Nan Linyuan's gaze swept across the crowd. His expression didn't have much of a ripple as he said, "Today's banquet will end here. If you still have anything else, you can take your leave."
The gazes of the crowd all froze when they heard this. How could they not understand the meaning behind his words?
However, today, the Nanhua Empire was truly disgraced. With such a proud character like the Holy Emperor, he naturally didn't have the heart to deal with others.
"Indeed, there are some matters that need to be taken care of. Then, I won't bother you any longer. Take care, Saint Lord." A figure stood up and cupped his hands towards Nan Lin Yuan. His tone was extremely courteous.
The power that this person belonged to had a very friendly relationship with the Southern Flower Kingdom. He had actually wanted to leave a long time ago, but he was afraid that it might cause discontent with Southern Lin Yuan.
"Right." Lin Yuan looked at that person and nodded.
After that person, there were a few other powers that bid farewell to Lin Yuan in the south, including the Royal Sky Casino where Xia He was at. Although what happened today had nothing to do with the gambling house, as the person in charge of the battle, he couldn't stay any longer and didn't want to make Lin Yuan unhappy.
"We should leave too." After which, he stood up and clasped his hands towards Lin Yuan's direction, "Lord Saint, we'll take our leave as well."
He had some impression of these two. One was from the Duan Clan and the other was from the Gongsun Clan. Both of them had the most outstanding talent in their respective forces, and were ranked at the top of the Heavenly Ranking.
"Since you're here, why don't you stay for a while and let Nan Yin entertain you." Holy Emperor Nanhua actually wanted to keep them here. Was he trying to use this opportunity to build a relationship with the Duan Clan and Gongsun Clan?
A smile appeared on his face as he said, "Saint, you don't know. We have traveled together, but we heard that Nan Yin is getting married today, so we came here to take a look. Now that the marriage is over, we will continue our journey."
However, his face remained calm, causing others to be unable to see through his thoughts. He only casually nodded his head, "That's fine. It's not bad for young people to go out for a walk. They can broaden their horizons and gain insights beyond cultivation."
"The Holy Lord is right." Gongsun Lu nodded with a smile, appearing extremely humble. At this moment, Duan Chengtian also stood up and bowed towards Southern Lin Yuan before the two of them walked out, preparing to leave this place.
"Brother Duan, please wait." A voice suddenly rang out. It was Nan Yin.
Duan Chengtian was stunned. He turned around only to see Nan Yin's figure flashing before him. He clasped his hands together and asked, "Brother Duan, what do you plan to do next?"
"Plans?" Duan Ling Tian revealed a trace of bewilderment, as he didn't know what Nan Yin was referring to.
"With Brother Duan's current cultivation, no one of the same generation in the Asura Hell is able to defeat Brother Duan. Even though there are many Dao Burial Grounds here, most of them have limitations. I'm afraid the short-term increase in strength isn't that great. Do you want to consider going to the upper realms to cultivate?" Nan Yin asked as he stared at Duan Ling Tian, as if he wanted to see Duan Ling Tian's true thoughts.
"Upper Sky Realm?" Duan Chengtian's eyes flashed with a strange light as he softly said, "I have indeed had such an idea. If possible, I might go up."
"If Brother Duan is willing, then why don't we go up together and help each other verify martial arts so that we can take care of each other?" Nan Yin smiled warmly.
A meaningful look flashed across Gongsun Lu's face as he looked at Nanyin. It seemed that Nanyou had a lot of ideas.
For most people, the distance between them and the ZhongTian was just too far, it was simply impossible to come into contact with it. As such, it was known as the Upper Realm, and in terms of levels, it was extremely difficult to cross it.
From a certain perspective, however, it could be said that the Zhong-Heaven and the Asura Hell were actually very close. He had once heard from his clan's elders that the Zhong-Heaven originally did not exist and was opened up by his descendants, forming his own world.
However, that era was too far away from now. There were only a few rough records in the ancient texts, and no one knew if it was true or not.
Thus, the difficulty of advancing from the Asura Hell to the ZhongTian realm was not as great as ordinary people imagined. Most top powerhouses had methods to send their descendants up, but they had to pay a price.
Even so, the number of people going to the Central Sky was very small.
There was no other reason other than the fact that the ZhongTian's influence was too strong, and his descendants were all extraordinary. If the people from the Asura Hell didn't have great talent, they would only be at the bottom, with no sense of existence.
However, people at the top of the Heavenly Ranking like Duan Chengtian, Gongsun Lu and Nan Yin might not be considered top-notch talents anymore, but they could still be called Heaven's Pride characters. They wouldn't be easily ignored by others.
