The Mysterious Immortal Clan: Rising from the moment I died!

When the eighteen warlords led their armies and marched menacingly toward the Execution Platform.

Under heaven.

Various forces began to stir, some choosing to raise the banner of righteousness and resist tyranny, while others simply went up the mountain and became local warlords.

For a time, countless people attacked, killed, and plundered each other, with flames of war raging everywhere and the stench of blood permeating the entire Yue Kingdom.

During this period, many forces harassed the surrounding counties of the port city, and those poorly defended cities were almost powerless to resist.

Of all the counties that were attacked, Kucha suffered the most tragic fate.

Having lost the Wang family, the strongest fighting force, the city was quickly captured. After the enemy army advanced unimpeded, a horrific massacre ensued, with no civilians spared. Corpses piled up like mountains, and blood stained every inch of the land.

Clearly, this massacre was staged for the port city to see.

The port city at this time.

At the entrance of the county government office.

"Lord City Lu!"

Ni Yongci personally visited, holding a note, and got straight to the point: "I'm here today on Ah Kun's behalf to help your family leave safely with me!"

Ni Kun made this arrangement because, on the one hand, he valued Ni Yongci's gentle and kind personality and her meticulous attitude in handling matters; on the other hand, he also considered that it might be more convenient and appropriate for her to be a woman.

Lord Lu never expected the Ni family to value this so much. At this critical juncture of life and death, they even sent Ni Yongci, a highly respected member of the second generation, in person. He was extremely grateful.

A moment later.

Lord Lu stood on the city wall, watching from afar as this magnificent and seemingly endless army slowly made its way toward Black Mountain Fortress.

He believed that only in the Black Mountain Fortress could his pregnant family find refuge and peace.

Think about this.

Lord Lu gripped the note Ni Yongci had left him even tighter, his knuckles turning slightly white.

"Old Li!"

Lord Lu turned to the gatekeeper and sternly instructed, "You lead those martial artists and maintain order in the floating houses as much as possible!"

He knew that although only mortals could enter the floating house, it was only a matter of time before order collapsed once all the mortals crowded there.

All he could do was stall for time, hoping the turmoil would end as soon as possible.

"Yes, sir!"

Old Li nodded respectfully, indicating that he would do his best to complete the task.

Followed by.

Lord Lu shifted his gaze to the soldiers standing in front of him, fully armed and ready for battle.

He took a deep breath and, in a booming voice, issued his command: "Brave warriors, heed my command! Today we bear a heavy responsibility; we must defend all the city gates with all our might! If any enemy attacks, fight bravely and never retreat!"

Inspired by him, the soldiers were in high spirits and responded with a resounding shout.

After a hard-fought battle, Lord Lu, relying on the towering and sturdy city walls and his powerful and brave army, successfully repelled the small forces that attempted to invade the port city.

Yes, this was the note Ni Kun left for Lord Lu before he left—"Chase the brat out, Your Majesty, please come in!"

The morale of the soldiers and civilians in the port city was greatly boosted.

Two more days have passed in the blink of an eye.

During this time.

On the Zhuxian Platform, heroes from all walks of life gathered for a grand and solemn alliance ceremony.

However, this grand event, which was originally intended to unite all forces to fight against the Yue royal family, turned into a chaotic farce.

The reason was that all eighteen warlords coveted the position of leader of the alliance and each of them presented their so-called "dead princes" to prove their legitimacy.

But when the eighteen skeletons of the princes were displayed, the whole scene descended into chaos and noise.

For a time, everyone insisted that what they held was the real crown prince, accusing others of displaying a fake.

They each held their own version of events and refused to yield.

Such endless disputes made the entire alliance situation increasingly out of control, and it could only end hastily and unhappily.

Day two.

The morning sun, just beginning to shine on the streets and alleys of the port city, brings a touch of warmth and tranquility to the city.

However, a mysterious visitor quietly arrived at the Ni family's doorstep...

