C212 Family Secret

"Master, are we really going back?" Soong Dong'er was a little unresigned. Even if Duan Rong had a plan in mind, wouldn't there be an accident?

It was a pity that Duan Rong was sure that nothing unexpected would happen to the Nie Clan.

In order to hide the fact that Nie Zhen was still alive, Duan Rong did not tell the disciples the reason. He only said to them, "No matter, I have already made some arrangements. You don't need to ask. Just follow me back."

Then, Duan Rong said to Lee Feng and the rest, "This Sect Master will greet them, but you don't need to go back for now. Prince Nie has something to discuss with you. This old man won't bring you back."

"Second Sect Master is too polite. He spoke up for us and told the sect not to punish us. The disciples are already grateful and did not dare to ask for more." Lee Feng and the others answered.

Actually, even if Duan Rong asked Lee Feng and the others to follow him back to the sect, Lee Feng and the others probably wouldn't choose to go back.

Even though they knew in their hearts that since Duan Rong dared to go back without worry, he must have a complete plan, so there definitely wouldn't be any problems with the Nie Clan.

However, Lee Feng and the others didn't feel at ease until they saw Shen Ping and Dong Fei return in defeat.

As for Yu Zhenzi and Jue Mingzi, they were not disciples of Duobao Sect in the first place. The only reason that they appeared in Duobao Sect was because Nie Zhen was their disciple, Young Lord. Since Nie Zhen did not have any news about them, there was no meaning for them to stay in Duobao Sect.

"Eh …. "Master, why don't we wait until Uncle Nie arrives, and then say our goodbyes to him …" Yin Nian still wanted to bid farewell to Nie Zhuang, but in the next moment, the three disciples of Duan Rong simultaneously felt a gentle force pulling them forward, and all three disciples were pushed out by Nie Zhuang in an instant. At the same time, Liu Tie's voice sounded beside their ears, "No need, master has already greeted Prince Nie, you should follow me back to Duobao Sect Mountain Gate."

Duan Rong came and went in a hurry, causing Yu Zhenzi and the others to be unable to react. They turned into a gust of wind and left, then they looked at each other, not knowing what had happened.

Why did this Second Sect Master suddenly leave in such a hurry? Moreover, from the looks of it, the Second Sect Master was no longer as fiendish and vicious as before. Instead, his mood had become a lot calmer than before. It was truly puzzling.

But Duan Rong's departure did not make Yu Zhenzi and the others too worried. Now that the Nie Family had received the news, they were fully prepared, and just now, they received an important piece of news. Nie Family's butler, Zhuang Zhou, had already returned.

With the help of Nie Zhen, Zhuang Zhou was now at the second level of the Sky Realm. There were three second level Sky Realm masters present here, not to mention that Yu Zhenzi and Jue Mingzi were confident that they could stop Dong Fei with just the two of them, plus Liu Tie, there was no need to worry too much.

It was at this time that Nie Zhen, under Nie Zhuang's lead, arrived at the Nie Family Ancestor's ancestral hall …

"Sigh... Xiao Zhen, your master is really too fearsome... " Nie Zhuang shook his head towards Nie Zhen and sighed.

Nie Zhen smiled and said: "Master is an expert with Three Holy Stage, in the entire Duo Treasure Empire, there are only five people, and Master's cultivation is probably only slightly stronger than Duobao Sect Great Sect Master."

"Ah, Expert of the Three Holy Stage …" Nie Zhuang's eyes revealed a hint of longing.

Suddenly, Nie Zhuang's eyes flashed with a strange light, he looked at Nie Zhen and said seriously, "Little Zhen, father has never told you before, according to the clan tradition of my Nie Family, I will have to wait until the end of my century before I can tell you, and in order to prevent any accidents, I will write this as a secret letter and hand it to Nie Geng. If something happens to father, he will pass this letter to you, but today, father has decided to inform you of this matter in advance."

"Hmm?" Nie Zhen's expression changed. Looking at his father's serious expression, this was no small matter. He quickly said, "Sure. Father, speak slowly."

Nie Zhuang glanced at the ancestral tablet of Nie Family, then slowly said to Nie Zhen: "The next thing I want to say is what my father told me before his death. Of course, he was told to him by his father before his death, for every generation, only the successor of the clan leader is qualified to know, but even though we have passed on our inheritance, we are only responsible for it, and do not have the qualifications to participate in it. Do you know why?"

"Why?" Nie Zhen expressed his confusion.

"Because this matter is extremely shocking. For the past few hundred years, although our Nie Family is also only that of a Wealthy Class, we had originally lived through the rise and fall of many, but in one night, all the males had disappeared. Do you know where they went?"

