Chapter 279: Confrontation, Falling Out

"Then what about my mother's Immortal body?"

Despite the immense grief in her heart, Nangong Wan quickly spoke, looking at Nangong Jun with a cold expression.

The only connection she had with the Nangong Family was her mother; if her mother was no longer there, then there was no need for her to remain in the Nangong Family.

Hearing Nangong Wan's words, Nangong Jun's expression changed slightly, but it was fleeting; apart from Wu Li, no one noticed.

After a long while, Nangong Jun sighed and said slowly.

"Wan'er, you should know that after we Immortals die, we return to the Heavens and Earth. After Yuehua fell, her Immortal body automatically turned to ashes and dissipated."

"Bullshit! Where is my mother's Immortal body! I want to see my mother's Immortal body!"

Even if Nangong Wan was unwilling to admit the facts now, she could tell from Nangong Jun's behavior that there was definitely something suspicious about her mother's death.

Unfortunately, Nangong Jun would never let Nangong Wan see her mother's Immortal body, so he snorted coldly and said.

"Be obedient, Wan'er. Your mother wouldn't want you to become so degenerate after learning of her death."

"Furthermore, your mother had already chosen a marriage for you before she passed away. The other party is the Saint of Tian En Mountain. Marrying him to become a concubine is definitely not a grievance to you."

Hearing Nangong Jun's latter words, how could Nangong Wan not know that the reason she had returned to the Nangong Family was simply because of his deception?

Thinking of this, Nangong Wan's gaze toward Nangong Jun was icy, and the anger in her tone was difficult to suppress.

"My mother would absolutely never interfere with my marriage. Where, exactly, is my mother!"

Having said that, Nangong Wan prepared to make a move, while Wu Li, who was beside her, subconsciously took a step forward, and the Golden Thunder Flying Sword Array within his Storage Ring was already stirring.

Just as Nangong Wan was preparing to attack, Nangong Jun finally noticed Nangong Wan's cultivation, and his expression couldn't help but change.

"Your cultivation… you actually broke through to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage?"

One must know that Nangong Wan was only ten thousand years old, yet she had broken through to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage. It was precisely because he knew back then that Nangong Wan's talent wasn't strong—much like her mother's—that Nangong Jun hadn't paid much attention to her.

But if Nangong Wan had broken through to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage at only ten thousand years old, then he would need to reevaluate his assessment of her.

"Hmph, thanks to you, I didn't die outside and was lucky enough to break through to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage."

Nangong Wan looked at Nangong Jun, her eyes not looking at her father, but rather like she was looking at an enemy.

"I will say it again: where is my mother?"

"I will also say it again: your mother fell in battle against a Red Dust Immortal Yao Beast and has now returned to the Heavens and Earth. As for the marriage contract between you and the Tu Fu Holy Son, I will naturally reconsider it."

Nangong Jun looked at Nangong Wan, not angry because of her tone. After all, in Nangong Jun's view, it was normal for a Prodigy to have a temper; only trash did not deserve to have a temper.

"It seems you have no intention of telling me. Since that is the case, starting from today, I, Nangong Wan, sever all ties with the Nangong Family. From now on, my name is, Qin Wan!"

Nangong Wan's mother had the surname Qin, so after her mother's death, Nangong Wan intended to leave the Nangong Family and draw a clear line between herself and them.

Having said this, Qin Wan intended to take Wu Li and leave immediately, but how could Nangong Jun let Qin Wan leave the Nangong Family now?

"Hmph, does my Nangong Family exist for you to come and go as you please? You are a member of my Nangong Family; you are a person of my Nangong Family in life, and a person of my Nangong Family in death. Furthermore, my Nangong Family has raised you for so many years, it is time for you to make a contribution to my Nangong Family!"

As Nangong Jun gave the order, the next second both of them were pulled directly into his Internal World.

He had changed his mind now. If Qin Wan was willing to remain as a member of the Nangong Family, he wouldn't mind cultivating her carefully; after all, even the Tu Fu Holy Son had only reached the Immortal King Early Stage at thirty thousand years old.

If he cultivated her with focus, her achievements would likely surpass those of the Tu Fu Holy Son. He would naturally not give such a good seedling to Tian En Mountain.

But if Qin Wan remained obstinate and stubborn, wanting to leave the Nangong Family, he would not hesitate to kill her; he would not leave a hidden danger for the Nangong Family.

As for the marriage alliance, he could just choose another descendant. He had plenty of concubines, and for offspring, he could just find one with average talent.

The moment they were pulled into the Internal World by Nangong Jun, Wu Li and Qin Wan prepared for battle. Judging by the situation today, it seemed this battle was unavoidable.

"You only have two choices now: take the Heavenly Dao Oath to continue living as a member of my Nangong Family, or die here!"

Nangong Jun looked at Qin Wan, his expression and tone both incredibly flat, as if the person standing before him was not his daughter.

Upon hearing Nangong Jun's words, Qin Wan's heart sank uncontrollably. She turned to look at Wu Li and said slowly.

"Wu Li, can you take me away from here?"

"If this is your choice, then I will take you away from here."

Looking at Qin Wan's incredibly eager eyes, Wu Li did not hesitate and spoke directly.

But Qin Wan's answer had long been determined in her heart, so after hearing her state that this was indeed her choice.

Wu Li turned to look at Nangong Jun and said indifferently.

"Let us go, otherwise I don't mind making a move to cripple you."

"Hahaha, Wan'er, I am very curious, what is your judgment in making friends? A mere Great Luo Golden Immortal Initial Stage Cultivator, where did you get the guts to be so arrogant in front of me? This Venerable is at the Immortal Venerable Peak; killing you thousands of times over with a single thought would be incredibly easy!"

After hearing Wu Li's words, Nangong Jun thought Wu Li was overestimating himself and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

But Wu Li did not care about Nangong Jun's words. After turning and receiving Qin Wan's permission, Wu Li made his move.

The next second, Wu Li waved his hand, and in an instant, eighteen thousand seventh-grade Golden Thunder Flying Swords flew out from his Storage Ring in a rhythmic pattern. The scene was incredibly extravagant for a moment, and even Nangong Jun couldn't help but be moved upon seeing this, his originally calm face shifting.

"How is this possible? Eighteen thousand seventh-grade Immortal Venerable Artifacts—how could you possibly possess so many Immortal Venerable Artifacts? And with your Mental Energy, how could you possibly control so many Immortal Venerable Artifacts?"

The look in Nangong Jun's eyes toward Wu Li was no longer the contempt from before, but had become incredibly grave.

At this moment, in his heart, Wu Li was no longer an unknown Cultivator. Judging from the current situation, Wu Li's background was likely extraordinary.
