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

Yong'an City, in the northern part of the Yue Kingdom.

This place is inhabited by many ordinary people, most of whom make a living by fishing and hunting.

In winter.

Yongan Town hosts events such as "Watching Winter Fishing, Tasting Fresh Fish, and Enjoying Snow Scenery," allowing tourists to experience the joys of winter in one place, which has made the town famous.

At this moment.

Just as summer was beginning, this county town was struck by a massive disaster.

Last night, thunder roared like an angry dragon, sweeping across most of the county.

Tens of thousands were killed or injured, and the entire county town seemed to have become a living hell.

In the sweltering summer heat, within just one day, the city was filled with the stench of corpses, and countless flies swarmed everywhere.

The county constables were busy transporting the unclaimed corpses out of the city to prevent the spread of plague.

Among these busy constables was a young man named Ni Zhixin.

At that moment, he and his colleagues were carrying the body.

"Zhixin, you're really lucky!"

"The yamen needs capable people right now, so you'd better perform well and the magistrate will give you a commendation!"

"I'll definitely become a proper constable in the future and have a government job!"

The reason the head constable treated him so well was entirely because Ni Zhixin's parents had given him a lot of money.

I hope to take this opportunity to ask the head constable to help recommend my son for a promotion from assistant constable to full constable.

Official constables of the yamen.

Although this position doesn't wield much power, it is still a legitimate official position, offering not only the five social insurances and one housing fund, but more importantly, job security.

"What are you showing off? Do you even know this kid's family background?"

Another constable, with a pointed face and monkey-like features, interjected sarcastically, "His surname is Ni, the Ni family of Hong Kong! They're a family of cultivators!"

Ni Zhixin understood the implication in those words.

He was taken aback at first, then forced a smile: "Big brother, please stop teasing me. Cultivation families are far too far removed from my life!"

Although he said that, he secretly longed to cultivate immortality.

Especially last night... he witnessed that astonishing scene firsthand.

It was a figure flying on a sword, surrounded by lightning, as if struck by thunder.

In the blink of an eye, most of the county was destroyed. The shocking scene was deeply imprinted in his mind and could not be dispelled for a long time.

Not long after.

The three men filled the carriage with corpses, and then Ni Zhixin was responsible for transporting the corpses outside the city.

Yes, it was just him alone.

That sharp-mouthed, monkey-faced fellow is always cunning, and he's also a relative of the head constable.

The rest of the work was naturally done by Ni Zhixin... It seemed that he wouldn't understand human relationships if he didn't do more work!

All the way, he kept reliving the scene he had witnessed the night before, and was even more worried that his spiritual root would be exposed and he would become someone else's furnace.

Distracted, Ni Zhixin unknowingly took the wrong path, and by the time he came to his senses, he had strayed far from the original route.

Ni Zhixin had a bad feeling and quickly turned his horse around to turn back, only to find a black-robed cultivator standing behind him.

"Who are you?"

Ni Zhixin felt a chill run down his spine. He had practiced martial arts since childhood and had sharp senses. In addition, the carriage traveled very fast. How could someone be following him?

"Hehehe!"

The black-robed cultivator slowly raised his hand, arcs of electricity dancing at his fingertips, as if they could be released at any moment.

"I have just emerged from seclusion after attaining enlightenment, and unexpectedly, I have encountered a promising talent!"

He stared intently at Ni Zhixin, a hint of greed and mockery in his eyes: "Little brat, what's your name? Whose blood are you?"

Upon seeing the arc of electricity, Ni Zhixin instantly recognized the other party's identity.

Isn't this the same demon who summoned thunder last night and turned Yong'an City upside down?

He knew that he secretly possessed spiritual roots, which could only be concealed from ordinary people. However, in front of this great demon, the slightest carelessness could bring disaster upon his family and himself.

"Greetings, Immortal!" Ni Zhixin took a deep breath, suppressing his inner fear, and clasped his hands in response, "I am but a humble mortal from the mountains, nameless and without surname; everyone calls me Brother Ni!"

His voice trembled slightly, but he tried to appear calm.

"Your brother? Brother Li?"

The black-robed cultivator's eyes flickered, seemingly puzzled by Ni Zhixin's answer.

