Become a true immortal by emulating all demons.

Chapter 248 The Rightful Lineage of the Luo Family in Yongzhou

"Young Master, all the elders of the family are outside."

After Lao He left home, his position was taken over by a middle-aged man with a goatee, named Lao Xu.

The saying goes, "A new emperor brings a new court."

Xu Yuncheng has risen from an ordinary servant to his current status, and he sincerely wants to maintain this status quo.

Even he suspected that the Wangjiang Prefecture incident might really be the work of Young Master Feng Ge, and he was uneasy about it for many days, not to mention the people from the various families outside the gate.

"Let's go, we can't be impolite."

After a long silence, Luo Fengge finally stood up and slowly walked towards the outside.

Before pushing open the door, he paused slightly, first adjusting the expression on his face.

Almost the same scene.

When Luo Fengge last stepped out of the room, she looked haggard, and her eyes were filled with sorrow.

But that was to let the elders understand how difficult it was for him to make this decision to back down.

This time, however, he tried his best to make himself look more normal, afraid that it would have anything to do with his previous emotions, so as not to cause people to misunderstand that what happened in Wangjiang Prefecture was really his instruction.

creak.

Luo Fengge took a deep breath and pushed open the door.

Dozens of gazes fell upon them almost simultaneously.

The room was completely silent.

Even the Fang family elders who were most eager to back down last time did not rush to question him this time.

From an outsider's perspective, the actions of these families this time were really not very ethical.

Regardless of what Luo Fengming did to incur the grudge with Hengshui Longsun, it doesn't matter.

This young master is, after all, dead.

Luo Fengge did not use the laws of the prefecture or morality to coerce the various families into helping them. Instead, he took the initiative to clear them of any involvement, which can be described as being extremely benevolent and righteous.

Even if Luo Fengge really did what happened in Wangjiang Prefecture.

He just wanted to avenge his brother, what's wrong with that?

At this point, anyone who dares to question it would be worse than an animal.

Therefore, although everyone still complained on the way here, they were actually prepared to go to war with Hengshui. They just wanted to ask Luo Fengge for his attitude.

The twenty-seven outer palaces are brothers, their bond even stronger than blood ties.

If you really can't swallow this insult and you really have to fight, then just make it clear and stand together!

To put it bluntly, if the Luo family had simply stepped forward and taken the lead, things wouldn't have dragged on like this. The Heavenly Demon Palace would have already begun preparing for the expedition last time.

'

Ning Yanche stood with his hands behind his back in the crowd, quietly watching the effeminate-looking young man.

He knows a little more than the others.

There is a high probability that this matter really has nothing to do with Luo Fengge.

But this is not important.

By sheer chance, the newly appointed young master of the Luo family suddenly had a chance to make a new choice.

Regardless of what the other party thought before, as long as they agree now, driven by their previous feelings of guilt, all the families will surely take action to avenge Luo Fengming.

Ning Yanche could actually understand Luo Fengge's concerns.

This young man has finally gained access to power, so he must be worried about what might happen. For example, if the Heavenly Demon Palace suffers a great loss in this battle, he might have to bear a lot of responsibility and the grievances of the people.

But looking back, without the courage to take responsibility, how can one be qualified to assume authority?

If you don't even dare to listen to a few complaints, how can anyone expect you to revitalize the Luo family?

Moreover, if they win, the young master who avenges his brother will see his status in the demon palace rapidly change.

He doesn't need to rely on others' sympathy and pity to build goodwill; instead, he relies on his strong will to become a true lord of the manor!

Isn't this also an opportunity?

Under the watchful eyes of everyone.

Luo Fengge took a deep breath and said apologetically, "I am truly ashamed to have troubled so many elders to make this trip, but I swear to God—"

He raised his index and middle fingers: "Feng Ge said that once I have achieved a certain level of cultivation, I will go to Hengshui to seek justice. But before that, I will never do anything foolish that would implicate the remaining twenty-six sisters and brothers of my outer family."

The young man's words resonated deeply.

The members of the manor, led by the elder of the Fang family, were all stunned for a moment, and then their expressions became even more complicated.

The first thought that came to mind was naturally a sigh of relief.

Not fighting is definitely the easiest solution.

But—this matter really has nothing to do with the Luo family?

