You Don't Believe Me! Nangong Wenqing Loses His Cool

"Clan Leader Nangong, this matter is of utmost importance. Can that powerful senior truly stand against the King Zhennan's lineage?"

"Yes! Isn't this too hasty? Shouldn't we take a longer view?"

"That's right, the lineage of the King Zhennan has an extremely profound foundation. It is rumored that his Great Ancestor was one of the beings closest to Gods. That senior was really that powerful!"

Hearing that Nangong Wenqing intended to join forces with that senior to take down the King Zhennan in one fell swoop, the various clan Clan Leader from Jiangnan in the side hall were truly terrified.

This matter is of utmost importance. If they are not careful, the centuries-old foundation of the Jiangnan Aristocratic Families could vanish in an instant. They have no choice but to be cautious.

While it's certainly good news to have that senior figure brought to His Majesty's side, the strength that senior figure displayed yesterday is not enough to give them complete confidence in eliminating the King Zhennan's lineage.

According to their plan, after winning over that senior, their bargaining power would be greatly enhanced, and then His Majesty would be able to shed his puppet status.

Freed from the control of the King Zhennan's lineage, they will have ample time to develop their power. With the foundation of their Jiangnan Aristocratic Families, their influence will expand rapidly.

They have no shortage of resources; the major Aristocratic Clan of Jiangnan have accumulated countless resources over the centuries. What they lack is time—time to transform these resources into strength.

In the past, the King Zhennan's lineage would never have given them so much time, but now, by bringing that senior over, they have bought them ample time.

If they develop for ten or eight years, they will not only be able to completely contend with the King Zhennan's lineage, but if they develop well, it is not impossible for them to even kill the King Zhennan's lineage.

But Nangong Wenqing's words just now shattered their beautiful dream! Seven days is still too short a time. With the current strength of their Jiangnan Aristocratic Families, they are far from being a match for the King Zhennan's lineage. Does that senior have to deal with the entire King Zhennan's lineage all by himself?

"Clan Leader Nangong, in seven days! You don't actually believe that this senior can suppress the King Zhennan's lineage all by himself, do you? Is that senior really that powerful?!"

The Clan Leader of Jiangnan Aristocratic Families couldn't help but voice his doubts.

"That's right, this senior's strength is unfathomable. I believe that he alone is enough to suppress the King Zhennan's lineage."

Nangong Wenqing's eyes were filled with fervor, and his tone carried a hint of certainty. Thinking of that scene at the Hanlin Academy, his whole body trembled slightly with excitement.

Seeing Nangong Wenqing's unwavering certainty, the Clan Leader of the various Jiangnan Aristocratic Families present couldn't help but gasp, their eyes filled with shock.

The major Aristocratic Clan in Jiangnan have long been intermarried and have become an inseparable community. These Clan Leader Nangong Wenqing known Nangong Wenqing since childhood and are familiar with his temperament.

Since Nangong Wenqing wouldn't speak carelessly about matters concerning the rise and fall of the Lineage, and since he was so certain, there must be a reason.

Unable to contain his curiosity, Ximen Clan Leader voiced the concerns of the other clan Clan Leader present. "Brother Nangong, the King Zhennan's lineage has been passed down for a thousand years, its foundation is unfathomable. Just looking at those who have reached the 'Dao Attainment' realm, there are already two of them."

"Although that senior's strength yesterday was unfathomable, perhaps unmatched by anyone in the entire King Zhennan's lineage, why are you so certain that he could suppress the King Zhennan's lineage single-handedly?"

"Ha ha ha ha!!!!"

Nangong Wenqing couldn't help but laugh loudly. After laughing for a while, he began to tell the clan Clan Leader of the Jiangnan Aristocratic Families aristocratic families what he had seen and heard that day.

"Gentlemen, you may not know this, but today I went to the Hanlin Academy to persuade that senior, who revealed a trace of his aura to me."

"You don't know this, but just that wisp of aura it emitted actually brought me back to the Ghost Gate."

Nangong Wenqing's words made the Ximen Clan Leader frown, his eyes filled with disbelief. Although Nangong Wenqing had only been at the Peak of Humanity for a little over half a month, his words were still fresh in his mind.

But half a month ago, he obtained a great fortuitous opportunity in Blessed Land, in fortuitous opportunity his old friend's strength underwent a qualitative leap.

Even though he only reached the Peak of Humanity for a short half-month, it was in no way inferior to those who had been immersed in the Peak of Humanity decades in the 'Dao Enlightenment' realm.

With just a wisp of aura, Nangong Wenqing was nearly killed. How could that be possible? Even the God of Heaven and Earth might not be able to do that.

"Impossible, Brother Nangong! This person's strength is actually this great! Even Gods resurrected might not be able to do this!"

Thinking of what happened at the Hanlin Academy this morning, a hint of relief flashed in Nangong Wenqing's eyes. Hearing the disbelief in the words of the Ximen Clan Leader, she said with a touch of self-deprecation.

"What I said just now was merely to pat myself on the back. If that senior hadn't refrained from killing me, a single wisp of his aura would have been enough to kill me on the spot in the Hanlin Academy."

"Gentlemen, what was revealed yesterday was merely the tip of the iceberg of that senior's strength. That senior's strength far exceeds your imagination."

Seeing the disbelief in the eyes of the Clan Leader of the Jiangnan Aristocratic Families in the side hall, Nangong Wenqing was not angry. He exhaled a heavy breath and Nangong Wenqing solemnly.

"Gentlemen, you have not truly witnessed that senior's true strength. It is only natural that you do not believe it. Not to mention you, even I feel as if I am dreaming."

"But everyone, you all know what kind of person I am. Over the years, as the head of a Jiangnan Aristocratic Families, I have traveled far and wide for the sake of the Jiangnan Aristocratic Families, yet my hair has already turned gray in middle age."

"On such a matter concerning the life and death of all ethnic groups in Jiangnan, how dare I utter such wild words!"

Seeing that the eyes of the various Clan Leader of the Jiangnan Aristocratic Families in the side hall still showed a trace of disbelief, Nangong Wenqing became a little anxious and cursed.

"You fools! Ever since I became the head of the Jiangnan Aristocratic Families, they have flourished under my Jiangnan Aristocratic Families. How could your vision possibly compare to mine!"

"Moreover, the Nangong Aristocratic Clan, to which I belong, shares the same fate as all your clans, rising and falling together. If I were not absolutely certain, I would disregard the safety of the Nangong Aristocratic Clan!"

Seeing Nangong Wenqing's loss of composure, the doubts in the eyes of the various Clan Leader of the Jiangnan Aristocratic Families in the side hall slowly dissipated, and they hurriedly smiled apologetically.

"Brother Nangong, it's not that we don't believe you, but what you just said is truly shocking. How can we possibly believe it!"

"That's right, Brother Nangong, you really can't blame us this time. Even the most outstanding young talents recorded in Ancient Texts might not have such strength among the Peak of Humanity!"

"Brother Nangong is right. We share the same fate, and we suffer together. We were just too naive."

Seeing the Clan Leader of the Jiangnan Aristocratic Families present apologizing with smiles, Nangong Wenqing didn't dwell on it and instead began to discuss specific strategies with them.
