C2 The Four Family Slaves(part I)

The clear night sky was clear and the wind blew gently, and the shadows of the trees fluttered. Within the magnificent building of Nangong family, there were lanterns and colorful decorations. The voices of people were noisy, and from time to time, the sound of laughter and laughter could be heard. A big red wedding couplet was pasted at the entrance of the manor, and the remaining firecrackers seemed to be carrying out a great celebration.

That's right. Three days ago, the Nangong family had wiped out the Black Feather Palace and beheaded three thousand of them. Their name shook the entire Southern Wilderness. The Pride Villa, which represented the Nangong family, had replaced the Black Feather Palace and sat in the middle of the four major powers of the Southern Wilderness. How could this not be a great joyous event?

At this moment, there was a burst of laughter coming from within the courtyard. The servants carried wine and food to the guests, and they kept coming and going. Each of their faces was brimming with joy. In the room, the laughter and laughter became even louder. The sound of people guessing and punching was endless. Everything seemed to be extremely beautiful and harmonious.

However, in the stone house in the north corner of the manor, the young man who was sitting cross-legged and thin turned a deaf ear to the noise outside the house. He was still quietly wiping his long steel sword, which was made of broken steel. It seemed like all the honor and disgrace of the Nangong family had nothing to do with him. The only thing he cared about during the celebration was the broken sword in his hand.

Finally, he wiped away the last bit of blood on the tip of the sword. He put the sword back into its sheath and carefully hung it on his waist.

At this moment, three young men in special uniforms walked in steadily under the lead of the chief steward, Nangong Huan. The servant outside the door peeked inside with eyes full of envy and jealousy.

Nangong Huan took out a brocade scroll, cleared his throat, and read it solemnly, "On Lord's orders, I announce the order to you. The servant, Chiu Yufeng, had made a great contribution in the battle of Black Feather and met the requirements to advance. He is now promoted to a third rank general and is given a silk robe and a jade belt. He hereby decreed that the master of Nangong family, Nangong Feng, will be promoted. "

Nangong Huan handed the silk scroll to Chiu Yufeng and said, "Nephew, you have been promoted to a third rank general at such a young age. You will definitely have a bright future ahead of you! Quickly change into your brocade robe and attend the banquet in the main hall! It is a rare honor for you to be able to drink with the Patriarch at such a young age!"

Seeing that Chiu Yufeng did not receive the brocade robe after a long time, Nangong Huan was slightly stunned. He then realized, "Young people love to show off. I think he wants to wait for Lord to personally gift the robe to him at the banquet. He's still young! He's still young! " When he thought of this, he no longer forced himself. He waved his hand and said, "I still have some matters to attend to, so I won't accompany you. Prepare yourself and follow Yun Shang to the banquet! " Then, he beckoned a delicate and pretty girl over. After saying a few words, he led his subordinates away.

Yun Shang intimately held onto Chiu Yufeng's arm after seeing Nangong Huan walk away. She leaned her head against the arm that she thought was the sturdiest. This arm seemed to be warmer and more reliable than before. Yun Shang's heart was filled with longing for the happiness of the future. As the owner of the arm slowly walked out of the dilapidated stone room, it was the first time she didn't pay attention to it. "Lock the door!" Because Chiu Yufeng no longer needed this small stone room. What awaited him was a unique courtyard that matched the identity of the embroidered robed family. . . Perhaps. . . Yun Shang's heart was filled with sweetness and a hint of complacency. She held Chiu Yufeng's hand tighter, as if she was afraid that Chiu Yufeng would run away halfway.

Chiu Yufeng smiled bitterly in his heart, "A servant is born to be a servant who follows the master's orders! Even if I become a general, I will only be a servant wearing a brocade robe!"

