“Greetings, Brother Shen.”
There was no change in Nangong Yao’s cold eyes. Although she did not know why this Guardian Shen, whom she had never met before, was so close to her, she still called out.
The representatives of the Cheng, Wu, and Jin families maintained a smile on their faces, but they were frowning in their hearts. It would not be a good thing if these two people liked each other. Moreover, they were both young prodigies. Once they really had a good impression of each other, it was very likely that they would be together.
All the representatives looked at each other and saw the coldness in each other’s eyes.
When the celebration banquet officially began, Lian Nishang secretly pinched Shen Ping’s waist with a malicious look in her eyes.
Shen Ping was calm and composed. It was not that he had taken a fancy to Nangong Yao, but that she was a human Immortal Venerable after all. He felt a sense of accomplishment to be able to take advantage of the reincarnation world.
Halfway through the banquet, a white mist suddenly filled the entire Nangong Manor. Immediately after, a stench spread out.
“Who are you? How dare you trespass into my Nangong Mansion!” The bloodline aura on Old Ancestor Nangong’s body suddenly erupted, instantly dispersing a large amount of white fog. There were already more than ten Star Realm demons floating in the air.
“Ah, i-it’s a great demon!”
“Star-ranked great demon!”
The guests in the manor immediately panicked. So many great demons had come at once. They wanted to wash the entire Jizhou City with blood! Old Ancestor Nangong’s expression changed, and he hurriedly used his bloodline technique to send a message to Nangong Yao, “Yao’er, quick, run! Their target is you! Go to the Demon Suppression Division!”
Nangong Yao came back to her senses. Without thinking, she used the Nangong Family’s Blood Escape to escape in the direction of the Demon Suppression Division. The Demon Suppression Division was a powerful organization in the Xia Dynasty that suppressed demons. Even Star Palace experts did not dare to barge into the Demon Suppression Division of a state capital.
“Hmph, a mere human who has just broken through to the Star Rank wants to escape?!” One of the green flood dragons opened its mouth and spat out a large number of icicles that swept out in all directions. In an instant, it enveloped the Nangong Manor. Nangong Yao, who had just escaped to the edge of the back door of the mansion, immediately appeared.
Three demons rushed over.
Old Ancestor Nangong and the Nangong Family members had already rushed forward to stop the other Star Rank demons. Although the representatives of the other aristocratic families did not want to see the rise of the Nangong Family, they could only brace themselves and charge at this moment.
The scene instantly became chaotic.
At the edge of the mansion, flames rose around Nangong Yao’s body. She was like a fire phoenix that had been reborn from the flames. She was not afraid of the encirclement of the three demons at all.
“Hurry up and deal with it. We don’t have much time.”
If not for the help of the Jin family, it would have been impossible for the greater demons of the Demon God Sect to infiltrate Jizhou City. When the Demon Suppression Division received the news, they would definitely immediately provide support. Although there were no Star ranks, the Demon Suppression Division was specially guarded by the imperial court. He could command the army of Jizhou City.
If an army of bloodline Awakened rushed over, they would not be able to escape.
All kinds of demonic abilities were used, but they still couldn’t take Nangong Yao down.
On the other side, the Star Rank demons were fighting with Old Ancestor Nangong and the representatives of the other aristocratic families. As these demons were not fighting with their lives on the line, they were in a stalemate for a moment.
At the banquet table, Lian Nishang and Ling Yu’er only grabbed Shen Ping’s arm. In such a scene, the two of them did not even dare to move.
“Brother Shen, what should we do?”
“Don’t worry. Some demons are just causing trouble. When the Demon Suppression Division reacts, they will definitely be able to deal with them easily.”
But the Demon Suppression Division did not provide support for a long time. This made Old Ancestor Nangong immediately understand that there must be an aristocratic family participating and hindering the Demon Suppression Division. It was even possible that they had bribed the guards sent by the dynasty.
“Damn it, who wants to harm my Nangong Family!” Old Ancestor Nangong exploded. Flames erupted from his body like a volcano. It held a flame spear in its hand and attacked the green flood dragon crazily, suppressing it. However, the green flood dragon was not weak and could keep Old Ancestor Nangong busy.
The other members of the Nangong family could not do so. Soon, they were severely injured by the demon.
When Nangong Yao, who had already escaped from the Nangong Manor, saw this scene, she made up her mind and quickly fled out of Jizhou City. She knew that these demons were targeting her. As long as she went out of the city, these demons would definitely retreat. In this way, the lives of the old ancestor and her clansmen would be saved.
“Yao’er, no!!” When Old Ancestor Nangong saw this, he shouted anxiously. However, it could no longer be stopped.
When the other Greater Demons saw this, they used their own methods to escape from the battle. They quickly retreated from the Nangong Manor and chased after Nangong Yao, who was fleeing outside Jizhou City.
The originally chaotic Nangong Manor suddenly became deserted. Only the Nangong clansmen who had suffered heavy casualties were left to treat each other.
“Nishang, Yu’er, the two of you go back to the Demon Suppression Division. I’ll go take a look.”
“Ah, Brother Shen, be careful.”
“Brother Shen.”
Lian Nishang looked at Shen Ping worriedly.
Shen Ping smiled and pinched Lian Nishang’s face. “Your Brother Shen is very powerful. These demons don’t have the ability to hurt me.”
An hour passed.
In the sky above a lake far away from Jizhou City, the green flood dragon and the other Star Realm demons surrounded Nangong Yao.
“Nangong Yao, your Nangong family’s escape technique is really amazing. You actually managed to run so far. However, it’s all in vain. Your Nangong family’s ancestor is still halfway there. Even if he comes, it’s useless. You should just stay obedient when we capture you.”