Many younger generations have already imagined a great elder brother who refused to bring trouble to the demon's palace and therefore chose to face the pressure of the Hengshui River alone.

Even those who initially didn't want to fight have now subtly changed their minds.

Now they're saying it was actually a misunderstanding?

How is that possible?

Someone murmured, "In the lands of Hengshui and the other two kingdoms, besides us, there's actually a powerful demon who dares to attack the Cangming Guard?"

"And it actually worked." The onlookers were quite surprised.

It should be noted that the Heavenly Demon Palace only began to restrain itself after learning of the inspection by the immortal. Before that, they were the second local tyrant in Hengshui, besides the Dragon Palace.

Not only did he travel the world freely, but he also tried his best to recruit any promising talents he saw.

The weakness of the demon race in the mortal realm is largely due to this incident.

After all, the strong have all been taken away to enjoy themselves, so it's hard to find someone who can carry the banner again.

It cannot be ruled out that there are stubborn demon kings who prefer to form their own faction and rule over mountains, but they are few in number and lack the higher-level techniques and methods, so they are unlikely to amount to much.

When it was discovered that various parties were quite interested in the people who were doing the work, and even intended to seek out and recruit them.

Luo Fengge's eyes twitched almost imperceptibly a few times, and a chill crept into his gaze.

He has already sent people to investigate urgently, but time is too short and there has been no progress yet.

Luo Fengge was eager to find out whether this group of mysterious demon cultivators who appeared out of nowhere had run into the Cangming Guards by chance, or whether they were a hidden danger left behind in the mortal world by his damned brother.

If it's the latter—

He closed his eyes, a murderous intent rising in his heart.

When the future head of the Luo family chose to swallow his anger, another group of people refused to be disciplined and continued to seek revenge. This not only made him appear to lack prestige, but also made him seem somewhat weak in comparison.

There is something even more terrifying.

This is also the situation that Luo Fengge fears the most.

What if my brother isn't dead?

This is not impossible.

Not everyone is like Luo Fengming, harboring unrealistic and hypocritical dreams; most normal people will weigh their own interests in their hearts.

A living young master of the Luo family can be used to gain many benefits in times of need.

If you want him dead, you have to prove he's worthless.

That's why Luo Fengge was so eager to get all the families to back down. In the eyes of the Dragon Palace, it meant that the Heavenly Demon Mansion had already given up on that so-called young master, and they had no need to keep him around.

To eliminate any possibility of his brother's survival.

"These beasts—"

Thinking of this, Luo Fengge felt a sense of apprehension.

If those who attacked Cangming Guard continue their reckless behavior and actually uncover any clues about Luo Fengming from the Dragon Palace, and the Heavenly Demon Palace finds out, things will likely become very difficult to handle.

No matter what the situation, they must be eliminated as soon as possible!

Because the young master had his eyes closed, he did not notice the increasingly cold expression on the Ning family mansion master's face.

"Tsk."

Ning Yanche did not expect that Luo Fengge would so decisively give up this opportunity to choose again.

He wasn't angry about it, just a little sentimental.

The two sons of the Luo family are like two extremes.

One who wields immense power is eager to use it to accomplish extraordinary things, utterly ignorant of his own limitations.

The other is someone who clings to this power, desperately trying to stuff it into their crotch, fearing that it will be taken away by someone else.

If he had to choose one, Ning Yanche found that he actually preferred the former.

Of course, that's assuming that kid doesn't try to touch Qingzhi with his dirty hands.

After this feud, he saw both brothers as little beasts.

"Please do not worry, elders. I will handle this matter as soon as possible to prevent the Heavenly Demon Palace from suffering an undeserved disaster."

Luo Fengge opened his eyes and made another promise to everyone, saying with remorse, "However, I also hope that all the elders will not do anything more meaningless. These great demons have already offended the Dragon Palace. Recruiting them now will only bring harm and no benefit to my demon palace."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

The Fang family elder lamented, "They should be promising talents, but unfortunately the timing is wrong, so they are indeed of little use to us."

Xu Yuncheng stood quietly behind the young master, and seeing this, he finally felt relieved.

It seems I can sit comfortably in this position as butler for many more years. As for Old He, it would be best if he, like Young Master Fengming, were buried in the mortal world and never appeared in the Luo family again.

It's entirely harmful and offers absolutely no benefit!

