101: The powerful Tang Tian!

After moving into Lord Xiaoyaos Estate and further understanding Nie Keke's family, Tang Tian completely lost his temper.

It must be said that Lord Xiaoyaos Estate was truly not just ordinarily poor.

Not only were there no resources here, but there were also only a few servants.

Besides an old butler, there were only four guards and four maids.

Beyond that, there were no other servants.

“No choice, our Lord Xiaoyaos Estate truly has no resources left,” Nie Keke said with a bitter smile, sighing.

“Actually, isn’t it not difficult to earn resources?”

“Grandpa Nie is restricted by rules and cannot earn resources, but now you can earn resources through Artifact Refining, can’t you?” Tang Tian slowly said, staring at Nie Keke’s peerless face.

“Mm-hmm.” Nie Keke nodded and smiled lightly, her eyes full of excitement.

Artifact Refining?

This was indeed a good way to earn resources.

Now, she had obtained the Legacy of the Icefire Demon Emperor.

Artifact Refining was not difficult for her at all.

“Next, I’m going to start preparing for Artifact Refining.” Nie Keke blinked, her eyes full of determination.

Her heart was also full of anticipation.

“Good.” Tang Tian smiled and nodded.

Artifact Refining?

Actually, he could do it too.

After all, he had comprehended all the Dao in the world.

Naturally, this included the Dao of Artifacts.

Or rather, the Dao of Artifact Refining?

It was just that he, who was always lazy, truly had no interest in Alchemy, Artifact Refining, or making inscriptions and Formation Plates.

At least, he had no such interest unless absolutely necessary.

Who made him not lack resources at all?

In fact, Nie Keke wasn't just talking.

Soon, she began to try Artifact Refining.

As for Tang Tian, he moved out his armchair, lay beside her, and feigned sleep.

From time to time, he would also glance at the busy Nie Keke.

When he saw that Nie Keke didn't take much time to successfully condense artifact fire and then systematically began to refine weapons without any errors, Tang Tian couldn't help but marvel.

This girl’s talent was indeed incredibly powerful!

He estimated that it wasn't much inferior to his own, right?

What Tang Tian didn't notice was that high above, Lord Xiaoyao was hidden in the Void Realm.

He was watching Nie Keke!

“It seems Ke Ke’s Artifact Refining talent is very strong!”

“Heaven truly blesses our Lord Xiaoyaos Estate.”

“Perhaps she can become the first female Emperor in the history of our Demon Race?” Lord Xiaoyao muttered to himself, staring at Nie Keke’s back.

However, when he got to the end, he couldn't help but frown.

He knew very well in his heart that if everything followed the rules, Nie Keke becoming the new Emperor of the Demon Race was a certainty.

The problem was, would the The Royal Family follow the rules?

He didn’t even need to think to know that was impossible.

It seems I need to be prepared to break ties at any time!

Lord Xiaoyao sighed deeply, his expression undeniably complex.

If he could, he also didn't want to break ties with the The Royal Family.

It was just that their actions had always been too excessive.

His son and daughter-in-law were missing, which might have been their doing.

In recent years, they had also targeted his precious granddaughter relentlessly.

Thinking of these things, Lord Xiaoyao felt extremely angry.

It was precisely because of this that he had prepared to break ties.

He now felt how ridiculous his past loyalty had been!

An hour later, Nie Keke held a weapon in her hand.

A long sword radiating powerful Devilish Qi!

This was a Heaven-Grade weapon!

“Tang Tian, am I awesome?” Nie Keke asked with a beaming smile, looking at Tang Tian.

“Indeed awesome!” Tang Tian nodded and said, his face showing undisguised admiration.

How many Artifact Refiners in the Dongtian Realm could refine Heaven-Grade weapons?

Not to mention, this was Nie Keke's first time refining a weapon.

Moreover, this long sword was a top-tier Heaven-Grade weapon!

A superb Heaven-Grade weapon!

Or rather, Heaven Rank?

At the same time, he couldn't help but secretly ponder.

He wondered what level of weapon he could refine if he were to refine one now?

