693 With My Blood, I’ll Open the Gates of Heaven (1/2)

As the Leader of the Nine Pinnacles Mountain and one of the most powerful people in the Holy Region, Tian Xing never expected his visit to the Heaven Dao Pavilion would end up like this.

300 disciples of the Nine Pinnacles Mountain went with him.

Furthermore, ten of them were in the Sage State.

This composition was enough to fight the Heaven Dao Pavilion. However, right now, he had no choice but to make verbal threats. This meant that Tian Xing was in a really desperate state.

He was not the only one.

Dozens of Nine Pinnacles Mountain disciples were in similar states. With their strength, there was no way they could resist the attractive force of the Blood Offering Illustration.

”Ah! No!”

”Master!”

”Save me…”

Their voices rang out in Tian Xing's ears. Figures whizzed past him as they flew into the Blood Offering Illustration in the sky.

It was a shocking scene.

Nangong Hao said nothing. He did not reply to Tian Xing's words. It was as if he had not even heard his threat.

He grabbed Tian Xing tightly as he flew into the Blood Offering Illustration with him.

This scene shocked the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples. Not only were they shocked, they also felt a strange sense of suspicion.

They did not know why he was doing this.

The moment Nangong Hao spat blood out from his mouth, they thought that this could stop because Nangong Hao, like everyone else, was controlled by the Blood Offering Illustration.

However, the truth was that…

Nangong Hao had no intention of stopping. Not only did he not stop, he continued to fight with his life. It was as if he wanted to personally drag Tian Xing into the Blood Offering Illustration.

A suicide mission?

What was the point of this suicide mission?

No one knew.

Fang Zhengzhi did not know too. After all, after Nangong Hao stabbed Tian Xing for no apparent reason, everything turned strange.

He subtly felt that this situation was not as simple as it seemed, because with Nangong Hao's cunning, he could not possibly make such a mistake.

So was this a suicide mission?

Impossible!

With Fang Zhengzhi's understanding of Nangong Hao, he knew that he did everything carefully. Hence, he should have a plan for when he became injured.

So if this was not a suicide mission…

Why was he so intent on dragging Tian Xing into the Blood Offering Illustration? If he really entered it, what method would he use to escape from it?

If Nangong Hao could escape from it, Tian Xing could too!

There were too many questions.

The most important point was why Nangong Hao wanted to drag Tian Xing into the Blood Offering Illustration even if it meant that he would get devoured by the Blood Offering Illustration too. What secret was inside it?

Fang Zhengzhi did not know.

However, he could see the panic in Nangong Mu's eyes, as well as his look of agony.

”Brother, no!” Nangong Mu's voice was not only panicky, but he was also pained. It was a pain that came from the heart.

At this moment…

Fang Zhengzhi felt a figure lashing out from behind him. It was a snake tail that shone faintly with light. It lashed out extremely quickly toward Nangong Hao and Tian Xing.

The snake tail coiled around them.

”Kacha!” The snake tail coiled itself around Nangong Hao and Tian Xing who were hurtling toward the Blood Offering Illustration. Instantly, Tian Xing and Nangong Hao both stopped.

”Chi Guyan…” Nangong Hao's body trembled. His snow-white scholar robes danced in the air as he finally spoke that name faintly.

”Nangong Hao, stop! It's not too late!” Beads of sweat dripped from Chi Guyan's face. It was clear that she was having a hard time.

”I know, but I can't because this… this is my destiny…” As Nangong Hao spoke, he grabbed the snake tail that was coiled around him as he tried to push it off him.

”Brother, father did not say that you should sacrifice your life. The destiny of the Nangong Family can be completed by me too. Brother… go!” Nangong Mu shouted the moment he heard Nangong Hao's voice.

”Go? It's too late… brother, I'm sorry! I know that you're very strong and I know that you want to beat me, even if it's just once. However, I can't be defeated by you, not even once. Brother, you are a true genius. No one was able to cultivate our family's 'Green and Blue Secret Art' for a few hundred years, but you did!”

Nangong Hao shook his head slightly. Then, he looked skyward and continued, ”Actually, on that day, I was really happy for you… father was too. He even said that he wanted to raise you specially, in case something happened. However, I stopped father. I told him that nothing would happen. I made him give all his resources to me because only I can realize the Nangong Family's destiny!”

”When you wrote your reflections for the 'Green and Blue Secret Art' and handed it joyfully to father, I was there too!” When Nangong Hao said this, a crystal-clear light shone in his eyes. ”I told father that the future of the Nangong Family can only depend on me, and me only!”

”Brother, do you know? It's not that father did not want to see your reflections for the 'Green and Blue Secret Art', and it's not that he did not want to use it to teach other members of our family. However, he knew that I would not like it!” At this moment, Nangong Hao's voice turned sad. Quickly, he recovered and said, ”Actually, winning all the time isn't a happy thing!”
