Chapter 27

The Nie family.

Nie Tian had been missing for a full ten days. During these ten days, Nie Donghai forced Nie Beichuan to join him in demanding Nie Tian's return from the Yun family.

The Yun family firmly denied any involvement in Nie Tian's sudden disappearance.

In the past, due to dissatisfaction with Nie Donghai, the Lingyun Sect rarely paid attention to his affairs.

However, this time, for some unknown reason, after Nie Donghai explained Nie Tian's situation to the Lingyun Sect, the sect immediately arranged for Li Fan to come down the mountain.

Li Fan, leading Nie Donghai, disregarded the Yun family's face and thoroughly searched their entire estate.

Unfortunately, Li Fan did not find Nie Tian at the Yun family's residence.

Li Fan did not give up easily. He directly went to the Yuan family in Hanstone City and conducted a thorough search there as well.

But he still found nothing.

After ten days, Li Fan remained at the Nie family and, using the power of the Lingyun Sect, continued to search for Nie Tian in the surrounding cities.

This time, the Lingyun Sect was truly concerned about Nie Tian's disappearance and was searching the world for him.

As the current head of the Nie family, Nie Beichuan, seeing the Lingyun Sect mobilize such resources, felt a bit gleeful in private but publicly cooperated fully.

In the early morning, Nie Qian and Nie Donghai came to Li Fan's guest room to ask if there were any new messages from the Lingyun Sect.

Seeing Li Fan shake his head helplessly, Nie Qian said weakly, "Mr. Li, Little Tian is our spiritual pillar. We only have... Little Tian left. Please, you must find Little Tian."

"Please, Mr. Li, do your best," Nie Donghai pleaded with red eyes.

In these ten days, he had not slept a single good night, looking increasingly aged.

Nie Tian's disappearance had nearly driven him to the brink of collapse, plagued by heart demons, calling out Nie Tian's name softly every night, hoping to suddenly see Nie Tian return.

"I have contacted many friends and inquired about Nie Tian within a hundred miles. As soon as Nie Tian appears, I will receive the news immediately," Li Fan assured them, then frowned, puzzled, "Let me be honest with you, this... might really have nothing to do with the Yun family or the Yuan family. There are a few people within the Yun family and the Yuan family who have a good relationship with our Lingyun Sect. I have thoroughly inquired through them, and they all know nothing about Nie Tian."

"If it's not the Yun family or the Yuan family, then who could it be?" Nie Qian was almost on the verge of despair.

The Lingyun Sect's concern for Nie Tian moved Nie Donghai and Nie Qian, knowing that they were truly doing their best.

If the Lingyun Sect, with all its resources, could not find Nie Tian, the Nie family... had even less of a chance.

"Rest assured, as long as Nie Tian is still alive, there will be a way," Li Fan consoled them.

At that moment, Li Fan's expression suddenly changed, and he let out a light "hmm" before quickly leaving the room.

Nie Donghai and Nie Qian also hurriedly followed.

"Over there! The spatial fluctuations are extremely abnormal!" As soon as they stepped out, Li Fan pointed to a spot, his expression strange: "There is a spatial rift!"

Following Li Fan's finger, Nie Donghai and Nie Qian focused and saw that strange sounds were coming from the air above Nie Tian's room.

"It's Little Tian's room!"

Nie Qian and Nie Donghai, breathing rapidly, ran as fast as they could.

Hearing that it was the room where Nie Tian had disappeared, Li Fan's expression changed, and he became intensely interested.

"Whoosh!"

Moving like a bolt of lightning, Li Fan overtook Nie Qian and Nie Donghai, arriving at the scene first.

When Nie Qian and Nie Donghai arrived, Li Fan suddenly shouted, "Do not approach!"

Many members of the Nie family, also sensing the abnormal changes, gathered from all directions.

Soon, there were over a dozen Nie family members around Nie Tian's room.

"Crack!"

The small stone house where Nie Tian was, under everyone's watchful eyes, suddenly shattered.

Bright cracks, like sharp blades, crisscrossed the air above the house.

From these cracks, dazzling lights occasionally flashed, like meteors, disappearing in the unknown space within the cracks.

