"Nan Shao, you're acting so secretive with my dad, have you already started mining the primeval stone mine?"
Only Guo Nan and Dugu Kong knew about the primeval stone mine. Dugu Hong and Dugu Mei were overseeing Nanshi Mansion and did not know anything. But when they thought about it, the primeval stone lode was probably already in progress.
Guo Nan nodded his head: "Yes, we are currently mining. Before the Six Academies Large Competition comes, I will always be at Nanshi Mansion and will not go back to Tianwu Academy for the time being. I hope that we can finish the mining of the primeval stone's vein before the Six Academies Large Competition s do, and from today onwards, we do not have to travel back and forth. "
Hearing Guo Nan's words, Dugu Hong looked at Guo Nan thoughtfully and asked: "Nan Shao, after the Six Academies Large Competition, you have to leave, right?"
Guo Nan looked at Dugu Hong in shock, "How did you guess?"
"Feel it, your heart is no longer in Heavenly Empire, Heavenly Empire is too small to keep you. Actually, someone like you should go to more powerful places and stay in the Heavenly Empire. There is no meaning in that. "
He knew that he didn't have much time left with Guo Nan.
Guo Nan sighed and said indifferently: "Actually, there is still a period of time before the Six Academies Large Competition ends. I still have to deal with Dugu Wuji, Dugu Long, and the rest of the people from Tianwu City. I will only leave after everything has been settled."
"I hope that day comes a little later."
Dugu Hong smiled faintly. She wanted to go with Guo Nan, but he knew his strength was a burden to Guo Nan when he came to such powerful places. Furthermore, he still wanted to stay in the Heavenly Empire to inherit the assets of the Dugu Family, so he couldn't selfishly leave.
After the primeval stone lode was mined, it was foreseeable that the Dugu Family would welcome a golden opportunity to develop, and Dugu Hong was not willing to give it up.
The only thing he could hope for was that the day of Guo Nan's departure would come a little later.
The Pan Jiang Town was two days away from the Southern Rock City. Guo Nan and Dugu Hong, along with their whips, took two days to arrive at the Southern Rock City smoothly.
There were not many people in the Southern Rock City. Amongst the prefectural cities in the Heavenly Empire, it was the most barren and desolate place. After Guo Nan and Dugu Hong entered the Southern Rock City, Guo Nan's expression became ugly.
"Dugu Hong, have you noticed that something happened to Southern Rock City?" Guo Nan led his horse and looked around. The pedestrians were in a hurry, and there were more patrolling soldiers wearing Armor s on the streets. It was obviously not a good sign.
Dugu Hong was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "It does seem to be different. Could it be that Southern Rock City was attacked?"
The two of them looked at each other, mounted their horses and quickly rushed to City Lord's Mansion.
"Dad, did something happen?" As soon as the two entered City Lord's Mansion, Dugu Kong came over with an extremely ugly expression.
Dugu Kong looked directly at Guo Nan with a face full of shame. She cupped her fist towards Guo Nan and said, "Guo Nan, three days ago, City Lord's Mansion was attacked and Mei Er was taken away."
Guo Nan had already realized that something was amiss. Dugu Kong's face was pale and her steps were shaky. She was seriously injured. And now that he was back, Dugu Mei didn't come out immediately. Something must have happened to her.
Although he had guessed a little, when Dugu Kong said it, Guo Nan still couldn't help but roar furiously: "Fuck, Dugu Kong, you can't even protect your own sister?"
Dugu Hong's face was filled with shock as she asked, "Father, my aunt was taken away?" Who dares to blatantly attack our Dugu Family? "Could it be that old bastard Dugu Wuji?"
Dugu Kong said with a wry smile, "The enemies are very strong. A Nascent Soul Stage powerhouse has as many as three people! If they didn't hold back, I'm afraid I would have been killed. I am sure they are not from the Heavenly Empire. Within the Heavenly Empire, there is not a single force that can send three A Nascent Soul Stage powerhouse. "Not even Nangong Royal Family."
