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

In the blink of an eye, several days have passed.

On a dark and windy night.

"Boom!"

Accompanied by deafening thunder, dazzling bolts of lightning, like silver snakes, darted through the dark clouds, constantly shattering, fragmenting, and reforming the dark sky.

"Whoosh..."

In the darkness of the night, a young man suddenly appeared. This man was none other than Ni Mingyuan, whose spiritual root had been awakened earlier.

"Pfft!"

He suddenly staggered, his body lurched forward, and a mouthful of blood gushed from his mouth, instantly staining his clothes red.

however.

At this moment, Ni Mingyuan had no time to care about his injuries; he hurriedly looked back.

"Those damned four families!" he cursed through gritted teeth. "They actually launched a sneak attack while I was home visiting my family!"

"We must hurry back and report the news..." He knew all too well the treachery and cunning of the four great families. This sneak attack must have been premeditated. If he couldn't get the message to the family head in time, the entire family would probably be in great danger.

Before he could finish speaking...

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

A dozen or so dark figures pounced out of the night like ghosts.

"kill!"

Each of the dark figures held a knife in their hand, dressed in black tight-fitting clothes, and their eyes, hidden behind masks, gleamed with a cold light, staring intently at their target like hungry wolves.

"Whoosh!"

Seeing this, Ni Mingyuan endured the excruciating pain, struggled to his feet, and continued running desperately.

In a short time.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

He sped ahead, while the dozen or so dark figures relentlessly pursued him.

Thus began a thrilling and suspenseful chase between the two sides.

Fortunately, Ni Mingyuan was wearing a pair of low-grade magic weapons that could increase running speed—parkour shoes.

Although it was only a low-grade magic weapon, it was already an extremely rare treasure for Ni Mingyuan, who was in the Qi Refining stage.

A moment later.

The men in black watched the figure they could never catch up with.

Upon seeing this, one of the assassins cursed angrily, "Damn it! That damned brat! He's seriously injured, yet he's still so fast!"

Another assassin chimed in, "Damn it! We're halfway up the mountain. If he gets to the foot of the mountain, it'll be very difficult to kill him!"

Before he could finish speaking...

With a deafening roar, a massive bolt of lightning struck the edge of the night.

Upon closer inspection, a massive, peakless mountain could be faintly seen on the horizon.

Ni Mingyuan was overjoyed. He then unleashed an even stronger survival force from his feet and sped off towards the mountainside like an arrow.

Seeing his target about to escape, the pursuer cursed angrily, "Damn it, this kid's trying to get away..."

however.

Just as Ni Mingyuan was about to escape,

Sudden.

"Hey!"

A terrifying shriek crashed down from the heavens.

Ni Mingyuan was startled and instinctively moved to the side in an instant.

Almost at the same instant.

A loud "bang" resounded from where he had just been standing, sending dust flying everywhere.

at this time.

In the darkness of the night, the outline of a giant beast appeared.

now.

"Boom!"

A bolt of lightning struck above the giant beast, revealing its full form. This giant beast was actually a huge crane.

In this world of cultivation, beasts are divided into three categories: mortal, spiritual, and strange, and the crane belongs to the spiritual beast category.

Above the crane stood a middle-aged man shrouded in a black robe, whose cultivation was unfathomable.

Ni Mingyuan's heart tightened. Knowing he was no match for him, he quickly clasped his hands in a fist and pleaded, "Senior, I am a fourth-generation member of the Ni family. I beg you to show mercy and let me pass. I would be eternally grateful!"

however.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man looked at the boy with a mocking expression: "Would you like to borrow something from me?"

Ni Mingyuan's eyes narrowed, and he took two steps back warily: "What is it?"

"Hehehe!"

The middle-aged man chuckled sinisterly, then sneered, "Heads!"

At that very moment.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

More than a dozen figures chased after him like hungry wolves, then quickly dispersed and surrounded Ni Mingyuan.

"You brat!"

"This makes it so easy for us to catch up!"

"Today, I will cut off your legs, skin you alive, and tear out your tendons!"

Seeing this, I knew there was no way out.

Ni Mingyuan immediately committed suicide by slashing his own neck, not wanting his soul to be searched and revealing even the slightest bit of information about his family.

But in that split second...

"Whoosh!"

The middle-aged man moved with lightning speed, instantly rushing towards Ni Mingyuan. With a flick of his index finger like a halberd, he knocked away the knife that was about to slit Ni Mingyuan's throat.

He then flipped his wrist, his five fingers arched like eagle claws, and with a light touch, he tightly gripped Ni Mingyuan's neck.

She raised her hand, pinning him in mid-air: "A low-grade spiritual root, nothing but trash!"

however.

He hadn't even finished speaking.

"Pooh!"

A mouthful of bloody phlegm suddenly sprayed in his face: "A man of the Ni family would rather die than be humiliated!"

Upon seeing this, the middle-aged man turned pale with anger.

He simply raised the hand that was gripping Ni Mingyuan's neck slightly, lifting Ni Mingyuan's body several feet higher.

Then, with a flick of his wrist, his fingers instantly materialized into a sword, and he coldly snorted—"Yellow-rank spell—Hollow Cavity Finger!"

"Snap!"

When the sword finger, carrying a bit of force, suddenly pierced Ni Mingyuan's dantian, a shattering sound instantly rang out.

The vortex of energy that had been gathered within his body was instantly blasted apart.

"what!"

The excruciating pain of his foundation being destroyed caused him to let out a heart-wrenching scream.

"Boom!"

A thunderclap resounded, and lightning bolts, like giant swords, struck overhead, illuminating everything.

This moment.

The lightning struck the middle-aged man's face, revealing a striking cross-shaped scar.

at the same time.

Ni Mingyuan's face was contorted in pain, his pupils were extremely dilated, and his body was convulsing uncontrollably, clearly enduring unimaginable suffering.

At the same time.

The immense, hidden force of the middle-aged man's sword finger spread from his dantian to his internal organs, shattering them inch by inch.

finally.

A loud "bang" was heard.

The force of the finger penetrated Ni Mingyuan's entire body, causing a bloody mess to explode at his lumbar spine, and a bloody hole the size of a bowl to form behind him.

When the lightning disappeared, everything returned to darkness.

At this moment, the huge commotion attracted countless guests and members of the Ni family from the foot of the mountain.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man licked his lips lewdly: "Let's go! First, let's wipe out the Lu family. Those young ladies from official families are too tender!"

Thus, these people attacked like evil spirits and disappeared like ghosts.

Only the middle-aged man's resentful voice echoed in the air.

"Let this kid go back and create some panic! Hehehe..."

After a while.

Ni Yongwu carried Ni Mingyuan, who was covered in blood, back to the Ni family mansion.

"child!"

Overwhelmed with grief, Ni Yongwen cried out in a trembling voice, "My good child, Grandpa...Grandpa has come to see you!"

Suddenly, tears streamed down his face...

Ni Yongxiao patted his second brother on the shoulder, and had someone help him back to his seat. He then gripped Ni Mingyuan's hand tightly and asked anxiously, "Who did this?"

Ni Mingyuan's lips trembled slightly as he uttered a few words with difficulty: "Patriarch...the four great families have arrived!"

"Be careful of that...that cross-shaped knife...the scar..." Ni Mingyuan's words were broken and intermittent, as if each word had used up all his strength.

At this moment, the flame of his life was gradually dying out, but his obsession kept him going until his last breath, just so he could return and inform his family.

however.

Before he could finish speaking, his hand suddenly fell limply to his side, and he died in Ni Yongxiao's arms...
