Chapter 203-204: The Nangong family’s Journey of Destruction
Even though Dongfang Muqing’s body felt numb and tingly, she insisted on going with him to the Nangong family.
Seeing her persistence, Luo Sheng nodded and agreed.
“Then let’s go together, to truly set you free,” he promised Dongfang Muqing.
Afterwards, the two took advantage of the night to leave the mansion.
The night in Lingshuang City wasn’t as bustling as people imagined, but rather cold and quiet, with only a few night watchn walking along the streets.
They struck their grating copper gongs, shouting loudly: “The air is dry, be careful with fire!”
Even though this world was one of immortal cultivation, possessing myriad spells and miraculous spiritual power, ordinary people still couldn’t afford to use spiritual power to illuminate the streets.
Most of those swaggering about the streets were from Lingshuang City’s gang forces or rogue cultivators.
Previously, Luo Sheng’s elimination of the Black Tiger Gang had created a power vacuum in Lingshuang City.
As they walked through Lingshuang City, they saw several factions fighting over territory, brawling and battling. These people were mostly martial artists, with very few cultivators seen.
Unless the survival of their gang was threatened, cultivators rarely intervened. After all, they cared about their reputation and wanted to preserve their strength.
Luo Sheng and Dongfang Muqing quietly approached the vicinity of the Nangong family compound.
The entire Nangong family mansion compound occupied nearly 80,000 square ters, making it one of the largest and most luxurious mansions in Lingshuang City.
Even the City Lord’s mansion was not half its size.
As soon as Luo Sheng and Dongfang Muqing drew near, they heard several Nangong family disciples on night watch chatting quietly on the other side of the high walls.
“Let’s take turns keeping watch. I’m too sleepy, so I’ll nap for a bit first. Wake
up at midnight. I don’t know what the elders are thinking, making so many people keep watch in the middle of the night,” one disciple complained while yawning.
His voice was drowsy, clearly not in the mood for night watch duty.
Another disciple whispered, “Are you crazy? How dare you secretly sleep? What if soone attacks? And if you get caught, you’ll be punished!”
“If you don’t tell and I don’t tell, no one will know. Besides, our Nangong family is as solid as a fortress. The entire Black Tiger Gang was wiped out, and the Grand Elder has set up a massive defensive formation. Not even ghosts can fly in, let alone flies,” the yawning disciple explained with sleepy eyes.
Another person was shocked, “The Grand Elder is so generous? That must have cost a fortune, right?”
“Of course. He used a divine artifact. Even if an elder attacked with full force, they might not be able to damage it at all. The people at the City Lord’s mansion are so envious of us. They don’t have a defensive formation.”
This whispered conversation continued.
There was a sense of self-boasting in their tone.
Dongfang Muqing pointed at a wall where ripples appeared like solidified water, shimring with flowing light.
She whispered in Luo Sheng’s ear: “This should be the defensive formation they ntioned. Its protective power is not low. I would need to use all my strength to destroy it.”
“That’s simple. If I’m not mistaken, this formation is also a type of immortal technique,” Luo Sheng said.
Hearing his words, Dongfang Muqing nodded.
Luo Sheng first summoned Acoley.
Then he activated a card he had acquired: 【Immortal Technique Invalid】.
This card could nullify immortal techniques of silver 5-star rank and below. Its only drawback was that it could only be used once a day, and each use could only nullify one type of immortal technique.
However, using it here now was perfect.
Luo Sheng instantly activated 【Immortal Technique Invalid】.
The next mont, the defensive formation that looked like a water mbrane burst like a popped bubble. The hemispherical formation at the top gradually dissipated.
The entire Nangong family compound beca like a porcupine without quills, ready to be slaughtered.
Luo Sheng had Dongfang Muqing play “Ambush from Ten Sides” to provide a damage boost to Acoley, and instructed Acoley to use her special magic:
Bomb teor.
An improved version of the Bouncing Bomb, where a large number of bombs fall like teors, crashing to the ground and exploding.
Acoley raised her staff and began casting over a large area. Bouncing Bombs wreathed in flas descended like brilliant teors from the sky.