It seems that all the elders agreed with Luo Fengge's statement that there was "no benefit" to it.

Ning Yanche shook his head slightly and turned to walk out of the courtyard.

As he stepped across the threshold, he slowly turned back and said meaningfully, "The banquet at Wangsun Palace was cancelled a few days ago."

It was a celebratory feast that lasted for several months.

Wine jars piled up like mountains, and delicacies flowed like an endless stream.

The aquatic tribe was celebrating the fact that the prince had personally killed the direct descendant of the Heavenly Demon Palace, the future head of the Luo family.

Even if everyone covered their ears and eyes, they could not deny that this was an insult to the entire Demon Palace.

Now, however, the banquet has come to an end because of a group of outsiders.

Ning Yanche wasn't sure if this could be considered a benefit.

Because he could no longer see whether the various families of the Demon Palace still cared about their reputation or dignity.

A simple sentence instantly made the atmosphere so awkward you could hear a pin drop.

Fortunately, Ning Yanche did not intend to further reveal the truth. He simply nodded to the effeminate young man and said, "I'll be waiting to see the day you go and learn from Hengshui."

Luo Fengge swayed slightly twice.

A moment later, he almost gritted his teeth to keep himself from looking too out of control.

He clasped his hands together and said sincerely, "I will certainly live up to the expectations of my elders!"

It wasn't until Ning Yanche turned and left the Luo family that the deep resentment in Luo Fengge's heart gradually surfaced in her eyes.

He knew very well that, in terms of both background and cultivation strength, he was no match for Lord Ning.

Therefore, that venomous resentment quickly shifted its target.

He will definitely get back the face he lost today from those beasts. Anyone who dares to cause trouble for the young master of the Luo family had better be prepared to bear the wrath of the Heavenly Demon Palace!

In this delicate atmosphere, the members of each family decided not to linger any longer and dispersed with their own thoughts.

The courtyard was deserted.

Luo Fengge turned around and slammed the door shut: "Investigate! Turn the place upside down, find these lowly beasts!"

at the same time.

Ning Yanche has left the mountain formation and is now walking on the ground.

White mist rose up around him.

Soon, Tan Feng stepped out of the underworld and said impatiently, "Master, good news! Miss is safe and sound."

Upon hearing this, Ning Yanche paused slightly, but quickly returned to normal without much reaction.

Seeing this, Tan Feng began to have doubts.

When he was looking for her, he was frantic with worry, but when he finally found her, he put on this indifferent and strict fatherly act. No wonder Miss Ning was always thinking about escaping from the Ning family.

But at least it turned out well.

Now, as long as the young lady is brought home, the Ning family no longer needs to get involved in worldly affairs.

Of course, while safety is paramount, those who dare to harbor thieving intentions must still be dealt with one by one.

"Look."

Tan Feng spread his hands, showing the results achieved by pooling the resources of an entire outer prefecture.

Those were several hazy auras.

Such a faint aura might not be of much use to others.

But my own master is different.

When a Nascent Soul breaks through to the Deity Transformation stage, they will encounter three divine trials, representing the soul, the physical body, and magical power respectively.

Choose one, knock on it, and then step over it with the demon infant. You will then be able to successfully obtain one of the three divine positions.

Those who unlock the gates of the soul transform into spirits, meaning they shed their flesh and blood, leaving only their souls.

Those who break through the physical barriers are called the primordial spirit, which refers to the original essence of qi and blood. Finally, those who break through the barriers with magical power are revered as the spirit of qi.

Each of the three has its own advantages and disadvantages, and the methods are completely different.

Ning Yanche took the first path.

Transforming into a spirit, one can now move freely between Yin and Yang, no longer bound by lifespan, and is most skilled at calculating cause and effect.

He has already opened the gate to the soul, but he still has attachments and is reluctant to cross it, so he can also be called a half-step deity.

"Less than I expected."

Ning Yanche glanced at him sideways, slightly surprised.

With just a handful of people, how could they pose a threat to the Cangming Guard?

However, it's also possible that his subordinates failed to collect all the necessary information.

With a casual wave of his sleeve, those auras seemed to come alive, twisting and spreading in place before transforming into a blurry human figure.

Lifeless faces began to appear on the figures.

