703: Chapter 692: Challenging Ning Fan 703: Chapter 692: Challenging Ning Fan Gu insects are best known from such a mystical place as Miao Jiang, which has a very long history, especially since the Yunteng family has taken to the path of the Evil Gu, which is a heretical practice.
Placing a bunch of poisonous creatures in one spot, in the end, only one remains.
Teng Huayang had learned the Gu Art from a young age, and he also carried Poison Gu with him at all times.
Unlike the common people of the Yunteng family, he held the power over many people’s life and death.
Take, for example, a master like Teng Dong, who had Gu insects implanted in him since childhood—if he harbored any disloyalty towards the family, the head of the family could easily manipulate his life or death.
His trip to Jiangcheng this time, albeit primarily for Ning Fan, also required Teng Huayang to check in on Shangguan Tenglong and others, due to Teng Zhuhai’s reasons.
However, he was not in the mood to deal with it just yet.
When he was done having his fun, it wouldn’t be too late to go then.
The Shangguan family didn’t concern themselves with Teng Huayang and Teng Dong for the time being.
As long as they didn’t actively seek out trouble, Shangguan Tanglong and everyone in the Shangguan family simply ignored the two of them.
“Teng Dong, go see what exactly has happened to Shangguan Tenglong and the others.”
Upon entering the guest room, Teng Huayang stretched out lazily, then instructed Teng Dong and closed the door, planning to take a nap first.
Later, Teng Dong found Shangguan Tanglong and expressed a desire to visit Shangguan Tenglong and the others.
Shangguan Tanglong’s brow furrowed slightly, wondering something or other, but he still took Teng Dong to see Shangguan Tenglong.
“Don’t move rashly; let me see how bad your injuries are.”
Lying on the bed, Shangguan Tenglong attempted to rise and salute the moment he saw Teng Dong, but the pale-faced head of the Shangguan family was completely immobile.
Seeing that it was Teng Dong who arrived, Shangguan Tenglong sighed with relief.
Since a person from the Yunteng family had come, it meant that the Shangguan family would soon be able to overcome their difficulties.
However, Shangguan Tenglong failed to notice the expression on Shangguan Tanglong’s face; he stood to one side, eyeing Teng Dong with a watertight gaze, his thoughts unreadable.
Although Teng Huayang claimed he knew a way to at least treat Shangguan Tenglong’s injuries, Shangguan Tanglong, despite not doubting the Yunteng family’s ability, was worried about Teng Huayang’s methods.
If only the Holy Medicine hadn’t been taken by Ning Fan…
That was Shangguan Tanglong’s thought.
Without Ning Fan, they wouldn’t have to suffer so much humiliation today; without avenging this insult, they would likely never be able to swallow their resentment in this lifetime.
After checking Shangguan Tenglong’s injuries, Teng Dong’s eyes flashed with surprise.
He looked at Shangguan Tanglong and asked, “Is that Ning Fan really that powerful?”
The two men in the room frowned at the mention of Ning Fan by Teng Dong.
Looking at the weakened Shangguan Tenglong on the bed, Shangguan Tanglong spoke to Teng Dong angrily, “That Ning Fan is truly detestable.
It’s uncertain whether my brother’s injuries can be healed, and many of our clan members have been crippled too.
Do you have any way to help?”
It seemed Shangguan Tanglong didn’t want to bring up Ning Fan any further; he appeared somewhat averse to the topic.
Teng Dong glanced at Shangguan Tanglong, then looked at Shangguan Tenglong lying on the bed, and replied indifferently, “Of course, there’s a way.”
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Tanglong’s eyes widened with surprise.
Just as he was about to ask Teng Dong what exactly the method was, Teng Dong stood up with a cold demeanor, ignoring both of them.
Instead, he had Shangguan Tanglong show him the other family members who had been incapacitated by Ning Fan.
For instance, the twin Object-Manipulating Evils of the Shangguan Family were now also lying in bed, in need of care.
After assessing the injuries of everyone one by one, Teng Dong gained a rough understanding of the damage suffered by the Shangguan Family at the moment, and his curiosity about Ning Fan grew stronger.
The Shangguan Family had numerous experts, and several ancient martial artists at the Object-Manipulating Realm were in residence.
But now, Shangguan Tanglong was the only one at the Object-Manipulating Realm holding the fort, and most of their experts had been seriously injured by Ning Fan.
Some were even partially paralyzed.
No wonder the Shangguan Family was so eager to find them—the Yunteng Family.
With the current state of the Shangguan Family, if all two major families of Jiangcheng joined forces in an attack, the Shangguan Family wouldn’t even know how they died.
“Alright, I have a fairly good idea about your situation now.
I’m going to report back to the young master.”
After saying this, Teng Dong prepared to leave.
Shangguan Tanglong, however, still didn’t know what they intended to do to treat Shangguan Tenglong and immediately called after him, determined to find out.
This matter was of great importance to the Shangguan Family.
It was understandable for Shangguan Tanglong to be so anxious.
But as far as Teng Dong was concerned, Shangguan Tanglong was somewhat troublesome.
Teng Dong’s expression quickly became impatient.
“We will save them, but when and how we do it, that’s our business.
Wait for the young master’s word,” he said.
Leaving behind these words, Teng Dong also gave Shangguan Tanglong a warning look, as if reminding him not to bother him again.
Shangguan Tanglong watched Teng Dong’s retreating figure with frustration, clenching his fists tightly behind his back.
Teng Huayang and his servant Teng Dong were not giving any face to him, Shangguan Tanglong, and right now he was seething with a frustration that had no outlet.
Upon returning to Teng Huayang’s room, Teng Dong reported the conditions of Shangguan Tenglong and the others in detail.
Sitting on the bed, Teng Huayang’s expression was full of interest with a hint of disdain in his eyes.
Not only did Teng Dong convey the injuries of Shangguan Tenglong and the others, but he also spoke of Shangguan Tanglong’s subsequent questioning.
“Hmph, what’s the rush?
When I feel like it, I’ll save them.
What’s the hurry?
Don’t you agree?” Teng Huayang muttered somewhat displeased.
Although he had orders from Teng Zhuhai, this place was far from the emperor’s reach.
Whenever he wanted to save Shangguan Tenglong and the others was up to his mood.
Right now, Teng Huayang wanted to rest up a bit.
Tomorrow, he might as well enjoy the sights of Jiangcheng, and it wouldn’t be too late to save people after he was done having fun.
Teng Dong nodded and didn’t speak.
He didn’t dare to express his true thoughts because Teng Huayang had already cautioned him before.
Their primary purpose for coming to Jiangcheng wasn’t so much about the issues of the Shangguan Family but to investigate Ning Fan in Zhonghai.
However, Teng Huayang clearly wasn’t in a hurry to do so.
Teng Dong wanted to persuade Teng Huayang to prioritize their mission, but he didn’t dare to speak out, fearful of displeasing him.
The reason Teng Huayang wasn’t eager to investigate or help the Shangguan Family treat Shangguan Tenglong and others was that he had had enough of dealing with Gu Insects in Zang City.
Now that he was in Jiangcheng, he naturally wanted to live it up for a while.