There was a faint moan in his ear. Chiu Yufeng knew that it was his brother who had gone to war with him. It was just that they did not have the "luck" of themselves and could only drag their broken bodies. They lived at the lowest level of the Nangong family, until they gave up their last bit of strength for the Nangong family. Then, they were placed into a thin coffin and buried next to the graves of those Nangong disciples who had failed their tribulation. They used a wisp of their soul to continue serving those cold tombstones.

Yes, it was to serve those tombstones. Those who failed their tribulation were often killed in body and spirit. However, the rules of the Nangong family required the souls of their servants to serve those tombstones like they were serving a living master.

Chiu Yufeng could not help but let out a long sigh and said in a low voice, "Do I have to be a servant?"

"Of course not. . . " Yun Shang smiled excitedly and said, "You have become a general and the youngest family in the Nangong family. General! She might even become an elder in the future. It has been three hundred years since the Nangong family was promoted to an elder with another surname. . . If. . . Think about how powerful those elders are!"

" Elder. " Chiu Yufeng smiled and said, "Perhaps, the patriarch has never thought of advancing to a family elder with another surname. . . "

"Shh!" Yun Shang, whose face had turned pale, covered Chiu Yufeng's mouth and scolded him in a low voice. "How can you say something like that? You just became a general. Don't ruin your future just because you don't know what to say. "

Chiu Yufeng gently pushed Yun Shang's hand away and walked forward without saying a word. However, the word "slave" was still in his mind.

Thousands of years ago, the first patriarch of the Nangong family led his "Qin, Chu, Qiu, and Lu brothers to conquer the Nangong family. Five thatched huts were built in the mud of the barren mountains, which was the first Manor of disdain. At that time, it was also called the Five Tiger Manor. Until the Five Tiger Villa dominated the southern territory. The five thatched huts were still standing at the center of the Five Tiger Manor. They symbolized the hardships of the five brothers starting from scratch, and they also bore witness to their friendship that was as firm as gold and stone.

The descendants of the five brothers had become sworn brothers in their mothers' womb before they were even born. However, every generation of descendants had the Nangong family as their elder brother. Gradually, the descendants of the four families began to follow the Nangong family's lead. Without any regrets, they used their flesh and blood to establish the foundation of the Nangong family. However, no one knew from which generation it started, and for what reason. The four brothers became the four elders of the Nangong family, as well as their family members. Their properties were merged into the Nangong family, and the Five Tiger Manor was officially renamed as the Prominent Villa. The master of the manor would always be the Nangong family. The status of the fourth brother's descendants also started to be demoted from elders to officials, generals, soldiers, and servants.

The descendants of Qin, Chu, Qiu, and Lu were servants from the day they were born. They then desperately practiced, cultivated, and accumulated merit points in order to advance. However, ever since the 22nd family head, Nangong Feng, succeeded the family head position, there had never been a family elder with another surname in the Nangong family.

Chiu Yufeng did not have any extravagant hopes of becoming a family head or family head. In his eyes, these titles were just another form of address for family servants.

No one in the Nangong family knew what he was thinking, and no one knew the question that had been buried deep in his heart.

If this question was confirmed, then would the empire of the Nangong family collapse overnight? Or would his body and soul be destroyed in order to protect the secrets of Nangong family? Chiu Yufeng didn't dare to take the risk, but because of this question, he left the Nangong family. That's the best choice! Could he bet?

Chiu Yufeng looked at Yun Shang with a complicated expression. In the end, he still raised his head and walked into the hall.

Nangong Feng sat in the main hall with his head held high, and his face was filled with joy. He kept glancing at the people who were drinking with him. "A mere third-class general's reward is enough to make a normal person who doesn't know how to laugh or cry happy and happy, and it will be the most glorious thing in this life. " What he needed was this kind of gratitude and gratitude for a small favor. A general who had no regrets even if he died a hundred times.

Nangong Feng raised his wine glass and took a sip. A pair of sharp eyes as sharp as lightning and fire looked kindly at his eldest son, Nangong Shengtian, who was beside him.

