Chapter 74

"Tell me more!" Nie Yun shook his head and clasped his hands.

Nie Yun had always found this matter very strange. The demon chasing Luo Qingcheng actually had a high-ranking Hou Clan bloodline, which was simply unbelievable!

"Actually, this is related to a treasure left by our family's ancestor!" Luo Zhanhao didn't hide anything and slowly said, "Ten generations ago, our family had a supreme-level expert named Luo Qu..."

"Luo Qu? Luo Qu's tomb?" Nie Yun was taken aback.

"How do you know about Luo Qu's tomb? That's a family secret..." Luo Zhanhao glanced at his daughter, seemingly realizing something, but then he was puzzled again, "That's not right, I only just told Qingcheng, she shouldn't have known before, and you two haven't met since then..."

Hearing Luo Zhanhao's words, Nie Yun helplessly shook his head. He really didn't know how Luo Qingcheng had explained it, even her father was speculating about their relationship.

"Dad..." Luo Qingcheng, who understood what Luo Zhanhao meant, blushed.

"I heard about it from somewhere else. I only know there's such a place, but I don't know anything else. You should tell me more!" Nie Yun was afraid that the City Lord would say too much and make him feel awkward, so he quickly said.

"Ancestor Luo Qu was a supreme-level expert, ennobled as King Qu by the Divine Wind Empire, with his fief being this Luo Water City. The lifespan of a supreme expert is limited. Before his death, he ordered the construction of a special tomb, where he placed all his most precious treasures, including cultivation techniques, martial arts, secret skills, and even a huge secret left for his descendants! No one knows what it is!"

"The tomb is sealed with a special seal. It's impossible to break it unless one has the most suitable bloodline in the family. After three generations, about a hundred years, no one in the family reached the supreme level, not even a Qi Master. There was no one with a suitable bloodline, so our royal status as King Qu declined. The Divine Wind Empire revoked our fief but, out of respect for our ancestor, granted us a hereditary noble title as City Lord!"

"About a hundred years ago, the demon race launched a large-scale invasion, plundering the entire Luo Water City. The City Lord's residence was also severely damaged, and all the information about Luo Qu's tomb was lost. Therefore, we lost the treasure left by our ancestor! Until Qingcheng was born! After her birth, I tested her bloodline, and it matched our ancestor's bloodline with 100% compatibility! This means that if we can find Luo Qu's tomb, we can open it!"

"Unfortunately, the information about Luo Qu's tomb has been lost, and I don't know where the treasure left by our ancestor is! But the demons know. Somehow, they heard about Qingcheng's bloodline compatibility and started targeting her. That's why I sent her to the Hundred Flowers Sect to protect her using their strength!"

Luo Zhanhao revealed everything he knew.

Everyone in Luo Water City thought Luo Zhanhao sent his daughter to the Hundred Flowers Sect because there was no successor and he feared the four major families would retaliate. They never expected the most important reason to be this!

"So that's how it is!" Nie Yun finally understood the origin of Luo Qu's tomb and couldn't help but feel surprised at his good fortune.

Luo Qu's descendants didn't know where Luo Qu's tomb was, but his father had accidentally stumbled upon it and obtained the method to advance to a Qi Master. Such incredible luck was truly enviable!

"Yes! As City Lord, I have many sources of information. After observation, the demons are becoming restless and seem to be planning another invasion of Luo Water City. A great turmoil is about to begin, so I hope to find someone to entrust my daughter to, so I can die with peace of mind!" Luo Zhanhao glanced at Nie Yun.

"Dad, what are you talking about? Don't say such things. You're fine, and our Luo Water City will definitely be fine!"

Luo Qingcheng, who never expected her father to make such plans, had tears welling up in her eyes.

Hearing this, Nie Yun also understood. No wonder he used the excuse of a son-in-law, making it seem like Luo Qingcheng couldn't find a husband. It turned out he was afraid that if the demons invaded and he died, his daughter would be left alone and without care!

Among the talented young men in Luo Water City, most were like Nie Qiang. Although he hadn't met Nie Yun, he knew that Nie Yun had saved his daughter and left a deep impression on her. That's why Luo Zhanhao made this decision that left Nie Yun both amused and exasperated.

"City Lord, you're overthinking it. Even if the demons haven't invaded, we still have ways to deal with them!" Understanding Luo Zhanhao's intentions, Nie Yun shook his head.

"Have ways? Sigh, you're young, you don't know how terrifying the demons are. If they really come, we won't have a way to deal with them!"

Luo Zhanhao sighed.

"I don't know how terrifying the demons are..." Hearing the City Lord's words, Nie Yun almost laughed. In his previous life, if he said he was the second most knowledgeable about the demons, no one would dare claim first!

If the Blood Hell Demon, who made everyone tremble, didn't know about the demons, it would be a joke!

"If the information about Luo Qu's tomb hadn't been lost, we could rely on Qingcheng's bloodline to open the treasure left by our ancestor and find a way to deal with the demon invasion. But now... there's no way. That's why I called you here, hoping you could take Qingcheng away and take care of her in the future..."

Luo Zhanhao seemed to be making his final arrangements.

The City Lord's residence had the most precious documents, which detailed the demon invasion a hundred years ago. As City Lord, Luo Zhanhao naturally knew how terrifying the demon invasion was and understood that the so-called four major families and the City Lord's residence couldn't defeat them. Therefore, he had already started making preparations for the worst!

"Take care of Qingcheng? City Lord, you're overthinking it. If the demons invade, we'll deal with them together. Thinking about these things is useless..."

Nie Yun interrupted Luo Zhanhao's final words.

"Deal with them? Luo Water City doesn't even have a single Qi Master, how can we deal with them?" Luo Zhanhao seemed angry at the young man's "naive" idea.

"No Qi Master? Who said that? My father, Nie Xiaotian, has already successfully broken through and is now a Qi Master. And you, I'll tell you the method to break through to Qi Master right now. In less than ten days, Luo Water City will definitely have another Qi Master!"

Nie Yun said.

Breaking through to Qi Master was very precious in others' eyes, but for Nie Yun, who had lived two lives, it was less valuable than an ordinary cultivation technique! He could casually mention it, and it was even more detailed and valuable than what Nie Xiaotian obtained in Luo Qu's tomb!

"Nie Xiaotian has broken through? This..." Hearing this news, Luo Zhanhao's eyes widened, not quite believing it. But then he thought of something and sighed, "Even if I can break through, Luo Water City will only have two Qi Masters. According to the information I have, the demons are coming with great force. Two Qi Masters are just a drop in the bucket, useless..."

"Ha ha..." Hearing his words, Nie Yun smiled faintly, "What if I told you someone knows where Luo Qu's tomb is and can find it?"

His words were soft, but they were like a thunderclap.

PS: I thought we were just a few thousand points away from the front page, and with a bit more effort, we could make it. But I was wrong. They gained several thousand members and clicks from midnight to this morning, and their index shot up to over 50,000. Sweat, their readers read at night, we can't compete. Anyway, even if we make it to the front page, we'll be off the list by tomorrow morning. We're almost through the new book month, so we won't push anymore.

Maybe because I've been in the doldrums for too long, I don't understand many rules now. Why do I get penalized and banned for diligently writing, updating, and voting, while others become wildly popular and go unnoticed? Damn it!
