Nangong Xuan called the servants.
"Quick, go get Lao Wu and Lao Qi and tell them I have something urgent to say."
Nangong Xuan looked at Nangong Xuan: "Brother, what happened to Dad, Mom, and Xiaojiu?"
“No, Tiandao said that after my parents killed Zhu Huai, they chased Wu Ya to Xiyue.
In addition, a group of demons have come to the heavens. Their purpose is unknown, so we must be careful."
"What are they doing in Heaven? To save the Demon Lord? Isn't that courting death?"
Nangong Xuan frowned: "They came to the heaven for only these two reasons.
One is to break into the prison and rescue the devil.
This possibility is not high. No matter how stupid they are, they should know that no one can successfully rescue people in the endless purgatory.
The second is to seek revenge.
They kept chasing Xiaojiu and wanted her to disappear completely, simply because they hated her for ruining their plans.
In other words, they may be coming to seek revenge on us.
Therefore, Heaven reminds us..."
Nangong Xuan suddenly stopped talking here, as if he understood something. After looking at Nangong Xuan, his face darkened.
Soon, the fifth brother Nangong Huan and the seventh brother Nangong Can hurried over together.
"Big brother, second brother, what's the hurry?"
Nangong Xuan said seriously, "The Heavenly Dao sent a message saying two things..."
After Nangong Xuan finished speaking, the smiles disappeared from the two brothers' faces.
"We didn't go after them to settle accounts, but they came after us to seek revenge. This is outrageous.
Big brother, it's up to you what we should do.
While my parents and brothers are away, we have to protect our home."
Nangong Xuan said to the two men, "It doesn't matter to us, we'll just come and fight, but the second brother hasn't recovered yet, so we have to find a way to protect him."
"Big Brother, Fifth Brother, Seventh Brother, don't worry about me, just focus on protecting our home.
My body is in this condition, they shouldn't be coming for me."
Nangong Xuan shook his head: "No matter who they are coming for, we must not take it lightly.
From this moment on, I will stay with you temporarily, eating and living with you."
Nangong Xuan wanted to say something else, but Nangong Xuan raised his hand to interrupt him.
"It's decided. The fifth brother will be responsible for controlling the daily entry and exit of people, and the seventh brother will be responsible for patrolling the entire mansion."
Nangong Huan and Nangong Can agreed and hurried out of the room to make arrangements.
Nangong Xuan followed him out: "Old Five, Old Seven, wait a moment."
Nangong Xuan stepped forward and lowered his voice: "If they are coming for us, they are most likely targeting Lao Er, and the reason may be the same as the reason for killing Xiao Jiu."
Nangong Huan and Nangong Can's faces were completely dark: "We must try our best to protect the second brother."
“Well, first arrange the staff in the mansion, and arrange those with higher cultivation to the second brother’s courtyard.
We can't guard against thieves all day long. After we're prepared, we can relax the restrictions on entering and leaving the palace. If they really come for us, we'll catch them in the trap."
The two brothers nodded.
Careful arrangements were being made in the mansion at full speed.
However, the people from the demon world who were lurking outside the mansion and observing secretly became even more uneasy.
"Captain Canglang, have you noticed that the heavenly soldiers and generals are patrolling more frequently?"
"Yeah, did something happen in the heavens? Or have we been discovered?"
As they were speaking, a group of heavenly soldiers and generals came towards the direction where they were staying.
"What should we do? They are coming." The little minion was so nervous that he wanted to run away.
Canglang scolded softly, "Why are you panicking? They're on patrol, and we're just standing here, not doing anything inappropriate.
Besides, there are not only us here, but also so many immortals here."
The minion was forced to calm down.
Fortunately, the heavenly soldiers and generals walked around the crowd and found nothing unusual, so they moved to other places.
After experiencing this several times, the group gradually became braver.
Just at this moment, two teams of people were delivering things to Nangong Mansion, and they all crowded together before entering.
Canglang said excitedly: "Hurry, our chance has come."
The group of people turned into servants delivering things, slipped into the team, and entered the Nangong Mansion without any danger.
Nangong Huan in the dark looked around carefully and counted the people entering the mansion, secretly saying that it was a close call.
He used his spiritual sense to send a message to Nangong Xuan who was not far away: "Brother, you are right, they really are coming for us."
"Well, be careful."
At this time, the Nangong Mansion, like an ordinary family, looked scattered and unorganized. There were no patrolling soldiers and guards who would check around until they caught someone.
The people from the demon world disguised themselves as servants and dispersed in twos and threes. While doing their work, they quickly learned about the situation in the mansion.
Not long.
Canglang turned into a kitchen servant, brought a tonic soup for Nangong Xuan, and walked into Nangong Xuan's room timidly.
"Master Eldest, Master Second, this servant is here to bring you some nourishing soup."
Nangong Xuan didn't even raise his head: "Bring it here."
The two brothers continued playing chess without even glancing at the servant.
The servant lowered his head and walked to Nangong Xuan. The moment he put down the tonic soup, he pulled out a dagger from under the tray, poured all his strength into the dagger, and stabbed Nangong Xuan fiercely in the vitals.
At the moment when the dagger was about to pierce through her clothes, a domineering spiritual power hit her wrist.
"Clang." The dagger fell to the ground and the person was frozen.
The Nangong Xuan brothers, who had exchanged identities, stood up and returned to their original appearance.
Nangong Xuan ordered: "Let her show her true form."
The guard who had just taken action appeared and flicked his sleeves.
The wolf returned to its normal appearance and was tied up tightly with the immortal rope.
Nangong Xuan gritted his teeth and said, "Should I say you are brave, or just foolish and bold? With your level of cultivation, you dare to sneak into the mansion and assassinate me?"
He waved his hand towards the darkness and said, "Go and find all the demons who have sneaked into the mansion."
"Yes!" After a few responses, the room became quiet.
Nangong Xuan walked up to Canglang and said, "Tell me, why did you want to assassinate my second brother?"
"Did you know we were coming to assassinate you?"
“It was just a guess at first, but I knew it the moment you entered the mansion.
For my second brother's safety, I exchanged identities with him."
Canglang laughed out loud: "The victor is the king and the loser is the bandit. There is no point in talking too much. If you want to kill me, then kill me."
"You won't tell me, right? Then don't blame me for being ruthless."
Nangong Xuan took out a small gadget given to him by Nangong Jiu from his arms, opened it and handed it to Canglang.
"You should know what this is, right? Our Xiaojiu brought it back from the Magic Forest a few years ago.
If you don't behave, I'll let it burrow into your eyes, chew away your brains bit by bit, and slowly kill you in agony."
The wolf was so frightened after just one glance that he begged for mercy.
"I'm telling you, please give me a quick death."
Canglang told the truth: "Someone told Master Wuya that the second son of the Nangong family is second only to the Empress in terms of cultivation, and he is only injured now..."
After saying that, he asked unwillingly, "How could the demon ants recognize you as their master?"