And they were not few in number – at least a dozen bombs streaked across the night sky.
In an instant, nurous fiery teors appeared in the sky over Lingshuang City, all flying towards the Nangong family mansion.
“What the hell is this?!”
Suddenly, a Nangong family disciple who noticed this strange phenonon shouted loudly.
Many who were resting were awakened by his voice, but angrily scolded: “What’s all the shouting about? Don’t you need to sleep in the middle of the night?”
So with more volatile tempers cursed out loud, showing severe signs of being grumpy when woken up. If their temper was any worse, they might have drawn swords to kill.
The disciple who had cried out in alarm pointed at the night sky.
“Look, those are teors!”
“No, sothing’s wrong. They seem to be coming towards us!”
Many people finally realized what was happening and looked up at the sky. The red teors were brighter than the moon, illuminating the entire city’s sky like flares.
“Who on earth cast this immortal technique?”
“Are we in danger?”
“What are you panicking for?! Our family has a protective formation. These teors can be blocked. Go wake up the others, we’re under attack!”
An older senior brother ordered.
The other Nangong family disciples began to move efficiently.
Unfortunately, the protective formation they were so confident in gave them a harsh lesson the next mont.
The burning Bouncing Bombs descended from the sky, and in less than 10 seconds, they landed on the massive Nangong family mansion, instantly blooming into enormous flas.
A small mushroom cloud appeared, and the extrely high temperature of the bombs imdiately engulfed the surrounding buildings in crimson flas.
Like wildfire igniting a dry haystack, a spark can start a prairie fire. The flas instantly spread to other areas.
Suddenly, large areas of the Nangong family compound were engulfed in flas.
The disciples at the center of the bomb blasts, no matter how high their cultivation, were blown to bits, leaving not even ashes behind. Even if they used various magical tools, it was difficult to resist.
After all, Acoley was a silver 4-star magician, and her magic skills were incredibly powerful. With Dongfang Muqing’s damage boost, she could effectively exert the power of a silver 5-star.
Therefore, the destructive power was especially trendous.
“Fire! Quick, put out the fire!”
“We’re under attack!”
“Damn it, what happened to our family’s great defensive formation? How did it end up like this?”
So scread, so shouted, and chaotic sounds echoed throughout the entire Nangong family compound.
This was the first ti they had encountered their family being attacked, completely catching everyone off guard.
Especially since they had laid down a defensive formation.
Now this defensive formation was utterly useless, having no effect at all. Moreover, the disciples on night watch had beco even more lax because of this formation.
At this mont, the teor shower had not ended.
One by one, they continued to fall to the ground.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Massive explosions rang out one after another, and the entire Nangong family compound was engulfed in flas.
Fireballs were ignited one after another, not only illuminating the sky over the entire city but also causing the whole city to feel the violent tremors produced by the explosions.
Many who were sound asleep were awakened by this sudden shaking.
At first, they thought it was an earthquake, but when they went out to look, they found the dark night as bright as day.
Especially in the distance, the most eye-catching Nangong family compound was directly engulfed in towering flas. They had seen such a scene before when the Black Tiger Gang was destroyed.
“What on earth is happening?”
So civilians stood rooted to the spot looking at this scene, asking around for information.
Others shook their heads, they had never seen an immortal cultivator family suffer an attack like this.
Everyone fixed their eyes on this scene.
Until soone said, “It seems to be that woman the Nangong family has been hunting. She sent people to take revenge!”
“That zither player?!”
“Impossible, right? They were being hunted just three months ago. How could she co back for revenge so quickly?”
Others were stunned.
Because they all knew that if it weren’t for the Nangong family’s pursuit, Dongfang Muqing wouldn’t have left Lingshuang City.
And they wouldn’t have lost the chance to hear beautiful music.
But everyone knew that the Nangong family was the largest family force in Lingshuang City. Even the City Lord had to be polite when eting them, for fear of angering them.
Many civilians even said, “The true City Lord of Lingshuang City is the Nangong family.”
Who would have thought such a situation would occur now?
