Chapter 2521 - 2521: The Wanyan Family's Secret

Listening to Wanyan Hongsheng's words, Nalan Jingwei was unmoved, and he calmly said, "I will still get back at the Wanyan Family for what they've done. The acts you've committed are not forgotten. Today, I am simply collecting some interest; as for the rest, I'll come for them slowly in the future!"

"Well said!" Wanyan Hongsheng laughed again, slowly looking at Nalan Jingwei. He said, "If you want revenge on the Wanyan Family, count me in."

"You have no chance!" Nalan Jingwei shook his head.

"I know I have no chance because I can never leave this factory zone alive!" Wanyan Hongsheng said, "But I can help you deal with the Wanyan Family."

"You can't fool me like this; today, I definitely won't let you go!" Nalan Jingwei said straightforwardly.

"I didn't say to let me go; I just want to tell you something!" Wanyan Hongsheng laughed, "I know I'm doomed, but I also want revenge on the Wanyan Family. Therefore, I can only rely on you to execute a bit of my revenge!"

"How will you use my hand for revenge?" Nalan Jingwei asked solemnly.

"It's simple..." Wanyan Hongsheng replied, "I can tell you a significant secret, one that threatens the Wanyan Family's very existence!"

Nalan Jingwei's brow furrowed as Wanyan Hongsheng's words had a substantial attraction for him. It should be noted that Wanyan Hongsheng, after all, is a powerful figure within the Wanyan Family and certainly knows a lot about its inner workings. The secret he mentions could truly threaten the Wanyan Family's survival. Nalan Jingwei has always wanted revenge but lacks the power. If he could obtain this secret, would it make revenge possible?

"What secret?" Nalan Jingwei asked solemnly.

Wanyan Hongsheng smiled slowly and said, "You know about the Wanyan Family's dungeon, right?"

Nalan Jingwei's expression changed; he had previously been imprisoned in the Wanyan Family's dungeon and naturally knew of it.

Seeing Nalan Jingwei's expression, Wanyan Hongsheng laughed again and said, "You know the dungeon, but do you know that the Wanyan Family also has a Sky Prison?"

"Sky Prison?" Nalan Jingwei slightly frowned and said, "What is the Sky Prison?"

Wanyan Hongsheng said, "The Sky Prison is a very secretive prison hidden in Xiliang Mountain. It holds many important people, people who are very important to the Wanyan Family!"

"Xiliang Mountain?" Nalan Jingwei paused and said, "You want me to release the people trapped in this prison, so they can deal with the Wanyan Family?"

"Releasing these people is meaningless; altogether, they couldn't budge the Wanyan Family!" Wanyan Hongsheng said, "I want you to release the two people imprisoned in the deepest part of this dungeon!"

"Who are these two people? They have the capability to destroy the Wanyan Family?" Nalan Jingwei asked in wonder.

"Their abilities are weak, yet the person behind them..." Wanyan Hongsheng coldly laughed and said, "Not just the Wanyan Family, even if all the forces of Huaxia were combined, they wouldn't be her match!"

"Is that so?" Nalan Jingwei's expression changed as he stared at Wanyan Hongsheng and asked, "Who exactly is the person behind them?"

"Hahaha..." Wanyan Hongsheng laughed and said, "Once you release those two individuals, you will know. Once that person appears, everything under the heavens will change. All existing forces will be redefined. Everything the Wanyan Family controls won't be enough to fend off her wrath!"

"Really?" Nalan Jingwei said with suspicion, "The Wanyan Family has millions of Long-toothed Rats, over two or three hundred Peak Masters, six Beyond The Pinnacle masters, and the Scabbard of the Minghong Knife, yet they can't stand against just one person?"

"I told you, release those two people and you will understand." Wanyan Hongsheng replied.

Nalan Jingwei furrowed his brows tightly, as Wanyan Hongsheng's cryptic words filled him with confusion. Who could possibly be that powerful? According to Wanyan Hongsheng's description, this person's strength could turn the heavens upside down, able to control the world with no problem. Yet, why had he never heard of such a person? Could it be a hidden master secluded from the world?

At this time, Wanyan Hongsheng leaned against a machine, from his mouth trickled a stream of blood, flowing down his lips, but there was still a hint of a smile on his face.

"It seems you still won't get your revenge!" Wanyan Hongsheng's form grew weaker and his voice quieter, "Because I ultimately died by my own hand. If you want revenge, go find the Wanyan Family. Remember, Sky Prison! Sky Prison!"

When speaking the last few words, Wanyan Hongsheng's voice was barely audible. He slowly collapsed onto the machine, a master passed like this.

