
"You were too impulsive in this matter …"
"I was impulsive?"
Nangong Ao's expression froze.
"That's right!"
Sword Saint nodded and said, "Brother Nangong …"
"If Xie Tinglan really wanted to kill your mother, he could've just found a day when you weren't around …"
"That way, not only could he escape, but he could also hide his identity …"
"If you were more nimble, it would take you a long time to investigate …"
"Why did you choose to make a move at a birthday banquet filled with distinguished guests and experts?"
！！！
As soon as these words came out, Nan Gong Ao's heart sank.
Ever since he saw the state of his mother's death, he could not help but be enraged. He was determined to capture Xie Tinglan.
He didn't think too much about it.
Now that he didn't have much inner energy left, his body was weak, and he was much calmer.
In addition to the Sword Saint's words.
For a moment, he also felt that something was wrong.
That's right …
If Xie Tinglan wanted to make a move, he could've done it when there was no one in the house.
Why make a move on the day of the birthday banquet?
Wasn't that just courting death?
"Not bad …"
Seeing Nangong Ao's silence, Zhang Daoxuan nodded. "Even if Xie Tinglan is extremely arrogant and insists on harming your mother …"
"Why didn't he leave immediately after he succeeded?"
"Instead, you were found standing outside of your master's room with your clothes stained with blood?"
Hearing this, Nan Gong Ao fell silent.
It was fine if he did not listen to Xie Qingtian's words.
However, Zhang Daoxuan was a Wudang Elder and was highly respected.
In addition, the Sword Saint was also a senior in the martial arts world.
After hearing what the two said, he also felt that there was something fishy about this matter.
He had no enmity with the Xie family in the past.
They did not even have much interaction.
Why would Xie Tinglan want to harm his mother?
Not only that.
After the battle just now, he also felt the power of the Xie family's Taixuan Sword Technique and their family's inner energy.
Not only was the Xie family's martial arts not inferior to his family's martial arts, but they were also stronger.
In fact, they were slightly stronger.
Thinking of this, Nan Gong Ao suddenly quivered.
At this moment, he did not have any evidence.
However, there was a voice in his heart telling him …
He was being played like a monkey!
At this moment, Wang Ye, who was in the inn, saw everything clearly.
A playful smile appeared on his face.
The Sword Saint and Zhang Daoxuan, these two old things, were really f * cking dogs.
They were in the realm of immortals, but they hid their strength.
They obviously went to the brothel every day until they lost contact with them, but they knew all these things clearly.
These two were f * cking experts at pretending to be pigs to eat tigers.
"Father, please have mercy!"
Just as Wang Ye was thinking to himself, a shout was heard.
Then, a young man in a brocade robe flew past in the rain and landed beside Nangong Ao.
"Tuo 'er!"
Nan Gong Ao's expression changed when he saw the young man. He said, "Why are you here?!"
The young man who flew over was not an outsider.
It was Nan Gong Ao's eldest son, Nan Gong Tuo.
"Father, I just received a message from Third Brother …"
At this moment, Nan Gong Tuo handed a bamboo tube to Nan Gong Ao and said, "He found the bodies of three maidservants in the backyard …"
"Their deaths were similar to Grandmother's …"
"Grandmother's death might not be Xie Tinglan's doing. Father, you still need to find out the reason. Don't fall into the evil's trap!"
！！！
Nan Gong Ao was shocked when he heard his son's words.
He took the bamboo tube and took out the letter. His face was immediately filled with shock.
At the same time, he clenched his fists and a trace of anger appeared on his face.
"He killed my mother and stole my jade book …"
At this moment, Nan Gong Ao said, "He even framed others and almost made both of us suffer great losses …"
"I don't care who the mastermind is …"
"I'll tear him into pieces!"
Nan Gong Ao's face was filled with anger as he spoke.
At the same time, he got up and knelt on one knee in front of Xie Qingtian. He said, "I was too angry and fell into the evil's trap …"
"I, Nan Gong Ao, will never shirk my responsibility!"
"Brother Xie, I'll take it whether you hit me or scold me. I won't frown at all!"
"Forget it!"
Xie Qingtian waved his hand when he saw Nan Gong Ao's expression. He said, "It's normal to be angry when your loved ones are harmed …"
"Since we've found out that it's a misunderstanding …"
"Why don't we turn hostility into friendship and work together to suppress the mastermind behind this?!"
Nan Gong Ao looked at Xie Qingtian when he heard that.
Then, he lowered his head and said, "Thank you, brother!"
"There's no need for that!"
As he spoke, Xie Qingtian helped Nangong Ao up. "There must be a reason why my son was framed this time …"
"If that's the case, why don't we go to the inn first …"
"We'll ask my son the reason when he shows up!"
"Who's the mastermind behind this?!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone glanced at each other before they walked towards the Immortal Indulgence Inn.
Seeing this scene, Wang Ye hurriedly stood up to welcome them, "Aiyo, everyone, please come in …"
"Coincidentally, this inn has all kinds of drinks …"
"You can chat while drinking …"
At this point, Wang Ye's face was full of smiles.
"No …"
Constable Zhao was confused when he saw the smile on Wang Ye's face. "The tables and chairs in this inn were destroyed by these people …"
"Why is Manager Wang so happy?"
"Old Zhao, you don't understand …"
Li Qinglian said when she heard Constable Zhao's words. "It's because they were the ones who destroyed the tables and chairs …"
"That's why the old miser is so happy …"
