"Swoosh!"
The bronze coffin, dragging the dragon corpse, stopped in front of Nangong Qi.
"It really is coming after !" Nangong Qi was so agitated he could hardly speak, "You... how did you... I... I..."
Nangong Qi's entourage was also dumbfounded.
Niu Xiangnan and the others were also full of surprise. What's going on? Why is the dragon corpse fixated on Nangong Qi? Where does the problem lie? Could the dragon corpse really have beco sentient? Even if it did... it shouldn't have chosen Nangong Qi, right?
"This is quite rare indeed." Standing in the distance, Li He, King of the Northern Town, chuckled lightly, "To encounter such a rare event! Hey, I say, since the dragon corpse has chosen Nangong Qi, then let's not contend for it anymore. Let Nangong Qi take the dragon corpse away." His words were purely ant to stir up trouble, to intensify the conflict— the more chaotic the situation, the better for him.
Nangong Qi shot a grateful look at Li He, King of the Northern Town, "The King of the Northern Town is right! Since the dragon corpse has chosen , I should be the one to take it away! This is in accordance with the will of heaven! To defy the will of heaven is to suffer heavenly punishnt!"
"Heavenly punishnt my ass!" Jin Xiong, the Great Elder of the Jin Family, cursed, "Nangong Qi! Stop scaremongering here! To vie for the dragon corpse is to defy the will of heaven and to suffer heavenly punishnt, what absolute nonsense!"
"Nangong Qi." Niu Xiangnan said with a dark tone, "I've been very tolerant of you. Don't you provoke , or else... I really won't be polite anymore."
"Put down the dragon corpse and leave quickly, and you can keep your life." The others yelled.
Nangong Qi's face turned green with anger; he had never been humiliated like this before in his life.
"This is the way big sects and big families do things." Li He, King of the Northern Town, said sarcastically, "They will do anything to achieve their goals! One mont they are allies, the next they turn their faces and do not recognize people. Really... Ah, I don't even know what to say."
"King of the Northern Town! Stop with your sarcastic remarks!" Niu Xiangnan turned his head and glared fiercely at Li He, "If you really provoke us, we will deal with you too."
"Fine! I won't say anymore." Li He, King of the Northern Town, shrugged his shoulders, looking indifferent.
Niu Xiangnan turned back to Nangong Qi, "I'll count to three, if you don't leave by then, don't bla for turning my face and not recognizing you later."
Nangong Qi's face was stern, and he did not speak.
"One, two..." Niu Xiangnan started counting. With each count, his aura of killing intent thickened. At this mont, he truly harbored the intention to kill. To obtain the dragon corpse, he was ready to commit a massacre today.
"I've decided!" Nangong Qi slowly raised his head, his tone resolute, "I... give up..."
"You're sensible enough." Niu Xiangnan sneered, "Why are you still dawdling? Why not hurry and leave!"
"Get going." The others shouted, "Hurry up and leave! Don't stand there getting in the way!" They all belonged to prominent backgrounds, so they spoke without reservation.
Nangong Qi gritted his teeth and nodded, "I won't let this matter rest just like this today! You all wait, I will make you regret it!" Having said that, Nangong Qi resolutely turned around and led his entourage away. Before leaving, he took one last look at the dragon corpse, his eyes filled with regret and reluctance.
"Buzz!!!"
The bronze coffin suddenly shook and then chased after Nangong Qi, still dragging the dragon corpse.
"Co on!" Niu Xiangnan cursed, "Isn't this over yet! Fellas, hurry up and surround it, block the bronze coffin and the dragon corpse!" As he spoke, Niu Xiangnan leaped into action.
The others quickly followed.
…
In the distance.
Nangong Qi stood on the deck of the flying ship, staring ahead, his face dark and fearso.
"Vice Palace Master, shall we leave now?" A subordinate asked cautiously.
"Wait a little longer." Nangong Qi shook his head, his voice hoarse, "I just can't bear to leave like this..."
"But..."
"What? Do my words not matter anymore?"
"Yes, yes, everything is as the Vice Palace Master arranges." Seeing Nangong Qi flare up, the subordinate imdiately clamd up, daring not to say another word.
"Sigh..." Nangong Qi let out a stifled breath and secretly vowed in his heart, "I must retrieve the Dragon Corpse! I must!!!"
"Boom!!!"
The Bronze Coffin dragged the Dragon Corpse, breaking through the encirclent led by Niu Xiangnan and others, then rushed in the direction where Nangong Qi was.
"Huh?" Nangong Qi's eyes widened in shock, his mouth agape, as he watched the Bronze Coffin dragging the Dragon Corpse fly toward him.
"Rumble!!!"
The Bronze Coffin carrying the Dragon Corpse descended from the sky, landed on the flying ship with a colossal impact that made the ship violently shake for a few monts, nearly capsizing.
"Nangong Qi! You bastard! Why haven't you left yet!" Niu Xiangnan's cursing ca from afar, "Do you really not want to live!"
A trace of madness flashed in Nangong Qi's eyes, Damn it all! Going all in! He waved his arm with determination, "Start the ship! Hurry, start the ship! Increase the speed to the fastest!"
"Vice Palace Master, please calm down..." one of his subordinates said in an urgent voice.
"Bang!" Nangong Qi kicked the subordinate away, his eyes red with rage, and yelled at the top of his lungs, "Start the ship! Start it now!!!!!"
"Rumble rumble..."
Finally, the flying ship started, ascended into the high sky, and rapidly sped away.
"Bastard!"
"Son of a bitch!!"
"Damn it!!!"
"Nangong Qi! You're dead at!!!"
"Chase! Chase him now! We must not let Nangong Qi escape!!
"Snatch back the Dragon Corpse!!!"
...
Niu Xiangnan and others gave chase in their flying ship.
Even Li He, the King Zi Bei, followed. He hadn't given up on the Dragon Corpse; should the chance arise, he would unhesitatingly snatch it away.
The Low-Rank Cultivators surrounding the area for thrills also pursued.
The seascape that had been bustling just a mont ago quickly turned eerily silent.
...
A flying ship bearing the flag of Piaomiao Palace moved swiftly.
Nangong Qi stood on the deck, his eyes lit with excitent looking at the Dragon Corpse, "I've finally snatched you back! No matter the cost, I will take you ho!" With that, Nangong Qi crushed a Yellow Talisman. This Yellow Talisman was a "Distress Talisman" refined by Piaomiao Palace through special thods. Once the Talisman Paper was crumbled, Piaomiao Palace, even thousands of miles away, would receive a signal and send reinforcents.
"I've called for help from the Palace Master! Reinforcents will be here soon!" Nangong Qi announced loudly, "Everyone hold steady! Don't panic! Delay as much as possible! Once our help arrives, we'll be safe!" He added, "For snatching the Dragon Corpse and accomplishing a great feat, when we return to Piaomiao Palace, the Palace Master will surely reward you generously!"
After hearing Nangong Qi's words, the disciples of Piaomiao Palace were sowhat relieved.
"Co on, let us face the battle head-on!"
"The Dragon Corpse belongs to Piaomiao Palace! No one shall snatch it away!"
"Fight on!!!"
Nangong Qi roared with all his strength, partly to boost morale and partly to vent the anger in his heart.
Several hundred zhang away, dozens of flying ships were in hot pursuit. Niu Xiangnan and others stood on their ships, shouting curses, threats, and intimidations. At first, Nangong Qi would retort a few tis, but eventually, he played the deaf-mute, ignoring Niu Xiangnan and the rest completely.
