Chapter 1405

Therefore, everyone considered Ning Chen far too reckless.

Only a very few still believed that the Ning family had risen.

After all, when the Ning clan was expelled back then, everyone had witnessed it with their own eyes.

Now that the Ning clan has returned, they will surely restore the glory of those days.

Yet at this moment, Ning Chen knew nothing of these matters.

He was now preparing to return to the village to take a look and, in passing, ask where his parents were.

After all, he had been rushing about within the Imperial Capital this entire time and had paid no attention to his parents' affairs.

"Whoosh!"

Just then, a figure appeared before him.

This person had an aged face.

He wore a set of gray cloth clothes, and his eyes carried an air of vicissitudes.

Yet there was an inexplicable aura, as if he had experienced all the states of the world.

At this, Ning Chen's pupils contracted.

Horror flashed in his eyes.

In that instant, he understood who the other person was.

"You... are Mr. Xuanyang!"

Ning Chen said, somewhat stammering.

This time, he had completed the mission very well.

It had even exceeded expectations.

Upon hearing the voice,

the corner of Mr. Xuanyang's mouth curved into a slight arc.

Then, he said lightly.

"That's right. Since you know me, come with me for a trip!"

After his words fell,

Mr. Xuanyang walked toward the distance.

His pace was neither fast nor slow.

Yet Ning Chen dared not be negligent.

Following behind, after a short while, they arrived at a forest on the outskirts of the Imperial City.

Upon reaching the destination,

Miss Hongxiu asked, puzzled.

"Mr. Xuanyang, I don't understand. Why did you bring us here?"

She was somewhat confused.

"Hehe, how could I not understand your thoughts? Rest assured, you'll know once we arrive.

Your brothers were all good children. It's a pity I couldn't save them in time; otherwise, they wouldn't be in such a state.

Alas!"

Mr. Xuanyang sighed.

"Master, are you talking about my uncles and aunts?"

Miss Hongxiu spoke up.

Grief showed in her eyes.

"Yes, they are your father and mother's siblings, including your grandparents!"

Upon hearing the voice, Miss Hongxiu fell silent for a moment before saying,

"Mm. After we return this time, I will bring them to the Imperial City.

I believe that upon seeing me return safely, my parents will be very happy!"

Then, turning to Ning Chen beside her, she said, "Brother Chen, thank you for taking care of me these past few years!"

"No need for courtesy. You are my maid; taking care of you is only right!"

Ning Chen said with a smile.

Then, the two continued forward.

At this moment, Mr. Xuanyang felt even more that taking Miss Hongxiu as his disciple was a most wise choice.

This Miss was neither arrogant nor impatient, and she was understanding.

Most importantly, the other party liked Ning Chen very much.

That was the most important thing.

When Ning Chen brought Miss Hongxiu back to the village,

he discovered that the entire village was utterly silent.

Everyone sat dazed inside their houses.

The Ning clan had been slaughtered to the last.

Ning Yuanshan's death was especially gruesome.

The whole person had been burned to death alive.

And when Ning Chen saw his parents' corpses, his eyes moistened.

He had lost his father from childhood and was raised solely by his mother.

Now, seeing his father burned to death alive.

Tears, no longer able to be held back, began to fall.

At this moment, he was truly heartbroken.

No matter what, he was the only bloodline of Ning Yuanshan.

"Bang!"

Then, he punched hard, hammering into a tree.

A towering ancient tree was actually broken in half by him.

Seeing this scene, the nearby villagers' eyes nearly popped out of their heads.

"Who is this person, how can he have such immense strength!"

Someone cried out in shock.

The surrounding villagers, however, could not help but shake their heads and smile bitterly.

Ning Yuanshan's son has returned for revenge; these people are about to suffer.

Indeed, in the very next instant, Ning Chen's voice rang out in an instant.

"Whoever moved something belonging to my Ning clan, step forward; I will leave your body intact!"

The voice was so cold that everyone involuntarily trembled.

However, just as his words had barely fallen.

A voice was heard.

"Haha, a mere person from the wasteland dares to be arrogant!

Your Ning clan will sooner or later perish in the long river of history.

And you are merely my prisoner!"

The voice carried an unmistakable tone of mockery.

"You seek death!"

At this moment, Ning Chen was enraged.

His eyes were bloodshot, looking just like a god of slaughter.

Then, without the slightest hesitation, his figure shot straight up into the air.

"Roar!"

As a roar sounded.

His body instantly transformed into its original form.

Strong limbs, wings growing from his back.

"Boom!"

His wings flapped, and a violent sound of tearing through the air rang out.
