Chapter 101 - 92: Blood Dragon Armor
"Damn it! Damn it!" A furious roar, like a screeching ape, erupted from a speeding carriage outside Luoshui City. Inside sat Luo Yu and Luo Cheng, who had just left the Nie Family estate.
"Are we just going to swallow this?" Luo Cheng’s expression was grim.
Although his abilities as a Healer had tended to their injuries, the humiliation in their hearts was impossible to erase.
"Swallow it? It won’t be that easy! But that Nie Yun’s master is an Ultimate Venerable Powerhouse—someone we absolutely can’t afford to offend. We’ll return to the clan first and wait for the perfect opportunity. Then we’ll teach that Nie Yun a harsh lesson, and we’ll do it so he never knows it was us!"
Luo Yu snorted coldly.
"Yes, that’s our only option. Otherwise, if the Ancestor finds out we offended an Ultimate Venerable Powerhouse, we’ll be in huge trouble!"
Luo Cheng seethed with resentment, but he knew that for now, all they could do was endure.
"By the way, what do you think? Should we spread the news that Uncle Luo Yan died here? He originally came to this place searching for the secret of the Seven Swords. Since he was killed here, it must be related to them!" Luo Cheng asked after a moment, a sudden thought occurring to him.
"That’s a good point. If we spread this news, experts from all over the Divine Wind Empire will flock here. At that point, even if Nie Yun’s master is an Ultimate Venerable Powerhouse, no one would dare object if someone killed him..."
Luo Yu’s eyes lit up.
The two of them had been repeatedly humiliated, but they didn’t hate the Ultimate Venerable Powerhouse; instead, they directed all their fury at Nie Yun.
"Still, that’s not a good idea. If this news gets out, everyone will come here, which would diminish our clan’s potential gains. I think it’s better to report this to the Ancestor and let him make the final decision. As long as we can get into his good graces, taking revenge on that brat will be a simple matter!"
After a moment of thought, Luo Yu decided against spreading the news.
"Alright then, let’s hurry back!"
With their decision made, the two said no more and urged the carriage to race toward Divine Wind City.
「...」
"You’re saying the Luoo Qu Tomb is a treasure trove left by the City Lord’s ancestor? And Luoqing City’s blood can open the Stone Gate?"
In the Nie Family’s secret chamber, Nie Xiaotian’s eyes lit up as he heard his son’s explanation.
"Yes. I wanted to discuss with you when we should go. If we delay, I fear the Demon Race People will seize the first move, and our Luoshui City might face annihilation!"
Nie Yun explained his thoughts.
"Exactly. Although I don’t know what’s inside the Luoo Qu Tomb, it must hold some astonishing secret. If the Demon Race People get their hands on it, we’re finished!"
Having witnessed the power of the Demon on Nie Haotian that day, Nie Xiaotian’s expression turned grim.
If it was just as his son said, that Demons could attack Luoshui City at any time, then getting into the Luoo Qu Tomb first seemed imperative.
"You, me, the City Lord, and Luoqing City—the four of us will go together. That way, we’ll cause less of a stir, our combined strength will be considerable, and we can watch each other’s backs," Nie Yun said.
"Yes, we certainly can’t take too many people. Otherwise, it would be too easy for word to leak out."
Nie Xiaotian nodded in deep agreement and continued, "I think we need to make some preparations before we go. It would be great if we could borrow that Blood Dragon Armor from the Yangg Family!"
"Blood Dragon Armor?" Nie Yun was taken aback.
Nie Yun had heard of the Blood Dragon Armor in his past life. It was the most powerful piece of Armor in the Yangg Family, supposedly crafted from the scales of a blood dragon, providing an invincible Defense. Rumor had it that not even a full-powered strike from a Qi Sect Powerhouse could breach it!
Of course, this was just a legend. It was debatable whether blood dragons even existed, let alone an invincible suit of Battle Armor. If such a thing truly existed, the Yangg Family would never have remained subordinate to the City Lord’s Mansion, nor would they have kept such a low profile among the Four Great Families.