What about Medicinal Pills and Formations?

Without trying, Tang Tian truly had no rough idea in his heart.

“Hehe!” Receiving Tang Tian's affirmation, Nie Keke’s pretty face was filled with a happy smile.

Afterward, she continued to busy herself, beginning to refine various weapons.

Without a doubt, Nie Keke was preparing to help Lord Xiaoyaos Estate earn resources.

Selling weapons was indeed a good method.

Especially since the weapons she refined were not of a low grade!

While Nie Keke was busy, Tang Tian couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

At this moment, he was pondering a question.

It had been quite a while since he arrived here.

He wondered how he could return to the other side of the Endless Continent?

Thinking of this question, Tang Tian felt incredibly perplexed.

Perhaps, when the time was right, he could ask Grandpa Nie.

Tang Tian felt that Lord Xiaoyao definitely knew.

In the blink of an eye, time reached late night.

Nie Keke already had more than a dozen weapons in her hand.

Without exception, they were all superb Heaven-Grade weapons.

As time passed, her refining speed became faster and faster.

If it weren't for the lack of Artifact Refining Materials, she might have been able to refine even more powerful weapons.

“So tired!” Nie Keke stretched lazily and said.

Then, she sat down beside Tang Tian, resting her chin on her hands as she looked at him.

“Tang Tian, can you tell me about the situation on the other side of the Endless Continent?” Nie Keke asked with a blink, her face showing curiosity.

“Yes.”

“On the other side, there are Cultivators of all races, but mainly the Human Race.”

“Besides being a bit richer in resources, there doesn't seem to be anything special.”

“The various forces and races are also full of conflicts, with a lot of slaughter every day and…” Tang Tian nodded gently and slowly said.

As he spoke, Tang Tian fell silent.

Perhaps because she was too tired, this girl actually fell asleep leaning on his shoulder.

Tang Tian turned his head to look at the girl beside him, feeling a mix of amusement and helplessness.

At the same time, he was also very curious.

He wondered how long it would be before the Demon Race launched a major war?

What would the Endless Continent be like then?

Thinking of these questions, Tang Tian felt very curious.

Also, he was incredibly anticipatory.

As the saying goes, heroes emerge in troubled times.

At that time, perhaps the Emperor Clan Tang Family could take the opportunity to expand?

As for being a savior or anything like that, Tang Tian had no interest.

The Cultivation world was inherently very cruel!

He didn't think he was that great!

Looking up at the sky, Tang Tian's thoughts were manifold.

“Hmm?”

Suddenly, Tang Tian looked in a certain direction as if he sensed something.

Someone in the Void Realm?

“Oh?”

Similarly, Lord Xiaoyao also looked at Tang Tian in surprise.

He truly hadn't expected Tang Tian to discover him.

This kid, Ke Ke said he was only at the Peak of Dongtian Realm Ninth Heaven, wasn't he?

With such strength, he could discover him?

Thinking about it, Lord Xiaoyao felt a sense of disbelief.

The next moment, Lord Xiaoyao appeared in front of Tang Tian.

“You discovered me?” Lord Xiaoyao asked with a marvel, sizing up Tang Tian.

“Yes!” Tang Tian nodded lightly, not intending to deny it.

Although he had guessed it earlier, hearing Tang Tian's affirmative answer, Lord Xiaoyao was still incredibly shocked.

This kid, it seems I still underestimated him!

Surname Tang?

Wait!

Could it be that he was the grandson of that person?

Thinking of a possibility, Lord Xiaoyao immediately became unsettled.

“Tang Tian, which force do you come from?” Lord Xiaoyao asked, unable to resist his curiosity, staring into Tang Tian’s eyes.

“My Grandpa is named Tang Tai!” Tang Tian shrugged, not intending to hide anything.

“Hiss!” Hearing Tang Tian's answer, Lord Xiaoyao couldn't help but gasp.

Tang Tai?

This person was one of the most powerful Great Emperors on that side.

His strength was not necessarily weaker than his own!

