C222 The Secret of Ingenious

Ye Xiaotian naturally couldn't refute Qu Liushang's judgment.

The two of them patiently waited in the mansion for Yaoguang's order. This wait lasted for two days. Ye Xiaotian once again studied the Dragon Abyss Palm while Qu Liushang rested comfortably for two days.

On the morning of the third day, the door of their room was knocked on. The female servant brought the two of them to Yaoguang's study room.

This time, Yaoguang was waiting for them.

"Both of you, the Inch-Light Sword will appear today. Please follow me. " Yaoguang Zhong looked at the two of them and said.

The two of them nodded and followed Yaoguang out of the house.

This time, they didn't bring too many people with them. Apart from Ye Xiaotian and Yaoguang, there were five more people with them. However, all five of them were wearing black robes, and their faces were covered with a crescent moon mask. They were dressed like the people of Bright Moon Tavern.

These eight people left the city and entered a forest in the eastern suburbs. There was a lake in the depths of the forest. They stopped when they were about 30 meters away from the lake.

Yaoguang pressed his palm, signaling everyone to hide.

Ye Xiaotian and Qu Liushang followed Yaoguang and hid behind a bunch of wild grass. They could see what was happening by the lake from where they were.

Although Ye Xiaotian and Qu Liushang had doubts in their hearts, they knew that it was not the time to ask questions, so they could only wait with Yaoguang.

After waiting for nearly an hour, a group of people finally arrived at the lakeside. There were about twenty people in this group, and each of them had a sword on their waist, and they looked extraordinary.

The leader was a middle-aged man. He was quite tall and there were two men following behind him. Two men were holding a woman. The woman was yelling and trying to break free, but it was useless.

After a while, a breeze blew and the whole forest was filled with rustling sounds.

A man stepped on the dust and walked to the group of people. His eyes were dull and lusterless. His body seemed very thin and his shadow was lonely. His eyes never moved away from the woman.

"It's finally here. " Yaoguang said in a low voice.

Ye Xiaotian and Qu Liushang's expressions also became serious. This man was none other than Nangong Rang.

His face was still pale, and every step he took was extremely slow. It seemed like his injuries had recovered after running around for so long.

"This is great! It seems like this kid's injuries haven't fully healed yet, so I'll leave the Nangong family to you!" Yaoguang stared at Nangong Rang with a ferocious expression on his face.

"Kid, you're finally here! I thought you were scared!" The tall middle-aged man spoke.

"Let go of Little Jin, I brought the Inch Light you wanted. " Nangong Rang finally shifted his gaze towards the middle-aged man, his eyes filled with killing intent.

"It seems like you're treating Little Jin like this. Speaking of which, I can be considered your uncle. The Nangong family has fallen into today's situation, and it's time for us to unite. Quickly, hand over the Inch Light!" The middle-aged man said with a smile on his face.

"Let Little Jin go first. " Nangong Rang didn't seem to trust this middle-aged man.

"Hmph, Xiao Jin is my daughter, will I make things difficult for her? If someone else brought Inch Light in front of me, I would naturally marry Little Jin to him, but you can't. " The middle-aged man looked at Nangong Rang with hatred in his eyes.

"Ah Rang, leave quickly, don't worry about me. " The woman kept crying, and tears fell from the corners of her eyes, soaking her dress.

Nangong Rang looked at the woman, and his eyes were filled with pity. He took a deep breath and looked at the middle-aged man. "The Nangong family is already in such a miserable state, what's the use of my identity?"

"We need to remove the roots of the weeds from the roots. " It was the middle-aged man's. The middle-aged man's words caused the woman's body to tremble.

"Father, father, please let Jean go. I will marry him, I am willing to marry Undeserved. " The woman sobbed.

After hearing the woman's words, Nangong Rang's face became even paler. He bit his lips and kept walking towards the middle-aged man, "I will give you the Inch Light, and you will let me take Xiao Jin and leave. I swear that I will never appear in front of you again. "

"With your current injuries, do you have the right to negotiate with me?" The middle-aged man didn't take Nangong Rang's threat seriously at all.

"What about the secret of the Inch Light?" Nangong Rang asked in a low voice.

"Secret?" The middle-aged man said in surprise, as if he hadn't expected something like this to happen.

"Yes, Chen Feng replied. This is a secret that only the previous head of the family would know" Nangong Lin looked at the middle-aged man and said.

Ye Xiaotian and Qu Liushang's expressions changed as well. It turned out that Nangong Jean knew the secret behind this secret, but was this secret related to the connection that Yaoguang had mentioned? This was something they didn't know about.

"Kid, the road I've walked on is even more complicated than the salt you've eaten, and you still want to lie to me?" It seemed like this middle-aged man had no idea about Inch Light's secret.

"Do I still need to lie to you today?" Nangong Rang's expression was indifferent, and no changes could be seen on his face.

After a moment of silence, the middle-aged man said, "Alright, but you have to give me the Inch Light first. "

Without any hesitation, Nangong Rang threw the Inch Light at the middle-aged man. When everyone was staring at the Inch Light that drew a line in the air, Yaoguang said, "Attack. "

With just one sound, the five men behind him immediately moved. With two rustling sounds, the five of them arrived at the lakeside, and the middle-aged man also took the buzz cut.

"Bright Moon Tavern!" When the middle-aged man saw the five of them dressed up, he couldn't help but shout.

"Haha, old thief Nangong really has a good memory. Hand over the Inch Light!" Yaoguang Zhong and Qu Liushang also showed up.

Nangong Rang glanced at them and saw Ye Xiaotian and Qu Liushang. He couldn't help but reveal a strange look in his eyes.

"Who are you?" The middle-aged man didn't recognize Yaoguang at all. This made Ye Xiaotian and Nangong Rang stunned. This was completely different from what Yaoguang had said.

"Hand over the Inch Ray first!" Yaoguang said with a cold smile.

"Keep dreaming!" The middle-aged man refused without hesitation. He was not afraid of the Bright Moon Tavern's power at all.

"Take the sword back. " Yaoguang said in a gloomy tone.

As soon as his voice faded, the five men from the Bright Moon Tavern immediately moved. Although their movement techniques weren't very profound, they had defeated all of the men brought by the middle-aged man. They had lost all their ability to fight.

However, just as they were about to attack the girl, Nangong Rang attacked. He had lost his sword, and at the cost of taking two palm strikes, he protected the girl in his arms. The five of them did not make things difficult for him.

The middle-aged man instantly drew out the inch of light in his hand. With a flash of the sword light, a chill suddenly rose. Every inch of cold light was filled with killing intent. In less than twenty moves, the five of them had died.

"What a sharp Inch Light Sword Technique. It feels somewhat authentic. " Yaoguang, who was in the middle, spoke with a hint of ridicule.

The middle-aged man also seemed to have been stabbed in the sore spot. He immediately flew into a rage out of humiliation and threw his sword at Yaoguang Zhong. However, Yaoguang Zhong's expression did not change, and he did not ask for help from Ye Xiaotian and the middle-aged man.
