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

After leaving the dungeon.

"breathe!"

Ni Yongxiao took a deep breath, as if to expel all the foul air from the dungeon.

He gripped the communication jade token tightly in his hand, which emitted a faint light, as if urging him to complete the mission as soon as possible.

"Buzz!"

With a slight tremor of the jade pendant, a message to Ninth Sister was instantly sent.

After doing all this.

"Ah Kun!"

Ni Yongxiao turned around, nodded to his father, and said softly, "All done!"

Seeing this, Ni Kun smiled slightly and softly uttered two words—"A battle of wits!"

These two words, though as light as a feather, contain endless profound meaning.

Yes, Ni Kun's plan was to start with a war of words, using someone else to do his dirty work.

He wanted all these soldiers to die, while ensuring that the Yue Kingdom's upper echelons could not cause trouble, and also to rescue the city lord.

Only when Lord Lu takes back control of the situation can those wealthy merchants return with peace of mind.

Only when the port city regains its former glory can the Ni family, relying on their market properties, provide a continuous source of financial support for the "Family Management Manual".

Ni Kuntai needs to further invest resources to enhance his strength, and he is eager to accelerate his aggressive expansion once again.

Only in this way can the Ni family make preparations as much as possible before the Haotian crisis arrives.

then.

Ni Kun and his two companions took a step and headed towards the county government office.

Before long, the three of them happened to pass by the mansions of the four major families.

From a distance, one could see that the collapsed mansion was filled with corpses, all of whom were members of the four major families.

The corpses, lying haphazardly, emitted a foul stench; some were even being dragged and gnawed on by wild dogs...

"Ah-Xiao!"

Ni Kun asked with a serious expression, "Did you kill them all?"

Ni Yongxiao nodded heavily and replied in a low voice, "Those they couldn't find, Seventh Sister killed them all according to the family genealogy; not a single one escaped!"

A while later.

The three arrived at Yamen Street in the east of the city.

The street was wide and straight, and the county government office was located at the end of the street, giving it a solemn and dignified appearance.

However, the streets were lined with mountains of corpses of ordinary people, bloodstains covered the ground, and mosquitoes swarmed everywhere.

Seeing this, Ni Kun said in a deep voice, "Looting civilians is one thing, but massacring an entire city is an unforgivable crime!"

As they ventured deeper into this street of corpses, Ni Kun's eyes grew increasingly cold: "These soldiers must all be buried with us!"

A moment later.

The three finally arrived at the entrance of the government office, only to find that the majestic lions on the left and right sides had been replaced by two terrifying towers of human heads.

The simple faces on these human head towers are clearly the heads of innocent people, sending chills down one's spine.

Looking again at the entrance of the yamen, the place where the petition drum should have been placed is now empty.

The drum was carelessly tossed into a pool of water on one side, as if it had been abandoned.

If any mortal wants to strike this drum, they must bend down, kneel, and stretch their arms and necks to reach it.

Moreover, there were more than a dozen corpses of Qi Refining cultivators and mortals with broken staffs lying by the pool.

Seeing this scene.

Ni Yongxiao frowned slightly, then raised his hand and waved it. A powerful spiritual force swept out like a bolt of lightning, lifting the Dengwen Drum from the pool and placing it steadily in front of Ni Kun.

At this moment, the anger in Ni Kun's heart erupted like a volcano.

His eyes widened in fury as he stared intently at the drum, cursing, "A bunch of scum!"

Before he could finish speaking...

Ni Kun lunged forward, raising his arm high, channeling his power from his feet up his waist and arms, and struck the drumhead with his fist.

"Boom boom boom..." A deafening drumbeat resounded through the sky.

In the blink of an eye.

He then struck out a series of drumbeats, three slow and nine fast, like a sudden storm.

However, just as the drumbeats ended...

"Tap tap tap..." A series of hurried footsteps suddenly came from inside the yamen.

Immediately afterwards, a large group of menacing soldiers rushed out like wolves and tigers.

They brandished steel knives, their faces menacing, and shouted, "Who are you? How dare you be so audacious!"

