After a while.

After Ni Yongxiao told everyone to go back to their respective duties, he and his father went to the familiar foot massage parlor in the city.

Upon arrival at the destination.

Without saying a word, Ni Yongxiao immediately ordered the most luxurious private hot spring suite.

Yes, this renowned foot massage parlor offers many services in addition to foot massage.

One of the unique services is professional bathing!

His family's hot spring is of exceptional quality, boasting not only a massive flow of water but also an extremely hot temperature...

A short while later.

After soaking his body in the spring until he gradually recovered, Ni Kun lay comfortably on a wooden bed, ready to fully enjoy this unique service experience.

"ah!"

The moment the female technician's hand touched Ni Kun, she recoiled in shock, her face filled with astonishment: "You...you..."

Seeing this scene.

Ni Kun turned his head and smiled reassuringly, "Don't be afraid, I was in the sea for a while, so my body temperature is a little low!"

Upon hearing this,

The female masseuse said "Oh," and murmured to herself, "Yes, a bath will do the trick!"

A short while later.

"Sir, did you know...?"

"Business is much easier now than ever!"

The female masseuse worked quickly and efficiently, rubbing Ni Kun's back while chattering incessantly, telling him all sorts of strange and interesting stories about the merchants who came and went.

Her conversation almost entirely revolved around the peaceful and tranquil situation throughout the Yue Kingdom, where all the major powers were coexisting peacefully, resulting in more people staying overnight and even more people extending their stays!

Hearing these words, Ni Kun seemed to be deep in thought...

After bathing and changing clothes.

Ni Kun sat down at an exquisite tea table and brewed a pot of fragrant tea himself.

Just then.

A series of hurried footsteps came from outside the door—"tap tap tap..."

Followed by.

Ni Yongxiao hurriedly walked into the house, carrying a stack of construction drawings and family reports.

"Ah-Xiao!"

Ni Kun smiled slightly and quickly beckoned his son to sit down: "Come on, sit down and have a cup of hot tea! Then tell your father what has happened this past month?"

"Gurgle! Gurgle..."

Ni Yongxiao took a sip of steaming hot tea, pondered for a moment, and then briefly recounted the family's situation over the past month.

First of all, Ni Yongci is still making every effort to break through to the "Foundation Building" realm.

Meanwhile, the other members of the Ni family, after mastering the "family crest," went to the temporary barracks outside the Black Mountain Fortress to await orders.

Besides.

The entire Yue Kingdom has gradually returned to its former tranquility, and the rumors about an impending large-scale war seem to have vanished overnight...

From this perspective, everything seems to be moving in a positive and favorable direction.

However, Ni Kun knew exactly what was going on.

He understood perfectly what the strange and chilling atmosphere in Yue Kingdom meant at this moment—it was as if even the air itself was filled with an intense and unyielding killing intent.

As time passed by, second by second.

After Ni Yongxiao finished explaining the situation, Ni Kun, upon hearing that the Black Mountain Fortress was nearing completion, readily suggested, "Let's go! Let's go take a look!"

"Pfft pfft pfft..."

Ni Kun rode the Land Rover at breakneck speed. The broad, sturdy paws moved with remarkable speed yet stability.

Beside Ni Kun, Ni Yongxiao, with his gavel on his feet, sped along at the same speed as if walking on clouds.

Before this.

Ni Kun originally wanted Lu Hu to return to the mountainside first, while he and Si Zi rode off in the Jade Hammer. However, Lu Hu once again clung tightly to Ni Kun's leg, acting like a spoiled child...

That's why we see this scene before us.

Not long after.

The distant Black Mountain gradually revealed its indistinct outline, like a sleeping giant beast lying between heaven and earth.

In a little while.

The towering Misty Peak is clearly visible, shrouded in mist, giving it a mysterious and unpredictable feel.

After a while.

At the foot of the two peaks, the former Ni family military camp still retains faint traces of its site.

"Father!"

Ni Yongxiao pointed ahead and shouted excitedly, "As long as we pass through this narrow and long pass, we'll reach Black Mountain Fortress!"

"Um!"

Ni Kun nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.

He raised his head and gazed into the distance.

In front of the mountain pass, there was a flat and open terrain, as if it were a funnel mouth deliberately opened up by nature.

On either side of the mountain pass stand the towering Misty Peak and the craggy Rotten Flesh Mountain, forming a magnificent and imposing scene.

Yes, the pass is in the middle, with two mountains side by side, but each mountain is different.

Look closely.

The Misty Peak soars into the clouds, piercing the sky as if it were testing its prowess against the heavens.

Its summit is so high that it is impossible to climb, and it is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round, making it as mysterious and unpredictable as a fairyland.

The soil on the mountaintop is exceptionally fertile, supporting the growth of various rare and precious plants, and its spiritual tea is world-renowned and highly sought after.

On the other side, there was a mountain of rotten flesh.

