【Chapter 174】Visiting the Qi Family

Although Nangong Chenyu's outfit was the same as before, the aura he exuded from inside out was completely different from before. His eyes became even deeper, and there seemed to be a mysterious power in them, as if it could see through all illusions.

His aura also changed slightly.

All of this is related to him unlocking the seal in his body and thus awakening.

With a thought, the water mirror in front of him shattered and disappeared.

His sight turned and five skeletons came into his sight. He raised his hand and sucked, and the space rings on the five skeletons flew into his hands one after another.

One, two, three...a total of eleven space rings.

Five of the space rings were empty. It seemed that the five ancestors of the Qi family were planning to take the things from the treasure house of the second ancestor Ye.

The divine flame of thunder flew out from Nangong Chenyu's dantian and stayed on the five skeletons for a minute, then the five skeletons turned into ashes.

At this time, Nangong Chenyu was enveloped by the light of teleportation.

As soon as he was teleported out, the cylindrical platform suddenly exploded into pieces with a "bang" sound. Immediately afterwards, the stone chamber began to shake violently.

After a while, the stone chamber was filled with mud.

At the same time, the entire Qi Yu City began to shake, with a force like a magnitude 4 earthquake.

Everyone thought that some monks were fighting in the city without following the rules, and many people looked around to see who the two parties were fighting.

The ancestors of each family noticed the abnormality at the first moment and rose into the air one after another. Then they saw that most of the Qi family's martial arts field suddenly sank, reaching a depth of ten meters.

Everyone: “…” What’s going on?

The head of the Qi family and a group of Qi family members stood at the edge of the martial arts field that had not sunken to check.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, one figure after another flew to the edge of the Qi family martial arts arena. They ignored the Qi family and released their spiritual sense to investigate deeply underground.

The result was naturally nothing was found.

"Master Qi, what treasure did your Qi family find underground? They actually dug out such a large piece!"

The person who spoke was the head of the Yu family.

He was not the only one who thought this way, but few dared to say it in front of the head of the Qi family.

Several ancestors of the Qi family knew that there was a treasure under the ground of Qi Yucheng, but they did not tell the head of the Qi family.

Facing the curious and inquiring eyes of the crowd, the head of the Qi family did not want the Qi family to become the target of public criticism, so he said: "If my Qi family really found something underground, we will definitely prepare defenses to prevent you from seeing this scene."

Many people nodded in agreement.

"Master Qi is right."

"The vibration just now broke the defense formations of many mansions. If the Qi family really found something underground, they would definitely strengthen the defense formations."

Someone immediately expressed a different opinion: "Perhaps the Qi family did not expect the martial arts arena to suddenly collapse."

"Don't mention it, it's not impossible."

"It seems that the Qi family really found a treasure underground."

Many people's eyes were filled with greed.

The Qi family used to run rampant in Qiyu City. One elder couldn't stand this and shouted to everyone, "Whether there is a treasure under the Qi family's martial arts arena is none of your business."

These words were automatically translated into everyone's ears, saying that there was a treasure under the Qi family's martial arts arena.

The head of the Qi family glared at the elder who was speaking and told him not to speak if he couldn't.

If it were in the past, their Qi family was not afraid of any family in Qi Yucheng and had the confidence to do whatever they wanted.

Because in the past the Qi family only had one ancestor in the Void Refinement Stage, but in fact there were five. But two years ago, all five ancestors of the Qi family who were in the Nascent Soul stage died at once.

Today's Qi family is not as good as the Ye family.

If other families knew that the Qi family had no one in the Nascent Soul stage, there would definitely be no place for their Qi family in Qi Yucheng.

Money can make people excited. If the Qi family doesn't let everyone see the situation underground with their own eyes, they may not have a peaceful life in the future.

Instead of waiting for everyone to secretly investigate Qi's mansion, it would be better to let everyone check it out generously.

The most important thing is that no matter what the Qi family says now, no one will believe that they don’t know what’s happening underground.

"My Qi family is not hiding anything, so please join me in exploring. If there is really something underneath, there will definitely be clues left behind."

No one expected that the usually strong head of the Qi family would compromise, and they all looked at the heads of the other three families.

The current head of the Ye family is Ye Mingpei, who just broke through to the Nascent Soul stage not long ago. His main idea is to follow the crowd, not to express his opinions proactively, and not to offend anyone.

The head of the Yu family did not speak either.

Patriarch Lu couldn't wait to say, "Since Patriarch Qi sincerely invited us, we can't refuse you."

He turned to a middle-aged male cultivator from the Lu family and instructed: "Third Elder, go back to the family and pick a few people to come and investigate with us."

"Yes, Patriarch."

The rest of the smaller families that were not as powerful as the four great families took out their jade slips to summon their family members here.

When Nangong Chenyu walked into Qi Yu City, he found that all the cultivators in the city were heading in one direction. He stood in front of a male cultivator who was in the late foundation building stage.

"Where are you all going?"

The man was about to push Nangong Chenyu away, but when he looked up, he saw a face that was exactly the same as the one he remembered. The impatient expression on his face immediately turned into flattery.

"I heard that there is a treasure under the Qi family's martial arts arena, so everyone rushed over to take a look."

