Therefore, the one who suffered the most serious situation in this backlash was Bei Mingtian.

The other cultivators were at most seriously injured and only needed to rest for a period of time, but Bei Mingtian nearly lost his life, as all his meridians were shattered. Fortunately, he sealed himself in time and did not die on the spot.

Bei Mingtian had a hot temper, and the elders in the clan knew they were in the wrong in this matter, so they could only endure his scolding.

"Master, please be patient... I firmly believe that there will be no problem with my work. There must be another reason for this incident."

A gentle voice sounded, and Bei Ming Hu walked over slowly. Nangong Ling pushed the wheelchair slightly behind, and there seemed to be a teasing smile on his face.

"Hu'er, quickly apologize to the clan leader."

The elder next to him carefully sent a message, but Bei Ming Hu shook his head and politely declined.

"This matter is not my fault, why apologize?"

"Is that the old man's fault?"

Bei Mingtian was furious, and an invisible pressure swept over him, causing the doctors next to him to kneel down in fear.

"The clan leader is not wrong," Bei Minghu said calmly as he walked to the center of the formation. "The one who is wrong is... the one who caused the trouble."

His consciousness passed through the center of the formation and descended directly onto the entire clan protection formation, overlooking the ancient Beiming clan’s residence.

"Tsk, you escaped really fast."

Bei Ming Hu sensed it for a while and shook his head regretfully.

He rushed to the center of the formation as soon as possible, trying to spy on the other party.

As it turned out, the opponent's methods seemed to be quite clever. Not only did they prevent Bei Ming Hu from spying, they also withdrew from the formation in time, making it impossible for Bei Ming Hu to find the problematic node in the formation.

Quite experienced...It seems like he is a formidable veteran.

Bei Ming Hu looked at Nangong Ling thoughtfully and narrowed his eyes.

"I don't know anything about your ancient clan."

Nangong Ling spread his hands, looking innocent.

She was happy to see the Beiming Ancient Clan suffer a defeat, but if the Beiming Ancient Clan failed at this time, the follow-up would be very troublesome and might even endanger other parts of the universe.

By then, the Nangong family will not be able to remain immune.

Intellectually speaking, the plan of the Bei Ming Ancient Clan should go smoothly... But when Nangong Ling saw the expressions of the Bei Ming Ancient Clan members, as if they had eaten something, he couldn't help laughing.

"Of course I am not doubting Miss Ling. Everyone has seen how hard you have worked these days. No one would doubt you, and it is impossible for them to doubt you."

Bei Ming Hu paused and continued,

"But, this matter is so strange that I really have no clue. I wonder if Miss Ling knows... a person named 'Luo Xue'?"

Nangong Ling's pupils shrank slightly when he heard Luo Xue's name unexpectedly, but he quickly shook his head and replied,

"I don't know her, I've never heard of her. You suddenly mentioned this person... Are you suspecting that she was responsible for this?"

Bei Ming Hu looked at Nan Gong Ling deeply and said softly,

"No, Miss Ling, you misunderstood. I didn't doubt... I was certain that I couldn't think of anyone else except her.

"In the entire universe, there are almost no people who are proficient in formations. This Miss Luo Xue appeared a thousand years ago and became famous for her achievement of unifying the wilderness.

“But few people know that she was able to accomplish such a great feat only because of her array skills and a little bit of luck. In fact, the monsters in the wilderness do not really recognize her.

"Although I don't know why she came all the way from the wilderness to disrupt the Beiming Ancient Clan's plan, but... apart from Luo Xue, the Lord of the Wilderness, there is only one person in the world who can tamper with the clan's protective formation."

The 224th Military Order, the vague truth

The Lord of the Wilderness "Luo Xue" is proficient in formations and has achieved a high level of attainment. This is no secret in the eyes of the top leaders of various major forces, especially the ancient clans who are good at making arrangements in the dark, whose understanding of this even exceeds that of the Immortal Emperor.

They knew very well that the formation mastered by "Luo Xue" was comparable to the ancient sects of the ancient times.

...those ancient sects that still frighten them even though they have been extinct for countless tens of thousands of years.

If it weren't for the fact that Manhuang's hatred for the Ancient Clan was deep-rooted and the Ancient Clan's spies had been unable to penetrate deeply, they would have long ago sent people to assassinate this young man who hadn't even reached the Nascent Soul stage.

Other elders only suspected that there were problems with the clan protection formation after Bei Minghu's transformation, but Bei Minghu, who was the main operator of the transformation of the formation, knew very well that someone was interfering.

The only person he could think of who had the ability to influence the formation was the Lord of the Wilderness "Luo Xue".

For a thing, if you eliminate all impossibilities, the remaining result, no matter how incredible it is, is the only inevitable one.

