Nightmare Immortal Era

Chapter 133: Mother's Death, Sister's Funeral

Indeed, Lin Tianheng contacted Yang Ning using not the usual messaging app, but rather Deep Blue Live.

And it was a live video call.

Lin Tianheng had no other choice. His sister had blocked him, and he didn't have any mutual friends with Yang Ning. He also had no idea that Yang Ning had become friends with Yun Lang.

He didn't dare enter the Extreme Eternal Palace, so the only way he could contact Yang Ning was through Xiao Huan's live stream.

As for why he didn't dare enter the Extreme Eternal Palace...

Mainly because it was too ancient. Almost everyone who knew the secrets of the palace had died, and those who survived had become powerful figures in the Spirit Law Realm. No one dared to ask why they had moved out of the Extreme Eternal Palace.

The younger generation could only see the empty palace and the fact that all the inner disciples lived on the peaks outside. They could only speculate and assume that some powerful figure didn't like people living in the Extreme Eternal Palace.

When Yang Ning, Yuan Xi, and Xiao Huan were protected by golden light and saved, this powerful figure became even more concrete.

Heng Ming!

Yes, it must be Senior Heng Ming who didn't like being disturbed, so he drove everyone out of the Extreme Eternal Palace.

Tower of Eternity: I'm innocent!

But Heng Ming couldn't be bothered to explain.

Deep Blue Live was still very popular. Inner disciples often showcased their daily combat or cultivation routines.

Ordinary people had never seen anything like this before. Even if it was just a simple sword kick and a couple of spins in the air, it would elicit a chorus of "Dad" from the viewers.

This satisfied the desire of many cultivators to show off. After all, why did many people seek immortality? Wasn't it to show off?

But the feature of live video calls was rarely used. After all, you couldn't expect cultivators to showcase their talents on live broadcasts!

Until today, when an unexpected event involving love, betrayal, life and death, and choices unfolded, completely unscripted and without any staged elements, it ignited the live video call feature.

Countless inner disciples and artifact refining masters and alchemists flocked to the live stream, including those who were already live streaming, redirecting their viewers to join in.

Cultivators loved gossip, and ordinary people loved it even more.

Moreover, the two parties involved in this event were not unfamiliar to everyone. One was Lin Tianheng, the young master of the Lin family, and the other was Yang Ning, who had invented the Quyuan Plow, waterwheel, automobile, and engine.

Talented individuals emerged in the live stream, and in no time, several comments explained the whole story, and the viewers gradually formed their own opinions.

Although their opinions were irrelevant.

"Yang Ning, how can you be such a heartless person without parents or blood?" a female cultivator accused.

"How should I address you?" Yang Ning asked.

"Hmph, I am Feng Feifei from the Yuhuan Sect!" the female cultivator proudly declared.

The Yuhuan Sect was also a prestigious sect, and Feng Feifei was at the Qi Refining Stage. It seemed that she wasn't just an ordinary person in the Yuhuan Sect.

Yang Ning quickly accessed the Cloud Mist Information Matrix and obtained Feng Feifei's chat records, call records, photo album, and videos. In the blink of an eye, he knew more about her than she knew about herself.

This was the Supreme Divine Ability: Art of Big Data!

"Feng Feifei, the surname Feng is not an ordinary surname. It should be the surname of the Yuhuan Sect's sect master. Are you the daughter of the sect master?" Yang Ning asked.

"You know best!" Feng Feifei proudly lifted her head, resembling a graceful swan.

"The master's daughter, you don't look older than 25, but you've already reached the Qi Refining Stage. I suppose your parents must have put in a lot of effort to cultivate you," Yang Ning asked again.

"Of course!" Feng Feifei still hadn't sensed anything wrong, and Lin Tianheng was the same. He was used to overpowering others with his status and was naturally not skilled in this kind of verbal confrontation.

However, Yang Ning laughed and asked, "Your father worked hard to raise you and even cultivated you to the Qi Refining Stage. Yet, you silently joined the Extreme Eternal as an inner disciple, a nameless and insignificant plaything, not even worthy of being a concubine!"

"You say I have no parents, do you have them?" Feng Feifei was initially stunned, but her face immediately turned black. She screamed, "Bastard, what are you saying? I am not some plaything. I truly love Young Master Tianheng!"

Her scream didn't frighten Yang Ning. Instead, it annoyed Lin Tianheng, who furrowed his brows and waved his hand, saying, "Take her away, she's too noisy!"

