Chapter 84: Chapter 75: The Figure That Rushed to Mind
"Soone knows where Luoo Qu Tomb is? Are you telling the truth...?" Luoo Zhanhao shot to his feet, grabbing Nie Yun’s shoulders with both hands, his entire body trembling uncontrollably.
The Luoo Qu Tomb was a treasure left by his ancestor, and his inability to find it as a descendant had always been a source of great regret. Now, hearing this news, a wave of intense excitent flooded his mind, causing him to lose his composure.
"Heh..." Seeing his excitent, Nie Yun forced a dry laugh while enduring the painful grip on his shoulders.
"My sincerest apologies. I was just too excited. Please, tell
more. What exactly is going on?" Noticing the strange look on the young man’s face, Luoo Zhanhao realized he had lost his composure. He gave an embarrassed smile and released his grip.
"It’s like this," Nie Yun began to explain. "I ntioned that my father, Nie Xiaotian, successfully broke through to the Qi Sect Realm, right? The thod he used to do it was sothing he found in the Luoo Qu Tomb! That thod is also the reason Nie Haotian was so obsessed with our branch of the family and was always trying to cause trouble for us..."
"I see. If I’m not mistaken, that must be why the Four Great Families were able to join forces this ti!" Luoo Zhanhao was a sharp man; upon hearing Nie Yun’s explanation, he imdiately put the pieces together.
"If we can find Luoo Qu Tomb, open it, and get the treasure and the Secret Technique for defeating the Demon Race from inside, we might just be able to fight them!" Nie Yun said.
"That’s right. According to our family’s historical records, ancestor Luoo Qu did indeed leave behind a thod for dealing with the Demon Race. If we can enter Luoo Qu Tomb and retrieve that thod, Luoshui City might just be able to put up a fight!"
Luoo Zhanhao understood now, and he couldn’t help but laugh out loud. "I never thought you’d be my lucky star! You’ve only just arrived, and you’ve already solved a problem that’s been plaguing
for days. Excellent! I’ll summon the Clan Leaders of the Four Great Families right now to discuss how to deal with the Demon Race! We no longer have to just sit back and take a beating. We can finally fight back!"
"Summon the Clan Leaders of the Four Great Families? You an Nie Haotian, Feng Tianxing, and the others?" Nie Yun nearly choked.
"That’s right. They are all Peak Powerhouses of Armor Realm. If we can unite under a single command, our chances of defeating the Demon Race will be much greater!" Luoo Zhanhao’s gaze was clear; he seed to hold no grudge, even though the Four Great Families had previously ganged up on him.
"Um... there’s sothing I have to tell you. It’s a little awkward..." Seeing Luoo Zhanhao’s expression, Nie Yun was suddenly overco with guilt.
’The City Lord is willing to overlook anything so Luoshui City can fight the Demon Race, yet I’m the one who killed Nie Haotian and all those other experts from the Four Great Families who were trying to kill !’
"A little awkward? What do you an?" Luoo Zhanhao asked, startled.
"The Clan Leaders of the Four Great Families—Nie Haotian, Feng Tianxing, Chen Tongsheng, and Yangg Tiecheng... they’re all... all dead!" Nie Yun said, scratching his head.
"All dead? They were all Armor Realm powerhouses. Even with Nie Xiaotian having beco a Qi Sect Powerhouse, it’s unlikely he could have killed all four of them single-handedly, right? What on earth happened?" Luoo Zhanhao was shocked.
"Er, well, it’s like this..." Nie Yun slowly recounted the events that had taken place in the Nie Family’s assembly hall.
"Demon Spirit possession? Are you sure it was a Demon Spirit possession?" When he heard that Nie Haotian had been possessed by a Demon Spirit after his death and turned into a Qi Sect Powerhouse, Luoo Zhanhao’s eyes grew wide with astonishnt.
’This news is terrifying. To be capable of Demon Spirit possession, it has to be a demon of at least the Royal Family’s top grade. Why would a being of that level co to Luoshui City?’
