Two fine horses flew out of the Pan Jiang Town and went straight for the Nanshi Mansion.

"Nan Shao, you are so secretive to my dad, have you already begun mining the primeval vein?"

Only Guo Nan and Dugu Kong knew about the exploitation of primeval vein. Dugu Hong and Dugu Mei were overseeing the Nanshi Mansion, so they were unaware. But they believed that the primeval vein was already in progress.

Guo Nan nodded his head: "Mn, we are currently mining, before the Six Academies Large Competition, I will always be at Nanshi Mansion, and will not go back to Tianwu Academy for the time being. I hope that we can finish mining the primeval vein before the Six Academies Large Competition, and from now on, we don't have to travel back and forth. "

Hearing Guo Nan's words, Dugu Hong thoughtfully looked at Guo Nan and asked: "Nan Shao, after the Six Academies Large Competition, are you going to leave?"

Guo Nan looked at Dugu Hong in slight astonishment, "How did you guess that?"

"Feel it, your heart is no longer in Heavenly Empire, Heavenly Empire is too small to keep you. Actually, someone like you should go to more powerful places and stay in the Heavenly Empire. There is no meaning in that. "

Dugu Hong's face revealed sadness. He knew that she didn't have much time left with Guo Nan.

Guo Nan let out a faint sigh, and said lightly: "Actually, there is still a period of time before the Six Academies Large Competition is done. I still have to deal with Dugu Wuji, Dugu Long and the others from the Tianwu City, and only leave after everything has been settled."

"I hope that day comes a little later."

Dugu Hong smiled faintly. He really wanted to follow Guo Nan, but he knew of his own strength. To Guo Nan, his strength was just a burden. Furthermore, he still wanted to stay in the Heavenly Empire to inherit the assets of the Dugu Family, so she couldn't selfishly leave.

After the primeval vein was mined, it was foreseeable that the Dugu Family would welcome a golden opportunity to develop, so Dugu Hong was not willing to give up.

The only thing he could hope for, was that the day Guo Nan left would come a little later.

The Pan Jiang Town was two days away from the Southern Rock City. Guo Nan and Dugu Hong, using the whip on their carriage, spent two days to reach the Southern Rock City without a hitch.

There were not many people in the Southern Rock City. Amongst the prefectural cities in the Heavenly Empire, it was the most barren and desolate place. After Guo Nan and Dugu Hong entered the Southern Rock City, Guo Nan's expression became somewhat ugly.

"Dugu Hong, have you noticed that something happened to Southern Rock City?" Guo Nan led his horse, squinting his eyes as he looked around at the situation. The pedestrians were in a hurry, and the number of patrolling soldiers wearing Armor s on the streets had increased, which obviously did not bode well.

Dugu Hong was startled for a moment, but immediately nodded: "It does seem to be different. Could it be that Southern Rock City was attacked?"

The two of them looked at each other, mounted their horses and quickly rushed to City Lord's Mansion.

"Dad, did something happen?" The moment the two of them entered City Lord's Mansion, Dugu Kong came forward with an extremely ugly expression.

Dugu Kong looked straight at Guo Nan, his face revealed shame, and cupped his fists towards Guo Nan: "Guo Nan, three days ago, City Lord's Mansion was attacked, and Mei Er was taken away."

Guo Nan had long realized that something was amiss. His face was pale white, and his steps were shaky. But when he returned, Dugu Mei did not come out immediately. Something must have happened.

Even though he had guessed a little, when Dugu Kong said it, he still could not help but roar in fury: "Fuck, Dugu Kong, you can't even protect your own sister, f * cking?"

