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

"Fourth Brother!"

Ni Yongshuang greeted them with a beaming smile.

She first smiled slightly at Ni Yongxiao, her concern evident: "Fourth Brother, I haven't seen you in so long! You've lost weight!"

Ni Yongxiao spread his arms and looked at himself: "Seventh Sister, where has your Fourth Brother lost weight? I'm still the same as always!"

He paused, then joked, "Besides... money can't buy you a lean old age!"

Ni Yongshuang was taken aback at first, then shook her head slightly.

Then he turned slightly.

Her bright, star-like eyes seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, landing directly on Ni Kun.

After looking him up and down, he asked softly, "Ah Kun! Are you alright?"

After Ni Kun indicated that everything was alright.

"That's good!"

Ni Yongshuang smiled slightly, revealing a hint of barely perceptible arrogance, and raised her chin, pointing towards the Black Mountain Fortress.

"Fourth Brother, Ah Kun... this fortress will be completely completed soon. Now that we're here, why don't we take a closer look and see if there are any areas that still need improvement or refinement?"

The words had barely left his mouth.

Both Ni Kun and his son exclaimed in unison, "Excellent! Excellent!"

Ni Kun gave a thumbs-up, praising, "Truly worthy of being the genius architect of our Ni family! His masterpiece has reached a state of perfection!"

Upon hearing this,

Ni Yongshuang's cheeks flushed red, as tempting and lovely as a ripe apple, and she raised her hand to point to a magnificent building in the inner city.

"It's inconvenient to talk in the heavens; please have some tea and a chat in the main hall!"

After a while.

The two then followed Ni Yongshuang into the council hall of the inner city.

The overall layout of this hall is a meticulous replica of the Mid-Levels Mansion, and it can even be said to be exactly the same.

Currently, the main hall, as the core hub of the entire fortress construction project, is filled with a large number of design drawings, while in one corner there is a screen, behind which is a small room for Ni Yongshuang to rest.

Looking at everything before me.

"Seventh Sister!"

Ni Yongxiao's expression shifted slightly, his eyes reddening as he gazed intently at the somewhat thinner Ni Yongshuang: "Seventh Sister, you've truly suffered these past few days!"

After saying this, he sighed softly, expressing his heartache and gratitude for his sister.

Yes, it was precisely because of a powerful assistant like Seventh Sister that he, as the head of the family, didn't feel so much pressure.

"Fourth Brother, what are you saying!"

Ni Yongshuang smiled slightly and shook her head, indicating that her fourth brother didn't need to worry about it.

He pointed to a coffee table surrounded by engineering drawings on one side of the hall and warmly invited, "Let's chat over a drink!"

Just as the three were about to sit down, a series of hurried footsteps approached from afar.

"Tap tap tap..."

Followed by.

A familiar, loud voice called out, "Fourth Brother! Fourth Brother!"

Ni Yonggui came running over, his face full of surprise.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

He arrived before the group, panting heavily. After catching his breath several times, he finally spoke with a smile, "Oh ho! What a wonderful day it is today! To have Fourth Brother grace us with his presence is truly an honor!"

After saying that, he made a funny face, which made Ni Yongxiao glare at him: "You're not a kid anymore! Still acting like a clown!"

however.

Ni Yonggui chuckled and strode over to Ni Kun's side, then plopped down next to him.

After settling down, I couldn't help but squeeze in a little.

"Ah Kun! Ah Kun!"

Ni Yonggui blinked his big eyes hard, carefully observing his father's condition, and said with concern, "You've been missing for a whole month, and we've all been so worried about you!"

As he spoke, Ni Yonggui rubbed his hands together vigorously, then clasped them together in prayer: "Ancestor... no... thank God! Thank goodness you're back safe and sound!"

Finally, Ni Yonggui unconsciously touched his once round face, now slightly gaunt from worry: "Sigh, otherwise... I really can't imagine what the consequences would have been!"

Indeed, Ni Yonggui's extreme thinness was not solely due to overwork; the more crucial reason stemmed from the mysterious disappearance of Ni Kun.

He was constantly worried and unable to eat or sleep.

Looking at the now smaller version of the sixth brother, Ni Kun's eyes flickered slightly, and he said with concern, "After the project is completed, you... you'll need to take a good rest for a while!"

Looking at the scene before me.

Ni Yongshuang always felt that the tone of their conversation was completely inappropriate for their status and age.

However, before she could even speak...

"It's nothing! It's nothing!"

Ni Yonggui chuckled and replied cheerfully, "You're back... I'll just keep gaining weight on my own!"

Before he could finish speaking...

"Gurgle! Gurgle!"

Suddenly, Ni Yonggui's round belly emitted a deafening sound.

He subconsciously reached out and touched his stomach, a憨态可掬 (endearing smile) appearing on his face: "Haha, my stomach's growling loudly!"

Ni Yongxiao also reached out and touched his stomach: "You know what, I'm feeling a little hungry too!"