Feng Feifei looked puzzled, saying, "Tianheng, Young Master Tianheng, I did all this for you!"

Lin Tianheng completely ignored her. His subordinates were efficient and immediately dragged Feng Feifei out of the hall.

Yang Ning noticed that the girl next to Lin Tianheng gave him a mocking look.

Tsk tsk, Lin Tianheng is living a truly heavenly life. He was previously with the Saintess, and now he has the eldest daughter of a major sect.

"You're still as sharp-tongued as ever!" Lin Tianheng personally stepped forward, walked to Yang Caier, and lifted her chin, making her look at the screen. He whispered, "Do you recognize this person? He's your brother!"

Yang Caier was only four years old and didn't understand anything.

She wasn't a transmigrator and didn't have a high IQ. She couldn't understand the images on the phone and didn't understand what Lin Tianheng was saying. Instead, she sprayed saliva.

Lin Tianheng furrowed his brows, quickly withdrew his hand, and slapped her with the back of his hand.

The strength of a Gold Core cultivator was immense. Yang Caier flew like a cannonball and crashed heavily into a pillar in the distance, turning into a mess!

This scene happened too quickly, and even Yang Ning didn't see it clearly. His mind went blank afterward!

"Ah!" Wu Xia stood still, dumbfounded, and turned her head to look at the pool of blood on the ground. It took her a long time to understand what had happened.

"This is outrageous! My daughter, she's only four years old!"

"Nonsense!" Lin Tianheng frowned and waved his sleeve again. Wu Xia flew into the air and crashed heavily into a jade pillar several people could embrace, following her daughter!

Both of them crashed into the same pillar!

He wanted to use Yang Ning's family to threaten him, but as a Gold Core cultivator, he was too noble to be insulted by an ordinary person!

When Lin Tianheng turned around, he saw Yang Ning with a calm expression, seemingly unaffected by any emotions.

He grinned, "Even in the face of your mother and sister's deaths, you can remain so calm. Feng Feifei didn't evaluate you wrongly. You truly are a heartless person!"

Yang Ning looked at the mother and daughter lying on the ground, completely unrecognizable.

Heartbroken? Angry?

Yang Ning showed no emotional expression, his tone still indifferent but forceful, "I am, after all, an official disciple of the Extreme Eternal Sect. Yet, my mother and sister were casually killed by you, Lin Tianheng. What an imposing presence you have!"

He wouldn't counterattack Lin Tianheng for being heartless or anything like that because he truly was heartless. He didn't boast about his moral superiority.

Such attacks were meaningless to him.

So Yang Ning approached from a different angle.

As soon as these words were spoken, Lin Tianheng's face turned black, and a female cultivator next to him whispered, "Young Master, the comments below are very unfavorable to us!"

Lin Tianheng took out his phone and looked at it. Sure enough, it was filled with messages expressing emotions!

"Wow, even the disciples of the Extreme Eternal Sect can't protect their own mothers. I'm just from a small sect. Should I kneel down and beg for mercy when I see Lin Tianheng in the future?"

"At least you're from a sect. I'm just a low-grade family descendant. If I see Lin Tianheng, do I have to offer up my sister to stay alive?"

"How old was that child? He couldn't even speak and was killed. He is heartless towards children, yet there are still people rushing to flatter him?"

"He has money, power, and status. He's from the South Forest Lin Family and a Gold Core cultivator!"

Lin Tianheng's face turned dark. "You people are really a bunch of troublemakers. How dare you! Just killing some lowly people is nothing. Do you really think you have the right to judge me?"

"Who dares? You are a prominent figure who ruthlessly harms your own sect and relatives!"

"It seems like I have to move my parents away. Who knows when I might offend you and lose my mother!"

There were comments from Perfected Beings, but most of them were controlled by Deep Blue robots. After all, fake names were used online, so Lin Tianheng couldn't distinguish who was really insulting him. He actually thought there were so many people cursing him!

With his power, he not only killed the relatives of formal disciples, but also outer disciples and inner disciples.

So what? Who can control him?

If I can't be beaten, I'll just go into seclusion for three months and be punished for half a year!

After all, my Lin family has served the Extreme Eternal for generations. What's wrong with enjoying some privileges?

However, the premise of killing is that things shouldn't escalate. It's not that he's afraid of being besieged, but he still wants to become the head of the Extreme Eternal. If he's portrayed as a Great Demon, how can he become the head?

"Damn it!" Lin Tianheng became angrier the more he read. Finally, he turned his head and said, "Who are these people talking? Find them for me!"

