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

"A cross-shaped scar?"

Ni Kun murmured softly, seemingly having a special impression of this word.

He frowned slightly, thinking to himself, "Ni Mingyuan's injuries look familiar; that bastard must have done it on purpose!"

Yes, given the middle-aged man's cultivation level, he didn't need to use magic at all; he did this deliberately to create panic before his revenge.

However, Ni Kun never mentioned this person in front of his children.

A short while later.

Suddenly, a panicked cry rang out: "Master, something terrible has happened!"

Then, a member of the Ni family came running up, his face full of terror, panting and shouting, "The mountain gate... countless people from the four major families have arrived at the mountain gate, probably over a thousand!"

Upon hearing this news...

"Don't panic!"

Ni Xiaowu, as the family's external military force, reacted swiftly.

He exchanged a glance with Ni Yongxiao, nodded, then swung his arm sharply and shouted, "All disciples, follow me to battle!"

Upon hearing this,

The Ni family members rolled up their sleeves and shouted in response, "Attack!"

Then they surged toward the mountain gate like a tidal wave.

at the same time.

Watching the departing figures, Ni Yongxiao, who always sought stability, couldn't help but feel a deep sense of worry when he thought about how the four major families outnumbered him several times over.

"Ah-Xiao! Even if it means losing eight hundred of our own, we must kill a thousand of his!"

Ni Kun revealed himself, and said confidently in a deep voice, "It's time for our disciples to grow stronger through bloodshed!"

Yes, he wants to use this battle to weigh the results of the past three years!

"Follow the plan, lure the enemy deep inside, and then trap them!"

Ni Kun raised his voice eight octaves to utter these twelve words, not forgetting to remind him, "Ah Xiao, if you encounter that scarred man, just stall for time!"

Ni Yongxiao nodded heavily and strode towards the mountain gate.

at the same time.

Ni Kun looked up into the distance, as if he could see a figure rushing back: "Xiao Jiu, hurry! The family needs you!"

Yes, Ni Kun saw further than anyone else. He knew that the four major families had been lying in wait for so long, and their sudden attack at dawn must have a backup plan!

but.

Ni Kun had long been prepared for this day, so he was not afraid at all: "If the four families want to fight, then we will fight to the death!"

Then, with a thought, he instantly arrived in front of the mountain gate.

Here and now.

A shocking scene unfolded before his eyes—outside the mountain gate, a vast, dark mass of people and horses.

These people were menacing, each wielding various weapons, and shouting and cursing menacingly.

The atmosphere instantly became tense, and a major battle seemed imminent...

Look around.

The leaders were four old guys.

They are the patriarchs of the four major families: Zhao, Qian, Sun, and Li, and each of them possesses the cultivation level of the early Foundation Establishment stage.

Behind these four old men followed the guest elders hired by the four major families at great expense. These people were all quite powerful, and were basically at the peak of Qi Refining.

Looking further ahead, there are the second, third, and fourth generations of the four major families. Although there are many of them, fewer than ten have reached the pinnacle of Qi cultivation.

"Hmph, your Ni family only has one person at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, yet you dare to refuse a toast and drink a forfeit!" The strongest member of the Zhao family, Old Ghost, was the first to attack.

"Today, our four great families will surely wipe out your Ni family in a bloodbath!" The other three old ghosts also shouted with disdain.

Then, the four old ghosts exchanged a glance, a hint of greed flashing in their eyes.

Clearly, the four major families had already discussed how to besiege Banshan, kill people, and divide the spoils.

"Where is our guest advisor?"

The four old ghosts swung their hands violently and shouted, "Kill them!"

Before he could finish speaking...

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

The retainers behind the Four Old Ghosts shot out of the formation like arrows, rushing towards the Ni family with murderous intent.

Faced with this sudden attack.

"Stop being so arrogant!"

The guests of the Ni family shouted in unison, and then fearlessly charged forward.

Since the number and strength of the retainers on both sides were evenly matched, the battle was extremely fierce from the very beginning.

however.

Just as the two sides were locked in a fierce and evenly matched battle.

With a "whoosh".

The four old ghosts moved like phantoms, launching a sudden sneak attack with lightning speed.

Two of them stood in front of the Ni family like jackals blocking the way, while the other two charged directly into the midst of the fierce battle.

It should be noted that although there is only one realm difference between the Qi Refining Perfection stage and the Foundation Establishment stage, the difference in combat power between the two is as much as ten times!