Ni Kun, who had eaten some snacks at the hot spring restaurant earlier, also rubbed his stomach and said, "Hmm, you know what, I'm actually quite hungry!"

Seeing this scene before my eyes.

Ni Yongshuang looked up at the outside of the hall again and saw that the sky was getting dark and night was about to cover the earth.

After a moment's thought, she readily suggested, "It's incredibly cold in the mountains at night. Why don't we gather around a small stove tonight, have some hot pot, and chat?"

Not long after.

The four of them gathered around a small, exquisite stove, chatting and laughing as they enjoyed their meal and talked about all sorts of things.

Finally, the conversation naturally turned to the main topic.

"Fourth Brother!"

Ni Yongshuang pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "What do you plan to do to get all the clansmen to move here?"

Upon hearing this,

Ni Yongxiao naturally understood that moving was no easy task, after all, the clansmen had a deep affection and attachment to the Half-Mountain Mansion.

then.

He shook his head slightly, then looked at Ni Yongshuang and asked in return, "My Ni family's intelligent seventh sister, in your opinion, how exactly do you plan to persuade our clansmen?"

Ni Yongshuang shrugged and exclaimed, "Difficult! Really difficult!"

Just then.

"Gurgle!"

After swallowing the food in his mouth, Ni Kun slowly said, "It's actually very simple!"

These words were spoken.

All three of them turned to look at him.

Ni Yongxiao recalled his father's words before: "Don't worry, I have a way!"

At this moment, his eyes were filled with anticipation for the solution his father was about to propose.

"Gurgle!"

Ni Kun gestured with his chopsticks to indicate that he shouldn't rush, and after swallowing another piece of food, he added, "The day it's completed might just be the day of a major battle!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's hearts tightened, and their expressions became serious.

Seeing this, Ni Kun smiled and waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to be nervous, then added in a relaxed tone, "If there is no major battle, we can simply have the entire family attend a grand celebration!"

In conclusion.

Ni Kun emphasized even more strongly, "The celebration can last a little longer...!"

These words were spoken.

Ni Yonggui was taken aback at first, but he quickly realized what was happening. His eyes blinked rapidly, and a look of sudden understanding appeared on his face.

Followed by.

He gave Ni Kun a thumbs-up and praised him repeatedly, "Wonderful! Absolutely wonderful!"

Yes, he guessed his father's idea: to leave all the clansmen here through the grand ceremony.

Over time, everyone will get used to living here.

however.

Ni Yongshuang, standing to the side, shook her head slightly, indicating that she was not as optimistic as Ni Yonggui had thought.

"Things aren't that simple. After all, this isn't too far from the Half-Mountain Mansion, and there will definitely be many people requesting to return to the Half-Mountain Mansion!"

She paused, then added, "And who knows... quite a few young disciples might take the opportunity to sneak back!"

Hearing this conversation.

Ni Yongxiao frowned slightly, but he was not worried. Instead, he turned his gaze to his father.

"Don't rush!"

Ni Kun first picked up pieces of fragrant mutton from the pot and placed them in the bowls in front of the three people: "Eat more! Eat more!"

then.

He casually gestured with his chopsticks towards the roaring fire in the stove, muttering, "Wow, what a big fire!"

These words were spoken.

Ni Yongxiao and his two siblings shuddered violently, and the meat they were about to eat fell to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, the three of them exchanged glances, as if they had all thought of some terrible possibility.

The three of them exclaimed in unison in shock, "Could it be...?"

But in the end, none of the three dared to voice this thought.

Simply because this idea is too crazy!

however.

Ni Kun, however, was eating heartily as if nothing had happened. He knew all too well the principle that as long as people were alive, the city would exist. Only by upgrading the level of the strange ancient tree and allowing the Ni family members to develop could the true path be taken!

Let alone one hillside mansion, even if there were ten thousand hillside mansions, Ni Kun wouldn't even blink an eye at the sight of that fire.

At this moment.

The three were taken aback at first, then Ni Yongxiao spoke first: "Are we really going to give up the second hillside residence?"

Ni Kun nodded and explained, "The biggest problem for my Ni family in entering Black Mountain is the port city behind us. If we divide our forces to guard it, we will be neither strong enough to attack nor strong enough to defend!"

He paused, then added, "The reason we built up the port city so well was to establish a reputation and hire a formidable figure to keep things in check!"

Yes, Ni Kun needs to focus his efforts on entering Black Mountain, while the enemy in Hong Kong will become his natural barrier.

What he needs is time, for his sons and sons to grow up. When that time comes, taking back Hong Kong will be as easy as taking candy from a baby.

After the three heard the strategic plan of using the enemy's own hands to defend against the enemy.

They stood there, stunned and amazed.

"Hehehe!"

Ni Kun smiled slightly, then changed the subject: "By the way! Recently... have any demonic cultivators come to harass us?"
