Chapter 458 Ignoring the Dog's Barking! The Tragic Young Master Wang!
When Young Master Wang appeared, he first looked around blankly. When his gaze fell on Wang Tiangang, he was stunned for a moment, then his eyes burst with unbelievable joy. He scrambled towards Wang Tiangang, shouting incoherently:
"Ancestor! Ancestor, save me!"
"Young Master!" When Wang Tiangang saw Young Master Wang's disheveled appearance, his eyes twitched and his anger flared up.
He was the direct descendant of the Wang family's main branch, a man of such noble status, who was always the center of attention in the Tiannan Region. He had never suffered such humiliation before.
How dare this old eunuch humiliate the royal family like this!
He suppressed the urge to kill Chen Fan with a single palm strike, raised his hand, and used a gentle purple aura to pull Young Master Wang to his side. After a quick examination, he found that although Wang's cultivation was still there, his spirit was weak and his body was extremely frail. He had obviously suffered a lot, but his life was not in danger and his foundation was not damaged.
He breathed a slight sigh of relief, but that breath quickly turned into an even more intense rage, which he then directed at Chen Fan.
"Old eunuch!" Wang Tiangang stepped forward, his late-stage Nascent Soul power erupting forth. Although he was mindful of the Hundred Herbs Hall's restraint and didn't go all out, his chilling killing intent pierced towards Chen Fan like a tangible substance.
"How dare you treat the direct descendants of my Wang family like this! My Wang family will remember this! When the seal is broken and the main branch of the Tiannan Domain descends, we will surely make you vanish into thin air and raze this Great Abyss Imperial City to the ground!"
Despite the overwhelming killing intent and insults, Chen Fan's expression remained unchanged; in fact, a faint, almost mocking smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He raised his hand and caught the three jade boxes and jade slips in his hand, putting them away without even looking at them.
He seemed not to hear Wang Tiangang's threat at all, and simply said:
"We'll take the goods, you can take the person with you. The deal is done."
After saying that, he ignored the furious Wang Tiangang and the trembling young master Wang, and turned to walk towards the imperial city.
His steps were unhurried, the hem of his palace robe fluttering slightly in the autumn wind, his back view exuding an indifference that completely disregarded the late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator behind him.
Wang Tiangang trembled with rage, pointing at Chen Fan's retreating figure and shouting:
"You old eunuch! Did you hear me?! My Wang family is your sworn enemy!"
Chen Fan didn't stop walking, nor did he even turn his head. Only a light, airy sentence drifted on the wind and clearly reached Wang Tiangang's ears:
"Noisy. I can't hear the dogs barking."
"You!" Wang Tiangang almost spat out a mouthful of blood. His eyes flashed with murderous intent, and purple energy surged wildly around him. He was almost unable to control himself and was about to attack.
But in the end, he managed to suppress the impulse.
It wasn't just because of the two Nascent Soul auras locking onto this place in the distance, but also because the formation was about to be broken, and at this moment, we absolutely could not afford to lose sight of the bigger picture and disrupt our millennium-long plan.
Rescuing Young Master Wang is the top priority; revenge can come later!
He took a deep breath, forcibly calming his surging blood and killing intent, grabbed the still dazed Young Master Wang, transformed into a dazzling purple light, soared into the sky, and sped towards the direction of Old Dragon City, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.
……
In the depths of the Prince's Mansion in Old Dragon City, in a heavily guarded quiet room.
Wang Tiangang gently placed the unconscious young master Wang on a jade couch covered with soft brocade. At this moment, after leaving the world inside the bowl and experiencing high-speed flight, the young master Wang could no longer hold on and fell into a deep sleep.
Wang Tiangang took out several rare pills that nourished the soul and strengthened the foundation, carefully dissolved them, and fed them to Young Master Wang. He then used his own pure Nascent Soul True Essence to smooth out the meridians and nourish the depleted vital energy.
About two hours later, thanks to Wang Tiangang's tireless efforts in treating him, the young master's pale face finally regained some color, his long eyelashes trembled a few times, and he slowly opened his eyes.
At first, his eyes were somewhat confused and frightened, as if he were still immersed in the endless labor and "teaching".
When he realized he was in a magnificent room, with Wang Tiangang looking at him with concern, and felt the gentle medicinal power flowing slowly through his body, he truly understood that he had escaped his predicament and returned to the familiar world that belonged to him.
"Ancestor..." Young Master Wang's voice was hoarse and dry as he struggled to sit up.
"Young master, please don't move, rest well." Wang Tiangang quickly pressed him down, a hint of heartache flashing in his eyes, but more so a sense of solemnity and lingering fear.
If Young Master Wang really gets into trouble in the sealed land, everyone in his lineage will be buried with him!
Just then, a report came from outside the quiet room: "Ancestor, the other seven families have arrived and are waiting in the front hall."
Wang Tiangang frowned and glanced at the weakened Young Master Wang.
Young Master Wang shook his head, indicating that he was fine. The arrogance of youth had long since vanished from his eyes, replaced by a deep melancholy and... hatred that was incongruous with his age.
"Let them in," Wang Tiangang said in a deep voice.
Soon, seven figures filed in.
It was Zhao Wenchang, Qian Duobao, Sun Meiniang, Li Batian, Zhou Shan, Wu Youdao, and Zheng Xuan from the Zhao family.
The eight Nascent Soul elders or representatives of the eight major families in Old Dragon City have gathered here at this moment.
When everyone saw the haggard-looking young master Wang on the jade couch, their expressions changed slightly.
Although they knew that Young Master Wang had been captured, seeing this direct descendant of the Wang family, who could roam freely in the Southern Region, fall to such a state shocked them greatly. At the same time, they gained a more direct understanding of the old eunuch's audacity and methods.
Zhou Shan stepped forward, knelt on one knee, bowed his head, clasped his hands, and said in a sorrowful voice, "Young Master has suffered such a calamity because of my inadequate protection and negligence! I have failed the trust of the patriarch and Young Master, and I beg you to punish me!"
Young Master Wang lay on the couch, his gaze slowly sweeping over every Nascent Soul cultivator present. These figures, who were considered overlords in the sealed land, all had to bow their heads before him at this moment.
He tugged at the corners of his mouth, revealing a smile that looked more like a grimace.
"Guest Master Zhou...please rise." His voice was still hoarse, but much calmer. "This matter...is not entirely your fault. That old eunuch...is far too cunning and treacherous."
He paused, a flicker of fear crossing his eyes, as if recalling the "simple" teachings he received in the world within the bowl. "Having gone through this ordeal, it was all... my carelessness."
He didn't describe in detail what happened in the bowl, but his appearance and tone were enough to send chills down the spines of everyone present.
The experiences that could transform such a proud and arrogant young master of the royal family into this state are unimaginable.
Young Master Wang took a few breaths and continued, "It's a miracle that I came out alive..."
He spoke these words with utmost seriousness, even with a hint of relief at surviving a calamity, which made Wang Tiangang and the others feel even more uneasy.
Then, Young Master Wang's eyes suddenly turned sharp as knives, and the majesty and hatred of a superior surged forth once more. Despite his weak body, his aura made the Nascent Soul elders present feel a sense of pressure.
"But," he said, enunciating each word clearly and coldly, "this humiliation will be avenged! this grudge will be settled!"
