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

That's right!

For Ni Kun, the most important thing right now is to focus on entering Black Mountain to earn experience points so that his disciples can grow quickly through the magic runes.

But who would have thought that such a huge plot hole as the "Crown Prince's Murder Incident" would suddenly appear halfway through the journey?

Having a passion for reading all kinds of novels, he was naturally very familiar with historical dramas—if a crown prince were unfortunately killed, the entire court would inevitably be thrown into turmoil, causing huge social upheavals; and naturally, there would also be a mastermind behind the scenes who would gain the greatest vested interests.

In just a short while.

Ni Kun, like a skilled butcher dissecting an ox, clearly untangled the tangled mess of events.

He first ruled out the Cui family of Qinghe, who were clearly just pawns.

His gaze was firmly fixed on a key point, and he immediately concluded: "The answer lies in Montenegro!"

Upon hearing this,

Ni Yongxiao and Ni Yonggui were taken aback at first, then looked at Ni Kun with blank and confused expressions, and asked in unison, "So Father thinks it was the Black Mountain demonic cultivators who have been dormant for many years who made their move?"

Ni Kun smiled slightly, and then began to explain in a slow and unhurried manner.

"First of all, very few people know the travel routes of someone as noble and illustrious as the Crown Prince, except for members of the royal family!"

"Secondly, the crown prince died tragically on the spot, yet there were no obvious signs of a struggle; this could only have been his closest relative!"

Of course, there was one more thing Ni Kun didn't mention—that the Crown Prince's Destiny Talisman was firmly sealed by an incomparably powerful aura of demonic flame.

It should be noted that the power of this demonic flame is only slightly weaker than that of Haotian.

"Father!"

Ni Yonggui couldn't help but gasp, exclaiming in utter astonishment, "You mean that seemingly harmless, delicate and beautiful princess? How could she possibly possess such methods?"

Ni Kun merely smiled slightly, not directly answering Liu Zi's question, but continuing along the previous topic: "This time, the Crown Prince's visit to the Southern Region, and even to my Ni family, was actually a carefully planned and arranged conspiracy!"

That brings us to this point.

Ni Kun gritted his teeth: "That princess, as if she's afraid she won't be able to destroy my Ni family, first the demonic cultivators made their move, then the immortals tried to seize my corpse!"

He paused slightly, then said in a deep voice, "Both the immortals and demons know about this; it's truly a series of interconnected events!"

After Ni Kun finished speaking.

"???"

The two brothers were stunned and baffled, their faces filled with confusion.

A while later.

Ni Yonggui was the first to recover and asked, "But... Father, didn't you say the key to solving this mystery lay in Black Mountain? Why are you bringing up that princess now?"

Ni Kun raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile.

"Gurgle..."

He calmly picked up the teapot on the table and poured himself and his two sons each a cup of hot tea.

Then, while sipping his tea, he revealed the answer: "A two-legged princess is hard to find, but Black Mountain is right there!"

"oh!"

The two couldn't help but gasp in surprise. Only at this moment did they realize the profound meaning of their father's words as if waking from a dream—when faced with a complex and chaotic situation, one only needs to grasp the key point.

However, just as the two were immersed in this sudden epiphany...

"Hmm... For the safety of our people, it's time to consider having multiple burrows!"

Ni Kun quickly unfurled an old, yellowed map, and with a forceful gesture, pointed to one corner: "This place will become the third ancestral home of our Ni family!"

The two brothers looked in the direction their father was pointing, and were immediately speechless with astonishment, their faces filled with disbelief. They even couldn't help but exclaim, "This is insane!"

Ni Kun chuckled, patted Ni Yongxiao's broad, sturdy shoulders a few times, and encouraged him, "Ah Xiao, you're not even seventy yet, you're at the age where you should be doing great things!"

These words were spoken.

The father and his two sons burst into laughter, their voices echoing in the air for a long time.

At last.

Ni Kun turned his gaze to Ni Yonggui and answered Lao Liu's previous question with a serious expression: "Lao Liu, when you transmigrated to Earth in this small world, which country did you land in? Have you ever heard the story of Wu Zetian?"

......

As dusk falls, the setting sun casts its last rays upon the earth, as if draping the entire world in a golden veil.

At this time.

The Ni Family Ancestral Hall was brightly lit, and the atmosphere was unusually tense and solemn.

As time went on, and after intense discussions and deliberations, the final result was that the plan meticulously prepared by Ni Kun would be implemented step by step.

Ni Yongshuang's secret mission was to search for corpses that resembled the current crown prince and to find as many such corpses as possible.

Yes, Ni Kun is of great use!

on the other hand.

All the disciples with spiritual root aptitude within the Yue Kingdom were incorporated into the Ni family army, ensuring that each squad of soldiers was accompanied by a member of the Ni family as a guard.

Ni Yongwu devoted himself to the rigorous training of the Ni Family Army to ensure that they could respond quickly to any possible situation and be ready to set off for Heishan at any time.

As for the ordinary members of the family.

After receiving more generous compensation than ever before, they embarked on their journeys to distant lands.

Before leaving, Ni Kun only made one basic request to them—to survive!

After everything is arranged properly.

"call!"

Exhausted, Ni Kun let out a long sigh of relief.

Then, dragging his aching body, he slowly returned to the bamboo house.

Upon entering the room.

"Ugh!"

Ni Kun stretched out his limbs like a lazy cat, fully enjoying this moment of relaxation.

"The human body is so boring!"

Ni Kun muttered to himself as he walked heavily toward the hot spring.

In the blink of an eye.

Having arrived at the steaming hot spring pool, after taking off their clothes, they revealed skin that was so white it was almost bloodless.

"Thump!"

He leaped into the pool, letting the scalding water engulf his entire body, experiencing the unparalleled comfort and pleasure.

Yes.

Because of his special physical condition, he often needs to soak in hot springs to restore his physical vitality.

Last time.

Ni Kun was caught off guard and failed to touch the key rune on the boundary wall.

So he slowly closed his eyes and focused all his attention on the eerie underground world.

A thought crossed my mind.

"Gurgle!"

The thick tree root tentacles twisted and surged, quickly coalescing into his form.

But when he saw what was in front of him clearly, he couldn't help but gasp.

The key rune inside the wall was completely hidden among the countless runes on the wall.

however.

As time passed by, second by second.

Despite his tremendous efforts, he was still unable to find the key rune that had appeared before.

"Ugh!"

Ni Kun sighed softly, gently stroking the boundary wall before him, and murmured thoughtfully, "Perhaps, the reason I was able to see that crucial rune back then was simply due to the special opportunity brought about by my breakthrough to the eighth level!"

Thinking about this...

A deep sense of anticipation flashed in Ni Kun's eyes as he sighed, "I guess the only way to find it again is after I successfully advance to the ninth level!"

After making up your mind.

Ni Kun, who was half-lying in the spring water, slowly opened his eyes, and a panel emitting a faint light appeared before him...
