In the end, the Old Ancestor of the Nie Family died, a tragic and violent death!
Died with eyes wide open.
A pair of sunken eyes, even in death, remained strangely blood-red, filled with resentment, unwillingness, regret, and a deep curse.
"Not bad at all." Nie Gu muttered to himself, taking out a crystal bottle from his Space Ring and putting all the blood of the Old Ancestor of the Nie Family into it.
In total, the Old Ancestor's blood amounted to only about fifty milliliters, which was very, very little.
The Old Ancestor of the Nie Family was indeed at the end of his tether.
However, Nie Gu was already satisfied; this bottle of blood was enough to refine a Black Demon Pill.
"Old Ancestor, have a good journey." Nie Gu put away the bottle, glanced at the Old Ancestor's corpse, and on his right hand's middle finger, a small flame ignited. The flame was gray-blue, flickering like a small gray-blue dot, landing on the Old Ancestor's body.
Whoosh!!!
The flame was terrifying.
The body of the Old Ancestor of the Nie Family was immediately engulfed in flames, as if gasoline had met an open flame.
In the blink of an eye, the body of the Old Ancestor vanished without a trace.
Then.
Nie Gu sat cross-legged on the ground.
His expression was calm, devoid of the slightest emotion, as still as water in an ancient well.
He began to refine the Black Demon Pill.
His hands swirled in the air, Nie Gu's movements were complex and strange, but there was a very clear sense to them. He wasn't in a hurry, working methodically.
Soon, after refining dozens of heavenly and earthly treasures and a bottle of blood into a blackish blood-colored viscous liquid, Nie Gu smiled faintly, taking a deep, satisfied breath, then the gray-blue flames on his hands grew more exotic and intense.
The viscous black blood-colored liquid within the medicine cauldron quickly evaporated.
After another stick of incense time.
Within the cauldron, there was only an elixir left, the size of a thumb. It was deep black, incomparably dense, shimmering with a translucent yet slightly bloody eerie glow, as if a demon was grinning and baring its teeth in a sinister smile.
Nie Gu picked up the elixir, put the cauldron away, and the wicked smile on his lips became more pronounced: "The quality is not bad."
He toyed with the Black Demon Pill for a moment before swiftly tossing it into his mouth.
Afterward, Nie Gu became silent!!!
Time flew by.
The next day.
Early in the morning.
Nie Gu opened his eyes, his aura gathered around him like ghostly shadows, swirling, disturbing, dark as can be. He smiled slightly: "Half-Step Fusional Eternal Ancient Realm? The Black Demon Pill is indeed an excellent elixir. Alas, Old Ancestor! All your blood was burned to extend your lifespan, wasted, what was the point of living so long? You exhausted nine million years over your lifetime, ultimately fixed at the low tier of the third level in the Eternal Ancient Realm of Integration, it's truly such a pity, truly laughable, you should have contributed your blood to me centuries earlier, alas, truly such a shame."
With a sigh, Nie Gu stood up.
He glanced at the door: "I suppose it's time for the grand wedding. Qiu Shuang? Charming Yin Body? Born to be my woman."
Qiu Shuang, was of the Charming Yin Body.
This was the most important reason Nie Gu wanted to marry Qiu Shuang.
"Creak." Nie Gu opened the door.
At the entrance.
The head of the Nie Family, Nie Zhenkong, and the Great Elder, also Nie Zhenkong's younger brother, Nie Zhenfeng, Nie Zhenfeng's son Nie Kang, the Second Elder Nie Cuiying, and the Third Elder Nie Xu were all standing at the doorway. They seemed to have been waiting for a long time, probably since last night.
Seeing Nie Gu come out, it was obvious that there was a touch of envy in Nie Kang's eyes. In the whole Nie Family, only Nie Gu was summoned by the Old Ancestors, and frequently so, whereas the rest, even the Patriarch Nie Zhenkong, had to wait outside the Zixuan Cloud Pavilion.
"Nie Gu, how is the Old Ancestor?" Nie Zhenkong spoke, asking worriedly: "The Old Ancestor's lifespan... sigh..."
"The Old Ancestor has already died." Nie Gu said flatly.
"What?!!!" Nie Zhenkong was first stunned, then suddenly choked, his expression fiercely changed, becoming ashen, as did Nie Zhenfeng, Nie Kang, Nie Cuiying, and Nie Xu.
"How... how could it be? The Old Ancestor's lifespan has already run out?" After several breaths, Nie Zhenkong trembled and asked: "Nie Gu, are you lying to your father?"
"I did not lie to you." Nie Gu said flatly: "I watched the Old Ancestor die before my eyes."
"Nie Gu, you... why are you not sad at all? The Old Ancestor was so good to you." Great Elder Nie Zhenfeng frowned, glaring at Nie Gu, somewhat dissatisfied, indeed, very dissatisfied.
"I wasn't sad even when I killed the Old Ancestor." Nie Gu casually glanced at Nie Zhenfeng.
"......"
What?!
Was the Old Ancestor killed by Nie Gu?
With Nie Gu's words, Nie Zhenkong, Nie Zhenfeng, and the others almost fainted, their teeth clenching hard, their faces drained of all color.
"Nie Gu, shut up!!!" Nie Zhenkong roared angrily; he always considered this son as his pride. But Nie Gu's nature was too cold, treating everyone as strangers, even toward him, his father. Previously, Nie Zhenkong just found Nie Gu somewhat inhuman, but did not voice it out. In his view, for a martial cultivator, having a colder nature might be a merit, but who would have thought...
A cold nature and a heart as cruel as a wolf's are not the same!
If the Old Ancestor truly died at Nie Gu's hands, then... then this son of his was not human! Simply as cruel as a demon! So cold the blood curdles! Heart-stopping!
The next moment.
Creak.
Unable to withstand any longer.
Nie Zhenfeng suddenly pushed the door open.
Inside the Zixuan Cloud Pavilion, indeed, there was nothing.
The Old Ancestor had disappeared.
"Big brother..." Nie Zhenfeng's voice changed, pointing into the Zixuan Cloud Pavilion: "Big brother, the Old Ancestor truly isn't inside."
Could it be, Nie Gu's words were true, the Old Ancestor died at his hands?
"You little bastard!!! Tell me! Where is the Old Ancestor? Where has the Old Ancestor gone? Tell your father the Old Ancestor didn't die, you didn't kill the Old Ancestor." Nie Zhenkong was about to go mad, his aura becoming chaotic.
He still held a glimmer of hope since the Old Ancestor's disappearance didn't necessarily mean death.
"After killing the Old Ancestor, I refined an elixir with his blood. Didn't father notice, his son's aura has improved?" Nie Gu said flatly.
If Nie Gu hadn't mentioned, Nie Zhenkong and the others suddenly realized, yes! Nie Gu's aura had become more oppressive!
"Then... where is the Old Ancestor's body?" Nie Zhenkong almost ground his teeth to dust, damned bastard, did he truly kill the Old Ancestor? Not only that, he refined the Old Ancestor's blood.
"Naturally, it was obliterated by me." Nie Gu said casually.