This area of space became extremely unstable, with chaotic magnetic fields, and colorful fragments of light occasionally flashing from the spatial cracks.

When these fragments of light touched anything, they would instantly explode, generating violent shockwaves.

"Boom!"

Nie Tian's stone house finally exploded, and as the stones shattered, the spatial rifts twisted and became even more unstable.

"Everyone, step back!"

Li Fan's expression changed dramatically, and he shouted, ordering all the Nie family members to immediately move away from the area.

"Move! Everyone, move!"

Nie Beichuan, who had rushed over, also turned pale at the sight and shouted loudly.

The Nie family members, already uneasy, quickly evacuated the area upon hearing Li Fan and Nie Beichuan's warnings.

After retreating a hundred meters, they felt slightly more at ease and looked back at the chaotic spatial field.

"Nie Tian!"

"It's Nie Tian!"

"Nie Tian is in the pile of stones!"

Sharp-eyed Nie family members suddenly screamed, their voices filled with disbelief.

At this moment, Nie Donghai and Nie Qian also noticed a small figure standing up among the rubble of the collapsed stone house.

That figure was none other than Nie Tian!

At this moment, Nie Tian, standing up from the pile of rubble, looked bewildered, as if he was also disoriented and did not know what strange thing had happened.

Looking up, he saw the twisted, rippling spatial rifts and instinctively lowered his head, afraid of being touched by the spatial cracks.

"None of you move!" Li Fan shouted, his eyes fixed on Nie Tian, "Nie Tian! Stay where you are, don't move!"

"Okay," Nie Tian nodded repeatedly.

Li Fan took a deep breath, his eyes shining, and suddenly took out a jade token, speaking excitedly to it, "Master! A spatial anomaly has appeared at the Nie family!"

"Stay where you are! Do not move, I am on my way!" A voice full of authority came from the jade token.

The moment the voice sounded, Nie Donghai and Nie Beichuan, among others, were all stunned.

They recognized the speaker as the head of the Lingyun Sect, Jiang Zhisu!

The Nie family was just one of the Lingyun Sect's vassals, and since the Nie family established itself in Black Cloud City, Jiang Zhisu had never visited the Nie family even once.

As the heads of the family, Nie Donghai and Nie Beichuan had only met Jiang Zhisu a few times on Lingyun Mountain.

This time, Jiang Zhisu was actually coming to the Nie family, which shocked all the Nie family members.

"Except for the head of the Nie family, everyone else, leave!" Li Fan paused, then pointed at Nie Donghai, "You stay. All other irrelevant people, move away! And keep this strictly confidential! Not a word about the spatial anomaly at the Nie family!"

"What are you waiting for?! Follow Mr. Li's orders and leave immediately!" Nie Beichuan shouted.

The large number of Nie family members gathered there, though full of doubts, all retreated as ordered.

Even Nie Qian, who was worried about Nie Tian, slowly moved away under Nie Donghai's repeated gestures.

"This is a serious matter. My master will be here soon. We will wait here," Li Fan said solemnly after the Nie family members had dispersed.

"Understood," Nie Donghai and Nie Beichuan were also flustered, nodding repeatedly to show their understanding.

However, just as they were preparing to wait patiently for Jiang Zhisu to arrive, the spatial rifts that had appeared mysteriously began to slowly heal.

"This..." Nie Beichuan was stunned.

In a very short time, all the spatial rifts had disappeared.

The chaotic spatial field gradually returned to normal, and the strange sky phenomena completely vanished.

"How could this be?" Li Fan was at a loss.

But when Nie Donghai saw the spatial rifts disappear, a look of relief appeared on his face.

—Because he knew Nie Tian was safe.

"Spatial anomaly, torn space..."

In the pile of rubble, Nie Tian, with his head lowered, thought to himself, already realizing that all the abnormalities were related to the bone in his hand.

He lowered his head, his eyes shining with a strange light, considering how to explain the situation.

"The bone must not be exposed! The mystery of that place can only be explored by me alone!"

He made up his mind and quickly organized a set of explanations in his mind.