Dugu Hong revealed a look of fear, and anxiously asked: "Father, my aunt was taken? Who dares to blatantly attack our Dugu Family? Could it be that old bastard Dugu Wuji? "

Dugu Kong laughed bitterly: "The enemies are extremely strong, there are as many as three A Nascent Soul Stage powerhouse s! If they didn't hold back, I'm afraid I would have been killed. I am certain that they are not from the Heavenly Empire. Within the Heavenly Empire, there is not a single force that can send three of their A Nascent Soul Stage powerhouse s at once. Even the Nangong Imperial Clan cannot do it. "

After Guo Nan went into a rage, he quickly calmed himself down. He knew very well that what had happened was already happening. The most important thing was to find out the source of everything and not to get angry at Dugu Kong.

Guo Nan was silent for a moment, then asked coldly: Why did those people capture Dugu Mei?

Dugu Kong laughed bitterly and shook her head, then said: "I don't know either, but this matter, is related to us."

"What do you mean?" Guo Nan asked.

"Before they left, they left behind a few words for us to see in the Holy Dynasty of West Chu."

"Green Willow Palace? What kind of power is that? "

"I know a bit about the Holy Dynasty of West Chu. In the Holy Dynasty of West Chu, there were three major forces, which were the Ancient Dragon Sect s, the Green Willow Palace s, and the Maple Leaf Merchant Guild s. Outside of the three great factions, the 'Hall of Souls' was naturally the strongest. The Hall of Human Souls of the Holy Dynasty of West Chu had the combined strength of three great forces. As for why Green Willow Palace wanted to capture Mei Er, I have already sent people to investigate. " Dugu Kong explained.

Guo Nan pondered for a moment, then waved his hand at Dugu Hong: "Dugu Hong, go rest first, I have something important to discuss with your father."

Dugu Hong felt that it was a little strange. Why did her father suddenly become so powerful?

Carrying a belly full of questions, Dugu Hong dodged to the side.

"Dugu Kong, I'm afraid this matter happened not because of me, but because of you?" Guo Nan looked at Dugu Kong coldly, and said.

Dugu Kong sighed, and said helplessly: "I'm not too sure either. Green Willow Palace has no enmity with our Dugu Family, it's impossible for them to come for no reason. Or it's because your talent attracted the attention of Green Willow Palace, and Green Willow Palace wanted you to join them, that's why she took Dugu Mei away. Or it's because of me, Green Willow Palace found out my identity, but was unable to confirm with me, which is why I took Mei Er away. No matter what, the message they left behind is for us to go to the Green Willow Palace. It is impossible to save Mei Er with just any of us here. We can only work together. "

Guo Nan sneered and said: "Dugu Kong, because of the relationship between Dugu Mei and herself, we should not be her enemies. If you want to play any tricks, just do it to me, why are you implicating Dugu Mei? "

"Guo Nan, what do you mean by that? "You don't believe me?"

"This matter is very strange, I do not dare to not believe it, nor do I dare to completely believe it. In short, no matter who it is, if they want to deal with me, they can. However, since it involves my woman, I will not show mercy. "

"Guo Nan, I want to set out for the Holy Dynasty of West Chu as soon as possible. We will know when the time comes. If you doubt me now, I have nothing to say. "

Guo Nan squinted his eyes and sized Dugu Kong up, then secretly whispered to Xiao Qiang at his feet: "Xiao Qiang, is he lying?"

"I don't think so. I can feel that he is severely injured and needs some time to recover from his injuries. When he spoke, his heartbeat didn't change at all. It didn't seem like he was lying. "

Hearing Xiao Qiang's sound transmission, Guo Nan's complexion looked a little better. He nodded towards Dugu Kong and said: "According to what you said, Dugu Mei should not be in any danger right now, right?"

"No, they want to rope us in. They won't do all that they can."

After the primeval vein mining is finished, and the matter of the Heavenly Empire is over, we will go to the Holy Dynasty of West Chu! No matter what Green Willow Palace wants to do, I will remember this debt. "

Guo Nan's eyes flashed with a dangerous coldness. After he was taken away, his heart burned with anxiety, and he was not as calm as he looked on the surface.

At the same time, a black battleship was quickly flying towards Holy Dynasty of West Chu.