Hearing this, Nangong Chenyu also followed him towards the Qi family's martial arts training ground. It just so happened that he had something to ask the Qi family.

The Qi family martial arts arena was surrounded by three layers of cultivators, and it was so crowded that those with low cultivation levels couldn't even squeeze in.

As soon as Nangong Chenyu arrived, many people recognized him. These people immediately made way for him, and the others who didn't know him did the same subconsciously.

When the heads of various families saw him, their expressions were different.

Because of his identity, if there really were any treasures under the Qi family martial arts arena, he would definitely have to share a share, which most people would not want to accept.

Nangong Chenyu had no idea what everyone was thinking. He only took a look at the collapsed area and guessed the cause of the collapse. He didn't say anything about everyone's preparation to go down and check.

After greeting the head of the Yu family and Ye Mingpei who greeted him, he walked straight to the head of the Qi family.

His approach made the head of the Qi family subconsciously take a step back.

He couldn't help but chuckle.

The head of the Qi family was angry, but with so many people watching around him, he couldn't do anything to Nangong Chenyu and could only give a hypocritical smile.

"Friend Nangong, long time no see."

"Yes, it's been a long time since we last met. Patriarch Qi seems to be much more haggard."

How can I not feel haggard?

The family suddenly lost its master in the Nascent Soul stage, and its treasure house was stolen. As the head of the Qi family, he lived in fear every day, worrying about one thing after another.

The head of the Qi family was naturally not stupid enough to say these things out loud. He just found an excuse to deal with it: "I encountered a bottleneck in my cultivation and couldn't find a breakthrough opportunity for many years. I was depressed and naturally became haggard."

After saying that, he sighed heavily.

These words resonated with many people.

Nangong Chenyu took advantage of this time to release his spiritual sense and investigate the situation in the Qi Mansion.

His spiritual consciousness has now recovered to the peak of the Void Refining Stage, his body refining has entered the third stage, and his cultivation has reached the Half-Step Nascent Soul Stage.

Using only sword skills, he can kill Nascent Soul cultivators. Using physical skills, he can fight against monks in the God Transformation Stage. Using his spiritual sense, he can hurt cultivators in the Void Refinement Stage.

No one present noticed that he released his spiritual sense.

At the signal from Patriarch Lu, the third elder of the Lu family not far away looked at Nangong Chenyu and tried to ask, "Friend Nangong, do you want to go underground with us?"

Glancing at the person who was speaking, Nangong Chenyu spat out three words: "Not interested."

Then, he looked at Patriarch Qi again: "Patriarch Qi, may I have a word with you?"

"Of course." The head of the Qi family bowed to everyone and said, "Qi has something else to do. Please go ahead."

The head of the Qi family took Nangong Chenyu towards the Qi family lobby.

However, when he reached the lobby, Nangong Chenyu did not stop. As he walked forward, he said, "The Qi Mansion has beautiful scenery. Master Qi, do you mind if I take a stroll?"

He didn't consider himself an outsider at all. He walked past the head of the Qi family and went straight forward.

The head of the Qi family's face turned black.

Suppressing the anger in his heart, the head of the Qi family tried to speak in a calm tone: "I wonder if Young Master Nangong has anything to say to me."

Pausing, Nangong Chenyu turned around and stared at the head of the Qi family intently: "Why is your Qi family targeting Ye Xian?"

The head of the Qi family pretended to be confused: "Who is Ye Xian?"

He felt a little uneasy in his heart, but after seeing Nangong Chenyu's cultivation level, he put that uneasiness behind him.

“Hehe~” Nangong Chenyu smiled and continued walking forward.

Half a minute later, the head of the Qi family took two quick steps and stood in front of Nangong Chenyu: "Friend Nangong, the area ahead is a forbidden area of ​​our Qi family. Only members of the Qi family are allowed to enter."

Nangong Chenyu raised his eyebrows: "What if I must go in?"

Patriarch Qi suppressed the urge to slap Nangong Chenyu to death: "The disciples of Yunjue Palace act uprightly. I believe that young friend Nangong will not do anything to trespass into other people's forbidden areas."

"You think too highly of me. I do what I want. My status as a disciple of Yunjue Palace gives me support, but I will not be bound by this status."

After saying that, Nangong Chenyu stretched out his hand and pushed the head of the Qi family aside, then walked into the Qi family's forbidden area.

Seeing him pass through the formation barrier without any hindrance, the face of the head of the Qi family immediately darkened.

“Stop.” Patriarch Qi released the pressure of the Nascent Soul Stage while saying, “Nangong Chenyu, I’m giving you some face because you are a disciple of Yunjue Palace. Don’t refuse my toast and drink the forfeit!”

With a flash, Nangong Chenyu arrived beside the head of the Qi family. Before he could react, Nangong Chenyu grabbed his neck.

"Why do you think I dare to come to the Qi family?"

The head of the Qi family was extremely shocked. He never thought that he, a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, would not have the slightest power to resist when he fell into Nangong Chenyu's hands.

His face turned red, and he squeezed out three words: "Let me go!"

Nangong Chenyu dragged him forward.

Entering a cultivation cave and walking to a stone chamber, Nangong Chenyu let go of Patriarch Qi and said, "Open the door."

"Ahem~" Patriarch Qi coughed twice and asked, "What exactly do you want to do?"

…