He was dressed in a traditional Chinese ink-wash brocade robe, carrying a magical scroll on his back, and riding a flying sword amidst flowing clouds.

Indeed, the visitor was Cui Yan from the Cui family of Qinghe.

Ni Yongxiao clasped his hands in a fist and said loudly, "Brother Cui Yan, how have you been?"

Cui Yan returned the greeting with clasped hands, and said solemnly, "I have come today for no other reason than to express my gratitude to your esteemed family for your generosity in enabling me to purchase the Crown Prince's remains!"

That brings us to this point.

He paused briefly, then continued with greater emphasis, "However, because more than a dozen of the Crown Prince's remains have been discovered on the Execution Platform, I have come here today specifically to demand an explanation!"

Before he could finish speaking...

Ni Kun smiled slightly and responded first: "My Ni family has repeatedly emphasized before that we are not clear about whether he is the crown prince!"

He paused as well, then emphasized, "Besides, in business, there's always been a rule: once you've made a purchase, you don't have to; you have to accept the consequences!"

These words were spoken.

Everyone echoed in unison, "Yes... how could the prestigious Cui family renege on the rules?"

With just a few words, Cui Yan was so angry that he nearly fainted.

He glanced at the silent Feng Qingyue, pondered for a moment, and then said in a solemn voice, "How about this: your esteemed household might as well post a notice, or even issue a public statement, confirming that what my Cui family of Qinghe has obtained is the genuine remains of the Crown Prince!"

Upon hearing this,

A subtle glint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Ni family members.

"Ugh!"

Ni Yongxiao first let out a long sigh, then replied helplessly, "If we act in this way, I'm afraid my Ni family will offend all the other warlords!"

Seeing this, Ni Yonggui and the others quickly nodded in agreement: "That's right! The consequences would be unimaginable!"

Upon seeing this, Cui Yan's face turned pale with anger.

However, just as he was about to lose his temper...

"Cough cough..."

Ni Kun coughed twice, his eyes sharp as an eagle's as he stared directly at Cui Yan, and said in a meaningful whisper, "In this world, no matter how difficult the task, there will always be someone willing to do it; even the blood on the edge of a knife will be licked by a merchant!"

Upon hearing these words...

"Um!"

Although Cui Yan was a scholar, he was not an extremely pedantic person.

He instantly understood the implied meaning and deeper significance of Ni Kun's words.

After a brief hesitation.

"Good! Very good!"

Cui Yan gritted his teeth and asked Ni Yongxiao in an icy tone, "Fine, then quickly state your terms!"

Ni Kun raised one finger and casually uttered five words: "A small goal!"

He then emphasized, "This statement is of great importance and must be kept strictly confidential!"

These words were spoken.

The members of the Ni family all said in unison, "Yes, yes, yes... Our Ni family will never leak a single word of this. You can only reveal it at the next alliance meeting, at which time it will have prestige and power!"

Although Cui Yan had some objections to the amount, he had no doubt about the confidentiality proposal.

Before long, after a tug-of-war of bargaining, the two sides had finally reached an agreement.

In the end, Cui Yan reluctantly paid another million low-grade spirit stones, clutched the statement issued by the Ni family tightly, and turned away angrily.

Afterwards, other feudal lords also arrived quietly one after another, with the same purpose as Cui Yan before them.

Ultimately, after paying the price of significant losses, each of them received a statement from the Ni family.

Among them, the member of the Yuwen family, as he left, stared viciously at the mansion halfway up the mountain, cursing inwardly, "Hmph, they'll all have to spit it all out later!"

That's right!

In fact, the reason why these eighteen warlords were willing to invest huge sums of money to buy those corpses and documents was because...

One crucial factor was their firm belief that these items were only temporarily stored at the Ni family's residence.

After pacifying the world, they will surely be able to reclaim everything, including the principal and interest.

But their opponent is Ni Kun!
