Chapter 75

"Does anyone know where Luo Qu's tomb is? You're really serious about this..." Luo Zhanhao suddenly stood up, his hands gripping Nie Yun's shoulders, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.

Luo Qu's tomb, as a treasure left by the ancestors, was something the descendants had always failed to locate, which had been a constant regret for him. Now, hearing this news, intense excitement filled his mind, making him almost lose himself.

"Hehe!" Seeing his excitement, Nie Yun endured the pain in his shoulders and forced a dry laugh.

"Sorry, I got too excited. Tell me, what exactly happened?" Seeing the strange look on the young man's face, Luo Zhanhao realized his loss of composure, smiled awkwardly, and released his grip.

"It's like this. Didn't I say that my father, Nie Xiaotian, had successfully broken through to the Qi Master realm? The method to break through to the Qi Master realm is exactly what he obtained from Luo Qu's tomb! If it weren't for this method, Nie Haotian wouldn't have been so persistent in dealing with us..." Nie Yun explained.

"I see. If I'm not mistaken, the four major families' alliance this time is probably also because of this!" Luo Zhanhao, being a smart person, quickly understood after hearing Nie Yun's explanation.

"If we can find Luo Qu's tomb and successfully open it, obtain the treasures inside, and find the secret method to defeat the demon race, we might even have a chance to fight against them!" Nie Yun said.

"Indeed. According to the family history, our ancestor Luo Qu did leave a method to deal with the demon race. If we can enter Luo Qu's tomb and retrieve this method, our Luoshui City might not be helpless in a battle!" Luo Zhanhao understood and couldn't help but laugh out loud. "I never thought you would be my lucky star, solving the problem that has troubled me for days as soon as you arrived. Good, I'll gather the leaders of the four major families to discuss how to deal with the demon race! We won't just be on the defensive anymore; we can fight back!"

"Gather the leaders of the four major families? You mean Nie Haotian, Feng Tianxing, and the others?" Nie Yun choked on his saliva.

"Exactly. They are all peak Armament Realm experts. If they can unite and act under a single command, our chances of dealing with the demon race will be much greater!" Luo Zhanhao's eyes were clear, showing no resentment for the past conflicts with the four major families.

"Um... I have something to tell you, and I feel a bit embarrassed..." Seeing his expression, Nie Yun suddenly felt a surge of guilt.

The city lord, for the sake of Luoshui City, had put aside all grievances, while he had killed Nie Haotian and so many others who had been against him!

"Embarrassed? What is it?" Luo Zhanhao was taken aback.

"The leaders of the four major families, Nie Haotian, Feng Tianxing, Chen Tongsheng, and Yang Tiejun, they... they are all dead!" Nie Yun scratched his head.

"All dead? They are all Armament Realm experts. Even if Nie Xiaotian became a Qi Master, it would be hard for him to kill them directly. What exactly happened?" Luo Zhanhao was shocked.

"Um, it's like this..." Nie Yun slowly recounted what had happened in the Nie family's grand hall.

"Possessed by a demon spirit? You're sure it was a demon spirit?" Hearing that Nie Haotian had been possessed by a demon spirit and turned into a Qi Master, Luo Zhanhao's eyes widened in surprise.

This news was terrifying. To be possessed by a demon spirit, it had to be at least a high-level demon of the royal lineage. Why would someone of this level come to Luoshui City?

"It must be Luo Qu's tomb! It seems they have been watching us for a long time. If we go to Luo Qu's tomb again, we might be ambushed by the demon race, which would be very dangerous!" Luo Zhanhao's eyes widened as he realized the key point and quickly said.

"Right!" Nie Yun had already thought of this and nodded slowly.

"By the way, you mentioned that you know a secret method to deal with the demon race... How did you learn this?" Luo Zhanhao, recalling how the young man had used a secret method to injure the demon-possessed "Nie Haotian," looked at him in disbelief.

Secret methods were more precious than martial techniques and could only be used by those who had reached the Qi Master level. He was amazed that Nie Yun, at the peak of the Gang Realm, had already mastered and successfully activated one.

"It was my master who taught me!" Nie Yun had no choice but to bring up his master again, using Yang Yan as an example.

Although he had only recently met City Lord Luo Zhanhao, Nie Yun knew he was very upright and dedicated to Luoshui City, so he didn't hide much from him.

"I never thought you would have such an opportunity. No wonder you have such strength at such a young age..." Hearing about Nie Yun's opportunity, Luo Zhanhao was not envious but genuinely happy. "In that case, I can rest assured leaving my daughter with you..."

"Cough, cough!" Nie Yun was speechless. Why bring this up again...

Logically, Luo Qingcheng, with her stunning beauty, was a rare beauty, and Nie Yun naturally wouldn't dislike her. However, having lived two lives, his mindset was that of an old man, and he couldn't quickly develop feelings for a girl, especially since...

Thinking of his past life, Nie Yun's heart ached, his face darkened, and his eyes became deep and cold, as if he had returned to that time, filled with helplessness and despair deep inside!

"Father, what are you talking about! I'm still young, and I need to focus on cultivation..."

Hearing her father's words, Luo Qingcheng anxiously scolded, her beautiful eyes secretly glancing at the young man. When she saw his expression, she suddenly stopped, feeling as if she had been hit by a heavy stone in her heart.

Does he already have someone in his heart? What kind of story, what kind of life and death, could make such a calm and composed person, who remains unperturbed even in the face of a collapsing mountain, show such an expression?

"If we can safely get through this demon race issue, you two can do as you please!" Ignoring Nie Yun's change, Luo Zhanhao quickly waved his hand, not wanting to say more when his daughter got angry.

"City Lord Luo, I will now tell you the method to break through to the Qi Master realm. You can try to break through, while I go back to ask my father for the exact location of Luo Qu's tomb. We can then discuss how to proceed together!"

Thinking of his past life and that incident, Nie Yun lost all interest and said indifferently.

"Alright!" Luo Zhanhao nodded.

Nie Yun then explained the method to break through to the Qi Master realm. Although it seemed complicated, it was actually very simple. The Qi Master realm, the master level of Qi Sea cultivators, required a broad and inclusive mindset and the capacity to embrace all rivers.

As long as the rivers flowed into the sea, the true qi in the Qi Sea would form its own characteristics and coalesce into its own laws, making the breakthrough to the Qi Master realm as simple as drinking water or eating a meal!

Soon, Nie Yun finished explaining the method to break through to the Qi Master realm.

"I'll go back now!"

After saying this, Nie Yun ignored Luo Qingcheng's slightly sad gaze, leaped onto Little Tiger's back, and the two of them sped back to the Nie family.

PS: There is a female lead, but she hasn't appeared yet. Let's discuss whether a single female lead or multiple female leads would be better...

Please continue to recommend, even if we can't make the list, more recommendations still look good, right?