Even more terrifying, Tang Tai was also a Pill Emperor!

A famous Pill Emperor!

Didn't the previous intelligence from the Demon Race say that this person's grandson was a good-for-nothing?

He hadn't expected him to be a Prodigy.

A Prodigy among Prodigies!

Terrifying!

In Lord Xiaoyao's eyes, Tang Tian's talent was very terrifying.

After all, this kid's background was something even he couldn't see through!

“Brother Tang is very formidable!” Lord Xiaoyao said with emotion, having recovered.

“With your talent, surpassing him is only a matter of time!” He then added, also with emotion.

“Grandpa Nie overpraises me!” Tang Tian smiled, speaking modestly.

However, in his heart, he had long ceased to limit his goals to the Endless Continent.

Now, his combat power was already unrivaled below the Quasi-Emperor.

He estimated that it wouldn't take much time to sweep through the Great Emperor Realm.

That would be the time for him to leave the Endless Continent.

Tang Tian secretly thought to himself.

But thoughts were thoughts; he would absolutely not say these things out loud.

Celebrating prematurely was not Tang Tian's character.

“I wonder, how does your Tang Family view the Demon Race and the situation on the Endless Continent?” After a moment of silence, Lord Xiaoyao looked at Tang Tian and asked calmly.

“I don’t know how my parents and Grandpa view it.”

“But me, I think the so-called distinction between good and evil is a very ridiculous thing.”

“As long as one has a clear conscience, as long as one doesn’t indiscriminately kill innocents, isn’t contending for resources very normal?” Tang Tian said with a calm smile, his face tranquil.

Hearing Tang Tian's words, Lord Xiaoyao's eyes lit up.

This kid was interesting.

Not bad!

Haha!

Lord Xiaoyao, who already greatly admired Tang Tian, now admired him even more.

After chatting for a while longer, Lord Xiaoyao bid farewell and left.

Tang Tian, meanwhile, calmly watched Nie Keke, who was nestled beside him, lost in thought.

In the Demon Race's Imperial Palace.

At this moment, Nie Feng was quietly listening to his subordinate's report.

“You mean, Lord Xiaoyaos Estate has had no activity for the past two days?” Nie Feng asked, glancing at a black-clad man in front of him.

“Yes, Your Majesty!” The black-clad man nodded and replied.

“What about the others…?”

Then, he spoke with hesitation.

“What’s wrong with the others?”

Nie Feng asked, looking at the man in black with confusion.

“They are all investigating the deaths of the Prodigies they previously trained with, and also…”

The man in black slowly said, looking at Nie Feng.

“Enough, I understand.”

The man in black’s words were cut off by Nie Feng before he could finish.

At this moment, Nie Feng was extremely vexed.

Lord Xiaoyao seemed intent on tearing off all pretenses with the The Royal Family?

The others also seemed to be stirring restlessly?

Thinking of these issues, Nie Feng felt a headache coming on.

Especially now, as the time for selecting a new Emperor was drawing nearer.

Who should his faction put forward now?

The most suitable candidate, the Sixth Prince, was already dead.

And the others… “Has that little girl from Lord Xiaoyaos Estate not left her residence?”

“Didn’t I tell you to get rid of her whenever you had the chance?”

Nie Feng frowned and asked, glancing at the man in black.

“No!”

“Moreover, Lord Xiaoyao has been openly and secretly protecting her, so we haven’t had any chance to act.”

“Unless someone can draw Lord Xiaoyao away.”

The man in black shook his head and explained.

“Draw Lord Xiaoyao away?”

Nie Feng murmured, falling into deep thought.

It wouldn’t be easy to draw Lord Xiaoyao away!

Especially since he was already suspicious of the The Royal Family.

“…”

…Unconsciously, a night passed in a flash.

As a new day dawned, Tang Tian and Nie Keke left Lord Xiaoyaos Estate.

Because Nie Keke planned to sell the Heaven-Grade artifacts she refined to exchange for some resources.

Lord Xiaoyao approved of this.

He even had four guards from Lord Xiaoyaos Estate secretly protect the two of them.

