When mentioning the book, Old Master Nangong’s lips curled into a dismissive smile; he finally understood what their true purpose was. They were all here for that book. "Old Man Nangong, if you keep pretending to be ignorant, it won’t be fun. You didn’t get to where you are today by feigning ignorance. If you keep this up, your precious granddaughter and grandson will suffer!" The Black Widow had no patience for his stalling here. Old Master Nangong narrowed his eyes instantly, watching her with a wary gaze, "What have you done to Yun Hai and Man Sha?" "Hmph, nothing yet, but if you don’t cooperate, that won’t be the case anymore." The Black Widow snorted and said. Old Master Nangong squinted his eyes, his sharp gaze fixated on her, "I have many books in my study. Take whatever you want." The Black Widow suddenly clapped her hands, glaring at him fiercely, "You stubborn old man! You know I’m not talking about those. If you keep feigning ignorance, I might just send your precious granddaughter and grandson to meet King Yan!" Old Master Nangong was not easily frightened. He snorted lightly, "I have no idea what you’re talking about; all the books you mentioned are in this study. If you want them, just look for them." Old Master Nangong continued to sit there with a calm expression, showing no hint of fear in his gaze. This is the aura and courage that a person in a high position should possess. The Black Widow pursed her lips tightly, raising her hand to signal the people behind her to search. The study was turned upside down by An Xie’s people, becoming a chaotic scene, yet they couldn’t find the so-called ancient book. "It seems you won’t hand over the ancient book unless I show you some colors." The Black Widow snorted lightly, raising her eyes to look at Old Master Nangong, "Bring Nangong Man Sha up!" Just as she finished speaking, there was a knock on the door. "Sect Hierarch, new discovery." The person walked excitedly up to the Black Widow and said, "Nangong Man Sha has not been poisoned either." The Black Widow was taken aback, "Not poisoned either?" Thinking about Nangong Man Sha’s face when she came in, a flicker of suspicion passed through her mind. How could she not be poisoned? That clearly showed symptoms of poisoning. "Strictly speaking, it’s not that she’s not poisoned, but... her body has special factors that neutralize all our poison." The Black Widow touched her chin, her lips curling into a faint smile; this was interesting. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on novel·fıre·net "Alright, I understand. You can go now." "So, Sect Hierarch, should we still bring her up?" The subordinate asked. The Black Widow looked at Old Master Nangong, who still maintained a calm face at this time, "You stubborn old fool, I didn’t expect you to remain so calm even now. Are they truly your precious ones?" Old Master Nangong chuckled, "What if they are? What if they aren’t? Do you think my Nangong Family’s descendants would be scared by your threats?" "Then you really underestimate our Nangong Family." The Black Widow snorted coldly, "Then let’s wait and see!" "Bring Nangong Yunhai!" Meanwhile downstairs, Nangong Man Sha was still sitting on the ground; her strength had mostly recovered. She was also curious; she clearly was poisoned, yet she quickly recovered. "What is your ultimate purpose?" Nangong Man Sha asked. But those people seemed not to hear, completely ignoring her. Nangong Man Sha sighed softly and asked again, "Aren’t you afraid your own families might be implicated by your actions?" Finally, someone spoke with impatience, "Miss Man Sha, save your little tricks. We have no families; your sentimentality doesn’t work on us." Nangong Man Sha saw her strategy was uncovered, and her face flashed a cold smile. Clearly, she needed a different approach. These people seemed to have the mind reading technique; whatever she said, they could instantly see through her intentions, leaving her feeling at a loss of options. At this time, outside, Chu Ge and Huo Tianqian drove to the old mansion’s entrance, and as soon as they arrived, they sensed the spreading toxic mist around. But this toxic mist had an organized pattern, resembling a Heaven Burial shroud covering the Nangong Mansion, preventing the inside mist from dispersing. Ordinary people couldn’t see it. "Mr. Chu, you see, it seems the people inside might be in grave danger." Chu Ge squinted his eyes, pondering for a moment, then lightly shook his head, "These toxins initially won’t take lives. We must act wisely and not rashly." Chu Ge and Huo Tianqian split up, one going from the front and the other taking the rear route. Chu Ge went directly in from the front. At the entrance, a few people from the Black Witch Sect were stationed. When they saw Chu Ge, they seemed surprised, but before they could signal, Chu Ge silenced them. Chu Ge stood in the doorway. At his feet lay several corpses, which quickly dissolved into a pool of filthy water, from which a flying insect emerged. Inside, there was the sound of talking; it was Nangong Man Sha’s voice. "What do you want? Money or power?" Nangong Man Sha asked with a tone of urgency. These people seemed completely impervious; no matter what she said, they wouldn’t listen. Standing at the door, Chu Ge saw Nangong Man Sha sitting on the ground, surrounded by several people who were guarding her tightly, as if fearing she’d escape. Chu Ge silently moved inside, unnoticed by those people. But Nangong Man Sha, facing the door, quickly noticed Chu Ge’s presence, her eyes lighting up with joy; seeing Chu Ge, her heart immediately felt at ease. Chu Ge shook his head at her silently, and Nangong Man Sha understood. "Don’t bother about our purpose. Just pray your grandfather will cooperate with our Sect Hierarch and hand over the item!" Nangong Man Sha’s lips curled into a cold smile. She lazily lifted her eyes, her beautiful gaze flashing with brilliance, "And if he doesn’t cooperate?" "Hmph, doesn’t cooperate? Then the Capital City won’t have the Nangong Family anymore!" That person boasted arrogantly. Nangong Man Sha laughed heartily, her laughter radiant like blossoms, "Seems to me, in your mind, the Nangong Family is as fragile as a wall not properly built, ready to topple with a gust of wind." "Hmph, Nangong Man Sha, don’t think your Nangong Family can command the winds in the Capital City. You are, after all, just ordinary people. When faced with Ancient Martial Artists, what can you fight us with?" "I don’t know what we can fight with; I only know... you’re doomed!"
