"Changming is dead? Wasn't Elder Snake by his side?!"
In a villa in Nanling City, an old man with a gloomy expression asked his subordinates.
This old man is Nian Zangfeng from the Nian family, the number one family in Nanling City!
The Nanlingnian family's ancestors also came from the Nian family in the northern border region.
After years of development, the Nian family of Nanling City should be the most successful among the many branch families.
Over the years, while Nian Zangfeng has been developing his strength, he has also been searching for the key that his family passed down from back then, and which branch of the family took it away.
To this end, he absorbed more than thirty branches of the family business.
Unfortunately, the key was still nowhere to be found.
Heaven rewards those who persevere; through his efforts, he finally received the news.
The family key is most likely in the hands of the Nian family in Anzhou at the beginning of the year.
Unfortunately, that guy has been missing for many years.
Moreover, it seems that their family members are completely unaware of the family key.
Under such circumstances, he had his family's men remain hidden in Anzhou, with the aim of waiting for him to appear at the beginning of the year.
This morning, Changming, one of my underlings who had been lurking in Anzhou, sent me a message saying that he had found the whereabouts of the key from earlier this year and that we would soon have it.
This greatly surprised Nian Zangfeng. Once he found the key, he was certain that he would be able to restore the glory of the Nian family in the past, no, even surpass it!
The problem is, his subordinates just reported that Changming is dead, which has enraged him.
It should be noted that Changming himself was a Grandmaster, and besides him, the Grandmaster Snake Elder was also by his side.
"Reporting to the patriarch, Elder Snake is also dead..."
"Looks like that guy has been working hard to improve himself after disappearing for a few years!"
Upon hearing his subordinate's words, Nian Zangfeng gritted his teeth and said.
I thought this was a very simple matter, but now it seems that I underestimated that guy!
"Summon Elder Huo, Elder Mu, Elder Zhen, and all the other elders to Anzhou. We must reclaim the family's legacy!"
After thinking for a moment, Nian Zangfeng gave instructions to his subordinates.
If nothing unexpected happens, the news that the family heir was in their hands at the beginning of the year will surely be known to the other major families very soon.
By then, it won't be so easy to get it again!
If it weren't for the upcoming Ancient Martial Arts Tournament, which I simply couldn't spare the time for, I would definitely have gone myself.
However, with three elders personally going this time, there shouldn't be any problems.
"Yes, Master!"
After hearing what the patriarch said, the subordinate nodded and then turned and left.
After his men left, Nian Zangfeng walked to the window, looked at the rolling dark clouds outside, and said calmly.
"Judging by the time, the alignment of the nine stars is about to begin!"
"The secrets belonging to my Nian family will also be revealed!"
After so many years, the alignment of the nine stars is finally about to begin.
Once you get the key, you'll unlock an extraordinary world that belongs to the Nian family!
"Here are three talismans for you."
"When faced with an insurmountable danger, throw out a card."
"If anyone wants the Exquisite Square Pagoda, just tell them to come to me, okay, honey!?"
The next day, Yang Lu, who was about to go to Huicheng, handed three talismans to Nian Xixi.
In fact, Nian Xixi really wanted to go to Huicheng with Yang Lu, but because her father had just returned and she had a lot to say to him, she gave up the idea.
"Okay, I understand, honey. Be careful in everything you do."
Nian Xixi nodded, then put the three talismans into her pocket.
Then, as if remembering something, she said to Yang Lu.
"When you come back this time, let's go to Kyoto together! Let's go see Siyu and the others!"
From Yang Lu's words, Nian Xixi learned roughly what had happened during his last trip to Kyoto.
What's even more remarkable is that he also found his younger sister, whom he had lived with in an orphanage when he was a child.
Yang Lu naturally had no objections, after all, Si Yu had said that she wanted to meet her sister-in-law!
Although she is not my biological sister, she is better than a biological sister to me!
"Great, that's perfect, they're really eager to meet you, their sister-in-law!"
"Alright, you should get going!"
Upon hearing the words "sister-in-law," Nian Xixi's cheeks inexplicably flushed red.
She didn't know why she was like this; maybe she was nervous about meeting her future sister-in-law?
Immediately afterwards, Nian Xixi urged Yang Lu to leave, but at that moment, something unexpected happened.
"Bang!"
Just as Yang Lu was about to leave, the security guard outside was thrown in forcefully, and then a domineering middle-aged man swaggered in.
Upon seeing this, Yang Lu frowned deeply. Could it be that the Cheng family members had arrived again? Weren't they moving a little too fast?
"Who are you!? What are you doing here next year!?"
Upon seeing the newcomer, Nian Xixi angrily glared at the middle-aged man and asked him a question.
To Nian Xixi's dismay, the man completely ignored her and instead focused his attention on Yang Lu, asking a question.
"You're Yang Lu!?"
"Who are you!?"
"By order of my young master, I have delivered something to you!"
After receiving a positive reply from Yang Lu, the middle-aged man took out a letter from his pocket, flicked his wrist, and threw it at Yang Lu.
He used hidden force in this move; if this kid isn't careful, he might be in trouble!