Walking out of Lord Xiaoyaos Estate, Tang Tian couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

The Demon Race’s living environment was too harsh, wasn't it?

Lord Xiaoyaos Estate was located in the Demon Race Imperial City!

Yet, this Imperial City was barely comparable to an ordinary Holy Land on the other side of the Endless Continent.

One must know, this was the most prosperous place in the Demon Race!

No wonder the Demon Race repeatedly attacked the other side of the Endless Continent, attempting to plunder resources and seize territory.

It’s worth mentioning that as Tang Tian walked out of Lord Xiaoyaos Estate, he had already noticed the four guards secretly protecting them.

However, Tang Tian had no intention of exposing them.

Having four Saints secretly protecting them would just happen to help deal with some trouble.

If there was any real danger, as long as a Quasi-Emperor didn't appear, he could still easily take Ke Ke and retreat safely.

“Tang Tian, what are you thinking about? Why didn’t you respond when I called you a few times?”

Just as Tang Tian was lost in thought, Nie Keke tugged on his sleeve and asked with a pout.

Soon, Tang Tian's thoughts returned to reality.

“Nothing.”

Tang Tian chuckled awkwardly and replied.

“What’s wrong?”

Then, he looked at Nie Keke curiously and asked.

“We’re here.”

Nie Keke said, pointing to a magnificent building in front of them.

“Alright.”

Tang Tian nodded, looking at the building before him.

Demon Clan First Auction House?

A line of large characters was written in front of the building’s entrance.

“Ke Ke, are you planning to auction the weapon in your hand?”

Tang Tian asked, looking at Nie Keke.

“Yes!”

Nie Keke nodded, not denying it.

Just as the two were about to enter the Demon Clan First Auction House, a group of figures suddenly blocked their path.

The leader was a pale-faced young man with an arrogant expression.

“Princess Ke Ke, who is this boy?”

The young man asked, looking at Tang Tian with hostility, then turning to Nie Keke.

“What does it have to do with you?”

“Also, don’t call me so intimately!”

Nie Keke said expressionlessly, glancing indifferently at the young man.

“You…”

Nie Keke’s words made the young man tremble with anger.

However, in the next moment, his face twisted even more with rage.

One had to admit, Tang Tian’s ability to annoy people was truly remarkable.

As soon as the young man appeared, coupled with his attitude, it wasn’t hard for Tang Tian to guess that this was someone who admired Nie Keke.

And now?

Tang Tian, who had originally just been walking shoulder-to-shoulder with Nie Keke, now directly put his arm around her slender waist.

Nie Keke not only didn’t refuse but also had a genuinely happy smile on her pretty face.

She already liked Tang Tian very much, so why would she refuse his intimate gesture?

“Brat, who are you?”

“What faction do you come from?”

The young man growled in a cold voice, glaring at Tang Tian.

If looks could kill, Tang Tian would probably have been torn to shreds.

“What does it have to do with you?”

Tang Tian said expressionlessly, looking calmly at the young man.

Frankly, Tang Tian truly didn’t take this young man seriously.

Just Yin Yang Realm First Heaven!

Weak, too weak!

What was there to care about?

Tang Tian didn’t even bother to ask about the other party’s background.

It was Nie Keke who directly transmitted a message, telling Tang Tian.

This young man was the son of the Ninth Prince?

Nie Kun?

“You’re looking for death!”

“In the Imperial City, someone actually dares to provoke me, Nie Kun, without knowing his place?”

“Do you not want to live?”

Nie Kun said with Killing Intent, glaring coldly at Tang Tian.

“Those who know will know you are the Ninth Prince’s son, a minor prince.”

“Those who don’t know might think you’re the Demon Race Crown Prince or even the Devil Emperor! So arrogant?”

Tang Tian said mockingly, looking at Nie Kun with disdain.

Hearing Tang Tian’s words, Nie Kun’s expression changed drastically.

Tang Tian’s words were truly vicious, practically putting him on a spit!

Not just Nie Kun, the reactions of the people behind him were almost the same.