"It must be the Luoo Qu Tomb! It seems the demons have been watching us for a long ti. If we go to the Luoo Qu Tomb now, we’ll likely be ambushed and surrounded by the Demon Race People. It will be fraught with peril!"
Understanding the crux of the matter, Luoo Zhanhao’s eyes snapped open and he spoke urgently.
"Mm." Nie Yun had already figured this out, so he simply nodded slowly in agreent.
"Right, you said earlier that you know a Secret Technique for dealing with the Demon Race... How could you know sothing like that?" Luoo Zhanhao recalled the young man saying he had used a Secret Technique to injure the Demon Spirit-possessed "Nie Haotian," his face a mask of disbelief.
Secret Techniques were even more precious than Martial Arts and could typically only be used by those who had reached the Qi Sect Realm. He never imagined that Nie Yun, who was only at the Peak of Gang Formation Realm, would know one—let alone successfully activate it. He found it utterly incredible.
"My master taught !" He had no choice but to fall back on the excuse of his master, even ntioning Yangg Yan as an example.
Although he hadn’t known City Lord Luoo Zhanhao for long, Nie Yun could tell that he was an extrely upright man who was single-mindedly devoted to Luoshui City. That was why he hadn’t hidden much from him.
"I never expected you to have such a fortuitous encounter. No wonder you’re so powerful at such a young age..." Hearing about Nie Yun’s opportunity, Luoo Zhanhao wasn’t envious at all. Instead, he looked pleased. "This way, I can rest easy entrusting my daughter to you..."
"Ahem!" Nie Yun was speechless. ’Why is he bringing this up again...’
’Logically, with her city-toppling looks, Luo Qingcheng is a rare beauty. Of course I don’t dislike her. But having lived two lives, my ntal Realm is practically ancient. It’s impossible for
to fall for a girl so quickly. Besides...’
The mory of that figure from his past life sent a pang of pain through Nie Yun’s heart. His expression darkened, becoming completely emotionless. His eyes turned deep and cold, as if he had been transported back to his past life, his heart once again filled with helplessness and despair!
"Dad, what are you saying! I’m still young. I need to focus on my Cultivation..."
Hearing her father’s words, Luo Qingcheng cried out in exasperation, but she furtively glanced at the young man. When she saw his expression, her words trailed off for so reason. Her heart felt as if it had been struck by a heavy stone.
’Does he already have soone he loves? What kind of story, what kind of tragic parting, could make soone as calm and composed as him—soone who wouldn’t bat an eye if a mountain collapsed—wear such an expression?’
"If we can get through this Demon Race business safely, you two can do whatever you want!"
Not noticing the change in Nie Yun, but seeing his daughter’s outburst, Luoo Zhanhao hurriedly waved his hand and said no more.
"City Lord Luoo, I will now tell you the thod to break through to the Qi Sect Realm. You can attempt the breakthrough while I return and ask my father for the precise location of the Luoo Qu Tomb. After that, we can discuss how to get there together!"
The thought of that figure and that incident from his past life extinguished any interest in Nie Yun’s heart. He spoke in a flat tone.
"Alright!" Luoo Zhanhao nodded.
Nie Yun then explained the thod for breaking through to the Qi Sect Realm. In truth, while it sounded complicated, it was actually very simple. The Qi Sect Realm was the Grandmaster Realm for Qi Sea Cultivators. To reach it, one needed an open and inclusive ntal Realm, the magnanimity of an ocean that accepts a hundred rivers!
As long as a hundred rivers flowed into the sea, allowing the True Qi in one’s Qi Sea to form its own unique characteristics and condense its own principles, breaking through to the Qi Sect Realm would be as simple as eating and drinking!
Soon enough, Nie Yun finished explaining the thod to break through to the Qi Sect Realm.
"I’ll be heading back now!"
After speaking, Nie Yun paid no mind to the slightly hurt look in Luo Qingcheng’s eyes. With a single leap, he was on Xiaohu’s back. Man and tiger then sped back toward the Nie Family estate.
