Several centurions also landed one after another, leading troops to block this unexpected group, as if facing a formidable enemy.
After all, the innate aura emanating from the opposing party was powerful, truly difficult to ignore, and there were over twenty of them!
Just as these centurions were contemplating whether to directly release the intruder’s signal flare, one among the group didn’t waste words and directly took out a token.
It was engraved with nurous patterns, centered with a large "ng" character.
The soldiers were startled and imdiately lowered their weapons.
They all recognized that it was the ng Family’s identity token, and indeed this group’s attire confird they were from a noble family.
"Where is Banner Master Yang?" The elderly man holding the token spoke.
His voice wasn’t loud, but it spread as sound waves, easily reaching throughout the City Lord’s Mansion and beyond.
A few seconds later, Yang Zhen, Song Changming, Xing Tiexin, and others landed in the courtyard.
"Greetings, Senior ng Yuan." Yang Zhen’s gaze fell upon the leader, his expression changed slightly, and he clasped his hands in respect.
From Yang Zhen’s change in deanor, Song Changming could see that the leader in front of them held a high position in the ng Family.
Wearing a jade crown, his face had a few wrinkles, but not as old-looking as Zhao Liang.
"How did my family’s younger mber die? Explain it clearly to !" ng Yuan spoke without expression, yet his voice carried emotion.
Clearly, his heart was not as calm as his face suggested.
Song Changming soon understood that the leading person from the ng Family was actually ng Jianli’s elder brother.
The innate Qi aura emanating from him was overwhelming, filled with a powerful presence.
Song Changming felt it deeply; ng Jianli’s brother was indeed a top-level expert, having unlocked nine martial veins and reached the Innate Perfection Realm!
Yang Zhen explained the events before and after ng Jianli was assassinated by the disguised Flower Raccoon Demon but temporarily refrained from revealing Zhao Zun and Zhao Liang’s involvent.
ng Yuan listened in silence, his aura beca sowhat unstable.
Along with it, the surrounding energy beca chaotic, flowers and plants in the courtyard flew around, the paving tiles cracked, and pebbles hovered a ter above the ground due to the energy field disturbance.
The other arriving ng Clan mbers exchanged glances, remaining silent, not wanting to provoke misfortune at this mont.
"Uncle." ng Shuxuan suddenly arrived.
ng Yuan’s aura stabilized, and the chaotic energy around him dissipated.
"Xuan’Er." ng Yuan’s face showed a hint of sorrow, he sighed.
"Uncle arrived late."
ng Shuxuan pursed her lips and simply said, "Uncle, mother is waiting for you."
"Alright, take to her." ng Yuan nodded.
As they watched the group leave, Song Changming withdrew his gaze.
"It’s okay; at least he didn’t take out his anger on us. He’s not a tyrannical person." Xing Tiexin said softly beside him.
"This ng Yuan is not simple. In the main family of the ngs, he likely has considerable influence. Perhaps we can work through him." Yang Zhen suggested.
He didn’t know ng Jianli, but he was aware of who ng Yuan was.
In a chamber, ng Yuan looked at ng Jianli’s body in the coffin, clenching his fists tightly.
"Brother..."
"Xuan’Er, is everything you said true?"
In the hall, ng Shuxuan stood behind ng Yuan, her eyes cold.
"Personally witnessed, the Zhao Family colluded with the Demon Race."
"I understand." ng Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.
Outside the room.
Song Changming walked into the hall at this mont, drawing the attention of many ng Clan mbers present.
"Senior ng Yuan, before the City Lord left, he entrusted a letter to bring back to the ng Family and personally hand it to you."
Song Changming directly stated his purpose and handed over the letter ng Jianli had given him.
ng Jianli was undoubtedly a ticulous person.
He had long been worried about the possibility of encountering mishaps, hence always kept such a letter ready, explaining many posthumous matters.
ng Jianli didn’t specify who to hand it to before his death, but at this mont Song Changming felt that giving it to the person before him was a good choice.
This letter changed the way many ng Clan mbers looked at Song Changming.
After all, ng Jianli was willing to entrust the letter to Song Changming before dying, which sufficiently showed Song Changming was at least soone ng Jianli trusted during his life.
ng Yuan took the envelope, opened it to read.
The letter consisted of several pages, it was evident ng Jianli indeed explained many matters.
After reading the letter, ng Yuan was quite moved, and after a long while, he finally sighed and looked at Song Changming.
"Thank you."
"My condolences." Song Changming shook his head and said.
"You are the General Song that Xuan’Er ntioned, would you mind stepping aside for a word?" ng Yuan then said suddenly.
"Alright." Song Changming agreed, thinking the person already knew about Zhao Zun and Zhao Liang.
The two left the hall, arriving at a secluded small courtyard.
"You killed Zhao Zun and Zhao Liang, and you should know, the Zhao Family won’t spare you." ng Yuan spoke directly, without preamble.
"Whether I kill them or not, it’s the sa." Song Changming stood two steps behind ng Yuan, saying so.
"Indeed, you have no retreat; certainly, you must stand against the Zhao Family." ng Yuan nodded.
Song Changming said nothing more; he could tell this noble family expert in front of him was not one for beating around the bush, so he simply waited for ng Yuan to continue.
He knew that was the key to what would be discussed.
It depended on the other’s attitude regarding this matter.
"I can help you." ng Yuan turned around, facing Song Changming, indeed not beating around the bush.
"Even make the ng Family side with you on this matter, but there’s a precondition."
"Please, go ahead, senior."
"Xuan’Er said you single-handedly cut down that old Zhao Liang; honestly, without seeing it myself, I wouldn’t quite believe it. If you can withstand one sword from , then I’ll be persuaded." ng Yuan said.
