"Nie Zhang branch? Why are you here in the family? Don't you know that after being expelled from the core, you are not allowed to come unless you are summoned?"
Seeing these two people, Nie Qiang's face darkened.
"Young Master, please don't drive us away. We have something to report to the clan leader..." The two people who came in roared at the same time.
"Hmph, what's there to report for a branch of the family who was kicked out? Come on, kick them out!" Nie Qiang shouted.
"Okay, if you have anything to report, just say it, and the family will definitely make the decision for you!" The elder interrupted Nie Qiang and said.
"Yes, yes, thank you very much, Great Elder!" The visitor kowtowed excitedly as if he had been granted amnesty.
If someone has sharp eyes, they can find that at the moment when this person kowtows, he exchanges a gesture with Nie Qiang, which seems to mean that the matter has been successful.
"I am the third generation descendant of the Nie Zhang branch. My name is Nie Shi He. I maintain a small family business with the Nie Tian branch. We have a good relationship. One day, by luck, people from our branch discovered a thousand-year-old Peng Xin Snow Lotus in Xia Luo Mountain and planned to catch it and hand it over to the clan leader, hoping that the clan leader could break through and reach the Qi Ancestor realm so that our Nie family can become the number one in Luo Shui City..."
Hearing Nie Shi He say that he wanted to capture the thousand-year-old Peng Xin Snow Lotus and give it to the clan leader, all the elders in the hall nodded with satisfaction.
A family that has been expelled from the core still has such awareness, which is not bad...
"It's a pity that the people in our branch are not talented in catching medicines. After several visits, the Peng Xin Snow Lotus escaped. So, we went to find the family's former top medicine collector, Nie Ling! That is now the Nie Tian branch Mistress, Nie Xiao Tian's wife, Nie Yun's mother!"
Nie Shi He said slowly.
"Huh?" Hearing that Nie Shi He also mentioned the Nie Tian branch, Nie Yun, the great elder couldn't help but frown.
"At that time, I had something to do and I couldn't get away. My wife Shen Gui and others went to Xia Luo Mountain with Nie Ling. Who would have thought... Who would have thought that she would never come back again? When I found my wife again, she... …She has been turned into a corpse!"
Nie Shi He burst into tears when he said this.
"What?" Everyone in the hall was stunned when they heard that they turned into corpses when they went to pick up some medicine.
"I couldn't believe it when I saw my wife dead, so I went to Nie Tian's branch to see how Nie Ling was doing, but I found that she was just like a normal person. There was no more Snow Lotus on the mountain!" Nie Shi He continued.
"Are you saying that Nie Ling, your wife, and the others went up the mountain to look for Peng Xin Snow Lotus, but your wife and the others all died, but Nie Ling was fine?" Nie Qiang suddenly interrupted.
"Yes, so I suspect that Nie Ling saw Peng Xin Snow Lotus and was interested in wealth, so she knocked my wife and others off the cliff... Patriarch, Great Elder, you must make the decision for us!"
Nie Shi He burst into tears and cried so miserably.
"Killing a clan member for money is an unforgivable crime. I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly and give your branch an explanation!"
Nie Hao Tian stood up on the throne and waved his hand, "Elder Nie Lang, the people in Nie Tian's branch have perverse temperaments and their behavior is contrary to the ancestral teachings. I will now send you to lead the black shadow guardian team to arrest them. If there is resistance, they will be killed on the spot!"
The Black Shadow Guards are an elite force personally controlled by the head of the Nie family. Each member has the strength of the early stage of the fifth level of the Qi Sea. They are usually dispatched when they encounter major family events, such as the defection of elders and the invasion of demons. Now in order to arrest a Nie Tian branch, the clan leader personally ordered it, which shows that he takes it seriously.
"Clan leader, the matter is not clear yet. These are just their words. It seems a bit serious to send out the shadow guards and kill them on the spot!" After hearing the clan leader making such a decision, the great elder hesitated and said.
"Yes, clan leader! Nie Xiao Tian of Nie Tian's branch once won the honor of Luo Shui Golden Shield for the clan. If we send out the black shadow guardian team so decisively before the matter is clear, it will chill the clan!"
"The Luo Shui Golden Shield is a competition organized by the City Lord's Mansion, with the four major families participating in person. The winner of the Luo Shui Golden Shield not only has supreme honor but also has an identity and status recognized by Luo Shui City. If we send people like this, what will other families think of our Nie family?"
Several elders on the same side as the great elder said at the same time.
"The patriarch did the right thing, so what if he has the Luo Shui Golden Shield? It is their honor to be able to contribute to the family. If they dare to do whatever they want without stopping based on this contribution, who will dare to take our core family seriously in the future?"