Therefore, in just a short while, those Ni family retainers who were originally engaged in fierce fighting were beaten until their blood and qi surged, and they were all sent flying backward.

"not good!"

Seeing the situation was turning bad, Ni Yongxiao shouted, "Quickly cover the guest elder!"

He leaped into the air, unleashing his signature move – "Star-Picking Net!"

In an instant.

A large net of spiritual energy from a Yellow-rank spell instantly blocked the four old ghosts.

Right now.

"Ah-Xiao!"

Ni Kun urged urgently, "Lure the enemy deep into our territory!"

Upon hearing this, Ni Yongxiao trembled slightly, then immediately raised his arm and shouted, "Retreat!"

On the other side...

Seeing the Ni family's army collapse like a house of cards, the four old ghosts who had broken through the Star-Picking Network with a flip of their hands naturally wouldn't let it go.

They immediately pounced on him like hungry wolves, relentlessly shouting, "Chase him!"

A moment later.

The procession of over a thousand people from the four major families surged into the mountain gate like a raging torrent.

Because the mountain path was narrow, the thousands of people were stretched into a long line, like a winding snake.

Seeing this situation.

The four old ghosts felt a sense of foreboding, but before they could react...

"Boom!"

Thunderstones and rolling logs rained down like mud and rocks, leaving the "long snake" covered in wounds.

Poisoned arrows and barbed nets swarmed like locusts, killing so many that the "long snake" couldn't keep up with its head and tail.

"Seize the opportunity and launch a surprise attack!"

Ni Kun's sharp shout reached Ni Yongxiao's ears: "Leave no one alive!"

Upon hearing this,

Ni Yongxiao flipped his hand and shot out a streak of spiritual energy that exploded in mid-air.

In an instant.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Led by Ni Yongwu and other second-generation masters of the Ni family, the Ni family members, like a pack of tigers descending the mountain, leaped out from both sides of the mountain path.

In an instant, flames soared into the sky, and the shouts of battle shook the entire port city at the foot of the mountain, causing everyone to shut their doors and close their windows.

At this moment, the forces of the four major families were completely unprepared for such a change, and were immediately thrown into panic and chaos.

Just as these troops were being cut in half and defeated one by one.

"kill!"

Ni Yongxiao suddenly turned around and led thirty elite disciples who had reached the peak of Qi cultivation to launch a fierce counterattack, biting the snake's head and fighting it to the death.

He formed hand seals, and streams of magical energy enveloped the old ghost of the Zhao family.

On the other side.

The Ni family members followed the battle plan previously devised by Ni Kun, dividing into groups of ten to attack one of the four major families' old ghosts.

They joined forces and relentlessly pursued each other like a relentless wheel.

Every move and every stance is an overlap of spiritual energy and physical strength, as powerful and unstoppable as a raging storm.

In an instant, the air was filled with the whistling of fists and the flashing of blades as each disciple unleashed their full power.

In no time at all.

Although Qian, Sun, and Li were powerful, they were forced to retreat repeatedly when faced with the combined attack of the Ni family members.

The three exchanged bewildered glances, exclaiming repeatedly, "How is this possible? Why does the Ni family have so many Qi Refining Perfection cultivators? And how can these brats possibly stop us? What exactly happened to the Ni family?"

The three people's incredulous exclamations had not yet subsided.

"Bang!"

Zhao Jia Lao Gui was struck in a vital spot by Ni Yongxiao's palm, and his body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into the mountain wall.

"Pfft!"

He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, looking at Ni Yongxiao, who was at the same cultivation level, with trepidation, his heart filled with shock.

"You...you...why are you so strong in the early stages of Foundation Establishment?"

Seeing this breathtaking scene, the four major families were extremely depressed.

As for the Ni family...

"Could it be that Fourth Brother is right?"

"Is it right to govern a household by disciplining the family?"

Ni Yongwu and Ni Yongxiang exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of regret in each other's eyes.

Yes, the two were the first to stand up and oppose it.

At this moment, the two of them were the ones who knew best how much the Ni family had changed.

The two men looked at each other and nodded, their faces filled with guilt and apology as they gazed at Ni Yongxiao.

But as soon as he uttered the words "Fourth Brother".

But they discovered that the head of the family, Ni Yongxiao, was looking in another direction with even more excitement and respect than the two of them.

He sensed the intense gaze of the four children.

"Um!"

Ni Kun's lips curled slightly upward, revealing a faint smile, then he gestured with his hand, seemingly surveying the landscape:
