I Have Unlimited Dantians

Chapter 335: Chapter 312: The Story of the Capture

"City Lord Luoo was captured first, and then our Nie Family was ambushed and abducted by a group of Demons. I originally thought they did it out of hatred for the Human Race, but then I realized that wasn’t the case at all. They wanted what we got from the Luoo Qu Tomb!" Nie Tong explained slowly, not directly answering his brother’s question.

"After we were captured, they put us on a Flying Demon Beast. We left Luoshui City that very day and went to the Divine Wind Empire. We stayed at the Mi Tian Sect for a few days, and right after that, we were sent to the Divine Holy Empire..."

Nie Tong slowly recounted the events of their capture.

"I left you those Communication Jade Tokens. Why didn’t you send me a message?" Nie Yun asked again.

"We were caught off guard. They immediately crushed our Communication Jade Tokens and other belongings, so we had no time to react. They also used a special Secret Technique to remove the Tracking Qi you left on us. Even Xiaohu couldn’t use Sound Transmission to contact you..."

Nie Tong shook his head.

’So that’s what happened!’

’Although Tracking Qi is a special talent, some powerful experts still have ways to completely block its unique senses. The fact that I’m a Tracking Master isn’t exactly a secret, so they must have investigated thoroughly before they moved to capture my parents and the others.’

’Preventing a Demon Pet from contacting its master is even simpler. The connection is affected by distance; if they’re too far apart, it naturally breaks. Besides, if they could block my Tracking Qi, stopping Xiaohu from messaging me would have been easy. The simplest way would be to just knock him unconscious and take him somewhere out of range!’

’Wait a minute. If they have a way to block Tracking Qi, why didn’t they block the Qi I placed on Tuxin?’

A sudden doubt surfaced in Nie Yun’s mind.

It was the Tracking Qi I had placed on Tuxin that led me here. If they could block the Qi on my parents and the others, why not on their own man?

’I see... They were probably using Tuxin as bait to lure me here. But they were always afraid of my master, so they never dared to make a move...’

Realization dawned on Nie Yun.

’The ones who captured my parents probably knew all along that I had used Tracking Qi. But they were wary of my non-existent master and didn’t dare to act!’

’Thank goodness for this non-existent master. Otherwise, I would’ve been dead long ago!’

"How did you all escape after you were captured? And why didn’t you contact me?" Now that he understood what was going on, Nie Yun asked.

’They went to so much trouble to capture them; there’s no way they’d let them escape so easily. Is this part of another plot?’

"As for why we didn’t contact you, well..." Nie Tong’s face flushed.

"He thought you weren’t strong enough. He was afraid that if we notified you, you’d rush over recklessly and get into trouble. So he decided to handle it all himself rather than let me tell you..." Xiaohu chimed in from the side.

"He’d rather handle it all himself..." Nie Yun was deeply moved.

’That was just the kind of person his brother was. To protect his good-for-nothing older brother, he’d secretly practice his Swordsmanship until he was black and blue, never letting me know. He’d rather take one hundred and forty-seven sword wounds than let me get hurt...’

’My brother... I’m the one who owes you!’

’In my past life and in this one!’

"After we were captured, we were imprisoned in the Divine Holy Empire..." Noticing his brother’s eyes were getting red, Nie Tong felt a bit embarrassed and quickly changed the subject. "Then one day, I had a sudden breakthrough. I was able to kill all the guards at once and help everyone escape!"

"You had a breakthrough while you were imprisoned?" Nie Yun was taken aback.

’While they were prisoners, their captors would have only tormented them. They definitely wouldn’t have provided any resources for Cultivation. How could he have had a breakthrough?’

’Besides, my brother wasn’t even at the Body Emergence Realm before. How big of a breakthrough would he have needed to kill the guards and escape?’

"Well..." Seemingly sensing his brother’s confusion, Nie Tong fidgeted with the hem of his clothes, unable to find the words for a long moment.

"What exactly happened? Tell me everything!" Seeing him act this way made Nie Yun even more puzzled, and he couldn’t stop himself from asking anxiously.

"I should be the one to explain! Young Master, please take off your mask. Take off your robes and let the Master see!"

Seeing that Nie Tong didn’t know how to begin, a hint of sorrow appeared in Xiaohu’s enormous eyes as he spoke again.

Nie Yun had been so excited to see Nie Tong safe and sound that he had completely forgotten to ask him to take off his mask.

"Hnngh..." Nie Tong hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded and slowly reached up to remove the mask.

"Xiaotong, your face... your face... your face..."

When he saw the face Nie Tong revealed from under the mask, Nie Yun felt his heart instantly tear in two. He could no longer control his tears, and they streamed down his face.

PS: A lot of mysteries have been revealed now, haven’t they? Some people were calling it a plot hole before, but I never explained. The truth is, I wrote it this way to flesh out Nie Tong’s character.

Nie Tong is a very serious and persistent person. He would do anything for his brother, even die for him. After escaping, he absolutely could have found Nie Yun. However, he believed his brother wasn’t strong enough to get revenge. If he told Nie Yun, knowing his personality, he would definitely charge in recklessly, which would be the same as getting him killed. That’s why he shouldered everything himself!

Resolute, tough, and fiercely loyal—it’s because of this personality that he was able to endure one hundred and thirty-seven sword wounds just to get his brother out of the danger zone, holding on until his very last breath.

Since he was young, Nie Tong was persecuted and left physically disabled. But his physical limitations didn’t stop his determination to become stronger. He moved forward, step by step, with his brother as the greatest goal in his heart—his one and only conviction.

I feel that Nie Tong’s personality is well-rounded. If it were me, I would also rather seek revenge on my own than let my loved ones be put in danger.

Alright, regarding the feedback everyone has given me—the masks being too one-dimensional, the power-leveling being too fast—Lao Ya is considering revising the outline. To be honest, before I started this book, I never expected it to do so well or have so many friends supporting it. I was originally planning on just writing an "invincible protagonist" type of popcorn novel. Since that’s not to your taste, Lao Ya will gradually make corrections.

In the future, Lao Ya will gradually add more emotional scenes to make the characters’ personalities more well-rounded. Of course, given the limits of Lao Ya’s talent, these things will be added slowly, so please be patient. Rest assured, this book will get better and better. Lao Ya will work hard to make you feel that your subscription to my work is worth it!

Everyone has something they hold onto in their heart. Nie Tong is a reflection of Lao Ya myself. After I, Lao Ya, graduated, I moved far from my hometown to pursue my dream, hoping that one day I can give my parents and family a better life! I want to make them proud of me!

Finally, please vote with your monthly tickets! Lao Ya really wants to break into the top six! And please subscribe! We’re only 40 short of 1,000 subscriptions in 24 hours. My brothers, could you help me out with 40 auto-subscribes so we can get there?

And recommendation votes, too! I couldn’t even make it onto the category recommendation list. Have you ever seen such a flop of a Great God...? (To be continued.
