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

Chapter 38 We've only had enough to eat for less than three years!

"Creak!"

The moment the cell door opened.

"vomit!"

A nauseating odor suddenly wafted over, like the stench of rotting grains and excrement.

In just a moment, the three of them felt a churning in their stomachs.

"Um!?"

Ni Kun suppressed his discomfort, frowned slightly, and stared straight at the innermost part of the cell.

There, squatted a gaunt old man, looking as if a gust of wind could blow him over.

His hair was disheveled and covered most of his face, making it difficult to see his true features.

now.

When the old man noticed someone approaching, he first trembled violently, then raised his head shakily with a look of terror on his face.

However, when he realized that the person who came was not one of those fierce-looking soldiers.

"call!"

He finally let out a slow breath, and his heart, which had been hanging in suspense, felt as if a stone had been lifted off his shoulders.

"Lord City Lu!"

Ni Kun spoke first, his voice revealing a complex emotion.

Upon hearing this, the old man stared blankly at Ni Kun, but had no recollection of him whatsoever.

Seeing this scene.

Ni Kun naturally understood. He didn't offer any explanation, but instead slowly opened the food box and took out plates of dishes.

"what!"

Upon seeing the food, Lord Lu immediately let out a hoarse scream.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

He scrambled towards the food like a wild beast that had been starving for a long time, completely disregarding his appearance.

next moment.

He didn't even bother to pick up chopsticks; instead, he grabbed handfuls of food and stuffed them into his mouth.

Food scraps slid down his chin, but he didn't care. He just kept chewing, as if the food was his whole life.

"Ugh!"

Upon witnessing this scene, Ni Yongxiao and the butler both let out a soft sigh.

The Lord Lu before me was once so full of vigor and ambition; I never imagined he would turn out like this...

at the same time.

"Lu Zhenshen!"

As Ni Kun watched the other person wolf down their food, he sighed inwardly at the original name of Lord Lu.

At that moment, a complex emotion welled up in his heart, and memories flooded back like a tide.

then.

After leaving the sect, Ni Kun's first stop was Yong'an City in the north.

Later, they moved to several other cities.

But eventually, a chance encounter led him to this small fishing village near the border sea.

At that time, the small fishing village was very small, with only two or three hundred villagers.

They made their living mainly by fishing by the sea and lived in extreme poverty.

However, the scenery here is exceptionally beautiful, and the geographical location is also very advantageous.

Ni Kun fell in love with this place at first sight, so he built a mansion halfway up the mountain and supported a promising young man from the fishing village.

Time flies, the years are like a shuttle.

After decades of rapid development, this once small fishing village has undergone tremendous changes.

Today, it has become a bustling port city with a population that has surged to hundreds of thousands and an increasingly prosperous economy.

However, things are impermanent.

Now, most of the county town has been destroyed, and the former prosperity is long gone, making people sigh that things have changed.

"Uh...uh..."

A low, rapid sound suddenly came from Lord Lu's throat, as if something was blocking it.

next moment.

His face instantly turned bright red, his eyes widened, and his mouth opened slightly, but he couldn't utter a single clear sound.

It was obvious that he ate too quickly, swallowing the food before he had a chance to chew it, which caused it to get stuck in his throat, making it difficult for him to breathe.

"Lord City Lu!"

Interrupted from his thoughts, Ni Kun quickly handed a pot of wine to the other person: "Don't rush! Eat slowly!"

Lord Lu took the wine jug, and without saying a word, suddenly tilted his head back.

"Glug! Glug!"

He gulped it down, and in the blink of an eye, a pot of wine and food were gone.

Then they began to feast again, as if they could never get enough to eat.

In just a short while.

After all the food was devoured in a whirlwind, he kept burping, but seemed to still want more.

I breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Lord Lu raised his head, looked at Ni Kun with a puzzled expression, and then turned his gaze to the steward and Ni Yongxiao.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he blurted out, "It's you!"

He clearly recognized the butler and Ni Yongxiao at a glance.

"Um!"

Upon seeing this, Ni Yongxiao smiled and nodded, replying, "It's me! City Lord Lu, we've come to see you!"

Upon hearing this,

Lord Lu chuckled at first, then pointed to the plate that had been licked clean, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "Sigh, this old man has been locked up here for so long, barely surviving on rats and cockroaches!"

Speaking of it.

He suddenly glanced sideways at the burly soldier at the far end of the cell, a flash of resentment and disdain in his eyes: "These scumbags, they think they can starve me to death? Not so easy!"

Although his voice was a little hoarse, a resolute look flashed in his eyes—a determination not to succumb to fate.

Then, he clenched his fists tightly: "I can't die yet! I believe in the Ni family! I believe there's always a way out! I must get out of here alive and avenge my Lu family descendants!"

Upon hearing this...

"Ugh!"

Ni Yongxiao and the steward sighed softly. They felt deep sympathy for Lord Lu's plight and admired his strength and perseverance.

"good!"

Ni Kun gave a soft praise, a glint of admiration flashing in his eyes.

Yes, he came here for only three things—whether Lord Lu is alive, and whether he still has loyalty and fighting spirit!

"Lord City Lu!"

Ni Yongxiao pressed further, "Time is of the essence, could you tell us exactly what happened?"

His butler chimed in, "Yes! Only in this way can we know ourselves and our enemy, and help you defeat them!"

Upon hearing this,

A glint of anticipation flashed in Lord Lu's eyes, followed by a soft sigh: "It's a long story!"

He then fell silent, seemingly recalling that painful past.

after awhile.

He slowly began to speak: "On the day of the battle halfway up the mountain, the four major families came knocking on our door... They wanted my Lu family to lead the way in annihilating the Ni family, and then pin all the blame on your Ni family!"

He paused, then clenched his fists in indignation.

"But how could I, Lu Zhenshen, do such an ungrateful thing?"

"Therefore, I rejected the demands of the four major families without hesitation!"

Then.

The commander of Lucheng then tearfully recounted what happened afterward.

Originally, he planned to go up the mountain early the next morning to inform the Ni family of this important news and discuss countermeasures with Ni Yongxiao and others.

However, to his utter surprise, in the middle of the night, a white crane descended from the sky, and the scarred man attacked like a ghost. The man's strength was extremely terrifying, and he broke through the city lord's mansion's barrier in an instant...

Immediately afterwards, a group of soldiers in standard uniforms rushed into the Lu family's residence like a tidal wave.

That night.

Under the cover of darkness and in complete silence, the Lu family was brutally murdered.

He wasn't killed on the spot because someone needed him to take the blame.

From then on, he was imprisoned in a dark and gloomy dungeon, living a life worse than death.

To this day, the general public knows nothing about what happened to the Lu family.

They all believed that on that terrifying night, Lord Lu and his family had abandoned them and fled with their entire clan.

"Waaaaah..."

After Lord Lu finished recounting all of this, he could no longer suppress his grief and covered his face, weeping bitterly.

He cried and muttered to himself.

"How did this once beautiful port city become like this!"

"We just had a full meal!"

"Not even thirty years!"
