Chapter 1161: Do You Want Me to Summon the Dragon God?
Nan Yun’ao softened: "The regulations state that if a cultivator commits a wrongdoing, they can redeem themselves with spirit stones."
The Dragon Chief sneered: "Does the Nan Family Head think I haven’t read the regulations? It does state that redemption with spirit stones is possible, but only with the victim’s family’s forgiveness. Zhao Chunqiu is someone I took in and raised, akin to a son to me. Do you think I would forgive someone who killed my son?"
Nan Yun’ao’s heart sank instantly. He had heard that the Dragon Chief was unmarried and now over two hundred years old, but still appeared to be in his thirties.
However, he did not know that Zhao Chunqiu, who was killed by Nan Gong, was like a son to the Dragon Chief.
Previously, he had thought of seeking forgiveness from the victim’s family, but upon investigating the victim, he found he was just an orphan and thus did not pursue it further.
Who knew that this orphan had a father-son bond with the Dragon Chief?
No wonder the Dragon Chief was relentless in pursuing Gonggong’s matter.
With a quick thought, Nan Yun’ao immediately devised another plan.
Nan Yun’ao sneered: "So, your relentless pursuit of Gonggong is just your personal vendetta. It turns out Zhao Chunqiu has a father-son relationship with you. If it weren’t for that bond, your priority should have been to consider the bigger picture, accept the Nan Family’s compensation, and let this matter pass."
The Dragon Chief sneered repeatedly: "You don’t need to put a label on me. What personal vendetta? What grudge could I possibly have with Nan Gong? If he hadn’t colluded with a demon cultivator and killed my Dragon Team’s squad, would I be holding him so stubbornly?
You also shouldn’t think of using any evasion policy to have someone else handle this matter because I only said he was akin to my son. We did not officially recognize each other as father and son; it was a close bond, but not a real father-son relationship.
Moreover, many members of the Dragon Team are personally trained by me, brought up and nurtured from a young age. They all see me as a father. Therefore, having a father-son-like bond with me is not unique to Zhao Chunqiu alone.
So, don’t think of using the Mortal World’s legal evasion policy to force me out of handling this matter. That policy does not apply to me. I’m determined to oversee this case!"
Nan Yun’ao’s spine stiffened. He had just thought of the Mortal World’s evasion policy, believing if he proposed the father-son bond between the Dragon Chief and Zhao Chunqiu, the Dragon Chief should step aside.
If the person handling the case was changed, he could pull his son out of trouble.
But unexpectedly, before his plan even began, it failed—though the Dragon Chief and Zhao Chunqiu share a father-son bond, it’s "like a bond" and not a true father-son relationship.
He threatened again: "Dragon Chief, are you really determined to oppose my Nan Family to the end?"
He was somewhat skeptical, wondering if the Dragon Chief was dissatisfied with the compensation. However, the compensation from the Nan Family had already reached the limit of what he could authorize. Anything more would require the approval of the clan elders. And those old folks would never let him use so many resources to save an abolished Nan Gong’s dantian, would they?
Yes, he already knew about Nan Gong’s dantian being abolished by the Dragon Chief. Yet he was confident that the family’s Pill Master could heal Nan Gong.
The Dragon Chief immediately countered: "Nan Family Head, do you really want me to summon the Dragon God?"
The Mortal World is protected by the Dragon God, and he almost forgot that the Dragon God is the backbone of the Dragon Team. The reason it’s called the Dragon Ancestor is because of the Dragon God’s backing!
In other words, this Dragon Team is essentially the Dragon God’s emissary in the Mortal World.
