Chapter 2

In the room, Nie Yun knew who was outside the moment he heard the sound—it was Nie Chao, who had severely injured him five days ago!

Nie Chao was a descendant of the inner branch. Although he had only activated one bloodline factor, he possessed the elixirs and cultivation techniques provided by the clan, which made his cultivation speed no slower than Nie Yun's in his previous life, and even surpassed it. He had already reached the peak of the third level of the Qi Sea Realm, far above Nie Yun, who was only at the initial stage of the Qi Sea Realm!

However, now that Nie Yun had integrated the memories of two lifetimes, his combat experience was hundreds of times stronger than that of the clan leader of the Nie Family. It didn't matter if it was just a peak Qi Sea Realm cultivator; even if a True Qi Realm cultivator came, he would still be beaten to the ground!

In his previous life, without the current combat experience, this guy had severely injured him and then turned the tables within the clan, falsely accusing him of assaulting an inner branch descendant. As a result, his branch was punished with a ten-thousand-tael silver fine!

The Nie Tian branch was poor and destitute, unable to pay the fine, and in the end, they were forced to hand over the Luo Shui Golden Shield, which represented the highest honor of the branch and his father!

Failing to protect the honor of one's family is a great disgrace to anyone!

Because of this incident, his father fell seriously ill and nearly died!

Also because of this incident, his cousin, the daughter of his uncle, willingly married the second son of the Feng family, a playboy, to ease the crisis of the branch, and was eventually driven to suicide!

One could say that although Nie Chao was not the main culprit behind the decline of the Nie Tian branch, he played a significant role in exacerbating the situation, and even a hundred deaths would not be enough to resolve the hatred!

In his previous life, he was severely injured and his strength plummeted, making him no match for Nie Chao, and he ultimately endured it. In this life, with the chance to be reborn, how could he possibly let history repeat itself!

With anger burning in his heart, Nie Yun looked at the arrogant and domineering cousin in the courtyard, his eyes cold.

"I wondered who dared to speak to me like that. It's my cousin Nie Yun. What, are you better? Are you better and thinking of getting beaten again?" Nie Chao's face turned cold when he heard the words, but he immediately laughed when he saw it was Nie Yun speaking.

If Nie Yun dared to speak to him like that, he must be itching for a beating!

"Yun'er, why did you come out? Your injuries aren't fully healed yet. Go back and rest quickly!" Seeing her son suddenly come out and anger Nie Chao, Nie Ling's face turned pale, and she quickly walked over to pull Nie Yun's arm.

"Nie Ling, you saw it with your own eyes. Your good son Nie Yun, as a descendant of the outer branch, spoke disrespectfully to the inner branch descendant Nie Chao. The clan's punishment is fair and just, with no favoritism. What do you have to say about this?"

Before Nie Ling could finish speaking, a cold, sarcastic snort came from behind Nie Chao. A gray-clothed young man was looking over with a wicked smile, holding a piece of paper with the clan's punishment order.

The paper clearly stated the ten-thousand-tael silver fine for the Nie Tian branch.

This young man was Nie Chaoxing, a member of the clan's law enforcement team, with mid-Qi Sea Realm strength. He and Nie Chao were always in cahoots, and this time, he was the one to announce the clan's punishment order.

The clan's law enforcement team was established by the Nie Family to manage the various branches, responsible for announcing and enforcing various punishments. They had great authority and power, and were the most feared and hated existence among the branches.

"My son's injuries aren't fully healed, and he's speaking recklessly. Don't take it seriously..."

Nie Ling quickly waved her hand and tried to pull Nie Yun's arm, but found that her usually obedient son was now standing firmly in place, as if rooted to the ground.

"Mother, it's fine. They're just two ignorant clowns. I know what I'm doing!" Nie Yun patted his mother's arm and smiled faintly.

"Yun'er..." Seeing the confidence radiating from her son, Nie Ling was stunned.

Her son, influenced by the family, although diligent in cultivation, always seemed somewhat inferior and lacked confidence. How could he dare to speak to Nie Chao and Nie Chaoxing like that today? Especially with his calm and steady gaze, occasionally flashing a sharp, unobscured brilliance...

And this brilliance, she had only seen in Nie Xiaotian's eyes back then!

Could it be... her son has changed? Changed to be as confident and proud as the former Xiaotian, with a sharp and unobscured brilliance?

"Two ignorant clowns? Good, good, this is you forcing my hand. Kneel in front of me and call yourself a beast, a bastard, and maybe I'll spare you. Otherwise... ah!"

Pang!

Before his arrogant words could finish, Nie Chaoxing felt a pain in his face, and his vision immediately turned into a kaleidoscope of colors—red, black, yellow, and blue. He let out a惨call and flew back seven or eight meters, blood spewing from the corner of his mouth.