"Uh!" The female cultivator's face turned dark. How could she find them?

Oh right, the phone was made by the Artifact Refining Association, so the artifact refiners should know.

She immediately took out her phone and called Li Yuan.

After a while, the call connected, and the female cultivator hurriedly asked, "Senior Li, I have a list here. Find out who is behind them and send it to me!"

"Are you talking about the viewers in your live stream?" Li Yuan was also watching the live stream, so he knew what the female cultivator wanted to do. He directly said, "That's impossible. The names were designed by themselves after the phone was in someone else's hands. I don't know their real names!"

"You can't control what you made?" Lin Tianheng angrily asked, "Are you just going to let a bunch of commoners ruin my reputation here?"

Do you still need to worry about your reputation?

Li Yuan rolled his eyes and said, "The core runes of the phone are very complex. Only one person here understands them. If you want to know the Perfected Beings behind those names, only he can help!"

"Who is that person?" Lin Tianheng immediately asked.

"Uh, his name is Yang Ning. Aren't you in a live call with him?"

"Bang!"

The phone dropped, and the call naturally ended.

Yang Ning put down his phone, his eyes lifeless as he looked ahead. In the next moment, he felt his head being pressed down.

"Don't be sad, it's not your fault!" Yuan Xi whispered.

Only she knew that Yang Ning was not a heartless person. He had normal emotions, just buried deeper than others.

Yang Ning sniffed. His Black Tortoise Aura Concealing Technique could calm his mind, and his electric control ability could regulate hormone secretion and suppress emotions.

After all, human emotions are controlled by hormones. As long as I don't secrete them, I won't feel sad!

Yang Ning stared with wide eyes. I wasn't familiar with Wu Xia, and I had never seen that Yang Cai'er. Even if my parents and siblings were all dead, so what? Cultivation is a lonely path, isn't it?

Besides, I can revive them later!

A sense of infiltration appeared on the girl's hand. Yuan Xi pretended not to notice and gently rubbed Yang Ning's hair, humming a lullaby like a gentle breeze.

The wind suddenly rose, and the clear sky was suddenly covered with dense dark clouds.

Flashes of lightning flickered like wandering dragons within the dark clouds.

After countless flashes of lightning and thunder, a torrential rain fell from the sky, covering millions of miles of rivers and mountains, enveloping the entire Extreme Eternal Sect.

Is even the heavens weeping?

"Let's go back!" Xiao Huan whispered.

"Mhmm!" Yuan Xi looked at the rain. Extreme Eternal had formations, but they couldn't stop this Celestial Phenomenon with no traces of mana. However, today's rain was indeed much heavier.

She was about to help Yang Ning up when she suddenly felt that something was wrong.

An inexplicable power descended from the sky, causing Yuan Xi's scalp to tingle and her body to break out in cold sweat.

"This is..." Xiao Huan suddenly felt her body being restrained, and then her collar was tightened from behind. Yuan Xi was lifting her up, taking her out of the courtyard!

"Master is still in the courtyard!" Xiao Huan exclaimed.

"I can't take him with me!" Yuan Xi looked more panicked than Xiao Huan.

"Why?"

"Because he's cultivating Qi!"

"How is that possible? Master hasn't even practiced the 'Yang Shen Technique' yet, and he has only been practicing the 'Myriad Manifestations Star Art' for four months. Others would find four years of practice insufficient!" Xiao Huan exclaimed in shock.

Yuan Xi shook her head. How could she not know why?

Yang Ning was a calm person, but he had done something so impulsive. It could only be because his emotions were overwhelming and he couldn't suppress his mind.

He was so kind and compassionate, the only official who cared about the people, and the only cultivator who saw land annexation as a sin!

Even if it was a girl he didn't know who was killed, he would be furious, let alone his own younger sister!

At this moment, Yuan Xi couldn't do much, so she could only clasp her hands together and pray for her loved one.

"May the spirits be comforted, and may Ning Jun safely pass this calamity, and may his path be prosperous!"

"May the autumn wind and clear moon bring peace to the soul of my loved one, and may his mana flourish!"

"May the Chang River be stable and secure, and may the chaotic primordial spirit show mercy to this person, with boundless Divine Ability."

Sigh.

At night, while sleeping and contemplating the plot, I couldn't fall asleep no matter what. But I couldn't think of a way to break the deadlock unless there was divine intervention or Heng Ming took action. However, Heng Ming only protected the people of Extreme Eternal and had no reason to intervene.

Today, I suddenly understood the cruelty of struggle.