It was obvious that Nangong Shengtian had inherited the true skills of his father. He stood up at the right time, raised his glass, and left the table. He did not raise his glass to thank his family, who had fought hard in the battle of Black Feather. He also raised his glass to express his gratitude to his son and nephew, who had died in battle. He had won the praise of everyone, and he was inexplicably grateful. His position as the eldest son of the family was also soaring in everyone's hearts.

Nangong Shengtian was in the midst of his success when he called out to Nangong Shengtian. Third class family general Chiu Yufeng is here to meet the family head!" Third class family general Chiu Yufeng is here to meet the family head!" This attracted everyone's attention to the main door. A few of the family generals who were toasting him turned their heads around as well. Nangong Shengtian's empty glass was lifted up in the air, and no one paid any attention to it.

Nangong Shengtian, who felt that his face had been thinned, snorted in a low voice, and killing intent secretly rose in his eyes.

Chiu Yufeng strode into the hall. After greeting the Nangong family members one by one, he lowered his hands and stood in the middle of the hall.

"Good. . . Good. . . Good. . . Nangong Feng continuously said the word 'good' and said, "You are indeed a young man who has been a hero since ancient times. When I was your age, I had never achieved something like this. Come and sit beside me. "

" Wait! "

Sitting beside Nangong Feng, His beloved daughter, Nangong Lan, said in a pampered manner: "Dad, the person who can sit beside you is either a young and virtuous family elder, or a family general with outstanding military achievements. You haven't even said what kind of contribution Chiu Yufeng has received, and you want him to sit beside you? This isn't good, right?"

"Dad, you are really old and muddle-headed. " How could Nangong Feng not know that his beloved daughter wasn't willing to sit with her slaves? However, he could not take back his words, so he could only continue, "This Chiu Yufeng was killed by the general of the vanguard unit. He carried the flag of the Nangong family and led the remaining disciples of the vanguard unit. He broke through four passes in a row at lightning speed and attacked the main altar of the Black Feather Palace. The seven protectors of the main altar broke through the incomplete Black Feather Pure Heaven Formation. This was their first contribution in this battle. The most rare thing was that Yufeng wasn't even twenty years old yet! Alas, it was a pity that there were a thousand disciples of the vanguard unit. Only Yufeng survived. Otherwise, how many young disciples would be able to drink with me today!"

The family's Prime Minister Qin did not give up on the opportunity and stood out. He bowed and said," Lord, don't be sad. It's true that Nangong family has lost many disciples. However, Lord, can't you see that my Nangong Battle Flag has become even more beautiful because of the blood of my disciples? Can't you see that the disciples of the Nangong family are even more proud now? Have you also put in more effort in your training? For the glory of the Nangong family. . . All sacrifices are worth it. My brothers will never forget that we are a part of the Nangong family. Sacrificing ourselves for the Nangong family is our glory. "

"Alright! Well said!" Nangong Feng said: "Come, Yufeng, you represent the thousands of disciples who died in battle and sit beside me?"

Chiu Yufeng replied without moving, "Yufeng wouldn't dare!"

Nangong Feng smiled kindly and said, "Yufeng! There is no need to admonish me. Come, come, sit beside me. "

Chiu Yufeng replied neither servile nor overbearing, "Yufeng is just a servant, and he doesn't dare to sit with Lord. "

"I let you sit. Why are you so awkward?" Nangong Lan said angrily, "The name is awkward, and the person is even more awkward. Who gave Chiu Yufeng such a roundabout name?"