But he didn't delve into it further. Instead, a sinister smile crept across his lips: "Kid, you possess a superior spiritual root. Staying in this small county town might not offer you a good future... Come with me!"

Before Ni Zhixin could even refuse...

"call!"

Suddenly, the black-robed cultivator swung his arm violently, and the black robe, as if under a spell, instantly became enormous, like a dark cloud that blotted out the sky, engulfing Ni Zhixin entirely.

Followed by.

"Gibberish..."

The black-robed cultivator chanted incantations and formed hand seals. A gray-black gourd was aimed at the carriage, and a flash of black light appeared, sucking all the corpses into it.

Several hours later.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

Three figures, flying on swords, arrived at the scene of the incident like shooting stars chasing the moon.

The woman in the lead had a beautiful face and an elegant demeanor, giving people a sense of purity and refinement.

She wore a light blue and white gauze dress, her figure graceful, like a fairy descending to earth.

On her left and right sides stood a male cultivator dressed in a white robe.

The three of them slowly scanned their surroundings, finally settling on the blood-stained carriage.

"The aura is so strong, it must be that demonic cultivator who stole the core last night!" One of the young cultivators frowned and made a low-pitched judgment.

"Just like elsewhere, this guy also took all the corpses. It seems the Demonic Sect is planning something big!" another young cultivator added, his face also showing a solemn expression.

"Senior Sister!" The two men exchanged a glance, then clasped their hands in a fist salute and suggested to the woman in the lead, "We should not delay and should report this matter to the sect!"

"snort!"

The woman in the lead snorted coldly, her eyes filled with murderous intent.

"The demonic cultivators in Black Mountain are becoming increasingly audacious, stealing pills and slaughtering civilians—their crimes are utterly heinous!"

"I will personally inform my father and dispatch the sect's enforcement team to conduct a thorough purge of the Yue Kingdom!"

The two men nodded, their gazes turning towards Yong'an County: "Senior Sister, should we investigate the Ni family?"

Upon hearing this, the woman remained silent, secretly thinking to herself, "Qingyue has a close relationship with the nine women of the Ni family; this matter is a bit troublesome!"

a few days later.

Port City, Ni Family.

Ni Yongxiao spent a great deal of time and energy carefully investigating the Ni family members in Yue.

He was somewhat disappointed to find only a young man with a low-grade spiritual root.

However, just as Ni Yongxiao was considering what to do next...

"Tap tap tap..."

A series of crisp footsteps sounded.

He quickly looked up and saw a tall figure appear at the door. The person was Ni Yongshuang, the seventh child of the Ni family.

As her name suggests, she is aloof and rarely smiles.

However, she was a Qi Refining Perfection cultivator with a mid-grade spiritual root, specializing in intelligence gathering for the family.

Her appearance at this moment often signifies that something important is about to happen.

"Something's happened in Yong'an City!" Ni Yongshuang's tone was icy, devoid of any emotional fluctuation.

Upon hearing this, Ni Yongxiao jumped to his feet and strode towards her, asking, "Seventh Sister, what happened at Zuxing Land?"

"Fourth Brother, Yong'an City was struck by lightning last night!"

"Unfortunately, most of the county was destroyed, and tens of thousands were killed or injured!"

"Fortunately, our old Ni family house is undamaged!"

"However, the very next day, a mortal boy from one of the Ni family's branches mysteriously disappeared!"

Ni Yongshuang recounted everything she knew in one breath, a hint of doubt in her voice.

"Um!"

Ni Yongxiao nodded; he knew a little about the situation of the Yong'an City branch.

This branch is the bloodline sown by Ni Yongwen in the early days, but so many years have passed and no one with spiritual roots has appeared.

"Fourth Brother!"

Ni Yongshuang continued, her tone becoming somewhat grave.

"The last place that demonic cultivator appeared is exactly the same place where our Ni family members disappeared!"

"I've also heard that cultivators from the Righteous Path Alliance have appeared in Yong'an City; they're investigating the presence of demonic cultivators!"

Finally, Ni Yongshuang frowned slightly, casually uttered the words "that branch over there," and then hesitated...

Seeing this, Ni Yongxiao frowned and remained silent.