"...You mean, this is revenge from the wilderness?"

Bei Mingtian's eyes suddenly became sharp, and then he subconsciously looked at Nangong Ling.

...It is because the Nangong clan and the wilderness are almost regarded as tied together. The only ancient clan that can go in and out of the wilderness and has a good relationship with the monster tribe is the Nangong clan.

"Senior, don't you believe what I say?" Nangong Ling raised his eyebrows.

Of course she knew that the ancient Beiming clan must be well aware of the relationship between the Nangong clan and the wilderness. Given her status in the Nangong clan, she should have had some contact with "Luo Xue".

So, at this moment, the only person related to "Luo Xue" is myself.

But Nangong Ling must stay out of it. As long as she doesn't admit it, the Beiming Ancient Clan won't be able to do anything to her. At least it won't bring any trouble to Luo Xue.

At this time, Nangong Ling already knew vaguely that the person who had arrived at the Beiming Ancient Clan should be the Luo Xue whom he knew.

As for the one in the wilderness, Luo Xue had vaguely told her the other party's identity, and they had a close relationship, so maybe he was there too at this time.

At this moment, an elder of the tribe stood up hesitantly and said in a low voice,

"It's just... Chief, Xiao Hu, I have received accurate information that the Lord of the Wilderness has reached some kind of secret deal with the Immortal Emperor, and she is now being held hostage in the Imperial Capital."

Although the Lord of the Wilderness nominally loved to study, he specifically requested the Immortal Emperor to allow him to study in the most prestigious Imperial Academy in the imperial capital, so that he could transcend the great Dao as soon as possible and enter the realm of immortality.

Only by reaching the state of Yuhua can one truly possess an almost endless lifespan. This is the true separation between immortals and mortals.

All the talents that you are proud of are nothing before you enter the realm of enlightenment.

Of course, the ancient clan naturally scoffed at this wording.

What studying, what further study, it's just house arrest in disguise.

"Luo Xue" is the lord of the wilderness. Even if he is not recognized, he is still the nominal leader.

But when he arrived in the imperial capital, he was just an inconspicuous Nascent Soul cultivator. How useful could his unorthodox skills in formations be?

If the ancient clans had been able to free up their hands during this period of time, they would have planned the assassination long ago. As long as they were not in the wilderness, they would have a way to carry out the assassination even if they lived in the imperial palace.

"This news...are you sure?" Bei Mingtian frowned slightly.

"These are reports from countless informants, so they can't be false." The clan elder lowered his head even more.

"Even so, I still stick to my original opinion." Bei Ming Hu shook his head and said, "I would rather believe that this is a trap set by the Immortal Emperor and Luo Xue than to believe that there is someone else behind this."

Hearing these words, everyone looked at each other. Nangong Ling's expression changed slightly, and his eyes looking at Bei Minghu became a little more serious.

This person... is quite dangerous.

Noticing Nangong Ling's gaze, Bei Ming Hu simply smiled faintly in response, then bowed to Bei Ming Tian and said,

"Clan leader, I am willing to pledge my military orders and bet my ten thousand years of cultivation to help you find this person and avenge this serious injury."

"it is good!"

Without waiting for the other elders to react, Bei Mingtian shouted loudly, and his gaze towards Bei Minghu changed from anger to admiration.

With this generation of descendants, the ancient Beiming clan will never have to worry about having no successors.

"Seven days, how about that?" Bei Mingtian shook his rough beard and continued, "If you can't find this person within seven days, you will go to the Zongfa Palace to receive the military order yourself!"

"No, Patriarch." Unexpectedly, Bei Ming Hu shook his head.

Then, with Bei Mingtian’s faintly angry expression, he stretched out three fingers and said, “Three days, the Utogu Clan…Uto Chengke will not leave us much time.

"If I still cannot find this person within three days, I will be incompetent. This ten thousand years of cultivation... should be punished."

“Hahahahaha… no problem, you are worthy of being my Bei Ming disciple, you should be so confident!” Bei Mingtian laughed, “Okay! Then three days!”

"I, the young Bei Ming Hu, will obey your orders and live up to your trust." Bei Ming Hu bowed, then looked at Nangong Ling and said with a smile, "Miss Nangong, I'll trouble you to supervise me these few days."

Supervise you...Who is supervising whom?

Nangong Ling rolled his eyes and said calmly,

"What if I say no?"

"Then I will have to resort to rougher means," Bei Ming Hu shook his head regretfully, then smiled and said, "Of course, of course, not to you, you are a distinguished guest of the Bei Ming Ancient Clan.

"I mean... to this little sister named 'Luo Xue'."

Nangong Ling's pupils shrank slightly, and he smiled coldly.