Nangong Huan, who was serving her, chuckled and said, "This name was given by the Eldest Young Master. " When he saw that Nangong Shengtian wasn't angry, he continued, "At that time, The Chou family, the Lu family, all had sons. They promised to ask Lord for a name. Coincidentally, the old master was making a pair of children, and he was muttering something. . . Oh! The rain was against the wind, and the continent was against Changkong. The eldest young master, who was serving by the side, said casually. I'll just call him 'Chiu Yufeng'. "

Nangong Feng laughed out loud. "Right, right, there's something like that. It seems like there's a child named Lu Changkong. "

"Then I'll take advantage of my brother's lousy pair of children and bring Lu Changkong here as well!" Nangong Lan smiled and said: "Luckily, dad was right. If they were reading the Three Character Classic, they would have been named Lu Zhichu. "

"Don't mess around!" Nangong Feng laughed and scolded him. "Today is the Zhuang family's celebration, let's find Lu Changkong as well!"

"Yufeng! Since you feel that sitting beside me is too restrained, I won't force you! However, if you want any rewards, just tell me. I will definitely agree! "

" Is Lord serious? " Chiu Yufeng suddenly raised his head and looked straight at Nangong Feng. He asked with a tone as if he wanted to give him an army.

"I am not joking!"

As the two of them asked and answered, everyone's expressions changed. When Chiu Yufeng raised his head, his eyes seemed to be looking straight at Nangong Lan. It made Nangong Lan's face turn red in anger, and she thought to herself, "Chiu Yufeng, if you dare to propose 'marry me', I will definitely humiliate you in front of everyone!"

Nangong Shengtian also secretly scolded Chiu Yufeng for being 'reckless'. He winked at the guards behind him, signaling them to take the opportunity to drag him out.

Yun Shang was so scared that her face turned pale. She was anxious and angry at the same time.

Half of her hatred for Chiu Yufeng had been awakened. She looked at her nephew in a daze.

Chiu Yufeng's next words made everyone feel dizzy. "Ask Lord to remove my identity as a servant!"

Nangong Feng's expression changed, and then he smiled. "You must be so happy that you are confused! You are no longer a slave, but a third class general. "

"No!" Chiu Yufeng said word by word, "Lord, please remove my title as a servant and let me leave Nangong family!"

"What did you say?!" Chou Bufu roared and rushed over to slap Chiu Yufeng more than a dozen times. He slapped Chiu Yufeng until his cheeks were red and swollen. Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth before he knelt down and kowtowed. "This child drank too much and spoke nonsense. Lord, please punish him. "

Chiu Yufeng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "I did not drink any wine tonight, and I am not talking nonsense. Ask Lord to get rid of my status as a slave and let me leave Nangong family. "

"En!" Nangong Feng stroked his beard and said, "I can understand why a young genius like Yufeng would want to leave the Nangong family and have a bright future. However, the rule of living as a slave and dying as a slave was set by the ancestors of the four families. If you want to leave the Nangong family, you have to follow the rules! "

When he said" follow the rules, "his heart sank. The so-called rules were that Chiu Yufeng would either choose the mountain path in front of the main gate and receive the 3,600 sword strikes from the experts of the five families and leave the Nangong family, or his tendons would be broken and his cultivation technique would be broken. He would forever stay in the Nangong family as a servant.

This was the rule of the four families. They would never betray the Nangong family's rule.

The most difficult thing in the world was not life or death, but to make a choice between life and death. They were waiting to see how Chiu Yufeng would make such a painful choice, and how desperate the Nangong siblings were. However, they saw him smile faintly, then he raised his head and said with a smile, "The rule of severing kindness with a thousand swords. . . Yufeng naturally understood, but. . . I don't understand. In the past, the five families created the Golden Orchid Mountain Manor together to look down on us. What kind of kindness did the Nangong family have to their ancestors that made them willing to make an oath? They have been slaves for generations? I don't understand what kind of debt the four ancestors owe them. They want their descendants to suffer a thousand sword strikes in order to pay it back? Senior Nangong, please tell me directly!"

