"I can't say for sure. The Monster Emperor appeared after the battle that year. It was only because of his words that I felt that the successor of the Buddhist Sect should still be alive."

Nangong was recalling the inexplicable words that the Demon Emperor had said back then. The sin in his heart was slightly alleviated, and Lan Chao and the others felt a giant weight pressing down on their hearts.

The death zone was formed because it was the burial ground of the buddhist faith, and it contained the souls of countless experts from the buddhist faith.

How could they harm their own descendants?

Perhaps, not only was he not dead, he was also blessed.

Thinking of this, Lei Ao's killing intent immediately vanished. He no longer hated Nangong Zheng that much.

Nan Gong Zheng looked at Lei Ao, his mouth moved, as though he wanted to say something but was unable to say it.

"Do you have any unfulfilled wishes?" Lei Ao felt his life rapidly slipping away. The aftereffects of Burning Source had already appeared.

"I'm just worried about you, Young Lord." Nangong was currently looking at Nangong Mengjun who was recovering. He said, "Although they are both Divine Veins, the Divine Veins Aristocrat Clan cannot tolerate her, and neither can you."

"All of us grew up fighting. We won't die that easily." Lei Ao said.

"Now I'm starting to understand why the Demons and Demons have always kept their distance from the Divine Bloodline Family. It turns out that they already saw the truth of the matter. It's laughable that we still haven't figured it out and are still walking towards death step by step."

At this point, Nangong Zheng had a sorrowful look on his face, "You all must be careful, the enemies before you may not be the last."

"What do you mean?" Lei Ao's heart skipped a beat.

"I don't know. I just have a feeling that maybe it's because I'm dying. It made me remember something I didn't understand before."

Nangong Zheng sighed and continued, "If it really is a conspiracy, then this conspiracy has been set up since the start of the war in the Ancient Era."

During the Ancient Era, the Divine Veins Aristocrat Clan was initially evenly matched with those people, but in that battle, they were completely defeated, even losing out to the Buddhist Sect.

With the strength of the Divine Veins Family at that time, even if they couldn't do anything, they definitely wouldn't have been defeated. Moreover, there were branches of various families on the front lines that were trying to intercept the enemy.

But when war arrived, the Divine Veins Family wasn't thinking about how to fight off the enemy, but how to escape.

Nangong Zheng was not from the same generation, but he had been reading the clan's ancient records since he was young. He had long suspected that there was a secret behind the battle that year.

However, every time he asked the elders about it, he would get a reprimand and be confined in serious cases.

In that battle, the only ones who truly lost were the Buddhist Sect and the other branches of the family. The rest of the Divine Veins families all retained their full strength.

After that battle, the God Veins Alliance was formed. This alliance decided the fate of all the Divine Veins families.

Gradually, the people whose rights had been eroded began to forget their missions and the significance of their divine meridians. Everything was based on benefits.

"The first person who suggested killing you was from the Valley of Ice. Everyone else was a helper invited by the Valley. Nangong looked at Lei Ao, "If my guess is correct, I'm afraid Lan Chao has no idea why he wants to kill you."

"How is this possible? Didn't he mean to kill me? " Lei Ao was shocked.

"Indeed, it was his intention. But I guess, he's just a puppet that follows orders. With his strength, how could he occupy the position of an elder in the Valley of Ice? This itself is a doubtful point."

Nan Gong Zheng replied: "I am not sure about the other sects, but as an elder of the Nan Gong Family, he should at least know some secrets. As far as I know, the person in charge of the clan is not the Patriarch, but one of the ten Elders. "

"An elder has more authority than the Patriarch?" Lei Ao was surprised again.

"That person hid himself very well. I have not been able to find out who he was. Fortunately, he was attacked several times. Furthermore, in ancient times, only the Divine Veins Family ordered the use of forbidden techniques to forcefully extract the Divine Veins from their branches. The ones who made this decision were actually the elders of the various families, or even the elders who hid it from the Patriarch. "

"Are you trying to say that the Divine Bloodline Family has long been controlled by someone?"

"Yes, I have this feeling. This time, the elders suddenly issued an order to extract the young lord's divine vein essence, and then they drew out the family branch's divine vein from the Ancient Era. Maybe they are carrying out some kind of secret operation."

