Chapter 785: Revelation

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Fang Yuan suddenly realized what it felt like to be universally condemned with no way out.

With the large amount of evidence, many martial artists changed their expressions. They took out their armaments and confronted the guards of the villa.

Nangong Wentian, however, was expressionless, looking calm despite the crisis.

Nangong Xiu was scared, Nangong Qing smiled coldly but looked a bit sad, and Nangong Fu silently moved closer to Nangong Wentian.

Everything was like a scene in a play, making Fang Yuan feel interested as he watched it.

“Villa Lord Nangong!” Elder Wan and Venerable Pine Crane, initially seated at the same table as Nangong Wentian, became enraged and distanced themselves from the villa lord. “We’ve been friends for many years, so we only want to ask one question now⁠—did you really do it?”

“Hmph... The winner is the king and the loser is the villain!” Nangong Wentian let out a long sigh, then stood with his hands behind the back. “How could you possibly have the ability to discover what I’m doing? Demon Sect, I didn’t expect that you’d find me here!”

“Hehe... Villa Lord Nangong, it took us a lot of effort to find you!” A man wearing a gray robe stood up in the crowd, his voice hoarse and hideous like an owl’s.

“What?”

“Demon Sect?”

The expressions of Elder Wan and other martial artists changed. This was the most powerful evil force in the Pugilistic World, and it was said that the demons inside their sect were so cold-blooded that children would stop crying at night at the mention of their names.

While they were stunned, they also felt somewhat bewildered.

If everything was a conspiracy by the Demon Sect, why would the man in gray acknowledge it? Would that not be a loophole in their plan to kill Nangong Wentian?

“We’re all the same, so what’s the point of mocking us?” The man in gray shook his head. “I haven’t introduced him to you. Villa Lord Nangong—Oh right! He used to go by a different name—is a deacon of the Demon Sect as well. His poisoning skill is comparable to his teacher, the Five Poisons Dharma King!”

Bang! Bang!

Just as he finished talking, the martial artists at the outermost tables fell to the ground in shock. Their limbs felt numb, and they could no longer concentrate their inner force.

Whoosh!

Groups of people collapsed like cut wheat. In the blink of an eye, most of the guests had fallen to the ground.

Nangong Wentian had evidently poisoned the food!

Did Nangong Wentian obtain intelligence in advance? Or perhaps he decided to capture all of them before the banquet... Or did he poison the food just now? If it’s the last case, he’s really skillful since he managed to target enemies only!

Fang Yuan looked around.

Other than the people from the Divine Armament Mountain Villa, only Elder Wan, the man in gray, and a few other experts with powerful inner strength could still remain standing.

“Why... did you have to force me?” Nangong Wentian sighed with his hands behind the back. “I only wanted to leave the Pugilistic World quietly and cultivate my martial arts. Why do you always force me to do such things?”

“*Tsk tsk... *There’s Heavenly Fragrance Pepper in the food. It’s not poisonous, but when mixed with the aroma of burning Spike Whale oil, it can deprive a person of their strength for three days... You’ve prepared this in advance!”

The man in gray shook his head but did not look surprised. It was evident that he had something to rely on.

“Are all the juniors in the current Demon Sect as cocky as you?”

Nangong Wentian waved his hand, and Uncle Fu led a large array of armored guards over. Their swords and crossbows were aimed at the man in gray. “Never mind. I’ll kill you all and sacrifice your blood to the Demonic Armament. This must be sufficient to complete the feeding! Attack!”

He clearly knew that it was better to act earlier, and he did not want to wait for the spies of the Demon Sect to take action. Thus, he resolutely gave the order.

“Understood!” Uncle Fu answered with a grin. He moved as fast as a ghost and struck out his palm!

Thump!

He hit Nangong Wentian’s chest with all his strength, and the sound of bones fracturing was heard. He immediately retreated after that, evading Nangong Wentian’s counterattack like a butterfly.

“You... aren’t Fu!” Nangong Wentian covered his chest, and blood flowed out of his mouth. He stared furiously at Uncle Fu.

“Hehe... Aren’t you satisfied with me, Villa Lord?” Uncle Fu said in a feminine voice, giving goosebumps to those who heard him.

“The Amorphous Dao of the Six Dao Demon Sect specializes in assassination and disguise... Since you’ve killed Fu and disguised yourself using his skin, you must have infiltrated these armored guards as well!” Nangong Wentian stood straight despite his injuries.

Shualala!

An upheaval broke out among the armored guards, many of whom killed their fellow soldiers without hesitation.

After a while, the majority of the armored guards were either killed or injured, and the rest aimed their weapons at their past villa lord.

“The Villa Lord is indeed clever. It’s a pity... you realized it too late...” The woman in disguise still appeared as Uncle Fu. “Nevertheless... that’s because you’ve spent most of this month with the Demonic Armament in the underground cave. Otherwise, you’d have discovered that something was wrong! But now, I’ve killed two of your three honorary experts and bribed the other one. You’re truly on your own!”

“That’s right!” Nangong Wentian looked around.

He was isolated and his reputation was ruined.

Furthermore, he was seriously injured and besieged. It was a hopeless situation.

