Or the Duan family?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were the only two people with surnames that Ke Yulin had spat out earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nangong Jin restrained his smile and said seriously, \"If it is the Li family, then it is aimed at my Nangong family. Our two families have hatred and conflicts of interest, the kind that cannot be resolved.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Borrowing the hand of my Nangong family, whether it is to kill you or offend you. After the Yuding Sword Sect returns, my Nangong family will not get any benefits.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If it is the Duan family...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nangong Jin frowned, unable to think of any conflict between the Duan family and them for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, there was a time when they almost became in-laws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There is a direct descendant of the Duan family in our society, who harbors hatred for the Duan family.\" Luo Chen said faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nangong Jin hesitated, \"In other words, framing and blaming? Borrowing a knife to kill?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, he shook his head again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But doing so is really making a mountain out of a molehill. Foundation Establishment True Cultivators want to kill, why use such means.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have the protective means left by Elder Pang Renxiong, and overly conspicuous means will always leave people with something to talk about.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Nangong Jin pursed his lips imperceptibly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen looked at Ke Yulin’s corpse and said to himself, \"Then the key to the problem lies in who put the divine soul restriction on him...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The divine soul restriction is a profound method, as far as I know. The Duan family is good at magic tool casting and is quite proficient in array restrictions. The female cultivator of the Li family practices the Huaiyin Technique and is also familiar with this kind of means.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The truth, once again, froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen and Nangong Jin looked at each other, then smiled tacitly as if they had a tacit understanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It doesn't matter anymore, does it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, it is most important for our two sides to abandon previous suspicions and cooperate sincerely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then the supply of Jade Marrow Elixirs?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As usual, I brought fifty bottles with me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good! Good! Good!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After delivering the elixirs, Luo Chen didn't even look at Ke Yulin’s corpse and flew away on the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After he left, a figure stepped forward quickly under the stone platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Father, why be so polite to him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nangong Qin was puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He admitted that Luo Chen indeed had extraordinary aspects, so he had already stopped holding contempt for him before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his father was a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator, why be so approachable?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Nangong Jin looked cautiously into the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Polite, naturally because of strength.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Strength?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nangong Qin was puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't release his spiritual sense yet and couldn't detect the situation nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Nangong Jin could easily perceive that a few miles away, there was an existence, unreservedly emitting his own aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was an aura not inferior to a Foundation Establishment True Cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It should be that expert from the Battle Hall of the Luo Tian Society.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nangong Jin handed the storage bag to Nangong Qin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want my Nangong family to return to a prosperous state, elixirs are indispensable.