"Such family worms should be severely punished. It would be too easy to kill them. If they resist, I think we will just confiscate the property and put all the people in the branch in jail and torture them severely!"
Several elders also shouted wildly after being instructed by Nie Qiang.
"Okay, this matter has been decided. Even if Nie Ling did not kill Shen Gui and the others, Nie Liu should not lie about being so humiliated! Elder Nie Lang will handle this matter for you. Today that's it for the conference!"
Patriarch Nie Hao Tian finally made the final decision, stood up from the throne with a wave of his hand, and walked along the back door of the hall.
As soon as he left, the corners of Nie Qiang's mouth slowly raised, and a hint of a successful conspiracy flashed in his eyes.
Obviously, this series of false accusations was all done by him, with only one purpose, which was to destroy the Nie Tian branch!
Although the Nie Zhang branch and Nie Long branch had cores, they had actually listened to his orders long ago. Otherwise, they would not have designed his sister Nie Xiao Feng first, and then his mother Nie Ling!
"Nie Xiao Tian, you would rather pretend to be crazy than take out that thing. I think this time your family will be ruined. Will you be able to bear it?"
With a low groan, Nie Qiang waved his hand and ignored Nie Hen, Nie Liao, Nie Liu, Nie Shi He, and others who were lying on the ground. He made a "kill" gesture to the elder named Nie Lang and followed closely. Nie Hao Tian walked into the back door behind him.

"My bloodline has evolved into the highest grade of the royal family. Unexpectedly, my body's toughness has also increased. I thought that this Emperor Flame Spirit Stone would allow me, my father, and Nie Tong to practice the second level of the Ling Xi Body Refining Technique to perfection at the same time. I didn't expect that it wasn't enough for even me!"
Looking at the Emperor Flame Spirit Stone that had disappeared from his palm, Nie Yun helplessly opened his eyes.
Absorbing the special energy contained in the Emperor Flame Spirit Stone to practice the Ling Xi Body Refining Technique, Nie Yun originally thought that such a large spirit stone would be enough for his father, Nie Tong, and himself to advance at the same time. Who would have thought that after the evolution of the bloodline, the body's absorption capacity would also increase? After absorbing a whole piece of spirit stone, his second level of Ling Xi Body Refining Technique has only progressed by half, and it seems that there is still a long way to go before reaching great success!
However, even if this is the case, the body's defense power can withstand a full blow from a peak powerhouse at the sixth level of the Qi Sea, and it will not suffer any damage!
"Not only are the Emperor Flame Spirit Stones not enough, but when the Nameless Technique increases the bloodline factor, it also expands the Qi Sea. Even though I have many times more true qi reserves than others, it is still a lot of trouble to reach the peak of the fourth level of the True Qi realm in Qi Sea..."
Thinking of the changes in his body, Nie Yun shook his head.
Originally, after opening up the seven Dantians, Nie Yun's strength was close to the peak of the later stage of the True Qi realm, but it wasn't just a little bit, and after cultivation, he realized how much True Qi was needed to fill it up.
When the Nameless Technique increases the bloodline factor, it also increases the capacity of the sea of qi. In this way, the amount of true qi contained in the sea of qi becomes larger, and promotion becomes more and more difficult!
He originally thought that it would take less than half a month to completely push his cultivation to the peak of the true Qi realm, and achieve the first nirvana of the Nine Turn Nirvana Technique. However, after practicing, he realized that he still underestimated the space after the Qi Sea increased.
Judging from the real situation, there is no way to achieve a breakthrough without three to five months of accumulation!
"Although the Qi Sea cultivation level has not increased much, the seven Dantians are operating at the same time, the bloodline is rising, and the Ling Xi Body Refining Technique has completely stabilized the second level. Even if I meet someone at the sixth level of Gang Realm, perhaps I can still fight!"
Having judged his own strength in his heart, Nie Yun let out a breath.
People with high bloodlines not only practice faster than normal people but also have a much faster reaction speed. Nie Yun now has seven Dantians and a high-grade royal bloodline. In the entire Luo Shui City, except for his father Nie Xiao Tian, he is definitely ranked first. With the convenience of bloodline, coupled with the combat experience in his previous life, it might no longer be difficult to challenge two levels!
Of course, the so-called Gang Realm experts are only limited to the early stage. In the middle stage, when the Gang Qi is released and hurts people, it will be difficult to deal with them!
However, the second level of defense of the Ling Xi Body Refining Technique is invincible, and it is impossible for people in the middle stage of the Gang Realm to harm him!
"Although my strength has improved, if I want to fight these two tiger-headed beasts, there is still no possibility of winning, so I'd better take the medicine!"
With a thought in his heart, Nie Yun swam quietly to the top of the pool. When he looked up through the pool, he saw that the two tiger-headed beasts had already slept, stretched themselves, and planned to drink water again.