After all, they were already standing at a very high altitude. There weren't many people who could surpass them.
"Alright, if I go, I will send someone to inform you." Duan Ling Tian looked at Nan Yin and spoke to him. Since Nan Yin had shown such enthusiasm, it wasn't good for him to refuse him in person. Thus, he could only agree to it.
"Then I'll be waiting for Brother Duan's good voice!" "Take care, you two!"
After that, Gongsun Lu and Duan Chengtian left in large strides. Nan Yin watched them leave, and when the two of them turned around, the smile on Nan Yin's face gradually disappeared, replaced with an unfathomable expression, as if he had become a different person.
Nan Yin could tell that Gongsun Lu and Duan Chengtian didn't pay much attention to him. Duan Chengtian's performance wasn't very obvious, but Gongsun Lu obviously rejected royal father's invitation and insisted on leaving. It could be seen that he didn't have a good impression of the Nanhua Empire.
Moreover, he personally invited the two of them to help earlier, but the two of them still rejected him. If they were willing to act, the result would definitely be different.
Therefore, NanYin felt resentment towards Duan Ling Tian and Gongsun Lu. After all, they had come to attend the banquet and hadn't given him, the host, the slightest bit of face. He couldn't help but feel slightly ungrateful.
However, he could only think about this in his heart. He could not express it, or else he would never be able to be friends.
After Gongsun Tian and Duan Chengtian left, Zai Zhou stood up as well. He looked towards Lin Yuan in the south and said, "I won't stay any longer. Please take care, Saint Lord!"
"Say hello to your father for me when you get back, if you have the chance." Obviously, he knew who his father was.
When Lin Yuan had yet to ascend to the throne, he had gone to Zhongliu to cultivate. At that time, he had met his father, who was a traitor, and often sat together drinking and discussing the Dao, but they had not been in contact for many years.
"I must tell the Holy Lord." Chou Zhou replied and left with his men.
Not long after, the previously bustling and bustling Nanhua Imperial Palace became much quieter. The citizens of Nanhua Empire sighed in their hearts as they stared at the scene before them. They had originally thought that today would be a grand occasion for the Southern Flower Kingdom.
Nan Yin walked up to Lin Yuan and said with his head lowered, "royal father, I was useless. Please punish me, royal father."
"I don't blame you." Nan Linyuan's gaze swept across Nan Yin indifferently, and said, "In the future, work hard to cultivate, strive to step into the Saint Stage as soon as possible, and then wash away today's humiliation."
Upon hearing Nan Lin Yuan's words, Nan Yin raised his head and looked at the dignified figure before him. A surprised expression appeared on his face, as if he thought he had heard wrongly.
The usually strict royal father actually didn't blame him this time?
"However, the next time, I hope that you can kill Qin Xuan. If you cannot do so, you do not need to return."
After that, Lin Yuan opened his mouth and said something, causing Nan Yin's expression to freeze.
Of course he understood the meaning of those words.
This was royal father's last chance. If he couldn't kill Qin Xuan, then he would never have the chance to get the throne of the Southern Flower Kingdom. He would have to stay out here for the rest of his life.
"I know, I will definitely not let royal father down again!" Nan Yin said in a low voice, his eyes filled with a strong killing intent. The throne of the Southern Flower Country had to be his, and Qin Xuan had to die!
… ….
The person in the lead was middle-aged and wore a set of white clothes, giving off a feeling of elegance and gentleness. To his left and right were two females, both of them extremely beautiful.
This middle-aged man was Yi Sheng, and the two women beside him were Ming Xue and Shangguan Yulian.
As for Qin Xuan, Song Yue and the rest, they were still in Desert Flower City. Yi Sheng had Yun Xing stay by their side to protect their safety, and other than Nanlin Yuan, no one else could threaten her.
"How much time do you have left?" Mingyue Xue glanced at Yi Sheng as she asked. Her tone was extremely calm, as though she was merely speaking in an extremely ordinary tone.
"About two days." Yi Sheng said with a trace of sadness in his eyes. He then looked at Mingyue Snow and said, "Southern Lin Yuan should be able to see through my situation. In two days, you have to leave this place and not let him find you, or your lives will be in danger."
"I know." Brightmoon nodded gently.
Listening to their conversation, Shangguan Yulian felt extremely upset. Her eyes were bloodshot and tears were streaming down her face. She knew very well that her father was going to die in two days, but there was nothing she could do.