"Last but not least, in the ancient war, because of the Buddhist Sect risking their lives, the Divine Vein Family did not suffer too much. However, over these years, the strength of the aristocratic families has been declining rapidly. "

"Why is that?" Lei Ao asked.

"That's because in the past few years, there haven't been any outstanding disciples from the Divine Bloodline Family. After the experts from the older generation passed away, the situation of the family was not as good as it was before."

Nangong Zheng sighed, "Actually, it's not that there are no outstanding disciples, but they all disappeared when they stepped into the Saint Ruler realm. I've investigated them before, but there were no results. Instead, they were attacked by unknown experts for a long period of time."

"Could it be that this is also the intention of the clan elders? What good is weakening the power of the family to them? " Lei Ao didn't understand.

"I'm not sure if they're implying it or not, but those people must know something. It's not beneficial for them to weaken the younger generation. At the very least, it can strengthen their position."

As he was speaking, Nangong Zheng suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and his expression darkened. He said weakly, "I don't have much time left. I suggest that you don't fight with the Divine Veins Family head on and look for the Monster race. Perhaps they will help you."

"Has the Monster race not been infiltrated?"

"I don't think so. In ancient times, only Greatest Tathagata would be able to contend against him. When the Divine Veins Alliance was established, the Demon Emperor had clearly stated that he would only be carrying a name. He wouldn't care about the matters of the Alliance, and the Alliance wouldn't care about the Demon Race. "

"Monster race, huh ?" Lei Ao mumbled, as he recalled the Heavenly Wolf in the Demon City. The two of them had always been on good terms with each other, maybe they really could borrow the power of the demon race.

As Nan Gong finished speaking, his Qi became extremely weak and he used all his strength to force out a stream of blood essence from his fingertips. With a flick of his finger, he shot it into Nangong Meng Jun's forehead.

Nangong Mengjun who was in the midst of adjusting her breathing was caught off guard. The drop of blood essence instantly entered her forehead and quickly flowed through her body. Wherever it went, it was like a magma hell.

Not long later, Nangong Mengjun let out a painful groan. Her beautiful face was covered in sweat, as if she was enduring a great torture.

"Young Lord... "I'll leave it to you then ?" After Nangong was done with this matter, he quietly looked behind him. A Divine Emperor expert had fallen in front of Lei Ao and the others just like that.

There was not only one person that was going to die. It was unknown if it was because of Nangong Zheng, but Liu Yi stopped his healing. He walked shakily towards Liu Qingchen and extended his hand to touch her head.

In that instant, a tyrannical power poured out like a waterfall and endlessly poured into Liu Qingchen's body. This power included the power of his Divine Veins.

Both of them had their Source Energy ignited. However, at the last moment, for the sake of the dignity of the strong, they had given up on living and had dedicated their lives to their own juniors.

Liu Yi's cultivation was not high, but if he gave all of his Divine Veins to Liu Qingchen, it would actually allow her Divine Veins to evolve. Furthermore, with the activation of his powerful cultivation, he would not even need to go into closed door cultivation.

Every time he strengthened his Divine Veins, he would have to endure the corresponding heavenly tribulation. At this time, it was obvious that he wasn't suitable for the heavenly tribulation.

Lei Ao used the star map to collect the Heavenly Punisher God Lightning Crystal. When he had time in the future, he would give it to Liu Qingchen to absorb and refine his body.

Until his death, Liu Yi did not say a single word. He only looked at Lei Ao with a gaze that deeply expressed his thoughts.

Lei Ao sighed and said, "Don't worry, she's my little sister. With me, Lei Ao, for a day, I definitely won't let her suffer even the slightest bit."

'Puff! Puff! 'The big man collapsed and could no longer open his eyes ?

Nangong Mengjun and Liu Qingchen were both digesting the energy from the Divine Veins. Zhou Qing's injuries were severe and it would not be easy for him to recover in a short period of time. One of them was still recovering.

At this moment, Bluesea, who had the lightest injuries, stood up and looked at everyone with a complicated expression.

"Sea Eye ?" Huang Xin walked over and gently held her arm.

Lei Ao said, "Now you understand why I want to fight to the death with your family."