It was because he knew this that Nie Yun asked, full of doubt, "Does that thing really exist?"
"Yes, it exists. I’ve seen it with my own eyes. It’s not made from blood dragon scales, though. It’s made from the scales of a Qi Sect-level Dragon Pattern Beast. Its Defense is extremely powerful; at least, someone at my level of strength can’t break it."
Nie Xiaotian nodded.
"So it’s a Dragon Pattern Beast..."
Nie Yun knew of Dragon Pattern Beasts. They were Qi Sect-level Demon Beasts with extremely strong defense. Even a Royal Family’s Low Grade weapon might not be able to pierce their scales!
Such Demon Beasts were incredibly rare, making Battle Armor crafted from their scales priceless. Even a great family like the Luo Family might not possess a single suit. To think the Yangg Family actually had one!
"Although its Defense is strong, it’s not of much use to us. The key is Luoqing City. She’s only at the Early-Stage Body Emergence Realm right now. If she enters the Luoo Qu Tomb without any protection, it will likely be extremely dangerous for her!"
Nie Xiaotian said.
"Mm, I understand. I’ll go ask Yangg Yan and see if we can borrow it."
Nie Yun nodded.
’Father is so thorough. I was also thinking about how to protect Luoqing City, but I didn’t consider this deeply. The Early-Stage Body Emergence Realm might seem decent to others, but it’s nowhere near enough for the Luoo Qu Tomb!’
’Who knows what kind of traps might be in there? It’s something set up by an Ultimate Venerable Peak Powerhouse. Even I might not be able to escape unscathed, let alone her!’
"Oh, right, Father, this is a set of Royal Family’s Top-Grade Martial Arts. It’s perfect for your current Cultivation. My master already simplified it. See if you can master it in a short time. If you can, our chances will be much better!"
When he had forced Luo Yu and Luo Cheng to transcribe the martial arts, Nie Yun had also used a Record Crystal Stone to copy a few sets for himself. This particular one was called the [Ultimate Venerable Great Compassion Hand]. It was an excellent technique that combined both offense and defense. As long as his father could master it, he would be able to protect himself even against a Mid-Stage Qi Sect powerhouse!
’Nie Yun had a gut feeling that this trip to the Luoo Qu Tomb would be anything but simple. He couldn’t say exactly what the danger was, but the feeling was strong. His father was the most important person in his life, and he couldn’t bear the thought of anything happening to him.’
"A Royal Family’s Top-Grade Martial Art?"
Nie Xiaotian hurriedly took the jade tablet and swept his Spirit through it. In a short while, he had finished absorbing its contents. He froze on the spot and immediately began to cultivate.
Seeing his father engrossed in his Cultivation, Nie Yun smiled faintly and left the room. With a leap, he flew toward the Yangg Family estate where Yangg Yan was.
Yangg Yan’s Chi Xiao Divine Axe Martial Art, combined with the Fiery Flame Axe, made him incredibly powerful. After Yangg Tiecheng’s death, he had managed to completely consolidate control over the clan in less than a day and had become the new Clan Leader.
Arriving at the Yangg Family estate, Nie Yun made some inquiries and learned that Yangg Yan was in the Council Hall discussing matters with the Elders. He had someone announce his arrival, and a moment later, he saw Yangg Yan striding over.
At this moment, Yangg Yan’s aura was surging, and the True Qi throughout his body seemed ready to burst forth. He had actually reached the Peak of Body Emergence Realm!
"Heh heh, Feng Xiao came to see me last night. He gave me something he called a Demon Core and told me to absorb the Spiritual Qi inside. That’s how I managed to progress so quickly. Otherwise, there’s no way I could have reached the Peak of Body Emergence Realm so fast!"
Noticing Nie Yun’s confusion, Yangg Yan chuckled.
