The Second Elder and the Third Elder lay in the same hospital room.
"When I get out... I'll make that little girl pay!" the Third Elder gritted his teeth and shouted from his bed.
However, the moment he finished speaking, he winced in pain, his bones aching.
"You," the Second Elder groaned from his own bandaged bed next door, "stop talking. Make her pay? Are you even a match for her?" he sighed, "I never expected that little girl, who was so prodigiously talented back then, would have grown to this extent."
"I never expected the clan head to send people in secret," the Third Elder mused. "No wonder the person who rescued that mother and daughter from me back then seemed familiar. It must have been Wentian, who's always by the clan head's side." He added, "No wonder we haven't seen old man Wentian around much since then."
"You actually want Wentian to show up? If he were managing the family, would there be any room for you?" the Second Elder taunted mercilessly. "The two of us combined aren't even a match for Wentian."
The Third Elder fell silent. Indeed.
Wentian, he was the only Earth Ranking expert among the many members of the Nangong family.
And the only Earth Ranking expert in so many years!
Nangong Wudi was Wentian's disciple, and Nangong Wushuang was initially taught by Wentian in her childhood, before being tutored by the Old Master, as the story went.
Whether it was Nangong Wushuang or Nangong Wudi, both were destined to become Earth Ranking experts in the future, and perhaps, if given the chance, they could even reach the Heaven Ranking.
The Heaven Ranking...
Even the current War God of the Dragon Country, the Dragon King of the Northern Frontier, might not necessarily be a Heaven Ranking expert, right?
None of the experts they knew of from their time outside had entered the Heaven Ranking.
No matter how high Lin Xiao's talent was, it shouldn't be possible.
But then again, not necessarily.
As the two were talking, a group of people suddenly entered the hospital room.
Before they could utter a word, these people began to remove their IV drips and push their beds out.
"What are you doing?"
"Who are you people? Do you know who I am!"
The Third Elder shouted, and as he tried to struggle, the First Elder entered from outside.
"Tianming? What's going on! Who are these people?!" the Third Elder yelled.
But as soon as he spoke, the First Elder made his move.
He placed a palm on the Third Elder's neck, and the Third Elder fainted.
"What are you doing!"
Seeing this, the Second Elder's true energy surged, and he was about to retaliate. The next moment, the First Elder grabbed him by the neck. "Apologies, this is for the Nangong family."
"What... what do you mean..."
The Second Elder looked at the First Elder in confusion, wondering why this was happening.
In the next second, he too was knocked unconscious.
"Take them away."
The First Elder let out a long sigh. This was all for the Nangong family!
Otherwise, their Nangong family would truly be finished in the future.
Not just these two, but all the Nangong family members who were in Shashi previously were, without exception, rounded up and sent to a location.
There, Jiang Tao and Rao Yilong were already waiting.
"President Lin asked us to wait here?" Rao Yilong was not very understanding. "Do you think the Nangong family members will really hand them over so obediently?"
"Of course. Trust President Lin," Jiang Tao replied.
Who was Lin Xiao? The Nangong family knew better than I did.
