Free Web NovelChapter 338: Chapter 314: Meeting Parents [Volume 6 Finale]
"I am about to take Nie Yun as my master. If you say you’re his father, wouldn’t that make you my grandmaster? You ignorant fool, daring to act like a senior here! Let me tell you, if I ever hear you say that again, I will kill you!"
Another young man stood up, his anger surging.
"If I hear you dare to insult Lord Yun, I’ll do the same!" the first young man shouted as well.
These young men had long seen Nie Yun as an idol to be worshiped, dreaming of becoming his disciples.
"Look, it’s Lord Yun!"
The two had barely finished speaking when a loud shout suddenly erupted from outside the restaurant.
Many people had witnessed Nie Yun thrashing Huangg Ling in the sky, and his face was now etched in their minds. They were all cultivators, able to memorize a face with a single glance, so his appearance on the street immediately caused a commotion.
"Lord Yun is coming to Hongyang Building! Lord Yun, I’m your admirer, please take me as your disciple!"
A commotion erupted. The two young men who had just been berating Nie Xiaotian saw a figure walk into the hall. Their eyes lit up as they simultaneously fell to their knees in an act of utmost reverence.
However, the person who walked in completely ignored the two youths. Instead, he walked over to the four people they had just been scolding and, with a THUD, knelt down as well!
"Father, Mother, your son has been unfilial. I have made you suffer!"
***
"What? They’re really Lord Yun’s parents?"
’Become his disciple? We offended his parents before we even got in the door. We’re finished...’
Seeing the scene before them, the two young men trembled in fear, cold sweat pouring down.
A moment ago, they were thinking about how they could become Nie Yun’s disciples. Now, they would be overjoyed just to escape being blamed.
"Yun’er? Are you really our Yun’er?"
In contrast to the two youths’ terror, Nie Xiaotian and the others were overcome with a mixture of shock and joy.
From the attitude of the two young men and the restaurant crowd, it was clear that the newcomer was undoubtedly the legendary Nie Yun. And he recognized him as well—it was his own son!
His son was actually the legendary super-genius who had thrashed the Emperor of the Divine Holy Empire and sent the Royal Family’s Secret Realm Ancestor flying with a single sword strike!
"Father, Mother, Sister, City Lord Luoo, let’s go back first. There are too many eyes and ears here."
Nie Yun stood up and, with a grasp of his five fingers, his body’s True Qi formed a massive Qi shield, instantly enveloping his father and the others.
"Let’s go!"
With a clear cry, Nie Yun paid no mind to the crowd in the restaurant. He grabbed the Qi shield and flew into the air, vanishing from sight in an instant.
"Lord Yun’s parents?"
"Lord Yun’s parents actually ate here! We’re going to be rich! Business is going to boom from now on..."
"So that’s Lord Yun! Hearing about him is nothing like seeing him in person. He’s even more handsome and distinguished than the rumors say!"
"His handsome looks are a minor detail. What’s crucial is how much he values his family. Look at how he knelt down the moment he arrived—such filial piety! He’s so much better than those people who get a little bit of power and immediately look down on their own parents!"
"Now that’s a true hero, a true champion!"
As soon as Nie Yun left, the entire Hongyang Building erupted into an unprecedented uproar.
Paying no mind to the bustling Hongyang Building, Nie Yun quickly brought his parents and the others back to Di Lin Villa.
The moment they entered the villa, Luoqing City came running over. Seeing her father safe and sound, her eyes turned red with relief and excitement.
"Father, are you alright? I was worried sick..."
"Qingcheng, your father is fine... You- you’re an Ultimate Venerable Powerhouse now, too?"
Luoo Zhanhao hugged his daughter, but after a moment, he suddenly realized she had also become an Ultimate Venerable Powerhouse, and an incredibly strange expression appeared on his face.
He wasn’t the only one; Nie Xiaotian and the others also looked bewildered. Everyone in the courtyard was at least at the Ultimate Venerable level. When had Nie Yun made so many powerful friends?
"Haha, let’s talk inside!"
Knowing his parents were shocked, Nie Yun chuckled and led them into a room.
After a long talk, Nie Yun finally learned that after Nie Tong had helped them escape, he had hidden their parents and the others in a mountain forest before returning alone to seek revenge!
In the days following his return, he and Xiaofong had taken action, slaughtering every member of the Celestial God Association on their list. Any family or power that had participated in his parents’ capture was wiped out, leaving no one alive—not even the chickens and dogs.
