Chapter 828 - 831 Another Soul Wound
In the fifth courtyard of the Ouyang Family, within the internal reception room.
Family Head Ouyang Nan and the venerable Ouyang Zhen were seated in the main seats on the sofa, opposite them sat an elder, a middle-aged, and two youths, three men and one woman.
"Elder Dong, I didn’t expect you to come see me!" said Ouyang Zhen, his gaze complex as he looked at the elder opposite him.
Dong Tianchen, one of the Four Great Families, the patriarch of the Dong Family from S Province, a Semi Venerable Venerable Realm powerhouse.
Alas!
With a slight sigh, Dong Tianchen looked apologetically at Ouyang Zhen: "During the ranking battle of the Four Great Families back then, I was compelled against my will, elder brother Ouyang, I’m sorry!"

"Uncle Dong, I’ve heard about the incident from my father and don’t blame you. During that battle, both of you were fighting for your families.

Ouyang Nan also spoke to comfort him: "Father has always had regrets over these years. The regret is not that he was defeated by you, but that you’ve been avoiding him out of guilt ever since you injured him. Father once said that if he couldn’t see his best brother again in this life, it would be his greatest regret!"
