Emperor Kong Ming Grave

Heri is tracking Chen Linjiang parties now. Because Ning 'er tells his plan to Ye Zong, he can't join Chen Linjiang party openly.

What he wants is to treasure Shadow Devil Spirit and some gold to sustain his living expenses in the real world. He really not a greedy person.

Right now, what Heri wants is a route to ruin. In a manhua or novel, Mad Snail never mentions the exact road. So, he needs to follow them. He follows their tracks silently and doesn't want to stick closely because of Ziyun's hidden guard.

Now, Chen Linjiang decides to set up the tent. This forest is similar to what Mad Snail draws on a manhua. And Foxbears will surely appear and they will engage in battle. Just let Chen Linjiang deal with it.

"Roar!"

Chen Linjiang and Co. deal with it smoothly. It's not worth mentioning because of the composition of his party. He brings many silver rank underlings. But with this battle, they miss good sleep and they accumulate more fatigue.

Heri uses this time to cultivate silently. He wants to reach silver rank before he comes back to the real world. Why silver rank? Because when he reaches the silver rank, he can integrate a demon spirit into his dantian and become a demon spiritualist.

.....

In Glory City, Xiao Family Hall.

Elders and leaders all attended the meeting. After they know that Xiao Ning 'er is capable of making money, they begin this meeting.

"Ning'er, It's true that you sweep clean Purple Haze Grass stock on the market?" Her father, who sits in the family head seat, asked her.

"Yes, father." Ning'er answer respectfully.

"How much did you produce until now?" he asked again. He feels astonished by Ning's er business instincts. With worthless grass, she can make a huge profit.

"Until now, Ning'er already had 13 million pure profits." Ning'er still answered respectfully.

The elders gasp in admiration. Their younger generation is capable of doing business and making a good profit.

Ning'er father looks at her in a happy but bitter smile. He knows why she desperately makes money. She wants to get rid of the marriage contract.

"You are truly our lucky star. Nephew Ning'er, How about using the money to contribute to the family? With that money, we can take back our family business." An elder named Xiao Yi suddenly talked.

Ning'er turns her head and answers him, "Sorry Elder. This is my own money. I use my own money to buy herbs. I started without the support of my family. I am not obligated to contribute to the family. Why don't elders ask for money for Shen Family?"

"You! This is a family matter. How could you be so selfish?" Elder Yi slightly angered.

"I'm not selfish. I even sacrificed my own future to marry Leecher Sen Fei for the family. How could Elder say that I'm selfish?" Ning'er refuted calmly.

"That's for the family! You were born into this family. So you need to contribute to this family!" Now he's really angry.

"Are my contribution not enough, Elder Yi? I've already lost my freedom!" Ning 'er answers with a faintly bitter smile hanging in her face.

"You!!" Elder Yi began to oppress her with his spiritual force.

Ning'er faces become pallid. But she forcefully endures it and turns her head at her father. "Father, if there is nothing more, I excuse myself."

But before she got out of the hall, she said "Father, please bear it in your mind. The Shen family is like leeches. And if you continue to strengthen the connection with them, I can guarantee that our family will not survive. If you do not trust me, you can watch your family crumble silently."

When Ning 'er comes out of the hall, a blurry shadow moves in the darkness of the night.

Ye Family Hall.

A black shadow appears in front of Ye Zong and reports all about what he hears and sees.

"So, what Ning'er said before is not a bluff to gain my support. It seems her master is not simple. What about Shen family restaurants intelligence?" Ye Zong asked the black men.

"According to our investigation, one of Shen family restaurant has a manager named Yun Hua. His background was fishy. When Little Miss sets out, after a few hours, Yun Hua also vanishes without a trace."

"Hm, what about Ning 'er master?" Ye Zong asked,

"No news." The black man answered

"Good, thanks for your hard work. You are dismissed."

Now Ye Zong enters the deep thought

.....

Now Chen Linjiang, Ye Ziyun, and Co. arrive at the ruined entrance. With this, Heri doesn't have any interest in tailing them again. He goes to the other side of ruin and evades the pack of the ape demon. He has already forgotten about this ape name.

From the manhua, he still remembers about the map. He also remembers about Emperor Kong Ming Stele and hole in the ground.

On the other hand, some people with black cloak came near the ruins.

"Let's catch some fishes and get ransom from the great family. Go!"

But before they make the move, another black group comes up and sneaks attack at them. Most Dark Guild members are already beaten and unconscious. The remaining members are Deacon Yun Hua.

"Who are you!!!" He roared and began to merge with his tiger spirit. He punches his opponent swiftly. But his opponent could dodge swiftly too. Even his opponent's speed is faster than his. In no time, he was already knocked unconscious by his opponent.

"Bring them all to the city lord underground prison. We need to Interrogate them. Go!" The leader commands them and vanishes.

He is Ye Shuo, Ziyun's third uncle. In the TDG novel, he appears in a City Lord banquet. Nie Li gave him blood crystals seeking approval from him.

Then he continues to watch his little miss from darkness to ensure her safety.

"Hm, City Lord information seems accurate. We've had a great haul this time. The probability Shen Family involved or in cahoots with Dark Guild is high." he muttered.

Back to Heri side, he was already in the Emperor Kong Ming Stele. In the novel, after reading the content on the stele, a hole will appear on the ground. Heri silently read it and the ground suddenly collapses. He uses two swords and thrusts it onto the wall to decrease falling speed. Fortunately, when his hand already swollen distance to the bottom is not high.

After he landed safely, he swallows a healing pill and smeared healing cream to his two wrists. He wandered inside and plundering valuable things from his corpse. On the road, he deactivated all traps inside. Heri is a very observant person, with his sharp mind and hint from TDG novel, he can easily deactivate all traps.

He arrived at the so-called Emperor Kong Ming grave. When he arrived at Emperor Kong Ming coffin, he opened it. Suddenly he felt great pressure on his body. The soul force forcefully enters his body and gathers at his dantian. Then an event astonished him. He feels that his Dantian still absorbs crazily and forcefully makes Heri a breakthrough.

Five-star bronze rank.

one-star silver rank.

two-star silver rank.

Three-star silver rank.

When he reaches a three-star silver rank, the soul force is already depleted and vanishes. Then he consolidates his foundation to stabilize his condition. He knows that easy breakthroughs come with hidden dangers and imperfect results. After 3 hours, his dantian became firmer than before.

He stands up and looks at the coffin inside. Similar to the novel, he finds remnants of Temporal Demon Spirit Books and abstruse gemstone pendants. He will save the remnant page and give the gemstone to Ning'er.

"Ning'er will love it."