"Huh, where is Miss's Qingxuan Lingxi Pendant?" Tan Feng looked at the first beautiful face that appeared, and was more surprised than pleased. It was thanks to the protection of this rare treasure from the mountains and seas that the other party was able to escape the master's sight.

How come it's been calculated again now?

"Old He, this is called a civet cat." Tan Feng suppressed his panic and began to explain the information he had gathered, one by one.

He introduced these unfamiliar faces to the old man.

"According to rumors, these two were sent out on an order, but in reality, it's more like they were kicked out of Luo Fengge's house."

"I originally thought that these two would probably go into hiding until one day they were found by the Hengshui Dragon Palace and died. I never expected that they would dare to come back."

He then pointed to the imposing figure and a woman: "Yuan Yuan and Su Xin are demon cultivators from Yongzhou. You should still remember these two."

The faces represented by these auras all corresponded to the information Tan Feng had received.

The biggest problem now is that these people alone are no match for the Cangming Guards, even if you include Miss and Dongling, it's still far from enough.

Only a wisp of life remained.

Moreover, it has yet to take shape.

"How dare this man steal Miss's Spirit Pendant!"

Tan Feng gritted his teeth in anger, but before he could finish speaking, the figures that had already coalesced began to disintegrate one after another!

He suddenly looked up at the master.

This is not something that can be accomplished by the Spirit Pendant alone.

"A Tribulation-Clearing Spiritual Root." Ning Yanche raised an eyebrow slightly and gave his answer.

"That sounds even more infuriating." Tan Feng suddenly realized, then scratched his ear.

The Qingxuan Lingxi Pendant is a protective magic treasure. Although concealing one's aura is only part of its function, it seems rather selfish that this unknown person, who already possesses the Spirit Root of Tribulation, would still want to take this magic treasure.

"However, those who have painstakingly cultivated such spiritual roots are bound to be cautious and timid. Miss should be fine in the short term," Tan Feng quickly added to comfort her.

"Is that so?" Ning Yanche glanced at him noncommittally.

"Well."

Tan Feng hesitated for a moment, then suddenly realized something and looked surprised.

Since that person possessed the Tribulation-Averting Spiritual Root, there was no reason why he couldn't see the tribulation clouds above Hengshui. Not only did he not dodge, but he also took the initiative to approach.

They go wherever there is trouble.

Damn it, this is called "avoiding calamity," but it's actually being used as "responding to calamity"!

"I'll split my forces into two groups and send men to Yongzhou. They can't escape, so we'll find them."

No way!

Tan Feng hurriedly tore open a hole, intending to crawl back into the underworld: "If I don't settle scores with them, these people won't know how powerful the Ning family is. Don't worry, Master, I will bring Miss back as soon as possible."

"Who said I was going to settle accounts?"

Ning Yanche suddenly called out to the other party and said calmly, "We need to send people and investigate the matter. After finding them, keep an eye on the surrounding area to prevent any trouble from happening."

"Not bringing the young lady back? And you're still keeping an eye on Hengshui for them?"

Tan Feng could hardly believe his ears. In his opinion, these people dared to have designs on the young lady, and even being ground to dust wouldn't be enough.

"Not only Hengshui, but also the Luo family." Ning Yanche raised his eyes and gazed at the sky, a hint of disdain on his lips. How could he possibly hide Luo Fengge's little schemes from him?

"I understand, but why?" Tan Feng looked over, puzzled.

Ning Yanche withdrew his gaze, showing no intention of explaining.

He truly looked down on those two little beasts from the Luo family.

But looking at myself, how well have I taught Qingzhi?

Even now, Ning Yanche still doesn't have an answer in his heart.

The gate to his soul had been opened. No matter how hard he tried to hold on to the gate, he would eventually be forcibly pushed through, thus abandoning his physical body and becoming a hermit in the inner palace.

He hopes to find the answer to this question before that day arrives.

Besides.

Ning Yanche still felt that the Luo family was a disgrace.

It even reached the point where he no longer cared about being among the various families of the outer court.

If Luo Fengge were to become the head of the manor, Ning Yanche would even consider giving up his own position.

Being on par with this person is hardly a remarkable story.

In comparison, if Lao He were still alive, the people at the foot of the mountain would act on behalf of the Luo family, following Luo Fengming's will, which would make him feel less ashamed.

Putting aside the question of how capable this group of people are.

At least the banquet at Wangsun Palace has stopped.

No?
