Chapter 1222: It’s Impossible to Forgive Him

Nan Xiao said, his eyes filled with undeniable anger:

"My daughter and son-in-law couldn’t care less about the masses caught in the Great Array and directly led the Dragon Team to escape through the underground river.

Nan Gong discovered the Dragon Team’s escape and joined the Demon Cultivator in pursuit and interception. My daughter happened to carry the defensive array plate given to her by her Master. So, at the waterfall at the underground river’s exit, she laid down the array, hid within, and sent a distress signal to the Dragon Chief.

Originally, they calculated the time for the array to hold, enough for the Dragon Chief to come and rescue them. But before Nan Gong left, he instructed someone that if the Dragon Chief set out, to delay him by all means for over two hours.

As a result, when the Dragon Chief received the information and planned to save the people, he was intercepted by Nan Gong Sect’s people, and the delay lasted for two hours."

"The Dragon Team couldn’t wait for the Dragon Chief’s rescue and, under the combined attack of Nan Gong and the Demon Cultivator, my daughter’s array was shattered, exposing the members of the Dragon Team to Nan Gong. Nan Gong condensed a Big Golden Saber and swung it down, intending to kill all nine people, including my daughter and son-in-law.

At the critical moment, I arrived in time. Seeing Nan Gong about to slay them, I launched an attack to block Nan Gong’s killing move.

This is why Nan Yun’ao swore to you truthfully that I didn’t attack the Demon Cultivator but instead targeted Nan Gong’s move. Tell me, should I have made that move?"

The Supreme Elder was stunned.

Nan Xiao paused momentarily and continued: "Honestly, if it were a normal time, seeing my family attack others, perhaps I wouldn’t intervene. But at that moment, I had a feeling that if I didn’t block that move, I would regret it for life.

Luckily, I blocked that move because after Nan Gong fled, I realized among those nearly killed by Nan Gong’s move was my own blood, and moreover, it was my biological daughter!"

The Supreme Elder, Great Elder, and Second Elder exchanged glances, surprised to find that the move Nan Yun’ao mentioned was indeed an attack under such circumstances.

He was right; Nan Xiao did launch an attack at him, but the move wasn’t for killing; it saved nine people. Nan Xiao likely sensed the kinship’s plea for help at that critical moment, prompting him to make that move, blocking Nan Gong’s attack.

"However, I was still late. Although I blocked that move, before I arrived, the array had already scattered temporarily; my nephew was burned 90% by Nan Gong’s fireball trying to save my daughter. A Dragon Team member named Zhao Chunqiu was killed, Captain Feng of the Dragon Team had his right arm chopped off and was rendered useless. Other than the Nan Family’s pretender Eldest Lady Nan Mingzhu who did not participate in the battle, everyone else suffered severe injuries."

Nan Xiao looked at the Supreme Elder, Great Elder, and Second Elder: "The Dragon Team was dispatched to Shanbei Village, which was commanded by Nan Gong Sect. The two Fire Attribute cultivators were indicated by him, and he urged the Folklore and Cultural Research Association to have my prospective son-in-law join the mission, which was also his demand.

Moreover, it was only as the Deputy Team Leader of the Dragon Team that he had the authority to dispatch these people, yet Nan Yun’ao wants to pin this blame on me; do you think that’s possible?"

Several people shook their heads: indeed, how come they didn’t think about it at the time? Nan Xiao was merely capturing demon cultivators for the Immortal Sect, not a member of the Dragon Team, so how could he have dispatched the Dragon Team to the Demon Cultivator for healing?