“Dad... Th-this isn’t true!” Nangong Xiu was pale. She took a few steps back and held on to her husband’s hand.

However, her husband, Xu Ruyu, was as pale as her.

“As expected...” Nangong Qing sighed. “This day has finally come. Do you feel remorseful?”

“Remorseful? Why should I be?” A few streaks of blood appeared in Nangong Wentian’s eyes. “Wuwang, come forward!”

Fang Yuan was suddenly stiff from head to toe.

Something’s wrong!

The Demon Sect has the ability to achieve immediate victory, but they’re deliberately delaying in order to corner Nangong Wentian! They must be scheming for something important!

While Nangong Wentian seems to be in a desperate situation, he still has a chance because of the Demonic Armament! According to what he said, the cultivation of the Demonic Armament will be complete with one last round of blood sacrifice... If he takes it out now, he could kill them all!

Is the secret going to finally be revealed?

Although he was perfectly aware of it, he still moved forward. After all, he still needed to resolve some of this body’s karma.

“Brother, run! Old thief!!!” Nangong Qing became red-eyed. “Attack!”

Schwing!

The Flying Feather Sword was taken out of its sheath.

Chang Kun attacked Nangong Wentian without hesitation.

Smack!

Nangong Fu wielded her whip.

The third sister of Nangong Wuwang displayed impressive skills in martial arts, managing to hold back Chang Kun.

“Third Sister, are you still going to assist this evil? Did you know that all these years, this old thief has been using Little Brother as the saber sheath and sacrificing his essence to the Demonic Armament? If he hadn’t done such things, why would Little Brother be so feeble?”

Nangong Qing’s eyes became blood red.

Nangong Fu did not speak and continued fighting.

The Demon Sect members grinned as they watched the Nangong family’s internal strife. They stood aside, having no intention of launching an attack.

The man in gray looked at the scene and thought to himself, Nangong Wentian fled with the Demonic Armament years ago and was only found recently. Deeper investigation revealed that he’s almost completed refining the useless Demonic Armament with sacrifice. They kept him alive until now so that he could complete the last stage of the process!

As for the progress in his martial arts after obtaining the Demonic Armament, the man in gray did not fear that possibility at all.

No matter how good the armament was, the outcome would ultimately depend on the martial artist using it!

Furthermore, the Demon Sect had secretly sent an armament-wielding elder here just in case.

They would achieve unprecedented accomplishments when they brought back Nangong Wentian’s head and the refined Demonic Armament!

With this thought, his expression became zealous. He gazed at Fang Yuan mischievously. Nangong Wuwang is apparently concealing something as well. What’ll happen next? Will father and son fight against each other?

...

“Wuwang...”

Looking at his son before him, Nangong Wentian had mixed feelings.

He had obtained incomplete pages from the Ancient Armament Manual, which recorded a method of recovering the power of Divine Armaments.

When he saw the rusted Demonic Armament, evil thoughts arose in his mind, so he betrayed the Demon Sect and changed his name to Nangong Wentian.

And it had taken him lots of effort to refine the armament using the method in the manual.

If he used Six Extremes Armament Commandeering Art right now, he could refine Nangong Wuwang into the ‘saber sheath’ by sacrificing Wuwang’s essence and soul, and Nangong Wuwang would then become the Saber Spirit!

This was the most important step!

How could he control the unruly Demonic Armament? The only way was to sacrifice a family member as the Saber Spirit and suppress the backlash with the naturally familiar aura!

The Armament Manual had mentioned that if the sacrifice died willingly, the armament would obtain the most powerful might.

Nangong Wentian put his hand on the top of Nangong Wuwang’s head, but remained silent.

“Old thief! Little Brother, run! He’s going to sacrifice you for the armament!!!” Nangong Qing stared wide-eyed.

“Eldest Sister!” Nangong Fu’s eyes turned red. She shook her head. “You’ve misunderstood Dad. H-he’s not this kind of person! He’s going to sacrifice himself!”

“What?” Nangong Qing was shocked, and Chang Kun stopped fighting as well.

Nangong Wentian stared at his son and suddenly asked, “Wuwang... do you believe in Dad?”

“I do!” Fang Yuan gave a short but resolute answer, but he actually had nothing to fear.

“Haha... Great!” Nangong Wentian laughed. “Remember to... live well!”

Rumble!

A torrent of inner force flowed from his palm into Fang Yuan’s body.

The sudden change astonished the Demon Sect members.

So... this old thing has been doing all of this for his son? The man in gray gazed at the scene and felt shocked, but shook his head immediately. If Nangong Wentian was the one using the armament, there would be a chance for him to escape. However, if the armament is used by Nangong Wuwang, hehe... This is an accomplishment granted to me by heaven!

So Nangong Wentian is such a person? This is a bit troublesome... Fang Yuan was dumbfounded in his mind.

If Nangong Wentian wanted to kill his son, Fang Yuan could take this chance to thoroughly cut off their ties, but the situation was more problematic now.

Soon, he had no time to think about that.

As Fang Yuan received the reversed True Qi of Nangong Wentian’s Six Extremes Armament Commandeering Art, a peculiar change immediately took place in his body!