Following closely behind was the centurion who had previously stormed the mountain gate.

The man strode out of the door with an arrogant and unrestrained air, as if the hilltop were his own territory.

"You audacious scoundrel!"

The man's eyes, like those of a wolf, slowly swept over the three people before him, his gaze settling on Ni Yongxiao. He demanded, "Who... was playing this drum?"

Before Ni Yongxiao could answer, Ni Kun suddenly stepped forward, his eyes wide with rage, and shouted, "You bastard! It was your grandpa who knocked it down!"

Upon hearing this, the centurion's brows furrowed like steel blades, and his voice was sharp and cutting: "Insolence!"

however.

Just as he was getting angry, a barely perceptible sly smile inadvertently flashed across his lips.

Then, deliberately drawing out his voice, he shouted sharply, "Guards! Have that drummer flogged sixty times!"

Yes, according to the laws of the Yue Kingdom.

Anyone who beats the drum to appeal for justice must first be punished with sixty strokes of the cane in court.

In the past, the sixty was just a formality.

Nowadays, let alone sixty strokes, even ten strokes of the cane are enough to kill a person.

Just then.

"mighty......"

Four soldiers suddenly appeared like ghosts, their menacing shouts echoing in the air, mimicking the tone of constables.

Each of the four soldiers held a long, five-foot-long staff tightly in their hands, the bloodstains on which seemed not yet to have dried.

As the four men drew closer, Ni Yongxiao and the butler were ready to make their move.

"Wait!" a soft, feminine voice suddenly rang out.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a soldier with a effeminate face slowly walking out of the yamen.

He first swept his gaze across Ni Yongxiao and the other two with lightning speed, a barely perceptible glint in his eyes, then spoke with a forced smile, "Oh! Isn't this the head of the Ni family? What brings you here?"

As he spoke, he waved his hand and gestured for Ni Yongxiao and the others to enter the yamen.

Before Ni Kun and his group arrived, they had already confirmed the relevant information with City Lord Lu and knew that two teams were stationed in the port city.

The one who broke through the mountain gate was called Huci.

The one who comes out now is called Huanrou.

Both men were centurions, though only minor officers, but both harbored considerable ambitions for the position of city lord.

"Wait a minute!"

Ni Kun raised his hand and waved, refusing to enter the yamen, while raising his voice eight octaves: "Wouldn't it be better to settle the case right here today!"

Before he could finish speaking...

There was a "whoosh" sound.

Ni Yongxiao raised his hand and shot out a memory crystal borrowed from Feng Qingyue, which landed steadily in Huan Rou's hand: "I implore Lord Huan to uphold justice!"

Huan Rou looked at the memory crystal in her hand, a meaningful smile playing on her lips: "Easy! Easy!"

Then, with a thought, he deciphered the criminal information about the assassination, arson, murder, and looting in a short time.

however.

He raised an eyebrow slightly, seemingly not particularly surprised by this information, and then raised his hand to shoot the memory crystal back.

Clearly, he knew that this alone was not enough to kill the person beside him, and...

Seeing this scene.

Hu Ci instantly deciphered some information, but he did not panic at all.

Because he has connections in the provincial capital!

Huci became even more arrogant, shouting, "Damn it! You want to sue me? You don't even know your own limitations!"

Immediately afterwards, he waved his hand and roared at his men, "Men, get them! Take them all down!"

Hu Ci knew very well that these ordinary soldiers with only Qi Refining skills were no match for the Ni family.

But he didn't care about the lives of these cannon fodder. For him, there was only one goal: to make things bigger and kill as many of these soldiers as possible.

In this way, he could confirm Ni Yongxiao and others' crime of treason and have people from the provincial capital come to exterminate the Ni family.

However, those soldiers were not fools.

They instantly guessed Hu Ci's malicious intentions, so despite shouting loudly and kicking hard, they were actually just running in place.

"Hmph!" Seeing this, Hu Ci let out a cold snort: "Kill them all!"

Then, he suddenly darted out, using his Foundation Establishment cultivation to create a wave of energy, forcefully pushing his hundred soldiers forward.
