352. Chapter 352: Better to wrongly kill a thousand than to let one person escape.

Sun Taohong hesitated again and again, but still sent her subordinates to summon the current Head of the Family of the Nangong Family, who was Nangong Xuntian, the elder brother of the former Head of the Family.

"I wonder what kind of refined interest the Sun Family has to summon me here?"

After Nangong Xuntian sat down, he drank a cup of tea with great familiarity, squinted his triangular eyes, and began to size up Sun Taohong.

Sun Taohong wore a mysterious black robe that outlined her perfect figure to the fullest, with large patches of blood-red begonia flowers ironed onto the garment.

Her waist was cinched by a blood-red belt, and her slender waist was less than a handful.

She had a peach-pink face with long, narrow eyes—a typical phoenix eye shape—which carried a faint sense of pressure when she looked at people.

However, on this porcelain-white cheek, a scar ran from her eyebrow to her chin; the scar was large and long, like a giant centipede coiling on her face, forcibly destroying the original beauty and harmony.

Seeing Nangong Xuntian staring straight at her face, it would be a lie to say Sun Taohong was not annoyed, but since she needed his help, she could not afford to fall out with him, so she could only force a smile that did not reach her eyes.

"I called the Nangong Head of the Family here naturally because there is an important matter to discuss."

Sun Taohong lifted her eyelids, and the specific emotion behind these words could not be discerned.

"What matter?"

Nangong Xuntian looked at Sun Taohong with a playful smile, his gaze falling unconsciously onto her proud chest, and upon touching the large scar on her face, he could not help but sigh with regret.

She is quite a beauty; if there were no scar on her face, she would truly be a top-tier catch.

What a pity, what a pity.

"Recently, a young punk has come to the Central Province. It is said that he only brought a few people with him, all of whom are experts with profound cultivation realms. Upon arriving here, he quickly wiped out the Lin Family, and immediately after, the Seven Kings Mansion. Have you heard of this matter?"

Sun Taohong felt great disgust toward Nangong Xuntian, but since their strengths were comparable, she could only patiently explain.

"Naturally, I know of it. It is just a greenhorn who, having some powerful women with profound cultivation by his side, has become so arrogant that he doesn't know his own worth."

After Nangong Xuntian finished speaking, he gave a disdainful cold snort, "I think he is just relying on those women to commit evil."

Hearing this, Sun Taohong could not help but want to chop his head off with a sword. If he were truly just a punk relying on women, how could he have successively defeated the Lin Family and the Seven Kings Mansion?

Furthermore, if he were truly a coward who knew no martial arts, why would those powerful women think highly of him? Could it be just because he has a handsome face? "I think it's just that the Lin Family had declined into such a state, and the Seven Kings Mansion, that product of feudal remnants, had long been stuck in its old ways and deserved to disappear."

Nangong Xuntian drank another sip of tea and said indifferently.

If it were really as simple as he said, that would be fine. Although the Lin Family and the Seven Kings Mansion had already begun to decline, if they were truly so easy to defeat, why would they have maintained the current tripartite balance of power instead of just swallowing them up? Sun Taohong could not help but lament that Nangong Xuntian was truly a creature with a simple mind and developed limbs; she immediately regretted calling him over today, as it was a complete waste of breath.

Sun Taohong rubbed her head, sighed leisurely, and then said: "Things are not as simple as you think. The foundations of the Lin Family and the Seven Kings Mansion still remain. Regardless of whether Su Chen relies on women or not, such a terrifying speed of extermination cannot allow us to lower our guard."

Hearing this, Nangong Xuntian became slightly more vigilant, but he still felt that Sun Taohong was making a mountain out of a molehill.

"Instead of worrying about that kid with me here, you'd better handle the matter at hand first. Those fleeing Leiyin Clan members have all been captured by us, but the remaining Saintess is nowhere to be seen."

Nangong Xuntian could not help but clench his fists.

One must know that he had gone to great lengths to find that little wench, but she seemed to have evaporated from the world; no matter what, he could not find a trace of her existence.

"I estimate that she has already left Leiyin Island; otherwise, at the speed we are searching, it would be impossible not to find them." Sun Taohong glanced at Nangong Xuntian and said calmly.

"How can that be? We still need the Saintess. The deadline is almost here, and if we fail to do it, we will likely be punished."

Upon hearing this, Nangong Xuntian became anxious, looking at Sun Taohong with fear in his eyes.

Mentioning this matter, he was no longer as calm and composed as before, but instead carried a faint sense of fear.

"We cannot rush this matter. With these clansmen here, I do not believe that little girl will have the heart to abandon them."

Sun Taohong sneered, her eyes full of determination to succeed.

It was their mistake before that allowed Ano to escape, but this time, Ano would not be so lucky.

"Fine, we still need to think of a way; otherwise, even if we can't find Ano, we shouldn't be completely unprepared."

Nangong Xuntian added, still feeling uneasy.

"Got it, got it." Sun Taohong waved her hand impatiently.

On the surface, the two of them were in a hostile relationship, but in reality, their relationship was at most just bad; they both had a master behind them ordering them to do things.

So, although their relationship was not good, it had not reached the point of tearing off the mask, so they could only deal with each other like this.

"Is there any movement from the Ziwei Pavilion side?" Sun Taohong asked again.

"I haven't seen any movement, but I heard from the disciples inside that the sect-protecting array outside the main gate has been strengthened, and even some high-level cultivators have begun to practice formation arrays; when the time is ripe, that will be when they exert their power."

When Nangong Xuntian said this, a flash of deep thought crossed his eyes.

One must know that the Ziwei Pavilion is the undisputed smallest existence in the Central Province; now, even if Leiyin Mountain and the Seven Kings Mansion joined forces, they might not necessarily gain any advantage against the Ziwei Pavilion.

There is no other reason: the Ziwei Pavilion not only has many experts at the Quasi-Emperor Peak Realm, but one of the magical fairies among them has even stepped into the Half-step Great Emperor realm.

Under such circumstances, it can be said that they kill gods when they encounter gods, and kill Buddhas when they encounter Buddhas.

Those who understand the times are heroes; they would not let the snipe and the clam fight so that the Ziwei Pavilion could reap the benefits.

"Recently, we must still strengthen the manpower at Leiyin Mountain. If there are any suspicious people, report them to me immediately. Better to wrongly kill a thousand than to let one person escape."

Sun Taohong gave a cold snort and continued.

In any case, that Nangong Xuntian was also a good-for-nothing who could not be helped; after thinking it over, Sun Taohong decided to take matters into her own hands.

"Recently, we will temporarily cease fire. Those Leiyin Clan members might also relax their vigilance, making it easier to catch them."

Sun Taohong expressed her thoughts again, her eyes filled with a bit of caution.

She always felt that the pressure brought by that young kid was very powerful. (End of chapter)
