"Above the King, the Sovereign."
Nangong Shi softly recited the words as well.
"City Lord Yue, has there ever been a record of a Martial Saint appearing in those books?" Nangong Shi asked after memorizing it silently.
"That is not true. According to the records, in order to become a Zhi Zun, one had to be a Level 10 [Elder], soul fight. Otherwise, it was impossible to break through the shackles of a King. As for the others, the books do not have any more information on them. " Yue Jinghong thought for a while and said.
"Grade ten Martial Saint?" After Nangong Shi heard this, he was immediately shocked. His soul fight was a Level 10 Supreme soul fight. Could it be that he could break through the shackles of the King and become a Sovereign Realm Spirit Master?! In Nangong Shi's heart, he was extremely anxious, his face also slightly flushed red.
"Dao Friend Nan Gong, what's wrong? "Could it be that you don't know this Grade 10 Martial Saint?" Yue Jinghong saw that Nangong Shi's expression was unsettled and immediately asked.
"Ah?" It's okay, I know, of course I know. I was just shocked. Oh right, Mayor Yue, what are your plans for what happens next? Could it be that we are truly prepared to head to some Illusory Star Hall to listen to their orders? " Hearing Yue Jinghong's question, Nangong Shi immediately regained his senses.
"Ai, I've just told you about the consequences of not going. Just before Fellow Daoist arrived, Yue Que and I were still discussing about this matter. I also passed the City Lord position to him. Sigh, I hope the humans and Spiritual Beast Tribes will not fight. This way, it will only take a few months for me to be able to return home peacefully. " Yue Jinghong sighed.
"I will do as you wish, City Lord Yue. Mayor Yue, since that's the case, I won't disturb you any longer. I still have a lot of things to do, so I'll head to the Falling Flower Palace first. " Nangong Shi saw that Yue Jinghong's mental state was a little unstable, and he was unable to reveal the identity of the Elder Mo, so he could only allow time to calm these distracting thoughts. After thinking about it, Nangong Shi stood up and said.
"Dao Friend Nan Gong, wait a moment." I also have a presumptuous request, and I hope that you can agree to me. so that I can go to Illusory Star Hall in peace. " Seeing that, a look of hesitation flashed across Yue Jinghong's face, but he quickly steeled his heart.
"Oh? Mayor Yue, please speak. As long as it's something that I, Nangong Shi, can accomplish, I will definitely not decline. " Hearing that, Nangong Shi stopped in his tracks.
"Dao Friend Nan Gong, in the few days that we've been in contact, I can tell that you are a hot-blooded man. Besides, you are someone worth trusting. So, I want to plead for you to do your best to protect my son Yue Que's life, so that my Yue Clan won't be cut off from the back if something really happens in the future. " After Yue Jinghong finished speaking, he glanced at Yue Que, and then took out a jade box from his storage ring, and gently caressed it.
"This is a cultivation technique passed down by our Yue Clan's ancestors. According to my grandfather, this technique is a divine ability. Unfortunately, in the past thousand years, not a single member of the clan had managed to successfully cultivate this technique. Therefore, even I don't know if this sacred art is real or fake. Originally, I wanted to give my Spirit Treasure to Fellow, but since Fellow already has a celestial fengfeng, I'm afraid that you don't want it either. This divine ability will be gifted to you, fellow daoist. I hope that fellow daoist will not decline. " With that said, Yue Jinghong handed over the jade box to Nangong Shi with both hands.
"Divine abilities?!" After Nangong Shi heard this, he was immediately shocked. How could the Yue Clan have a sacred art? Could it be that his ancestors also had people with great divine abilities?
"Mayor Yue, don't worry." If in the future when Shuangyang City is in trouble, I, Nangong Shi will definitely help. At the same time, I promise you, noble young master Yue Que, that I will definitely take care of him. Nothing will happen to him. This divine ability is indeed useful to me. If I really can comprehend the contents of it, then I will definitely pass it on to the descendants of your family in the future. " Nangong Shi glanced at Yue Que, and from Yue Que's calm face, he immediately understood that Yue Que had also comprehended this sacred art, but it should have been a failure. That's why it was passed to the future descendants of the Yue family.
"In that case, many thanks, Fellow Daoist!" After Yue Jinghong heard this, he immediately became excited. And from Nangong Shi's words, it once again proved that Yue Jinghong's choice was correct.
"Take this jade pendant. There is a trace of my will in this jade pendant. If I meet with any life-threatening danger, just crush this jade pendant and I will be able to sense it. " Nangong Shi solemnly received the jade box, and placed it into the storage ring. Then, he took out a jade pendant and gave it to Yue Que.
"Yue Que thanks senior." Seeing that, Yue Que immediately kept it.
"Many thanks, fellow daoist." Yue Jinghong cupped his hands towards Nangong Shi and thanked him.
"No worries." Speaking of which, I was the one who took advantage of you. Oh, so it's like this, Mayor Yue, this flag is called the Underworld Flag. It was a fake immortal equipment. It was indeed easy to deal with spirit beasts. Of course, it was also a good weapon against enemies. Take it. "Otherwise, I always feel a bit uncomfortable in my heart." Nangong Shi thought, then took out the Underworld Flag.
"What!?" False immortal equipment? "This …" When Yue Jinghong heard this, he immediately became hesitant.
"Rest in peace and accept it. Daddy has a lot of fake immortal equipment." Just as Yue Jinghong was hesitating, Nangong Chu suddenly spoke out. Hearing this, Nangong Shi immediately felt that this was a devilish brat.
"In that case, I will accept it. Dao Friend Nan Gong, thank you! " Hearing that, Yue Jinghong looked at Nangong Shi, and saw her smiling at him, and did not argue, taking a deep breath, he accepted the Underworld Flag with both hands.
"That's good. The anger in my heart also eased up quite a bit. Mayor Yue, farewell. " Nangong Shi saw that Yue Jinghong kept the Underworld Flag, and without even looking at it, he kept it into his storage ring, and started to think much more highly of Yue Jinghong.
"Dao Friend Nangong, take care." Yue Jinghong nodded, and cupped his hands.
"Senior, take care." Yue Que also stepped forward and cupped her hands.
"Take care." Nangong Shi nodded, pulled the two little fellows along, and disappeared on the spot.
"Father, do you think so highly of this Senior Nangong?" Fifteen minutes after Nangong Shi disappeared, Yue Jinghong was still standing at the entrance of the great hall without uttering a single word for a long while. After a long while, Yue Que finally asked softly.
"Child. I feel that this decision is the wisest choice I have made in my life. I'm afraid that in the near future, Fellow Daoist Nan Gong, I will have to call you Senior. " Yue Jinghong seemed to be talking to himself, but he seemed to be replying to himself. His eyes, was still looking in the direction Nangong Shi disappeared in.
What! After Yue Que heard this, she was immediately shocked. There was a trace of suspicion in her eyes. If even her father had to call him senior, wouldn't she have to break through to the peak of the king, or even the Martial Saint that he spoke of just now?
"I know, you might not be convinced. However, if I tell you, with this fellow Nan Gong's current strength, even if you do not use celestial fengfeng, I am afraid that you will not be able to defeat him in a hundred moves. As for the two little fellows beside him, they were most likely extraordinary as well. That gloomy atmosphere made me feel a little fearful. This Nangong Shi, will definitely not be someone to be trifled with in the future. " After Yue Jinghong finished, he slowly walked into the palace. Only Yue Que, who was still in a state of shock, remained standing in the great hall.
Was he really as good as his father had said? The back of Yue Que's father became confused for a moment.