’Show no mercy when killing; when cutting weeds, pull them out by the roots!’
In both his past and present lives, Nie Yun had always adhered to this principle. Otherwise, a moment of misplaced compassion would only bring disaster upon his loved ones.
While he was slaughtering the members of the Celestial God Association, the Imperial Family had been surprisingly quiet. They neither interfered nor took any defensive measures; on the contrary, they even issued official documents to cover for him.
Nie Yun knew his deterrence was working. However, its effect was limited. If he were to actually try and kill Huangg Ling, the old ancestor Huangg Chen would certainly strike back.
Since he didn’t yet have enough power to deal with Huangg Chen, Nie Yun didn’t cross that line. For the time being, the two sides remained at an impasse.
In his spare time, Nie Yun had also used his Healing Qi to treat his younger brother Nie Tong’s hidden injuries. However, these old wounds had already seeped deep into his body and blood, making a complete recovery almost impossible.
Unless he could break through to the Secret Realm and have Creation Qi cleanse his body, there was simply no way he could be healed.
"Brother, don’t worry about me," Nie Tong had said, comforting his anxious brother. "I’m confident I can break through to the Secret Realm on my own! After I do, I want you to take me with you to roam the world and slay all the monsters!"
Hearing his brother’s words, what more could Nie Yun say? ’With a brother like this, what more could one ask for?’
Reunited with his parents, Nie Yun was indescribably ecstatic. In any case, he had countless elixirs. After nearly ten days of consolidating his own power, Nie Yun raised his father, mother, and sister’s cultivation to the Ultimate Venerable Level all at once.
This kind of force-fed promotion wasn’t good for a cultivator’s future development, but for an old monster like Nie Yun who had lived two lives, he had at least dozens of ways to eliminate the negative side effects and ensure they had the power to protect themselves.
"Your Majesty Nie Yun, His Majesty Huangg Ling requests your presence to discuss the trip to the Zihua Cave Mansion!"
After spending another peaceful half a month with his parents, a clear voice suddenly called out from outside the villa one day.
’It seems Huangg Ling and his men have found the last Purple Splendor Jade Seal. Good, it’s about time we set out.’
The last Purple Splendor Jade Seal was incredibly hard to find. It had taken Huangg Ling’s group nearly a month, but they had finally found it. It seemed the expedition to the Zihua Cave Mansion was about to begin.
"The Zihua Cave Mansion is fraught with danger, so you all shouldn’t go." Looking at his parents and the others, Nie Yun gave his orders. "Xiaofong, you’re a Secret Realm Demon Pet and the strongest here. Stay and protect them. I’ll go to this Cave Mansion alone!"
He had offended many people in Guangming City. There was no guarantee that someone wouldn’t come looking for trouble with his parents again once he left. With Xiaofong standing guard, there shouldn’t be any problems.
The strongest on the Qi Sea Continent were at the Secret Realm. After a month of consolidation, supported by elixirs and guidance from an old monster like Nie Yun, Xiaofong’s cultivation had also progressed by leaps and bounds. Even if it still wasn’t a match for Huangg Chen, protecting a few people would be no problem at all.
"Brother, I want to go too!"
Nie Yun had just finished giving his orders when he heard a resolute voice. He turned to see Nie Tong’s eyes filled with pleading.
"The Zihua Cave Mansion is extremely dangerous. You should stay here," Nie Yun said.
"Brother, you told me that one can never achieve greatness by staying in a safe environment. Please, let me go! I’ll take care of myself!" Nie Tong’s gaze was firm.
Looking at his brother’s determined gaze, Nie Yun’s heart softened.
’Though my younger brother Nie Tong is not old, he’s just like me. Once he sets his mind on something, even if it’s wrong, he’ll stick to it without ever backing down—just like with his sword practice, and like how he saved me in my past life...’
"Fine, you can come," Nie Yun relented after a moment’s hesitation, nodding. "But you have to listen to me in all things and not act on your own."
"Don’t worry, Brother, I’ll definitely take good care of myself!" Nie Tong jumped to his feet, his eyes shining with excitement. His innocent expression was no different from how it had been 300 years ago.
"Then let’s go."
With all the arrangements made, Nie Yun leaped into the air, taking Nie Tong with him as they flew toward the Imperial Palace.
Before heading to the Zihua Cave Mansion, there was to be one more discussion. The other Sovereigns would all be there to confirm the Cave Mansion’s location and formulate a plan for entry. That was the meeting they were headed to now.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the main hall of the Imperial Palace. Everyone else was already there.
