Sect: Starting with Comprehending Thunder Skill

Chapter 1083 - 487: Nangong Family (Part 3)

"The appearance of these ’Myriad Poison Sect’ cultivators might be related to the recent situation.""Immediately arrange for the clan’s informants to investigate the recent movements of the ’Myriad Poison Sect’ and see if there is any relevant news about them."

"Additionally, closely monitor their every move while they reside on our territory. You may arrange for a few clever servants to keep an eye on their words and actions under the pretense of serving tea and cleaning."

"Yes, Uncle! I will handle this right away. However, if they realize they are being watched, won’t it cause unnecessary trouble?"

Nangong Yuan promptly responded.

"Hmph, if they have nothing to hide, why would they fear being watched?"

The elder coldly snorted, "If there truly is an issue, it’s better to discover it early and be prepared. In recent years, ’Youyue Country’ has been plagued by constant warfare. As a top clan, we cannot stand by idly, and any hidden threat must be extinguished!"

"I understand!"

Nangong Yuan suddenly recalled something but hesitated to speak while glancing at his uncle.

"Hmph! Speak your mind! What do you look like being so hesitant?"

The elder spotted Nangong Yuan’s reluctance and impatiently asked.

"It’s like this! Li Wutian has mentioned several times wanting to use our teleportation array to reach the border areas. I reckon they’re in quite a hurry. If they wish to leave immediately, what should we do?"

Nangong Yuan didn’t dare hide his thoughts and shared them.

Upon hearing this, the elder’s brows knitted into a character resembling "川", falling into a brief contemplation.

"Yuan’er, the long-distance teleportation array is of great importance. The clan’s teleportation array links to key locations and must not be used lightly by those of unclear origins."

A moment later, he looked at Nangong Yuan with a hawk-like gaze and said in a deep voice, "Yet, these ’Myriad Poison Sect’ cultivators are now on our land. If we outright refuse them, it might arouse their suspicion and could potentially lead to conflict between the two factions."

At this moment, the significant figure also hesitated.

The ’Myriad Poison Sect’ is not weak, and having good relations with them could benefit the Nangong Family.

But if we choose wrongly and offend the friends of the ’Myriad Poison Sect’, then it would mean pushing our friends away and possibly making enemies.

It’s known that demonic cultivators are petty, and offending one side almost guarantees they will retaliate against us.

"What uncle says is very true. This group led by Li Wutian is not weak, especially Li Wutian himself, whose methods are unpredictable."

Nangong Yuan slightly nodded, worry filling his face. "Should conflict arise, even though the Nangong Family doesn’t fear them, we would still suffer losses. Moreover, this is a troubled time, and having more friends means more paths. We can’t offend the ’Myriad Poison Sect’ for no reason!"

"If they truly have issues, letting them leave and head for the ’Endless Mountain Range’ to mingle with other forces might bring us even greater trouble in the future."

The elder lightly stroked his beard, a flash of ruthlessness in his eyes, "Yuan’er, what do you think of their strength? If we forcibly detain them, how confident are we?"

"Uncle, these people are not to be underestimated."

Nangong Yuan pondered for a moment and cautiously replied, "Li Wutian is at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm. Even a sneak attack by our Golden Core Realm cultivators couldn’t stop him, demonstrating his capability. I’m afraid that in a conflict, though we would win, we would also end up embarrassed."

"Unless absolutely necessary, we shouldn’t take action lightly."

The elder heavily sighed, "The main forces of the clan have been dispatched by the ’Netherworld Ghost Sect’, even the ancestor is at the front line. If conflict breaks out, it wouldn’t be favorable for us!"

"Regarding the teleportation array, stall by saying it needs maintenance for a few days."

"During these days, make sure to find out everything about them. If they truly have no issues, then consider allowing them to use the teleportation array; if any suspicious signs are found, report to me immediately and then make a decision."

"Yes, Uncle."

Nangong Yuan replied respectfully, "Just during these days, if Li Wutian and his group keep urging to use the teleportation array, how should we handle it?"

"Hmph, if they urge, just tell them the clan’s teleportation array has been frequently used lately and developed some faults that need time to repair, asking them to be patient."

The elder’s gaze turned cold, "Remember, in your words, you must both appease them and not expose any flaws."

Nangong Yuan accepted the order, inwardly lamenting how hospitality towards a friend and drawing in some peripheral Daoists had led to so much trouble.

His uncle’s demands were truly difficult to meet!

Having both this and that, where in the world is there such a perfect scenario!

Moreover, from his uncle’s words, is the clan already so hollow?

"Alas! Damn ’Netherworld Ghost Sect’, truly using us clansmen to death!"

After leaving his uncle, Nangong Yuan cursed silently, his face grim.

Shortly after, Nangong Yuan arrived at the courtyard where Li Yunjing and the others resided.

"Brother Li! Fellow Daoists!"

Outside the door, Nangong Yuan did not rely on his host status to barge in but stood at the entrance and called out inside.

"Brother Nangong, please come in!"

With a creak, the door was opened. Li Yunjing stood at the entrance with a smile, welcoming Nangong Yuan’s arrival.

"Brother Li, I’ve come to visit, hoping I’m not interrupting your cultivation."

Nangong Yuan entered the courtyard with a broad smile. Seeing Li Yunjing, he quickly stepped forward and said warmly.

"Brother Nangong, what are you saying? We’re more than happy to have you here!"

Li Yunjing’s smile remained unchanged, courteously responding, "Please come in!"

Yu Yunyi, Lv Ruoxi, and Fu Chao also came out to greet Nangong Yuan politely.

Between both parties, a scene of harmony and friendliness unfolded.

To those unaware of the underlying details, it would seem the relationship between both sides was very cordial indeed!
