Although what Ji Tianxing said was relatively general, there was no specific standard.
But Lan Wuji and several clan leaders and clan masters felt inexplicably much better after hearing this.
“Although, the treatment and benefits we received were far less than what we originally expected.
But since we were the first to form an alliance with the Sword God, we are naturally the ones he trusts most."
"We took huge risks and took the lead in forming an alliance with the Sword God with a gamble mentality. This is the treatment we deserve.
Those clans and forces that followed suit and joined later can never hope to compare with us!"
Such thoughts flashed through the minds of all the powerful men.
Now that the matter has come to this, the remaining worries in everyone's hearts have dissipated.
Ji Tianxing waved his hand to dismiss the messenger escort, and said to the clan leaders and sect leaders: "I will handle the matter of the two elders being captured. You should act according to the original plan without delay."
Chief Shenfeng, Lan Wuji and others bowed and saluted one after another, said their orders in unison, and then exited the Guangming Hall one after another.
When they left, several clan leaders were still discussing something in low voices.
On the other side, the internal affairs elders of the Nangong clan had already arranged residences for the powerful men of the eight families.
Several powerful men from each family lived in a palace and kept a distance from each other.
…
After everyone from the eight families left, several elders from the Nangong clan also left one after another.
In the Guangming Hall, only Ji Tianxing, Nangong Buhuo and Nangong Nihuang were left.
It was only then that Ji Tianxing frowned, his face became solemn, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.
Nangong Nihuang couldn't help but persuade him: "Master, are you worried about Nangong Ao and the Eighth Elder?"
Ji Tianxing nodded, indicating his acquiescence.
Nangong Nihuang comforted her voice gently: "Don't worry, didn't you just say that?
Meng Shuai and Qi Yan naturally have other motives for capturing them alive, so their lives are not in danger for the time being."
Nangong Buhuo shook his head and said in a serious tone: "These are probably just Mr. Long's words of comfort, and the two elders are only temporarily safe.
Moreover, Nangong Ao may not die, but the eighth elder may not."
Nangong Nihuang immediately frowned, full of worry, and asked doubtfully: "Why?"
Ji Tianxing explained: "Shuai Meng and the Imperial Master are not that small, and they will never keep an eye on the two elders. Their target is me!
Nangong Ao is my friend, and he is still valuable to Meng Shuai and the Imperial Master, but the Eighth Elder..."
Nangong Nihuang Bingxue was very smart, and she immediately understood what he meant.
"Sir, what you are saying is that... Commander Meng and the Imperial Master will definitely choose to kill the Eighth Elder if they want to torture us to extract a confession, or to frighten us.
Will they keep Nangong Ao and force you to show up at the cost of his life?"
Nangong Buhuo then added, "Before Master Long shows up, they will lay down a trap and lay a heavy ambush in order to kill Master Long in one blow, so that they can get away with it once and for all."
"It's so insidious and despicable!" Nangong Nihuang's face turned cold with anger, and a cold light bloomed in his eyes.
Ji Tianxing said calmly: "If my prediction is correct, Commander Meng will send a summons within two days at the latest, using Nangong Ao as a threat to force me to show up."
Nangong Nihuang's face was full of anxiety and he quickly asked: "Sir, what should we do? Do you have any good ideas?"
Ji Tianxing smiled, with a hint of coldness at the corner of his mouth, and said: "How can we have the best of both worlds to deal with such a despicable but practical method?
I can't sit back and watch Nangong Ao be killed, I must take action to save him!
Head of the Nangong family, please immediately sort out all the news sent back by the two elders and give it to me.
I will set off at midnight tonight to rescue Nangong Ao."
Nangong Buhuo and his daughter both looked surprised and quickly spoke to dissuade them.
"No!"
"It's absolutely impossible!"
"Mr. Long, you know that Commander Meng will lay a heavy ambush and try every possible means to kill you... We will never let you die!"
"Sir, we know that you are worried about Nangong Ao's safety, but you are the leader of the Rebel Alliance and the hope of all of us, so you must not make any mistakes!
I believe that even if Nangong Ao knew about this, he would never agree with your decision!"
"Yes! There are no cowards in our Nangong clan! Nangong Ao would rather commit suicide than put you in a desperate situation!"
Both father and daughter were a little excited. They stopped Ji Tianxing from the left to the right, saying that they would not let him risk his life.
Ji Tianxing was both touched and a little amused, and quickly comforted the father and daughter, saying: "Don't get excited, calm down and think about what I just said.
Firstly, with my strength, no one can hurt me except the five god emperors, even Meng Shuai and the emperor master combined are not enough!
Second point, it may take a day or two for Meng Shuai to send a summons to negotiate with me, and I will set off tonight.
He is not prepared at all. I will sneak into their encirclement a day or two in advance and rescue Nangong Ao.
Of course, the most important thing is that this matter can only be known to you two, and it must be kept secret!"
After hearing his analysis, Nangong Buhuo and Nangong Nihuang calmed down.
When the father and daughter thought about it carefully, they realized that this was true, and most of their worries dissipated.
Nangong Buhuo thought for a moment and said: "Master Long, your analysis is very reasonable, and I also believe in your strength and methods.
But this is your prediction after all, what if Meng Shuai doesn’t do this?”
Ji Tianxing smiled and said: "No matter what Commander Meng wants to do, I must rescue Nangong Ao first."
Nangong Nihuang said again: "Master, it is too dangerous for you to act alone, I want to go with you!
Nangong Ao is not only your friend, but also my clansman and brother."
Ji Tianxing turned to look at her and said seriously: "First, I am not alone, my relatives and friends are all in my artifact space.
Second, it is more concealed for me to act alone, and the chance of successfully rescuing Nangong Ao is greater.
If someone follows you, let alone you, even a ninth-level god-king like your father may become a burden."
"Well……"
This was a disguised way of telling Nangong Nihuang that she would be a burden if she followed him, and she immediately felt embarrassed.
The father and daughter were still a little worried and wanted to tell Ji Tianxing something.
But Ji Tianxing waved his hand and said in a solemn tone: "The clan leaders and Xu Bailian will definitely discuss in private how I will solve this problem.
I hope you will keep it a secret for me and never let the fourth person know.
In addition, I am not in Yanxu Cave Heaven, and Nangong Family Master, you have to take charge of the overall situation and must not cause any trouble!"
Of course Nangong Buhuo knew the seriousness of the matter.
The anti-rebellion alliance has just been formed and has not been tested yet, and there is no cooperation, tacit understanding and loyalty.
Therefore, the next few days will be a very critical moment.
It is certainly dangerous for Ji Tianxing to rescue Nangong Ao, but it is also very important for him to stay in Yanxu Cave to take charge of the overall situation!