"What has she got to do with me? You can be as rude as you want."

The opponent was testing him. As long as Nangong Ling showed any hesitation, he would seize this weakness without hesitation and continue to attack him.

Bei Ming Hu is like a cold and poisonous snake. If he finds a weak spot, you will be faced with endless temptations, and at the critical moment he can kill you with one blow.

...is a truly formidable opponent.

Fortunately, although the Beiming Ancient Clan now knows that Nangong Ling knows "Luo Xue", they don’t know the extent of their relationship.

Whether this deliberate avoidance of the topic was due to fear of getting into trouble or intentional protection, Nangong Ling maintained an ambiguous attitude, and even Bei Ming Hu was a little hesitant.

"Hehe... Miss Nangong, why do you have to have this attitude? I was just joking." Bei Minghu narrowed his eyes, and the gleam in his eyes made people a little unpredictable.

"In this matter, it should be me, oh no, it is the Beiming Ancient Clan who asked for help from Miss Nangong." Beiming Hu bowed to Nangong Ling seriously and said, "Miss Nangong, please help me."

Nangong Ling was a little confused by Bei Ming Hu's sudden change of attitude. She frowned slightly, thought for a while, and said,

"To the Beiming Ancient Clan, I am just an outsider. How can I supervise you?"

"It is precisely because you are an outsider that I am asking for this." Bei Ming Hu smiled slightly, his expression meaningful, "Besides... Miss Nangong, you should be interested in 'Luo Xue', so I owe you a favor."

After many attempts, although Bei Minghu could not be sure of the relationship between Nangong Ling and Luo Xue, he was certain that the two sides must have had some contact, and at least knew each other much better than himself.

After weighing the pros and cons, Bei Ming Hu decided to lower himself and ask Nangong Ling to come forward.

What's more...the clan has never been united. There are many Bei Ming disciples who are eyeing Bei Ming Hu covetously. Now that such a big thing has happened, it will not be enough to appease the clan leader alone.

With Nangong Ling around, I can avoid some gossip.

"...Whatever."

Nangong Ling's expression was a little stern. She really wanted to know whether it was Luo Xue who caused all this, and... whether her sister was now in the Beiming Ancient Clan.

But...logically speaking, unless there is someone from the Crossing the Sea Realm to lead the way, there is no reason for them to rush from the Nangong Holy Land to the Beiming Ancient Clan so quickly.

After getting Nangong Ling's consent, several elders of the Beiming clan who were ready to make a move restrained themselves again and did not stand up to explicitly accuse Beiming Hu of his mistakes.

The Nangong clan is the most mysterious of the many ancient clans, hiding countless secrets from the ancient times. Now they need a favor from the other party, and it would be embarrassing to fall out with Nangong Ling when he shows up.

"Thank you, Miss Nangong."

Bei Ming Hu bowed deeply again and turned to look at the elders of the Bei Ming clan.

The smile on his face was still the same, brilliant and fake.

"Please ask all the elders to prepare to fight against the ancient Yudu tribe first. After I have dealt with this matter, I will definitely repair the formation and will never put the ancient Beiming tribe in danger."

Having said this, and with the military order Bei Ming Hu issued to the clan leader, the elders of the Bei Ming clan said no more. Those who were dissatisfied waved their sleeves and left, while the supporters looked at Bei Ming Hu worriedly before slowly retreating.

Bei Mingtian had already returned to the cave to recuperate, and only Bei Minghu and Nangong Ling were left at the center of the formation.

"Miss Nangong, let's move to the Tianzi array's center first. From my perception, there should be something wrong with the Tianzi array's center." Bei Minghu said slowly.

Nangong Ling nodded slightly, looking in the direction of the center of the Tianzi formation, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

I just hope...the thing I'm most worried about won't happen.

......

At the same time, somewhere in the Beiming Ancient Clan.

After realizing that there was another will within the formation, Luo Xue directly left the formation and did not continue to drive the formation nodes that she could control.

As long as he lies in hiding, the opponent who has no attainments in formation will have no way of finding him, and he will have no way of changing the situation where these formation nodes are under his control.

Through the Nangong family, Luo Xue has learned the truth about the Beiming clan protection formation, and also vaguely guessed what kind of crisis the Beiming ancient clan is facing.

"The closest to the Beiming Ancient Clan's base should be the Yudu Ancient Clan, which was not helped by the Nangong Clan and was occupied some time ago..."

Luo Xue was looking at the map and pondering. Nangong Mian and Dugu Xue beside her were squatting on the ground eating the portable spiritual food that Luo Xue had prepared earlier, to recover the energy consumed by being used as circuit boards for half a day.

And Luo Xue herself never became the circuit board of the formation from beginning to end, so there was no question of any consumption.