Even some Cultivators watching the excitement around them couldn’t help but click their tongues in amazement.

They all looked at Tang Tian with strange eyes!

Who exactly was this person?

To actually offend Nie Kun, this little tyrant, so brazenly?

Only Nie Keke remained calm.

She knew a thing or two about Tang Tian’s strength.

Nie Kun was nothing but a joke in front of him.

Plus, given his background, it would be strange if he showed respect to the Demon Clan Royal Family!

So, what was there to be surprised about his behavior?

“Don’t talk nonsense!”

With great difficulty, Nie Kun gritted his teeth and managed to squeeze out this sentence.

“Kill this brat for me!”

Then, he waved his hand.

Immediately, Tang Tian was amused.

However, his eyes were extremely cold.

Kill him?

Ridiculous!

Without any hesitation, Tang Tian directly drew the sword from Nie Keke’s waist.

One sword!

With just one sword, Nie Kun was decapitated.

As for the people who surrounded Tang Tian at his command, Tang Tian showed no mercy either.

They also followed in Nie Kun’s footsteps.

Under the incredulous gazes of countless people around, Tang Tian collected a pile of Storage Rings, then took Nie Keke’s hand and swaggered into the Demon Clan First Auction House.

Staring at their retreating figures, the Cultivators around couldn't help but start discussing.

“Hiss! Who exactly is this young man? How could he be so crazy? He actually killed Nie Kun, that little tyrant, just like that?”

“That’s right! This guy is truly a madman! Now, will the Ninth Prince let him go?”

“Nie Kun is His Majesty’s nephew, so His Majesty probably won’t let this boy off either, right?”

“As the saying goes, a fierce Dragon doesn't cross the river! This young man’s background is probably astonishing, isn’t it? Otherwise, how could he be so powerful?”

“Isn’t that nonsense? The little princess of Lord Xiaoyaos Estate has always been indifferent to the opposite sex. Yet, she’s very intimate with this boy. Isn’t that enough to explain the problem?”

“Perhaps, this boy is the son-in-law of Lord Xiaoyaos Estate!”

“…”

…At the first opportunity, Nie Feng, who was far away in the Imperial Palace, received this news.

Knowing that Nie Kun was killed, and by someone next to Nie Keke, Nie Feng’s expression was quite remarkable.

On one hand, he was extremely angry.

Damn it!

Was this a veiled provocation against him?

On the other hand, he felt a surge of uncertainty and suspicion in his heart.

So?

Did this imply a test from Lord Xiaoyao?

Thinking of these issues, Nie Feng had a terrible headache.

If possible, he really didn’t want to fall out with Lord Xiaoyao.

At least, not in the short term.

“It seems I need to appease Old Ninth!”

Nie Feng sighed softly.

On the other side, the Ninth Prince, Nie Wuwei, was completely enraged.

His heart was filled with Killing Intent towards Tang Tian and even Nie Keke.

Upon learning that Nie Kun was killed, he immediately left his princely estate and headed directly for the Demon Clan First Auction House.

He wanted to kill Tang Tian!

He wanted to kill Nie Keke!

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to quell the hatred in his heart!

In contrast, Lord Xiaoyao was much calmer.

His old self didn't react much to the news of Nie Kun being killed by Tang Tian.

He knew exactly who Nie Kun was.

What else could such an idiot, who provoked the Danwu Great Emperor’s precious grandson, be but seeking death?

At the same time, he greatly admired Tang Tian’s boldness.

To be so powerful on the Demon Race’s territory, on the Demon Clan Royal Family’s territory?

This young man was indeed impressive!

In Lord Xiaoyao’s eyes, if a Cultivator was too timid, he was destined to have no future.

Moreover, he believed that Tang Tian dared to do this because he must have the confidence to retreat safely.

However, regardless, he had already made up his mind.

He was going to protect this young man, Tang Tian.

Who made this young man the savior of his precious granddaughter?

Also, he was the undisputed best choice for his grandson-in-law!

He couldn't be allowed to get into trouble!