After Guo Nan went into a rage, he quickly calmed down. He knew very well that what had happened was already happening. The most important thing was to find out the root of the problem, and not to get angry with Dugu Kong.
Guo Nan was silent for a while and then asked coldly, "Why did those people arrest Dugu Mei?"
Dugu Kong shook her head with a bitter smile. "I don't know either, but this matter is related to us."
"What do you mean?" Guo Nan asked.
"Before they left, they left behind a message for us to go to Holy Dynasty of the West Chu, so we can naturally see each other."
"Green Willow Palace? What kind of power is that? "
"I know a bit about the West Chu Holy Dynasty. In the Western Chu Holy Dynasty, there were three great powers, divided evenly between the two. They were the Ancient Dragon Sect, the Green Willow Palace, and the Maple Leaf Merchant Guild. Outside of the three great factions, the 'Hall of Souls' was naturally the strongest. The Western Chu Holy Dynasty's overall strength was the combination of the three great forces. As for why Green Willow Palace wanted to capture Mei Er, I have already sent people to investigate. " Dugu Kong explained.
Guo Nan pondered for a moment and waved his hand at Dugu Hong. "Dugu Hong, go rest first. I have something important to discuss with your father."
Dugu Hong felt that it was a bit strange. Why did her father suddenly become so resourceful and know about the matters of the West Chu Holy Dynasty?
With a stomach full of questions, Dugu Hong stepped aside.
"Dugu Kong, I'm afraid this matter happened not because of me, but because of you, right?" Guo Nan looked at Dugu Kong coldly and said.
Dugu Kong sighed and said helplessly: "I'm not too sure either. Green Willow Palace has no enmity with our Dugu Family, it's impossible for them to come and capture someone for no reason. Or it's because your talent attracted the attention of Green Willow Palace, and Green Willow Palace wanted you to join them, that's why he took Dugu Mei away. Perhaps it was because I, the Green Willow Palace, discovered my identity but was unable to confirm it, thus capturing Mei Er. No matter what, the message they left behind is for us to go to the Green Willow Palace. It's impossible for any of us to save Mei Er in this matter. We can only work together. "
Guo Nan sneered and said, "Dugu Kong, because of the relationship between Dugu Mei and Dugu Hong, we should not be enemies. "If you want to play any tricks, just do it to me. Why do you have to involve Dugu Mei?"
"Guo Nan, what do you mean? "You don't believe me?"
"This matter is very strange, I do not dare to not believe it, nor do I dare to completely believe it. In short, no matter who it is, if they want to deal with me, they can. However, since it involves my woman, I will not show mercy. "
"Guo Nan, I want to set off to the West Chu Holy Dynasty as soon as possible. We'll know the truth when the time comes. If you doubt me now, I have nothing to say. "
Guo Nan narrowed his eyes and sized Dugu Kong up. He whispered to Xiao Qiang, who was beside him, "Xiao Qiang, is he lying?"
"I don't think so. I can feel that he is severely injured and needs some time to recover from his injuries. When he spoke, his heartbeat didn't change at all. It didn't seem like he was lying. "
Hearing Xiao Qiang's voice transmission, Guo Nan's expression became slightly better. He nodded towards Dugu Kong and said, "According to what you said, Dugu Mei shouldn't be in any danger right now, right?"
"No, they want to rope us in. They won't do all that they can."
After the primeval stone mining is finished, and the matter of the Heavenly Empire is over, we will go to the Western Chu Holy Dynasty! No matter what Green Willow Palace wants to do, I will remember this debt. "
A dangerous glint flashed in Guo Nan's eyes. After Dugu Mei was taken away, his heart was burning with anxiety. He was not as calm as he looked on the surface.
At the same time, a black battleship was quickly flying towards Holy Dynasty Xi Chu.