Nalan Jingwei looked at Wanyan Hongsheng, his brows furrowed tightly. To not die at his hands, Wanyan Hongsheng had broken his own meridians, something completely unforeseen by Nalan Jingwei. Honestly, Wanyan Hongsheng dying this way didn't give Nalan Jingwei any sense of revenge. Instead, Wanyan Hongsheng's words made his heart stir.

If he wants revenge on the Wanyan Family, he certainly doesn't have the capability, but he must seek other means. Perhaps, just as Wanyan Hongsheng said, releasing the two people in the Sky Prison to draw out the figure behind them to oppose the Wanyan Family might just enable revenge. During this process, he could take the opportunity to get acquainted with those two individuals, possibly even earning their support. In doing so, he would have an invincible figure backing him. When the Wanyan Family is exterminated and he has this support, he could crush the forces on Ye Qing's side!

Thinking about this, a spark of intelligence flashed in Nalan Jingwei's eyes. In today's world, the Nalan Family's strength is too weak; if he could find a powerful force to support him, it would be immensely beneficial.

"Wanyan Family!" Nalan Jingwei coldly uttered these three words, tightly clasped his fist, and stood up, walking out of the abandoned factory. Wanyan Hongsheng was dead, this matter had reached its conclusion, and he wouldn't take Wanyan Hongsheng's body to the Wanyan Family for a reward; he only sought revenge.

At the same time, outside Mount Wendao, the Wanyan Family members gathered together.

This battle cost the Wanyan Family dearly. The Long-toothed Rat Swarm was almost entirely wiped out, not to mention the twenty or more Peak Masters who died in combat. Many of those who previously sided with the Wanyan Family quietly departed, realizing the Wanyan Family's downfall was imminent, so they dispersed in different directions.

The three Beyond The Pinnacle masters of the Wanyan Family arrived with Wanyan Hongfeng, but the members of the Wanyan Family were not excited upon seeing Wanyan Hongfeng; in fact, they were somewhat fearful. At Mount Wendao, Wanyan Hongfeng killed several members of the Wanyan Family and drained their blood, causing apprehension among them, as this Family Head was not the same as the one they knew before!

Wanyan Second Master also fled amidst the chaos; he was the first to run away, knowing Wanyan Hongfeng wouldn't spare him, so he didn't dare linger. He didn't meet up with the Wanyan Family members afterwards. The Wanyan Family still somehow remained under the control of the three Beyond The Pinnacle masters, avoiding complete collapse. However, their strength has waned, the Family Head's authority has diminished, and the Wanyan Family now faces its greatest crisis.

After Wanyan Hongfeng returned, he didn't have time to deal with these matters and immediately went into seclusion.

At Mount Wendao, Wanyan Hongfeng's Form Transformation power was shattered, causing severe injuries to him. Although he could return, he needs time to restore his body.

Wanyan Hongfeng's current situation is dire, especially as many of the family's members have grown doubtful of him. He must quickly heal to continue maintaining firm control over the Wanyan Family.

Upon entering the secluded chamber, Wanyan Hongfeng immediately retrieved the Heavenly Cluster Clouds. In his current state, trying to recover on his own would take at least a year. However, the Heavenly Cluster Clouds can quickly restore his power.

Of course, there is a cost attached. Forcibly drawing from the Heavenly Cluster Clouds' power vastly diminishes its strength. If used gradually, it could last many years. Excessive depletion would render the Heavenly Cluster Clouds powerless, eventually becoming a useless Bone Stick. The Heavenly Cluster Clouds of Iga-ryu had faced this cause, essentially becoming abandoned, unable to fulfill Iga-ryu's development.

But now, Wanyan Hongfeng has no choice. To recover his strength, he must resort to this method. He anticipates that Ye Qing and others will launch a full assault on the Wanyan Family; if he doesn't swiftly recover, when Ye Qing arrives, he'll be at an even greater disadvantage.

Wanyan Hongfeng deeply inhaled, grasped the Heavenly Cluster Clouds with both hands, and began absorbing its power.

The white glow from the Heavenly Cluster Clouds visibly entered Wanyan Hongfeng's hands, replenishing his lost strength. However, once the power entered his body, Wanyan Hongfeng immediately sensed something amiss. Despite this force entering his body, it didn't reinforce his strength; he felt nothing from it, as it vanished completely, with no trace to be found.

"What's going on?" Wanyan Hongfeng exclaimed in surprise and absorbed a little more, but the outcome remained the same. The power entered his body and disappeared, akin to a clay ox entering the sea with no trace.

"This... this... this..." Wanyan Hongfeng was baffled, questioning what was wrong with his body, as to where this power could have gone.

Wanyan Hongfeng operated his entire network of meridians but couldn't feel a thing, as the power seemed to have vanished into thin air. After a silent moment, Wanyan Hongfeng's expression suddenly changed, and he spoke solemnly, "Five-Winged God, is this your doing?"