"You dare to hit a law enforcement descendant... You have a lot of nerve. I will report this to the clan..."

Nie Chaoxing roared, but before he could finish, he saw a huge foot coming towards his face, stomping down hard!

Crack!

All his teeth were kicked out, and his mouth became a thick sausage.

"Stop it! Nie Yun, not only did you openly defy the clan's punishment order, but you also beat a law enforcement descendant. You're finished, and your branch is finished. I will report to the clan and have the men of your branch beaten to death and the women sold into prostitution..."

The incident happened too suddenly. When Nie Chao saw Nie Chaoxing lying on the ground, unrecognizable, he was instantly enraged and let out a long roar.

"Men beaten to death? Women sold into prostitution?" Nie Yun's eyes narrowed. With the experience of two lifetimes and having reached the peak of the Dantian Bridge Realm before his rebirth, how could he accept such a threat? His feet blurred, and he appeared in front of Nie Chao in a flash.

"Want to ambush me? Dream on. I'm not Nie Chaoxing. I've trained to defend against ambushes... ah!"

Just as Nie Chao confidently shouted that he wasn't Nie Chaoxing, his vision went dark, and he followed the same fate, flying out and landing on the ground, his face twisted like a pretzel, his body trembling and convulsing.

"Right, you're not Nie Chaoxing. You will receive even more cruel punishment than him!" With a cold snort, Nie Yun walked up, and with a series of crisp sounds, Nie Chao's Qi Sea shattered, and his arms and leg bones were all broken.

"Ah..."

Nie Chao, who had been bullying the youth in front of him a few days ago, let out a惨call and fainted. From the looks of it, even if he were saved, he probably wouldn't survive!

Ignoring the unconscious Nie Chao, Nie Yun approached the law enforcement descendant Nie Chaoxing again.

"Cousin Nie Chaoxing, when you and Nie Chao came to punish us, our branch obediently handed over the ten-thousand-tael silver. But Nie Chao, seeing the money, decided to kill you, and you used your ultimate move to severely injure him... Is that correct?"

"You... " Nie Chaoxing wanted to scold the other party for lying, but seeing the cold and sinister gaze in the youth's eyes, he swallowed his words.

This gaze was like that of a prehistoric beast, ready to tear someone apart at any moment. Nie Chaoxing was just a disciple who relied on the power of others; he had never experienced such a situation and was already intimidated.

"Those who understand the times are wise. I believe Cousin Nie Chaoxing will say this!" Nie Yun smiled faintly and lightly pinched the joints on the other's body.

"Ah... you... what... did you... do to me..."

Just as he was wondering why Nie Yun was doing this, Nie Chaoxing let out a惨call, and large sweat drops rolled down his forehead.

Every joint in his body felt like someone was sawing it with an iron saw, and the excruciating pain made him feel like he was about to collapse.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you. This is something I learned from a high expert, called the 'Zi Wu Bone-Grinding Technique.' Those who are hit by this technique will experience grinding pain in all their joints at midnight and noon every day. If not treated, after forty-nine days, all their joints will turn into pus, and they will become completely disabled!"

Nie Yun rubbed his fingers as if talking about something that didn't concern him.

"There's one more thing to tell you. This 'Zi Wu Bone-Grinding Technique' is planted by me, and only I can cure it. Not just in Luo Shui City, but even in the entire Divine Wind Empire, you won't find a second person! A friendly reminder: if you try to remove it forcefully without the correct method, your pain will double, and it will not just be at midnight and noon, but also at the hour of Xin Mao..."

Nie Yun's voice was not loud, but it sent shivers down Nie Chaoxing's spine, making his back feel icy cold.

"Rest assured... Nie Chao... is a madman... I... will report his crimes... and clear your name..."

Struggling to stand up, Nie Chaoxing, speaking in a voice he could barely hear himself, hurriedly shouted. He had no choice; the pain from the 'Zi Wu Bone-Grinding Technique' was too intense, and he had to submit.

"Cousin Nie Chaoxing is truly wise, understanding the situation so quickly. Please take Nie Chao away from our branch! I won't provide any food!"

Waving his hand, Nie Yun's lips curled up.

"Yes..."

Struggling to carry Nie Chao, Nie Chaoxing slowly walked out and soon left the courtyard.

"In my previous life, I made mistakes, and I will correct them all. What I lost, I will take back. Those who bullied me, I will make you all regret being alive, without any mercy!"

Seeing the two leave, Nie Yun clenched his fists and made a solemn vow.

With the experience of two lives, Nie Yun's personality was no longer as simple as in his previous life. His mind had undergone a transformation, like a butterfly emerging from a cocoon!