" How dare you! " Qin Buqi angrily rebuked, "You treacherous slave, quickly cripple your own cultivation and kneel down to beg for forgiveness! Or else, the rules of the Four Families will put you in a dilemma of life and death! "

"What a good dog!" Chiu Yufeng said sarcastically, "Do you think that sitting in the Prime Minister position will bring honor to your ancestors? To tell you the truth, if it wasn't for the Feng Family General today, I wouldn't have risked my life to force my way out of the Nangong family! I don't want to be trapped by the Seven Slaughter Soul Grinder when I put on the brocade robe of the family general. "

Nangong Feng was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly. "I admire your imagination. I've never heard of the Seven Murders Soul-Grinding Rope, but you actually fabricated it out of thin air!"

Qin Buqi was also stunned for a moment, then he became furious and said, "You bastard, how dare you slander Lord, slander the Nangong family, and cut you into a thousand pieces?! You deserve to die!"

Nangong Shengtian snorted coldly and said, "Take him down!"

Chiu Yufeng had changed from calling himself Yufeng to calling himself 'Chou', from calling himself Lord, and from calling himself Senior Nangong. He was determined to rebel against the Nangong family. How could he not be prepared for this?

Before Nangong Shengtian could finish his shout, Chiu Yufeng's broken sword was the first to strike. The sword beam didn't even hit the silver-armored guards of the Nangong family. Instead, it slid out from under Chiu Yufeng's armpit at a strange angle and went straight through his spine into the air. Suddenly, with a sharp whistle, it exploded into tens of thousands of silver snakes, shooting across the sky. Some of them were in front, while others were behind. They were nailed to the ground around the many experts.

Many experts in the hall suddenly felt their bodies tremble. Their feet, which had just been pulled, were pulled back to their original position by a strange force.

"Remnant Soul Sword - Shadow Stabilizing Art!" Nan Gongfeng exclaimed as his killing intent rose. He no longer cared about his identity as the head of the Nangong family. He leapt up from the chair and charged toward Chiu Yufeng, who was retreating. The sword Qi around him was faint, and the killing intent of one of the Nangong family's four flying swords was obvious.

Chiu Yufeng's feet did not slow down, but he said, "The words of the past are filled with hatred, but what can we do about the soul of the mountain?"

Nangong Feng suddenly shook, and he was slightly slower than before. His fingertip had clearly touched the corner of Chiu Yufeng's clothes, but it allowed him to escape another thirty feet away in the nick of time.

Just as he was about to give chase, he saw Chiu Yufeng's left hand resting on the shoulder of a young man who was still confused, and his right hand suddenly opened up. Five strange red-scaled pythons roared out from his fingertips. They charged straight towards Nangong Cover's door.

In a hurry, Nangong Feng took five steps back. Coincidentally, he used the 'moving mountains and filling seas' technique to move a dozen or so family generals in front of him. Nangong Feng had escaped death, but the Blood Scaled Python had pierced through the bodies of the five family generals. It had even ripped their souls out of their bodies. The bloody python had bitten the head of the general's soul and coiled itself around the corpse. Slowly, it opened its jaw and swallowed the souls inch by inch. Pcht. . . Pcht. . . Pcht. . . Pcht. . . Pcht. . . Pcht. . . Pcht. . . Pcht. . .

"What a monster!" Nan Gongfeng roared furiously, and his killing intent rose abruptly. Under the stimulation of his killing intent, his killing sword's power soared wildly, and the awe-inspiring sword qi transformed into iron spears and iron horses, crushing the Blood Scaled Python and the five corpses into pieces.

Nangong Feng released his sword energy for a single breath. He shouted in a cold voice: "Chase! I don't care whether I live or die! " The generals and the silver-armored guards chased after him.

Nangong Feng was the only one left in the hall, and all the elders were busy cleaning up the mess.

As for Chiu Yufeng, he carried a young man and flew a hundred miles away on his sword before throwing him onto the mountain. He then drew his sword and slapped it towards the young man's face.

The young man suddenly felt a cold sensation on his face. He fiercely hit Ling Er and shouted, "Brother Yufeng, you don't want to kill me, do you?"
