Chapter 70

Nie Family Grand Hall.

"It's been over ten days, and the people from the Nie Heavenly Branch seem to have vanished into thin air. Could they have already fled?" Feng Tianxing lightly tapped his fingers on the table, his face dark and serious.

"Fled? If that's the case, it would be disastrous. We can't catch Nie Xiaotian and his group, and we won't get the secret to advancing to the Qi Sect. We'll have offended the City Lord's Mansion for nothing, and this deal will be a total loss!" Chen Tongsheng, a businessman, liked to measure gains and losses in business terms.

"Don't worry, everyone. The City Lord's Mansion has recognized Nie Yun as their son-in-law. If we just announce that Nie Qiang and Luo Qingcheng are getting married, I don't believe Nie Yun won't show up! As long as we can catch Nie Yun, Nie Xiaotian won't be a problem!" Nie Haotian smiled faintly, as if everything was already planned out, and he had the situation under control.

"According to Nie Yun's past behavior, spreading this news should make him come, but the situation is different now. In the past, he had the City Lord's Mansion backing him, so his actions were unbridled. Now, with the four major families working together to suppress the City Lord's Mansion, if he knows he will die if he returns, how could he possibly walk into a trap?"

Yang Tiecheng was unconvinced.

"Don't worry. Even if this doesn't work, I know the location of Nie Tian's grave very well. If necessary, we can dig up his grave, desecrate his body, and make Nie Yun appear! As a descendant, if he doesn't show up when his ancestor is being desecrated, what face will he have to live in this world?"

Nie Haotian snorted coldly.

"What? Desecrate a body? Isn't that a bit too much? Digging up graves and desecrating bodies, if this news gets out, what face will the four major families have left in Luoshui City?"

"Too much? Nie Tian is still your uncle. Doing this is too heartless!"

Upon hearing Nie Haotian's method, Feng Tianxing and the others exchanged glances, frowning.

One should not harm the descendants or disgrace the ancestors. Digging up someone's ancestral grave and desecrating the body has already crossed the moral底线.

"What's the problem? Don't you want to advance to the Qi Sect? Since we've already taken action, we must use any means necessary. Being hesitant and timid, and still expecting to get the secret, is just a dream!"

Nie Haotian snorted, then continued, "Don't worry. This is just a last resort. Nie Yun knows that Luo Qingcheng is marrying Nie Qiang, so he will definitely show up. Qiang'er has already set up a web of traps at the City Lord's Mansion. If everything goes as planned, we'll see Nie Yun captured tonight!"

"I hope so, but you still need to be careful. From the information we've gathered, Nie Yun is very unusual. We must be well-prepared. If he manages to rescue Luo Qingcheng, we'll lose everything!"

Yang Tiecheng snorted.

"Rescue Luo Qingcheng? Ha! With his True Qi Realm strength? Are you joking? I know he has a tiger-headed beast that excels in speed, but once he enters the City Lord's Mansion, he won't be able to leave! Don't worry, speed is useless against absolute strength!"

Nie Haotian waved his hand confidently.

"Clan Leader, someone asked me to deliver a gift box, saying it's to congratulate the four major families on their success!"

Suddenly, a guard's voice rang out from outside the hall.

"Gift box? What gift box? Bring it in!" Nie Haotian was taken aback.

"Yes!" With that, a guard walked in, carrying a box about a foot in diameter.

"Haha, it seems there are still people in Luoshui City who understand the situation. They know we're about to dominate, so they're sending gifts... Hmm, who sent this?" Nie Haotian laughed, took the gift box, and wanted to see who sent it, but found that it was completely smooth, with no writing on it.

Usually, when someone sends a gift box, they write something like "Wishing you success" or "Congratulations." This box had nothing written on it, so how would he know who sent it?

Sending a gift to curry favor and not even writing a note... Nie Haotian shook his head.

"I didn't see who sent it, but he said he's just a minor figure in the Nie Family. He said this item is extremely precious and that the Clan Leader will be very pleased when he sees it!" The guard handed over the box.

"Extremely precious? Very pleased? Hmm, not bad. It's rare for them to be so filial. Open the box. If I'm really satisfied, I'll make sure this minor figure rises to prominence!"

Hearing the guard's words, Nie Haotian laughed heartily, stood up from his seat, and walked over confidently, then casually opened the box. But when he saw what was inside, he took several steps back and let out a惨呼!

"Qiang'er..."

The box didn't contain any treasure, but his son Nie Qiang's head!

Someone had actually sent Nie Qiang's head in a gift box!

"It's Nie Qiang!"

"Nie Qiang was actually killed?"

"Who in Luoshui City dares to be so bold? Do they want to die?"

The other three clan leaders also saw what was in the box and were shocked.

Killing Nie Qiang and sending his head was a blatant provocation!

"Clan Leader Haotian, are you satisfied with my gift? I spent a lot of effort and thought long and hard to prepare this..."

At that moment, a faint laugh echoed from outside the hall, and several figures walked in.

"Nie Yun, Nie Xiaotian, Feng Xiao, Yang Yan, Chen Xing?"

Leading the group were Nie Yun and Nie Xiaotian, the father and son they had been trying to capture, with Feng Xiao, Yang Yan, and Chen Xing following behind.

"Feng Xiao, why are you with them? Come over here quickly!" Feng Tianlong, seeing his only son with Nie Yun, changed his expression and shouted urgently.

"Chen Xing, you come over too. This is an internal matter of their family. You'd better not get involved!"

Chen Tongsheng also urged.

Although his son had left that day, they thought it was just a youthful whim and that he would return in a few days. They didn't expect him to come back, kill Nie Qiang, and get involved with Nie Yun and the others.

Putting aside the fact that he killed Nie Qiang, Nie Yun and Nie Xiaotian were already their targets. Getting involved with them was just asking for trouble.

"Father, give up! Since you know this is an internal matter of their family, why are you getting involved? Let's go home!" Chen Xing shook his head upon hearing his father's shout.

He had chosen to follow Feng Xiao and the others for strategic reasons, taking a gamble. Now, it seemed he had made the right choice!

Nie Yun went to the City Lord's Mansion alone, not only killing Nie Qiang but also all the elders who were blocking him. When he first heard this news, he almost fainted from shock!

Killing over a dozen experts at the Chenggang Realm in one go, even a Bingjia Realm expert couldn't do that. But this young man had done it, confirming his belief that following Nie Yun was much better than following Nie Haotian!

"Ridiculous! What right do you have to lecture me in public?"

Chen Tongsheng's face darkened upon hearing his son's rebuke.

"Chen Xing, don't worry. I won't kill your father, but his position as clan leader is over. I'll make you the clan leader!"

Hearing the conversation, Nie Yun smiled faintly.

"You won't kill me? Are you still asleep? If you had stayed hidden, we might not have found you, but now that you've come here, do you think you can leave?"

Chen Tongsheng almost laughed out loud at the young man's words.

He was a peak Bingjia Realm expert. For someone to speak to him like this, they must be incredibly bold!

"Daring to kill my son, today, no matter what support you have, you will die! Guards, seize these people!"

Holding his son's head, Nie Haotian's hands trembled, his face twisted in rage.

"Guards, seize these people quickly!"

He shouted again, but there was no response. He shouted once more, but still, no one responded.

"There's no need to shout. Your loyal subordinates are already... all dead!"

Nie Yun said calmly. Before he finished, the sound of hurried footsteps echoed from the front of the hall, and one by one, bodies flew in, quickly piling up.

They were Nie Haotian's loyal subordinates.
