Chapter 1218: The One Conspiring with Demon Cultivators is Him

Nan Xiao felt extremely fortunate now, having listened to his daughter’s advice to enhance his cultivation before returning, instead of entering the Immortal Sect with the Pill given by his daughter and then going into isolation for Nascent Condensation. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

They actually planned to have the Great Elder take him down as soon as he returned, regardless of the truth, abolish his power, and have him take the blame for Nan Gong.

As for the Dragon Team in the Mortal World, the Nan Family’s martial power is so strong, if a few more people are sent out, can the Dragon Chief not compromise? Moreover, if the Dragon Chief insists on not compromising, are they planning to take down the Dragon Chief as well?

Truly sinister, if he were still a Golden Core Master, perhaps they would have succeeded.

Even if his daughter and son-in-law ascended to Nascent Soul later to help him clear his name, he would have already been dealt with.

Nan Xiao felt once again fortunate for not recklessly returning.

Seeing that neither attempt to take down Nan Xiao succeeded, the Great Elder hesitated: because dodging once was a coincidence, dodging twice was not a coincidence; Nan Xiao was not someone he could easily capture! Wanting to abolish his power to exchange for Nan Gong was even more impossible!

Moreover, it was only now that he noticed the powerful aura emanating from Nan Xiao, making him suspect one thing: Nan Xiao’s power is stronger than his!

He was already at Golden Core Perfection; stronger than him—was it a Nascent Soul?

He stood still, somewhat confused and said: "The fact that you conspired with Demon Cultivators to commit evil deeds and frame Nan Gong was spoken by the Family Head himself; could it be wrong?"

Although he had long suspected it, hearing the Great Elder say it himself still chilled Nan Xiao: this Nan Yun’ao wanted him dead.

He snorted: "Whatever the Family Head says is true? Nan Gong is his son, of course, he would speak for his son, pushing his son’s evil deeds onto others; isn’t that his usual tactic? So, what he says simply doesn’t count!"

"But, the Family Head has sworn a Heart Demon Oath for his words and actions! Even the Supreme Elder believed him; you saying his words don’t count is useless." The Great Elder reminded.

His original plan was not to let Nan Xiao speak, first take him down and then abolish his power. However, now finding out Nan Xiao’s power is higher than his own, his plan naturally has to change.

A strong man deserves respect, Nan Xiao has shown his abilities, therefore he has the right to defend himself.

Nan Xiao asked: "Oh, he swore a Heart Demon Oath? How did he swear a Heart Demon Oath?"

The Great Elder thought for a moment and very straightforwardly recited the Family Head’s sworn words.

"During Nan Gong’s battle with Demon Cultivators, Nan Xiao’s attack did not target the Demon Cultivators but targeted Nan Gong. And when the Dragon Chief broke Nan Gong’s Dantian, he did not do anything but also did not stop it. I swear, the two points I say are true; if false, I am willing to be invaded by the Heart Demon and die a soul-devouring death."

Nan Xiao laughed: "Well, he is not swearing a Heart Demon Oath, he is just playing word games!"

The Great Elder looked at Nan Xiao: "Word games?"

"Yes, what the Family Head said is indeed true, but it explains nothing. It neither proves he didn’t conspire with Demon Cultivators nor explains the issue of sending the Dragon Team squad to the Demon Cultivators for healing.

What he said about my attack on him, it wasn’t to harm him but to save people.

At that time, Nan Gong and Qiu Chunshan attacked the Dragon Team from front and back with their Array, and at the moment the Array descended, Nan Gong used spiritual power to condense a golden knife, intending to annihilate the exposed Dragon Team squad after the Array scattered. At the critical moment, I happened to arrive, launching a direct attack on the golden knife, finally blocking his attack, and saving nine members of the Dragon Team squad.

Therefore, the attack I launched was not to kill but to save people, and indeed saved the whole Dragon Team squad."