The entire mountain is crimson, as if it were stained with blood, and from a distance it looks like a huge piece of flesh hanging in the sky.

Everything on the mountain was filled with an eerie atmosphere. Even the clear springs flowing through the mountains emitted a faint smell of blood, making people want to vomit.

Upon closer inspection, the entire mountain exudes a sinister, terrifying, and menacing atmosphere, sending chills down one's spine.

"Pfft pfft pfft..."

After Ni Kun entered the pass, he saw that this dangerous passage was only a hundred feet wide.

On both sides, the cliffs are steep and precipitous, as if cut by a knife and axe.

In the narrow, winding passage, a slight misstep could lead to a precipitous fall and shattering into pieces.

And the further you go in, the narrower and more dangerous the passage becomes.

In the end, it actually formed a "narrow strip of sky" that was several kilometers long, and at its widest point it was less than ten feet wide.

Sunlight could only penetrate the narrow gap above with difficulty, making the entire space appear exceptionally dark and oppressive.

Being here makes one feel short of breath and intensely suffocated.

After a long and arduous journey.

The father and son successfully crawled through the narrow passage.

Suddenly, my eyes were opened up and my field of vision became incredibly wide.

At this moment, in this place, one can see that the terrain in front is slightly rising, showing a slow upward trend.

Looking up, you can see a majestic black fortress standing between the sky and the heavens—this is the future renowned Black Mountain Fortress!

It stands like a colossal creature at the entrance to Black Mountain, majestic and imposing.

"Land Rover!"

Ni Kun patted the saber-toothed tiger's head and rolled off.

Seeing this scene.

Ni Yongxiao immediately understood, and with a swift movement, he stepped on the gavel and instantly carried Ni Kun into the air.

At this moment, with a commanding view, the field of vision instantly opens up.

The entire Black Mountain Fortress came into view, its inner circle and outer square layout clearly visible.

The interior is a circular city, while the exterior has a square outline.

The scale of the inner circle city is no less than that of the mountain peak, and may even be larger.

The buildings in the city were built entirely in imitation of the Mid-Levels Mansion, making it seem like a miniature version of Mid-Levels.

Outside the inner city, there is a vast outer city area.

The entire outer city was quite large, comparable in size to the original port city.

Looking down from a high place.

The city walls were towering high into the clouds, exceptionally sturdy and thick.

The crenellations on the city wall were perfectly sealed, and each side of the city wall was equipped with a hundred huge crossbow platforms.

Once these crossbows are installed, their firepower is sufficient to cover the entire battlefield, posing a significant threat to Foundation Establishment experts.

Furthermore, with the crossbow combined with other defensive fortifications, it is a complete killing fortress, integrating offense and defense.

"Explosive crossbow!"

Ni Kun's pupils dilated in shock, and he exclaimed repeatedly, "Excellent! Excellent! I had heard before that the imperial city possessed such a powerful weapon, and seeing it today, it is indeed extraordinary!"

Ni Yongxiao nodded emphatically: "Yes! That sixth brother, although he's usually quite mischievous, is actually quite reliable when it comes to getting big things done with big money!"

Ni Kun laughed heartily, then raised his gaze and looked towards the four corners of the outer city.

There, there were clearly four powerful array eyes, each inlaid with a large number of mid-grade spirit stones, gleaming with dazzling light.

Without a doubt, this is the double barrier set up by Black Mountain Fortress—protecting the inner city and the outer city respectively.

Looking into the distance.

After passing the Black Mountain Fortress, you can find a temporary military camp ahead, which is obviously a means to prevent the invasion of the Black Mountain demonic cultivators.

It continues to extend outwards.

What comes into view is a vast expanse of gray-black mountains, with undulating peaks and crisscrossing ravines, and a dense network of rivers mending the wounds of nature.

In this mysterious and unpredictable mountain region, faint fluctuations of demonic flames can be heard from time to time, all sent out by scouts from the Black Mountain Demon Sect.

Despite the immense scale of the fortress construction, it was undoubtedly a daunting and massive undertaking for the Ni family.

But compared to the entire Black Mountain demonic cultivation force, it is merely a drop in the ocean, an insignificant matter.

It should be noted that the Yue Kingdom meticulously constructed a long and sturdy defensive line along the winding, snake-like Black Mountain Range.

This is why Ni Kun firmly believes that the Demonic Sect will not easily take action if a fortress is built here.

As he looked at everything before him, his mind raced through his thoughts.

"Look!"

The numerous Ni family members guarding the fortress all looked up at the sky, their eyes fixed on the enormous magic hammer in mid-air, and shouted in unison, "That's the family head's magic weapon!"

In an instant.

A deafening roar of cheers swept across the crowd like a surging wave.

Then a sharp, piercing sound suddenly rang out—"Whoosh!"

Ni Yongshuang flew in on her sword.
