I Have Unlimited Dantians

"What? He sent the message out?"

Nie Yun’s expression changed.

’Though he didn’t know what exactly the Phecda Sword was, he could tell from the importance the Demons and the Luo Family placed on it that it was definitely a treasure. Once word gets out, there will be no end of trouble!’

SWOOSH!

Just as Nie Yun reeled in shock, a gray stream of Qi suddenly shot out of King Ning’s corpse, transforming into a ray of light that streaked straight into the distance!

’Dammit! To spend a lifetime hunting geese only to be pecked in the eye!’

Watching the stream of Qi vanish over the horizon in the blink of an eye, Nie Yun slapped his thigh. ’To think that after a lifetime of fighting Demons, I’d still fall for King Ning’s trick at a critical moment!’

’He deliberately said he’d sent the news about the real Phecda Sword to throw me off balance, giving his soul a chance to break free from his body and escape. How clever!’

’Forget it. By forcibly burning his soul to escape, even if he survives, he won’t be able to spread the news without several months of recuperation. By then, I might have already found his hiding place, or even broken through to the Qi Sect realm!’

Nie Yun knew he didn’t have the strength to catch a soul that was burning itself to escape, so he didn’t even try to give chase.

’Besides, I’m a Tracking Master now. I have a crystal-clear sense of King Ning’s soul aura. Even if he flees a thousand miles away, I can still track him down!’

’Back then, Luo Yu managed to cross thousands of miles to get here based on nothing but a faint aura from the Fish Guts Sword. As a fellow Tracking Master, my skills are no weaker than his. Finding King Ning will be a piece of cake!’

’However, since King Ning has escaped, he must have fled to a safe place, perhaps one guarded by Qi Sect-level Demons. My current strength is still far from enough. I have to get stronger, and fast!’

’The only reason I managed to kill King Ning wasn’t because I was so powerful, but because the Phecda Sword broke and distracted him. I just got lucky. Otherwise, in a straight fight, I would have been the one to die.’

’Hmm? The Phecda Sword?’

After retrieving King Ning’s Demon Core, Nie Yun finally remembered the longsword he had broken with his spear. He reached out and held it in his palm.

’He examined it closely, even attempting to make it recognize him as its master, but... no matter how he looked at it, it seemed to be an ordinary sword with no special qualities.’

’I’ll put it away for now and study it later.’ After having Yangg Yan jump into the water to retrieve the other half, Nie Yun tossed the entire sword into his Dantian.

The capacity of his Storage Dantian expanded as his cultivation grew, and it was now a full seven or eight meters wide. Never mind a few weapons and elixirs—it could easily hold ten times that amount.

"Yun’er, what should we do about him?" Now that everything was settled, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Nie Xiaotian pointed to Feng Xiao, who was lying on the ground, still struggling.

Feng Xiao had been controlled by the Demon Race through some special method. His eyes were bloodshot, and he writhed ceaselessly. It looked as if he would attack them all the moment he broke free.

"That’s easy!"

Nie Yun took a deep breath and walked over. Moving like a shadow, he swiftly struck thirteen acupoints on Feng Xiao’s head.

"Ghost Gate Thirteen Acupoints! Demon Spirit, come out!"

After striking the acupoints, Nie Yun seemed to have expended a great deal of energy, and his face turned pale. With a great roar, he raised his hands and suddenly slammed them into Feng Xiao’s chest!

SCREECH!

The moment his palms landed on Feng Xiao, a sharp, piercing cry echoed out. At the same time, a jet-black wisp of mist erupted from the crown of Feng Xiao’s head.

"Incinerate!"

Thrusting his hand forward in a grabbing motion, Nie Yun shot a crimson flame from his palm, instantly enveloping the wisp of mist.

SCREEEEE!

The mist shrieked as if it were alive, its cries growing fainter and fainter until they vanished completely.

"I... Where am I? Nie Yun? Why is everyone staring at me like that...? I... I was being controlled by the Demon Race... and I did... those things?"

As the shrieking from the mist faded, the crimson in Feng Xiao’s eyes slowly receded, and his gaze cleared.

He could remember everything he had done while under the Demon’s control. At first, Feng Xiao was just confused, but as the memories of his actions in the Luoo Qu Tomb returned, his face went white with horror.

’If Nie Yun hadn’t realized what was happening... because of me, all these people would have died at the hands of the Demons! The entire Luoshui City might have been destroyed!’

"Nie Yun, I..."

Feng Xiao knelt on the ground, his body trembling uncontrollably.

"It’s alright. It’s all in the past. We’re brothers, aren’t we?" Nie Yun said with a faint smile, helping him to his feet.

"Right, we’re brothers! Nie Yun... thank you!"

Tears instantly rolled down Feng Xiao’s cheeks.

’He remembered everything. He knew that if Nie Yun hadn’t rescued him from underground and gone to such great lengths to expel the Demon Spirit, he would have become a mindless puppet of the Demons, even if he didn’t die.’

’Nie Yun, you’re my brother for life. I, Feng Xiao, swear that I will follow your lead for the rest of my days, until the day I die!’ Feng Xiao vowed to himself.

With the events at the Luoo Qu Tomb concluded, they had not only obtained all the treasures but had also killed King Ning and King Tong. It was a complete victory. Soon, the group returned to Luoshui City.

"As Peak Powerhouses of Qi Sect, King Ning and King Tong must have held extremely high status within the Demon Race. With them dead, I doubt the Demons will invade Luoshui City anytime soon."

In the Nie Family’s council hall, Nie Yun shared his thoughts with everyone present.

’In the memories from my past life, the leaders of the Demon invasion of Luoshui City were called something like Yao Ning and Yao Tong. Back then, my cultivation was low and my status was insignificant, so I never met those major figures. Judging by the names, it must have been them!’

’If it really was them, then that means my rebirth has completely thwarted the Demon invasion. At least for a while, the Demons will be without their leaders. There’s no way they’ll be able to cause trouble in Luoshui City!’

"Mm!"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Peak Powerhouses of Qi Sect were extremely valuable to the Demon Race. The death of two at once was sure to cause a major stir. For the time being, Luoshui City would be safe.

"These are the treasures from the Luoo Qu Tomb. City Lord, they were left behind by your ancestor. You should be the one to look after them."

With a wave of his hand, he brought out the treasures obtained from the Luoo Qu Tomb.

Nie Yun had originally entered the Luoo Qu Tomb to find a way to deal with the Demon Race’s invasion. Now that he had successfully thwarted it, the treasures were of no real use to him. ’It’s better to return them to the Luoo Family.’

’This wasn’t him being magnanimous for show. Who had he been in his past life? One of the most powerful figures in the history of humanity! His collection of treasures probably rivaled that of the entire Divine Wind Empire!’

’Although he no longer possessed such wealth, his discerning eye remained. How could he possibly be interested in the legacy of a mere Ultimate Venerable Powerhouse?’

’It was like a billionaire who, despite having fallen on hard times and lost his fortune, still had his pride. How could he stoop to embezzling a few hundred dollars, only to become a laughingstock!’