"Where did they go?" He had never heard of the specific reason before, but of course, he did not investigate it too deeply. He only thought that he met a strong enemy or a rare plague or something like that, but hearing what his father said, he was afraid that there might be another secret behind it.

"They went to a place that neither you nor I could imagine, and at that time, only because it just so happened that your Great Ancestor wasn't in the family, did he disappear, and then, my Nie Clan was passed on to a sole heir, and when he reached father's generation, your grandfather had three sons, and other than me, your other two uncles all died in the arena of the aristocracy's assessment.

"According to your High Ancestor, those clansmen who disappeared all went to the Origin of Nie Clan Ancestral Land and the Department's headquarters. However, we do not know where this headquarters is located at all."

"The origin of the Nie Clan?" Nie Zhen was a bit surprised, he never thought that his family was actually a branch family of Nie Family. However, Nie Zhen was confused again: "Since you don't even know where they are, then how did those ancestors go?"

Nie Zhuang let out a long sigh and said, "According to the ladies who haven't disappeared, it seems like a mysterious expert brought them all away. It is said that the Nie Family Headquarters encountered a crisis that was hard to come by, so the Nie Family Headquarters recruited all of the Branch Faction disciples to assist them."

"So hasty?! In a place like the Yutang Country, how strong can our bloodline be?! Just a mysterious expert is enough to take away almost all the males, so even if our clansmen were to go, how big of a help would that be? " Nie Zhen suddenly felt that this matter was very strange and unreliable.

Nie Zhuang said without a doubt, "Maybe the crisis at the headquarters was too serious, so we had to gather all the branches' bloodlines."

Nie Zhen rubbed his temples and sighed to Nie Zhuang, "Father, these are all old history. We don't need to care about these. Let's move forward."0

However, Nie Zhuang shook his head and said: "Not only that, this matter is the most confidential of all, and is not related to the disappearance of our ancestors, but rather the disappearance of our ancestors. According to legend, the ancestors of our bloodline came here, and once established an ancestral teachings, and in this ancestral hall of Nie Family, the map to the headquarters and identity plates were concealed, as well as the reason why the first generation of our ancestors came to this Yutang Country."

"Oh? Then wouldn't the ancestors have gone to search for the map and identity token? After experiencing so many generations of inheritances, wouldn't the successors have no sense of identity with the headquarters anymore? "

"Heh heh... Find the map? " Nie Zhuang laughed self-deprecatingly and said: "Other than the first generation ancestors of Nie Family, none of the successors in the future have reached this qualification."

"You actually still need the qualifications?" Nie Zhen found it funny.

Nie Zhuang nodded seriously: "That's right, our Nie Family Ancestor has said that we need to at least enter the ninth level of the Heaven Realm before we are qualified to find the map and identity plate to head to the headquarters for further study."

Ninth level of the sky realm?

Nie Zhen was surprised, he had already cultivated to the ninth level of the Sky Realm, who would still need to go to the Nie Family Headquarters to study?

"Little Zhen, this is what Nie Family has always said, I believe that it would not be said for no reason. I believe that what my ancestor said, there must have been some deep meaning behind it, I didn't even dare to imagine that I could reach the Heavenly Realm. If it wasn't for you having already entered the Heavenly Realm, I might have kept this a secret until my death, and let you pass it on to the next generation."

Nie Zhen shook his head and sighed, "Father, I feel that there's something weird about this. Why would the first generation ancestor come here? If the headquarters is really that good, then why would he come to this kind of damn place …"

Nie Zhuang patted Nie Zhen's shoulder heavily and sighed, "Father naturally won't know about this problem. Perhaps one day, when Little Zhen reaches the ninth level of the Sky Realm, he will know about it..."

Wu Tie nodded his head and promised Nie Zhuang: "Father, if I can reach the ninth level of the Heaven Realm, I will definitely find the map that leads to Nie Family Headquarters. However, whether or not we want to go to Nie Family Headquarters, I cannot be certain right now, after all, for me, Guiyan City is our homeland."

Nie Zhuang naturally understood Nie Zhen's feelings, and he also thought the same way. Exactly what the Nie Family Headquarters was like, they did not have any concept of it, but for this Guiyan City, Nie Zhuang and Nie Zhen had always carried a sense of belonging, and this was where Nie Zhuang and Nie Zhen truly came from.

"Little Zhen, since our ancestor has scolded us like this, father's duty is to tell you about this matter. As for your choice, naturally it's up to you, father will not interfere, but my Yutang Country has encountered a crisis, and the Nie Family Headquarters has not come to support us. As for the crisis at the headquarters, we do not have to join in."
